I want to thank you all for watching and reading my stories it means alot to me guys! You Rock! Part 16 has been finished and I will explain the (Finale?) at the bottom, all I ask is that you really consider the possible ending!

(Talbain's view)

It's been a few days since we were captured by the hooded men and told the prophecy they worship. Collin is "The Champion" the one destined to bring peace between the werewolfs and humans. I want to say I feel proud for him....but-

His life now is nothing but a constant worry for when the hooded men will return and help him prepared for battle against this 'Sai'. I worry about him constantly, I hug him, cuddle him, or do whatever he wants whenever he wants it. All he asked of me was to be there for him when needed. I told him I would forever be there for him.

The hooded made one last visit to us before they left us alone. And worst it had to be that one werewolf that shocked Collin in the cell. He knocked on the front door and I answered it, looking at him ready to defend Collin if needed.

"Talbain, Champion. I was ordered to share all the information I had with me to you both." he said entering the front door

He sat down on the couch while Collin and I sat on the nearby chairs. The hooded werewolf suddenly made a cup of tea appear in his hands and he drank it as if this was some civil meeting. Collin and I of course sat quietly and waited to hear what he had to say. Their were many things that didn't add up. The werewolf finished his tea and made the cup disappear in his hands and looked at us both.

"Alright, we are part of a group that was formed centuries ago when werewolfs and humans first began fighting each other In small, rural, European villages. At first it was the small skirmishes and the once in awhile run in, but otherwise nothing to major. But when the vampires appeared things changed."

The werewolf suddenly got up and looked into the fireplace setting it ablaze with a spell.

"They killed without mercy or emotion, they hated us both and slaughtered both kinds of any gender or age. It was in that time that when both sides were pushed to the brink of annihilation that we pushed our differences aside and worked together."

He turned to us and smiled

"Would you believe that when the humans and werewolfs finally decided to work together they defeated all the vampires over a hundred mile radius without losing a single man?"

I looked at him knowing that probably wasn't so unbelievable.

"Obiviously not all knew about werewolfs and the chruch decided we were abominations of god, they killed us in such horrible ways and wanted our extinction. The humans we fought with stood beside us claiming we weren't the monsters we thought they once were but the chruch killed them too."

"The humans we fought with found many abandoned castles, plains, and forests we could use so when the time we could be accepted came. We would finally be allowed to live as equals and for who we are. Then America was discovered and secretly we were smuggled into the US and the humans who traveled with us helped us build our castles and villages."

"They made a sacred vow never to let the other humans attack us and kept our existence a secret. Hundreds of years past and we almost losing hope until one day a group of explorers found this carving you saw in our castle and told us the prophecy that came with the book."

"We weren't surprized to hear of a massive vampire attack coming but we were surpized with is that one would unite us all. We were so happy to hear that. We celebrated and began our search only 50 years ago. We trained in the magical and weapon arts to improve our skills should the time of the vampire attack came and we didn't find the Champion."

"We had many promising leads but when it came to the third test.....they all failed.....until you Champion." he motioned towards Collin.

"Why couldn't you just ask? Why didn't your men tell me this when they ambushed me?" Collin asked.

The werewolf sighed loudly.

"We have been watching you for a while, both of you, we knew about Collin's horrible past but otherwise we couldn't keep up with you. You killed vampires so fast and effeciently that we couldn't reach you in time. Talbain though was a different story we watched his whole life until theat day when Kregan and Raoul tookover. We decided it would have been best to take you with us and either see if he was the Champion or maybe recruit him into our little army, but we couldn't find until we found out he was living with you Collin."

"There were signs of...affection and love in the house but nothing we were sure of Heck we weren't sure if Talbain or you had magical ability! At first you both passed only the first test and it was heatly argued among us which of you looked like the better Champion. It was quickly decided to be put to the test and see what you two had in you, I'm sorry"

"It was a great disappointment to hear you were mates...the legend only said accepted werewolfs and humans...not fall in love with them. When Collin said he would fight us we didn't hold back to make sure he wouldn't hold back on us. After that we thought Collin had no magically abiltiy and decided the only way Talbain could come to us was through you Collin."

