The Difficult Mate

Twenty One

Theo POV

Emma comes into the office looking very concerned. I can barely move. She killed a child. Lily took the life of a child. Emma asks me what's wrong and I have to snap myself back to reality. I tell her about the fight Lily and I had.

"Theo she seemed really upset about the fight. You should talk to her." Emma explains. I say and wish it was that easy. Suddenly I'm being mind linked by Lily. Tell her! Tell them all what I did! Let them hate me like they should! I want to respond that I don't hate her. I don't but I can't wrap my head around what she did. Emma asks me about the little girl and I rub my head. She wants her to know.

Moments later Luke, Carter, Logan and Thomas come in. Apparently Lily wants them all to actually know. I explain the story to them almost exactly as Lily said it to me. Hearing it the second time helps me understand. Of course Lily wouldn't want the little girl to be tortured but to kill her?

I should talk to her more. I dismiss everyone but Emma who agrees to come home with me to talk to Lily. On our bed is a note.

Dear Theo,
I love you. That needs to be very clear. I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone else. I understand that after what I told you, you hate me. I wish I could change what I did but I can't. I'm sorry about Jason. I am just as responsible for his death as William and just as William paid for that death with his life I will with mine. I'm giving up this life with the pack and going somewhere far from here. Jason was everything I could have wanted in a mate and I thought we would be perfect for each other. Instead I get him killed. Two deaths stain my hands and I can't handle that. Explain to Emma how it was truly all my fault. I can't handle looking in the mirror and seeing the girl who wasn't strong enough against William and Peter. I can't handle the dreams of death and hands on my body. I tried to be a good Luna to your pack but you are an amazing Alpha who doesn't need me. You never have. All I did was complicate your life and I'm sorry. The only thing I will not apologize for is my inability to get pregnant. Not only is that out of my control but I'm glad I can't. No baby should live the way we do with the fighting and the drama. Please Theo I beg you to forget me and mate with someone beautiful and less stressful. Don't hurt them like you hurt me. I'm not upset about the times you hit me but learn from that mistake. Do t dwell on me or where I am. We were never destined to work. I think that I was only here to show you how to treat your second chance mate and to bring someone like Carter into your life. Tell Carter I love him and say the same to my family. I've caused too many people too much pain and this is the way I'll fix it. Goodbye ~ Lily

She's gone? She left! I hand the note to Emma before falling to my knees in sorrow. She left me. Emma places a hand on my shoulder and pulls me up.

"She's right. Not about any of these being her fault but she's right. You two are not meant for one another. I know it hurts and I'm in pain as well but she's gone and you will not bring her back here. This place and the memories are too toxic. She said her goodbyes now we say ours." Emma says with tearful eyes. How can she say that!

Lily is my mate! We are meant for each other! I storm out of the room and into the kitchen but am stopped dead in my tracks. Standing in my kitchen is a woman with dark flowing hair and a heavenly white dress. The moon goddess.

"Hello Alpha Theo." She says in a low hypnotic voice.  She continues to speak "Do not go after Lily. This is her destiny and yours as well. You will love another and she will give you a son. Lily was never meant to stay with you."

"You put her through all of that torture for what! She gets abused and hurt for what? What's the point of all this?" I scream out in anger.

"Lily was to be my one of my greatest creations. Her speed and heart would make her an excellent Luna and her child would be the greatest of them all. I wanted a great in my image. While she lay in her mothers womb I saw what fate had in store for her. I am the creator of life but I do not control fate. She would have became pregnant with the baby of Peter and spent the rest of her days as a slave to an evil man and a far more evil son. I could not do this to her or the future victims of her son's own making. I took away her ability to have children in a deal with fate. The deal was she will be mateless and childless until she dies but  her son would never be born. I thought when pairing you two it would work but when fate showed me you I knew I was wrong. I made another to bear the next king but she wasn't made as I made Lily. Your wife will be strong and give you beautiful children. Be happy in what you have received because it all could have been much different." She explains and begins to fade away.

"So that's it! All that pain because fate willed it? You couldn't force him to leave your greatest creation alone?" I yell to no one as she fades into nothingness.

Lily is gone because of stupid fate and destiny decided to tear us apart. No that can't be how the story ends!
