Finding You

Amerie

Amy

As much as it hurts, as much as my heart shatters, I keep reminding myself that she is his mate and I can't get in the way of that.

I lost.  I pondered heading for the front door.

"Teacher Amy."  I was stopped before I got the chance to even touch the door knob.  

Turning around I was met with Braydon's third in command Greg, "And where are you going?"

"Home."

"Alpha Braydon mind link me just now and ask me to lead you to your room."

Braydon did he now.  He couldn't even tell me so himself.  At that moment I wanted to get angry, I wanted to cry and punch something and just like that he is just going to toss me aside.

Sighing I have myself only to blame though.  So I have no right to get angry.

"Well I have a home but if he is worried about me not coming to class don't worry I will be here on time bright an early."  I smiled.

He seemed to be however deep in thought probably mind linking the Alpha.  "It's Alpha's orders."

"I'm sorry but correction he is your Alpha not mine.  So I can choose to defy him if I wish and if you wish to tell him go ahead.  He has no control over me than I do over him, do you understand Mister..."

"Cobb, Greg Cobb."  He finishes.

"Mister Greg Cobb.  Now please if you'll excuse me."  I turned around only to face him again, "Please when your Alpha is fully rested tell him I'll see him tomorrow at school.  Have a good night Mr. Cobb."

"But it's late and you know they are things that go bump in the night."

Is that suppose to scare me, hardly.  I don't believe in childish fairy tales that parents tell their kids so they can go to bed early.

"I can manage."  I opened the door and began my long journey home.

The woods looked extremely dark at night.  

Braydon

Walking up with a cold sweat, fear escaped my dry throat.  Another horrible dream.  It felt too real.  It's like I feel their screams their pain, their agony.

"Babe."  Rachel placed a hand around me, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's nothing."  Regardless if it's anything I had to do more research what my dreams could mean.

Rising from my bed Rachel pouted, "Babe please come back to bed."

"I have something urgent to do.  You get some rest."  I gently kissed her cheeks trying to soothe her down.

Heading down stairs I was met with a very scared third in command, "Greg what is it?"

"It's teacher Amy."  He stuttered not meeting my eyes.

Somethings happened and just remembering what I had done to her got me feeling all sorts of guilt.  I shouldn't have dismiss her like that.  Why I chose to be with Rachel at that time was my own doing.

I just couldn't bare to see my mate broken.  It hurt me and Seff wanted nothing more than to hold her in our arms despite the fact that she had betrayed me.  Stupid mate bond.  I cursed once again.

"What about her?"

"She left?"

"Oh, is that al...she what!"  My voice thundered at the end realizing she left.  My eyes looked out the window it was still night, had she gotten home safely.  "How long ago?"  I was now clenching my jaws trying to refrain from punching him.  After all I had told him to give her a room on the fourth floor.