"We didn't like what we did but we threw your blood in the air to make sure Talbain would smell and come to us. We taunted your near demise so Talbain could show us his magical ability. When that red energy came out of him we were greatly pleased with Talbain. I'm sorry to say this but with Collin's demise and your magic unlocked you looked like a promising Champion."

"But when we heard Collin was brought back to life we were again in a deadlock of what to do! We were still indecided on what to do next until we sensed you two left this dimension, with Collin's magical aroma. It was at that time we were nearly certain that Collin was the Champion but your relationship was unexpected. In the end though we accepted it and went forth with our plans.....you are the Champion Collin."

The werewolf got up and went to the door, Collin and I were left speechless on our chairs. The werewolf turned around and said one final thing.

"We are not even certain when Sai might show himself so be prepared any day. It might be tomorrow...it might be in many years yet but still be prepared and continue with your lives and Collin. Take this call for us whenever you want to if you are in trouble. Farewell" The werewolf threw me a spell scroll with strange letters and went out the door and disappeared.

Collin began to cry again as soon as he left. I cuddled him and let him released all his pent up sadness. I was crying to.

"I-I have to go to other dimensions?! I have to prepared myself for constant battle and travel?! I just want...I just want to be with you. Thats all I need. Please come with me Talbain! Pl-"

"Of course.....I will always be there for you." I said embracing him tighter.

A whole month past and in a few days our plan to take over the castle and restore my father's throne would begin. I calmed Collin down saying that it would years before those hooded men returned. he didn't accept at first but when the days went on he seemed to accept it. He gave me reminders though ever once in awhile.

I was looking at the plans again before I heard a knock on the door when I opened it, it was a villager with a somewhat happy face. He pulled me outside and showed me a rolled up scroll.

"Talbain look at this!" He said unrolling it.

"Hey! What are y-" I said before I began to read it, and I couldn't believe my luck!

Raoul was holding a dueling tournament! The first 16 who sighed up would duel each other, one to one, with whatever weapon they chose and fought for the grand prize! The king, by law ,had to go about it! Most would ask for honor or money but I knew what I would do! I had to challenge Raoul to a duel to the death, and kill him for my honor and to make sure he wouldn't try to overthrow me.

"Talbain if you can do this there will be no need to have a rebellion! You could just take over and the guards would have to go about it!"

"This is-This is wonderful news! I have to get my weapon excuse me!" I said going back into the house and getting my fathers sword and traveling gear. Just when I was about to head out of my room Collin was at the door looking worried about something.

"Talbain where are you going?" Collin asked as if a bit sad.

"Collin! Great news! Raoul is holding a dueling tournament and I can enter it! I'm afraid you can't come with as servants won't be needed. I'm going to be king Collin! After I defeat the others and Raoul we can live together!" I said happily wagging my tail and hugging him as if I was a child.

"Just you? I can't come with?.....fine....just remember.....those hooded men could-"

"Yea,Yea don't worry Collin I'll be there for you! Wish me luck!" I said leaving the room and heading out the door.

The tournament was being held in Macht which had the arena in the town center. It was usually just a training ground for guard recruits but once in awhile they would hold matches and tournaments. When I defeat Raoul I can live in the castle! I can have Collin all to myself and live together in harmony and peace with the other humans!

I was really excited! One of the best things was that no one would have to die for this except for Raoul and maybe a few of the other contestants. The duel can be fought to the death if wishes but most would usually surrender or be disarmed before that.

I was so distracted with my thinking that before I knew it I was at Macht and it was 5PM, I also heard a strange humming in my ear but I ignored it. I had more important things to worry about. To my luck when I entered Macht I discovered the line up was not fully completed and some where daring the others to join.

