CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Don's POV

   

It is Thursday; that means we have to fight. I still don't understand why my dad will let me mark somebody who betrayed us. I don't even think he knows about all this.

I pack extra clothes to change into after the fight. It is the first time I am actually scared to fight. For the first time, I am scared of dying in a fight. I have something to live for now. Nala.

I pick my phone to call her.

"Nala, how are you doing?" I ask.

"I'm fine, Don."

She sounds like she has something else to say, but she didn't say anything. I become really worried.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"It's just.....nothing. Nothing, Don."

I know something is definitely wrong, this aggravates my worry.

"Today is the fight, Nala," I say.

"Please come back," she replies.

I am, Nala, even without you asking me to. I won't die in this. I will come back to you.

I can't say all that to her. Not now.

"I will, Nala, see you soon," I say, as I end the call.

I have to do everything real quick so I can go back to Nala and find out what is wrong.

I go to Vivian, Carson's mate. He knows so much more about treating a lady than I do. Actually, I don't think this is right. I also once had a mate, but she died two years after we met, and she was marked.

Her death really affects me up till now. I can't treat Nala like I treated her. They are two different people. Natasha was a Lycan, and we always wanted the same thing, but Nala is so different.

Okay, this is wrong, I shouldn't compare them. I just wish I don't have doubts about loving the second time. This is exactly why I am so scared of losing her.

"It's time, Don," Vivian mind-links us.

"Don't forget, we try to talk first and if they don't listen, we attack," I mind-link them.

"Don't you think talking is stupid? Why can't we just fight and end all this?" Carson mind-links.

"We should talk first. It helps more than you think," I say as soon as we all gather.

"Let's do this," Julian says, and we all nod.

............................................................................

We all gather, facing Kimberly and her pack members.

"Why did you betray me?" I ask Kimberly.
