I'm baaaccckkkkkk. From like two minutes ago even tho to you guys it'll probably seem more like an hour. Anyways, like i said at the end of the other chapter, i have to make a slight detour from the story line I've written to make up for the error. This chapter should clear up some questions about chapters 6-11. In case i didn't say it last chapter, i also edited chapter nine. so ya. here's the real chapter twenty seven.

here ya go, enjoy

Chapter 27

I woke up from my dream and knew exactly what to do.

The dorm was quiet, aside from the sound of Sam's snores. You woudn't think he did, but he sounds like a chain saw. I got up and put on my robe, which was warm and soft. Thank god for that, because when i got onto the balcony, i really just wanted to step back in. The night air was frigid. Instead, I went over to the guy door and lightly tapped. Dimirti, who had the bed closest to the door, woke up. He saw it was me and got curious.

"Yes?" My heart fluttered. His hair was slightly disheveld but not in an ugly way, and his voice was as husky as ever.

"Can we talk?" He nodded and stepped outside with me.

I went and settled by the rail as i had been the first time we kissed, looking out at the beautiful forest. He was behind me. It was a complete deja vu. Only this time, i was going to be completely honest with him. "Okay so I may have been avoiding you these past weeks. I didn't want to talk to you because i was confused. I pushed you away because I didn't want to tell you the whole, scary, messed up truth. But I love you. So if you really want to know, I'll tell you. You can ask away." I bit my lip, half hoping he would just walk away. He didn't.

"Who was it in the forest? That night?"

"Alex." My voice broke as i told him the painful truth.

"Was he here to get you?" I nodded, grateful he couldn't see the tears rolling down my cheeks. "Is he bones?" I nodded again. "Did he do anything to harm you?"

I scoffed. "You mean besides nearly killing me by giving me this lovely scar?" I held up the wrist that had been bitten. "Not while you've been here." I tried to work my way around the question by giving a half truth.

He spotted the lie in my tone and pressed me further. "What do you mean?"

I swallowed my tears and turned around. I knew he could see the puffiness in my eyes, but he didn't make a big deal about it. "Did i ever tell you what happened to my mother?" He shook his head. I choked back some more tears and took a deep breath. "She didn't die a normal war death. When Alex first thought of leaving, he brought up the idea with me. I thought he was joking, and hurt his pride in that way. When he transformed, his hurt turned into resentment and anger.

"So when my mom and I were video chatting one day over the summer, he found her. He had a group of Dami with him, and had them subdue her Pack. She thought they had gone to sleep, and didn't think twice about it. I saw Alex creep up behind my mom, but was helpless to do anything but watch as he knocked her unconcious. He said hi before turning into a vicious mountain lion and murdering her. In front of me. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. I found out the next day he did something similar to my father and brother. He- he's a monster." I broke down. Dimitri came over and took me in his arms. He sat us down and held me for a while.

"I'm so sorry, Rose. I'm so sorry. You're sake now. It's gonna be alright." We sat that way for the rest of the night, comforted by each other.

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. Something was wrong, but i coulnd't figure out what. Until I opened my eyes. I was still in Dimitri's arms. He was looking out at the forest, clearly in deep thought. He looked troubled, and i wanted to lighten the mood. "So do I snore?" I asked the question jokingly. We had spent the night on the balcony before (but not gotten anywhere), so he already knew that I slept like a rock.

But he played along and jokingly said, "Yes I didn't sleep a wink. You really should get that looked at."

"Maybe if you have some time later..." I trailed off, realizing that my flirting had come back all too quickly. Thankfully, he seemed to take it as a suggestion and continued the flirt.

"As a matter of fact, I think I have some right now." He leaned down and kissed me. I was surprised and locked up. He pulled away. "I'm so sorry- I thought- after last night- and then this morning- " He was cut off as i reached up and pulled him back down to me.

"I love you," I said against his lips.

"I love you too, Rose. Always have, always will." He leaned back down to kiss me, and I sat up, stradling him on the chair.

After several minutes of heated making out, I suggested that we get to our classes. We had already missed conditioning and the first half of first period. Finally, the weeks of tormented confliction were over. I had my dream guy, my soulmate back again.

Yay! They got back together! even if the rest of the chapter is sad...anyways, that is what the kink was. I realized that the nightmare in chapter nine and the story of Alex murdering her family was missing, and had to add it in somehow. This will only change a few things, so the story is still on track. Another chapter soon to come.
