For a moment, everything around me stops and all I can look at is the place where my mate lays dead with no sign of life left. I stand it total confliction because I'm not supposed to feel anything for the male who felt nothing for me. He hurt me in ways I can't even explain, over and over, with no thought of my feelings; yet here I am, paralyzed in my spot.

I feel the heavy breath of Emmett on the back of my neck. I know he's watching my reaction closely. Does he remember what it felt like to watch Amare die in front of him?

"I had to do it." Is what he says to me. "You wouldn't."

"I know," I assure him. "I know." This time assuring myself.

"Lux, this isn't the time to break down. Were are not close to finishing this." He still stands behind me, lecturing me as if he hears things from the moon herself.

"Is this how it felt when you lost my sister?" My mind fixated on that one fact. If this is what I feel for someone I never loved, how did it feel for him to lose his everything?

"Really Lux? Is now the time to ask me about her?" But I know deep down she's all he can think about now. For a moment everything doubt comes back I had about him and me. Is this world even worth it with no one to have it with? An Alpha is nothing without his Luna, how do I lead a pack by myself? He grabs me by both arms and spins me to face him. "you are worthy of love, Lux. Look at all of these people fighting for you. You will always have people for you. She's not here anymore, that done. This, this isn't finished yet, this has hardly even started."

His words ignited my fire back up. Now is not the time to doubt those who fight with me. Now is the time to finish what I came here for. I came here for the honorable fight against my father and that is how I choose to win.
