It's really short. I'm sorry.

I do think you will all love me for the end though.

It's finally March Break! (Or as most people call it Spring Break.) And I'll be pretty busy for the most part. I was hoping for multiple updates this week but I dunno if that's happening.

If you guys have any tips for getting rid of clothes and just stuff in general, that'd be really helpful. Lol.

So, on with the short chapter before the next one that I hope to make really long! ;)

Blaire's POV

I watch Darren move around the room, getting ready. My mind is... In a conflicting time. I said I forgave him, but I can't figure out if I really do. His words keep haunting my memory, I'm scared he'll say them again.

My leg aches, but it feels a lot better than yesterday. Darren explained he'd stay home with me all day. Calder linked me, saying he's realized I heal at a faster rate than most wolves. Probably just something my wolf had achieved while being out in the wilderness for so long. He says my leg may even be healed by tonight if I'm lucky, since it wasn't a bad break.

"How is your mom?" I ask Darren, meanwhile, trying to link the people on patrol. I find the link quite difficult when they haven't linked me first. I want to know what's going on with the rogues. I sigh when it doesn't work.

"She's doing okay." Darren nods a little, looking at himself in the mirror. I walk over with some troubles and hug him.

"Why did I forgive you but I'm still scared you'll hurt me?" I ask in a whisper.

Darren's face falls. "I'm not going to hurt you again angel. And I don't think you really know how to apply forgiveness, but that's alright."

I pull away and nod, limping over to the closet. I pull out what I want to wear and get Darren to help me.

"I want a walk in closet." I say somewhat randomly.

"What?" Darren looks over me with wide eyes.

"I want a walk in closet." I repeat. "Lilian showed me pictures. I want one too."

Darren chuckles. "Then I'm going to give you one angel."

"Really?" I gasp.

"I want to spoil you darling. Especially after what I did. If you want a walk in closet, you get a walk in closet." Darren seems a little smug? If that's the right word.

I squeal excitedly and hug him. I get a walk in closet!

Darren takes the day off to be with me considering I'm limping around. He keeps saying he wants to make it up to me.

I find though, that I soon get bored. Really bored. Darren keeps suggesting not interesting things. Like, cards. A game of cards. I do not want to play a game of cards.

I sigh. I can't do anything with a broken leg. Like, at all! It's extremely frustrating.

"Wolf, you're supposed to be faster than others, so heal." I demand out loud.

Darren, from where he's sitting on the phone with his sister, looks over at me. He looks kinda funny with the face he makes.

After he hangs up, he purses his lips. "We can go shopping? You can get whatever clothes you want, I won't say anything."

"But I can hardly try anything on." I reply, crossing my arms.

"Want to watch a movie?"

"No."

"Read?"

"No."

"Blaire," Darren groans.

I shrug and look up at the ceiling from where I am on the couch.

"Fine. I'm going to work miss." He says.

Darren's POV

Little Miss Moo was being stubborn. And, almost as if to say I don't want to be with her when she's like that, I left for work. Leaving Luke and Zale to deal with her.

I still feel bad for what I did, and when she told me this morning that she was scared, I felt worse. So when she asked for a walk in closet, I wanted to give it to her as more of an apology.

Now I have to actually arrange for that to happen. I pinch the bridge of my nose and go check on my mom.

She's lying in the bed, awake now. Dad isn't with her either. I sit in the chair and take her hand.

"How are you feeling?" I ask softly.

"Fine Darren. How's Blaire? I'm still mad you haven't taken her to see us!" She exclaims.

"Well... I have a question actually. About Blaire. Yesterday... I told her to get lost, that I didn't want to see her. I was mad at her for what happened to you, stupid I know. But rogues found her, they broke her leg- mom she said she forgave me but she hardly knows what forgiveness is. I feel so guilty and I don't know what I'm supposed to do."

"Oh Darren..." Mom sighs. "Blaire knows you love her. By everything you told me, she does. She's just fragile. You know that. You have to build her trust up again. Your father was never as nice to me as you are to Blaire if that helps any." She chuckles.

