“I thought that he didn’t know about my horrible life, but he knew all this time,” she said to Gal. “He knew how miserable my life was and he just stood and watched me as I struggled to survive!”
“I can’t stand it anymore!” she yelled in her mind “I..I just need to get out of here!”
She remembered everything and all those thoughts that were running through her mind in the last few minutes now were revealed through the light of a new plot. Plot which was not new at all but it was there from the beginning.
They fooled her.
Her father, her siblings, the pack doctor, Patrick…everything was a fucking lie! And she was thinking of asking Patrick for help!
“Shit!” She just stood there and caught the bridge of her nose trying to focus and think about what she should do.
“Run or die!” gal stated “ Those are our options!”
“I thought that he loves us , Gal. After mom died he was there, he took my hand in his hand and told me that everything will be fine! Someone will love you! Those were his own words. But he knew all the time that that someone will never show up, because I will not be here anymore!”
And she clenched her fist.
“Someone will love you” echoed in her ears followed by the reality “this is not the first time she donated blood “
All this time he wasn't there as her friend , he was her guardian. He was there just to fool her enough not to run, to give her hope.
“How could I be so fool!” she asked herself “I was worrying that he will be sad and in the end he was behind all this all this time. He is just one of the people who wants to kill me”
And feeling like a deer in the middle of the wolves she changed her mind.
“I can’t let them win! “ and taking a few steps back she turns and runs back into the forest. She runs until she reaches the crystal lake again and falls to her knees starting to cry.
“Mom !” she yelled. “I was wrong. Everything I told you was a lie. They lied to me, mom! Everything was a lie. Patrick was just a lie, the biggest one. He is just one of my executioners. The cruelest one!”
But while she cried her heart out , in full despair Patrick showed up followed by a group of people.
"Oh my goddess!" Sarah said in her heart. "He came to take us...He came here personally!" and the despair took over he mind and soul. She lost her mother a few days ago and now the only person she cared and loved in this world was revealing himself as a schemer. The biggest one in her life.
"I fell like a fucking puppet in this puppeteer's hands." and her heart is bleeding so hard she can't find the strength to look at him anymore. She just stays there and cries as she never did it in her life.
“He came to take us to the scaffold.” Gal said to Sarah “Our executioner came to take us”.
“Sarah” Patrick whispered a little bit panicked seeing her like this, on her knees, crying hysterically. Thinking that she is crying because of her mother's death.
She just stood there and after some time when she calmed down a little, she wiped her tears and raised her head looking in his eyes with her bloodshot and swollen eyes. She just looked at him, remembering their first encounter, how he found her that day some time ago, and how he kept coming back to her. But now she knows that all was just a lie.
And he looks at her and has the same sensation, it’s like a deja-vu that both of them are living it.
“We should go back, Sarah,” Patrick said, kneeling near her and holding her hand. "Let's go!"
He held her hand countless times and she was glad to let him do it, but this time she feels different knowing the truth, and she just retreated her hand, letting it fall from his hand.
“Goddess!” she said to herself almost bursting again in tears but she looks in his eyes and tells him serious:
“I can’t go back, Patrick. If I go back I will die..” and she looks straight in his eyes while she repeats “I will die..”
Patrick just stood there and looked at her, how serious she was and thinking about it, he got angry inwardly, but maintained a businesslike formal attitude not to scare her.
“Why is she acting like this, Bart?” he asked his wolf , but Bart just stayed mute analyzing everything that happened.
“I know that you are sad, Sarah. I know that coming back to this place triggered a lot of sad memories, but that’s enough! We need to go back now!”
But Sarah just said again almost like a whisper “I can't go back, I will die … and I want to live, I want to have my happy ending. Patrick. Don’t you think that I deserve one? I just don’t want to die..”
And seeing her like this, totally uncooperating Patrick felt that she was just disobedient , and she was ruining everything acting like this. So completely flustered he stretched out his hand to grab her and force her walk.
“You will not die. You are strong, aren't you?"
But Sarah jumped from her place, moving away from him, before he could grab her arms, shocking him.
“Oh my goddess!” she prayed in her mind “Kill me now! End this now please, because it is too much for my poor heart. “
And lifting her gaze she just sees Patrick looking at her infuriated.
“You really think that I should go back to the pack isn’t so?” she asked with hater and he was just looking at her.
“You really want to see me dead?” and this time he couldn’t stand it and he said:
“Will you stop it with this non-sense? I’ve already told you. You are strong!”
And seeing him so determined to take her back she finally understood his heart. He is just cruel. Nothing from what she would say will make him change his heart, because he doesn’t have a heart.
So she stopped crying and wiped her tears. He wants her dead! Then let him see her dead!
He wants to grab her hand to calm her as he always did but she pushes him aside , without caring that he is the prince of werewolves and she just walks back to the Blood Moon Pack with a cold face.
