The sky was so bright...

The birds were at flight...

I found myself in the middle of grasslands where Cerberus and Ark went through to get to the lake where Ark offered me a torturous swimming lesson. I could hear the faint laughter of my mate and my body led me to him slowly. He was there...swimming happily as if he had no care of the world....that was until he saw me and his bright smile was replaced with a frown.

"What are you doing here?" he stated bitterly.

"Ark-"I was cut off when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

I turned my body around and found Drake giving the same frowning expression. What the hell was he doing here? What the hell was happening? I can't remember anything...

"I thought I told you to get away from my husband?" he seethed. I was confused and fucking hurt. What the hell was he saying? When did me and Ark divorced? Was divorce even allowed between married wolves? He told me he fucking loved me and that he was lucky to have me as a mate. What the hell was happening?

"Kid, let's just give up, Ark doesn't love us anymore..." Cerberus drawled like he didn't care at all.

I can feel a growing hole in my chest from all the negative emotions swirling in my heart. I felt like I was about to get a mental breakdown. My breathing became fast and my hands began to shake in anger.

"What the fuck are you saying? Did you lose your balls?!" I growled at him angrily. Cerberus was not like this. He wouldn't give our mate up; he would fight for him till death!

Cerberus started messing in my head with discouraging words. I covered my ears and squeezed my eyes shut.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed. This pained feeling was unbearable.

"Give up...just die...our mate doesn't love us anymore..."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I shouted. My heart felt like it would explode any second now and my eyes just pushed the flow of tears out.

Why?

Why?!

WHY?!

"It's not worth it anymore...Our mate doesn't love us..."

My eyes began to water as my will began to fade.

"That's right...I don't love you anymore Luka," I heard Ark mutter.

I opened my eyes and found Ark already in front of me and with Drake hugging his naked body from behind. "I don't love you anymore...You are the worst mate. You are nothing compared to Drake. You are trash...." He stated and a smirk formed on his lips. I took a step back and held on to my chest.

No...

This wasn't true...

Ark would never say these things...

No!

"This isn't real! This is just a dream!" I growled.

"I don't love you...I reject you..."

I bellowed in pain from his hurtful words. My eyes focused on the sweet yet poisonous smile of my mate. Nothing hurt more than hearing him hate me and reject me.

Was I really not good enough?

I took another step back and my body fell into the pool of water. I begin to sink and see the darkness of the deep water consume me.

My hope...

My dreams...

My heart....

Were all starting to disappear...

Maybe this was for the best...

I should die...

There was nothing to fight for...

Nothing to hope for...

Nothing to dream for...

Ark doesn't love me anymore. I don't have any purpose in life...

This was the end...

A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed the ending. Comment and vote?

Nyahahaha kidding!

===========================================================

"Luka..." I heard a child whisper in my ear and then a sudden pinch on my cheek and a harsh pull snapped me from my sleep. I noticed that my eyes and cheeks were wet as well as the pillow I was laying on.

I must have cried....

Still...

How I was glad that it was all a dream.

I slowly sat up and winced from the pain of my body. I felt so tired and so heartbroken. My dream just added to my worry. I wonder if Cerberus saw that? Usually, wolves had the same dream as their humans.

"I was dreaming of me humping Icius, see?"

Cerberus sent me the image of him and Icius having sex making me cover my eyes even though I can still view it in my mind. Geez, I can never get used to that.

I heard someone clear their throat and found Sciath sitting on a high chair beside my bed. He was holding a newspaper in his hands while he was looking at me with a bored expression.

Jesus...

This kid was really weird...

But Ark...

My eyes widened as I recalled what happened. I quickly scrambled off the bed only for my face to meet the floor. My ribs felt like they were about to break again as I released a pained scream.

"Calm down idiot. Your ribs aren't fully healed yet and you seem to be a slow healer," Sciath deadpanned.

"Where's my dad? What happened? How long was I out?" I bombarded him with questions.

