Alpha Rylan 32
~DawnThe moment I could no longer hear Kace's footsteps, I was on my feet. It's not Kace's fault at all. It's mine. I need to get back to my room, because at least there, I can't smell his scent, or even accidently fall asleep in his bed. So, I'll go back, shower, and start plotting a way to get Rylan back. No one sees me on my way back. Once I'm to my room, I make sure my door is closed, before I take some clothes from the drawer, and take them to the shower. I feel so guilty for everything that has happened, my feet dragged, as if shackles were locked around my ankles. What if this was Fate's idea? If I never get Rylan back, then I will be forced by nature to be with Kace. I don't think I could live with that decision.I shower everything off me. Washing my hair, my face, my entire body, I try rid of any ounce of Sinful on my body, wishing my troubles would was down the drain with it. Who even is Sinful? What does he look like when he isn't stealing other people's bodies. Once

~DawnA sense of dread I've never felt before draped over me. I haven't seen those golden eyes of desire for three years. When I knew him, we were both young and stupid, before he was announced as Alpha. He had roped me in with the charming words he spun, and his addictive touch. Our kind of, but not really, relationship we had established was mutually beneficial for both of us, however, there was nothing like love there.He's part of the reason why mother decided we should move away from the Desire Pack. To save me from the temptations of boys like him.He's not a boy anymore. He's grown up, and almost a completely different person.No one else seems to notice the tension between us, as Rylan stands, walking over to Asher to shake his hand. He has no idea. At least I hope he has no idea. Rylan doesn't even flinch, as Asher's gaze remains on mine for a good second, radiating with a fierce, uncompromising intelligence. Knowing. Then he drags that gaze to Rylan, as he smiled lazily.Gl

~DawnLucy looked practically unrecognisable. There's a feral look in her eyes, as she silently slides back into her chair, right after Kaden had let her go. She trembles under everyone's scrutiny, looking as if she had been shocked into utter silence. I am too. That wasn't my sister who attacked Kace...My mind goes to Sinful, but I brush it off. Sinful has to be done with me. I haven't had a chance to speak with Millicent just yet. At this point, I would rather perhaps Rylan or Kaden talk to her instead. She's the Goddess. It's not necessarily an easy conversation to have. Kace looks at me for help, as he says, "I don't understand..."I want to tell him neither do I, because that's the truth. But right now, I'm ignoring my other mate as he holds the side of his face that bleeds profusely, I focus on my sister. Right now, I know her well enough to know she's not about to speak. She has that drawn off look about her that usually only appears when she's shy, when I'm the one who has

~Dawn If Rylan's hand wasn't against my back I wouldn't have stepped into the room. I could see her the moment I looked up from my moving feet. She sits casually in the middle of the room, watching myself and Rylan as we enter. Her posture is painfully impeccable, her gaze sharp and direct. She's here for a reason...to find out mine. There are two chairs placed in front of her, ready for us to sit down on. Not looking at her for less than a second, I take a seat, Rylan taking his right beside me. When I look up at her, I see...a normal girl.The mystical beauty that had once been explained to me isn't here. Her eyes have been shredded of every inch of soul that she might have previously possessed. The darkness of her hair either has always been like that, or wasn't, I'm not sure. She doesn't look right, and I know instantly why. This isn't the Moon Goddess. This is Millicent, the one who had her powers taken from her. As per her request. She doesn't say anything for a moment. Ins

~Dawn"Seriously?" I splutter, not sure if I could really understand it. Who decided this? Who was the sick person who decided that Sinful and the Goddess would be at all compatible together? I can tell by the look in Millicent's eyes that she doesn't want this at all, but the undeniable bond that even I once questioned has done its work, and she has no other choice but to fall for it. She nods solemnly. "I've long since accepted it. Now, it seems, he wants more than that. He wants me to admit it.""I'm so stupid," I mutter. "I would never have made that deal if I knew this.""You don't have to worry. He can make me admit my love to him, but he can't make me want to be with him, which I assume is the end goal," Millicent says confidently. I have to admire her backbone, as I glance at Rylan, who was coming back into the room. He's not Sinful, I must remind myself. My mate actually has a heart. Even though I don't want to continue bringing up, but I have to. Sinful's threats to my mat

"She's dead," I breathe. "He killed her."It took a moment for Rylan to register what I meant. While he blankly stares at me, I realise how badly my heart hurts. Lucy, my baby sister. It's not fair. "Oh Dawn, I'm so sorry," Rylan apologises. I'm glad he isn't bringing anything else up, instead letting me fall into his arms in grief. He could ask who did it, and why, but instead he only holds me, letting me finally cry. I'm still numb. I know this is just an automatic reaction, that won't hit until later, when I notice her absence for real. Right now though, I have no idea how to handle this all. Not until I can look Kaden and the eye and ask him why. All of a sudden, a knock on the door draws me away from Rylan, as I wipe my tears away. It's the doctor."We haven't found any clear reason as to why she wasn't woken," the doctor informs us solemnly. I grit my teeth. If Millicent doesn't wake up, this will never end. I'll never be able to escape the confines of the Vengeance Pack. Sh

*Two Weeks Later*~Dawn"She's your sister, Dawn, why are you so worried?"I can't explain it. The idea of my sisters being risen from the dead is daunting. Will she look the same? Will she get her body back? Nothing in my mind is coming together to make sense at all. Instead, it has me stressing out that the sister I knew won't be the same when Death brings her back. Lucky for me, I won't have to meet Death. From what has been described of her, she doesn't seem like the...nicest immortal to exist. "It's so many things," I mutter, looking up at Rylan who crouches in front of where I sit, hands on my knees. He's been there for me all week. If I hadn't gotten Lucy back, I don't know what would have happened to me. I doubt I would be here, that's for sure. "Everything will be fine. Once she is here, we will go back to the Purity Pack, life will be restored, and we can attend the mating ceremony," he says. I know he is trying to be reassuring, but the cold, dark feeling in my stomach
Alpha Rylan Epilogue
~RylanDear Rylan,I know this is hard to hear, after everything. It's not as simple to explain as I thought it would be, when I picked up this pen to write to you. I've always known that you were too good for me, and that you deserve better. I know you won't agree with me right now, but one day you will realise. The decision was made when you marked me. I knew then.I will leave, and neither of us will get sick. Sadness is a given, but we can survive that, and move on. I ask you please not to pursue us. Lucy and I can't be here, but you must. I can't explain it, I just have to ask you to trust me, and to understand that I don't belong here. Someone once told me that no one should feel justified to stay with their mate. You can hate me. I understand. What you don't just yet, is the reason why I have to do this. At the end of the day, it's to protect Lucy. Here, I can't do that. Thank you for trying. I'll miss you, mate. DawnI crush the note within my fist, having found it on
