Sweet Sacrifices

Run

The warm wind was blowing past me. My lungs were ready to burst. I could hear foot steps behind me. O no! See at this point of my life, I never imagined I would be in this kind of situation. Im running from a complete idiot .

"Elie!!!!!!"The idot screamed behind me.

The next thing I know I was rammed to the ground.

"uhhhhh" Why me?

I landed facing the grass. I twist and turn to get away but he is too fast and hold my hands behind my head. I was trying to kick him off me.

"Elie, please dont be like this. Your acting like a child. " He said with a irritated grin.

I look him straight in the eyes. How does he expect me to just let him go? To start new without him. I took a deep breathe . Smelling his scent was the best thing past time for me . I was getting too close to comfort.

"You dont get it Seth. I need to be alone right now. Its alot to take in all at once."I said

He lets go of me and we both sit up. I put my head on his shoulder. Im going to miss him. But there is nothing I could do. I felt tears trying to reach my eyes but I bit the inside of my cheek so I can stop this dumb emotion.

"It was bound to happen right? We both got caught up in a fantasy. I shouldnt . ... . I shouldnt have lead you on. "He said looking everywhere but me. I interrupted. "Seth" I looked at the sun bearly setting " I knew this was. . . False hope. I will learn to live with this. Your an Alpha..and I know you more than those around you. You need to mate that girl to unite the packs and save our kind . I dont blame you. "

I felt my heart crack. I didn't want this conversation to happen . To start . To end . Thats why I ran, as soon as the pack meeting was over. I needed to be alone.

"You will always have a part of me. You know that. " He turned to look at me. "This arrangement is a sacrifice. I am willing to take for the whole pack. Its something I can not change. We might not be mates but you will always mean alot to me. "

I stayed stuck on what he said. In a month he will mate with the new luna. The packs will reunite. Our pack, the Dark Shadow pack will become one with the Grey Moon Pack. And life will go on. What about me? Seth and I have been together since we were both Seniors in high school. Seeing him with someone else. Its going to be . . . . different. I shuddered.

I stood up and so did he. I was about to turn away towards the lake.He grabbed my face and kissed me softly. A goodbye kiss. I didnt want it to end. "Ill always love you Seth" I whispered softly into his chest. I didnt think he heard me until I heard him say "Elie. . . .I'll always love you too. " We both let go. And went our separate ways. I didnt turn back. I have to let him go. I ran to the deck and took my clothes off . I dove in the water. I swam. And swam until I couldnt hold my breathe.

Life can never be simple.