The town was crowded for this event but I went to the arena and quickly signed my name on the line up. When I did that I smiled heroically at the people around me. They were silenced by my bravery to enter this tournament. I was so silent I heard that damn annoying humming again. Where is that noise coming from?

I quickly put it aside and enter the arena where the combatants would, through a back door that lead into the waitng room that was dirty dark and stained with old blood stains around us. Some were already frightened by this but I was ready. I didn't want to kill any of these men but I would not let any of them stop me. I had a great mate and when I win I can live him forever in my castle!

This is for the best, even if I have to leave Collin alone for a few seconds I would make up for it when we would live in the castle and had plenty of passionate kissing and sex. I was blushing in front of the others and they were more frightened believing I blushed just before I fought...thinking I was in love with fighting and killing. A funny stupid thought.

The announcer broke the cheers and shouts of the adoring fans above. Each of us was given a full steel plate armor and a weapon of our choice. I had a helment on to hide my identity from Raoul as he would be watching this.

"Greetings! Good people of the Krisa Kingdom! Today we have a tournament of arms! 16 brave werewolfs have taken up the call to duel each other and to be granted a single wish by our new reigning king! Raoul!" the annoucer yelled at the top of his lungs

Some of the crowd cheered loudly but others were booing him. I heard Raouls voice silence the crowd. I also heard the god damn annoying humming in my ears again! What the hell could be more important than this?! If I won this Collin and I would have a castle and harmony between our species or at least our towns and kingdoms.

I quickly ignored the humming and went out with my opponent who was carrying a mace and a shield. I was carrying my fathers longsword and a shield giving to me by the villagers of Neos.

We looked at each other and saw Raoul announce our fight.

"Greetings warriors of bravery! Know that if you fail this fight remember you have still won the hearts of this crowd and earned my respect! Begin!"

The man with the mace charged at me swinging his mace overhead. I blocked it with my shield and sweep kicked him off his feet causing him to fall hard to the ground and the audience to cheer believing the match was begining. I put my sword to my fallen combatants neck ready to kill him if he resisted surrender.

The crowd was amazed to see this match possibly ended so quickly.

"Surrender or I'll run you through." I said putting the tip of my blade closer to his throat causing it to bleed a small bit.

"Alright! Alright! I give up!" He said throwing away his weapons and putting up his hands in surrender.

The crowd cheered at my swift victory and my good sportsmanship. I saw Raoul clapping as well and smiling.

The humming was strong now! What the hell is with this humming?! Just forget it!

The rest of the matches went by quickly, only the last one last a bit longer then the others but eventually I disarmed him too and smiled in triumph behind my helment. Thankfully none of the combatants wanted to die for this so I was thankful I didn't have to kill anyone.

I was even more thankful that the humming finally stopped!

Raoul got up and walked into the arena clapping and smiling at me. He had a small guard escort with him and made it impossible to kill him right there....but I'll get my chance!

"Congratulations Warrior! You have bested some the best this kingdom had to offer and you did it with such ease! I will glady grant any wish you want! What shall it be then? Money the size of mountains? A gaint statue in my castle hall? Or your name placed into history?"

I was silent and looked at him behind my helmet still. Raoul was silent too until I finally said my greatest desire here.

"I want your head Raoul...." I said cleching my sword.

Raoul was very surprized by this and looked at me with studying eyes, the guards surrounded Raoul to protect him. I lifted my hand to my helmet and slowly took off my helment. I was pretty sweaty from the fights as the sun didn't make it an easier for my fur and energy.

"Or are you to afraid to face your little brother in combat?!" I yelled throwing my helmet to the ground.

The crowd had most of their mouths open at the shock of my identity. Raoul growled when he saw my face and was about to order his guards to kill me.

"I won the tournament Raoul! The king has to abide by the rules and grant the victor any wish of his chosing! And mine is to challenge you to a duel to the death!" I said pointing my sword at him.

Raoul growled more loudly and pushed his guards away. Glaring at me, his eyes screaming of anger and murder.

