cry and I don’t ever want to see it again.

“There’s nothing we can do.” Austin said quietly

“There has to be something.” She said with pleading eyes

They all looked sad and sympathetic as they looked down at Benjamin and Kelsey.

“Is there no one that can help him?” She asked

“No one can bring back the dead except healers.” Declan said, his voice thick from crying

“Are there any healers around here?” She asked

“No. She’s lived all the way across the country. Healers are basically extinct.” Declan sobbed quietly

She stayed silent for awhile. She had this look like she was listening intently to something. I frowned as I watched her.

“Do any of you guys know what a healer does?” She suddenly asked

Everybody shook their head, feeling as useless as I did.

She got the look again and stayed like that for a couple minutes. Then she started looking over his body. She placed her hand on his neck and the other above his heart.

Everybody had a look of confusion on their faces which I’m sure matched mine.

She closed her eyes and looked deep in thought.

“What is she doing?” Someone asked

I didn’t know who it was or care really, my eyes were glued to Kelsey. Even crying she looked beautiful. NOT the time to this about that, Kyle!

I blinked and when my eyes opened again she was glowing. There was a blue aura surrounding her. The aura got brighter and Benjamin started glowing a bright gold color.

I watched in shock and amazement. Every time Kelsey would get a brighter blue, Benjamin would turn a brighter gold.

The glowing suddenly stopped and Kelsey opened her eyes. She looked down at Benjamin who was still lying in her arms, as motionless as before.

She looked up at us, “I just did what I was told.” She sobbed

The pain of seeing her cry again overtook my curiosity of her last sentence. It’s painful to see your mate in pain, it’s even more painful because I know that there’s nothing I could do.

“Miss me?” Asked a raspy voice

Shock filled her features and she looked down at Benjamin.

“Please don’t tell me this is a hallucination.” She said

“It’s not a hallucination.” Benjamin smiled

I was too shocked to feel happy. Kelsey was a healer? There is only like one healer left in the world and she lives in Africa. How many things is she? I need answers, I just don’t know where I could get them from.

Kelsey threw her arms around Benjamin and hugged him, “It actually work!” She exclaimed

“Thank you, Kelsey.” Benjamin said in a grateful voice

“No need to thank me. It wasn’t for your benefit.” She laughed her beautiful laugh and my heart fluttered at the sound

“Well, forget you too.” Benjamin laughed with her

She pulled back and wiped her tear off with her arm, “Go get some clothes on.”

Benjamin turned brought red and started to get up.

He groaned in pain, “Dying sucks. Don‘t ever get bit by a vampire.”

Kelsey got up and helped him stand up all the way. He started walking towards the house and opened the door. I looked back at Kelsey as she ran her hands down her face.

“Bye everyone. I’m gonna go to sleep now.” She said like she was in a daze

Everybody just stared at her in shock and wonder. She shrugged and started walking towards the house when she stumbled slightly.

I started walking towards her but stopped once she regain her balance. She swayed slightly so I ran up to her and lifted her up into my arms, carrying her bridal style.

“Go to sleep, Baby.” I told her

She closed her eyes and her breathing evened out. I walked into the house and up stairs to my room. I turned the knob and kicked the door open. I walked over to my bed and gently laid her down.

She curled up into a ball and hugged the pillow. I smiled and covered her up with my blanket. I kissed her forehead before walking out of my room, shutting the door softly behind me and walking down stairs.

Everybody was sitting in the living room talking about Kelsey. Some good and some bad. Why would they talk bad about my mate? Don’t they know I can kill them without a second thought?

“Is she alright?” Benjamin asked, worry etched in every plane of his face

“Yeah, she’s sleeping right now.” I sighed

I sat down in a chair and rested my elbows on my knees, while cradling my head in my hands.

A hand rested on my shoulder, “She’s alright. No need to be so down.” My mother voice soothed

“It’s hard seeing her like this. It’s hard when I see her like this when I know that there isn’t anything that I could do.” I said with pain laced in my voice

“Son, I know it’s hard but she’s going to be alright.” My Dad assured

“How do you know? I brought her into our world knowing people would be after her. This is all my fault. It’s my fault my mate is in there exhausted from fighting. It’s all my fault.” I said quietly into my hands

“It was fate, Kyle.” My Mom’s soft voice said

“Fate my ass. Was it fate that has her dying from exhaustion right now? Was it fate to have Benjamin dying in front of her? Oh, tell me. Was it fate that hundreds of see-ers just so happen to team up with the vampire’s and humans for fuck’s sake? We just killed humans. The see-ers brought humans into this fight. Who the hell would even think that’s okay?” I asked angrily

“Don’t talk to your mother that way! Look Kyle, I know your mad and sad but you can’t take it out on everybody else. We’ll find out what exactly Kelsey is but in the mean time you just have to be there for her.” He said in a strict tone, not his Alpha tone. In his fatherly tone

I look over at my Mom, “I’m sorry I took my anger out on you. Being mad isn’t an excuse to speak to you that way.”

“It’s alright, Honey. I know you’re upset.” She smiled at me

I try to smile back but a smile wouldn’t make it’s way to my face.

“I’m gonna go up and check on her. Benjamin you can come if you want, she’ll want to see you when she wakes up.” I said looking at him

He nods and gets up.

“I’ll tell you guys when she wakes up.” I said walking up the stairs

Benjamin followed me silently. I could feel guilt rolling off him.

