I nearly didn't have time to write this, but here it is, your new chapter, I hope you enjoy!!
Chapter 47
Forest's POV
She was gone.
She was gone.
She was gone.
My heart screamed out for her, my wolf begged for me to join her on the other side, but I promised her, I promised her I'd live on, I'd look after the pack.
I promised her I'd live for the both of us.
But it was hard.
Some days, it was all I could do to wake up in the mornings.
Some days, I was so overcome with grief I couldn't even get out of bed.
Some days, I just wanted to curl up and die, but them I'd remind myself about my promise, and I'd carry on.
Just.
The pack didn't know I had a mate.
They didn't know. They never would.
I had argued with my parent's at first. I wanted her to have a proper burial, one worthy of a member of the alpha family.
But they couldn't know.
The elders would have me killed.
They believed a wolf who lost his or her mate was unstable, a danger to the pack, and therefore needs to be killed, regardless on whether they actually are a danger or not.
If you've lost your mate, you're killed.
No exceptions.
I couldn't do that to my parents. Losing Aria had been bad enough.
The pack think I'm recovering from a particularly bad alpha bite. It isn't completely a lie, I was recovering from an alpha bite, but that was only for about a day, the rest of the time I've been wallowing in self pity.
Some of the pack did visit me for a bit, bringing get well soon cards and chocolate for 'the poor alpha's son who risked his life for the good of the pack', but they always said the same thing, "You need to find your mate Forest, when you find your mate she will help you heal quicker,"
At first I just answered with, "I don't want a mate," Which is kind of true, I want Aria back, but I can't, what I really mean is, I don't want a new mate, although no one knew I had a mate in the first place.
As soon as I said I don't want a mate, every single pack member decided to tell me about the joys of having a mate, about how she would be, "the single most perfect match for you, one you can cherish forever, stay with for eternity, she will be the only girl for you and you will do absolutely anything for her,"
I hated how true there words were.
Aria was the single most perfect match for me. She was, and always will be the only girl for me, and I would do anything for her.
They were also wrong. So very wrong.
Forever is what we were promised, but forever is not what we got.
I would trade my soul to get Aria back.
Without her, life just isn't worth living.
-----------
After a few more days I had to get up, staying in bed wasn't helping me keep my promise to Aria, and it was really boring, I couldn't morn her forever, I was tired of crying.