"My weapon!" He demanded

Suddenly only feet away from us a giant two side spear landed in the center of the arena on one of the ends and was stuck into the ground. Raoul went over to it and lifted it with great strength causing the part of the ground to come with it whcih Raoul punched off showing off his superior strength. He turned towards me slowly and motioned for his guards to leave this arena.

All I could think was this for you Collin, if I win....we can live happily ever after.

"Well little brother lets see what kind of warrior you are!" Raoul said jabbing at me with his two sided spear.

I blocked and dodged the jabs with great difficultly. Raoul then lowered the spear to his waist and gripped close to one of the pointed ends and started to swing the spear and his whole body in a tornado twirl. There was no way I could get close to him so I just had to dodged until he got tired.

But to my misfortune he landed a hit to my chest and broke the armor of with just one of his swings! I fell to the ground and Raoul stopped spinning around and tried to peirce my heart from the ground. I rolled to the right side and sliced his back leg deeply causing him to grunt in pain.

He quickly recovered and swong the spear to cut off my head but I ducked under and had a clear shot for his chest, I tried to thrust forward but he jumped back dodging my thrust. Suddenly he lifted the spear with both hands and tried to cut me in half. There was no time to dodge so I put my still steel armor arms up to take the blow. I felt with full force of his spear hit my arms causing me to yelp at the sudden force and pain the went through my arms.

The spear was taken back and Raoul was left open again for an attack. I couldn't raise my sword in time so I punched him across the muzzle and my steel armor broke off completely after that. Raoul hit the ground with a hard thud. staining his expensive royal armor in the dirt causing humuliation to him.

It was my turn to cut out his heart. When I thrusted my sword down at him, but Raoul quickly used the spear to angle it off course and hit the ground above his head. He then hit my ribs with the steel pole of the spear causing me to take back my sword and dig my foot claws into his exposed chest and bleed out.

I had to catch my breath and leave Raoul alone for a second giving him enough time to get up to his feet.

"When I'm done with you...I'll make Collin my personal sex slave and leave him rotting in my dungeon!" Raoul taunted.

That caused my red energy to be released frightening the crowd that was enjoying the match. I charged at him swinging my sword down at his spear causing it to crack with each blow and him to shudder with each crack knowing his spear could not handle the strength I was unleashing.

Finally the spear broke in half and with a last sudden, desperate attack Raoul tried to go at my throat with his claws, but I grabbed his hand and gripped it so hard his bones began to break with sickening cracks. Raoul was yelping as loudly as he could at the pain while I was glaring at him enjoying every second of his pain. The crowd was terrified by my might and some were covering their eyes.

I looked at Raoul's frightened eyes and told him.

"You could have been capbale of such good....but you wasted it on your damn pride and your greed!" I said thrusting my sword into his heart.

Only this time he had no weapon and I felt my fathers sword pierce through Raouls chest, rib cage, then finally..his heart. Blood was gushing out of the area where my sword hit him and he yelped and whimpered softly and unsteadily at his life being taken away.

I watched him suffer knowing my big brother was never there...just a monster who deserved every last second of pain. I took the sword out slowly howling at the sight of my brother dying. The crowd stunned to see their king nearly dead on the arena ground. Raoul's arms were clenching his open wound and blood exited his mouth slowly.

I looked at my sword and my red energy left my body. I dropped the sword and tears started to water my eyes....not for Raoul...but that.....finally....my dream with Collin was about to come true. I noticed Raoul on his stomach trying to crawl away desperatly but I think even he knew it was hopeless.

"Its over Raoul.....I win......You'll die and when you do I'll be king......then humans and werewolfs will live in peace....and I will finally have Collin all to myself."

I had a few tears exit my eyes and run down my face....I got everything I ever wanted....a chance to have peace with the humans....my fathers throne...and best of all....my beautiful mate...Collin.

Raoul opened his mouth and chuckled a bit letting the blood spill out of his mouth and cough up more blood. Then his laugh was heard across the arena as he was laughing at me with that same smug look as ever.

