Scarlett p.o.v

"I'm sorry."

We both blurt out at the same time. He chuckles nervously and I sigh.

"Who goes first? I go first or you go first?"

We ask at the same time yet again. I sigh and he chuckles nervously again.

"You go first."

I tell him and he sighs. He runs , hand through his hair and he takes my hand.

"Follow me?"

He asks and I nod. He leads me into the woods and near a cliff face. I see a log bench and we take our seats on that.

"I'm sorry about everything. I wasn't in my right mind. I might have said some things I shouldn't have. I never thought this would happen to my mate. Or with anyone for that matter.

I never wanted to hurt you, and I did. My wolf is blocking me out even though we are both at fault. Mates shouldn't be able to hurt one another yet here we are.

We were so blinded by anger that we couldn't feel the mate bond. I feel absolutely terrible and I feel like a horrible mate.

I don't deserve this, but will you grant me forgiveness?"

He tells me and I gasp. This is so heartfelt that even Demitri would think it's cute.

"I'm forgive you. But I also need to apologize.

I wasn't in my correct mind set and every little thing ticked me off. When I tried to help you and you responded harshly to me that just made it worse. My wolf was also angry as well about it.

Mates fit together like the moon and the stars, like the color green and the grass, like the sun and the blue sky. You ever see those turning against one another. Never ever. They go together like you and me.

I was so blinded by anger I was tempted to reject you. I wanted to reject you, but I didn't. I thought of your pack and all the people in it. But I also thought that is the moon goddess paired us up, why make her redo her work.

I should not even be asking for your forgiveness but I am. I need to go to sleep tonight, I need to walk away from this conversation knowing I'm forgiven by my mate. Nothing could ever make up for the pain I caused you.

Will you forgive me Derek?"

I asked him and he smiles. He grabs my hand and holds it in his.

"I would gladly forgive my mate. Scarlett, do you think we could start over? You know with everything?"

He asks and I giggle.

"I would love nothing more."

I tell him and we both stand.

"Hello, I'm alpha Derek, your mate. My pack is falling apart with a recent bombing done by the Rouge king. Would you like to be my Luna?"

He asks me and I burst out laughing. He tried to contain his laughter but failed miserably. He laughed along with me as well.

"Well hello Derek. I'm Scarlett, your mate that recently kicked your butt. I have two annoying brothers which are in the tree above us spying."

I say and we shake hands. Noah and landon fall out of the tree I pointed to during my hello. They both burst out laughing.

"Nice to meet cha."

He says trying to mimic a Harley Quinn voice. He fails miserably and we all laugh some more.

I take his hand and lead him out of the woods. We walk out and Altaïr and Kaden look at us. Noah and Landon run up from behind us with a video camera.

"Let's see it!"

Kaden shouts as all 4 guys huddle around the camera. Apparently they took a video of mine and Derek's apologies.

They all begin laughing and look at us.

"My pack is falling apart?! Really?!"

Altaïr yells and Derek smirks.

"It's the first thing that came to mind!"

Derek says as he holds his hands up in mock surrender. We all laugh and walk back to the newly finished pack house.

"How did this get finished so fast?"

I ask them as we walk into it. It looks the same as before. Derek slings his arm over my shoulders.

"The power of over 1500 wolves working together."

Derek says as he looks down at me. I grab his hand with my own as we walk. The place is fully furnished and everything.

We are all in Derek's office. The walls are tan and the floor is a hard wood. The white carpet is under his dark oak desk and brown leather chairs. Two book shelves are in the cornor with a couch in between them. There is a fire place and it's lit.

Derek's phone goes off and he puts it on speaker. He's sitting in his big spinny chair that's black leather. I'm seated across his desk in one of the other chairs with Altaïr next to me. Kaden, Noah, Landon, and Nia are all on the couches or on the floor.

"Alpha of nobility."

Derek says as he plays with a fidget spinner.

"Hello there."

A voice says on the other line. Landon pulls Nia closer to him and I walk over to Derek. Altaïr and Kaden move closer to the desk and Noah walks over towards me. Only one voice can cause this.

The alpha of the rouges, Demitri.

"What do you want?"

Altaïr growls at the phone and Demitri chuckles.

"You see I'm here for that beautiful Luna of the nobles. My son wants a play toy."

Demitri says without a care in the world.

"Over my dead body."

Derek growls and Demitri chuckles.

"That can be arranged."

He says and hangs up. The lights go off and Derek engulfs me in his arms. Noah latches himself to Altaïr and Kaden while Nia screams as she clings to Landon.

The lights flicker back on and written on the wall behind us are world's written in red spray pant.

Can be arranged kid. Or I could do worse.

I groaned and they all looked to me.

"We just got that wall repainted!"
