"Enjoy your day at school honey, daddy loves you." I say to my youngest daughter who is now existing the car.

"Love you too daddy!" my little angel replies.

Then I drive back to the pack house with my son in the car. He claims 'to be sick' and refuses to go to school...reminds me of myself when I was his age.

"You miss him don't you?" asked Xavier pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I ask.

"You miss him. You know, you might think I'm always glued to my phone but dad, I notice the small things. Like how you suddenly slow down whenever we pass the old pack house. How your eyes water a little when you drift off and think about uncle Ryan. The big Alpha Elijah Daniels act really doesn't work on me dad."

Ryan's P.O.V

Here I am, looking at the twenty-five karat diamond ring that I have had for a good two years. I was going to make her my wife. She was my everything, but no, I had to chicken out and delay the process and now...now my soul mate is gone.

I can still hear the witches words ring in my head.

a war driven by hurt, revenge and blood thirst.

When she said that I thought she was talking about Amber but no, it was my baby. She was hurt that the only parent she had, the only person she had growing up was killed, by her own sister. And the fact that she killed him deliberately, made it worse.

So she was determined to avenge her father, no matter the cost. Just like her father had taught her.

The wave of pain came over me like a storm. There were no other words to describe it but painful. And this is only the half of it.

Elijah and I were now on the staircase that led to the cells when the wave hit me.

"You okay?"

"Im fine." i say taking a deep breath. "But we need to hurry up, we don't have much time."

We started picking up our pace but as soon as we got there, the mage didn't even have to use magic because when we got there, everything was wiped out. It's like a bomb was dropped down here, wiping out everything in sight.

I couldn't even hold back the tear that rolled down my cheek as I thought about her. She was getting out of control and the council commanded me to kill her as i was the love of her life.

They knew I wouldn't be able to do it. Who would have the courage to look their mate in her eyes and dive a stake in their heart?

You know that saying, loving can hurt? Yeah believe me it hurts like hell. Just thinking that I wouldn't be able to wake up next to her, feel her snuggle against me at night, her smile that would lift my mood in seconds, her laugh, it was gone. All of it. With her.

Caroline was dressed in a black attire, one similar to the one the vampire queen always wore when she went to war. Her eyes the most electic blue I have ever seen.
