The feeling of hands detaching me from Kaiden jerk me back to reality. My eyes glare into Jamie’s as he pries my paws off Kaiden’s face. “He’s dead, Scar. Come on, let him go and Patricia will take him. I’m so sorry honey.” He pulls me into his embrace and I cry openly in his arms. 

“I’m having his baby. What am I supposed to do?” I whisper, choking on a sob. 

“Live your life. You have a part of him inside you. Just remember that.” He murmurs in reassurance. 

A savage roar breaks the silence and my head whips towards the sound to find Cade his eyes pitch black as he finally lifts his head from the dead rogue he’d literally ripped to pieces. Oh God. The curse. So lost in my distraught I’d forgotten for a few minutes. 

I watched in horror as he runs wild towards pack members his intent on killing clear to see. I had to stop this before someone else I loved died. 

Not thinking about the consequences I sprint in wolf form towards Cade darting in between him and another female, leaving about 20 metres in between us, enough time to try and calm him down. 

Shifting back into human form, knowing full well I’d be completely naked, but also aware that I wouldn't be able to talk to him while shifted I begin, “Cade, Cade! Look at me. It’s me. Scarlett. Please calm down.” 

Cade comes to a quick halt in front of me, but the look of danger is still in his eyes and I proceed, staring into his eyes hoping to see the real him behind the dilated pupils. 

“Come on, Cade. This is not you and you know it. You can beat it. I know you can. You want to know why? Because I believe in you. You hear me? I believe. In. You.”

I watch as Cade struggles internally to fight the curse his eyes wild slowly beginning to dim before he collapses onto the ground in a heap. 

Falling to the ground with him I pull his head into my lap, accepting the long tee Jamie hands me that I slip on over my naked flesh. Brushing the hair off of his face I murmur sweet words to him as he slowly regains consciousness. “You’re okay. I’m here. Everything’s going to be okay.” Even though I didn't exactly believe my own words I knew it was true. Everything would be okay. Maybe not in a few hours or even months, but eventually. 

I take in a sharp breath when I notice Cade’s eyes flicker open. “Letti?”

“I’m here Cay, you saved me, I’m here.” Using his nickname I reassure him. 

“Don’t leave me. I know I’m a monster, but please don't leave me.” I nearly burst into a new set of tears as I notice the vulnerability in his eyes. 

“You’re not a monster. You’re you. Caring, Compassionate, but not a monster. Never a monster.” I kiss his forehead and take him into my arms, knowing it was exactly what he needed right now.
