Why changing yourself for the person you love is so difficult?
It's not about 'just accept me the way I am'.
It's about 'I can make myself completely different just to have you.'
So, stay by my side...

Anton:

I mind-linked Aurora, Mathew, Bernard, and Walter to approach me. I decided that it was time to discuss what our next move should be. 

Within seconds, they sat before me in the same hospital room that I sat in for more than an hour staring blankly at the walls clueless. 

"Before Anton does anything repulsive, I need to show y'all something," Bernard spoke up looking quite disgruntled. He then shut his eyes and reached out to each of our pack links. He then began to transmit a memory across to let us see it.

The vision rendered me speechless. I eyed my Gamma, my Beta, my Warrior, and my Sister fuming at me.

"Well, that was what she showed me before...Uhh,... before she 'left'," Bernard scratched the back of his neck as if trying to hide some detail before she 'left'.

"We had two powerful wolves of the pack standing guard and she still managed to leave. I am somewhat curious. How did that happen? Care to explain?" Aura questioned Bernard and Walter quizzically, looking very amused. I smirked.

Walter cleared his throat, "Um... Gabriella is my mate. I, uhh... " He stopped abruptly for a moment. I could see his cheeks turning red. "She umm... slapped me and knocked me out by clicking a nerve... She was strong, Okay!" He shrugged as if it seemed very obvious.

Aurora snickered, "At least, she's got you on a leash!" Walter glared at her and rubbed his face with his hands with a groan. 

We looked at Bernard for an explanation. He gulped and began stammering, "She um... showed me that vi- vision. I tried to convince her! She.... hugged me and then..." He scrunched his face. 

I narrowed my eyes at him. My wolf who promised to be a puppy sat up growling. When I find her, I will make sure she doesn't hug any other man apart from me. Great! Now, I sound like a caveman again. I don't see how this is my fault. It is a known fact that change isn't an easy task!

 But then, he had more to say. "Sh-She's got very strong knees...!! She damaged my jewels! I couldn't have st-stopped her after that! She played me!!" I sighed and shook my head as my strong and enormous second-in-command tried to justify his failure. Aurora snickered again.

"So, umm... what are you planning to do now, Alpha Anton?" Mathew spoke up for the first time. I could see that he was suspicious that my wolf would act up aggressively. 

"That depends on what Cass's story is, Mathew. What is her story? What is going on in the human world? And, please don't call me Alpha."

He gave a nod, "Hear me out, then. Her father died when she was just eleven. She got a step-dad quite early after his death. She endured six years of torture. He abused her mother a lot. This one fine day, she fought back, collected evidence, and handed him over to the Police. But then, he escaped. She was trapped and lured out by her classmate, Jason White who invited her for a trek. She was sedated and thrown off the cliff by Brian and his companions. I still don't understand how she survived four cliff drops, all while being unconscious. That was when I found her.
