I felt darkness consume me as helplessness and frustration seemed to resonate within me until I would finally hear from Ebony. It was already late Saturday afternoon and I haven't received a text from her.

I had William watch her throughout the day again informing me that when she left this morning she went to her mother's house. I didn't feel as frustrated then since I knew it was important for her to see her family.

But when he informed me she later returned to her apartment this afternoon and I still didn't receive a text. I didn't want to text her first since she asked for space and I was trying to give that to her. But I wanted her to text me to tell me she wasn't still angry with me.

I felt helpless since I had told her everything that I have done bad in my life recently. I didn't know how to help her with the information since it seemed to just give her a head shattering migraine.

When she got sick yesterday I knew how to take care of her, with my wolf's help at telling me what she needed at that moment. But I felt at fault since I knew she was stressed because of me.

I hated the statement she uttered, I need space, because every fiber in my body tells me to be next to Ebony at all times. I just wished that Ebony felt those same feelings for me like I did for her. She will with time and especially after I mark her, but my fear of whether or not we even make it to that point in our relationship was heavy on my shoulders.

I prayed and hoped to the moon goddess that she helped our relationship if she had any ability to intervene. I just needed her to help Ebony guide her to the right decision to stay with me. If she didn't I will literally die, and I am not looking forward to that.

I stood inside of my home brooding as every worker around me bustled around setting up for the dinner party. I regret whole heartedly telling Josie she could have a party at my place, to try and keep the pack at bay with the transition of new alphas.

I also had a feeling that Ebony will not be attending tonight. I needed her tonight because she would have helped ease the transition with the pack but she wouldn't be here next to me.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and I reached for it quickly praying to the moon goddess it was my mate. I felt nervousness fill me as I opened my phone and saw she had in fact texted me finally.

"Hey R, sorry for the late text. I am feeling a lot better this afternoon. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday. I am sorry I won't be able to come to the party tonight since I made previous plans with a friend. I hope you enjoy yourself tonight and all goes well with the pack," she texted making my heart drop.

I felt my anger rise as I suddenly stood and exited the back door of my house. God dammit why couldn't she just cancel those plans and come to the party? I needed her there, did she not understand that?

I was a growling mess as I stomped my way into the forest. I didn't even bother taking off my clothes to prevent them from shedding as I jumped into the air and shifted midair. I fell to the ground on all four paws as I leapt forward at full speed running.

I needed to run off this anger before it consumed me entirely. The rational part of me, a very small part in the back of my mind, knew I should not be this upset about Ebony not attending. Since it was not her reasonability yet to take care of the pack, she hasn't even decided to take that role.

But it was disappointing since she knew I needed her tonight and she still canceled on me. I had been there for her when she had a migraine yesterday and she still did not feel the need to be by my side and help me through the night.