"Your dad is downstairs scolding the dimwitted, narrow-minded, namby-pamby rookies; some rookies do not want to join the mission and they are led by Rogers who is, mind you, an insecure, self-loving, and selfish, weakling and you are out for 17 hours, 15 minutes and 55 seconds," he informed in one breath and a monotone voice. I could sense some annoyance in his voice when he mentioned that loser, Rogers. What game was he playing now? After insulting my mate and getting his ass kicked during the first day of training I thought he would have at least a bit of shame.

"Where are they?" I asked Sciath. I slowly attempted to stand up, only to fall on my knees again. My healing was slow; I should at least have the strength to stand up. Was Drake's damage really that bad?

"Oh shit, I forgot to aid your healing!" Cerberus exclaimed.

"You are a Grade-A most stupid and irresponsible werewolf ever. How the hell did you forget to help my body heal?"

"Hey! I was mourning for our mate too you know?" he defended.

"Shut up and just help heal my body," I sighed.

I heard the door of the room open and Kade entered with a tray of food. He wore a worried expression when he saw me on the floor. "Alpha! Do you need help?"

Help?

Do I need help?

Bitch, noooooooooooo.

I don't need help!

Let me rot here and die.

Let me just wait for a blessing!

Fuck you man!

"No idiot, I'll just crawl my way down. I'm good at crawling anyway. I'm a professional worm crawler," I wheezed out the last part when my injuries started complaining.

"Aw, don't be like that Alpha, here, let me lend you a hand," he chirped.

"Sure, make sure to break it for me."

"Not literally!" he whined.

Kade placed the tray of food on the bed and gently raised me up, placing my arm over his shoulder. "Take me to where Rogers is..." I stated.

Kade's face was painted with concern. He looked at Sciath who was sipping a glass of milk. "I don't think that is a good idea. You might just attack him and you're not fully healed."

"You think I care? I want to know why he is influencing the other rookies to be cowards. We are the only pack under the Glacier Kingdom that Ark and the royal family can trust for now. We are the only ones who know the truth of what was happening and we are supposed to aid our Prince, my mate in this battle! We are losing time, Kade, we need to act now!" I shouted angrily.

"Sheesh Alpha, say it don't spray it. Calm down, I'll take you there already," he grumbled when he knew that I had a point. Kade and I walked towards the meeting room of our pack. There, we saw my dad scolding Rogers and the other rookies who had sour faces.

It was mind-bugging that they wore that kind of expression in front of the Alpha of this pack. My dad could have killed them in a blink of an eye but the problem was, my dad was not that kind of Alpha.

He wouldn't kick out disobedient wolves and thus, the population of our pack was always number one around the world. My dad was merciless when it came to stranger packs but when it came to his own pack; he acted as a spoiling father. But to be like that in front of an Alpha, Rogers and the others should act proper. They should feel the power of my dad and submit to him.

This was proof that they could be a future threat to the pack...

But...

I need all the help I can get.

The veterans and my dad were entrusted to take care of the town in case of an invading pack so we can only take a few veterans in battle. If we lose half of the rookies, we wouldn't be much help in the volcano.

"Rogers," I called out. My father's shouting stopped and all eyes focused on me.

"Oh, if it isn't the weakling future Alpha of this pack, how are you? You look like shit."

I clenched my jaw to control my burning rage. "Yeah, and you all look like you are ready to shit your pants if you meet a fiery wolf. Is that why you guys want to abandon the mission?"

Rogers and a few of them look taken aback. Rogers frowned and fixed his glasses. "We are merely trying to survive."

"By what? Hiding behind veteran warriors' backs? Don't fucking play with me."

Rogers looked pissed off. "Don't act so great Luka. Look at yourself; do you see what those monsters can do to you? I won't spare a bone just to protect a prince who seems like he abandoned us because he was scared!" he growled. Was that how they viewed Ark's departure with Drake? Did they think that Ark cowered? I lowered my eyes and clenched my fists.

What was Ark doing anyway?

He could have fought with Drake and saved himself.

It was funny that even I don't know what my mate was thinking.

What were you doing now Ark?

What were planning?

Did you really abandon me?

