I know you're not no good for me, but

You look so good to me, yeah

I don't need another broken heart or sleepless night

God, please guide me right, she looks like

The girl of my dreams, yeah

Rod wave- Girl of my dreams

Kimberly's POV

Once Zach left, the room fell silent. We all sat there, feeling down because we had underestimated Saint and his forces. I'm feeling unsure about what action to take. While I can see Zach's perspective, Saint hasn't physically harmed me, so I'm not sure why people portray him as a villain.

It's frustrating how everything seems so complicated sometimes. I never imagined being in the situation I'm in today, all because of some silly bloodline feud between two wolves, was any of this actually worth it?

Lynn snapped me out of my thoughts by asking what I couldn't figure out. But what I was sure of was that she, Zach, and I had to find a way to escape together.

"We should go while we have the freedom," I said and she nodded in agreement.

"Let's go get Zach," she told me, and we headed towards his room.

Ascending a flight of stairs, we knocked on the first door to our left. Upon hearing a gruff response, we entered the room to find Zach, deep in thought, sprawled across the bed with his hands behind his head. He was contemplating a master plan to ensure our safety and well-being in our current situation the same as us.

"Let's just leave, let's not make it complicated," I said outright. I didn't wanna play games I just want to leave.

He looked up at me, eyes full of something I couldn't tell. Was it love or admiration I Don't know if it was here and gone before I could think of something, then he gave me an answer.

"Sure, let's go if that's what you want. I've been ready to leave this place too." he got up and grabbed his emergency bag. We all nodded in agreement and walked towards the front door, might as well just leave Saint wasn't around from what I could tell.

Zach stopped me in the doorway and gave me a hug, I didn't fight him I leaned into his shoulder nuzzling into his embrace. He was warm and I missed this feeling, before the imprinting and confusion back when everything was normal.

"I love you, Kimchi. I love you more then life itself." He whispered into my ear, saying my nickname he gave me long ago.

"I love you too" I replied back being genuine, I really loved him and Max. Was it not possible to love two people at once?

He reached down and grabbed my chin and rubbed his finger across my lips. I parted them to protest and he kissed me, first swiftly then slowly once I didn't fight back.

We kissed deeply for a second and I was getting lightheaded so we stopped. "I can't do this with you Zach, I have a mate" I finally said walking towards the stairs and away from him.

"It's okay, I will always love you Kimberly. Your the girl of my dreams" he told me as he followed me to the front door.

Girl of my dreams, I giggled to myself. He made me feel good no mark needed. We were Finally okay.

So it was nothing stopping us from leaving now.

As I opened the front door, I was taken aback by the sight that greeted me. It looked like a full-blown war had occurred in Saint's front yard, with debris scattered all around.

There were injured wolf warriors everywhere, and I could smell death in the air.

The situation was far from good. Although I couldn't discern who the familiar people were, I could sense their presence. The thought of my pack engaging in a violent fight while confined in the same house scared me. It made me feel useless.

I collected my thoughts and paused. It's not like the...

STOP.

As the warriors from each side engaged in a full-blown fight, I stood before them and shouted at the top of my lungs, urging them to stop. Their eyes turned toward me, and it seemed as though they thought I was insane.

I'm going crazy because the people I care about are risking their lives for me. I always wanted to be helpful, but now I realize that my presence is more of a burden than anything else.

Before I could go full-blown depressed, at full speed, Zach raced past me and leaped into the air, seamlessly transforming into his wolf form.

I was both shocked and scared when he decided to jump face-first into a war that we could have easily avoided by escaping together. I couldn't understand why he was being so reckless.

I had a feeling that he was trying to rescue me once more. It seemed like everyone had the same goal, to save me. But I began to wonder; perhaps I didn't need saving. Maybe I was the one who had to save someone for a change.

MATE

My eyes kicked into overdrive, searching through the crowd of wolves looking for my beloved. As I saw him amid war, bruised and battered, my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't help but think he was the most attractive man I had ever seen.

I heard my wolf howl for him. The ache of missing him consumed me more than anything else. As I held myself, I knew it was my final goodbye. All I wanted was to kiss and hold him close one last time.

The next thing I knew, Zach had a full-blown attacked Saint. Saint was pretty bruised up, but he was still fighting for his life. Zach had the upper hand, and he was doing a lot of damage.

I don't know if he was doing this for himself or me, but the bloodlust was in the air. He was giving it all He had, this ended today right now.

Either Saint Died today or him.

Max dad shifted into his human form, and as he shifted, I could see the gaping hole in his neck from where Saint removed the piece of his throat.

This was disturbing. The level of aggression and hostility displayed from Saint towards my fellow wolves is simply unacceptable. I don't care what he's done, this wasn't right.

This is not a fire drill, he has to die today.

Max ran over shifted and grabbed his dad to stop the bleeding. His mother ran over next she was crying trying to lick his wounds to help him heal faster. He was alive but he was barley clinging to life.

While they were focused on Maxwell Sr, I looked over and Zach was going at it with Saint. They were tearing at each other not caring about anything or anyone.

Zach was on top snapping down on Saint, I could tell he was going to win finally ending this small war. A small smile creeped onto my face. Yes finally, this is over.

Lynn screamed and I looked to the right.

A hooded figure came out from behind the trees, blade in hand stabbed Zach in his side while twisting the blade making him yelp loudly then falling limp.

They helped saint up in one motion and hopped on his back the hood falling off as they road off, she looked back as they got farther and farther and I knew that face from anywhere.

I fell to my knees, now bawling out to the sky cursing the moon goddess. How could she, How could he leave me like this-it was selfish I know but I loved him. Zach my first love, my first anything... My knight in shining armor. Why would she?.....

It was Jen

She killed Zach and left with Saint.........

*******************************************

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't kill me y'all, yeah Zach died and Max sr lived. It's a crazy world we live in and after all that Saint still isn't dead. Sigh, at least this is over for now. 🥺 I feel for Kim Fr she just can't make everybody happy including herself.

-T 🤞🏽
