bed. I nodded in agreement.

I didn’t want to leave Alia here so I was glad she is coming with at least. He passed me a small black box and placed it in my hands. He looked at me, with watery eyes.

“No matter how far away I am I’ll be right here, I promise.” He said croaky. I had a small tear and opened the box, it was a beautiful locket, I opened it too see a photo of Dad and Alia. My heart melted. Pure perfection.

 

 

*Alex’s P.O.V*

It hurts to leave. I don’t want to but it’s the only way to support her. There’s nothing more important to me then my children. Sarah, much as it’s horrible to say is my favourite. She stuck through everything Angela thrown at her. Just to make sure I was okay. I and Angela had been married almost 15 years before divorcing. I was unhappy basically the entire time. But I wouldn’t change being with her because then I wouldn’t have Sarah, my pride and joy. Leaving seems to be getting harder. I spend an hour crying once a week. Not because I’m a sook but because I feel like I’m failing her. My father failed me. I don’t want to be like my father. See, we’re werewolves. But only males can be. My father was the leader of a pack called ‘the frightens.’ and he passed away two months ago. I now have to deal with the pack responsibilities. Being second in line sucks. I was always being told how to live my life, how to walk, to talk and my father used to beat me. I was 16 when I left. I met my first love, Cindy. We have a child together but Sarah doesn’t know. A son named Vern. I was terrified I’d turn into my father so I left. Cindy understood, luckily she was a very understanding person and she still speaks with me. As I was second in line I was allowed 2 children, but once one had matured I was allowed to have another. Vern was 15 when Mikky was born. Now his about to turn 30. But I wanted to not tell Sarah. If she knew my real age, my secret.. I’d lose her. Brodie left because his father was also a werewolf. But not an important one like me. Mikky knows everything because Brodie told her when she moved in with him. She promised me not to tell anyone, especially Sarah. Mark is one, but I know he isn’t aware I know. Luke was a part of my pack, not just a business partner. We've known eachother for a long time. his helping me protect Sarah from Angela. she knows it all, she knows the secret, she knows of my mistakes and I'm afraid she'll reveal it all. I know i should be honest with Sarah, but it eats me up the thought of loosing her. i cant imagine not having her in my life. She was my half, my angel.. Our laws were simple for us, humans weren't to know our existance. if they knew, they'd have to pledge, to our committee. which is me and my four assistances. Unfortunately I didnt wth Angela. That is one of my many mistakes. a pledge is when the comittee meets together with the human and basically we make them drink a formula that allows us to make a command that can never be undone. We can have commands but a werewolf is unable to ignore it if they choose, however this pledge they cannot. it was killing me to have these secrets. for 17 years, I've grit my teeth and delt with the consequences. but it feels like i cant escape this pain. i cant escape the fear i hold within. i sat on my bed staring at my suitcase. I didn't want to leave her, i didnt want her to feel unsafe. Thats the last thing I'd ever want. Ever. There it was, all packed readyu to go. These next 7 days are going to drive me insane. I'm lucky to have Luke helping me, and Mark. His a good kid. I can sense the good in him. Important wolves get gifts. so my father, was able to read minds. I on the other hand can sense behaviours in people. Yes, i sensed Angela as a bad person but i was, well old but to Sarahs knowlegde young and in love. I was in over my head marrying her. She can't change, if she could it would only be for worse.  

  

I struggle sometimes, trying to figure out if I am doing the right thing for Sar. I'm not often scared, not at all basically but I do fear one thing, hurting Sarah. I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. No matter what it takes. As I stood I grabbed the suitcase in my arm. I headed downstairs and out to my work car Luke organised me. Placing my suitcase in the car, I shut the door to go back inside. I could hear Luke and Mark laughing in the distance. They were coming to get Sarah, I was slightly relieved. I went inside and said my final goodbyes. This is driving me beyond mental.

"Take care Sar, the next week will fly by i promise." I said as I bear hugged Sarah.

"Dad I'll be fine. Enjoy your trip." Sarah laughed softly punching my arm. I can see she doesn't want me to leave. It's their in her eyes. Why do i have to leave?! Oh that's right.. Wolf buisness.

 

 

*Marks POV*

 

I walked up to my room quietly. Sarah's asleep on the couch and everyone has gone food shopping. I decided to go relax on my bed while i still can. As i entered my room i noticed my phone flashing, I walked over and seen I had 5 missed calls from a random number. It's not often my phone rings anymore, not many people have my number since changing it after moving here. My phone began ring again.

Me: Hello?

voice: Mark?

Me: Who's this?

Hannah: It's Han.

Me: What do YOU want?

