Her Sacrifice

~Alina Pov~

I stirred awake, I looked around in a daze then turned to look outside the window, and seeing it was already dark, I wasn't bothered and turned to look at Kennedy who was deep into his dreams.

I leaned closer to him and kissed his forehead, then caressed the eye bag under his eyes. I know he is tired as he hasn't been resting but this was good too, he needs to rest.

I sighed quietly then climbed down from the bed and picked up my clothes to wear. I did everything quietly and even I was shocked that Kennedy who had always been alert hadn't woken up, but I smiled gently as I knew he was only like this because he loves me.

I tied my hair up, then looked at him deeply and walked out of the door. Immediately I locked the door, busted out, and ran downstairs then into the forest. While running I shifted into my wolf who feels better and energetic. My wolf ran towards the place where had come from this morning and I was glad I had put the setting and Lane in my heart so it was easy for me to go back.

I got there in less than an hour, shifted back into Human, and then knocked loudly and urgently on the door. Not even a minute the door opened to reveal a young man I was not familiar with but he seemed to know me. His eyes widened in surprise and then he looked at my back but seeing nobody following me he frowned.

I pressed my lips and entered the door and without looking at him I walked towards the house I knew my parents were staying in. I could feel his confused gaze following me but I didn't have that time now.

Immediately I got to my parent's door, I took a deep breath then knocked on it, I didn't hear a response at first but after knocking for a second time, I heard their footsteps then the door opened to reveal my mother who had a blank face on her face but upon seeing me, she smiled happily.

"Alina!" She called out then dragged me into the house after seeing I was alone. I walked into the house then looked at my parent who looked happy I had come back but I knew better-

"Why did you run off in the morning? Do you know how worried Mum and Dad were? Huh?!" Mother said then reached out to hold my hands.

I shook my head and pulse my lips. I looked at them deeply then began gesturing, "Mum, Dad! I need to talk to you."

They both looked at each other and turned to look at me at the same time. I felt so much tension, my heartbeat was beating so fast that I suddenly felt speechless.

"Is this the right thing to do? Will they blame me and call me ungrateful? But-" I thought then gritted my teeth.

"Mum, Dad! If I may ask, how many of that stone do you have?" I asked in gestures and looked at them hopefully.

My dad forcefully stood up and pointed at me angrily, "Alina Dillard! Have you allowed that man to dull your brain?! He asked you for it, right? He wants the black stone, right?! Why are you so stupid?!" He yelled angrily then heaved hardly.

I wanted to walk closer to him to pat his back but he glared at me angrily and my mum went closer to him to do the necessary. I bite my lips and look at them before shaking my head. My eyes were filled with unshed tears, I wish they understood how I felt and they kept misunderstanding Kennedy which didn't sit well with me.

My mum shook her head in disappointment, "Alina. I won't allow you to give this to him. He is your mate and should sacrifice this for you. He should want you safe and not the other way around. I know this stone can make him powerful, but then he should think about you!"

I held my head in pain, how did they misunderstand Ken this way? What impression has my mate left for them to see him as an unfaithful person?

I calmed my heart down and began explaining with gestures, "Mum! Kennedy doesn't even know I am here! I put him to sleep! Yes, Ken needs the Black stone and he had been looking for it for years. But it's not for his use, it's for his sister! Ken is so powerful that he doesn't even need the power of the Stone, he only wants to save his sister who has been in a coma since she was a kid, now she is an adult but she is still unconscious. He only wants to save her and only the power of the stone can!" I explained then burst into tears.

I looked at their stunned faces, then continued, "And you know what? He still chooses to save my voice! He still chooses to use it on me! So why doubt him? Why?!" I gestured aggressively.

Then I looked at them and suddenly knelt on the floor.

My knees made a loud sound and it scared them. They both looked at me stunned. I swallowed hard and looked down as I didn't want to see the disappointment in their eyes.

I gestured, "Please, Save a life. Adana is still young and she has a life to live, please, I can heal my voice later and if there is no other solution, then-I have nothing to lose."

I looked up at them and saw my mum's face filled with her tears and my father's face was turned to the other side.

I bite my lips and watch them. I just hope they listen to my pleas and help me.

Mum smiled through her tears, "You love him that much? Is it worth it, baby? Is he worth it?!" She asked again and this time powerfully.

I nodded without thinking more. Yes! Ken worth it! He is worth it!

She smiled again then nodded her head, "Okay! Take me to the girl. I want to see her and I will check her to see if truly I can save her and if we can't, then you can do whatever you want!"

I looked at her in excitement then stood up and jumped on her. We exchanged smiles then I held both their hands and looked out of the window.

"Let's go! I don't want Kennedy to know about this!"
