--------------------------------------------------------

Remember that feeling I had this morning? Like something bad was going to happen. This was the bad thing. I was in the tub. My wrists were slit open and reality slowly slipped away. I had put some wolfsbane into the warm water before I cut myself. This ensured that my wounds wouldn't heal while I laid in the water.

Memories of my parents played through my mind. Everything was quiet. It was becoming easier not to breath. Slowly, I was drifting of into the darkness. I was weak. Alpha Jacob was right. I was definitely and utterly weak. My mate hated me, my own uncle hated me and I couldn't defend myself from him. I talk a big game but in actuality, I'm all bark no bite.

It's easier this way. Easier to end it all... Lyra and Xander can have their happily ever after and Alpha Jacob can't hurt me now. My vision blurred and I heard mumbling.

This is how it's going to end.

I was pulled out of the bathtub. I was too weak to fight back whoever pulled me out of the tub.
All I heard was a soft voice.

I was put onto my bed and I heard shouting. I was too weak to move or speak. Why did they stop me. Why? Why?Why? Why did they prevent me from escaping? They ruined my escape.

I was crying.

"Stay with me. Don't close your eyes. Stay with me, please! " there were two people in my room. I could sense them and I heard two heartbeats other than mine. I closed my eyes.

----
I woke up on my bed. I heard slight movements and my vision cleared. My head was pounding. Liam and Storm were sitting next to me.

They each weren't aware that I was awake.

"Why did you stop me? ", I asked. My voice was strained.

Liam woke up quickly and softly held me. Storm cried onto my stomach.

"Don't ever do that again. I thought I lost you. I already lost one sister. I can't loose another. ", Liam said with eyes full of pain.

"You're my closest friend. You can't leave. Rebecca, What happened? ", Storm asked softly.

I didn't think people actually cared about me. Storm looked at Liam and there was something in their eyes when they looked at each other.I smiled softly.

"You're mates", I said soflty.

They both smiled instantly at each other and liam grabbed her hand. He nodded.

"I found her when I found a trail of your blood. By the time I got to your room Storm was crying and trying to break down the door. I pushed her away while breaking down the door and the physical contact... well", he said expecting me to know the rest.

"Enough about us, what happened to you? Why did you decide to hurt yourself like that? ", Storm and liam questioned.

I looked away from their gaze...

I'm hurt... but I'm glad you're ok... please don't ever do a stupid thing like that ever again or I'll take control myself. - Grace whispered.

"I-I couldn't handle Lyra and Xander being together", I lied. I couldn't tell them why Alpha Jacob was after me without telling them my real name.

Part of me felt like I was telling the truth. I was telling a bit of truth mixed in with some lies. Maybe I couldn't handle how things were with my mate and how Alpha Jacob appeared out of the blue.

"The mate bond does crazy things but hurting yourself doesn't fix things. It makes it worse. ", liam said.

"I have come to care for you Becs and I was so afraid I lost you. Seeing all that blood and you were not responding...", Storm cried and liam hugged her.

"You'll heal in the next few hours. You were out cold for two hours. It is 5pm now. "Liam said holding my hand.

"Please. Don't tell Xander... ", I held onto Storm's arm.

They both nodded.

They never left my side that entire night. They kept checking if I was alright and told me things will get better.

I would have been dead by now if they hadn't pulled me out of the water.

---
It's been 2 weeks since my 'incident' and liam and Storm have grown closer... they've also spent a lot of time with me since then. Maybe they felt I was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Xander and Lyra continued to do what ever they did and I never felt so alone but loved in my life. Xander continued to be an egotistical ass and Lyra kept piling the chores. Things were back to normal- for them atleast.

I was in constant fear of Alpha Jacob appearing again. So much so that I couldn't sleep at night. I began having nightmares and the dizziness during the day worsened.
