DAMON.

　　I turned back and was shocked to see Brittany. I wasn't shocked by the fact that I saw her in the forest but by the fact that she is looking really scary right now. That makes me wonder what could have happened to her. She looked rough and unkempt, her hair shattered all over her face, her eyes very red and swollen with tears that made me wonder what could have caused her to be this emotional. Her clothes were torn apart just looking like pieces of rags.

　　All thanks to her if not for her I would have been dead by now because I know if not for her I would have fallen into the deep cliff just because I was thinking in the world of hallucination.

　　I need to know what is wrong with her. There must be something that would make her look this way. I looked up at the sky which darkened and rain began to fall heavily with thunderstorms in the sky. I wanted to know what could be the reason why she had come to the forest by herself without any company even though she knew it was raining really hard. But I think it is best if I keep my mouth closed because she is looking. It seems like she isn't in the right state of mind. Our bodies were both drained in the rain but we only stood staring at each other, perhaps waiting for the first person to make a statement or start the talk. Well, I decided to ask the reason why she is in the forest.

　　"Brittany, if I may ask what is wrong with you that you're looking this way and why are you in the forest with no company in this rain?"

　　"Or would like to come to my pack with me?''

　　It was an opportunity to get to know each other well since we are fake mates even though she doesn't know much about it. I stared at her expecting a word from her but to my utmost surprise and shock she only stared at me blankly without uttering a word. I was really surprised and shocked at the same time. I mean Brittany I knew and had encountered for some period of time would always make sure she got my attention.

　　Since she held my hand I had known something wrong had happened to her. But I couldn't point out what was wrong with her. But what could really be the reason she is acting this way? Could it be that one of her relatives, whom she really loved, had died? No, because it seems she doesn't have relatives but only her mother. Her father is said to be killed by an unknown and anonymous Alpha. Or could it be because her mother is dead? That is the only thing that I could think that can make her this way. Her mother is a powerful witch who can defend herself.

　　I watched as she looked up with her eyes really red and swollen. I was surprised as she asked me a question which seemed to be similar to the question I had asked her.

　　"Can I know the reason why you are here?"I don't think I have to reply to this question because I also asked her a question which she had refused to reply to me. I had also wanted to ignore her question like she did to mine but I decided not to act that way because she is not always like that. There must be something which is bothering her even though I can't point it out.

　　"Well, actually I came to free up my bothered mind."

　　"What could be the reason?"I was beginning to get suspicious of her because I didn't understand her question. She has been asking me but couldn't reply to my question. She looked at me with a curious look waiting for my reply.

　　"Well, after my mate Carlisle had left me more like a rejection. Days passed by and the elder of the pack called a meeting which involved me. They gave me an ultimatum of three moon days to bring back my mate or wife or I would be expelled out of the pack as the Alpha. I would have gotten myself a wife but I love Carlisle and can't afford to lose her ''I don't know why I'm telling her this but it seems I was being expelled for doing so. While talking about Carlisle to her I could feel a surge of anger and jealousy passing through my veins. I could feel my aching so bad that I couldn't control myself.

　　I stared at her crystal pink lips which seemed to be like Carlisle's own exactly. Absent-minded, I held her by her waist and brought my lips closer and slammed it on her. I felt her body shiver as my hand wrapped around her waist firmly. I brought my face closer to her and slammed my lips on her, kissing her roughly and passionately. I was surprised that she didn't do anything but succumb to the kiss.

　　It seems like she had been expecting this kiss for ages now.

　　?

　　BRITTANY.

　　I looked up as a familiar nice scent came across my nose, deciding to leave for the direction. Getting closer, the scent was becoming stronger as I got closer. I stopped on my track as my eyes landed on a man who was in front of a cliff. It seem the person want to commit suicide because he lift his left about to jump into the cliff. As much as I really want to mind my business I decided to save his life. But I don't know what the person is thinking that could make him commit suicide. I rushed at his back and held his left hand firmly and drew him backward. Immediately my skin touched the person. It seemed I had known the person not far away from us. But who could I know that would want to commit suicide?

　　I watched as the person turned his front at me and to my utmost surprise the person turned out to be Damon. He looked at me surprised. I was also surprised to see him in this state.

　　What could really be his problem that would make him almost commit suicide the second time? He must also be having a hard time like I'm having. He seemed to be in great trauma which caused me to wonder what was wrong with him. He isn't looking nice at all even though his handsomeness isn't something I could downgrade because he is looking as handsome as before.

　　It seems everyone has his or her problem.

　　I stared at him thinking what could be the caused of his attempt of second suicide. He was surprised with the way I'm looking right now. I'm looking at rugs and haggards.

　　"Brittany, if I may ask what is wrong with you that you're looking this way and why are you in the forest with no company in this rain?"

　　"Or would you like to come with me?" I didn't bother to reply to him because I was thinking of a way I could break the news down to him. That my mother is almost dead and needs help. I decided to ask the reason why he was here because I want to start a conversation.

　　"Can I know the reason why you are here?" He looked at me not expecting to ask that question from me because it was the same question which he asked me that I didn't reply to him.

　　"Well, actually I came to free up my bothered mind," he replied.

　　"What could be the reason?"he wasn't expecting that question from me.

　　"Well, after my mate Carlisle had left me more like a rejection. Days passed by and the elder of the pack called a meeting which involved me. They gave me an ultimatum of three moon days to bring back my mate or wife or I would be expelled out of the pack as the Alpha. I would have gotten myself a wife but I love Carlisle and can't afford to lose her."

　　I was surprised that Carlisle was the reason for his trauma which had almost led him to death. As he walked I could feel a surge of pain flowing through his body system and he lost control of himself. I shivered as he held me by my waist and brought his face closer. He kissed me roughly but passionately, and I had no choice but to reciprocate the kiss. I have been anticipating how his lips would look on my lips and I have the opportunity to taste. I can't let it slide.

　　His lips indeed taste like a strawberry mixed with vanilla flavor.
