Not quite a happy ending

*Luke's POV*

After everyone left I just leaned against the wall and watched Alex. The way she moved, with elegance and conviction. The way she hummed to herself when she thought no one was around.

Her voice. Now that. That is another thing all together. I had no clue she could sing and with such passion. He voice was like pure sex but the raw emotion evident would reduce even me to tears.

"That was quite impressive. The way you handled that."

She spun around obviously not expecting me to still be here. It's the first time I can really observe her. The way her eyes sparkled, her dress not only complimented he figure, her oh so perfect body but also her skin tone. This is definitely a mental image moment.

Before she could answer a voice cut her off. It was the Bimbo from earlier, her friends and her walked up to Aaron and I. They tried to flirt with us. We did flirt back a bit but it's in our nature. However we did make it clear that we were already taken and did not find anything about them attractive. I know Bonnie and Alex saw what happened then. I never actually explained what happened.

Something's different about Blondie though, oh it's her dress. It's now showing off everything as she shoves her boobs into my face.

To think of it Alex's expression was the same then as it is now. Stone cold

Lips crashing onto mine caught my attention. When I saw Alex leave I regained my sense and pushed this slut off me. She huffed and walked away.

What was I thinking? Holy shit i've messed up. I need to get some fresh air and clear my head.

I mind linked Zach

"Is Alex with you?"

"Yeah. Is she ok?"

"Just look after her for me. I'm going to clear my head"

"did something happen?"

I just cut him off

You know when you can feel your entire world crumbling around you and you just need to escape. As if somehow that will make everything better? Well that's what i'm trying.

I don't know how long i've been gone but I decided to head back. The party's still in full swing. I'm drawn towards Alex's scent. I spot her on the dance floor, dancing away but getting a lot of attention from a lot of unmated males.

I let out a deadly growl and grabbed her hand.

The smell hit me like a ton of bricks. She's drunk. No she is absolutely pissed.

She kept protesting but eventually gave up and let me carry her to the car.

Don't worry I haven't had anything to drink. I do a lot of things but I don't drink and drive.

This is our fault.

No it's your fault.

I could always count on Damien in situations like this

I wasn't long before we got to the house. Alex had slept the entire ride home. That i'm thankful of. It gave me time to think about what I was going to say.

I walked around and carried her in. I didn't want to wake her up but it looks as if my efforts were futile.

Her eyes fluttered open and she jumped out of my grip. I guess she sobered up a bit.

"Princess listen."

"Don't. Don't call me that." For some reason that stung

"No no you don't get to call me that anymore nope. I'm not the girl to make the same mistake twice."

My stomach dropped at where she was going with this. I lifted my hand to hold her waist but she just pushed me off.

"Stop. Don't touch me. You know I can't think when you get close. The voodoo crap, the tingles are clouding my judgment. I can't believe I was so blind. I can't believe I let you in. I trusted you."

I kissed her. She just shoved me off her and slapped me.

I could see the tears stinging her eyes begging to be let free but I know she's too stubborn to let me see her at an even weaker state. She walked towards the door.

I could feel Damien surface and I made no attempt to stop him. I pinned her to the wall, making sure not to hurt her but enough to keep her still.

"I won't let you leave. Even if I have to chain you to my bed. You are my mate. The Luna. You can't just leave. I'm nothing without my mate. You know i'd never hurt you like that, she just caught me off guard."

"Oh I get it you only need me to get the Alpha title and to become stronger. So it's ok for you to have your bits on the side as long as I stay your Luna so you won't be weakened? Well I guess the truth is all coming out now."

"No prince-"

"Don't you dare finish that. You would never hurt me huh? Well take a step back and look because you already have. I'm broken. Are you happy now? Oh and i'm not your princess."

I took a step back and finally saw the tears that had betrayed her. She looked broken and all I want to do is fix her.

I stood there frozen as I watched her leave. As I watched the girl I love leave me. Yes Love. I admit it I fucking love her.

No matter how much I wanted to move, scream and break things I couldn't. I feel so empty.

She's gone.

She. Is. Gone.

*Alex's POV*

I can feel the tears rolling down my cheeks as I walk out the door. As I leave Luke behind and the pack but I have to do what's best for me. I let them in and I got hurt. It's better for everyone this way.

I jumped into my car and hot wired it. I have no clue where my keys are, they're probably at home....No no at Luke's house.

I've had a few drinks and I know that this is wrong bit right now i'm more of a danger here than I am behind the wheel.

It's pitch black but slightly comforting as my sobs echo throughout my car.

I know my grandparents had a cabin out here somewhere that they left to me in the will. It's where I was heading before all of this happened.

I refused to acknowledge the growing pain in my chest as I got further and further away from the pack territory.......and Luke.

I let my instincts guide me and within an hour I had reached the cabin. I jumped out, got my bag and found the key I hid years ago.

Once inside I went to the bathroom. My reflection making me cringe. I wiped off all the make-up and got into the shower trying to wash away the pain. I slid down the wall and wrapped my hands around my knees. I just let it all out. All my pain and anger.

After a good hour I stepped out of the now cold water. I've gone soft in my time away from the Military.......that's what I need to change first. The old Alex would never have cried over a boy. The old Alex would never have allowed this to happen, not this kind of pain. The pain they din't warn you about. The pain that comes with love.

It's about 8pm in the UK now. I picked up the phone praying he would answer.

"Hello" his firm voice filled my ears.

"Hi-i uncle Paul." I call him uncle Paul but he's actually my base commander. He's a great family friend and i've always considered him an uncle.

"What's wrong Al. You sound like you've been crying." I just chuckled. I could never hide anything from him.

"Uh yeah. This trip hasn't gone exactly to plan. I'm coming back within the wee-"

"you are not fit for duty Al. I'm sorry but you can't at least not for another two months."

"I know but what if I came back to help train the recruits. Come on I was taught by the best to be the best and never take no for an answer."

Playing into his ego always got me what I wanted.

I heard him huff.

"Fine. Monday 08:00 hours outside my office I expect to see you there." I gasped. "Have you gotten soft in your old age? The Uncle Paul I knew would never have let me slack off like that."

"Always the smart mouth aren't ya Al. But you're injured and plus it's the earliest flight we can get you. I'll forward the details. Now are you sure you're ok?"

"Honestly i'm fine. See you bright and early Monday."

Those words felt like poison on my tongue. I'm not sure whether it's because i'm lying to Paul or because i'm leaving.

But I need to leave. I need to get out of here.

I changed into the big top that was in my bag and tried to get a bit of sleep. No doubt i'll wake up in a few hours with flashbacks..........

Luke has turned my world upside down. But not all fairytales have a happy ending and I guess we're an example of that.

I let the pain numb me and sleep consume me. Maybe if I get out of here I can start over and forget.

Author's Note :

I just want to make it clear that I in no way support drinking and driving. It is illegal, it is dangerous and it is wrong. It causes so many deaths each year and I want to point out I only put that in there because Alex needed a way to get to the cabin
