Chapter Eight: "Echo Through the Valley"

Kalen's point of view 

I saw Emilia and she saw me. She looked horrible, she was skinnier than normal, her hair was all matted, there was dirt all over her beautiful tan skin, she looked as if she hasn't slept in days. It made me feel horrible seeing my imprint looking like this, but she left because of me. I looked at her and soon she took off running and I ran after her. She didn't make it far before she slipped and face planted in the deep snow.

I stood over her as she had buried her face into the snow. I went picked her up by her foot and she glared at me and said "don't you dare touch me, I know what you did with Abby you man-whore!" a ton of emotions ran through my body and my head. I knew I had hurt her and it killed me.  

She looked at me with hatred and disgust as she said "you might be my alpha but you will never be anything else. I hate you" she brushed herself off and phased to her wolf before running away.

I was left standing there in the snow watching my imprint run off. She hated me and there is no way I can ever make it up to her. I knew I had hurt her beyond belief and she has all the right in the world to never want to see me again. I looked down at the snow covered forest floor and fell backwards. What is the point if I don't have my imprint? There is no point on doing nothing if I don't have Emilia and Kaya.  

I heard Ace whine sadly and it made me feel even worse. Ace didn't deserve this pain nor did he deserve to have such a fuck up as his host. As all of theses thoughts ran through my mind I could feel my pack searching for me. I couldn't feel Emilia or kaya, that could only mean they left our territory which is extremely dangerous. She is strong and a good fighter but to other wolves she will get hurt or even worse killed... 

I needed to find her as fast as I could. As I got up from the snow my pack shows up and look at me. I look them all and said "we have to find Emilia before she gets killed. She left the territory and if another pack, rogue or hunter finds her she won't be able to survive." I heard Abby scoff and said "she deserves to die, she is worthless and ugly. " 

I quickly grabbed her by the throat and said "don't you ever say anything about my mate, you slut" I dropped her onto her knees before walking away pissed. Abby glared at me and said "you deserve so much better that her, she is a freak and she is a cunt! She doesn't deserve you, she deserves to die and if I get my hands on her she will have a broken neck!" Before I could get my hands on her she was in her wolf and going into the woods. I phased quickly and ran after her with the rest of my pack right behind me and Xavier was right besides me. He looked at me and said "K, what has gotten into you, your more connected to her when you two fight, it's like you passed the imprinting and mating acceptance?" I looked at him for a split second and said "I don't know X, it feels stronger than imprinting and mating. It feels like when she isn't with me it feels like I can't breath, I don't know what to do?" 

As we ran into the clearing of a field we all heard a loud gun shot. We all stopped in our tracks as the gun shot echo's through the valley...
