.''Than what are you?''.

Max's pov:

"Well because.... I'm her mate."

Silence reigned master in the room.

Yes, I am alive, I did die that day but Derek found me in time to bring me back to the land of the living, CPR is magnificent.

Alex had left and I was crushed as she had gone with Cain, the person because of which many had died.

We searched for them for ten years before giving up, knowing they are somewhere but unable to find a trace, Alexis have erased some of her presence and Cain changed our memories so they like disappeared. Alone on my own I had trained to use Harold's gift like she had done with me, I wanted to know if I was able to see her or him with that power, I had gained a grip on the powers but nothing like Harold had from what Iris, or my Spirit wolf, had told me but good enough to see memories and the future is I wished and change the present memories but it was still not my gift so not meant to be used by me so I sucked a bit.

I noticed after a while that one I didn't age and was as fast as vampires realizing she did turn me, I actually was angry when I first realized that because she had left me alone and I wanted to be changed to be with her, it hurt to see people around me change and grow old but I guess she felt that too.

It was a stab to the heart to hear the twins were called Anna and Mike, I tried to stop their future death by keeping them away from the fight but when Cain attacked the village itself it was their end, Al had left the pack after that so I lost another friend of mine.

I was feeling so guilty for thinking like the whole pack did about her, she left to keep us safe by giving herself up in a life that would only bring her pain to keep it away from us, I felt like my heart was torn out because we gave up on finding her.... I wanted to cry but I didn't in front of the kids.

The kids.... My gut was in a knot, clearly remembering what Cain planned with her and in front of me is only one teenager and two kids...... Twenty-five year passed and it takes nine months to have a baby and a year is twelve months...... That means there you have been up to thirty-three babies tried to be made despite her not want it to happen, them dying right away...... I will throw up if I continue to think about this.

"Liar," Quinn whispered.

"No I'm not, this here is her mark," I tapped my neck. "She turned my the day she left but I died for a while before CPR and that stuff brought me back, my name is Maxim and I am the alpha, Iris my wolf is a Deathless Spirit with Kark's and Harold's soul in her which let me see memories they had with her, I learned to use Harold's memory seeing on my own after she stopped teaching me to try to find her, Cain wanted to kill me because I have his brother's soul and am her mate." I listed things to prove to her that I wasn't dead like she thought alongside Alexis.... Oh if only I could tell you I was still here, living breathing....

"Liar!!" She yelled, standing up and zipping out of the house, I sighed, I can understand it's hard for her to understand, by searching through the twins and her memories I had learned much of their lives at that castle and stuff like that, I only got into Quinn's mind because her guard was down since normally I couldn't have since she does have Alexis' gift and also Cain's, the twins are too young to still 100% control them so it wasn't hard.

"Please go to sleep here okay? I'll go get your sister and you cookies if you are nice." The kids nodded as I walked out.

I covered my mouth when outside and a single tear rolled down my face as I took a deep breath, Alexis despite it all tried to be the best parent she could be, I could tell how much she cared for them.

I sighed again and wiped my face.

I was a bit relieved when I found Quinn again.

"Your mother liked this place too, I still come here when I need to think or really miss her." I said, standing behind her as she sat on the ground.... Sitting on the cliff Alexis always sat on.... Like mother like daughter huh?

"It's pretty." She whispered, I could tell from the shakiness of her voice that she had been crying, no need for her to face me to notice this, it must be a hard blow to learn something like that, trust me learning the truth on why Alexis decided to go with him and what their memories hid was also a heavy blow to me.

I just stood there watching the horizon with her in silence.... Like I once did with you Alexis....
