The alpha lifted his muscular head, tilting his head to the side, ears twitching thinking it as nothing but an echo. The second set of screams had him leaping to his paws, pawing at the cliff edge, running along it trying to find a plausible way down to those screams..... a way down to her. When he found there was none he shifted to his human form, dropping to his knees gasping in pain from the bruising caused by the forced shifting. He quickly found clothes and threw them on then began barking out orders all the while standing near the edge glancing down at the mist watching for any movement.

"Get rope now!!!!" He snarled out the orders looking down towards the mist again before shouting."Mate stay still, don't move an inch. I'm coming for you."

Rosaleigh heard the alpha shouting down to her, her ankle bled through the tie she'd made and was now seeping blood like a river, and her head was also bleeding, with a slight concussion."Hurry! I-I don't know how much longer I can last. It.....it hurts!" She screamed back in pain.

The rock beneath her not used to withstanding her weight began to crack underneath her. She screamed out and fear pulling herself towards the cliff face, but pulling the dead weight of her legs was difficult for her with her head spinning and her upper body being weakened from holding onto the cliff earlier.

"The ledges breaking!" She screamed out in fear, "I'm going to fall! I'm going to die!"

The alpha grew weak and scared all over for his mate who's life was in peril. He quickly tied the rope around his waist and propelled himself down the cliff face, desperate to get to his mate just as he reached the ledge and had her wrapped up in his arms, being pulled up the ledge all completely crumbled splashing into the watery grave below.

"T-thank you." She cried happily before passing out.

"Mate?" He whined in fear before propelling himself up getting the pack to help pull them up as well.

He held her close to his chest crying relief , his mate with safe wrapped up in his arms. He collapsed to his knees brushing her long rosey red hair out of her face. That's when he saw the gash that ran along the temple of her head, the pack doctor came forward to taking Rosaleigh from Kane, walking 6 miles to the ambulances, one has the other lycan in that was mistaken as a werewolf who is now stabilized and the mate of the beta Dominic. Kane ran after the pack doctor only to be confronted by a pissed off Beta.

"What is that hunter doing here?! Did you forget what she did to you and Saphire?!" Dominic growled angrily

Kane whined after loosing sight of his mate. "Mate.'" He tried pushing past Domonic, but Dom pulled him right back.

" Kane is she your mate? Why is she going with the doc?" Dom askedasked immediately concerned for his alpha.

"Yes Saphire bit her ankle and broke it.Then something happened she must have slipped and hit her head......then......then.."Kane started getting choked up as the thoughts and memories came rushing back. "She was hanging from.....a.....ledge....and....and she fell."

Kane then stormed past Dom to the ambulance where Rosaleigh was in.The doctor got Rosaleigh stabilized and all the broken bones set. She had IVs going inher arms and the doctor was preforming a blood transfusion due to the blood loss she suffered from.Kane sat next to Rosaleigh and grab her free hand,

"Will she be okay doc?" Kane asked anxiously.

"She will be. She has a minor concussion, a fractured calve, and kneecap. She has a hash on her temple that required stitches and she has lost a lot of blood. Give her some of yours since your her mate." The doctor informed him.

Kane bit into his wrist and pressed it to Rosaleigh's lips forcing her to drink, she swallowed it greedily, which in turn caused Kane'sip to partially cult back into a slight smile. He used is other free hand to strong her mid-length hair. After he pulled his wrist away the doctor turned back to him with a concerned expression.

"She'll be just fine alpha, but can I.....ask you something?" The doctor hesitated.

"Sure... What's wrong?"Kane began to worry for his mate's health once more.

"Well....um....did you feel a sharp pain?" She asked."Almost like your mate died?"

"Yes....why?" His eyes narrowed dangerously on the doctor.

"Well she did, or she was supposed to die anyway. Betina saved her lofe by biting her. She is transforming into a Lucan, not a normal werewolf with gifts like usual whichbis strange and also means the lycanthrope general runs in her familys bloodline." The doctor explained slightly frightened by how focused he was on her.

"Hmm so that explains how we are mates, but one flaw to that assumption doc why would she be libing with hunters and training to be one?" He asked curioulat, anger flaring up slightly that she'd run from him in the forest after stabbing him.

"That's her story to tell you alpha. I have no clue." The doctor said yawning a little.

Suddenly the machines began to beep and the doctor whirled back around towards Rosaleigh and began checking her vitals only to find her temperture was rising and it was rising very quickly, dangerously fast. Rosaleigh began to shake slightly as her body began to heat up. Kane tightened hia hold on her hand as the doctor strapped her down to the stretcher.

