Take You Down, Caitlin Valdez [ebook reader with internet browser .TXT] 📗

an annoying bitch, talking about all my problems with you."

She had no idea how much I was close to him.

She started to grab her bag but I stopped her, "Don't go. I'm fine with hearing all your problems."

She looked unsure, "Are you sure?"

I nodded. I wanted to hear what I did to her and how I made her felt even though I felt more guilty, I still wanted to hear more.

She sat back down, running her hand through my fur. "I don't want to ever see him again Ace. What if he humiliates me? What if he makes me break down in front of the whole school? I'm gonna move out of town and never come back. I never want to see him again. I just wanted to die and commit suicide when I found out he rejected me. If he's gone the who am I living for? I don't have a family anymore. Everyone in my family died. Why couldn't I die with them? Why did I have to meet my mate?"

She wanted to commit suicide? Because of me? Now I felt like a total jerk. I made her want to die?

"Tell me about your suicide," I urged.

"I had a dull kitchen knife with me and I was about to stab myself but Emma and Amber stopped me. I didn't understand. I remember taking crack and cocaine and maybe having a little overdose. The pain of rejection hurts so much. I wanted to get high and jump off a building. When Emma and Amber grabbed the kitchen knife from me, I remember banging my head against the sink, trying to die but it wasn't working so I ran outside and ran to the local building and climbed to the roof. I remembering jumping but just when I was about to die, Emma and Amber grabbed me and they started crying. I remember me screaming at them to let me go and to let me die but they didn't let go. I also remember cutting myself."

And when she stopped talking, I almost lost control of my wolf. She wanted to die because of me? She took crack and tried to jump off a 103 flight building? She wanted to kill herself with a knife? I felt like a horrible person. If my mate, if she died, it would be my fault.

Then she showed me something I never wanted to see again. She pulled up her sleeves and I saw the long cuts and I flinched, knowing that I am the reason for everything she did.

"I'm sorry," I murmured sincerely.

"I was hoping that I wasn't going to live. I wish I took more pills, I wished I went home earlier and killed myself before Emma and Amber came home. I wish I ran faster so I really had my chance to jump and no one would catch me. I wish I cut myself even more and bled to death. I wish I died and joined my parents," she said.

I couldn't take this anymore. I threw my head back and let back an angry howl. I was shaking with rage at myself as I bolted off into the forest without a word to her.

Right now, I couldn't have hated myself more. She could've died, and I thanked Emma and Amber so much for saving her.

Take You Down (Chapter 3)

CONNER'S POV

 

I had to resist her. I had to. I can't go running back to her. It'll hurt her more and going back to her and telling the world she was my mate wasn't going to help. She was going to die.

So what bastard?! She could've died already! She could've jumped off a 103 story building! She could've killed herself by stabbing herself! She could've token an overdose and ended up in a hospital and died! She could've died without us marking her and mating with her! my wolf roared angrily at me, staying away from her will just kill her more idiot!

My wolf never spoke to me like that. She's lucky she didn't die yet and you know what's preventing her from dying?! Me! She's not getting chased down by rogues and hunters! I retorted angrily.

That my wolf shut me out afterwards.

 

CASSIE'S POV

 

I watched the black wolf run off as I laid down on the grass, leaning my head on my bag, closing my eyes. I snorted at myself. Why did I even bother telling all those things to a wolf? It was stupid.

Wait! I can sense that Conner is an Alpha, so if he's an Alpha, the wolf must know him because dad does know the wolf! my wolf cried, what if he tells Connor?!

I growled in frustration. I decided to let everything slip and go to sleep in the forest no matter how dangerous it is.

When I was about to fall asleep, I felt something drape over. I was too tired to move so I didn't open my eyes as sleep consumed me.

Take You Down (Chapter 4)

A/N: Warning! There will be cursing!! I wanted to keep this book curse-free but the character gets really mad!

 

CASSIE'S POV

 

Bright light hit my face as I growled in annoyance. Why didn't I close the curtains when I fell asleep?!

When I opened my eyes, I took in my surrounding. What?! Why am I in the forest?! Who took me here?!

You idiot, you were here yesterday, said my wolf.

