"My life? How will it happen?" I ask feeling s pain in my heart.
"I can not see for certain on how, but i can tell it's not in vain. And you're full of love in your final moments." She says reaching out with her old hand gripping my young one.
I stare in wonder at the contrast. My tanner, young hand engulfed in her paper thin wrinkled pale one. "Will my babies survive?" I ask unable to look her in the eyes.
"Yes my dear they do survive. And they grow to become wonderful wolves. And do great things." She says giving my hand a squeeze and I'm not sure if she's telling me this because it's true and she's seen it or because she's trying to comfort. But it does what I'm sure she knew it would, it sends a feeling of calm over me.
"Okay so what's the game plan. Are you coming back to the pack with me tonight?"
"No my dear. I will be there first thing in the morning. And make sure you let your pack know this so they don't do something foolish."
"Yes ma'am I will. Thank you." I say stranding from the table.
"And dear!" She calls to me causing me to turn back around. "I wouldn't say anything about the outcome of your life to your mate. We will need you in this fight to win." She says.
I nod making my way back out to the street. The wind whipping around me like crazy blowing my hair in every direction. A sign that winter is coming and it's going to be a hard one. Hugging my jacket closer to me and hanging my head low I start walking faster to the lot where I parked my bike.
I make it to my bike and see Matt leaning against it with his arms crossed and the most sour look on his face I've ever seen. And I know I'm in a lot of trouble, but now knowing what I do I don't regret doing this without him.
"Hi." I whisper walking up to him reaching out to rap my arms around his waist but he gabs them preventing me from touching him.
"What the fuck is your problem?" He ask in an eerily calm voice.
"I'm sorry and I know you don't understand and to be honest I don't either but I had to do this on my own." I say unable to look him in the eye.
"Not good enough. Now get on this bike. Get home and go to the guest room." He tells me in that same calm voice.
I can't even bring myself to argue with him. I just bow my head lower and submit.
He huffs and walks away away without another word. Climbing onto my bike I start start her up and force the tears back as I head back to the pack house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When i get back to the house i Park my bike in the main garage and make my way into the house. As soon as i walk in everyone turns to stare at me. "There will be a witch coming here first thing in the morning. Her name is Maliky. Don't do something stupid. She is very powerful. Make sure everyone is informed of her impending arrival." I say turning away from them and heading up the stairs without another word. I first go into mine and Matt's room. Well i suppose Matt's room until further notice, i grab a pair of pajama shorts and one of Matt's tees, and head into the guest room.
Quickly changing i climb under the foreign duvet and begin to cry, Silent tears rolling down my cheeks into the pillow that smell of lemon laundry soap instead of the pine tree musk of my mate. Which just makes me cry more. The stress of everything and all the excitement as worn me ragged and i fall into a deep sleep almost instantly with tears still running down my face.
Matt's POV
As soon as i walk into the pack house the mumbling that was going on in the living room comes to an abrupt halt. "What's going on?" I snap.
"It's Luna sir. She's been crying." Says one of the young pups Kevin.
"Why?" I ask feeling concern fill me but not enough to over power the anger.
"We aren't sure sir. She stopped not long ago, she fell asleep." He says avoiding my glare.
I spin away from them without another word and take the stairs two at a time. Completely passing our room i head straight to the guest room where my beautiful and stupid mate is. Opening the door i see she is asleep and i can smell the salt from her tears.
Looking at her face with tear streaks running down it, puffy eyes and disheveled hair, my heart breaks. Walking over to the bed i kick off my shoes and move the blanket back climbing in next to her and rapping her tightly in my arms.
"I love you Ashton. And i don't know what i would do if i ever lost you." I say kissing the top of her head.
Ash POV
Matt ends up joining me in the guest room, causing me to wake up as soon as his scent hits my nose.
"I love you Ashton. And i don't know what i would do if i ever lost you." He Says kissing the top of my head.
One more single year falls from my eye and lands on his shit, because i know the truth. I know that I'm a months time he will have to figure out what he will without me.
