I wasn't gonna update today, but I got sooo many reviews on my last chapter that I decided you guys deserved this! Plus I finished my homework early so I had a ton of extra time. Also, If you're also readinh Heart of a Family, I haven't updated in a while because I'm having some writers block, but I think I have an idea and I'll write it as soon as possible!

So, a lot of you asked for Seth's POV for this next chapter. I pretty much just explained why he did what he did. Hopefully you won't hate it. Oh, and don't hate Dani for trying to move on. She truely thinks Seth doesn't love her anymore. You can hate on her mother all you want though:)

SETH'S POV

How could you do this? What have I done? I want to die! I need to find her! I'm such a monster!

No you're not! You did what's best for her! She needs a chance to live a normal life and learn and have adventure before she permanently settles down with me.

My internal battle lasted every second of every day. Every cell in my body ached for Dani. The imprint was killing me! It took everything I had not to go crawling back to her. I just wanted what was best for her. I wanted her to come back to me on her own decision. Not because of the imprint, not because of my influence. She needed to see the world, get an education. Maybe even go out on a few dates with other guys. She couldn't do that here, with me in the way. I'd be a distraction and I didn't want to stop her from the life she was meant to have. I only wished I had done it in a different way, instead of breaking her heart. I knew she was heartbroken. I could feel her heartbreak every day. And mixed with mine, it was unbearable. Some days I just curled in a ball and let the pain consume me.

There did come a day when the pain was dull. Not gone at all, but it didn't rip through me like a shark. I knew what it meant. It meant Dani was moving on. Not fully, but she was finding distractions. And I tried to do the same. I actually went to school and got my high school diploma, graduating with a 3.8 GPA. Considering I'd gotten through the previous year with straight D+'s, I was pretty proud. At least now I could get a decent job and support us when she came back.

I was a completely different person after she left. I couldn't find fun in simple things anymore; I had to work my brain to get the jokes out. Even Paul stopped calling me annoying. I tried not to let the guys know my pain, but it's hard to conceal everything when you share your thoughts with ten other people. The rest of the guys didn't understand why I let her slip through my fingers. I tried to explain that it was only temporary. That I just wanted her to experience life, but they didn't understand. Every person knows their imprint in their own individual way. For me, I know exactly what Dani needs, even if she doesn't know it herself. I can just see it, that she needs a hug or needs space. That she needs to get out of the house or needs independence. And I saw what she needed when she stood in front of my bedroom that terrible day. She needed adventure. She needed education. She needed experience. She didn't even know it, but she was so smart and she couldn't spend the rest of her youth here, hanging out with a bunch of wolves. I didn't want to rule her life completely.

And so, dear reader, please don't hate me for what I have done. Because what I did, I did out of love. The purest, quintessence of the love I felt for Dani. Because never in a million years would I do something so terrible to her if it wasn't for the best.

DANI'S POV

I stared at myself in the mirror for the longest time, wishing I could be happy with the girl I saw staring back. I did look pretty. My makeup was nice and my hair was all curly, but I didn't feel pretty. I felt like I was betraying Se- someone. But that someone didn't want me anymore, he wanted me to get over him. So here I am, trying to do exactly that. Kyle would be the perfect distraction… hopefully. Other than a certain someone, Kyle was the only guy I'd ever dated. This was our first real date other than the cup of coffee he'd bought me when he asked me out. It was yesterday. I was walking with my friends on the way home from school. We stopped at a Starbucks and who shows up but Kyle himself! Then my friends got all giggly and started staring at him and pushing me towards him like twelve year olds! He just grinned and fixed his hair a bunch of times. And then he asked me out. He just came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go to dinner because I had promised I would. I didn't remember linking pinkies, so technically I didn't promise, but I said yes anyways.

So here I was, trying to get the courage to leave the room and see Kyle, who was currently schmoozing my parents. Typical pompous rich guy. Seth would never SNAP! Bad Danielle! I blinked back a few tears and turned around. A flash caught my eye and I looked down at my hand. I still hadn't taken the ring off. I made a snap second decision and pulled it off, looping it through a chain that hung to my naval. Now nobody could see it, but I would always have it with me. I tucked it under my shirt and made my way to the living room where my parents were talking with Kyle.

"And then the professor said oh Kyle, thank you! You really did save my life! I would have chocked on that bit of cheese if you hadn't preformed mouth to mouth on time!" Kyle finished his story, or at least I think that's what he said. It all just sounded like pompous snot to me.

"Oh hello Danielle," Kyle greeted, smiling at me.

"Hi Kyle," I said, blushing when he brought my hand to his lips. But I wasn't blushing from happiness or embarrassment. I was blushing because I was so damn uncomfortable with his lips being where they shouldn't be. I shrugged it off and turned my attention to my parents.

"Have fun tonight," Daddy said, "And Kyle, I want her home by ten."

"Nine thirty sir," Kyle promised. Well where's the fun in that?

I kissed my mother's cheek and let Kyle lead me out the door and down the elevator. We ate dinner at a fancy restaurant that served snails and raw stake. Kyle was telling me another boring story about how he wrestled an alligator in Africa. Oh yeah Mr. Know it all? Well I rode a wolf and almost got attacked by a vampire and had the best damn time of my life! Of course I never actually said that.

"Danielle, I would like to ask for your permission to kiss you," he said before he dropped me at home.

HELL TO THE FUCKING NO! "Sure," I giggled.

He leaned in and pecked my lips lightly. There was no spark, no nothing. I'd rather of had a smoothie. After he kissed my hand one more time, I put on my happy face and pranced into the living room to tell mother all about my date.

Review!
