Drew POV

I sat on couch with my eyes closed, thinking about my little boy, when I heard a knock on the door.

Who was it?

I inhaled and didn't smell Hunter's scent which made sense because, why would he knock on his own door? I got up and walked towards the door opening it and seeing Elliot standing there with a faint smile on his face .

"Hey.. what are you doing here?" I asked from behind the door for some unknown reason, my wolf wouldn't let him in.

"Hi, I brought you these, since you didn't come down for your appointment." he said holding up the bag of what I was assuming was my tablets.

"Oh, it must have slipped my mind. You didn't have to come all the way here but thanks though" I said taking it from him and looking at him as still stood there even after I took the bag.

"Can I come in?" He asked.

I contemplated on whether I should or shouldn't. I had no idea why but I felt uncomfortable being around any male that wasn't Hunter as ironic as it was, being around Elliot wasn't any different. Before he was the only person I felt comfortable with, and now I just felt uneasy..

"Umm"

"It'll only take a minute.. I just want to make sure you're okay" I nodded and let him in. He sat on the couch and looked at me, while I stood there awkwardly.

"You can sit down." he said pointing to the seat next to him. I nodded and sat down..

There was no reason to make this a big deal.. right?

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm fine"

"Drew.. how are you really feeling?"I looked at him, almost like I had no clue about what he was going at.

"You always come to the appointments alone, you're home here all alone. You never leave this house, you always have this sad look on your face, it's obvious that things aren't okay between you two. I figured as much when he came to see me." he said chuckling.

"He came to see you.. why?"

"He wanted to know, how to make you happy.."

He wanted to make me happy?? He didn't need to do anything he just had to be him.

I smiled upon hearing those words. It assured me that he did care. I ran my fingers along the really small bump that formed on my stomach.

"Do you love him?" He asked, the question throwing me off balance as I hadn't even thought about it yet.

Did I love him?

I smiled when I thought about his blue eyes, that were so much like our son's, about his muscular body, his rough but smooth voice. The way he kept a stern look on his face all the time and yet, he seemed sad about something, all those little fine details that I loved so much.

"I do. I'm not really sure why, though but I do" I said as my cheeks turned a bright red.

He nodded his head and looked down sighing. He looked up, into my eyes and smiled, though it was full of pain.

"It's a shame. I would have made you so happy." He said as he placed his warm hand behind my neck, and rubbed his thumb along my cheek.

"You did, for a time, you did. " I said smiling at him.

In a very unexpected way, he leaned in and pressed his lips on mine. I widened my eyes at the sudden close contact and a thought crossed my mind. It didn't feel like it did when we were kids. When I was younger, all I dreamed about was kissing him, and now that he was I just wanted him to let go off me, but it was too late. I heard that growl and I knew too well who it was.

Elliot was yanked away from me and flung across the floor. Elliot was a little bigger than Hunter, resulting in him just being tossed a few feet from me.

I jumped up and stared at Hunter but it was like the person staring back at me wasn't him. No this person didn't even look human. He held so much anger and hatred in his eyes, that it was like all the anger he kept buried, finally surfaced.

He walked towards Elliot, when I stood in front of him , blocking him.

" Hunter stop!" I yelled. He looked at me through his blood red eyes, and growled.

"Move" he said, his teeth gritting as I refused to budge. I wouldn't let him kill Elliot not because I had feelings for Elliot or anything. It was simple, because I knew how much he detested spilling blood. I had heard from Jake, that even though he was the Alpha, he had forbid any and every type of killing.

"Elliot, leave now." I said without breaking eye contact with Hunter. I could feel Elliot hesitating but eventually decided to leave. I heard him close the door and drive off, when I let out a sigh.

"It's not what you think. He just came over to-" , my words got stuck in my mouth, when I found myself on the floor with a throbbing pain coming from my cheek. I raised my hand to my cheek and widened my eyes.

Had he just punched me?

In the entire time that we had been together, while he had done awful things, he had not once lifted his hands on me. He used his Alpha tone, to force me to succumb to him, but that was as far as he went. He had never once beaten me like he did when we were kids, never once physically hurt me in that way. I looked at him, with wide eyes as he walked towards me, his eyes glowing a flaming red. I was completely speechless.

"Its him huh, it's always been him. You've always only wanted him" he said as he grabbed me by my collar and pulled me up towards him, screaming in my face.

"Why? Why couldn't it be me, why couldn't you love me?" He yelled as he pushed me back against the wall, making my back feel like it was being crushed at the impact.

"I've loved you since we were kids! I waited for you to look at me like you looked at him! And when you left I waited for you. I didn't touch a single person, because I wanted to keep myself for you, but you didn't give a shit about that did you?" He yelled as he slammed his fist into the wall beside my head, cracking the wall.

He loved me all along?

"I bet you loved the way he fucked you, I bet you even imagined it was him whenever you were with me." He screamed in my face making me wince as his red eyes bore holes into me.

"What are you talki-" I gasped for air when I felt him slam his fist into my in the stomach.

No. no no.. please..

"Please stop it.. " I said as I tried to block his fist another time. I could feel his Alpha power emanating from him, making me numb.

"Did you beg him to stop like this too." He yelled as he pulled me up by my shirt and slammed me into the wall. I screamed out as the tears began falling freely from my eyes.

Visions and visions flashed before my eyes so quickly, I couldn't make out what they meant. I was standing alone in the forest. I was sitting alone by the mulberry tree. I was sitting alone with my face buried in my hands as I sobbed.

Was the future changing?

"No please, you don't understand.. you have to stop. I'm p-" I gasped and coughed as his fist collided with my chest. I fell to the ground as I gasped and held my stomach as I cried.

The last thing I saw before I blacked out, was his blood red eyes, his canines dripping with saliva as he growled, his talons withdrawn.

A True Beast.
