I woke up in a hot sweat and look frantically around the room, Cici isn't next to me and I quickly hop out of bed to find her. I just woke up from a bad dream, I needed to see her safe...I dreamt that I was here and she was bleeding out in the forest, left to die and I had no idea until it was too late. I know dreams aren't real but I am on edge and I just need to feel her here in my arms so I can settle. I look at my phone and see it's 4am, where could she be?

I wonder through the dark house we share and I can't find her anywhere... my heart is pounding and I know Victor is pacing in my head. I can't get her dying breathes out of my head and I feel like I'm going crazy. I go to the kitchen downstairs and see a note with my name on it... I sigh with relief, she probably went for a run after the amount of sleep we had yesterday. I turn on the lights and sit on a stool at the island to read it.

Dear Ash (my handsome alpha),

I'm sorry I didn't speak to you before I left, I knew you'd try to stop me but my heart is set on this so please let me follow through with my plan.

I have left for my fathers pack. I am going to challenge him one on one. I am the rightful Alpha to The Midnight Sky Pack after he is gone. I want to do this to save the lives of the other Pack members who only follow his orders but don't believe in his methods.

I need to save them as well as us, I hope you can understand.

I will be gone for a week or two. I need to challenge him and win and then I will need to sit down with the pack and sort a lot of things out like how they will be joining our pack and our territory so you can lead as Alpha with me as Luna.I will give them the choice to leave as rogues or transfer to another pack who I will make the arrangements with on their behalf. I also need to go through all my dads books and find out what to do with the prisoners he has as I know first hand many of them are innocent.

I need to do this my perfect mate... once I have sorted this I can focus fully on our pack and our lives.

Please, please understand me and leave me to do this!

I will shut off my mind link until I am going to be coming home. I have also left orders for Darius in a note for him about how he can help you prepare there for the wolves I will be joining to our pack.

I love you, my one and only Alpha... you can tell me how stupid I am when I return but for now take care of the pack. Also make sure you sleep plenty for when I return as you won't be sleeping for a while when I get my hands on you!

All my love and my undying loyalty...

Your Luna.

Xxxx

I let out a low growl and mind link Paul and Darius to wake the hell up and come and explain what they know.

I can't believe she would do this... we could have gone together... then at least I would know she was safe.

Victor let's out a long howl for his Maya, no reply came through the crisp, dark night. He was as hurt and offended as I was. Our mates left and didn't trust us to know before they left... what was I supposed to do now?!
