"Monsters are Real, Ghost are real too. They live inside of us. And sometimes they win- Stephen King"
{Alpha Cain Pierce's Point of View}
It was nightfall and my stupid ass just let her walk away. Those woods are dangerous at night and she is all alone. Way to fucking goes Cain. I grumbled to myself as I searched around for Ashton and Issac. I needed to go into those woods and get her before she gets injured or worse. I finally found them and told them to follow me without saying where we were going.
Neither of them knew what had happened between me and Aislinn. I couldn't let them know how I hurt my mate and now she is on the run to get away from me. Sadly trying to keep that a secret from my two best friends is gonna be rather challenging since they knew when I was lying. Ashton looked at me with a raised brow as he said "dude we can hear your thoughts. What happened between you and Aislinn?" I gulped and took a shaky breath. I wasn't just standing next to my beta and delta oh no I was also standing next to my father, Elder William and Elder Jacob as well. I looked at them all and took another shaky breath before explaining what had happened. "I and Aislinn got into an argument last night after she said somethings about our kind and how we are heartless and cold monsters whose only pleasures out of life are hurting girls and breaking apart families. I snapped and grabbed her wrist a bit too tight leaving bruises. She smacked me causing Kilo to partially take over and I went to pull her from the room. She started fighting me and I let her go. She fell back and hit her head on the island.."
All of their faces told me exactly what they were thinking. None of them were happy with me. After the tense silence, my father broke the silence by saying "and where is miss wilds now?" I was put on the spot and knew exactly what they were all about to say. I cleared the lump that was stuck in the back of my throat and said "she um, she kinda left after I tried to comfort her and she snapped on me"
Issac scoffed and said "well can you blame the girl. The one person suppose to protect her caused her to bleed. If I was her I would have done the same damn thing. Cain you really fucked up." I growled lowly giving Issac a warning to tread very cautiously. He looked down at the ground as I said "I realized that thank you so damn very much. I need to fucking find her. If you all want to stand here with your dicks in your hands so fucking be it. But I'm going to find my mate with or without your fucking help." With that, I turned on my heel and stormed away.
I shredded my clothes and phased to Kilo taking off running into the woods following her scent. I could hear the sound of 5 different sets of paws hitting the forest floor behind me. I looked and saw my father, elder William, elder Jacob, Issac, and Ashton following my lead. I took off running faster wanting to find my mate. My only thoughts were of her and her safety. I soon picked up the scent of blood... Her blood.
My mate was hurt and bleeding. Worry and panic started to set in and I became frantic to find her. I ran faster until I saw a small faint glow of light off in the distance. I ran towards it and it was a fire that had burned out and there laid under the oak tree was my mate. She was covered in dirt. Her hair was all matted with leaves and sticks. My eyes traveled down her body until they landed on her side. Her shirt had been torn and the edges were stained bloody. I whimpered as I walked towards her sleeping body. She must have fallen and got caught is what I'm hoping for. I phase out of Kilo's form and picked her up into my arms. My father walked over to me and motioned for me to get on his back.
I got onto his back without dropping Aislinn and we began our trackback to the castle. I held her tight against my body keeping pressure on the still bleeding wound. Did she not put pressure on the wound or did she fall unconscious? I could still feel her heartbeat and soft breath against my bare chest. My warmth radiating off of me and keeping her warm as my father picked up speed once I mind linked to him that she was still bleeding. Ashton had gone ahead of us once we noticed the scent of blood to get the healer ready for whatever condition she was in.
My only hope is she stays in a stable condition and doesn't get worse before we get to the healers. I held her close as my father came to a quick stop. I hopped off my mate before quickly following the healer into the clinic. I softly laid my mate down upon the bed and moved away so the healer can assist her and begin to hear her wounds. I stepped into the bathroom sliding on boxer briefs and sweats. I noticed I had blood smears across my chest and abdomen. I had my beautiful mate's blood on my body. It pained me to the core as I grabbed a wet cloth and began to clean my skin.
I hurt my mate, I am the cause of her pain and suffering. She got hurt because of me, she bled because of my hands. I failed at being her mate, I was supposed to protect her from harm not be the cause of it. I was suppose to love her not fight her. I have failed and she is hurt because of me.
I am a cold heartless monster...