EPILOG“How is it?” Patrick asked Sarah when he saw her coming into his office. He gets up from his seat and takes her in his arms , kissing her lips tenderly.“The hospital is ready to be open and also the school and the kindergarten.'' and Sarah escapes a soft yawn that alarms Patrick in the next second.“That's it, you’ve done enough. It is time to rest and leave the rest to those who said that will help you.” and he starts to walk with her to their bedroom.“But I can’t just let everything behind and rest!” she said with a very sweet face , making Patrick kiss her again.“You can. I will not allow you to exhaust yourself, given the condition you are in.” and he frowns a little even if he is not mad at all, he just adores her.“Condition?” and she raises an eyebrow. “I am pregnant. My condition is kind of normal, considering that since when we first mated all you do is to stick with me all day long” and she starts to giggle.“That’s it!” He tells her, opening the door and running w
The night went smoothly and after all the stress over the day everyone found his peace.Edward and Mara sat together and after midnight, he took her into his bedroom, where they just slept hugged into each other's arms, happy that they found each other.Alex and Elise mated and sealed their bond, and for the first time in his life Alex cried like a baby when he took her, cursing and screwing himself for acting like a jerk with this angel called Elise.He made up his mind. He will be her everything in this world. Marked and mated , this is the most sublime feeling he ever felt.“Hey, stop it!” she told him, taking him in her arms.“I can't,'' he said, kissing her shoulder. “How can I make it up to you?”Elise smiled at him and lifted his chin and said.“Forget the past. Let’s leave this moment without you becoming an ugly frog with puffy eyes. Alphas never cry. They act with honor and if they were wrong they will just start to do the right thing. Our past together represents only a few
After Patrick left with Sarah and Alex kidnapped Elise, on the battlefield Edward and Carson started to coordinate their warriors to clean the area. Even if he was the former king, Edward did everything in his power to help them.He also helps their own warriors that were wounded to leave from there.Maar just sat there in the middle of that chaos and looked around. It was her first time seeing a war. Her mate died in a similar war and now she had some strange feeling in her heart. She thought in the last years that it was Edward's fault for her mate's death. For calling him to fight for him.But today she just understood that her mate, Alex’s father , didn’t fight for Edward, but with him for a better world. A world in which she will feel safe after his sacrifice. What those men did today was something that moved her heart. They were ready to die without a second thought for their king. Because he was worthy. And for Sarah. Because she is the woman their king loves.Now she just stay
"Patrick!" Sarah mindlinked him when he started to walk towards her father. “End this quickly.”“Go back to the castle, princess. This is not something that you would like to watch.” he said, but all this time he is watching Pete Thompson.“I will stay here, Patrick. I need to see this with my own eyes and know that everything is over.” but in her heart she is just afraid that he will suffer something. She trusts him, but she knows her father.“He is your father” Patrick said and this time he turned his head to look straight into her eyes, to be sure that she will not have any remorse after everything ends here.“He is not my father” Sarah said “He is just a sperm donor.” and she is simply disgusted by him. “He never cared about me, about my mother, about anything. He was only interested in getting stronger and stronger. He sacrificed everything for it. In the end, even those who really loved him.”“You loved him too.” Patrick said.“Was is the key word here” and this time watching Pa
“Where is she?” Alex asked Carson as soon as he saw him.“In a safe place with her weapons. Let’s hope she knows what she is doing and she will not target you and kill you in the middle of the fight for the way you acted with her.“She won’t!” Alex said looking around trying to find her but he can’t see her.“She will never kill me. If we are mates she won’t let me escape that easy” and he is smiling saying that. “It would be too easy for me . She will play with me and reject me, making me feel miserable.”“Do you want her?” Carson asked and motions him where to stay, and to take his position in battle.“I thought that I was already clear about that.” and Alex squeezes his eyes when he sees that the rogues, drived by Pete Thompson, starts to show up from the forest.“No, you weren’t. You just acted like she owes you something and she should listen to you, when the truth is that she is as free as a bird in the high sky.”Alex kneels on one knee, ready to jump in the fight.“I want her.
"Is everything ready?""Yes, man." Carson tells Patrick and looks over the troops of warriors who have gathered in the courtyard of the royal palace. Even Alex's troops are here. About two thousand two hundred and sixty-eight professional fighters plus at least another six hundred members of the royal pack who, hearing about what was happening, dropped everything and came to protect Sarah.They heard many things about her. She is known in every pack of the kingdom for the way she helped the warriors during the war with King Varan. A healer is the greatest gift someone can receive in times of danger. How not to leave everything and come to help her?They would all have come to fight for her, but Patrick let only the strongest among them join, because neither he nor Sarah wanted to risk the lives of the people here."I'm ready too" Alex said entering Patrick's office, emanating power and looking like a god descended from the heavens, but before he could say anything Elise entered the do
