Roman watched Nova sleep. She was completely drained.
"Brie's calling", Paige said, grabbing the phone.
She didn't even let it ring, picking it up.
"She's fine", Paige said.
"No she's not, I can feel something is wrong", Brie said.
"Brie", Paige rolled her eyes.
"Paige, what the hell is wrong with my daughter?", Brie asked angry.
Paige sighed. Dean asked for the phone and she handed it to him.
"There was a party. Nova felt like something bad was going to happen, to me", Dean said.
"Are you getting to the point?", Brie asked.
"These guys came over, Nova didn't know them. They dragged me downstairs and beat me with a bat, I was dying", Dean stopped and looked at Roman.
Roman knew why he couldn't feel his Beta dying. The Hellhound didn't let him. If he had he would have ran home and helped Dean and Nova wouldn't be like this now.
"She saved you", Brie said.
"She did. Paige said Nova gave me a life, that it was only possible if I was on the brink of death", Dean said.
"Its true. How is she? Is she sleeping?", Brie asked.
"Yes, we haven't left her side. Do we need to do something to help her?", Dean asked.
"Just let her sleep. She's gonna be hungry when she wakes and make sure there is plenty of water", Brie said.
"Got it, we will clean the place up", Dean said.
Dean gave the phone back to Paige.
"Hey, I think she might have a new ability", Paige said.
"Really, what?", Brie asked.
"Premonition. Carmella and Bayley were telling me that she's been getting them lately. At first they brushed it off as her gut feeling, you know those. Anyway, she told them her sight was fuzzy and out of focus, the wall in her head doesn't let her see the visions", Paige said.
"Great, that's all we needed, for her to see the future", Brie said.
"Not really. I can see the future, good or bad. She see's only bad", Paige said.
Paige heard Brie sigh.
"So about this party", Brie said.
"Oh you know what, I can't hear you the connection is, Brie, hello", Paige said, before hanging up.
Dean chuckled.
"Now Mr. Alpha, care to explain those names on your arm?", Paige asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
Roman rolled his eyes before kissing Nova's hand.
"Why would you do it?", Paige asked.
Dean and Seth looked at him.
"Answer her", Dean said, glaring at Roman.
Roman stood and looked at them.
"He threatened to hurt her and I wasn't about to walk. You think I wanted to do this? I feel awful, sick to my stomach. I took someone's life from them. Yes the man was bad, evil is more like it but I did it for her, to keep her safe", Roman said.
He felt himself sweating and his heart rate kicked up.
"Withdraw is kicking in. You want to do it again, you need to", Paige said.
Seth looked Roman over, he's never seen him look so sick. He also looked like he was in pain.
"I'm fine", Roman said.
"Ro?", Seth asked.
"I said I'm fine", Roman growled.
He turned and leaned his head against the window. The glass fogged up, Roman balled his hands into fists and took deep breaths. The screaming of the bad souls in his ears. He lifted his hands and covered his ears, he was shaking.
"Shut up", he yelled.
"Roman?", Dean said worried.
"There's nothing you can do for him. Like any drug addict who's going through withdraws, you have to let him ride it out", Paige said.
"But he can't, he still has two more to collect", Seth said.
Paige looked at Roman.
"You could always go and get the last two now. We've got Nova, there's nothing you can do for her. Especially not with you going through this", she said, gesturing to a shaking, sweating Roman.
He took a deep breath and nodded. Dean stepped up to Roman before he could leave.
"You better come back. See her? Look at her damn it", Dean growled.
Roman swallowed, his throat was dry. He turned and looked at Nova.
"She needs you, don't lose yourself. Remember her, think of her", Dean said.
"My soul is connected to hers, I won't lose that", Roman said, his voice low.
"If you don't come back by tomorrow night, Dean and I will come looking and drag you back here. Our pack needs our Alpha and she needs her mate", Seth said.
"I'll be back before tomorrow night", Roman said, closing his eyes.
The pain he felt was excruciating. He needed to get out and away from Nova. He quickly made his way out and downstairs. He fell to his knees and screamed, he was shifting and as much as he tried to fight it, he couldn't.
"It will hurt more if you fight me, just let me out", his Hellhound growled.
Roman let him. The pain was gone and the voice of his next victim was calling.
Nova-
"Is there anyway we can help him?", Dean asked.
Paige shook her head no.
"When he's done, all we can do is be there and help him ride it out. Nova could have helped, but since she doesn't know about us, she can't", Paige said.
"If he comes back", Dean mumbled.
"I doubt he'll be back, the cravings for bad souls is too strong", Paige said.
"We should let his dad and brother know", Dean said.
"He'll come back", Seth said angry.
He was mad that they were both so sure Roman would abandon Nova. Seth knew he wouldn't. They both looked at him and he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Seth", Dean started.
"No. We are his best friends and the fact that you are so sure he won't come back says you never had any faith in him in the first place", Seth said.
"I had a lot of faith in him, that was before he sold his soul to the devil", Dean said, stepping up to Seth.
