Wolf Love

Chapter 15

I finally got my strength back after all that time not eating. It was hard to loose Ben, even though most of our memories weren't real. I was never the jealous type, even with Ash, but I was with him. Maybe because I knew deep down that I lost someone else and I didn't want to loose him too. The house I grew up in was still intact, surprisingly. Everything was in it's place. Except a message on the wall in my room from Adrian. It said: "Love me or leave the world." I knew it was an empty threat, at least for now.

Ash and I would start our journey to the cave again. I knew it was close because on full moons I could feel it activating. I had a connection with the cave since my true form was in it.

We were planning on leaving at dawn, which is in a few hours. It was a new moon tonight, so the cave couldn't be active. We decided to not bring anything except our clothes since it was just us and we can transform. We did so when the sun rose, and we left for the cave. We waited until the sun was at it's highest to rest and eat, and we did so in human form.

"Are you alright?" Ash finally asked. We haven't talked all day, and I really don't know if I want to. However, I knew that Ash had been waiting to ask me since we woke up.

"I don't know. I mean, nothing Ben and I had in the past was real. Ash none of it was until I got my memories back and saw that everything I felt for him was real. I spent two years with him. In that time we got engaged and had sex with one another. I loved him, but on our wedding day I was going to leave him. Now I see him die before my eyes, we leave to bury him, and we're going back to the place he died at," I said without a single tear coming out of my eyes.

"Look, Liz, I can't say I know what you're going through because know one I love has died. To be honest I didn't like the guy all that much. I know that's not at all what you want to hear right now, but it's the truth. He loved you, I loved you, you loved both of us. If me saying this has made you mad and you don't want to talk fine, but I can't stand here and watch you grieve for someone you barely knew. He's gone and you loved him, but there's nothing you can do about it. You have other things to worry about," he said. I knew he was right, but he could've been more subtle about it.

All I did was transform, in the process forgetting to take my clothes off and them ripping to shreds. He followed soon after. He went to the next town to get me something else to wear. I put the bag in my mouth and started running again since I never transformed back human because I had no clothes to wear.

Then sundown came and I transformed. I altered the outfit into something I could wear comfortably and still run. I fixed the shoes as well because I am not running with heels on. After I was dressed I came to an infuriated looking Ash. I decided to ignore him because I wasn't in the best mood as well. Then he finally spoke.

"How can you grieve for someone you barely even know?" He asked.

"I do know him. I've known him for two years. You have known me for seven. No, I am not counting those two years with Ben because you weren't there. Yes I do love you, but I also loved him. I didn't want to see him killed, and that's exactly what happened. I wish I would've listened to you and not let him come. No better yet, I wish I was with Adrian right now. Do you know why? Because if I was with him Ben would be alive. I wouldn't have known him, or fallen in love with him. You would be with someone that makes you happy without a different man being in her life," I said without regret.

Ash was about to say something when a little light came out of no where.

"As you wish," the voice said.

I was trying to reach for Ash, but I was too late. Everything went to an intense spinning, then a sudden fall. After that everything went black and I knew something was wrong.