"Am I doing the right thing?" I sigh. "With everything I'm doing for Blaire?"

"You'll know if something is right or wrong. And if you know it's wrong, and you start it with, or for, or to Blaire. Whichever the context, stop doing it. Because as I said, she's fragile. Just keep spoiling her Darren, that girl deserves it." Mom smiles.

The machines hooked up to her make her look so frail. But mom is so strong and brave and she knows everything. I swear she could solve all my problems.

"I'm going to go to work, I'll check up on you again later, okay?" I promise.

"Darren I'll be fine. Go."

I roll my eyes and leave. Heading to my office when there's another absence in the link. Someone else just died. Another body on my hands.

I growl and clench my hands into fists. I find who it is and where and go straight there.

I link Zale to make sure Blaire is okay in the process but he says he's out getting her food. I growl again at the thought of her being with only one guard.

'I'm sorry alpha. She ordered me. She is not very happy at the moment.' Zale apologizes.

'It's fine.' I sigh. It's not his fault Blaire's in a bad mood.

'Luke?' I walk up to the dead body that a few other warriors are surrounding. Looking at the boy I recognize him instantly through his ripped up body... He's the one that pushed Blaire. David. 'Is Blaire okay? And you can't tell Blaire anything about who just died.'

'She's fine. In a very bad mood, but fine. And I won't.' Luke promises.

I sigh in frustration. Who's doing this!? We can't sniff him out either and it's getting to be one of the biggest problems I've faced.

"Please... Get him cleaned up so we can give him his funeral." I say quietly.

David will be the last death. We are going to catch who did this before another person is killed.

Do I tell Blaire? She'll be devastated, and she was already acting a little weird before. And now she's moody. Somethings wrong with her... No. I don't tell Blaire. Just some pack member she never met died. There. I can tell her that.

I walk to my office and open a big map. The places we had already been to or other packs had looked have an X on them... And that's just about everywhere.

Where the hell could they be!? They can't just stay hidden like this. It's impossible. We need to wipe these damn rogues out, now!

They can't get to Blaire. They aren't allowed to. She is my life, she means everything to me. If they were to take her I would not stop until every last one of them were dead and I got my baby back.

I sigh and run a hand through my hair, putting the map away. I link someone to get my suit cleaned for the funeral. I had to attend every one of my members funerals, well, I didn't have to. But I always do. I always attend.

I glance at the time, almost feeling bad I left Zale and Luke with Blaire. But at the same time, I really have some paperwork to go through... I groan, sometimes this job is frustrating. Though I don't think I'd ever trade it. No... Until I have a son or daughter to take over, this job will remain mine.

And all in all, even when it's at its worst like now. I still wouldn't give it up.

??? POV

I wash the blood off my hands of yet another pack member I had killed. Sighing a little as I watch the blood go down the drain. I change into something else as well, throwing the previous clothes I had on out.

The plan worked, little Blaire got hurt. And now, after spending time with her, I've gain lots of useful information. She had to get hurt in order for me to get some things I had needed.

My leader wasn't too happy when I explained how childish she was. He was expecting a strong beta female. But after explaining how tough her wolf was, he was a lot happier.

Our group of rogues had been stealing alphas daughters, betas daughters, thirds daughters and the odd other one that we knew was strong. We plan on breeding an army of strong wolves. Blaire, well, she was the start and she's the end.

We already have all the girls we need. We just want them all to be pregnant in around the same time so that we can raise all their offspring together.

It's been hard, we're constantly moving since we're constantly being chased. But, we just managed to get an underground bunker for the time being. We are planning on making a trip across seas after we get Blaire. Just so we can raise our army in safety.

I've told them all I can about Blaire, her innocence. And they always laugh. They're all ready to take her and my leader, well, he wants to be the father of the child she has. Personally, I find it quite disgusting. But, I'm only in this because of my own daughter. They threatened to take her too if I didn't cooperate.

Maybe she's in the coma, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to protect my baby with my life.