"Sure you may have this battle....Hell maybe you've won the whole war! But.....there's one battle you failed at! And it's the one you hold most dear!" Raoul screamed while still coughing up his blood.

"What are you talking about?!" I said glaring at him.

"Your precious mate.....and you'll never see him again!" Raoul laugh while spilling a little blood he had left.

Raoul with his last energy reached into his robed and pulled out a scroll rolled up and now covered in his blood. I took it quickly reading it.

"May you rot in hell forever Talbain!.....I....deserved....more" Raoul said at me with his last dying words. He then let his head rest and didn't moved a single part of his body. Raoul was dead.

But I couldn't care my thoughts were all placed into the note which read.

"Talbain, despite all our protests and advise the Champion or Collin as you call him, has insisted you come with him. The time has come Talbain. The vampires are growing and Sai will show himself soon. The Champion is needed now and will begin training and preparing for his final battle against Sai. We don't have much time to wait for you, If you don't arrive at the RedClaw hill at 6:00 PM we will assume you have chosen to take your fathers throne and rule the Krisa kingdom. If you do not arrive in time......it will be likely you will never see Collin again.

_ From_

_ The hooded men_

My heart stopped but body looked around hoping to see what time it was! Collin! I won't be late I promise. The crowd started to cheer suddenly realizing I was going to be king.

"All hail the king!" They shouted in unison.

I quicky dropped the note and headed out of the arena remembering there was a clock tower in the center. I can't be late...I CAN'T BE LATE! I said to myself as I ran through the streets. Finally I arrived at the center...........and my heart bursted....my body felt like it was breaking apart like glass and my mind was left blank.

6:45 PM

"No! NO! I-I-I'M NOT LATE! I CAN STILL GET TO HIM!" I said to myself loudly

I took off at full speed into the direction of RedClaw hill. Those promises I made....what did they mean? If I'm late.....what did they even mean?! I said running past the crops and over the hills.

Collin.....I-I know you....you would stay...you would demand to stay....you would have whistled for me! You would have!- before I could finish my thoughts I remembered the humming in my ears before.....T-T-T-THAT WAS COLLIN! HE WAS CALLING FOR ME! OH GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!

I ran as fast as I could with the sun setting in the distance to RedClaw hill. I JUST CAN'T-I JUST CAN'T BE LATE!!!!

Finally I arrived to Redclaw hill that had a single tree on the top...but no one was there....but I could smell....Collin's scent. I looked around desperatly tears flooding my eyes hoping I would maybe see him in the distance.

"COLLIN! COLLIN!!!! COLLIN!!!!!" I screamed his name at the top of my lungs until I noticed-

My legs felt weak, my eyes shot open and my heart broke into billions of little peices.

On the ground......blowing to light wind......holding on by a little branch.....was Collin scarf.....my engagement present.

"No...NO!" I said softly to myself walking over to it and picking it up gently....I-I-NO! I'M NOT TO LATE! THEY-THEY MUST HAVE TAKEN HIM BY FORCE! I screamed in my head trying to deny my worst fears.

I went over to the tree and mediated hoping to have enough magical energy to show me what happened here. Suddenly the real world around me began to slow and the window of the past opened up. I saw Collin on steps away from where I was looking around and.......whistling for me. I wanted to hug him there...but it was only an illusion. It wouldn't do a thing.

"Talbain!...........Talbain!" Collin called loudly inbetween whistles looking all around for my presense. My heart was breaking at what was happening next.

Then from behind the tree the werewolf leader from before showed himself looking at Collin with sad eyes. Collin turned around quickly hoping it was me but was sadden to see the hooded werewolf.

"Collin........he left for Macht to fight.......even if he left now he won't be here on time....Just-"

"NO! I KNOW TALBAIN! HE PROMISED ME HE WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME! SEND HIM A NOTE OR SOMETHING TO THE ARENA GUARDS HE'LL GET THE NOTE AND COME FOR ME! I KNOW IT!" Collin screamed near tears.

