Love is a bitch

Rated: R

Sighing I pulled Rachael closer to me. The coffin was slowly lowered into the ground.

" Ashes to ashes….Dust to dust…."

Nearly all the WWF superstars were here to take part of the Kat’s funeral…It was a cloudy day so the vampires could also join on. I looked over at Christian who stood next to Edge. He looked so fragile…Or broken would be more appropriate. Why did she have to die and leave Christian alone? He never tried for a woman before…Probably will never again.

" Matt?" Rachael whispered. I looked down at him. " You think Christian is going to be okay?" I shrugged my shoulders sadly.

" I don’t know babe…He worshipped the ground Kitty walked on…I don’t think he’ll ever be the same." The WWF superstars then walked forward and each threw a white rose into the coffin. Rachael and I headed over and tossed ours in as well. Christian was the last. He gave his rose a kiss and then slowly let it fall from his hand. I shook my head….God the kid was crushed…Broken…There’s nothing we can do to change this…Christian walked back to his brother and Edge pulled him into a tight comforting hug. I looked over at Jeff and Essa. They no longer had anything to hide. Jeff was holding Essa’s hand and small tears slid down his face. Gangrel made his way over to me.

" I think we should go…"

" Go where?" I asked.

" Go to leave them alone…." He pointed to Christian who had left Edge’s side and was now standing by the grave. I nodded and walked away with Rachael.

" Christian is so upset…How can we help him Matt?"

" When Mama died, Jeff and I stayed as close to each other as possible…Edge will play a major part in Christian’s comeback."

" He’d better…Christian will get torn apart in the ring," said Jericho as he walked over with Chyna.

" I still can’t believe Kitty’s gone…" stated Chyna. " She was so young."

" I know," I said. " I looked back at Christian who was now alone at the tomb. " He looks so lost… What can we do?"

" A little tender loving care never hurt anyone," said Jeff as he walked over with Essa. I looked to the side. The vampires were off by themselves probably talking about lamia stuff.

" TLC is all well and good Jeff….But this was Christian’s love, what we need to do is find him another girl," explained Jericho.

" I can’t believe you!" I snarled. " Kitty’s not been buried for more than ten minutes and you’re already trying to replace her?"

" For Christian’s sake…I can’t stand seeing him look like that….The kid’s hurting inside and I just want to help." Edge made his way over.

" Christian needs help alright…Kitty was the first girl he ever had feelings for….Maybe the only." The Enigma shook his head. " He’s talking to her right now…But…In all personal opinion…I never liked Kitty."

" What?" asked Chyna.

" She never saw Christian and when she did the nights were short."

" As long as Christian was happy, wasn’t that all that mattered?" asked my brother.

" It was Jeff…But Christian wasn’t happy…" He looked back sadly at Christian. " Not entirely.

" I still say we find him someone new," Jericho remarked.

" But what will Christian think?" I asked. " Will he want a new girl? Besides, who could replace the Kat?"

" There’s Molly," suggested Rachael.

" Hardcore wouldn’t let anyone near his baby cousin, you know that," I explained.

" How about Trish?" commented Jeff.

" You mean Trish the Fish?" snorted Chyna. " Keep trying…"

" All the other girls are just freaks," stated Jericho.

" How about Lillian?" said Edge. " She’s pretty and is a wonderful person.

" The ring announcer? I don’t think so…" muttered Chyna. I bit my lip and shook my head and looked back at Christian. I then stirred when a raindrop fell on my nose.

" Well…The weather’s appropriate I guess." I undid my umbrella and Rachael got under it with me. The other couples followed my example as did Edge. The rain started to pour and many of the superstars left.

" I just can’t stand seeing the Little One so upset. He’s such a wonderful person."

" I know Edge," explained Chyna. " He’s a sweet boy….I know we can find his girl out there somewhere." Edge looked back and frowned. I turned and saw Christian standing by the grave and getting soaked by the rain…He made no effort to try and cover himself.

" Ohhh….Christian’s gonna get a cold…." Edge walked over to where Christian was and started talking to him. Christian shook his head. Edge said something else and the Canadian once again shook his head. Edge sighed and pulled Christian to his side as he held the umbrella over the two of them. We had to find a girl for Christian…But who in world could replace his first love the Kat?

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

" AHHHH!!!!" Edge released his howling scream and charged into Jeff who dodged out of the way. We were defending our tag team titles against the Hardys….I sighed and leaned against the turnbuckle. Why? Why did this have to happen? Kat may have been the one….The special one whom I was to spend the rest of my life with…I sighed and looked over at the signs of surrounding fans.

