[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death.

He couldn't endure another heartbreak.
"Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands."
Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind.
The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent.
And whose death he could never forget.
"It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor.
"I won't take that chance."
Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it."

Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime.
Or so everyone thought.
She was his second chance.
But her heart loved another.
Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart.

My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered.
And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate.
The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out.
"Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lexie is an Alpha's daughter. She faces a hard few days and thinks a night at the club will help her get through this. A few drinks won't hurt, right? At least that's what she thinks. Yet that night will change everything sooner than she would ever imagine.
When the next day, her pack gets attacked, everything is chaos. Her mother and father are killed and her world shatters. She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body.
Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now?
We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though. Real world isn't that easy...if you can call a world full of mystical creatures very real.
