Past/Person Talking.
"Well I think it looks pretty." I said, eyeing the sky that was littered with blue and purple meshed together.
"I think you're pretty looking at the sky." he confessed, nudging me with his shoulder and I rolled my eyes playfully, "But, the sky itself, no."
I turned my head to meet his golden orbs that stood out. Especially with the bits of orange that were splashed in the sky as well.
"Why not?" I asked bewildered, if not, sky's might be the most beautiful peaceful thing I've ever seen.
He sighed, "It doesn't have any green in it." I felt my lips turn up into a smile.
I turned my body situating myself on his chest, "The Northern Lights have green in them, you know where that is?" I questioned as a suggestion.
He pushed some hair behind my ear after I placed my chin on his chest comfortably, "Alaska." he answered with a small smile.
I hummed, nodding my head, "We should go."
His eyes widen a bit in mock surprise, "Layla Anderson, are you asking me to run away with you?" he claimed with playfulness in his tone, his thumb brushing against my cheek.
"Landon, be serious." I laughed and he chuckled, his features changing to one of softness.
"Joking." he said gently, "I'd go anywhere with you love."

"Luna, did you hear me?"
Paul's voice floated around in my head while I ran, the wind pushing back my hair. Zach called behind me but, it was just a mere echo as trees filled my vision. My heart was beating fast against my ribcage, aching every beat. It hurt like a wound would but, also emotionally. As if half of my heart was being physically torn from me, hanging on by a thread.
"Luna."
Mia has stopped responding and I have nothing to rely on. When I finally made it though, it felt like the thread finally snapped away. Falling deep into this abyss that I couldn't reach into and my chest bloomed with such a painful feeling. It made me physically stop to gasp for air once my eyes finally locked onto his lying figure. I felt Zach's arms wrap around me and I fought against them.
"Don't." he stated, trying to calm what couldn't be tamed.
"Landon." I screamed, breaking loose from his hold, finally noticing the tears that were endlessly flowing down my face.
I let my legs carry me over to Landon almost in slow motion as it felt like I couldn't get there fast enough. My body fell limply next to his and my hands quickly cupped his face. His eyes were closed, hiding those bright hazel orbs of his. Blood was smeared on his face, his chest, everywhere and his lips looked a bit blue.

He was effortlessly perfect, only he wasn't breathing.
"No, no, no." I mumbled, looking him over and eyeing the dark blanket that covered his lower half.
All while my chest heaved with oncoming panic, his body laid still under my gaze and blood pooled around him. My eyesight was blurred over by the endless tears in my eyes. And I felt my body shaking as I held his face in my hands.
"I just wanted to be in my o-own room and you were taking so long."
He smiled brighter, he had the most attractive smile, "My apologies love, now could I carry you, doctor says no walking yet remember?"
I felt myself gasping for air that was being taken from me. Every breath was useless when I couldn't seem to calm down. Waves filled with such nausea and pain hit me hard. I couldn't grasp onto the fact that the one person who I love most in this world, was gone. And every second I sat here was a million thoughts going through my head that reminded me of it.
The pack had surrounded the woods and I faintly caught sight of dead rogues, Kade being among them.
"I want you to know I'm always going to protect you." he whispered, his hand moving slowly, almost cautiously to my cheek.
"Landon, you can't be dead wake up." I cried, removing my trembling hands from his face to push at his chest, "Please." I begged.
"I'm sure animal farm isn't that upsetting?"
"I think when Boxer dies its upsetting."
"You're not just a runt, don't ever try and say that bullshit again, you're my mate and you're goddamn perfect."
A terrible scream was let out and I looked up to see it was Audrey. We locked eyes and hers were filled with such fear that mirrored mine. She bent over, the tears spilling over instantly.
"What were you thinking about that made my girl cry huh?" he asked, wiping away the remaining tears.
My hands desperately went back to caress his face, turning it towards me, "Please don't leave me." I choked out, tears racing down my cheeks and falling onto his mark.
I shook my head, Mia howling in absolute pain.
"Green, forest green is my favorite color." I looked to see him eyeing me with a slight smile.
"Why?"
"It's the color of your eyes."
"I need you, open your eyes." I begged once more, caressing just below his bottom eye lashes.
"I love you, Layla." he repeated, my mouth fell open in shock, "I don't know if you think this is too soon or not but, I don't want to wait months to tell you because, I love you today, right now."

