Payback Hurts- Chapter 13: Just Throw it Away

Hey! I want to say thank you to all the people who voted and commented on the last chapter and the ones before that! Also, some people have been baffled. I want to make it clear that both Alvin and Victor are JeJe's mates!

Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Hint: Big surprise at the End!!!

*************************************************************************************

I can't believe that I just lied to her. My best friend, Je'anna. But I had to, how would she have acted if I told her that Victor and I were in a relationship? And we slept together? And to think that she's been searching for her mate all this time...

I shook my head. I need to go. I got up, leaving Sam's grave and headed back to the pack house. I took the shortcut, the one through the woods, looking around at the beauty of this place. I smiled, my whole childhood flashing through my eyes in these woods. Playing hide and seek and tag with my cousins and family and friends... Well, before they abandoned me.

"Hello, young one." I looked up at the person who was talking to me. It's was Crazy Jenny. Crazy Jenny was the pack's elder, the oldest werewolf in our pack, rumors for years said she was crazy and could tell your future. She was weird. She was standing next to an oak tree, the sunshine hitting her face.

"Hello, Elder," I said respectfully. Oh and when I said she was the oldest member of this ack, she was. The look and everything. White hair that touched the floor and aged skin, white and transparent.

"There's something on your mind, would you like to share it with me?" She asked. I must have looked like I had a lot on my mind. Would it hurt to tell her? It's not like I'll ever see her again. I mentally shrugged and gave in.

"I lied to my best friend who is going to hate me." She nodded, understanding.

"And would you like to tell me why?" She asked. I look at her in the eyes, suddenly feeling compelled to release to her.

"She has something that I want."

"And what is that?" Part of me felt as if she already knew.

"Victor."

"That's not all is it?" I felt tears come to my eyes; I looked away from her.

"She has both Alvin and Victor, and I have no one..." I suddenly felt her hand gripping my arm. I looked up at her, shocked.

"Listen to me; she must choose," I tried to take my arm back, but for an old lady she was pretty strong. I could fight her off, that would be doing too much and way out of line on my part for beating the living shit out of an old lady. "She cannot have the both of them." I shook my head; she's losing it.

"What are you talking about?"

"The girl, she cannot have the both of them. She cannot live and have them both."

"What do you mean she can't live with the both of them?"

"She will die if she doesn't choose and once she is dead two men will be without a mate. They will turn Rouge and kill or be killed unless they are taken by one who doesn't have a mate."

This was starting not to make sense. "Everyone has a mate."

"Not unless both mates do not want each other, but even that is unlikely." So there was still a chance that I could be with Victor again? Could it be happening? "Though, if the person that excepts the mate less one without her mate rejection or permission the bond will not work and things will happen the way they are not supposed to."

"And what will happen if the person accepts the mate less one," I took in a deep breath. "Along with her mate?"

"Then they will all be mates."

"Can't the two men just accept each other and share their mate?"

She looked into my eyes, holding so much sadness and grief. She slowly shook her head. At that moment I wanted to fall to my knees and cry like a baby, but I stayed strong and held her sad gaze.

"You have a very bright future ahead of you, young one, no matter what... Don't just throw it away." And seemed as soon as I blinked she was gone.

Wow, for an old lady she can move pretty fast.

I continued my walk back to the pack house. What am I going to do? Jenny had just told me that there was a way that I could be with Victor again. Well, in her crazy way. Though, there were so many things that would happen. Je would be with Alvin, and I had been with Victor, but what about Dylan? No matter how much he had hurt me, he is my mate, and deep down I know that I still have feelings for him. I know it was wrong... He rejected me, but no matter what I still know he's my mate and I know I can't hide from him forever.

"Cassie?" I turned around, looking at Dylan.

"Yeah?" It took a lot for me to speak around him. With me losing Victor my world seemed not to matter, but Dylan... Something inside of me seems to make it better. Maybe it's just the whole he's my mate thing.

"I hear, and I'm sorry." He heard about Victor and me, and he's apologizing? Shouldn't he be jumping in the air screaming with joy? He shook his head. "I would never do that. I know how much he meant to you, I know that you love him and even though it breaks my heart I still want you to be happy."

I felt tears coming to my eyes. I seemed to want to cry a lot lately. I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"There's just one thing that I want to tell you," He was now in front of me, holding me by the hands. I didn't pull away, part of me didn't want to. He was giving me some comfort, and I needed it, even if it was just him holding my hands. "Even though I've said this a million times, I still want to say it a million more," He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "I love you, and I mean it with everything inside of me," I saw tears spill over and down his cheeks, I so badly wanted to whip them away, but he had my hands in a tight grip. "And no matter how many times I say that I'm sorry, I know you can never forgive me for what I did to you, but I want you to promise me something." That was when he opened his eyes again.

"What do you want me to promise you?"

"I want you to promise me that you will never forget me, that you will never forget that I was your mate."

Why was he saying this? Why was he talking like as if he was going to die tomorrow or something? "Why are you saying this?" I gripped his hands tighter; I wanted to know.

"Because," He pulled me closer to him, "The war starts tomorrow."
