When I wake up I felt sparks on my cheek but as soon as I open my eyes nobody was there. I call out for Aaron but then sigh. "I must of dreamed of him." I say. I sit there for a second. Caiden made me black out! That little bitch!!!! I'll get him back for that! Once I stand up I take off my pajamas and stare at my body. I had so many scratches and a long bandage wrapped around my stomach. I flash back to a few days ago. How that huge wolf had me in its powerful jaws and could of simply killed me right then and there but he didn't. He said he was going to make Aaron pay for what he'd done. What did Aaron do that could force a wolf into killing him and me like that!? When Aaron and that wolf were fighting it suddenly scampered away like someone had told it to leave. I guess through mind link someone told him that they should leave. I wonder who that wolf was? Wait it was a red wolf! Just like the one that killed Aaron's parents!!! Oh I'm so stupid. I probably made Aaron feel even worse by breaking his heart. Hot tears were now streaming down my face. I am such an idiot. Wait Caiden said Aaron was dying last night!!! I have to apologize to Aaron! I have to tell him that I'm sorry about being so harsh and that I was scared and I didn't know what to do! But I can't be with him, I still might hurt him more! Ugh what do I do!!!??? "Reyna get down here!!" I hear my mother shout. I sigh and put on some skinny jeans and a black shirt. I try to brush my hair but after awhile of battling my knotted hair I give up and head down stairs. "What!?" I ask. My mom points to the door from her perch on the couch. I roll my eyes and walk over to the door. If it's Aaron... I don't know what I'll do... I just can't face him after what I've done to him! He probably resents me now! I open the door and sure enough there, standing so ill looking and sad, is Aaron. I almost break down sobbing. He looked thinner than usual, not hugely noticeable but still slightly thinner. But since it's been only one day since I've seen him you can't really get that thin from not eating I mean I sure the heck didn't. Still he looks so much thinner than usual. Maybe it's just my eyes. His face was full of sorrow and depression and he had dark black rings around his eyes. "Reyna!" He says meekly. "Aaron?" I say. He stares at me and I stare at him. Is this what Caiden meant by Aaron dying?! Everything that I did to hurt him came rushing into my thoughts. Mentally smacking me in the face. "Aaron! I am so sorry, I'm an idiot and I caused you so much pain and I know it's not your fault but I just I feel useless and like I'm a burden to you and that-" I'm suddenly cut off as Aaron kisses me. I stand there shocked. H-he already forgave me? But how!? I was so rude and horrible!! I start sobbing and pull away. I cling to Aaron like a lost puppy. "I-I'm sooo sorry!!" I wail. He holds me, really tight, to him and strokes my hair. I sob into his chest. "Reyna it's okay. I forgive you. I love you Reyna, I always will." He declares. I tighten my grip on him. "So, you two see each a few days after a huge fight and your already kissing and making up!? Dang me and your father never were like that. Then again I'm not his real mate." Mom said. She shrugged and then walked into the kitchen. Before she was totally in the kitchen she invited Aaron to stay for the day if he'd like. He, of course, agreed and I was instantly tugging at him to come up to my room. Once I got him upstairs I plopped down on the bed and pulled him with me. We laid there, side by side, staring at each other. "Aaron do you really forgive me?" I ask. He smiles. "I really do. Reyna, I love you. You are not a burden if anything you are the sunshine that brightens my day and you make me the happiest man on earth. I'm so grateful to have a wonderful mate like you." He says. I smile and cuddle up to him. He wraps his arms around me and I lay my head on his chest. Our legs intertwined with one another's and he slowly stroked my hair. "I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to reject being Luna, I... I just got scared... anyways...." I say. I could hear Aaron smile and I smiled too but then it vanished. "I figured it out, that red wolf who attacked me, he was that wolf that killed your parents. I'm sorry about that." I say. Aaron stays quiet. "That's why I had you stay home so much, I always figured that if he was going to attack again it'd be at the pack house. I'm sorry I left you alone." He said. I look up at him. "It's not your fault. You had your pack to take care of. I hold nothing against you, so don't blame yourself!" I say. He smiles down at me and we kiss. I smile and soon I fall asleep on him.