You were supposed to be my Luna...

You were supposed to be by my side...

Where were you?

"Don't let this kid get to you...Trust our mate. I know I said that I was mourning for Ark and Icius but...I still trust that they have something in mind. I saw how Ark looked at you when you were at your worst...he loved us, he was angry that we were beaten up by that asshole, so stop thinking that he doesn't love us anymore. He does...I can feel it, can you?"

A smile broke through my lips. Yes...I can feel Ark within me. Why was I fucking stupid to even misjudge Ark's actions? He had plans. I just know it. "I thought the only thing you could feel is your dick," I insulted.

"Well my dick throbs the same time my heart does, the difference is, my dick can shoot!"

I rolled my eyes at him. I focused my attention to Rogers and the other wolves. Who needed them? I sure don't. What I needed and what Ark needed were quality help. Quality was better than quantity and it was clear that Rogers and his companions were out of quality.

"You know what? Go, I won't fucking force you to come with us," I told them. They all looked at me with confusion.

"Luka, what are you saying son?" my dad asked and walked to my side.

"I know I'm not that strong as Ark or Drake and I know that I am not your Alpha but with the attitude you are showing to my dad, to our Alpha, I can tell that you are all out of quality," I spat. "You are cowards; you are showing signs of betrayal not only to the Glacier pack but to our pack as well. We don't need you, I don't need you, Ark doesn't need you. If you can't fight for your future luna, for the pack that have merged with ours then you don't deserve to be werewolves of this pack!" I growled. They all look conflicted inside, even Rogers but the bastard still was an asshole.

"We...don't need this pack. We can live on our own!" He snarled. Well weren't you a stubborn motherfucker?

"Then by all fucking means, GO!" I shouted. "Run away while other wolves fight for the future generations, run away when all are dying and reminiscing their days with their family, run away when it is too late and when all is lost! I know that Ark may look like a coward to all of you but I trust that my mate has plans, he is the smartest person I know and he wouldn't just give up. I know some of you have not met your mate and I can understand if you don't feel the same pain like I do but...I can't lose my mate now when we are having pups...I still want to be a husband and I want to feel what it is like to be a father. The possibility of the success of this mission is small but...I will still fight while I'm breathing. I have my wolf to support me. It is better to fight even when you have no chance than to run away when the battle hasn't even started," I stated.

Rogers was opening his mouth to say something but he was cowering to do so. I can see that he was smitten by my words though.

I hope so...

Damn, I should be an inspirational speaker.

"This is getting nowhere," I heard Sciath speak from the back. He went in front of me and grabbed all of their shadows from the floor like they were a bunch of ropes in his hand. He raised his arm and all of them were up in midair.

"Join us or die."

Kade burst into laughter. Sciath started to smash their bodies from wall to wall.

He was cruel...

"Okay okay! I was going to say yes lately!" Rogers shouted.

Sciath continued to violate them. I think he was only doing this to have fun...

"I will punish you first for annoying me...SUFFER!" Sciath declared. Dad, Kade and I, backed up to the door and left Sciath do his thing. We wouldn't want him to pour his anger to us anyway. We went to the living room and sat on the sofa.

Now...we need a plan and Ark was right...we need a blueprint.

Kade gasped from his seat and he was fussing over his phone. "Shit! I got a message from Prince Ark!" he said. My eyes widened.

"What? Where?" dad questioned.

"From Facebook; he sent me a blueprint of the place," he replied and showed us the picture. I wonder where Ark got the phone? Hell, he was clever so anything was possible with him. He moved fast though so we have to keep up with him. Shit, I can feel my adrenaline rush!

Hold on Ark.

We're coming!

"I told you he had something in mind!" Cerberus cheered.

"We need to gather our equipment then, I need to negotiate with a certain fairy to teleport you there," dad informed me. He stood up and fixed his tie, placing his phone against his ear. "Leon, meet me at the great tree."

Fairy what?

Do fairies exist?

"Fairy?" I asked my dad.

Dad looked at me and smirked. "You heard it right. A fairy and his name is ...Thomas."
