Lady And The Tramp (Lauren/You)

Meeting Each Other Once More (Chapter 24)

A/N: Hey guys! Hope you all are doing well and I hope you enjoyed the last chapter! It's about 2 weeks till my exams start and I'm stressing the fuck out! But I'm gonna try and keep posting! Anyway, enough with the ramble. Enjoy!

Lauren's P.O.V
Her words seemed to be swirling inside my head. My heart aches as I reencountered those words.

'Be strong for me...'

I was trying so hard to be strong for her...but it was so hard. So here I was, in my room with my head buried in my pillows along with my self pity. It just hurt so much. To know that my mate was going to die.

Even the thought was painful enough but for it to become a reality was like a nightmare. And it was like none of my family cared that I was hurting.

Sure, my father had knocked on my door to say 'come eat' but other than that, it was nothing. Maybe that was because I was faced with the reality that my mate was a werewolf.

Why couldn't anybody see that I didn't care? That I didn't care about her species? If anything, we were the monsters.

The way (Y/N) spat venom towards my father was something that scared me and caused me to look at her in awe. She was true. We were the monsters that spread our hatred in the forms of lies.

And because of our lies, she is the price that I have to pay.

Yet another stray tear fell and another crack could be heard begin to form in my heart. Wiping my cheek, I sat up on my bed as my eyes gazed towards my door emotionally.

Suddenly, a knock was heard at my door along with a voice I certainly didn't want to hear.

"Lauren? Come on, you can't be still moping over that thing." The way that his voice held such disappointment just made my blood boil.

How dare HE, out of all people, talk about my mate like that.

"That 'thing' is my mate. Now leave me alone Brad."

"Ah come on Lauren. You ain't serious about her? She's our enemy."

"She's your enemy. You don't know anything about her neither do you know what she's been through."

"Lauren...you've been filled with her lies. That's part of her species' deception mechanism." This caused me to frown. He was just trying to get into my head but the next thing he said really pissed me off."

"She's probably not even your mate. I mean, we all know you're mine."

A hiss came out of my mouth involuntary as I began making my way to the door, opening it and pulled Brad in before slamming his back against the door once I shut it.

"You know nothing about what it feels to have a mate! She is my world and there would be no chance in hell that I would be your mate. God isn't that cruel." He obviously didn't like this as he began struggling against my grip.

"Now...I'm gonna let go of you and you're going to drag your scrawny ass back to wherever you came from. Got it?" I husked lowly, making sure my fangs were elongated and my eyes were a brooding colour of red.

Nodding his head, I let go of his arms and he did what I said almost instantly. I couldn't help but release a sigh that I didn't even know I was holding.

I need to get my mate, my baby, back.

Josh's P.O.V

When (Y/N) gave me her orders, I knew I had to do them immediately. I could tell due to the urgency she had laced with her words.

My legs were pumping; pumping to get to the destination that I so desperately needed to get to. There was a spark of excitement inside me when I remember what (Y/N) said.

Camila was alive!

I wonder if Sofia is alive to. Luna above, I hope she is. Sofia and I used to do everything together and I would truly be heartbroken if anything was to happen to her.

A small flicker of memories appeared in my head and if I was a wolf, my wolf would of whimpered as I reminisced in the memories that were beginning to appear.

Shaking my head slightly, I noticed that I was standing as a fairly high slope. I squinted slightly to look down and I couldn't help but smile at the sight. A sea of green coated the crater with what seemed hundreds, of not thousands of people.

Wolves!

Quickly, I began running down the path to reach the camp. I tried not to use my Vampire speed but I guess they smelt me before I could begin to run and I felt two strong pair of arms wrap themselves around me.

"What are you doing here leach!? How did you find this place?" I was trying my best to loosen the person's vice like grip on me. "Stop trying to struggle! You'll make your death a lot more painful." Their cynical voice caused chills to trail down my spine.

"Please! I need to find Camila!"

"Why would you need to find Camila Cabello? If anything, you just look like some lunch." A growl emitted from their chest.

"Please! It's (Y/N). She needs help! She's gonna be executed!" Once those words seemed to escape my lips, their grip around me loosened just enough for me to slip out and began running once more.

It wasn't long before I was overwhelmed by crowds of people, all snarling towards me. Man, if I had my wolf I would be whimpering at this point due to my fear.

Before anything could happen, there was a sight I was so happy to see.

"Josh?"

"Sofia?" Our eyes widened before we embraced each other in a tight embrace.

"Where have you been?"

"We don't have time for this Sofia. I need to find Camila. It's (Y/N)."

"What's with (Y/N)?" Our heads turned to see Camila. I was so happy to finally see my cousins once more but there was an important matter at hand.

"She's in danger. She's gonna be killed in less than a week."
