Saving Us *Mate Astray*

Chapter 14

Author's note: Hey Guys, just a heads up. There are three different POV's in this chapter so keep a look out just so you don't get confused. The characters name will be in Bold. I will stick to only one but in order to move on with the story I needed to introduce other characters.

Again thank you for reading my story and enjoy.

Sarah's POV

Darkness, cold and unrelenting darkness surrounded me and took over my world. I sat frozen in the confinements of my bedroom where I had chosen to meditate and speak to my mate that until yesterday I thought had died.

Now here I am, staring at the walls that seemed to be closing in on me, alone, confused and hurt.

Had my mate actually forced me out of her mind?

"You deserved nothing less"

Silver

She had been silent for days now, having refused to speak to me since we hurt our mate.

"We? NO! You hurt our mate, you made her cry out in agony, you were the cause for the bruises that mark her body!"

Her anger made her voice loud and vicious, power emanating from every word, what started out composed quickly turned into a ferocious growl at the memories of her mate in pain, pain she had felt as if it were her own.

"You broke the bond between mates simply to sleep with some playboy. Did you have to give in to him so easily?"

That's enough! I did not know Elektra was alive.

"I tried to tell you. Time and time again but you pushed me away like you did to everyone else that tried to help, except for that playboy. No, the minute he touched you, showed affection and desire you caved like a pup in heat!"

Enough!

"NO! You hurt my mate, my other half, my reason for living...Don't you dare run away from this."

She is OUR mate

I say with a growl powerful enough to shake the windows of my room and to make several items fall from my desk. How dare she claim Elektra as her own? She is our mate.

"A mate you do not deserve."

I could say nothing to that. It was true, Elektra was far too good for me. She was innocent, kind and beautiful and within a month of knowing me I broke her.

I grabbed at my hair in frustration, guilt was slowly starting to became all that I could think of. How could I have made such a mistake?

I quickly got up from the bed and made my way to one of the cupboards at my desk, from there I pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniels and started drinking straight from the bottle. The burn in my throat after every swig was the distraction I needed.

I opened the cupboard once again and took out another bottle, made my way to the balcony and sat staring at the moon.

Elektra's POV

Elektra

Her voice resonated from somewhere inside my head. It wasn't familiar, I had never heard it before, it was but a whisper but it was there and with it a presence made itself known.

You have to wake up

Her voice was clear and strong, there was an underlining power that seemed to vibrate within each word with promises of a powerful being. I couldn't feel my body, my mind seemed to be the only thing that remained so with great effort I tried to speak.