***Dream****Rosaleigh***

I was running through the onions forested area that lay about three miles from our camp. My father told me to run just before a werewolf ripped his throat out. My legs felt like jello, and it was hard to breathe through the fear that was coursing through my body. Right as I turned towards the eastern half of the forest towards Saphire's house, which lay two hundred miles to the east of base camp; a lycan, which I can only assume to be the alpha least out towards me. I panicked and shoved my katana into his stomach then I pulled it out and ran deeper into the woods towards the western side.

I could hear his mourningful how'd echo through the the dense woods that caged me in. Everywhere I turbed I could feel eyes following me, waiting for the right moment to pounce anc devour me. Smoke began to fill the forest as they burnt down my home, I stifled a cry and kept runming glacing over my shoulder. I could see their luminescent yellow, red, and blue beady eyes even the shine from the flashing of teeth. I could still hear the angry snores from those back at camp.

"Little girl! Come out to play! We won't hurt you for stabbing the alpha." A males voice exhoed through the otherwise silent forest, so I ducked and hid behind a tree slowly creeping further into the new treeline before I began to scale a tree.

My heart was pounding in my head making it nearly impossible to hear anything, my breathing came in shallow pants as I tried not to panic while also tryimg to climb a tree as quickly as possible. I felt the sweat on my forehead building up as I continued to haul myself upwards, higher into the tree. About three feet up in the tree is when I felt the sharp teeth of a wolf tearinf viciously and the soft flesh and snappingy left ankle. I tried my hardest not to scream.

****Back in the ambulance***4 miles from Kane's house**

Kane watxhed as his fragile mate struggled underneath if the straps on the stretch. He stroked her messy hair out of her face, which had fallennout of her ponytail. Her fwver had only gotten worse, and as the fever worded so did the the thrashing and convolseing she even started narrating parts of what all took place that night. He grew concerned when tears began streaming down her face, he called out to the doctor; not wanting to leave her side.

*****Dream******Rosaleigh****

I swung from tree to tree until the snarls of the the wolves faded away, and when I offered couslrse ran out of trees to swing onto. I dropped to the ground hoping my ankle wasn't severely broken, and that it would support my weight. However my hopes were crushed as I crumpled to the ground as it twisted off to the side, I bit my right fist so not to scream out in pain. I slowly pulled myself up using a low hanging tree branch, putting hardly any pressure on my left ankle, I pushed off the tree, leaning heavily on mybleft wrist a little bit, but the ferocious snarls began to pick up once more.

With my limp leg it was kind of impossible to run, but I still tried to run from the wolves set a panic attendant motion. I tried so hard to run but I couldn't go any faster than a gimp and I kept glancing back over my shoulder phantom eyes danced along my blurred vision. I had forgotten avoit the waterfall and which way it was because it lay at the furthest western border of the camp; we used to go cliffdiving when we weren't training or going to school, there is gravel that leads to a protruding ledge on the size of the gravel lay large boulders that block off the forest.

I just wasn't fast enough, and I wasn't aware that I was running towards the cliff, but I kept glancing behind so I didn't see the gravel. I twisted my right ankle and immediately went down smashing my head into a largeish boulder making my vision even worse. I continued to tumble forward from my own momentum, slipping off the edge of the cliff and as I fell I managed to grab onto part of the ledge, holding on for dear life. I coulsnt stop the screams that ripped their way out of my throat, they were so loud birds flew away, and it echoed into the dark dancing forest.

Soon I heard the skittering of paws on the gravel above, at this point I didn't even care I just didn't want to die, I would gladly go with them as a prisioner if I had to, I hung for about thirty minutes, and my arms were getting tired. I could feel my fingers slipping, just as I heard the gravel slide, and then a very handsome man appeared. The same one I'd stabbed earlier....the alpha......shit.......He reached for one of my hands and I jerked it back without thinking, slipping even further down and my right hand slipped off and I was dangling by just my left hand. I screamed again looking down in the blurry, churning mist I was about to decsend into. I looked up at the blurry handsome face, to see his eyes grow really watery. I could feel my lip tremble and my body started to shake from shock, and the freezing temperture of the mist.

"Please give me your hand. You'll fall.......you'll die if you fall...." He shouted over the roaring of the waterfall

I shook her head no, fear once again tearing me up inside." N-no you'll just...k-kill me anyway."My teeth were chattering as my temperature decreased from blood loss and the freezing temperature.