"You're my first." he claimed, before kissing me again, "Say it." he stated.
I laughed a bit, "Say what?"
"That you're my first." he smiled.
"I'm your first."
Every time I'd even try to breath I couldn't, all my air was being stolen from me. My head was pounding and it felt like half of my being was gone. Everything hurt so bad, my heart felt like it was ripped from my chest. And my being couldn't believe that he was just gone, he can't leave me, he just can't. I won't allow it how am I supposed to live without him.
He is not dead, he isn't and at any moment he'll open his eyes. So that I can stare into them for hours while he tells me how much he loves me.
"Well I'll always love you Layla, so you don't have to worry anymore, you're my forever." he promised.
"You're mine too."
"Landon, you said forever." I sobbed, "You promised me." I cried out, pushing my fingers into his hair, my breathing becoming harsher by the second, "You promised." I repeated.
"What'd you think?" I asked, turning my head slightly to look at him.
"I think." he kissed my shoulder gently, "That I know why you like it now and that I found my new favorite book." he smiled before kissing my lips longingly.
"I just wish boxer didn't have to die." he mumbled, earning a laugh from me.
"Luna." I heard faintly, a hand was placed on my shoulder gently but, I yanked away from their touch.
"Don't touch me." I breathed, "He's okay." I wiped off some dried blood from his cheekbone, "He's okay." I assured, my nose burning as fresh tears invited themselves to stream down my face once again.
His skin was so pale and his brown hair was disheveled, blood staining his body. And for the first time, I realized some blood was dripping down from the side of his head. I also realized how his lips were covered in blood that was slipping from the corners of his lips. Yet my mind thought otherwise, it thought he was okay, he would wake up and everything will be alright again. It thought that he'd open his eyes so I can see how much they shine.
It thought I'd make him laugh so I could see him smile one more time. It thought so many things but, in reality none of it was real.
"God, I'm so in love with you." his hot breath murmured against my neck which made me smile so hard.
"You're okay." I said to him, grasping at his hand that was smeared with blood to kiss it, "You're okay."
I leant down, kissing his forehead softly and pushing away some hair that was matted to his head by blood. He was okay, I know in my heart he was. I know that he'd wake up and smile at me, giving me impossible butterflies. I know that he wouldn't leave me like this. So that is why I know he'll wake up, he needs too.
"You're unbelievable." I mumbled, pushing my wet hair from my face, he smiled.
"You love me." he stated, gripping my hips to bring me closer to him.
"I do love you." I said softly, meeting his sparkling hazel eyes.
"I love you baby." he replied, his hands cupping my face, before leaning down and kissing my lips.
"Please, wake up." I desperately pleaded, grasping at his hand as sobs racked my body, "I need you." I screamed until my throat was scratchy and my face was hot with heat.
I fell against his chest, my sobs filling the entire forest and wolves howled in the distance for their alpha. I couldn't stop the terrible agony I felt in my heart, my chest, my mind, everywhere. My body shook violently and I gripped at his hand for safety but, I couldn't find any. I couldn't find any because, he was dead, he was gone. My only reason for being, my only comfort, solace, happiness, gone.
This isn't fair, I did everything right I endured constant abuse for years. I granted those same abusers the mercy of being alive still. I'm luna to a pack of people that stood by and watched me be abused. And I still care for them and would stand by them. I did everything right, I showed kindness to bad people.
Yet this is what I get for it all, more pain.
"I love you Layla and one day will have a family of our own." Landon whispered.
I screamed desperately, filling it with all of my pain I felt that was deep within me. I screamed for losing the love of my life. I screamed for Audrey who lost her son. I screamed because, I'm nothing without him.
Nothing.
You're pregnant.
