sixty nine.


"I will return to my Pack, in two days. That is my own worry Alpha Cadman, and you shouldn't bother yourself with it." Dusk stated from behind me, his voice sounded completely bored but he managed to make his words strong; Alpha like.

Dustin and Dusk have been fighting this whole time, throwing insults at one another and making one seem better then the other, it was tiring to listen to them, even as the tears were still absentmindedly swimming down my cheeks, trailing down my neck and disappearing into Axel's sweater.

The warriors were quiet, it was almost as if they weren't even around; that's how silent they were. Axel walked beside me, not once talking to me because he could probably sense my emotions and the fact that I didn't want to be bothered.

"Alpha Dusk, you speak to me as if you have a higher rank. We both know who the stronger Alpha is, my worry is only on my Pack, yours isn't even on my mind. So you can keep your Pack worries to yourself, they and you are none of my concern." Dustin protested coldly, his words came out even stronger then Dusk's, silencing the wind around us that was blowing at the tree's which had stilled to Dustin's voice. Even Dusk was speechless behind me.

I took in a shaky breath and shook my head, my hands going under my eyes to wipe the tears which wouldn't stop falling; for some reason Dustin's words took a serious tole on emotions, but even I was used to them by now, so why? Why am I crying like the weakling he see's me as?

"Alpha Cadman with all due respect-"

"Enough!" Axel's voice echoed through my ears making my walking freeze, everyone came to a stop, my heart too. He had interrupted Dusk angrily.

I turned my head to face him and noticed how his eyes were becoming a faint red, showing off how angry and frustrated he really was.

"Enough of your stupidity! I command the both of you to walk in silence and not once mention your rank or Pack, if you do, you will pay greatly!" He continued, spit flying out of his mouth while he spoke, his finger shooting out into a scolding motion making me shrink back; feeling as if his words were directed my way.

"My apologies, Prince Axel." Dusk said softly, I could hear how sincere his words were, he didn't realize that he was indeed fighting stupidly with Dustin, instead of keeping his words to himself.

Dustin however said nothing, I gasped and turned my body around slightly, looking at my mate through glossy eyes, his scent which I tried my hardest not to inhale consumed me instead of the other way around, warming up my insides and making me want to run up into his embrace and feel his large hands around me; holding me.

His blue eyes glared at Axel, his head held high and his lips were in a thin line, his tightly clenched hands were shaking; he looked furious.

I watched as he angrily spun around and faced a large tree beside him making my brows furrow, I understood what he wanted to do once his fists connected with the tree.

My face scrunched up as I watched him let out his anger with loud grunts, fist after fist; the tree was bending and bits of bark flew around, I could even see the skin around his knuckles breaking.

"Axel, start walking with both Dusk and the warriors, I'll stay behind." I whispered, I didn't mean to say that, it just came out forcefully; as if something wanted me and Dustin to be alone, no matter how scared I was.

"But-"

"Just go." I interrupted him, letting out a defeated sigh, I kept my gaze directly on Dustin who continued punching the breaking tree; leaving footsteps invaded my hearing and I let out a shaky breath.

"D-Dustin?" I whispered, my heart hammering against my chest, my fingers nervously playing with one another. But he didn't reply or stop.

He continued punching the tree at a fast pace, as if the breaking of the skin around his knuckles didn't bother him.

"Dustin." I said more firmly, my face falling in fear but my feet, as if they had a mind of their own, started walking towards him slowly; hesitantly.

His punches slowed down a bit, but his breathing came out labored and his body was heaving up and down, I could sense his anger; through the weakened bond.

"Stop." I stated softly, my vision was on his back, seeing as I now stood directly behind him, all alone in these empty woods.

He didn't.

My hand stretched out and firmly placed itself on his shoulder, I felt so small near him; seeing as I reached not the middle of his back, but a bit higher-still it was short compared to his large build.

His whole entire body tensed under my hand, his fists were pressed against the tree and I noticed a slight twitch in them; my teeth shot over my bottom lip anxiously.

"Relax." I whispered, trying to soothe him the best way I could, even though I didn't want to. I felt something inside me churn, and something stirred in the back of my mind but I shrugged it off.

"Get your hand off of me." He grit out, his words were strained, I could hear how hard it was for him to say that, and I didn't want to believe that he really wanted my hand off of him; but I took it off anyway.

I watched as he turned around swiftly to face me, sending a breeze my way from his movements.

Nevertheless, my eyes widened and I felt my breath get caught in my throat.

"Why are you here?" He asked me, his brows furrowed in frustration but his blue eyes gave away nothing; his whole entire face was void of emotion.

I shrugged and dusted my hands off nervously, trying to think of what to say, but I didn't know what, I was wondering the same thing.

"I-I don't know." I whispered hesitantly, my hand absentmindedly going into my hair to scratch it, a habit I have for when I'm very nervous or unsure, he noticed and his gaze lingered on my hair; as if he just noticed that the length had changed.

