I lie with my eyes closed on the ground covered in blood with five dead rogues scattered around me.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" I hear a voice that I haven't heard in a very long time sneer. I snap my eyes open and look up seeing caramel brown ones staring back down at me.

" Why are you here Zen." I sigh closing my eyes again.

"I was just wondering around, it's purely luck that I found you darling." I hear the leaves crunch signaling he sat down. Zen is a demon cast to earth in search of lost and broken souls to drag to hell but he kind of steered from his assignment and now goes around helping people or some shit. Satan must be so angry. Demons are naturally drawn to death and destruction so that's how he found me in the middle of one of my many rogue massacres.

"Well you can leave now." I groan covering my eyes with my hand.

"Fine, see you soon darling." The leaves shuffle and I open my eyes checking if he is gone.

You really screwed up this time Rowan. Maeve says disapprovingly.

"I'm trying my hardest to be a good mate." I defend myself.

Well you are doing a crap job. Maeve sneers back.

"I know." I sigh.

I can feel his pain. If you don't fix things with mate, I will take control and do it myself. She threatens, I really fucked up this time. What if he hates me now? God I've been so terrible to him, how could he possibly want to even be near me. I'm such a fuck up. I should just leave.

I won't let you run from him again. Maeve warns, even she is mad at me.

I deserve it.

Running in wolf form helps clear my mind. After two days I think I have my uh...emotions together. I'm scared, I haven't been this scared since that night. The sun hasn't even risen yet but I sit down in wolf form on the edge of the forest watching the house, waiting for him to come back.

I don't know how long I've been sitting here, all I know is that the sun is shining bright contrasting my mood. Then I finally see him stalk toward the porch looking absolutely terrible, all because of me. I sprint forward tackling him to the ground shifting back ontop of him.

"We need to talk." I breath staring down at his pain filled crystal green eyes.

"There's nothing to talk about unless you figured your shit out." He says lowly while glaring up at me.

"I have...I think, I want to make up for all the shit I've put you through. " I reply looking down at him with pleading eyes.

"Alright, we can do this inside." He sighs but agrees. I get off him and take his hand in mine leading us to the living room where I have him sit on the couch.

"Alph-Harry, I've been the most shittiest mate and I completely understand if you no longer want me." He opens his mouth to say something but I hold up my hand stopping him. It's so weird calling him by his first name. "Just let me talk." I say and he nods.

"Okay uh, I'm not very good at this." I cough nervously. Get your shit together Rowan.

"I have no idea where to start but I just want you to know that somewhere deep down in the cold depths of my heart I c-care for you." I stop looking for an indication that he is going to leave. None.