Hannah: I'm sorry. For everything. You were the perfect boyfriend and all I did was treat you like crap. I'm sorry.

Me: I know, but that doesn't change anything.

Hannah: Do you remember how I gave your laptop back to you? Do you still have it?

Me: Yes, now skip to why you really called Hannah.

Hannah: I said I'm sorry, that's why I called. But I also called to tell you i wrote a note in your word document the day you left. Read it? I know you haven't otherwise I was sure you would have contacted me by now. Please read it and ring me back. We can figure this out. I love you.

 

With that she hung up. I was overwhelmed with emotions. Should i read it? I guess I might as well. I grabbed my laptop from the edge of the bed and opened it, luckily it was already on and fully charged. i scrolled through all my documents but found one titled 'Don't go- Han' so here goes nothing, I opened it and began reading.

 

"Mark. I'm sorry. I know what I done was stupid. I can't tell you it was an accident because I'd sound stupid. but it didn't mean anything. I felt abanded, you were leaving so I allowed vince comfort me. I knew before you that you were moving.. And thanks to me I broke your heart right before the move. Why? Because I'm stupid baby. I fucked up, badly. I love you, even though I didn't show it. Vince is nothing like you, I miss YOU. like a lot. I still have one of your jumpers and a shirt. Why? because I kept them to remind me of you. I have everything you've ever given or brought me. Like the necklace with the letter M that stands for Mark. I wear it everyday. I always will.

I'll be in Brisbane soon, please meet with me? I'll be staying with my cousin Dan, I think you'd know him? His a basketball player as well. Anyway, call me yeeah? I love you.

You're my forever. I'm your girl.Han xxx"

 

I slammed my laptop shut. Why did I not know about this note before now? Not that it changes anything. I've moved on. A bit quickly but that's besides the point. No, I don't want to meet with her. Hannah-Lee. I dated for over a year technically. She was tall, 6ft actually. This but the girl couldnt get a tan to save her life. She has blue eyes but dyes her hair red. She had faded freckes just on her cheeks. She's beautiful, but evil deep down. She always paraded around my mates. She always showed her body more then needed. Sure, she loved me. But no where near the amount I did her. It angers me when I think about how she slept with Vince. My BEST MATE. Well he used to be. He was lucky I was moving, I would have blown up and started laying into him severly. Yeah I know, that's not being the 'bigger man' but he would have deserved it! But how the hell do I avoid her? Especially if she'll be in Brisbane staying with Dan. I honestly don't think I'll get away with it. so I guess I'll just have to tell her straight. I decided I'll call her back.

 

Voice: Hello?

Me: Is Hannah there?

Voice: Is this you Mark?

My stomach dropped, it was him.

Me: Yeah. Now where's Hannah?

Vince: She's just talking with her Mum, look dude i'm sorry for what I did to you.

Me: What's with everyone saying sorry? Look I don't care anymore.

Vince: because we mean it, it was a mistake.

Me: The only mistake was me trusting either of you.

Vince: Dude I said- wait here's Hannah.

Hannah: Mark?

Me: Yeah, read the letter. but it doesn't change anything.

Hannah: Look I know, but I needed you to read it.

Me: Fair enough. Look I don't want to see you. Especially when you tell me how big of a mistake it was, yet Vince answers when I call? That makes sense.

Hannah: There's a reason for that! His dating Tayla. Myself and Mum were talking to her and I asked him to answer as he said the caller ID was on private. If I had known it was you I wouldn't have let him answer.

I couldn't help but laugh at this point. Tayla was Hannah's twin sister, whose now dating the guy Hannah cheated on me with. Talk about messed up!

Hannah: What' so funny?

Me: You. Look, I don't want to see you, if I do I'll be polite but don't expect me to go out my way to talk to you. I'm finally starting to get over you and what you did, don't drag me back into your crap. Bye.

 

With that I hung up. It's the first time I ever stood up to her. I mean literally, whenever we argued I always gave in even if she was wrong. I hated the way she made me out to be an idiot. If anything she was the idiot. by that I mean what type of person believes that if you don't eat one piece of gum a week your hair will start falling out? Hannah is that sort of person.

 

"Mark? Are you okay?" Sarah yawned as she entered my room. I nodded with a smile.

Yeah I'm not okay, but she doesn't need anything worrying her at the moment.

"Yeah I'm fine beautiful, how was your nap?" I smiled.

 

"It was nice, but if I slept any longer I'd be awake all night." She laughed. Hearing her laugh made me fell a ten tone better. 

"Come here, I want to give you a hug." I croaked out. She seemed confused with the tone I used but walked over to me without saying a word. 

I gripped her tightly as
