16. Killed my Best Friend

Artemis’s POV

“OK Luna, your lip is still bleeding a little bit but it should stop at any time.” The doctor said as she cleaned off my lip. “You are free to leave when you feel like it.

“Thank you.” I thanked as she left the room.

We were at the pack doctor. Luckily Iesha came by and brought me a chance of clothes.

And midnight is with the pups at the pack house.

Blake kissed my cheek as soon as she was gone.

“I can’t believe I almost killed you.” He rested his head on my shoulder.

“For the last time Blake it wasn’t your fault.”

“It doesn’t matter. I hurt my mate. Without telling you.”

I looked at him confused. “Tell me what?”

He walked in front of me and kissed my lips.

“Are you sure it’s a good idea to kiss me. My lip is still bleeding.” I laughed a little.

“I don’t care.” He kissed me again. “I love you.”

What? He loves me?

Do I love him?

Maybe I do?

“You don’t have to say it back. I just wanted to let you know.” With that he left the room.

I ran after him but he just ignored me.

We walked all the way to the pack house. He locked himself in his room.

I knocked on the door. “Blake please let me in.”

I got no response.

I leaned on the door and slid down onto the door.

“Blake, I thought I loved someone, but then he kept something big from me. I got so mad. I thought no one else would be able to heal my heart after that lie. But you did. As cheesy and corny as it sounds, you did. I love you.” I waited for his response.

I heard a click coming from the door. It opened. I forgot I was leaning against it because I fell.

“Who was he?” Blake asked wile helping me up and sounding possessive.

I closed the door and locked it. “Logan Jake.”

He growled and pulled me closer to his chest. “Mine!”

“Sit down on the bed and I’ll tell you everything.”

He did as told. I sat next to him but he pulled me into his lap.

“He was my best friend. I got so closed to him that I told him that my parents were killed by rogues when I was just a year old. This gold coin was my moms, that’s why it’s so special to me. He told me that the same thing happened to his parents. So my grandparents thought that maybe we could be hunters. We did agree. He came up with my name, Robin Hood. He also had his own name Apollo. Really cheesy I know.”

I paused for a moment before continuing.

“One day he told me he was sick and he couldn’t go hunting with me. So I went by myself. I saw a Sandy blonde wolf running and it shifted into Logan. The whole time I’ve known him he told me he was human. After he put on some clothes I confronted him.”

~Flashback~

I was hiding in a tree. Waiting for the Sandy blonde wolf to shift back into human form.

The went behind a tree and came back as… Logan!?

He’s a werewolf!?

He always told me about how much he hated werewolves.

I jumped down from the tree and landed right in front of Logan.

He loomed at me with a shock and scared expression wile I had a death glare.

“Artemis I-I thought-” I cut him off.

“You thought what Logan!? You thought I wouldn’t find you in wolf form!?” I yelled.

“I can explain.”

“There’s nothing to explain! You lied to me! Are you in a pack!? Are just spying on me for more information on other hunters!?”

“No! I’m a rogue! My parents were killed by our alpha! Why do you think I kept trying to get you to go after the wolves in packs!? I want them dead! I want my old alpha dead!” He growled.

“That’s no excuse Logan! You told me you were human! You were just using me just so you can get get revenge on your old alpha!?”

“It started out that way.” He seemed more calm now. “But then I started to develop feelings for you. I thought that there was a chance you might be my mate. My wolf told my that you weren’t but I didn’t listen to him. I love you, Artemis!”

“I thought I loved you too. But I was wrong I do t love you. It’s just my lust. I’m sorry Logan but I can’t be with you.”

He growled and attempted to punch me but I caught his fist in mid air.

“I’m sorry Logan.”

He released his fist from my grip and kept throwing punches at me.

I blocked them with my forearms but it still hurt.

He attempted to kick my head but I ducked under his leg and kicked his back.

I grabbed an arrow and shot his leg. He groaned and backed away from me.

I took more arrows and shot his stomach, legs and arms.

He kept backing away until his back hit a bolder blocking him from moving.

He pulled out all the arrows from his body.

“If they’re so evil, what makes you any different, Logan?” I tried staying calm. “You killed your own kind.”

“What makes you so different? You killed my kind?” He smirked.

“I’m human.”

I answered before a took an arrow and sliced his throat with it.

~Flashback over~

“That’s what happened. I saw him die right in front of me. Yet somehow he’s here and alive.” By now my eyes were filled with tears.

Blake’s POV

I was silent. Trying to take in all the information she told me.

She was crying into my chest. I pulled her closer.

I’ve never seen her cry before.

“I killed my best friend.” She sobs.

“You had a good reason.” I cooed in her ear wile stroking her hair.

She shook her head. “There is no good reason for what I did.”

I kissed her lips. “It doesn’t matter anymore its all in the past.”

She wiped her tears away, then put her face on my neck.

‘I don’t know about you, but I’m getting turned on.’ Gavin smirked.

‘Anything our mate does gets you turned on.’

‘What can I say? She makes me want to punish her.’ His smirked stayed in place.

I blocked him out and turned back to my mate.

She was falling asleep. “I love you Blake.”

“I love you too.”

I placed her on the bed and pulled the covers on top of her.

I laid down next to her and pulled her into into my chest.

I slowly drifted off to sleep.
