*********************************************************************************************

I sat in that same spot for hours, doing nothing but crying. Sam... My Sam. He couldn't have died! He was the only family that I had. Aside from Victor and Alvin, he was like my father. He might as well been, he was sure as hell treated me better than my real father did. Then, to add salt to my wound, it began to rain. I didn't care, I just sat there. Soaking wet, crying and now feeling lost. The one person that meant the galaxy to me was dead. And the fucked up part about it was that he died on my birthday... A year after I left.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my back. I looked up at Dylan. He looked so much like his father it hurt. "Dylan." I began to weep. Then, he embraced me, and I let him. I need so much support and comfort right now I'd take it from a fly if it offers. "I miss him so much." I sobbed.

He rubbed my back as I cried. "I know. I miss him too." I felt Dylan hold onto me tighter, pulling me closer to him. I stopped crying and pulled away from him.

"I have to go," I said as I walked towards the Forrest. Remembering a shortcut to get to the pack house. I felt Dylan grab my hand, spinning me around, so I was now facing him. 

"Why are you doing this?" He shouted. He couldn't be that stupid. How could he possibly ask me something like that? 

"Why do you think? I just fucking found out that-"

"Not that. Why do you keep walking away from me?" He asked. I watched as rain poured down his handsome face. His dark blond hair sticking to his face.

"Why does it matter?" I asked softly.

That seemed to anger him. "Why does it matter? It matters because you're my mate!" Now it was my turn to be pissed off. He didn't have a right in the world to talk to me this way and yet here he is sitting in my face talking to me crazy!

"I wasn't your mate two years ago! Remember? What you said to me that day killed me! You rejected me. For what? That bitch that's your Luna?" I shouted at him. He looked at me with sorrow in his eyes. Something I've never since from him before. "All my life, I've taken the abuse and shit this pack has thrown at me, but that day..." I started crying again. Through my sobs, I continued, "That day when you said what you said to me... I couldn't take it. Not only did you reject me, but you also embarrassed me in front of the whole pack!" Suddenly, I was in his arms again. He held me tight, being with him felt so right. Though, it wasn't him I wanted to be embraced by.

"I'm so sorry. For everything, for what I ever did to you, for what I ever said to you... I'm sorry."

I looked up at him, into those beautiful brown eyes of his. He looked back at me, I watched him as he leaned towards me. I felt his warm lip brush against mine. Then, he was kissing me. I felt... I felt... like I was flying with the clouds. He pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. Then, I realized something. I was kissing him back. At the realization of my action, I tried to pull away. Not really being successful. Damn, you'd think being a warrior would give you an advantage, but it only seemed useless at times for me. His then squeezed my ass, I gasped, accidentally giving him entrance to my mouth. Which he took without hesitation. Thrusting his tongue into my mouth, he shows my mercy.

I tried pushing him back, but he only tightened his grip on me. I broke the kiss after what seemed like forever, just causing him to growl in response. I was breathing hard and out of breath. "Dylan, you need to stop."

"From what was happening I wasn't the only one doing something." He grinned.

"Ugh! Shut up! I didn't ask you to kiss me!"

"No, but you didn't complain when it happened either." Oh my goodness, he was so annoying! Wait... Something wasn't right here. Aw shit, I had that feeling again. It wasn't a good feeling I got, I hated this feeling. I turned around and confirmed that feeling. What I saw would determine whether I live or die. I saw a Hunter.

The Hunter stood tall and ready, taking aim with its sniper rifle. It was a dangerous weapon, but a stupid one to use one a well-trained werewolf.

"Dylan, do you see it?" I grabbed his hand. He put me behind him.

"Yes, I see him." He responded.

"Dylan, let me handle it. You feel through the pack bond and tell me if there's anymore near."

"No! I'll fight, you go and get help." He ordered. It was hard to disobey an Alphas order, but that's the thing. Dylan wasn't my Alpha. Victor was. Suddenly, Dylan doubled over, clenching his stomach, groaning in pain. That damn bastard shoot him! I went into one hundred percent wolf mode. The world slows down, I ran as fast as I could to that hunter. It was a good 100 yards away from us. I made it to him in a matter of seconds. Snapping his neck when I got to him. Killing him instantly.

I heard Dylan groan. I ran over to him. "Are you okay? Where were you shoot?" He sat up.

"In my stomach. I'm fine though."

"Let me get the bullet out," I said.

"What?" He asked incredulously.

"Let me get the bullet out." I didn't even let him respond before I reached into the hole in his torso and yanked the bullet out. He cried out in pain. "You scream like a bitch." I giggled.

"What? No, I don't!" He shouted.

"Yes, you do. I would be surprised if Victor heard you all the way from the guest house." I laughed at that thought. I imagined Victor sitting down reading a book, and then he jumps at the sound of girly ass scream.

Dylan sighed. "I don't understand. What does he give to you that I can't?"

The answer came quickly. "Love. He gave me... No, he gives me love."

"But that doesn't mean that I'll never give it to you." He responded.

"He gives me a different type of love... A love that I don't think you'll ever give me. He loved me when you didn't. Hell, he loved me when I didn't! He loved me enough to teach me to love myself before anyone else can. And that's why I love him."

Dylan stared at me, sadness in his eyes. He looked away and got up. His wound completely healed. We were both silent as we walked to the pack house. Once we were there, no one was in the pack.

"It's usually empty at this time. It's only 3:30. People hang out before they stop by here." He explained. "Hey, you want a sandwich or something...?"

I nodded. Man, I was hungry. And I didn't even know how hungry I was until he offered me food.

After Dylan made us some sandwiches, he said he was going to change his clothes and left. "You should change yours too." He said before he left. As soon as he left Victor came through the door. Looking sexy and... Pissed off. There was another feeling in his eyes as well... Hurt? What had happened? He came over to me, looking down at me, he handed me a something.

"Explain this." He said. I looked down and saw a photo. Of me... and Dylan... In the rain... kissing. I looked up at him, I had nearly burst into tears when I saw a tear fall from his eyes. "Please, don't lie to me, Cassie. Just tell me."

The feeling of hurt and sorrow came off of Victor. The man that I loved. And for the second time today I had my heart breaking into a million pieces. But I'd rather for my heart to be broken than his.

*******************************************************************************************

Alrighty! Not my best, but it's something! Should Cassie tell him the truth? If so, why? And what did you think about that Hunter? Cassie whipped his ass! And snapped his neck! Haha! And should she forgive Dylan...? I have a little surprise coming! Better stay with me because if you don't, you'll miss it! :) LOL.
