Save me

Chapter 23.

I woke up the next morning, massive headache and sore, puffy red eyes, I forced myself up. Dragging myself to the bathroom and splashing my face with cold water, I dried my face and dragged my feet out the bathroom. Adam stood infront of the bed, his arms crossed over his chest, he frowns, looking straight at me, I stopped, arms length away from him, looking at the floor.

"Babe.. What's wrong..?" He pulls me closer to him, his arms wrap around me firmly, concern in his eyes.

"Something happened last night..." I choked out, trying to catch my breath, I held back my tears.

"What happened..?" He becomes more concerned, I sucked in a breath and shut my eyes.

"River..." I managed to speak out, but my tears couldn't hold back any longer.

"What about River...?" Adams voice became lower and more serious, I breathed in again.

"He's dead.. Adam.. Rivers gone.." Adams body stiffens and lets out a low growl.

"What do you mean he's dead?! How!" He shouts, the vein in his neck pops out, he was really mad.

"He's dead Adam!! It was the hunters!" I cried out, the tears came bursting out.

"What the hell were you doing out in the woods!" Adam snaps at me, I flinched at his tone of voice, I've never seen Adam so mad at me before.

Adam P.O.V

I can't believe River is dead!! Stupid hunters! They are so bloody dead! I mean, I know he slept with my mate and did a couple of things he wasn't supposed to. But he still was a best pal to me, he was still my closet friend, the anger inside me built up, I better go before I yell at Alice anymore. She's never seen me so mad at her, but I can't blame her for the death of River, she's so upset, the tears won't stop running down her face. It hurts me seeing her so upset, but me yelling at her isn't helping either, I clenched my jaw and turned walking away from Alice. I shifted into my wolf, I didn't care about ruining my clothes, I just ran into the woods, I didn't stop, I pushed and pushed until I puked. It helped getting rid of some anger, I slowly walked into the meadow, I saw a wolf body laying under a tree. I walked over to it, when I got closer, I realized it was Rivers body, I completely froze in my spot, my eyes widen, staring at the body in front of me.

"This.. This can't be.. R-River..." I whimpered.. Small tears dripped down my cheeks, I growled at myself.

I am a man! Men should not cry, I have to be strong.. No! I will not cry, I bit my lip holding back my tears. I stomped my foot on the ground, I turned around walking away slowly, my head was down as I made my way to the camp. I saw Alice sitting outside the door, she was hiding her face with her hands, she was crying, I could feel her pain. I walked into the house, I couldn't bare to see her like that, I went into our bedroom and laid on the bed, I put the T.V on and tried to get my mind off things.

Alice P.O.V

I heard Adam coming back from his run, I couldn't stop crying, it hurt.. River was an amazing person. Now.. He's gone, Adam just walks past me and goes straight in the house, not even a hug or comfort. I stood up and walked into the house, I wiped my tears and went to the bedroom, I saw Adam laying on the bed watching some T.V, probably trying to get his mind off some things. He looks at me, he gets up and grabs my arm, pulling me down on the bed, he wraps his arms around me and doesn't say a word. I leaned my head on his chest, my hands gripping his shirt, we stayed like this for a while, Adam lets me go and kisses my forehead, getting up and walking into the bathroom. I want to know what he's thinking... I worry about him... I know he ran until he made himself sick.. That wasn't good. He needs to stop... I don't want him to do anything more dangerous, he's been in that bathroom for a while.. What is he doing. I got up and walked to the door, I knocked on it and waited for a bit.
