His second Chance (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

"When I sacrificed myself I met the moon goddess." His eyes widen and I smile. "She was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Anyway, after we went through tests of many kinds, she sent me to hell. Went through training there as well. More like torture actually..."

"Anyway after a year, they let me go. I came to visit you in your sleep and I knew why you were still alive. I technically wasn't dead. You just thought I was. So therefore the bond was still there, you just couldn't feel it. So I came here to start over. Hailey came with me and Valerie woke up from a coma. She couldn't remeber anything so I left it that way. To protect her."

"But she doesn't know about you or jess?" He asks. I shake my head.

"No. I only come out a few times. Like when she's asleep or just too tired to work." I explain."And jess is still active, she just thinks it's a voice inside her head."

"And Mason?" He growls. I shrug and he narrows his eyes at me. "Mason."

"We met in hell. He was my torturer." His eyes darken and I smile. "We ended up getting along. He was in my same situation, sort of. He was forced to do it. He hopes to find his mate soon but I THINK I know who it is."

"Why didn't you come home?" He whispers. I smile sadly and kiss his forehead.

"Because baby... As evil as I am... I put everyone around me in danger." He tilts his head. "I came here to stay away from you. To protect everyone." He opens his mouth. "Come."

"Where?" He sits up and I climb out of bed. I walk -more like limp- into the bathroom and wrap a towel around my body.  Bending down, I turn on hot bath water and add soap, making sure to close the drain. I walk out and look at him.

"Come have a bath with me." I request. He stands up and begins walking towards me. I step backwards and drop the towel. He comes in and looks at the mirror. I turn off the water and look at his back. "Shit."

"I'm fine Fila." He says. "It's just a few scratches."

"Yeah but I gave them to you. You're hurt." He shakes his head and grabs my hand.

"Get in the bath baby. I promise I'm okay..." I nod and step into the bathtub. I sit down and he copies my actions, sitting down across from me. He grabs my foot and begins rubbing it. I put my arms on the sides of the tub and study Alexander. He looks terrible... In a fucked up emotional way?

He has bags under his eyes that have turned into dark purple circles. He looks like he hasn't slept in months. I continue to study him as he kisses my foot.

"Are you okay?" I ask. He looks at me and smiles.

"Of course I am." I move my foot out of his grip and crawl onto him. The water spills out a little over the side as I straddle him. I look over his shoulder at his back and wince.

"That is not Okay." I reach out to touch it and He grabs my wrist. I growl in warning and he kisses it.

"I never said it was my love. I said I was Okay. Which I am." He cups my face. "So stop worrying so much."

"Fine." I sigh in defeat and look away. I feel him kiss my hair and I close my eyes. I wince as a major headache hits me from out of nowhere.

"Filia?" I look at Alexander, only he's slightly blurry. I can however, see the worry in his eyes. "Baby what's wrong?"

"Y-You have to go." I climb out the tub and loose my footing. Before I can catch the sink I fall with a huge thud. I hear Alexander curse loudly and I begin to see black dots cloud my vision. I blink rapidly, not letting the darkness take over me.

"Hold on baby." I feel myself get lifted off the ground as my head dangles off his arm. My legs sway as I hear him run. "Hold on."

I close my eyes not wanting to fight anymore. I'm tired of fighting. If I die for real this time, at least I know Alexander's safe. I fall into a deep consciousness hearing my mate scream my name.
