This is really happening... I don't know what's messed up in that head of his but this is my chance to see everyone again! With this realization, I jumped for the key but only to be jolted back by chain. I hissed as it dug further into my skin. Stupid thing! I clenched onto the silver chain and tugged as my already charred hands became more disoriented. I felt it sinking into my skin but I didn't care. I let out a silent scream and pulled the chain above my head in desperation.

I grabbed the key and got up only to fall onto the cell wall. I look at my broken leg and then at the other incredibely injured. I gritted my teeth. This wasn't going to be easy. The sick man stood up and clapped. "I'm impressed!" He said with glee. "Those fiery eyes.. I like you." He pushed me to the bars of the cell and I clutched onto them to keep myself up and off the ground. "Now hurry up! We don't got all day!" He spat on me. "The fun part is only just getting started." He smirked as he twirled the knife in his hand.

I took his words seriously. I can't have him change his mind... and that means I'm going to have to put on quite a show to keep him entertained. I slipped my hand through the bars and stuck the key into it's hole, twisted it, and opened the door. I launched myself towards the wall and leaned all my weight onto it. I dragged myself accross it, leaving a trail of blood. 

Once we were out of the dungeon, I was greeted to the woods and a lot of rogues training. I immediately hid behind a tree in order to not be seen. Of course, the idiot who tortured me followed me without care as I stealthily shimmied my way accross the border of where the rogues were holding out. 

"This is boring..." He muttered with a blank face as my hands grasped onto the next tree. "I have an idea~" He kicked me in the back of my knees, and I launched forward with a whine. My body tumbled into the dirt, and I clutched the broken leg I fell on. "Oh no! Look! One of those filthy pack members got out of the cell!" He screamed out. Some gasped as they looked down at my beaten up frame sprawled accross the ground for everyone to see. Others got into a fighting stance and said, "DON'T MOVE!" 

I bit my lip in frustration. Dammit... What now?! A-Ayden...?  My wolf called out to me. Alec! Shift. You..can.. shift now.  He let out as many words as he could before he started to rest in my mind. Thank you, Alec. I know you're exhausted. 

All of the rogues started to approach, but I growled. No way in hell am I letting them catch me now. I have my wolf and mate to fight for. I immediately shifted into my brown wolf and shoved myself into one of the rogues sides, before sprinting my way out. 

All I can do is run. Run. Keep running! I yelled at my werewolf legs, knowing that the physical toll on my body was affecting my performance. I sloppily trudged my legs through the thick forest as I heard multiple werewolf paws hitting the forest floor. 

They were catching up to me fast. This caused me to jolt my head from side to side to find a way out. There! My eyes caught side of a pond. The pond should mask my strong scent. Too much blood was gushing out of me. I was leaving a trail that needed to disappear. I immediately jumped into the pond, shifting into my human form, and made my way around a big rock, clutching at my side. 

"Here! Over here! His scent stops at the river!" I heard multiple feet come to a stop. "Search the perimeter of the river! Don't let him escape!" I tried to calm my breathing as I struggled to keep myself up on the rock. My eyes caught sight of the man who tortured me in my cell and I froze. I looked at him desperate for him not to make a peep of my location. 

"Hey, Jamison! I think I might've found something." Suddenly the sound of a rogue came to my ears and this caused me to duck my head under the water. "Yeah, what?" I heard a muffled voice say. God, please don't say anything. Please! "..Hmm... must've been my immagination~" The sick man said and in return I heard a voice scoff. "Don't lead me on like that stupid!" I heard two pairs of feet leave. 

I desperately tried to surface as my lungs took in a gulp of water desperate for air. My legs weren't strong enough, and I couldn't shift anymore. I scratched onto the rock, wishing I could get ahold of the slimy substance, my fingernails bleeding as I made my way up it. Once I surfaced, I clutched onto the rock and coughed out a mixture of the pond and blood. 

I laid down on it gladly taking my moment of rest and looking up at the sky. I let out a smile that I hadn't let out in awhile. The breeze on my skin, the feeling of water, the sun beaming its rays down onto the land, the birds chirping... You begin to grow insane, when you're left without the familiarity of warmth and the small things you see and feel in life.

I felt a weight lift off of my shoulders but a big weight was still upon me. I need to make it back to my mate. With that though in mind, I worked up whatever energy I had left and made my way towards the shore. I tried to get up but in vain. My legs gave out. I guess I'm crawling the rest of the way..

Days passed and my wounds began to get infected from crawling through the dirt. My werewolf couldn't talk to me and my legs still wouldn't work. I was beginning to just want to give up. I was tired of living off my wolf instincts to hunt. Some days I couldn't even catch food. My body was giving up on me, before I was giving up mentally. 

I don't know how long I can carry on like this... As if on cue, my body gave out and my eyes closed much to my dismay. I'm going to die here.. I'm sorry.. for failing you all.. I'm sorry.. Drake, I hope you can be happy without me. My finger twitched but that's all I could move. I'm dying... 

"LUNA!" I heard a familiar voice scream and take me into his arms. Ahh I know that voice... Xavier. "Stay with me, Ayden!" He smack my face. "OPEN YOUR EYES! please...You wouldn't not want to see Hot Stuff's face again. Am I right..?" I let out a silent laugh and desperately tried to open my eyes. I smiled as I got to see him once again.

"There you go! Now just hang in there! I'm going to take you to the pack doctor." He shifts into his wolf and orders one of the pack member's on border patrol to but me on his back. The pack member on border patrol told me to clutch onto his fur as best as I could. I did as was told, and Xavier immediately picked up speed. 

He rushed us into the pack hospital and gave me to the doctors. I was put on a stretcher and into a room. "His heart rate is decreasing. Get the cardiac defibrillator just in case." I heard loud footsteps running through the halls and a melodic voice screaming my name. I tried to call his name. I tried to tell him where I was. I was scared. I needed him. The voice got closer as if answering to my calls.

"AYDEN!" He screamed as he saw me in the hospital bed as the pack doctors desperately worked to keep me alive. He fell to his knees and grabbed my hand. "Don't worry. It's going to be okay." Drake said as he clutched onto my hand. The look of desperation strewed right accross his face. I was never going to get enough of that look, desperation. "Alpha, I'm sorry but you need to get out of the room. We need to properly work to keep your mate alive." Drake growled with tears in his eyes. "YOU DO NOT ORDER ME. YOU HEAR ME?!" The pack doctor cowarded into himself. "Y-Yes, Sir." The doctor said.

I began to close my eyes feeling tired, but my mate gripped my hand tightly. "No, Ayden. Stay with me. You're stronger than this. You're supposed to stay with me and smile and laugh when Damion makes dirty jokes and blush when I give you compliments. You're supposed to stay with me forever and be happy by my side, remember?"

They put their hand on my cheek with heterochromia iridium eyes, one of them pitch black and the other ocean blue. You could hear the mixture of the two different people melding together into one voice. They were full on crying. I smiled and put all my strength into my hand, lifting it to place it on top of their own. I love you, Drake. I love you, Damion. I mind linked with them and felt my vision blurr. I lost consciousness as Drake and Damion desperately clutched my side, begging me to stay awake, to stay with him. He grasped my hand as it felt limp. His sobs filling my ears. 

I'm sorry... I love you.
