Errrmaagawd! I loved your comments and they made me want to update instantly!

Your comments were funny, oddly violent, brilliant, crazy, and awesome!

I can see some of the Varien Shippers got their hearts broken last chapter. Soooorrry.

But you crazy, sneaky, little readers like Valerie + Sebastian even though he got his ass kicked by Damien. lol.

Sebalerie Shippers were excited and hopeful for the future of these two. Some of you wanted their relationship to grow romantically and some wanted it to grow closer as a friendship.

All in good time.

So, Dustin found his mate. And her brother got beaten up by his sister's mate for being around his sister?!

Sounds about right.

I can tell family dinners miiight get awkward.

Some of you wanted this chapter to start in Damien's POV so he can realize what a jerk he's is/been towards Valerie.

YOUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!

Annnnnd heeeerrrreee's theees storyyy!

< PS. EXCUSE THE CUSSING >

~Damien~

I woke up to a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. It wasn't settling right with me.

I turned around and saw a female also laying in my bed. What did Valerie and I do last night? I looked down and sure enough, I was naked. I can't believe we mated and I don't even remember it!

I pulled her closer to me and she snuggled even closer. I was playing with her vibrant blonde hair in between my fingers.

Blonde.

It's a nice blonde color.

Valerie has nice... brown hair.

WAIT!

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

VALERIE HAS BROWN HAIR!

Shit!

So, if this isn't Valerie, then who's in my bed? What did I do?

I pushed her away and made sure she was still asleep before putting on some boxers and basketball shorts. I sprinted all the way to Valerie's room and knocked on the door.

"Valerie?"

No response. I knocked again. Harder.

"Val? We need to talk or mindlink"

Still no response.

"Valerie, i'm coming in if you don't respond to me!" I warned.

"You asked for it!"

I karate-kicked the door off the hinges and noticed the empty bedroom.

I saw Valerie's ball gown on the ground. I picked it up and smelled it. Her scent was hardly on there which means she hasn't worn it for a while.

I looked around the room for some clue that could tell me where Valerie was. I saw a folded pink paper on her bed. I picked it up and read it.

When I finished, I was swimming in my own pool of anger and guilt. Valerie left the pack. She left me.

I heard footsteps coming towards the room. A few moments later, Dustin and Jeremy poked their heads through the doorway.

"Do I even want to know why the door is broken?" Dustin smirked.

I couldn't lie to him. Not to her own brother. The more I kept this a secret the more Valerie could be in danger and I can't do that.

"Dude, what's with the pink paper? Writing love letters already?" Dustin asked.

"What's wrong?" Jeremy asked. Of course, my best friend would notice my uneasiness.

Dustin narrowed his eyes at me and looked me over. He walked up to me and grabbed the note.

"Dustin, I-"

He held his hand up in the air while he read the note. I knew from this moment on, it was going to be a bloody fight between Dustin & I.

When he finished the note, he crumbled it and threw it to the ground.

"You! You, sick, disgusting bastard!" Dustin spat. "You cheated on your own mate!"

Jeremy widened his eyes and looked at me. "Dame, what happened?"

"I don't know, okay?!"

"You are so fucking lucky that I love Val more than I hate you or i'd have your head disconnected from the rest of your body!" Dustin threatened before storming out.

I sighed and ran my hand through my messed up hair. "Call up a pack meeting with the best fighters and trackers. Also, get that she-wolf out of my bed" I ordered Jeremy before he scurried out of the room.

I let out a shaky breath before looking around Valerie's room once again, slowly taking in every little detail. What used to be a warm home seemed like a cold place without my mate. I walked up to her vanity mirror to see the necklace that I got her a couple weeks ago.

I picked it up and remembered the exact moment I gave it to her :

A couple weeks ago,

I walked through the door with the box right behind my back. This was going to make up for my absence. I walked in the kitchen to see my beautiful mate making food in the kitchen.

"Hey gorgeous, what are you making?" I asked before walking up to her and kissing her forehead.

'Well, i'm making you my famous-not-so-famous spagetti. Dustin used to drool at the thought of my spagetti, so don't tell him or he'll never leave' She explained while giggling.

I sighed in happiness. I could listen to her all day.

"I got you something" I smiled.

'Really? What is it? Can you tell me? I don't really like surprises. I mean- I like surprises, but not so much. Who even likes surprises? I guess it really depends on the person because usually impatient people don't like suprises. Not that i'm impatient! I just really don't like the idea of vulnerability that comes with the curiousity of not knowing the unknown, you know? I just think that-' She rambled. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at me before blushing.

'I'm rambling, aren't I? Dust says I do that a lot' She blushed before turning away.

I grabbed her chin and faced her to me. "Don't ever hide from me. I love it when you blush. It's cute" That made her blush even more which made me laugh.

"You know what else is cute?"

'What?'

"This beautiful necklace I got you" I revealed before showing her my family's necklace.

It has been passed down for centuries and my mother passed it down to me this morning. I just had to give it to Valerie instantly. It's a sapphire gem surrounded by rubies on a gold chain. It's absolutely breath-taking.

'Damien, this looks like it costs a lot-'

"Nonsense, it actually costed me nothing. It's a family heirloom. It's been passed down in my family for centuries and now it has the honor of being yours" I explained.

She sighed before looking up at me. 'You're amazing, you know that?'

'That's what I think when I look at you, Valerie' I genuinely smiled at my mate. She smiled back and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her. If I could hold her forever in my arms, I would.

Why did I ever go and make that mistake? If something happened to Valerie, I will never forgive myself. Ever.

~Valerie~

I woke up in wolf form under a tree. My whole body was sore from constant running, but I couldn't go back.

By the sun, I could tell it was around noon. I, lazily, got up and streched my sore muscles. I needed this. This sense of control and freedom soothed me. I felt better about myself and I almost forgot about him.

Key word : almost.

What kind of mate cheats on another? That's basically defying fate! That's uncalled for!

I huffed in anger and ran again. Faster. Harder. Anything to release my anger towards everything.

>>>>>>>

I have been running for hours now. That sun had set a while ago, yet I still ran.

Suddenly, I heard a twig snap to my right. I halted and listened for any noise. When I heard a twig snap to my left, I booked it and ran harder. I didn't want to stay to know what was around me. I heard heavy footfalls follow after me, which motivated me to run faster.

Next thing I knew, I was on the dirty forest floor. A giant all-black wolf was snarling at me. He growled at me which made me whimpered. He huffed and clawed my stomach, which instantly started to pool my blood. He laughed at my pain and raised his paw to strike at my face when he was knocked off of me by a big brown wolf. The brown wolf instantly killed the black wolf and growled at him, even though he was dead by then.

He looked at me and slowly approached me. Not as a predator, more like he was nervous to approach me. He shifted to a human and quickly put on shorts.

I looked at him. He had a tall, slim figure with nice brown hair. His captivating hazel eyes are what got me. They held so much emotion, I couldn't look away.

"I'm Richard, but don't call me that. No one does. I go by Ricky" He introduced.

I nodded my head. He noticed my bloody stomach.

"You're hurt. Follow me, we'll take care of you, little one" He suggested.

He started to walk away and I found myself following him. He looked back and saw that I was following him. He smiled for a second before turning back and leading on.
