Alpha Blake novel Chapter 68

　　Looking into his eyes and dropping a small fragment in front of him in his palm.

　　"I need you to see it for yourself. " He looks at the small piece. Opens it slowly, and realizes there is a tiny drop of blood inside. He knows that the possibility of this being her blood may be at a high percentage. 

　　He looks at her and she nods in agreement. Slowly, he takes the blood and drops it in his tongue. Making his eyes roll back and Tyler quickly comes to aid him as he begins to fall back.

　　Images flashed through his mind of the day Emma died. The conversation she had with Elena, the reason she felt she was unworthy of their pact, to the image of Carrie ripping her heart out. But his face fills with anger as he sees the way Carrie had brought her back and had used her for centuries on end to her own benefit. Strip8her time and time again from the blood in her veins.

　　Slowly, his eyes roll back and he stands still before them. He walks close in front of Selene, looking at her with melancholy in his eyes and tears running down his cheeks. 

　　Selene gulps slowly, taking a step back as his hands come forth by her face.

　　"You were innocent all this time. I I was wrong. I made this war against our friendship all this time! And I failed to keep our promise to protect each other." He turns glancing at Blake, his eyes filled with tears and hands tight in a fist, exposing his knuckles.

　　"But why? Why didn't she return to me?" He looks at Rebecca, and she hangs her head down low. 

　　"She's afraid. For you.  For herself. She can't come back until she knows it is safe. She can't have your safety guarantee until she knows Carrie is dead."

　　"But she's dead now. I have to find her. You have to tell me where she is." Rebecca smiles and looks at him, grabbing his hands and assuring him that she will help him find her.

　　Rebecca had gone through a lot trying to find her the minute Selene had told her something was off about that attack. The minute she had begun to work her spell and sought where she was hiding, she took off without anyone realizing it.  Telling Selene she was visiting a few friends. 

　　Though Emma's first response to seeing her was to run, Rebecca convinced her to at least talk to her and explain what was happening. Everything seemed to fit into place the day she met her. But she made her promise to keep her existence and whereabouts secret until Carrie was gone.

　　Blake slowly engulfs Selene in a tight embrace. Slowly kissing her forehead and placing his hands by the sides of her face.

　　"It's over baby. You're safe now. No more struggling and running I suppose." He chuckles as she brings her arms on the sides of his hips.

　　"And here I was thinking I was the one who had to save you." She giggles and kisses his lips.

　　Blake's eyes widen in disbelief as he feels someone tugging on his back. Aware that they have taken his dagger from his back. He turns, pushing Selene out of the way and standing on guard to fight his opponent. 

　　Her eyes widen as she sees Joseph holding the dagger just feet away from him. His eyes widen in fury, Joseph grips the dagger over his head and charges towards Blake and strikes with force. 

　　Blake's eyes close as he falls back. He feels a body crash onto of him. The eerie notice in his ear as his head hits the ground along with his body.

　　Slowly, the eerie noise deafening him fades, and he can hear cries of terror as he opens his eyes. His biggest fear, seeing Selene's body fall on top of him. 

　　She struggles to breathe, gurgling as the blood in her throat and mouth keep her from breathing. 

　　His eyes are wide in shock and his stomach falls as his biggest fear has become reality. He quickly grips her close to him. His voice caught in his throat as he tries to make out what has just happened. 

　　Slowly, her eyes fill with tears as she looks at him through tears in her eyes. "No. No no no! Baby, please. No, you can't. Baby please! Look at Selene, please! You can't leave me. Why did you jump in front of me like that huh? Why? You can't leave me! Please!" He pleads with her. Her eyes slowly lose their brightness. Her wolf slowly whimpers as she feels the life leaving her body.

　　Tyler slowly kneels before her and takes her hand softly in his hand. "Baby sis. Please! You can't leave us. You have to meet my mate. I found her! She's beautiful. Eyes gray and full of light like the stars. Her hair is black and beautiful as the night. You'd love her Sel! You gotta stay, please. You can't leave yet. We need you! I need you, baby girl." He cups her hand in his palm, bringing it to his lips and planting a small kiss on her lips.

　　"I'm so happy for you Ty! But, I'm sorry. I don't think I will be able to make it this time. Please take care of her. Promise me, you will be happy with her. Promise me."

　　Blake leans on her neck, his eyes filled with tears and a knot caught in his throat from the agony he feels inside.

　　"Don't talk like that baby! You're gonna be ok. I promise. Just stay with us! Don't leave me. Please baby girl. I need you." 

　　I love you, Blake! You will be ok. You will find a second chance-"

　　"No! I don't want a second chance mate!  I want you! It's always been, you Selene! And it will always be just you."

　　"I love you, Blake. I will always, always be here." Her hand touches his heart, but soon lose their strength and fall to the sides of her body. Slowly, her body loses strength as she closes her eyes.

　　He pulls her close, his tears falling freely on his cheeks as he sees Selene's life fade away.

　　Tyler, for the last time. Grabs Joseph and turns him around to face him. "Why? What did we ever do to you? You fucking worthless piece of shit!" He grabs his neck, and with great force throws him on the floor. Damian quickly grabbed him, gripping him tight around his neck. 

　　"You! You and that bitch made me believe that Selene was the culprit of my Emma's death. You tortured my wife! And you made her suffer. For that, I will make sure you pay." He lifts him off the floor and throws him in the middle of all his warrior vampires. 

　　Giving the command, they begin biting him. Ripping off limb by limb off his body until he's left a bloody mess on the ground.