“There’s no need to feel guilty. She’d die for you.” I said quietly

“She already is.” He whispered

“She’s tough.” I said before I open my door

I look over at my bed and Kelsey’s gone. I started to freak out as I frantically look around the room. Then I hear the shower running. I run into my bathroom and throw the curtain back.

“Kyle!” Kelsey yells as she tries to cover herself

“Sorry.” I mutter staring at her in awe

She’s perfect. Which is weird because I don’t even believe in perfection. Imagine all the things I could do to that body. Aha!

“Get out!” She yelled holding the curtain against her

I snapped out of my lustful state and look up at her face.

“What?” I asked

“Get out!” She repeated

I smirk at her, “Am I making you uncomfortable?”

She blushed, “J-just get out.”

My smirked widened, “Okay, okay. I’m leaving.” I said while slowly backing out

I walk out and close the door behind me.

“Is she alright?” Benjamin asked worried

I turn around and smirk at him, “She’s more that alright.”

“Sicko!” He yelled at me

I laughed and plopped down on my bed. Benjamin laid down beside me and chuckled.

I heard the shower turn off and a minute later Kelsey cam out in nothing but a towel.

She turned to me and gasped, “Benji’s in here?!”

I slapped my hand over his eyes while staring at Kelsey. She ran to her suit case and grabbed it before running into the bathroom.

I took my hand away from Benjamin’s eyes.

“That hurt.” He groaned

“Sorry.” I laughed

“I wasn’t gonna look.” He said

“Yeah right.” I scoffed

“I wasn’t. She’s like my sister.” He smiled

I smiled back, “She really loves you.”

“I love her too.” He smiles, “Like a brother!” He adds quickly

I laughed at him, “I knew what you meant.”

Kelsey emerged from the bathroom in a black tank-top and some shorts.

She glared at me and sat down on the edge of the bed. I smiled cockily at her.

“What’s wrong, Baby?” I asked with wide, innocent eyes

“Shut up. Heyllo Benji!” She smiled at him

“Are you alright?” He asked guiltily

“Yeah, I was just a little exhausted early but I’m good now.” She said happily

“You sure?” I asked looking at her intensely

“Yeah.” She said slowly

I sighed, “How many times do I have to tell you? You can not lie to you mate.”

“I’m not lying.” She said quickly, a little too quickly if you ask me

“Why’d you even wake up?” I asked

“ ‘Cause I’m not tired and I want my ice cream.” She pouted

I chuckled, “Only you would still want ice cream after an attack.”

“Hell yeah! Ice cream waits for no one. Let us go!” She jumped up from the bed

She stumbled a little bit then held her hands up, “I’m okay!”

I looked over at Benjamin as he looked at me. Why can’t she just lay down and got to bed? Why do I have to have a difficult mate?

“You’re going to bed.” I stated sitting up

“Nope.” She smiled widely

“Yes, you are.”

“I don’t wanna.” She frowned

“Why won’t you just go to sleep?” I groaned

“Because I don’t wanna.” She said slowly

“Come lay down.”

“You can’t make me!” She yelled before running out of the room

I sighed and stood up, “She’s so difficult.”

“Yes she is.” Benjamin agreed as he ran after Kelsey

I went to my dresser and grabbed a shirt, then I grabbed some socks and my shoes. I ran down stairs and quickly put my shirt, socks, and shoes on.

“C’mon Kyle!” Kelsey yelled jumping up and down

I raised my brows and walked over to her, “Anyone else coming?”

“Yeah, Benji, Justin, Lucas, Ava, Seb, Olivia, Sophia, Elias, Derek, Trevor, Declan, Blake-” She said quickly but I cut her off

“So basically everyone that lives with me?” I asked

“Yes!” She smiled “Now C’mon everybody.” With that said she ran out the front door

I followed and frowned in disgust as I saw what the front yard looked like. Bodies and blood were everywhere. Blood from the…humans we killed. The see-ers are douche bags.

I looked over at Kelsey and she was looking around with horror and pain on her face. I couldn’t blame her.

I walked over to her and grabbed her hand, “I’m sorry you had to do that.”

She looked up at me, “Why is there blood everywhere?”

“There were humans in that group.” I sighed

“Why would see-ers even do that?” She asked

“I don’t know.”

“Okay…um, let’s go.” She said quickly

I nodded and all of us walked out onto the street. The ice cream parlor was right down the street so we could walk.

“So, you’re a healer, Kelsey.” Declan smiled

“I guess.” She shrugged

“That was awesome though.” Olivia nodded

“It was. You did great Kels.” Benji wrapped his arm around her shoulder

“Thanks Benji.” She smiled but it didn’t reach her eyed

I squeezed her hand and smiled down at her. She looked me and she smiled a real smile. We got to the parlor about 5 minutes later.

We walked in and there weren’t many people in there. But I could smell that there were werewolves not from our pack in here.

I shrugged it off and got in line with everybody else.


=Benji!=

As soon as I walked into the ice cream I felt…I don’t know how to explain it. Whole? Warm? I don’t know. I shrugged it off and got in line before the others.

“What would you like?” The ice cream scooper person asked

“Rocky Road please.” I said

He nodded, “Cone or bowl.”

“Cone.”

He got a cone out and scooped ice cream into it. He handed it to me, I thanked him and turned to Kyle.

“You’re paying
