Adalwolf-POV
Her weight lay heavey on my shoulder and her heart breaking sob slowly faded away. She must have passed out.
I kept my hold on her as i ran my fingers through her blond hair. I gently rocked her back and forth even though she doesn't need my comfort at the moment.

I didn't let her go until i heard someone softly open the door. I slowly laid her down before looking over my shoulder to see Harke standing by the door.
My brother stared at me with hesitation before he looked over to Rori.
Rori...my Rori.
"Is she okay?" Harke asked me with a soft tone. A tone i haven't heard in four years.
The giant lump in my throat prevented me from speaking. So i just shook my head.
Her sudden breakdown had taken me by surprise. But i could guess why she was so disturbed.

The attack was brutal. Those shadow creatures were after her. They were going to take her from me.
I was down in my wolf form when i saw them fling a net over her. I heard her scream as if she was being burned by fire.
I had shifted by into my human form to get to her but those things had held me down.
I had to watch helplessly as she sobbed and sreamed for help.

Today was a close shot. Those things had almost succeded. I was fighting with all i had when i heard a loud flap of wings and a giant shadow covered the field.
I didn't even get time to think what it might be before it landed on the ground with a loud thud. It was a giant, fire breathing Dragon. An actual Dragon.
It had landed right next to Rori and tore the net off her body before laying flame upon flame on the shadows.
As soon as the shadows were off me, i didn't waste any time standing around. Instead, i ran towards Rori who was curled up in a ball.
I had picked her up in my arms and left for the pack hospital. But before i walked away, i had seen a man standing naked in the exact same spot where the giant dragon was.
Diago.
***
A sigh escaped my lips as i looked down at Rori. Her tear stained cheeks were flushed and bright red. If we weren't in this bad situassion, i would have reached out to pinch those cheeks.
I chuckled softly before wipping the tears off her face. There was only one time in my life that i was scared like this before.
The day Brandon came back with half his face all messed up four years ago. The same day when i realized that my Rori might be dead.
There was a plan. A perfect plan to keep my Rori safe. But that plan was distroyed with in a matter of a day.
I looked for her, you know. For months, i looked the entire forest and the town i was sending her too. But she had just disappeared.
The though of her out there somewhere, hurt because i was a cowered, broke me beyond anything.
Brandon is a strong wolf. And if the car crash had left him scarred the way it did, i didn't even want to think how she would have been.
I never gave up on my search though. I still had wolves all over searching for my mate until the day i found her in silver fang pack.
My heart had literaly stopped when i saw her with Brandons' mate.
My first insticts was to tackle her. Grab her and pull her into my arms. Never let her go. But i held back.
She looked...beautiful. I have always though she was, but now, she has more color to her...more life.
Her ashy blong hair looked brighter that i just want to run my fingers through the strands all day long.
Her once sharp cheek bones are now covered with more flesh. They are so full and chubby that i just want to cup them in my hands as i kiss her.
She used to be so tiny that i used to be scared i would break her when we hug. But now she looked stronger.
She had that leather bag over her shoulder evertime i saw her, looking all badass.
In general, she looked different but still the same as well. If that makes any sence.
Rori stirred a little and i focused on her sleeping face. Right now, she looks so fragile and small, like i want to hold her and protect her against the world.
I took her pale hand in mine and placed a kiss on her knuckles.
"You should go." Harke spoke and i glanced at him to see that he wasn't even looking in my direction.
I deserve it.
Harke stopped being my baby brother the second i annouced that Rori was missing and that it was all my fault. That's right. Every single wolf in this pack knows what i did and why i did it.
After month of looking for her, my father was growing impatient with me and my excuses to hold off on taking the Alphas position.
And so, at my alphas ceremony, i announced that Rori was- is - my mate and my stupid excuse has cost me her. My announcment must have been a shock to everyone, but not a single wolf spoke oppositions to me. Some had even tried to help me find her while others internaly danced at her disappearance.
"I'm not going anywhere, Harke." I answered only to hear him growl at me.
"You need to deal with Diago and the rest...do your alph duty and leave my friend to me."
I sighed before standing up. I forced my gaze off Rori and on to my brother.
"Harke." I called out but he just gave me the cold shoulder.
"Harke." I let out a warning but he still refused to look at me. Even my alpha aura does so little to make his wolf submit because he has never looked at me as his alpha for four years.
"Look. At. Me." I softly growled as not to disturbe Rori and i moved over to my brother.
"Harke."
He finally looked at me but not without disgust painted in his gaze.
"What?" He asked. "What do you want? Haven't you done enough?"
I took a deep breath as he glared at me.
"I'm trying, Harke. I'm trying my best to make things right. Why do insist on making things harder than they already are?" I tried to keep my voice low and soft but Harke wasn't having any of it.
"Oh, please..." he scoffed at me "I don't want anything to do with you..."
"More than now?" I cut him off "Harke, you're my baby brother and this is the longest conversation i'v had with you in the last four years. I don't know what your wolf looks like. F*ck...you ran away from me, your alpha...you brother the night you first shifted. I was meant to be there for you. I was supoosed to help you, Harke. But you were gone. You could have died out there. You could have lost your wolf and i would have to live with the fact that i failed yet another person i love...."
I didn't even realize that tears were washing down my face as i spilled my guts out. I ran both of my hands down my face and wipped the tears away in the process.
"This needs to stop, Harke." I whispered "I need my brother back. Now more than ever."
I looked back at Rori before i continued "I need both of you back."
I gave my brother a single pat on his shoulder before moving past him. He doesn't stop me as i walked out of the room and i didn't expect him to. But i did see tears well up in his eyes. I know it has been hard on him too.
My decision had hurt my brother as well as a lot of people. Rori was his rock more than i was and i took her away from him. No wonder he hates me.
But this is just the beginning. Rori, my beautiful mate...i'm never letting her go again.
