~I love you, that means I'm not just here for the pretty parts and happy days. I'm here for the rough times and bad days. I'm here no matter what.~

Daniel

"Daniel" she screamed for me. I could see her reaching for me as the pain poured down on us, blocking me from reaching her fast enough.

"No!" I yelled as I pushed against the hidden force pulling me away from her.

I watched as the slimy hand wrapped around her throat, an evil laugh fillled the empty forest as her fear etched into my memory. She opened her soft lips as if to tell me she loved me one last time, but I never heard the sweet music escape in the words I needed to hear as his claws dug into her neck.

In one swift movement, the beast yanked his claws across her throat, taking her from me forever.

The force pulling me back gave away as I raced to catch her before she his the forest floor. I turned her over to face me as her blood soaked into the soil. Her skin felt as soft as the day I first found her. Her once blonde hair was stained from the black liquid seeping from her wound. Her once beautifully full green eyes were devoid of life.

Mate was gone, forever taken from me.

I held her in my arms, weeping for her to return to me. Finally I laid her down, anger to the one who took her filled my body as my wolf howled for his fallen mate.

That's when I felt it. Sparks erupted in my arm, but not ones of love. As if my life was being drained from my soul, darkness stead to my heart as I watched my dead mate lift her head from the ground.

She stared at me, devoid of all emotion and love. "Why?"

"What?" I asked the now living corpse.

"Why did you let me die?" Her voice monotone from all emotion.

"No"

"Why am I dead Daniel?" Her nails grew into my skin, spilling my blood onto the ground. The only thing I could focus on was her face as it morphed into anger over my failure. "Why did I die, Daniel? Why did you kill me?"

"I didn't-, I tried-"

"It's all your fault"

"No!" I yelled.

"It's all your fault I'm dead."

"No!" I screamed, jerking out of my nightmare.

I felt my pounding heart as I looked around my office. I slowly peeled my eyes to the clock sitting in front of me. It was almost 3 in the morning. I must have fallen asleep at my desk when I was working on the treaty with two opposing alphas who were fighting over land.

Knocks pounded against the oak door to my office. I rubbed my hands over my face in frustration. I have been having nightmares over the loss of my mate for years now. I tried to erase the memory as my hoarse voice spoke to the person waiting for me to allow them in. "Enter "

The doorknob slowly turned as my beta pushed into the room. He lowered his head slightly in respect. "Alpha"

"What is it Corbyn?" I asked him.

Cornyn had been my best friend since we were children. He has known me for years and he was there when I lost my mate. He had supported me in my search for her, but we never found her. Eventually, he dragged me back to the pack, but I never stopped looking, even if everyone fought she was dead. I will always refuse to believe it until I see her for myself.

"Are you alright, Daniel?" He asked.

"I'm fine" I responded automatically. After so many asking the same question, I had become accustom to the same lid I told them and myself.

He slowly nodded his head in understanding before giving me a look of sadness. " I heard you call out her name again" he said.

"I'm fine, Corbyn" I told him again.

"I know," he said. "But it's okay not to be" he paused for a second, in an attempt for his words to sink in. I knew he was just trying to look out for me, but nothing he said could get me to crack and spill everything.

When I lost my mate, I lost all hope of life itself. I became feared by all who crossed me. I burned packs into nothing and killed all those who stood against me or my pack. I became cruel, a loveless beast.

"What did you dream this time?" He asked me softly.

I took a deep breath before answering him honestly. "She died in my arms. Then she came back and asked why I killed her"

"You didn't kill her" he said definitively. I looked up to him. He was the only one who refused to believe she was dead. Be was the only one who urged me to keep hoping for her return. He was the only one who still saw the man I was, instead of the cruel alpha I had become. "She isn't dead"

"I-" I went to answer him when I was cut off by a message sent in the pack mind link.

Alpha. One of them said.

What is it? I questioned him, standing in case I needed to move quickly.

Rogues are getting close to the border.

I let out a snarl as my wolf became angry at the thought of another rogue coming onto out lands.

Have the crossed yet? I asked. As Corbyn listened in the conversation.

No. They appear to be chasing another wolf. She seems set on crossing the border.

I looked at Corbyn and quickly ordered. "Go. Kill any rogue that crosses into our territory."

"Yes alpha" he quickly said before heading out the door.
