Rebecca/Belle's POV:
I was so busy attacking the rogue wolves that I didn't notice that one big black wolf was eyeing my movements. It attacked me all of a sudden, and I felt pain in my leg.
"We need to go back to Will for help. Or else we will lose another life," Trisha said.
But before I could question her about what she meant by that, the wolf attacked me with so much force that I spat out blood. I wiped away the blood and tried to gather all my strength to fight him back.
I looked at him with so much hatred, and I noticed that it was Matt, the leader of the rogues, because his wolf was much bigger than mine.
Compared to him, he was so much stronger than me as my attack didn't affect him that much. He grabbed my neck and lifted me. I was gasping for air, unable to breathe properly.
He had an evil smile that I did not like.
"If you follow me and tell that Alpha of yours to stop this wars, I promise that I will leave them alone. I will not let them die if you willingly follow me."
He released my neck, and I gasped for air.
I looked at him.
"I will not submit to you even if it takes my last breath."
Matt let out an evil smile.
"Feisty, I like it. But since you do not wish to follow me, I will grant you your wish and let you have a slow death. I will make sure you regret not listening to my order."
He kicked my leg, and I let out a painful groan. I bit his tail, and he let out a scary groan. Then, he kicked me so hard that I flew up and came crashing to the ground.
While he was walking towards where I was, he laughed.
"You are going to lose this war, and you can't do anything to save your pathetic pack. Once all of you are dead, I'm going to make the children in the pack my slaves and the women for my pack to torture."
My whole body was on fire as it was too painful. He shifted into his human form and took out a silver dagger. Just like that, I closed my eyes, realizing that I had lost. But the blow never came.
I opened my eyes and realized that Blake had taken the hit. I saw William fighting against Matt, but I did not care about him as Blake was lying on the ground unconscious. There was a pool of blood around him, and his face was so pale.
I slowly made my way to Blake, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and started to cry.
I sobbed loudly, "Blake, why did you do it! You should have let me die!"
He touched my cheek with his bloody hands.
"I…had…done so many things that hurt you in the past. This is my chance to make up for you."
I applied pressure to his wound.
"You could have done it in another way."
He spat out so much blood.
"I…hope…you will be happy with Alpha William. I need… you to…do one more favor for me."
"What is it?"
He held my hand.
"I…need you to reject me so that you and I can have closure. I w-want you t-to live happily with him."
I nodded. I looked at him in the eyes and said, "I, Belle Daphne, reject you, Alpha Blake, as my mate."
He was crying as tears rolled down his cheek.
"Thank you. I love you."
He was slowly losing his life, as my wolf sensed it, and I shouted at him, "Don't leave me, please."
"Sorry, my belle," he apologized.
With just the word sorry, he left me with closure. My best friend I once knew and my true mate that the Moon Goddess blessed me with was dead. I cried in pain, hating the Moon Goddess's plan of making him one of the people that I loved leaving me.
I felt my heart clenching with pain, and I fell to the ground next to him, losing my consciousness.
William's POV:
What Alpha Blake did was very noble. He saved my sweetheart, and it was something I could not repay him for. Many people in my pack and his were dead. And one of them was Rebecca's dad. I did not know how to bring up her father's death.
Because when Alpha Blake died in her arms, it had a great effect on her. The war was bad as our ground was damaged, but luckily, our house was still perfectly okay.
I was grateful to everyone who had helped in the war and was relieved to hear that the women and children in my pack were safe.
Rebecca was injured, as well as her wolf, because both of them lost their soulmate. She had been in a coma for two weeks since she witnessed Blake's death.
Whenever I came into her room, I always said "I love you" to her as I missed her sleeping by me and her laughter. I couldn't wait to tell her my surprise, and I hoped it would give her the strength to stand again.
I was on the verge of breaking down since the pack doctor told me that she did not know when she would be up. I was glad that Rose had always been there for me to support me. She even cooked me food when I did not have the appetite to eat, but she found ways to convince me to.
It turned out, Rose was pregnant after one week of the war. I was so happy for her and her mate, and I couldn't wait to meet my nephew/niece.
Every day, I prayed to the Moon Goddess for her to wake Rebecca up, and I hope she heard my prayer.
Rebecca's POV:
I found myself in a beautiful garden with soft music playing somewhere. I walked and walked until I found a beautiful woman with black hair playing the violin.
"Your music is nice. I love it."
She stopped playing and faced me.
"I have been expecting you, Rebecca, or should I call you Belle instead?"
I smiled.
"Rebecca will do. May I know what your name is?"
She smiled.
"I am Kristin, William's mate."
"Oh! It's a pleasure to see you. I'm sorry to hear that you were killed by a rogue."
She laughed.
"There's nothing to apologize for; however, I want to thank you."
I raised my eyebrow.
"Thank me? Why?"
She had a sad smile.
"Since I've been dead, William and his wolf did not take it well. But after he met you, I saw from up here that he was happy with you like he was happy with me before. You lit up his whole life again, and that is why I am thankful."
I smiled.
"You're welcome. But why are you telling me all this?"
"Because there is a particular person who needs you beside him, or else he is going to drink his sorrows again like before. He needs you, Rebecca. You have been in a coma for one month, and it's truly killing him because he does not know when you will wake up. So, I'm here to help you. Follow me," she said.
I followed behind her, and she led me to a door with a bright light coming out of it.
"Walk through that door, and you will wake up. I wish you all the best for your happiness with William," she said.
I smiled and hugged her, saying, "Thank you, I will."
I walked through the door and found myself having the strength to wake up this time.
One month later…
I was in my study when all of a sudden, someone knocked on my door loudly.
Rose came in and shouted, "Rebecca has woken up, and she requested your presence."
I quickly got up from my chair and used my wolf speed to go to her room.
When I was in her room, I noticed how beautiful she looked after waking up, and I went beside her bed.
"How are you feeling? I've missed you so much. Don't leave me ever again."
She laughed.
"I think I am okay. I will not leave you ever again, my Will."
I hugged her.
"I will always be there for you."
She kissed me.
"Thank you. So, what happened after I lost consciousness and went into a coma?"
"I killed Matt and all his other wolves. Many of our members died, and Alpha Blake's pack members did too. And one of them was your dad," I recalled.
When she heard what I said, she started to cry.
"I failed my duty as his daughter. I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to him."
"You were a good daughter to him. He just did not know what you had been through, and you left him. But he is proud of who you have become, so don't think that way," I told her.
She nodded and wiped her tears. She looked at me.
"I love you."
I smiled.
"I love you too, baby. Oh! I still have one more thing to tell you."
She tilted her head.
"What thing?"
"You are pregnant with my child, Rebecca, and Rose happens to be pregnant too."
She was shocked and said, "Really? I am pregnant?"
I kissed her on her forehead.
"Yes, my love. You are three months pregnant."
She smiled.
"We are going to make good parents for our children."
I put my hand on her stomach, rubbed it, and told her, "What sex do you think our baby is?"
"I want a boy so that our baby boy will protect his younger siblings," she said.
I smirked.
"You want him to have his younger brother/sister? Then we better prepare straight away once our baby is out so that we can have the next child."
When she heard what I said, her cheeks turned red.
"You look cute when you blush."
I unbuttoned my shirt and took it off.
"It feels so hot here."
She gulped, and I could sense the need for me to mark her.
"I want to mark you."
She smiled.
"Me too."
I kissed her passionately and trailed my kisses down her neck and sucked the spot on her neck that should bear my mark.
That day was one of the most blissful moments that we had ever experienced. She was going to be a great Luna and mother to my children.
