Decebel
"Please forgive me" I knew that as soon as my love knew what I had done, all hell would break loose. I had to do this for her, for our child, our daughter, but it hurt, it hurt so much...
Jen
I felt him as he pressed himself against me, his closeness warmed me and I snuggled in tightly. I was glad he was back, I hated to admit it, but he is my grounding, my earth my life and, no matter how hard it was to admit, stupid fur balls! I wish I didn't need my mate as much as I do, it hurts. Closing my eyes, I am a sleep instantly. Our minds connect as any walls are pulled down. That is when I see it. Decebel is with the great lunar, trading his life for our daughters. I jolt awake with a scream, I can feel the pain rip through me, it is unbearable.
"Jennifer, baby?" I hear Decebel ask concerned. I try to push him away but it's no use, he won't budge from the tight possessive grip he has around me.
"Don't touch me!" I screech, Dec lets go, I can feel the hurt in him, but his hurt doesn't match mine, I stare into his perfect eyes, not moving not saying anything, it is then I hear the footsteps thundering down the hallway. Jacque and Sally burst through the door, followed closely by those damn possessively stupid fur-balls. I feel the tears roll down my face, as Jacque and Sally run and hold me tight. Dec is steaming in the corner but I couldn't careless, the unfeeling flea ridden fur-ball.
"What happened, Hun?" Sally asks, and I shake in her embrace. I look over Dec, my mate, pffft. What mate does this, huh, what mate goes behind his females back and does something like this?
"He broke our bond" I cried harder, my body shuddering with each breath. I felt the room grew tense, as Decebel, Fane and Costin growled in response.
"You what!?" Jacque said seething; she got up and walked pointedly to my so called mate. Fane was right there after her.
"I...I...I won't let her carry our child for nine months, then have her taken from us." Decebel almost whimpered, I could sense but I knew he stayed strong bearing in mind, was an alpha and his Beta and the next alpha for the Romanian pack were in the room.
"So what? You thought, oh yeah, my life is less important to Jen then our daughters, so I'm going to petition the great lunar, so that she takes me instead?" Jacque replied her voice dripping with anger and sarcasm, by this point she was standing less than a foot from him. Fane was growling so much the room should have been shaking.
Decebel looked at me "I'm sorry, I couldn't stand to see you mourn, what I saw in the in-between that cannot be our- YOUR reality, I won't let it!" Decebel exclaimed. I stood up and growled at my dumb fur-ball of a mate.
"That my dear mate is where YOU are wrong! It's not my reality its supposed to be OUR reality, its OUR family that you are messing with!"
Sally
Taking a deep breath, I walk and join Jacque. When will these stupid males understand that we do need them, they are our everything.
I know, Sally mine, I love you too Costin's voice vibrated through our bond.
I love you, Costin I sent back smiling. But please I am going to do something, something to help my best friend, don't be angry. I tried closing the bond before he saw what I was going to do, but of course it was no use. I heard my growl in response, sending the room into frenzy as he tried to stop me.
I put my hand on Decebel's heart and begin whispering. I knew this is what I needed to do, for my friend, for everyone, life was not something to play with. I began whispering the words that would turn the bond off, like a permanent wall that could not and would not break until Decebel saw the hurt he was going to inflict on my best friend.
"I will not tell you the severity of what you have done, for you can see it yourselves, playing with the fates, with love is NOT something to be meddled with." Decebel's growling increased and Costin wrapped his arms around me.
Jen
I couldn't feel him, Dec? I asked tentively through our bond. DEC?! I yelled this time, but there was nothing. "What did you do Sal?" I cried harder.
"I am teaching him a lesson, I'm sorry Jen" Sally said as she and Costin turned and walked out the door. I stared at my friend and whimpered, what did she mean? She was sorry, sorry for what? Jacque gave me a hug and slipped out of the room with Fane close behind. Exhaustion washed over me and I collapsed to the floor in fits of crying.
"Do you not know me?" I asked Decebel. He came over to me and hugged me tight.
"I am so sorry, I didn't know what else to do, I could not bare to see you upset."
"Smart one" I muttered. He cocked his head to the side and chuckled.
"There is my old smart mouthed mate" he smiled slightly. I tried to desperately to reach out to him, but with each failed attempt I felt myself grow weaker; until everything went black-
Three days later
I couldn't hear anything, but I could feel the softness and comfort that the fabric against me gave me, but I could not hear my mate. This is what brought me awake. I opened my eyes. I was not in our room, I was not anywhere familiar, I was also alone. I looked around taking in my surroundings. I was in a room, it was a nice room. The walls were bare except for a window, I stretched and got up, and maybe the view would give me an Idea where I was. As I approached the glass I knew that it was no hope, all I saw was my reflection and as I got closer I realised that this was a one way mirror and I was the one to be looked at, where am I? I felt my body shudder as the memories came flooding back- Decebel and his deceit.