I groaned, ugh, stupid hangover. My head was throbbing painfully and I saw a jacket over me. I took it. It had no scent on it. I sighed as I pushed it aside. 

I wanted to skip school so badly. I couldn't even think straight. I hate hangovers.

"Cassie?" I heard a familiar voice call over.

"Argh! Not so loud!" I hissed, recognizing Emma's voice.

"You didn't do anything stupid, did you?" asked Amber, a bit too loudly for my liking.

"Lower your voice!" I hushed snappily, "My head hurts."

"Did you take care of yourself the whole time?" asked Emma.

"No," I said, "A wolf helped me out."

"Who?" asked Emma and Amber together.

"Shh!" I hissed, my head throbbing like crazy as I laid back down.

Then I shrugged, "His name is Ace."

"Oh," said Amber, "Now that you're sober, can you tell us why you did all that yesterday. We are not going anywhere until you answer us."

"Nothing," I said, I didn't sound convincing.

"Waiting..." Amber said as she and Emma made themselves comfortable.

"What happened Cassie? What's going on?" asked Emma softly, "We're always going to be here for you. Every step of the way."

I looked at them. I could feel the tears welling up, "I met him. I met him guys."

They looked confused for a second then they caught on. "Then why are you doing this?" asked Emma.

"He rejected me. What is wrong with me?! Is something wrong about me?! Am I ugly?! Am I fat?! Be honest," I sobbed.

They wrapped their arms around me, comforting me. "There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong about you. You are perfect," said Amber as Emma nodded in agreement, "Remember that. You are gorgeouus, beautiful, pretty, smart, funny, have an amazing personality, there are so many good and wonderful things about you. Never let yourself doubt that."

"Who's butt do I need to kick?" asked Emma and Amber together.

I shook my head, "You can't. You can't hurt him."

"Why?" they demanded.

"Because it's Conner," I said.

"Oh, that boy is so dead. Well, before that, let's get you home and let you get some rest. I'll tell the teachers you're sick," said Emma, helping me up.

I smiled at them, "Thank you so much guys. This means a lot."

"What are best friends for?" asked Amber grinning as we headed over to my house.

No one was home, as usual. My parents were always away for work. My dad was one of the world's most powerful lawyers and my mom was one of the world most richest models. Having them so powerful and rich, they gave me loads of money but sometimes, money can't buy happiness and I wasn't always happy with my life. And they past away but all the money in their bank accounts went to mine because of their wills. And now, in my bank account I have over five hundred billion in there. It was an ridiculous amount of money but once in a while, I donate a thousand over to the homeless shelter.

They helped me up my room, I tried to brush them off since I could climb up the stairs by myself, they didn't trust me. They also locked up the kitchen where the knives were and they locked up the medicine cabinet. Gee, they really don't trust me.

"Will you be okay?" asked Emma.

I smiled, reassuringly, "Yes mom."

They laughed, "Alright, you stay in here and if you're hungry just call one of the maids to make you something to eat okay? We some a boy's ass too whip," said Amber, "Be careful."

Then they started to head out my house as I sighed. I took the picture of me, my parents and my brother and stared at it. My brother was gone. I didn't even know where he was. He just disappeared one day without a trace. He was older then me by a year and he was a male version of me. I didn't even know how he looked like now. I'm seventeen and I haven't seen him in thirteen years.

Back then, the family was happy, all together, in one piece. But then the fire came along. I survived with my brother but he was the one that disappeared. He had pretty much the same features as me, people sometimes mistaken us for twins but he was a year older. He had the same dark blue eyes and the dark hair. I didn't realize how much I missed him.

I put the picture down, decided to head to my closet for a change of clothes.

 

EMMA'S POV

 

I was furious! How could Conner do such a thing to such an innocent girl?! That was so cruel of him. I stormed out of Cassie's house and headed for my car. I probably looked ready to kill and so did Cassie.

I stabbed my key into the ignition, and headed over to the school. It was time for lunch and I looked for Connor.

When I spot him, I stomped up to him, pushing away the sluts that surrounded him and shoved him against the nearest car, catching in off guard.

He growled at me but he didn't stop me. I raised my hands and slapped him across the face, "How dare you! How fucking dare you do that to my