"I'll ask once more, why you're here and don't give me a stupid answer." He replied with a huff, I sighed and shook my head, feeling some kind of confidence enter me.

"Don't ask stupid questions and you won't receive stupid answers." I said with a smirk, I was indeed confused as to why I said what I did, because even I knew the consequences of talking back to him. He growled lowly, his blue eyes filling with that familiar storm making me shrink back.

He tilted his head and smirked, his hand somehow making way into my short hair, my whole body froze, I blocked out the sparks and his scent; using all my strength. I didn't want the bond to make me do anything more and ruin my life.

"Oh Celine. You really need to stop acting all tough, when even you know you're not. Hell, everyone knows you're not. Remember when I found you in my cells? All you did was cry, and to this day all you do is cry. You're so pathetic and sad, I find it funny to watch you act confident because in your eyes I can see all your walls fall; giving me full access to your confusion and fear. Just because you're a Royal doesn't mean you have my respect, because once you're back at BloodLine, the cells will have the pleasure to hold you in them." He said, his words were cold, making even colder shivers run up and down my spine, my lips fell into a frown. My broken heart tried to mend itself together but no matter how hard it tried, Dustin was there to break it.

I pulled away from him and quickly stood a good couple feet away from, my bottom lip trembled but our locked gazes never broke.

"Y-you know all I ever did was listen and obey; like the stupid dog that I am. I've been lied to all my life by everyone I know and yet here I am, living that stupid life with a bit of hope that everything will go back to the way it should've been. But you're here and you always break that hope Dustin, always. It hurts, physically, emotionally and mentally. You hurt me physically, emotionally and mentally, and yet here I am; trying my hardest to comfort the man that I'm supposed to call my mate who wants me dead. It hurts so much, but that's my life; that's the life I was given, pain is what I was given and nobody know's it better then me. Nobody." I replied, my voice cracking in the midst of every sentence and sadly my voice fell into a whisper, my stomach was twisting while different kinds of emotions filled me; he just watched blankly, making my eyes water.

"I never wanted your help. I never wanted you. I don't know why you thought I would, but you're just playing yourself. You ruin your own life." He stated angrily, I sighed and shook my head, the tears betraying the strength that I wanted to have and trailing down my cheeks.

"You're wrong. I'm your mate it's my job to help you, no matter how badly I don't want to. The bond will always force me to. My life has been ruined since I was a child and it continues to stay ruined. Do you see my dress? Do you see what I was forced into? Do you see the blood? Do you see what I'm becoming? Do you?" I asked loudly, my words coming off in an aggressive whisper at the end, my hands falling limply to my sides as I tried glaring at my mate who stood in front of me, void of any emotion known to man.

"That's where we're similar. You're nothing better then I am, we are both murderers. And it's your stupidity that caused your kidnap!" He yelled out, his voice deep and enraged, I watched his finger fly out into a scolding motion making me huff in disbelief.

"My stupidity?!" I asked angrily, my hands clapping against each other in frustration; he nodded his head.

"Well if saving my son is stupid then okay, I got kidnapped because of my stupidity! But, that was before. I didn't even know that I got kidnapped until I woke up from my heat into Xavier's room! If anything I was kidnapped because of your own stupidity! I know that you were with me last, so it was your own fault not mine! You were supposed to watch me! But obviously you didn't!" I yelled out, my words came out strong even though I was both fuming and sad on the inside, my heart was hammering against my chest; trying to keep up with my rage.

He growled and ran a hand through his dark hair swiftly.

"It wasn't my fault." He bit out, I watched something twinkle in his eyes like disappointment but it disappeared just as quickly as I saw it; I blinked and shook my head, it's impossible for him to show emotion.

"You got yourself into that position on your own Celine, like I said before you're weak and was obviously forced into marriage, and you managed to lose your wolf along the way. We had to come save you!" He stated, clearly we were both angry and enraged, and we were showing it but his words made my blood boil even more.

"I didn't ask you guys to save me! You came on your own! And by the looks of my dress, you yourself could see who did the saving!" I yelled out in a deep voice, my throat felt completely dry at the end of my words. He smirked menacingly.

"We are the same." He repeated slowly, his voice filled with some twisted kind of amusement, I knew what he was hinting at; trying to make me look and seem like him, trying to fill my mind with disgusting things but I chose not to believe.

"I will never be like you. You kill in cold-blood, you are a murderer with no heart and no remorse, whereas I am forced to do those things, I have a heart and I have remorse. But it you were to die, that would be the only time we would be similar because I will hold no pity or any form of sadness in me. Especially if you die in the hands of madness." I spit out, my eyes narrowing into slits as I glared at him, but I gave him no time to speak as I turned my body around and walked away.

My heart was hammering against my chest because even I knew that my words were a lie, I would feel remorse and pity for Dustin if he died; but something forced me to tell him that I wouldn't.

And I loved it.
