     These past few days have been terrible. People in my pack have been sending me sorrowful glances ever since I let myself out of my room. I just can't seem to get away. Whenever I sleep I see her and when I'm awake she is all I think about. Memories of her are everywhere, her scent is still lingering in my room and I fear the day it fades completely. I keep to myself and my beta has been keeping up on the paperwork. 

     Today someone from her old pack is being sent here to confirm her death and they need to speak to me directly since I am her mate. It angers me that someone from her old abusive pack is coming here but I can't stop it, it is required in order to confirm. I am now standing by the door waiting their arrival, they are already ten minutes late. Right then I hear a knock on the door. I open it revealing the wolf sent to confirm her death. One look my way and he was obviously able to tell. Let's just say I have not been taking the best care of myself. My hair is a mess, face unshaven, and clothes wrinkled, my face constantly set in a frown. 

     He asked me a few questions, when was the last time I've seen her, how long have we known each other, can I still feel her through the mate bond. The more questions he asked the bigger the knot in my throat grew and the harder it was to control myself. Any more questions about her and I would be on the floor crying my eyes out, which isn't a good image for an alpha. But she is my mate and I will grieve for her however I need to.

     Thankfully he left after saying a quick goodbye and I went back up to our room. When I reached it I grabbed one of her shirts, help it to me, and curled up closing my eyes. I remember the times when I would comfort her, her first time trying ice cream, or when something funny in a movie would happen and a smile would break out on her face and her eyes glowed with a happiness that wasn't usually there. Lastly I think of the time where she finally said my name and I saw my love for the last time. 

     I wish I could have found her sooner and gave her a better a life, she didn't deserve any of that and she especially didn't deserve to die so young. My whole pack is in despair, their luna is gone and they don't know how to handle it. I wish I was strong enough for them right now, but I just can't be. 

     My door is pushed open with a bang and light floods in making me squint my eyes. My beta is standing there and staring down at me. "Man, it's been two weeks, I know it's hard and I know you will never fully be healed from this loss, but listen to me. This isn't what our luna would want, she cared for you and seeing you like this would ruin her. Go take a shower, eat some food, open up the windows, and remember what she meant to all of us. We all miss her. When you are ready come down, the chef made your favorite dinner."  he shuts the door and I am back in my dark cave. 

     I decided to listen to what he said, Juliet wouldn't want this. I took a shower put some fresh clothes on and am now heading down the stairs towards the sweet smell of food downstairs. The chef warmed my food back up, handed me the plate and then left me there to enjoy the food. 

     I was about half way done when the door slammed open. "You!" The lady screamed. "How could you let my daughter die?! You are her mate, I thought you at least would be able to care for her! You killed her!" I feel my blood rush through my body and my claws start to elongate. I call for the guards through mind link and stand up towering above her. "I did not kill my precious mate." I growl out lowly. Her eyes darken and she jumps on me her claws scratching my face and body. I push her off forcefully and turn around. The guards run through the open door and pull her away. One stays behind though. "Are you okay Alpha?" 

     "I'm fine, keep better watch of her and never let me see her again." At that he bows and leaves.

     I didn't kill my mate did I? I couldn't get to her in time though. If I was there none of this would have happened. She would still be in my arms.

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while after ending the last chapter like I did. What do you guys think about it? Does anyone feel bad for Jake or is it his fault in some weird twisted way? I'll try to update soon.

Bye!!!
