“Wonderful,” Catherine says. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” Kole replies.“It’s okay,” I tell him. “I’ll hear her out and then maybe you’ll let us be, right?” I ask. “You can leave us alone to do as we wish.”“Sure,” she shrugs. “Hear me out and I’ll let you decide what to do from there, once you have all the information you need.”It’s not exactly promising, but it’s a start at least. I feel bad though for the way it makes Kole look uncomfortable. It seems like he really doesn’t want me to talk to her. But I already agreed to, so Catherine and I start walking down the river while Kole stays behind.As we walk, I realize she can probably hurt me if she wants to. I have better odds of fighting one person instead of three, but it’s still a risk. I’m still not in the mood for a fight.“It seems like you really think you love Kole,” Catherine says.“Of course, I do,” I reply. “I love Kole. He’s my mate.“I’m sorry if I’ve gotten in between you two, that was never my intentio

“I’d stay away from him if I were you,” Catherine says. “I’m already in too deep, but I can tell that you’re not.“You still have a chance to get away from him before he ruins your life too. He certainly did ruin mine. He ended all the lives of the people he loved most.“And if he could do that to his own pack, imagine what he could do to you.”I don’t want to even think about it.I know Kole could kill me if he wants to. He could destroy me in so many different ways. He’s stronger than me. Faster than me.He won’t though. I know that he’ll never hurt me. I trust him.I still want to talk to him though. Not because I believe her, but because I want to get to the bottom of this. I need to get to the bottom of this.I start walking back to Kole and Catherine doesn’t follow me, thankfully. I’m a little surprised at that. If she does think she’s telling the truth, then I would assume she’d want to come with me to make sure Kole also tells me the truth.It’s simply more proof

KOLE’S POV“How could you do something like that?” Kierra asks me, horrified.She’s looking at me like I’m a monster and I can’t blame her.“I ask myself that every single day,” I say. “And I still don’t have an answer. There is no good answer.”“I just… I can’t…” Tears form as she tries to scramble for words and I feel awful for making her feel this way.I feel even worse about what happened to my pack. How could I do something like that to them?“I’m the reason they’re dead,” I admit, as everything within me hardens so I can face this.It’s difficult to admit to, but it’s the truth. And I deserve the pain this will bring me. I deserve every last bit of it.I know Kierra is going to leave me. Anyone would leave me after that, but especially her. Especially considering her pack was also murdered.I should’ve stayed away from her. This is only going to cause us both so much pain.It wasn’t really my choice though, I know that. I couldn’t have stayed away from her even if I t

KOLE’S POVI return to the only place I know that feels like home, even though it’s just a shadow of what once was. I can’t help but wonder if going here hurts me or helps me. But this is where I end up each time.Back at the beginning. Back at the end. I can’t escape this place. I can’t escape my mistakes and I know I never will.I fall to my knees in the middle of the grove, under the pink leaves of the cherry trees. And I feel so weak. I’m so drained. I’m devastated.“Do I deserve to die?” I ask the ghosts. They never answer.“I’m sure you think I do,” I say. “I deserve to die after what I did to you. I deserve to be punished. I deserve to be unhappy for the rest of my life.“That’s why he left me alive. He left me to pay for my mistake by living without you. He left me here so I’d have to suffer each day.“And I… I miss you so much. I miss all of you. I’m so deeply sorry for everything.”I bow my head hoping that somehow they’ll hear me. I know they would never forg

“Your mother seems like a wise and wonderful woman,” I say, as I step out from behind the trees.After I left Kole, I didn’t want to go back to my pack quite yet. I’m still not sure how I’d ever face them.So, I came here.Maybe I knew I’d find him here.Maybe deep down I knew there was more to the story.Whatever the reason, I’m glad I came. I can’t be mad at him for what he did. I can’t resent him for something his family has forgiven him for.“She was,” Kole says, as he stands. “She still is I suppose, wherever she is now. What are you doing here?”“It’s a peaceful place,” I say. “And I needed some peace.“Plus, we’re mates. I think that has something to do with it. Life brings us together because we’re meant to be together. You know that.”“I do,” he says as he walks towards me.My heart beats faster as he does so. I just want to be near him. I need to be near him.“I’ve always known that,” he says.“I know,” I reply. “I wish you would’ve known your worth all along to

“Get away from her!” Troy says. Our beautiful moment is broken by his demands as Kole and I part reluctantly.“Kierra is my mate,” Troy continues, his eyes red with fury. “She’s always been mine and she will always be mine.” Troy turns to me and I see all his pain, which is concerning. It’ll give him the kind of strength we don’t want him to have right now.“I messed up,” Troy says. “I get that. I should’ve stood up for you more. I should’ve stood up for us. I shouldn’t have let other people get in my head like that.“But I’m sorry, Kierra. I truly am sorry. And if you give me another chance, I’ll do so much better.“My priorities were messed up before. I didn’t even realize that at the time, but they were. I was focused too much on status, popularity, power. All the things that aren’t as important as the bond with my mate is.“I’m going to put you first, Kierra. I’m going to show you how much I love you. Things will be so much better.”It’s all the things I wanted him to say

CATHERINE’S POV“What happened to you?” I ask, as I run up to the fallen wolf.He shifts into a human that I don’t recognize.“I was attacked,” he says. “I was attacked by a vile, awful rouge. And…”His face pales as a different sort of pain overcomes him.“I was attacked by a rouge and by the woman I love,” he says. “I thought he manipulated her and that’s why she’s turned on me. I still think that’s true.“But maybe it’s more than that though because she’s the one who pushed me off the mountain.” He pauses and looks up at me. “Can you believe that? The woman I love pushed me off a mountain. “I’ve known her for awhile now and we were in love. We were finally reaching that sweet point where we could be together. “And all of a sudden this man we’ve never met before comes in and suddenly they’re in love. Somehow he casts this weird spell on her and she forgets all about me. She pushed me off a mountain!”The story sounds familiar. Too familiar. “Is this woman’s name Kierra

“Good morning, beautiful,” Kole says. It’s something so simple, something said across mornings everywhere. A bit cliché even.But when it comes from his lips like that, it sounds like the most special thing in the world. Anything is extra wonderful coming from him. I’m just grateful for every second I get to spend near him. I’m grateful for every word.“Good morning,” I say. “It’s lovely to wake up to you.”“It’s even lovelier waking up to you,” he tells me. “Especially since we now know that no one can creep up on us again.”We lay on the mountain top still since we decided to spend the night here. It was a good decision.Now, we can see anyone who might be coming for us. And we can tackle them together like we did with Troy.“I’m kind of gross though,” I say. “Is there anywhere nearby where we can shower?”“I know of a waterfall,” Kole suggests.His eyes sparkle at the thought. A waterfall sounds wonderful. Being in the water with Kole sounds even better.“Would you like s
