DEREK SAT ON THE MAKESHIFT BED IN ONE OF THE TRAIN CARTS AT THE ABANDONED TRAIN STATION. He was still adjusting to the new power of becoming an Alpha. Knowing he couldn't stay at the Hale house anymore, he decided to take shelter at the train station that'd been abandoned for years. He knew he would have to get back onto Haven's good side considering she was still very pissed that he bit Jackson.

He could handle her being temporarily mad at him. With just the right tricks and words, he had her wrapped around his finger like she had him wrapped. Even if she didn't wanna believe she was wrapped around his finger, she made a good effort with hiding it. But one thing Derek knew that she didn't was the fact they were bonded together.

He's known for quite a while but hasn't found the courage to tell her. Certainly he didn't want to scare her away but he desperately wanted her to know. Though this was something that was a lifetime commitment. They were bonded until death and nothing could ever change that. Just like how nothing could change his love for her. And he loved her before he knew for sure they were bonded.

"What?" Derek grumbled when his phone rang loudly due to Scott's incoming call, which interrupted the text he was typing to Haven.

"Haven's gone." Scott said in a nervous voice, clearly scared of Derek's reaction.

A bloody, vicious growl ripped from Derek's throat, "What the hell do you mean she's gone?"

"She ran away. Some of her stuff is missing but she left her phone here with a note. I don't know where she went." Scott explained to him, taking a deep breath to calm himself as he knew he would be dealing with the wrath of Derek Hale.

"I'm on my way, then I'll track her scent from your house." Ending the call, Derek squeezed the phone tightly in his hand as his breathing grew heavy. His wolf was clawing at him to hurry and search for Haven, not wanting to be too far from her. And to not lose her.

Tears flooded his eyes as his heart felt ripped from his chest. He pinched the bridge of his nose, dropping his head as he let out an inaudible sob. Things were finally at ease and perfect between them despite her being upset with him about biting Jackson. Other than that, they were in such a perfect state. And her running away, it killed him. To him, it was a wound like no other. He could already sense the void filling him.

"You promised me," He whispered in a pained cry.

His girl was gone, and he wasn't sure he would ever get her back.
