The Unwanted Luna

XAVIER.

I sat on my bed waiting for Bianca to wake up since the doctor said she would by morning and I was not going to leave her side until she did.

Even though the doctors assured me she would wake up, they told me that I should also be prepared for the worst. Given how she hit her head, they said there was a possibility she would wake with amnesia so my mind kept shifting from worry about Bianca to Amelia. I know what I did was wrong but I couldn't control myself, I shouldn't have hurt her given she had just come from giving birth, but I was angry at her for hurting Bianca.

My wolf hasn't spoken to me since then and it has been a week, he insists that Amelia is innocent but he has always loved and defended her so that wasn't anything new to me, though I do admit that it wasn't the right action to take, I haven't even been able to go and see her, to check whether she was alright.

I am hit by a feeling of being watched but when I turn around no one is there. I just get this nagging feeling that something isn't right but I chose to ignore it, I mean what could be wrong?

"Xavier?" My thoughts are interrupted by Bianca calling my name, and when I turn towards her, her eyes are open.

I can't help the relief I feel at the moment.

"You are awake, finally, how are you feeling?" I ask her.

"Amelia, where is she I need to speak to her" This was not what I was expecting when she woke up.

"You can talk to her later, let me call the doctors to come and check you up" I try to get her to lie back down but she refuses, choosing to sit upright even though you can clearly tell that she is weak and in pain.

"No, you don't understand, she tried to save me and I need to apologize to her for believing the accusations against her instead of believing what she told me" I can see the tears and pain in her eyes.

It is tearing her up and if I am being honest it also tore me up to realize that Amelia was telling the truth all along.

She even told Sophie that she saw them in the woods, and Sophie tried telling us but I rebuffed her telling her to tell Amelia, that I would gladly hand her over to them and because of that the pack paid for it.

Those things were unbeatable and we weren't even able to capture or kill any one of them but they would have destroyed us if it weren't for them backing away all of a sudden.

"What do you mean she tried saving you?" I asked her, once what she said clearly clicked in my mind afraid of what I was going to hear.

"When that creature cornered me, Amelia ran towards me screaming and waving her hands trying to distract it, I don't even think she realized that she was bleeding and blood was flowing down her legs, but she wasn't fast enough because just before she reached me, that thing hit me and I hit something, the last thing I remember is seeing it with a sinister smile right before it disappeared." I honestly felt like I had been hit by a truck.

I pushed her, roughly, thinking that she hurt Bianca. I hurt her when she had just given birth and hadn't fully healed.

I stood there while she was bleeding and told her I hated her and she didn't say a thing, she didn't try to defend herself.

The door suddenly burst open and Sophie burst through the door with Tristan who was crying in her arms and Jayden right behind her, she was a mess. Her eyes were red and mascara was running down her face.

The feeling of something being wrong intensified and that was confirmed when Ace told me that he felt something was off.

"Amelia is going to try and end her life" Sophie says hysterically while I take Tristan from her hands, afraid that with all her shaking she is going to accidentally drop him.

He immediately quiets down but the tears are still flowing from the sides of his eyes. He is a beautiful baby, a mixture of both me and his mother, and I fell in love with him the moment he was laid in my arms. "Why would you say that?" Bianca asks, shaking, you can clearly hear the fear in her voice and I am terrified of hearing her answer.

"Because she came to my room, and asked me to babysit Tristan because she had to get some tests done at the hospital. When Tristan woke up and started crying, I called the hospital to ask if they could connect me to Lia so that I could get her to come back and feed Tristan but I

was shocked when they told that she hadn't been there and that she never had an appointment in the first place. I started worrying because she seemed sad when she left and she talked to me like she was saying goodbye. So I went to her room and that's when I found two letters on her bed, one addressed to me and the other to Tristan." She says in one breath and at first I am confused at who Lia is until Ace tells me it's short for Amelia.

I request her to give me the letter and she does, what I read causes my breath to catch and heart to break.

[Hi Soph, by the time you are finding this letter I will probably be dead but don't worry about me, I know I will be in safe hands, my parents will be receiving me on the other side.

I didn't tell you because I knew you would have stopped me and I couldn't have that. Please don't be sad, I need you to be strong for Tristan, I won't be around so you are going to have to take care of him for me.

I also want to thank you for being there and for everything you have done for me, not just recently but even before, I have no words to express my gratitude but I am thankful none the less.

I know you will be mad at me but there was really no other choice, the bond is continually getting worse and I can't risk going feral and hurting Tristan or you.

We both know that Xavier hates me and would never accept me as his mate, he would probably jump for joy when I die so there really is no hope for me.

The pain and heartbreak was killing me and I was losing grip slowly by slowly, I truly hope that you will understand, I just can't let it happen.

Please make sure that He and Bianca really take good care of him and love him, make sure he never faces any hate from both of them just because they hate me or the pack. Give him his letter when he is old enough to understand things, tell him every day that I love him and will always love him.

Also tell Ace not to be sad, that everything will work out and he should find a way to move on and accept a chosen mate, to always protect and love our son like he always did with me. Tell him I love him and all things aside he is the best mate anyone could ever love. Goodbye, and I love you.

Ps. I pumped enough milk to last Tristan a couple of weeks and the bottles are in the mini fridge in my room.]

My knees weaken and I almost collapse. I have to find her, before it is too late. I hand Tristan over to Sophie and rush out of my room.

This couldn't be happening, since the day I carried her to her room after she tried to get away from me at the hospital, something shifted, seeing her look at me with so much hate changed something inside me but I was too stubborn and now there was a chance that it might be too late. "Run faster, or better yet, let me take over" Ace urgently says in my head.

I can feel what he is feeling but unlike before where our feelings were separate and different when it came to Amelia, this time we were on the same frequency.

I transform into Ace ripping my clothes in the process but I don't care. Our senses are more heightened in wolf form hence we are able to catch her faint scent but then we feel the bond begin to weaken, the same bond I had spent months ignoring. That was not a good sign at all, and it made us run faster. I was scared to think of what that truly meant.

As her sweet scent gets stronger so does the smell of blood. I followed her scent to the stream, hoping against all hope that it isn't too late, that I can still save her, take her to the pack hospital and that everything would be okay but it wasn't. The sight that greets me will forever be engraved in my mind, the entire stream was red, red with her blood. For a moment my heart stopped beating and I felt it shatter.

We changed back to my human form and just as I was about to dive into the bloodied water to search for her, I was brought to my knees by a pain that I have never felt before, making both me and Ace release a howl. A howl of sorrow and pure heartbreak. I am werewolf, I've been bitten, clawed and shot by silver bullets you name it, but none of them could compare to the pain I was in right now. It was agonizing, a feeling of your soul being ripped apart, leaving you void and empty.

I was too late, the bond had snapped and that could only mean one thing, Amelia was dead, my mate was dead.

The one woman I spent months hating,wishing her dead and cursing her to hell, and now that she was, I was completely broken.

And the sad part is that I am the reason she is dead. I am the one who pushed her too far. How could I face Tristan after this? How am I supposed to raise our week old son alone? How will I ever tell him that I am the reason his mother isn't by his side?
