Sylvester's POV (these keep coming now)

The exchange between Alpha Caleb and Delphi had surprised me. Delphi's voice held so much passion and happiness towards the occurrences in his life.

She never spoke to me nor of me that way but I believe I never gave her a reason to.

Finding Delphi showed to be a tough task but when you're an Alpha of a pack, it is easy to know the whereabouts of your pack members.

Hearing two voices outside a worn out cottage I was immediately alerted but after a while I knew it was Alpha Caleb, though, that didn't calm my worries.

I had given a talk to myself about this, being possessive when I had no right to be. But my wolf thought it irrelevant to hold his tongue when someone was near Delphi.

Delphi's change is emotions, expression and the light in her eyes was understood by me. I had given her enough things to hate me for and seemingly, haven't found an undo button yet.

I had come here again to talk to her, see if she lets me in this time. I knew what I had done was impossible to forget and if I were in her place I'd feel the same but I also needed her.

I regretted a lot of things in my life but my first interaction with my mate being the worst regret of them all. I was being cowardly, as she had pointed out. Hiding behind excuses to not man up and be there for her as her mate.

My normal methods to woo her didn't work and doing something extraordinary was my job.

And I would do it for her, anything for her.

After hearing that Alpha Caleb had indeed found her mate I felt an emotion I've been feeling for the past couple of weeks, guilt.

He took plenty jabs at me and I knew why, he cared for her a way she wished I did. The way her eyes lit up when she heard he had found his mate ensured me that she was still the Delphi who believed in love and I was thankful that I hadn't killed her.

I stepped inside the small undeveloped house and cringed seeing the conditions she had to live in because of me, or so I thought.

I was analysing the difference between the decorations when I saw something wrapped up.

"What is that?" I stepped forward and reached out my hand to see the damage but she immediately stepped back.

"Something that is none  of your concern." Her brave voice covered the slight wavering of her tone but I chose to not push it.

"I really am sorry, Delphi." I spoke sincerely trying to get through her tough exterior. Apologising doesn't come easy to Alpha's, it isn't our place to state our decisions were wrong. A whole group of people looked up to us.

"Well, sorry didn't cover it yesterday and it will not cover it tomorrow." She stated, her eyes staring back at me with no emotion.

"Tell me what I can do, please." She seemed to consider my words.

"Actually, you can do something," she paused looking at me, a little hope bubbled in me. "You can work on staying out of my life."

I knew it wouldn't have been easy and it shouldn't be either. But I still hoped she would understand. Understand why I was the way I was.

"Look, Sylvester, I'm working to make myself better. Stop hindering my efforts."

"I want to help you, too." And I did. I knew she was going through a lot and part reason because of me.

"Really? You, the person who didn't want a mate, wants to help his mate get better. Don't make me laugh, Alpha." Dark. Her words were harsh but her tone was dark; bruised.

"I made a mistake, Delphi. A huge one. I know that I'm selfish to even ask for an acceptance of the apology but I need to. It doesn't have to be today nor does it have to be tomorrow. I just wish I could show you that you can rely on me. I am here and I know I was late and bumped heads on wrong walls but I am here now. I will be here forever, if you allow it." I poured my emotions in the words. I was ashamed to not even have an understandable reason to have rejected her. Just my twisted mind and a fearful heart

"Prove it." She stated, melting ever so slightly. "Prove it that I can trust a person like you, prove it that you are worth my time, prove it that you'll never even dream of doing something like that to me again. Prove it." She spoke with authority that demanded respect. But the pain could be heard in her voice, making me frown. She did not deserve what I had put her through.

"I will. And when I do, no one will be able to take you away from me." I promised and left to dream a new life.

I had a plan but I needed the help of people who weren't exactly my friends at the moment.

I drove back to my home and the moment I stepped in, my mother pulled me to a seat and after a few minutes I was seated across my parents.

"What's going on?" I questioned staring at the worried faces of the elders I'd looked up to my entire life.

"We heard, Sylv, about the rejection." My mother's words were calm but I could see the distress this caused her and the disappointment just at the surface.

"I-I," I stuttered not finding the correct words.

"We didn't expect this from you, I was worried quite a bit when I followed your irresponsible actions in high school and college but I guessed it would come to a stop when you find your mate." My mother, a lady of impossibly high morals, shook her head not believing her reality.

My dad, a ruthless Alpha, didn't look worried no, he looked angry. I knew they wouldn't be pleased at my doings.

"I made a mistake, mom. I didn't know what I was doing, truly." I tangled my fingers together and looked in their eyes with guilt.

"What a great surprise, a twenty year old Alpha unaware of his actions. You do make me laugh, Sylvester." My dad was a man of few words but when he spoke, the world shook under his tone.

"Please, mom-dad. I need you to support me in this. I want her back."

"We'll support you-" my mom started but my dad cut her off.

"She is our well established pack doctor's daughter. Her dad and I go way back, we were great friends in our childhood. How could you bring such shame to our name?" I knew his words were harsh but the truth behind them made me shudder. The consequences of my mistake were bigger than I could have ever imagined.

"David!" My mother exclaimed, horrified at the words that left her husband's mouth. She understood a part of why I was the way I was. She understood a fraction of my actions and that allowed her to be a little bit more considerate. My father looked like he was ready to disown me then and there.

"What, Martha? I'm only speaking the truth, aren't I?"

"Dad. I'm not turning my head away from the disastrous effects of my actions but making amends, I will bring her back, dad. Or I'll die trying." Confidence poured through my demeanour and it was a great deal to stand up to so many promises.

"We believe you, son. And support you too. Just bring her back." My mother was always the one to clam the situation and did often suffer the after affects of it too.

Dad didn't say anything more just looked into a far distance but the disappointment in his eyes shone bright. I had done so many people wrong and it was time to pay.

"I will, mom. I will."

I went back to my room rummaging through my mind to bring ideas. I had to speak to those who are close to her as I didn't get a chance to get to know her.

Don't screw this up, Sylvester. She is very important to me. My wolf whispered in my mind.

She is to me too. And so I made up my mind.

I picked up my phone and dialed the number I knew would know her the best.

"Hello?" The receiver spoke.

"I need your help. And before you deny, this is for her."

And so the plan began.
