“I know, I”

“Why? Why did you defend her at the pack meeting?”

“I..-”

“Tell me or I am walking, I will walk away from both of you”

“Lana”-

“Do you love her?” I ask him.

“What no, it's not that, I love you, not her. I just want you to get along, she is my friend that’s it”

“A friend that means more to you then your mate” I tell him, hopping out.

“I can’t just turn my back on her Lana”

“No, and you also can’t choose me over her” I tell him, wrapping my towel around me.

“She saved my life” he says as I opened the door. I stop, turning back to him.

“What?”

“You are not the only one that suffers with depression Lana, after Drake rejected me I hung myself she cut me down, lived with me for two years and kept me sane while he fooled around with anyone, I had nobody here, my mother was dead, I killed my father I had nothing but the mate bond and then he took that from me, so I tried to end it, Melinda saved me, I kicked her out when she wanted more, more than I could give her. I wasn’t going to mate her, I never loved her more than a friend Lana”

“Is that why you drink so much?” I ask him.

“I don’t have a drinking problem Lana”

“Could have fooled me, I haven’t seen you go without drinking since I got here, Drake thinks the same thing, only he won’t say it”

“I will stop then but will you at least come back in the shower” I turn leaving him, walking out the door and closing the door behind me and I hear him sigh before cursing.

Drake was standing in the hall listening, “Eavesdropping?” I ask and he nods as I walk into the spare room and grab my pyjamas from the drawer.

Drake walks in and I turn away from him as I get dressed. When I turn around, he was sitting on the bed.

“I didn’t know that” He says making me look at him, he put his head in hands and I could see he felt guilty.

“I have fucked everything up, I never meant to hurt any of you, you know that right” I press my lips together and nod drying my hair with my towel.

“Please don’t be mad at him, Lana. I can’t handle his guilt anymore; I know you feel it” He says.

“I’m not mad, I just don’t feel like I belong here”

“You belong with us, both of us. Please don’t leave when your sister comes, I know you are planning to, I overheard you on the phone” He says.

“We won’t stop you if you do, but please stay” He says walking out of the room.

Chapter31

Lana POV

I climb in bed, yet I felt extremely restless, I heard them go to bed a few hours ago, could hear their soft snoring through the wall. My wounds still aching and the bloodlust keeping me awake as I fought against it. Every noise in the house irritating me as I try to get comfortable, try to find sleep. Looking at the clock on my phone screen it was 2 AM.

Getting up, I go to the kitchen and get a drink of milk, opening the fridge I find all Tate’s beer gone and sigh looking in the bin, but they weren’t in there. Walking outside I check the bin, surely, he didn’t drink an entire carton, I think to myself as I open the bin.

I find the carton all the bottle still full. I grab them out opening them and emptying them on the grass. I had emptied three of them when I hear his voice behind me making me jump.
