The Return

Theo/Gage's POV

We knew that she'd probably push us away, yell at us and then never want to talk to us again, but the moment we felt her soft lips on ours, we couldn't give a damn.

Her lips were so soft as we moved ours against hers. She was shocked, we could tell by the way she stood tense and didn't move. We thought that once she regains her conscious, she'd shove us back.

We were pleasantly surprised when we felt her lips begin to move with ours. We wrapped ours arms around her waist, and pulled her closer, wanting to feel her body against ours. She wrapped her arms around our neck and ran her fingers through our hair. Gosh, just her simple touch drove us insane. She moved even closer, if that was even possible, and rubbed her body against ours, making a low groan bubble from the back of our throats. Our control broke once we heard her whimper.

We picked her up and wrapped her legs around our waist, not breaking the kiss once. We walked forward until she was pressed up against a tree. We had to break the kiss eventually, needing oxygen in our systems but that didn't stop us. We began trailing kisses down her neck, sucking and biting. We knew what we were doing, temporary claiming, but by the way she was doing the same to us, we highly doubted she minded.

We kissed our way back up and met her lips for another kiss. We both tried to fight for dominance but we eventually won. We slid our tongue across her bottom lip, asking for entrance but she decided to tease us and keep her mouth shut. We let out a growl and pinched her butt, causing her to gasp. We took full advantage and slid our tongue in her mouth. She tasted like strawberries.

We were suddenly broken apart by a loud siren going off, indicating that an intruder has entered our land. We pulled away from Izzy to listen out for anything and we heard a set of paws approaching us. We growled and pushed Izzy behind us, after setting her down. We turned around and faced the dark woods, only now realising that it was night time.

We continued to growl as the paws became louder until the wolf was standing in front of us. By the scent we knew exactly who it was, which made us see red. He growled at us, standing in a fighting stance. We snorted, laughing at this challenge.

"Bring it on pup." We snarl at him and charge, shifting in mid air. He charges forward and goes straight for our neck. We step to the side, letting him run right past us. He turned around quickly and tried for another attack. He jumped and landed on our back, biting into our scruff. We snarled and rolled over, making him release. He yelped but still got up quickly. We went for the attack now, making him think we were going for his neck, when we suddenly slid down and bit down on his front left leg, hard. He howled in pain and tried to snap at us, but we just bit down harder, making him whimper.

"Theo stop!" We heard Izzy yell at us, but we were still raging.

"Theo please, stop." We heard her whimper. We blinked our eyes, released his leg and stepped back. We turned to Izzy to see a glare on her face. We hung our head in shame, not wanting her to ever see us like this. She came forward and went to him, she ran her hand through his fur. He purred at the contact and licked her hand. She smiled down at him, ignoring us now. We whimpered softly and turned away from the two of them. We knew we were no longer needed, so we left them there.

She still loved him, from what we could see. We guess, even after what Beau did to her, she still loved him. He was her mate.

Our heart ached, knowing that no matter how hard we tried, she'd always go back to him. When we were far enough we howled out our pain. Collapsing onto the ground, wanting the pain to just go away. They say when your mate rejects you it feels like you're dying. She's not even my mate and yet we feel it. We feel the rejection pain.

"From the way you're laying on the ground whimpering, I take it didn't go so well?" We hear Adrian ask as he sits down next to us. We shift back, not caring that we're naked in front of him.

"She loves him more. He's her mate. I can't be with her." We say sadly, looking down at the ground in pain.

"That's it? You're just going to give up so easily? Theo, she'd never choose someone like that over you-"

"But she did, Adrian! She did! When I  went to talk to her, we ended up kissing. Then Beau attacked me and then even after that, she went to his side. She ignored me completely once he was there. It hurts so much Adrian." We sob out. He pulls us into his embrace, shakily, not really wanting to touch us. We were grateful for him trying. Even after how much he hates any form of contact, he still tries to comfort me. We pull back knowing its probably to much for him.

"Come on, let's get you to bed." He says hawling us up and walking us home. We see him grab something out of his bag and its pants. He hands it to us and we put it on.

"Are you sleeping over?"

"Well duh. My best friend is in pain, no way am I leaving you." We smiled at him gratefully and made our way back home. When we reached the house, we saw Mother and Father standing outside.

"Theo!" Mom yells and comes rushing over to us. She engulfs us in a tight hug then checks us over, to see if we're alright.

"I'm fine mom. Mom, Dad, this is Adrian. He was my best friend from back home-"

"I still am your best friend. Hi, Adrian Cavil, such a pleasure to meet you both. Though I am confused. Wasn't Uncle Steven your dad?" He asks us. We sigh and tell him the short version of our story, not telling him that I was kidnapped.

"Well damn, very interesting." We go to reply but then hear rustling from behind us. We turn around and see Izzy and Beau emerge from the woods. His arm is around her, as she helps him to walk. She looks up at gives us a small smile, but then turns the smile towards Beau. We let out a soft whimper before rushing into the house.

We make it up to our room, knowing Adrian's right behind us. We sit in the corner of our room and just look down at our feet sadly. We hear Adrian sigh and close our door. He knows that I'm not going to move, so he brings us pillows and blankets.

"Like old times huh?" He says to us, when he's done building his version of a 'fort'. We smile softly and nod our head. We crawl over to our side and lay down. We close our eyes and fall into a dream-less sleep.