I want to Marry Christian

Bring back the Pose

Christian’s My Religion…

Normally I’d be fairly amused by the signs, but nothing could get my spirits up…Kat was gone and she isn’t coming back.

" C’mon Jeff Hardy!" I turned around and saw Jeff on the mat in a submission position with Edge. Jeff managed to get to the ropes and Edge let go and picked Jeff up and threw him into the ropes. Jeff retaliated and dropkicked Edge knocking him to the mat. He started to crawl towards me and Jeff towards Matt. I held out my hand but looked up. I just don’t understand it…How could this happen to me…Kitty didn’t deserve to die…She was sweet….She was kind…She was…I felt a slap on my hand and the ref clapped his hands together. I climbed through the ropes and gasped when I saw Matt speeding towards me and knocked me down to the Matt. He then looked concerned.

" Christian? You alright?" I groaned and shoved him off me. He stared at me. " You wanna forfeit the match until you feel better?" I rushed forward and speared him to the ground…I could compete! I can still wrestle! The tears were falling through…I felt them and Matt felt a salty tear land on his face. He kicked me off and wiped at his face and shook his head.

" I can still fight Matt," I growled at him as we circled each other.

" You look like a wreck man…Call quits…" he told me.

" Quit this!" I rushed forward to spear him but he got out of the way and collapsed to the mat. I sobbed a little and wiped at my eyes. I slowly got up and Matt took my arm.

" Seriously Christian…You want me to just lose the match and we’ll have a new one when you feel better?" I gave him an elbow to the chest! I’m not pathetic! I can still wrestle as well as the next man! Matt held his chest and I knocked him to the mat.

" Don’t go easy on me! I can fucking wrestle this match! Okay?!" I barked. Matt shook his head.

" I don’t think…" I stomped his chest and he released a snarl.

" I can fucking wrestle! If you can’t just say so Matt!" I growled. He narrowed his eyes and they glowed amber…Oh shit…

" Right…" He leaped up pouncing me to the mat and released a snarl his eyes still glowing. " I was trying to be understanding Christian…But if you feel so sure of yourself…We’ll do this…Kiss your titles goodbye!" I yelped when he smacked me hard across the face! This wasn’t Matt strength…He was using the wolf now!

" Christian!!" cried Edge. " Matt hold it in! Matt!" Matt snarled and I saw a hint of fang. He picked me up and threw me across the ring and into his corner. He pressed against me his eyes still glowing.

" You can fucking wrestle now? Fine by me," he growled. He then tagged in Jeff and pulled me back. "AHHH!!!" He performed his Twist a Fate and pain filled my back…

" Kitty…." I groaned…I looked over and saw Mat ram into Edge knocking him away from the turnbuckle and into the barricade.

" HERE!" I heard Jeff exclaim. I looked up and saw Jeff leap off the turnbuckle and land on top of me. He then hooked my leg and Tim White dropped to the floor…One…Two…Three…The bell rang and Jeff rolled off and out of the ring. I turned onto my stomach and looked out at Jeff grabbed the belts and rushed to Matt and leaped into his arms laughing and crying. I felt like sobbing myself…Edge groaned and crawled in and looked down at me.

" You’re winners and New WWF tag team champions….The Hardy Boyz!"

" We…are the best…Tag team in the world!" shouted Matt before pulling Jeff closer and kissing his head. They hurried up the ramp. Edge looked down at me.

" Christian?"

" Ugggh…"

" Christian are you alright?" I lost Kitty….I lost the titles…Tears welled up in my eyes.

" I’m a loser…A damn loser…" Edge pulled me into his arms.

" It’s okay…We’ll win the titles back Little One…"

" No Edge…Face it…Without Kitty…I’m a loser."

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

I held up a belt and tapped my root beer against it.

" Cheers!" I then drank from the bottle and offered some to Essa who was next to me. Rachael shook her head and looked at Matt.

" You used the wolf out there, didn’t you?"

" What?" asked my brother. " No….No no no….Well….Maybe a little…But Christian pissed me off."

" Matt," I muttered. " His girlfriend just died…Cut him some slack."

" I was trying to in the ring…He gave me an attitude!" barked Matt.

" Well…Can you blame him…He’s going through a real emotional time right now," explained Rachel.

