Without Him..

Oh no...

I don't understand why my feelings feel so strong towards Isaac. I love Derek don't I? I need to ask my mother. But how do I contact her?
Suddenly a rush wind blows through the room. Right before me stands the Vampire Goddess.

"Love, I know your feelings feel complicated but you need to remember that you are part vampire which means the "mate" word isn't as strong as it would be if you were a full werewolf. In other words, you have a choice in who your mate will be.

She pauses.

"Well you should have, but Fate made a mistake and what Fate does is not reversible. You ended up with four mates. One not being a very strong bond. AKA Troy. Kingston was a mistake. He has a mate but Valera messed that up. Then there's the two that matter. Derek and Isaac."

"Your love for Kingston and Troy aren't strong enough to be put into a relationship. But these two men Derek and Isaac are different. One of them you will live your life with."

"Here's the tragic part. One will live for you.. the other will die for you. This is what fate has decided. I'm sorry sweetheart."

I look over at Isaac sleeping peacefully. My eyes begin to water. Whoever I don't choose is going to die for me.

"I don't want either of them to die. They don't deserve that. I can't live with myself knowing that I'm deciding who will live and who will die."

The Vampire Goddess looks at me sadly.

"You won't choose. Fate will.."

In a blink of an eye she disappears.

I sit quietly crying. I have no choice. What if Derek is the one who has to die? Then again what if its Isaac. I look over at him as tears stream down my face. Even if we aren't meant to be together. He shouldn't have to die because of me.

I cry into my hands feeling miserable. Then I feel two arms wrap around me and pull me back down on the bed.

I lean into Isaac as he holds me close.

He whispers into my ear.

"I heard everything. I'm so sorry Delilah. No matter what happens. Dead or alive I will always love you."

Next thing I know I feel my eyes begin to close as Isaac hums softly into my ear.

"Goodnight, Delilah."

Derek POV

I look at Michael as he comes into the room steaming mad.

"Look Michael. I don't have time to explain everything but Delilah needs us. She is in the hands of the Rogue King."

Michael stares at me in shock.

"How the heck did she end up over there?"

I shrug my shoulders not wanting to get into that conversation.

Reece walks in out of breath.

"The Rogue King is on the phone. He wants to talk to you Derek."

I growl. If he hurt one hair on her head I'm going to kill him.

I go over to my phone on the floor.

"Is this Alpha Derek?"

I calmly take a deep breath.

"Yes it is."

"We have a problem involving Delilah. I'm not sure you are going to like what you are about to hear."

I angrily growl.

"Spit it out rogue."
