The Last White Wolf novel Chapter 77

Obviously, I screwed up. But I wasn't stupid... well that stupid. I love Austin and I want to be with him, but... Milo... his mark is still on me. Its like, till death do us part, and both of us were still standing. That- that's just... I... I really, I can't. I can't wish him dead after all of this, and I knew when Austin did find out I was gone, he wouldn't want Levi, he wants Milo dead.

I know its stupid! But I just can't... I would fall into guilt if Milo was taken from this world, even with all the wrong he did to me, I did more wrong to him. But I love Austin, and as much as I want to mate with him, I'm not allowed. And I don't want him to be stuck with me, knowing all we could do was kiss, hug, and fight... God, what a screw up.

Then the drama has gone way to far, and based on Milo and Levi's conversation, something was going down. And I hope it wasn't involving my mate. Either way, knowing Austin, I knew someone was going to get hurt out of this, and Levi stating that he was on Milo's side, wasn't going to just sit back and watch. He's already got this far with the Wolf Wars, just how farther could he go? And I really didn't want to find out, not in my weak state that is.

Milo kept us walking for about an hour, maybe even more, I wasn't good at predicting the time. My feet were aching by now, well they were aching when we first started. I could feel them throbbing numbly in the cold snow as the soft yet hard surface underneath me suddenly faded into a stoned hard cold surface. The flat surface was covered with frozen chipped rocks and pebbles, stabbing me in my feet as I tried not to let it bother me.

In front of us lied a path made up of nothing but stone that ended with a small cliff that ran long, which the distance from where we were, to the ground beneath us wasn't even a scary height. But that wasn't what scared me. What scared me was the cave that was above us. What separated me from it was a stone rocky wall that we had to climb to get up there, and God knows, I was horrible at climbing. My upper body strength was useless, all I could do was hold onto something.

"I shall wait for you to catch your breath." He informed as he sat next to me, sighing as he ran his fingers through his messy hair. I nodded, trying to breathe correctly as I tried to figure out just what was behind us. My nose couldn't pull up an scent, besides Milo, due to him sitting so close to me. Moreover, the scent of the strong nature and rock smelling that dwelled around us.

I really didn't feel like moving. Due to the fact that maybe Milo could be lying to me. I mean he was working together with Levi and now maybe... Apologizing to me... In addition, asking for forgiveness was apart of their plan to get me farther away from Austin. They knew how weak I was, it would be easy, it was. But... I sighed standing. Oh well, came this far already, minus well continue if I wanted to at least see any sign of Austin.