"No! Noo one will harm you dear. Please give me your hand." He cried. out in way sounded like fear, leaning even further over the edge almost falling over himself but two wolves grabbed his ankles between their teeth anchoring him.

Not wanting to fsll to my death, I put my trust into this strange man so I agreed. "O-okay I-I'll come with you.....help...help me up."I reached my right hand toward his outstretched one slowly, but just before could grab his hand my left hand slipped off the ledge I was clinging onto for dear life, and now I was stuck in what felt like permanent free-fall as I plummeted down beneath the mist of the waterfall, screaming, until they were cut short, mid scream.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" He tried to lean over the edge further reaching for her still, tears streaming down his face.

The screaming was cut short when I slammed into yet another ledge, my head bouncing off of the wall. Everything went dark for about two hours, I think. When I woke up again, I was on another ledge with an agonizing pain coming from my right leg now, I shot up screaming as the searing pain from my ankle came rushing through my body,and the new worsening pain from my right leg.

"Get rope now!!!" I heard the man scream. " Mate stay still, don't move I'm coming for you."

My ankle was still bleeding profusely and my head was also dripping blood that splashed down onto to my lap, ruining my white yoga pants even more, my black crop top is ripped to shreads showing off my hot pink bra." Hurry! I-I don't know how much longer I can last. It.......it hurts." I screamed in pain.

I began to fade out of consciousness once again when I felt the rock shifting underneath of me. I opened my eyes forcefully seeing the ledge beginning to crack and break into pieces slowly falling into the lake below. I struggled to get closer to the cliff face as more of the ledge chipped away, it was proven to be increaslingly difficult with my head pounding vision blurred and spirling and the pain from both of my legs.

" The ledge is breaking!" I screamed out in fear.....this is the end." I'm going to fall! I'm going to die!!"

Out of the mist I saw him, my saving grace.........my angel, he came to rescue me. Once he got to the level of the ledge he swung over making the ledge shake, he had a handsome but cocky grin upon his face. He pulled me into his arms immeadiatly as if I weighed nothing, craddling me to his chest tieing me to him with the rope that was wrapped around his waist. Just as he pulled on the room an we began to ascend, the ledge collapsed completely. I buried my face into his chest.

"T-thank you." I cried out happily tears streaming down my cheeks; I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and the darkness flooded back in and I slumped forward.

*******Kane***** Present at his house*****

'I almost lost my mate today, I can't even imagine what would've happened if she'd been in the house that caught fire when someone accidently knocked over a fire pit. She ran into me.....I can't belive she stabbed me. I knew she was special though, from the moment I saw her messy rosy hair falling her into her soft face from a once professional looking ponytail , dresses in a black crop top, white leggings and combat boots. I felt the strangest pull to her, but than she stabbed me and ran.' I thought trying to ignore Liken who was whining in my head.

Rosaleigh, my mate, had a bra let that hung from.her wrist with a rose shaped charm with her name and birth date on it. I was slightly concerned for her though, Rosaleigh's fever is still increasing, she is already at 103.4°F, her body was burning to the touch. I've never in my twenty-three years of my life, seen something like this.

She began mumbling again, Luken wimperes more." My saving grace..........my angel" I barely heard it, but it made my chest swell with pride.

'I'm her angel? Does that mean it'll be easier for her to open up to me?' I thought.

I hope so. Luken replied whining

'Luken man up. We've lived without a mate for seven years. We have been doing just fine in our own.'

That's not true! Or else Betina would've listened to you and not attacked her!! We need her!! If she dies the Crescent Moon pack will collapse before our very eyes! She is our angel, she is our savior. And I will do everything possible to protect her even if you won't. He growled viciously.

I didn't answer him back, he was too worried about the beauty which lay before me tossing and turning stuck inside of her fevered dreams. The doctor helped me move her into my room, with all the machines attached. I have a bowl of ice cold water and a pile of fresh rats, I soaked a rag before laying it across her burning forehead. She sighed softly, relaxing slightly, I stroked her cheek lovingly, gazing at the woman who has entranced myself and my wolf.

I could feel the electrifying sparksw that warmed my core every time I touched her even if it was just moving her hair out of her face. I would have to leave soon to take care of my pack duties, so the doctor would come in and watch her while I worked. My wolf hated leaving her, I didn't really know how to feel, I mean my girlfriend, Violleta is away and will come back in a month and a half and I am the alpha of the pack, and I have priorities.
