A/N Yay! It's the chapter you've all been waiting for! :D I hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you think with a review! :D
It was the day before the full moon when Zeke finally called me. I was in the middle of training when my phone began to ring. I looked over at Peter and he nodded for me to go as he stepped up and kept training the pack. "Hello." I said as I jogged up the steps in the basement. "Derek?" Zeke asked as I came into the kitchen. "Yeah… Have you found anything else out Zeke?" I asked. My stomach began to twist itself into knots as his silence filled the phone. "Yes… Meet me at her grave tomorrow… I need you to do something tomorrow though…" He said quietly. "Anything! What do you need me to do?" "I need you to focus on your love for Rebekah all day… even when you're chaining your betas up keep your focus on her." He said sternly. "Ok… I will… Should I focus on the happy memories?" "You can think of any memories as long as it keeps you focused on your love for her… I'm going to be doing the something while I prepare a few items…" "Thank you Zeke…" I said cutting him off. "For what my dear boy?" "For helping me get her back…" "To be honest Derek I'm not doing this for you… I'm doing this for myself… and my daughter… I miss her so much…" He said choking out the last part. I felt tears being to run down my cheeks as his words echoed through my mind. "I know… I miss her too…" I stammered hating my voice for trembling. Zeke quickly cleared his throat before he spoke. "Spend some time with your pack and get some rest Derek… I'll see you tomorrow…" He said and then he hung up.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself before going back down stairs. I finished running the pack through their drills and then dismissed them. I was starting for the stairs when Peter caught my arm. "Who was so important you needed to leave training?" He asked studying me. "Oh… it was just Zeke…" I said meeting my uncle's gaze. "Why was Zeke calling you?" He questioned eyeing me. "He's just checking up on me and the pack… he's worried about… the Alpha's…" I said quietly. Peter continued to study me for a few long moments and then seemed to accept my answer. "So who do we need to chain up tomorrow night?" He asked as we started for the stairs. "Jackson, Erica, Boyd, and Victoria…" I said as we reached the top of the stairs. "What about Isaac and Scott?" He asked. "They're crashing here so we can keep an eye on them… but I don't think they need to be chained up." I said as we walked into the living room. "Ok… whatever you say… you're the Alpha." Peter said giving me a pat on my back as he went to go sit out on the porch. I quickly found my way to mine and Rebekah's room and tried to get some sleep.
I awoke the next morning and pulled on some clothes. Then I took Bek's journal and headed down stairs. I grabbed an apple from the kitchen and then sat in the living room and began to read her journal. I felt myself blush as I read each page. Every entry she would talk about me. This is the first book I can honestly say made me laugh, cry, and smile all at the same time. Around noon there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a package addressed to me sitting on the ground. I quickly picked it up and went back in inside. I opened the package and looked inside. I pulled out a pink candle with a sticky note attached to it.
Focus on your love for her and sketch it into the candle.

"What am I supposed to sketch?" I asked myself as I sat back and stared at the candle. I let my hands change into claws as I lost myself in my thoughts of Rebekah and carved out different patterns in the candles soft wax.
The pack came home around three and started doing their homework. Scott and Stiles showed up an hour later with pizza for everyone. I set the candle down and went to eat with my pack. I looked around and smiled at the happy scene. We were like a big family enjoying our dinner. I smiled as my eyes caught everyone's pack ring. My heart rate picked up a little as a goofy smile made its way to my lips when I realized that after tonight our pack will be complete again. We had just finished dinner when there was a knock at the door. Peter went and answered it. He walked back into the kitchen with Chris and Victoria in tow. I looked around the table and clapped my hands together. "Ok let's do this." I said leading the way to the basement. I went to the hidden door and pressed my palm to the cement. I unlocked three of the rooms. Chris went into one to chain Victoria up and Peter went to help Boyd while I followed Erica into the third room. Soon their screams filled the air like a song. Once everyone was secure the rest of us headed up stairs.
I quickly grabbed my candle and walked out to the backyard. I found Zeke placing different candles around my mate's grave. "Did you…" He started as I handed him the candle. "Thank you." He said softly. "Now I need you to dig while I set this up." He said meeting my eyes. "Dig… Dig up her grave?" I asked feeling slightly disgusted. He only nodded. I had been digging for almost 20 minutes when I finally found her body. Her skin was as pale as the moon and covered in dirt. My heart broke as I gazed at her. She was so lifeless… this wasn't my mate… my Rebekah… but I'm going to bring her back. I looked up to see that Zeke was lighting all of the candles. Then he kneeled down next to me. "We're going to bring you back princess." He said softly as he caressed her face. He tipped her head back so her lips parted slightly. He looked up at the moon for a moment and then he raked a clawed finger across the soft flesh of his palm. "Follow my suit…" He murmured as he let his blood pool in his hand. I quickly let my hand change into a claw and slashed my own palm. I let the blood pool in my palm and then I looked up at Zeke. He held his palm over Rebekah's mouth and I did the same. "On three…" He said. "One…Two…Three!" Zeke said as we tipped our hands over and let our blood trickle into her mouth. "Is that all?" I whispered. "Now we wait and pray that it worked." He said sitting back in the grave. I did the same as I grabbed her hand and intertwined my fingers with hers. A half an hour went by and nothing happened. Soon any how went by and it quickly turned to two and then three with no change. I looked up at Zeke at the five hour mark and saw tears streaming down his face.
As the six hour mark hit the sun began to rise. Zeke's blue eyes met my own and I could tell he was giving up. He leaned over and kissed Rebekah's forehead and then he gave my shoulder a squeeze as he climbed out of the grave. I felt my tears running hot down my cheeks as I choked back a sob. "Please come back…" I sobbed as I laid down next to my mate. I kept her hand in mine as I nuzzled her neck. "Please come back to me love." I sobbed. "I miss you so much love… I can't do this without you… I'm lost without you… Please come back to me love…" I sobbed. I stayed like that for a few more minutes until deciding to give up. I had just sat up when I felt her hand twitch in mine. I looked over at her in disbelief. "Rebekah?" I whispered her name hoping she would answer. Her eyes flew open exposing her vibrant violet wolf eyes. "Rebekah?" "Derek!" She coughed and my heart stopped.