"He did it to protect Nova. Wouldn't you?", Seth asked.
Dean sighed and looked at Nova.
"I would", he answered.
"And so would I, that's how I know he had no choice but to say yes to Finn", Seth said.
"I do have faith in him, but seeing him now, hearing him scream like that, I don't know if he's strong enough", Dean said.
"He is and like you told him, if he doesn't come back by tomorrow night, we leave to go find him and we won't stop looking till we do", Seth said.
Dean nodded and looked at Nova.
"He's not gonna be here when she wakes. I don't even want to see the look on her face", Dean said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"She'll be ok. I can say I had to take him to the vet", Paige said.
Dean nodded.
Reigns-
Jumping through a portal, I landed in Boston. Following the scent of the bad soul, tasting sour on the tip of my tongue. Stopping at a restaurant, he watched a blonde woman walk out with an elderly man, the smell was coming from the woman.
"We need to hurry, I need to get back to Nova", Roman said.
"Shut up, you like this. I can feel it", the Hellhound growled.
He followed their car to a huge house about twenty miles away. The closer he got to the woman, the more he saw why she was a bad soul. She married this old man to take his money, she was slowly poisoning him. She was cheating and she would beat this man's grandchildren whenever they stayed over. He could hear her laugh as she walked away from their crying forms. Roman growled.
"How could people be so cruel", Roman said.
"That's why we punish them", the Hellhound said.
After an hour of waiting, this woman walked downstairs to make her and her husband a cup of coffee. Roman watched as the house keeper was going to take the old man's coffee, but this woman stopped her. The house keeper nodded and left. This woman took out a small vile and poured a small amount into a cup. Roman felt this strange power come over him, the Hellhound was compelling this woman to drink from the vile.
"I didn't know we could do that", Roman said.
"We can't, I borrowed this power from Nova", The Hellhound said.
"No she doesn't have that power", Roman argued.
He would have seen it.
"The wall is blocking it, but I can smell it on her", The Hellhound said.
Roman watched the woman choke and white foam coming out of her mouth. He felt her soul seep into him and he sighed. He felt better, stronger.
"One more", the Hellhound said.
A portal formed and he jumped in, landing in a graveyard. North Carolina. Following the smell.
"Roman", he heard Nova whisper and he stopped.
He looked around.
"She's dreaming, ignore it and keep going. This man is close", the Hellhound said.
"I can't ignore it, she's looking for me. I've been gone all night", Roman argued.
"And you'll be gone all day tomorrow if you don't get moving now, she's fine", the Hellhound growled.
Roman didn't know what to do.
Fine, as soon as I collect this man's soul, we sleep so I can go to her", Roman growled.
He felt the Hellhound roll his eyes.
"Fine yes", the Hellhound said.
Roman continued towards the scent. Hearing someone scream, he stopped. Listening for it again. Hearing her scream he took off towards it, the scent going the same way. A cabin in the middle of now where was good to hide bad things.
"You won't like what you find", the Hellhound said.
Roman shifted and kicked down the door. The man stood over a woman. She was covered in blood and cuts. She was screaming in pain and crying. Roman saw all the women he's hurt, killed, and still missing women.
"What the", this man didn't have enough time to finish his sentence.
Roman went over to him, grabbing him by the throat and throwing he across the room. The Hellhound was out, grabbing the man again, he burned every inch of his body. The man screamed in pain.
"Now you know how it feels" the Hellhound growled.
Once the man died, his soul seeped into Roman.
"Please help me", the woman strapped down cried.
Roman went over to her and untied her, she cried. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around his bottom half. He bent down in front of the woman and she looked up at him.
"You never saw who did this, you woke up and he was already dead", Roman said.
The woman nodded.
"Tell the police he buried the other women in his garden out back. They'll find each of them", Roman said.
The girl nodded.
"Thank you", she cried.
"Hurry and get some help. You're losing too much blood", Roman said.
The girl nodded and looked around. She found her bag and clothes in the bedroom. Finding her phone, Roman waited till they told her they were on their way to get her. He walked into the woods and he could hear sirens, far but he heard them. The girl would be safe, Roman smiled.
"We have to get to Finn", the Hellhound said.
The sun was just coming up, Roman stopped. Clutching his chest.
"Something's wrong with Nova", Roman said.
"Bray", the Hellhound growled.
Roman sat and tried to concentrate. AJ had taught him how to dream walk at will, she said he would need it in the future. Now he knew why. He felt himself drift off, opening his eyes the woods were dark, fog surrounding him. These weren't the woods he was just in, these were the woods he found Nova in when she was little.
"Help me", he heard her voice.
Roman looked around.
"Nova? Baby where are you? Come to me, now. Run towards my voice sweetheart", Roman called out.
"Please help me", Nova yelled.
It was distant, panic set in Roman. Roman ran towards where he thought it was coming from, he stopped. He heard crying and looked around, seeing a tiny form hiding behind a tree.
"Nova?", he asked.
The little girl came out, it was Nova. She was dressed and looked exactly like when they met that day.