"Ch-Collin....he's chosen his throne over-"

"NO HE HASN'T! TRUST ME! HE'LL COME FOR ME AND YOUR GOING TO LOOK LIKE IDIOTS FOR DOUBTING HIM! YOU'LL SEE!"Collin said still having tears in his eyes.

"If he doesn't arrive by 6 you'll never see each other again" the hooded leader said disappearing in a cloud of black smoke.

"You'll see.......He'll come.....TALBAIN! TALBAIN HELP ME! TALBAIN I NEED YOU" Collin said shouting at the distant terrain.

My heart broke with each shout...the humming.....were his calls for me.........and I ignored them......I ignored my mates calls for me.....I abandoned him.......He needed me and I-I just couldn't finish the rest. My heart ached and my tears were over powering my eyes. I wanted to believe I was watching a movie or something.....where at the last second the lover comes and saves the day........but I never came.

For 55 minutes I watched Collin called and cried for me. 55 minutes of my heart breaking at each shout. The last five minutes were he just leaned up against the tree and buried his face in his knees and huddled himself. I heard his muffled cries and sobs......I-I No...please I didn't-

Before I could finsh I knew it was 6 in the window past spell. The hooded werewolf appeared again from behind the tree and looked at Collin sadly and feeling a bit bad for him.

"Collin....it's 6....and he-"

"I know" Collin interupted him standing up

"Lets just go" he said walking off to the opposite direction of the village. He was about 20 feet away from the leader before he said.

"Do you still love him?" he asked looking at Collin.

Collin stopped and looked down for a second....I looked at him too.....what was he going to say? He must hate me! He-

"I could never hate him, I will always love him" Collin said looking at the setting sun

W-W-Wh- I was left speechless.

Collin turned around and almost seemed to be looking right at me......smiling.

"I'm glad he's going to get what he always wanted......he'll get his fathers throne I know it.....All I need though was him......but he deserves the crown..........................I guess part of me just wanted to believe.................that I was more important to him then the crown.....but.....I guess not" Collin said letting tears exit his face with the same smile.

Collin then moved his hand to his neck and untied his red scarf I gave him and looked at it happily.

"That's all I've ever been...............a giver..........At least.........one of us will be happy......enjoy it Talbain......live the life you always wanted........." Collin said looking at the scarf and its writing at the edges.

Then he said the words I never wanted to hear.

"Goodbye forever..........Talbain." He said letting the wind carry the scarf to the very branch I found it on and began slowly walking away to the setting sun with the leader following behind him.

"COLLIN! COLLIN! WAIT! I'M SORRY! COLLIN" I cried out but I knew he couldn't hear me.

The window disappear and my heart was left completely broken.......I fell to my knees holding the scarf in one hand and looking at what just happened before my eyes.....I was left speechless................But I wish my mind was the same............ My bad mind didn't hold back.

"You monster......YOU MONSTER! YOU LEFT HIM! YOU ABANDONED YOUR MATE AT HIS GREATEST TIME OF NEED! HE LEFT YOU! HE LEFT YOU, YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A MATE! HE THINKS YOU HATE HIM! HE THINK THAT STUPID CROWN OF YOURS WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THEN HE WAS!

I gripped my head not wanting to hear the rest but I could do nothing to stop it. I leaned against the tree huddling myself close like Collin did before with his scarf in my hands. I begged my good mind to say something....anything that could encourage me.....but it remained silent....and the bad side continued its bombardment.

"HE GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR YOU! HIS TIME! HIS FUTURE! HIS TRUST! HIS LOVE! AND YOU THREW THAT ALL AWAY FOR WHAT?!?!? A GOD DAMN STUPID TITLE?!?!? HE SHOULD HAVE JUST KILLED YOU WHEN HE FIRST SAW YOU.....THEN AT LEAST HE COULD HAVE HAD HIS FIRST WEREWOLF KILL! HE SHOULD HAVE JUST RIPPED YOUR TEETH AND CLAWS OUT AND LEFT YOUR BODY ROTTING IN THE SUN!"

