~Avery POV~
I was unbuckling his belt, and slowly pulled it off, letting it fall to the ground before unbuttoning his pants. I stared into those beautiful eyes as I slowly started pushing his pants down. However, like a spell was lifted off me, James' eyes dimmed over and my whole world came crashing down.
No, not yet.
"Rogues! Stay here, don't leave this room, I'll be right back." James placed a soft kiss on my lips, worry evident in his eyes.
"I love you."
"I love you too," I said and then swallowed a lump in my throat.
No... not yet, it's too soon!
"Wait Jam..." The door was slammed shut and James had taken off. This wasn't supposed to end like this, we were supposed to have more time.
"SHIT!" I screamed in frustration as I fell to my feet, and then the door opened up and a dress was thrown my way, landing in front of me.
"You started too soon! You were supposed to wait!" I screamed in frustration.
"I'm sorry but we were running out of time, we have to leave right now before they realize."
"I just wanted some more time..." I said as a few tears rolled down. I quickly wiped them away and knew that I needed to hurry. I got into the dress and ran to the closet, taking out the bag that I had packed. I opened it up and laying on the top were three letters.
Too James,
Too Alex,
Too Amber,
I placed James letter on his nightstand and handed the other two to her,
"Make sure they get these, Natasha." She nodded her head and took them, before offering her hand which I grabbed. As we were walking out of the bedroom, the thing that wasn't supposed to happen, did.
"Alex," I gasped as I looked at him standing there, in the hall. His hands were hanging at his sides. He didn't need to speak for me to know what he wanted to say.
"Please don't go." He said, his eyes pleading and he took a step towards me.
"I'm so sorry, but everybody seems so hell-bent on protecting me so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I'm doing what I have to to protect you." I said as I grabbed his hand.
"I won't let you leave. Nobody knows you're leaving, Avery. Stay, we'll figure everything out together," Alex said.
"I can't."
"And I can't let you go." His eyes were turning darker and I knew that he had no intention of stepping aside and letting me walk.
"Then please, forgive me for this." I stepped back and Natasha lifted her hand, with a flick of her fingers, Alex fell unconscious to the floor.
I kneeled beside him and kissed his cheek, before placing his letter beside him.
"I'm sorry Alex, but I won't allow any harm to come to my family. I promise this isn't forever."
I and Natasha walked out of the house and into the car that was waiting for us, as I had one leg in the vehicle, I turned around and took one last look at the first place that ever truly felt like home.
"I'll be back soon, I love you, James."
~James POV~
'Why aren't they dying?'
Anna yelled through the mind link as she fought a rogue while dodging attacks from another.
That was a good question, we had been fighting these rouges for twenty minutes. I had killed at least a dozen but as if they rose from the dead, they stood back up and continued the fight.
Even weirder was the fact that none of my warriors were injured, something was way off about this fight.
A grey rogue wolf came at me and I jumped up. I bit down on his neck, ripping off a piece of his flesh. Two others were charging at me. I dodged one while killing the other. I dug my canines into the second rogue's hind leg and ripped it clean off. This was a never-ending battle.
'Alpha, look to your left'
Damon said. He had stopped fighting and was looking at my side. He looked unbothered. I turned my head and saw why. The rogues were retreating.
'What the fuck?'
They weren't only retreating, they were dissolved, they disappeared like ashes spread into the forest.
'Alpha-'
'I have no fucking idea' I quickly answered.
Why would someone send a dozen rogue ghosts or whatever the fuck that was? Nobody got injured, nobody lost their life, it was like this was all some sort of a ...
'IT'S A DISTRACTION!'
Blade let out a growl loud enough to shake every member of the pack.
'Where's the Beta?'
Damon again asked. I looked around at the warriors and saw that Alex wasn't here, Blade let out a howl, which was responded not too long after, my brothers' wolf came running towards us.
Cesar stopped a few feet away from the rest of us and looked around, seeming confused by the absence of dead bodies and injuries.
'James...'
'What is it, Alex?'
'It's Avery, she left'
I stared at my brothers wolf, a deep desire too kill him for reasons unbeknown to myself.
Get home. Now!
