Makaylas pov

Last night was the best night ever. It didn't make up for all the years I lost of being in the cells but it sure was nice. "Alex?" I question him as he pulls me towards his chest

"Yes babe?"  "Babe? What kind of nickname is that?" "Look Alex, I just want our relationship to go slow. I'm just not ready."

"What do you mean!" He tightens his fist and growls. "I mean that I don't want a relationship yet because I'm not ready, I'm scared."

"That's nonsense Makayla!" "Calm down Alex!" His hand collides with my cheeks and I whimper. It reminds me off when he used to beat me.

His eyes widen and he gets out of bed and backs up. "I am so sorry." He slams the bathroom door and howls. "Huh?" I hear a clicking noise and I bang on the door for him to let me in. "Alex let me in now!" "No you don't deserve a cruel person like me."

I look around for something to knock the door down and I see a chair. "Bingo!" I take the chair and slam it into the door causing a hole. I reach my hand in the whole and unlock the door and run in. He has a gun held to his head and my eyes widen.

"What the hell are you doing Alex! You have a pack to live for. They need you. Your mother wouldn't want you doing this now would she?" He growls and aims the gun at me.

His eye color been change to black a long time ago. "Listen Alex this is not you. Your not yourself. Just place the gun down slowly and we will work things out."

Has he turned crazy or what?!

"I tried to make it up to you. I tried changing for you. You don't even appreciate me stop beating you to death. But no your selfish! You don't deserve this life your living! Your sister deserved it more then you!"

He holds the gun up towards me and my eyes widen. "Alex you don't have to do this!" His finger pulls the bullet and I try placing the gun down. everything happens in slow motion. The bullet connects with my chest and hits him in the arm.

I let out a painful howl and fall to the the ground. He drops the gun and storms out of the bathroom. I lay there helpless trying not to lose conscious. I knew I couldn't trust him.

Everything is so blurry. I fall into a deep sleep, laying in pain.

Alex pov

"Dad I think I did a bad thing." I'm in front of my dad pacing back in forth. "What is that son?" "I shot Makayla." I whispered the last part. "What the fuck Alex. Why are you here. Go save the poor girl!"

I leave the room quickly and go to the bathroom. She laid there lifeless and breathing slightly. I pick her up and rush out of the room. I bust through the pack Doctor.

"Fix her!" I growl and doctors take her out of my hands. They put her under anesthesia and start taking the bullet out. After they stitch up the wound they lay her on a recovery bed.

"Alpha we have good news and bad. She will wake up in a few hours which is the good news but the bad news is the bullet was two inches away from her heart. She's going to be in shock when she awakes. We got the bullet out before the silver spread throughout her already weak body.

I nod my head and sigh. She isn't going to forgive me I groan. "Alpha do you want us to take the bullet out of your arm."

I nod and they take it out without numbing it. It doesn't matter because it doesn't hurt.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. It was a fucking bad idea of even having the gun. I wince as they clean my wound.

They wrap it even though it's going to heal in a hour. I hear a grunt and look at Makayla who eyes flutter open.

"Why aren't I dead yet?" I rush over to her and hold her in my arms. "I'm so so sorry love."

"Why aren't I dead yet?" She keeps repeating this. "Stop saying that love. Please?" "She looks up at me and sobs. "Why did I hurt you?" She looks at my arm and then my heart.

"All you wanted was a relationship with your weak mate. But I ruined it for you."

"Shh Makayla it's alright. You didn't do nothing wrong it was all my fault. Now tears run down my face. "It's my fault."

"I still have a question", she whispers. "What is it?"

"Why aren't I dead yet?"