"BUT NO! YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?!?!? HE LET YOU LIVE! HE LET YOU HAVE A CHANCE! HE LET YOU EXPLAIN YOURSELF! HE GAVE YOU HIS MANSION! HE GAVE YOU HIS MEALS! HE GAVE HIS LOYALTY AND HEART OUT FOR YOU AND YOU BETRAYED HIM! ALL FOR THE CROWN! YEAH! WHAT A GREAT KING TO ABANDON HIS ALLIES LIKE THAT!"

"AND WHAT A BETTER MATE TO IGNORE HIS MATES CALLS FOR HELP! HE WARNED YOU ANYTIME THIS COULD HAPPEN AND YOU IGNORED IT FOR THE CROWN! YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THEN RAOUL IN ANYWAY?!?!? LOOK AT YOU! YOUR PATHETIC! WHAT DID COLLIN EVER SEE IN YOU?!?!? HE COULD HAVE ASKED YOU FOR THE CROWN HE DESERVES IT MORE THEN YOU BUT NOOOOOOO! HE'S A HUMAN RIGHT?!?! HE CAN'T HAVE IT! BUT THE ONE THING HE ASKS OF YOU?! THE ONE THING THAT WAS JUST TO MUCH TO ASK FROM YOU TALBAIN?!?!......BE THERE FOR ME!!!!

"OH NO THAT WAS SIMPLY TO MUCH TO ASK FROM YOU WASN'T IT?!?! WHATS NEXT SAY 'I LOVE YOU' SAY 'YOU MEAN SOMETHING TO ME?!?! HE WAS KINDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD AND ALL HE WANTED FROM YOU WAS YOUR LOVE AND PRESENSE BUT NO! TO MUCH TO ASK!

"YOUR MOTHER IS RIGHT! EVERY HUMAN HUNTER IS RIGHT! WE ARE MONSTERS! WE NEED TO BE KILLED! WE DON'T DESERVE LIFE! BUT COLLIN ONLY WANTED HAPPINESS AND PEACE WITH YOU! BUT IT JUST WAS IMMPOSIBLE FOR YOU!"

My bad mind was calmly down but was more logical and hurtful then before.

"How like us.......how like werewolfs..........all we ever talk about is peace with the humans.......many ignored us.....the others hunted us down like the animals we were.......but.......once in awhile a single one lends out a hand to have peace......and we use them...hurt them...and eventually kill them in a horrible way......just because they wanted peace......and we wonder why they don't talk to us?"

"He really did trust you.......he really did love you with all his heart.....but you weren't there when he needed you......I only wonder if his life would have been so bad if we never found him?"

"How long have you been king Talbain? 10 minutes? And already you feel like a failure.....already you failed at what matters most in your life......and you think you can lead other peoples lives?"

"Congratulations.........King Talbain.......I hope it was worth it......I hope it was worth Collin's happiness and future."

The bombardment stopped............and my mind was nothing but a wasteland of pity and regret. What left was there to do? I cried all my tears......I cried until it literally hurt......I don't deserve to be king......I don't deserve happiness........All this time you would hear about if a human deserved a werewolf mate? That if Collin deserved me. But it was the complete opposite........I didn't deserve Collin.

Then as if the gods were punishing me it started to rain. Making what was left of Collin's scent on the scarf last only a few more minutes instead of hours. I huddled there for a whole hour before the rain past......I deciding on what to do next ,which was obvious......the only question was how to do it?

I didn't deserve life......I should commit suicide....but how?......maybe just run into Glendale acting like a feral letting the humans shot me to bits? Maybe go back to the mansion and find a gun to kill myself with? Or maybe hope for a Raoul Loyalist to kill me?

