Aprils POV

"Wait.. What?" I ask in shock.

He remains silent while giving me a pained look.

"Dylan Joe Lane! How do you know NW? And more importantly what do you mean they're waiting for us?" I ask fearing the answers he'll give me but I just have to know.

"I'll tell you everything you need to know but not here, we might wake your mate and the alpha up and they'd try to stop you from leaving and I'd really hate to kill them." He says and I feel a shiver running down my spine, not the good kind. I don't know this guy in front me he's cold and seems heartless unlike the happy caring Dylan that I have grown to love and care for.

I already know that he's working with NW because he's taking me to him, I just need to know the why..

Why would he betray me like that? Is he the one that has been sending the notes? How long has he been working for him? Did-

"We need to go NOW!" He almost growls ending my train of thought.

"Fine."

He opens the door for me and leads me into the dark forest, there are no stars out tonight and the moon isn't bright tonight either considering the fact that its a crescent moon.

He leads us back to the mansion and I start feeling guilty when I see it because I had promised Jace I'd see it tomorrow with him. Damn... Am I ever gonna see him again? If I do die tonigh-

"You're not going to die tonight." Dylan says.

Right! I forgot he could read my mind with the bond we apparently share.

We reach the gate and Dylan pays off the guards and they open the gate for us, there's a a car waiting for us outside and we get into the back seats.

"Dylan! How've you been?" The driver asks.

"I've been better." He says while scratching the back of his neck.

Its just the three of us, no guards.

"Why didn't you bring a guard? What if I decide to jump off this car and just run and disappear?" I ask.

"First of all, you came on your own free will."

"Its not like you gave me much of a choice now did you?" I interrupt.

"Don't interrupt me again! Secondly, you forget I know you and I know you're tired of running." He says and I just remain silent because its actually true.

I'm so tired of the threats and the running, the bloodshed and the secrets. Ugghh! I just want to know who I am, who my parents were and why they abandoned me. I want to know why the moon Goddess appeared to me and gave me a warning about being careful in my search for the truth "because I shall awaken monsters long forgotten."

I want to understand why Dylan is on NWs side but more importantly I want to know who NW is.

"He's my mate." He says reading my mind.

"Wait.. What?" I ask in shock. How? When?

"Yeah. When you accepted Jason as your mate its like you forgot about me, you spent more time with Jason and Esmeralda and I felt lonely. I was happy for you of course but I wanted what you had to. I was kind of jealous but at the same time I was so damn proud of you for letting your past with Jake go. I never said anything because I didn't want to make you feel guilty and plus I didn't want to be selfish and hog you all to myself but honestly I missed spending time with you and it being just the two of us." He says giving me a sad smile.

"I'm sorry Dylan. I was so consumed with what was happening to me I didn't realise what was happening to the people around me." I say feeling guilty that I had neglected him.

"Its okay because when I met Nathan I understood exactly how you must have felt." He says dreamily.

"Um... Nathan?"

"NW stands for  Nathan Wesley."

"Ooohhh.. It still doesn't explain why you're leading me to my death."

"I was running a pack errand in a nearby town when we met, my wolf was so happy and so was I. Goddess he was so beautiful all I wanted to do was jump his bones and apparently so did he. I delayed the errand and we spent the whole weekend together in total bliss. We made love talked about our hopes and dreams and got to know each other. It was heaven 😍." My heart warms at how happy and in love he looks.

"I told him about you because I mean why wouldn't I ? That's where it all went to hell. He told me I must bring you to him and when I tried to refuse he said he'd reject me. I couldn't let that happen after seeing what the rejection did to you and also after experiencing true happiness and love for the first time in my life.. I didn't want to let that go and I didn't want to betray you either. I'm sorry April, truly I am but just know I won't let any harm come to you." He says and I empathize with him .

"Its okay, I understand. You had to do what you had to do." I say and pull him into a tight embrace. At first he freezes but then he quickly relaxes and reciprocates it, I don't let him know how hurt I feel by his betrayal.

"Thanks April. I really thought you'd be mad at me and hate me." He says vulnerability clear in his voice.

"Never.. I love you too much and if I knew I was in the way of your happiness I would've left to go meet Nathan a long time ago. I will admit that I'm kind of hurt you didn't tell me." I say the last part honestly.

"I'm sorry. I just didn't want to ruin your happiness."

"Its okay .... I understand.." I say and I hug him tighter because if I were in his position I'd probably would have done the same.

"Really?" Snow asks sarcastically.

"No. But it does lessen the hurt to think I would've made the same decisions he did." I know she's hurt too by this but she's blocking her emotions.

"Thanks for being so understanding." Dylan says after a while. I fake a smile and say:

"Anytime.. If I'm gonna die in a few hours we might us well make peace... I don't want you feeling guilty or having regrets when that happens."

"You're not going to die! I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you're not harmed." He tries to assure me but I've already accepted my fate.

"We're here." The driver says.

"PS. I left Jason a note telling him everything and where we are."   He mind links me so that the driver won't hear him.

"Thank you."

"PS. Before we leave this car do you know why he wants me 'cause its clear that he doesn't want me romantically." I say with a laugh.

"Its not in my position to tell."  He says and leaves the car.

He opens the door for me and I get out.. Its too dark for me to see the house from outside, it has a ghost vibe to it and there are no lights emanating from the house.

"Dylan." I call out.

"I'm here." He says and takes my hand in his.

He leads me to the house and I try sniff out how many wolves there are and from the looks of it they're about ten.

We reach the front door  and we are met by a guard on the door.

"Welcome Alpha." He says and I stare in shock. Of course his mate is an alpha and that would make him alpha too because they are both male.

The guard opens the door for us and Dylan leads me inside.

Some parts of the house has candles to help illuminate the house but not so much that the candle lights can be seen from outside, the house looks more like a home on the inside than it does on the outside but it seems no one has lived here in ages

There are paintings hung up on the hallway walls that have become home to spiders , the air is thick with dust and there's a strange smell that's coming from every direction, its suffocating.

Dylan then leads me upstairs and opens the second door to his right.

"This is where you'll sleep for the remaining hours of the night. I have to go do something, Be safe." He says and leaves me in the room.

Its kinda ironic that he tells me to be safe when his mate is out to get me for some reason.

I turn around and see the two candles on the dresser that gives me a better view of the room. There's a well made bed at the center of the room,  pictures on the dresser but I'm too tired to see them. This room seems cleaner than the rest of the house, its not suffocating at least it seems more welcoming but what's the use if I'm just gonna die tomorrow?

I take off my jacket and place it on the chair next to the dresser, I then take off my shoes and slip into bed and hope for better days as I fall asleep.