I was about to get up before I heard a another werewolf approached me. I prayed it was a Raoul Loyalist to kill me but I remembered the face it was Werek....a werewolf buddy of mine who talked highly of humans....I hadn't seen him in years.

"Talbain? That is you isn't it? Y-Your king now! What are you doing out here?" Werek asked.

"Werek.....do you have a mate?" I ask sounding sad

Werek was sadden himself he sat beside me and told me his story.

"I could have...years ago......her named was Danelia......she was the most beautiful werewolf girl you could have ever met....We loved each other my lord....it was love at first sight for both of us........We wanted to marry but....I was a lowly fruit seller....and she was the daughter of a minor lord......I couldn't provide for her.....I couldn't take care of her let alonechildren!.......I told her that......both of us were heart broken.....she wanted to run away with me....take her families wealth and live far off out of werewolf territory but I insisted she stay and marry a more powerful lords son.....she did......we ended our relationship there......that man was a monster.....he beat her....abused her and when he was done with her.....he threw her to the streets...broken and with nothing.....she died betrayed by everyone.....

Werek started to cry

"I should have just let her do it......I should have helped her take the gold and live the rest of our lives in happiness....but I didn't......its the greatest regret in my life....I would have never hurt her....I would have loved her with all my heart....."

Werek looked at me and smiled.

"You have a mate don't you Talbain? I know that look what happen?"

"I left him.......He needed me....and now hes gone forever."

"You love him though right?"

"Of course I do......but I don't deserve love."

Werek glared at me

"Did he love you back? Did you make him happy?"

I paused to consider his question.

"Yeah.....I did....he was happy with me"

"Well pardon me my majesty but stop acting like a coward and go out there and find him! Even though I haven't meet this guy you deserve him! And he deserves you! It shouldn't matter what stands between you! Just make sure you tell him you love him and that your sorry forever hurting him! You both need happiness and both of you deserve it!"

I considered his words and stood up looking down at him. He was a bit shorter then me. He looked away thinking I was maybe going to hurt him. I put my hand on his shoulder and shoke it.

"Your right, I need to find him and apologize....its the least I can do."

"But sir what about your crown?"

I knew what had to be done.

"Yes the crown...listen to me Werek and listen good....you will follow these three demands to the letter!"

"U-Umm yes my majesty."

"First you will treat all humans equally and allow unions between them! Say the king demands it and will not tolerate resistance!"

"U-Y-U-Yes sire"

"Second, we will begin negotiations with humans and begin trade and peace with them! Say to all all who resist THE KING DEMANDS IT!"

"I-I yes but-"

"And finally Werek....I resign being king and give you the crown! But you follow my first two orders to the letter understand?!" I asked or more like demanding.

"I-I" Werek was left speechless

"I'll try your-Talbain."

"Good luck to you"

I looked at the nearly setted sun and looked at the scenery beyond it.....Collin was out there somewhere....and he needs me.....I'll be there for you Collin......I'm just going to be a little late...I wrapped Collins scarf around the collar he gave me which I still wore everyday. I smiled at the letters around it and knew I will find Collin....I had to find Collin.

I took a big smell of his scarf and saw a little hazy trail which Collin went on. I took off in the direction of it....with no supplies....no gear...no weapons......no maps........using only my heart and good intentions............using my happy memories and dreams of our happy futures.........Using-

The Scent of a Lover.

Okay serious talk here. Listen in private PM i've heard 1/3 of you guys say you wanted it tragic , 1/3 wanted it happy and the rest didn't give me their preference. So I need to ask you guys......do you want it to end tragically? Or do you want it happy? I have an idea how to end it happily but I want to do it with your guys blessing and permission. I'm perfectly fine ending it like this but if want me to continue I'm okay with that too. Whatever you chose Thank you all for reading my series. You have no idea how happy I am to hear you guys love this! Thank you all! You rock! And maybe see you again? Otherwise I will start on my new series I've been working on! Thank you guys! ^_^ Don't forget to vote Tragic or Happy in the comments!