" His precious Canadian heart in is shambles," I added.

" I know…But…What can we do…"

" We need to talk to him…Be there for him…"

" But Edge…" started Matt.

" His brother is all well Matt, but he needs his friends too…."

" And we kinda took his belts…That might make situations worse," I mentioned nuzzling against Essa’s cheek. Matt bit his lip.

" I know….But…The wolf…It’s sometimes so hard to control…It decides when it comes and when it leaves….I have no method of truly holding it in."

" Good thing you didn’t completely wolf out," stated Rachel. I looked at my reflection in the gold of the belt….My face never looked better.

" You’re very pretty my amigo," whispered Essa as he kissed my neck.

" We should talk to Christian…He was crying the whole way up the ramp….The only reason the people aren’t laughing their heads off is because of Kitty."

" I know! But I doubt he wants to talk to me or Jeff now…" stated Matt.

" Well….What if I talked to him?"

" You Rach?" asked Matt.

" Yeah…I’ve dealt with girlfriends of mine who lost relatives…I can probably deal with Christian too." Matt placed an arm around Rachael.

" You sure you’re okay with this Rach? If he tries to get abusive with you…."

" Matt!" sighed Rachael. " This is Christian we’re talking about…Christian would never lay a finger on me."

" Matt’d kill him if he did…" I stated.

" You damn right!" exclaimed Matt. Rachael sighed and got up.

" Okay…I’ll go talk to Christian…I’ll see you later Mattie…" She leaned over and gave Matt a kiss on the cheek. Matt nodded his head and watched her walk off.

" She’ll be fine bro!" I exclaimed. " She’s with a member of the Brood…Remember?"

" I know…" He scratched his ear and picked back up his drink. " But something’s bothering me…Like a wolf sense…"

" Those do drive you nuts at time…Remember the time you had that feeling and you came into our room and me and Essa were…."

" JEFF!!" he barked. I giggled and hugged my husband tighter.

" The expression on your face was priceless."

" Shut up Jeff!"

" Bet you didn’t even know we could do that."

" Shut up Jeff!" I giggled again and leaned up so Essa could kiss my lips. I rested my head under his chin and smiled at Matt.

" You’d be surprised what a container of lube and your sewing supplies could do…."

" I told you to stop talking about it…" he growled.

" It’s not like you were using the needle magnet anyway…"

" Jeffrey Nero Hardy, you don’t shut up I’m gonna beat your ass down." I giggled and rested my head on Essa’s shoulder. " Fuck…I’m surprised I can still sew." Mattie was just jealous because he can’t do the things me and Essa can I bet.

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

I stopped at the door of Edge and Christian’s room…Maybe I should have called first…Maybe Christian and Edge just wanted to be alone right now…I then shook my head…Poor Christian needed all the friends he could get. Rapping on the door I waited for an answer….Nothing…I knocked harder.

" Christian?…..Honey?" The door opened and the young Canadian peeked out at me…He looked terrible…His eyes red from crying and their was a slight hint of alcohol on his breath…But he didn’t look drunk, so figures he was okay. He opened his eyes a little to see me clearer.

" Rachael?"

" Hi baby….You okay?" I groaned and leaned his head against the side of the door.

" You chose a bad time…" he mumbled. I sighed and shook my head.

" Christian…You need someone to talk to right now…"

" Rachael….I’m fine…I have Edge…." I looked over my shoulder and noticed that Christian was the only one in the room.

" Your brother isn’t here…Don’t lie to me Christian." He whined and his head fell down along with numerous long strands of blond hair that hid his face when he looked back up.

" I’m sorry…."

"Where’s Edge?"

" He’s making a phone call to Alanah…He told me he had to keep in contact with his love…" Christian then bit his lip and shook his head.

" Christian?"

" You can come in if you want…" He opened the door and I walked into the room…His clothes were scattered and I saw that he had broken into the mini fridge…That explained the alcohol breath. He let out a sigh and collapsed on the bed.

" Hey Rachael…" I sat down next to him.

" I know Christian…I know how it feels to lose someone you love…" Christian shivered and I rubbed his back to try and comfort him.

" Shhhh…I know…"

" Kitty was my life…My love…I’d do anything for her….And now she’s gone…" I continued to rub his back and shushed him.

" It’s okay baby….Shhh…." I leaned down and gave him a small kiss on the head before stroking his hair.

" No…Not only have I lost Kitty…I caused us to lose our titles…Now Edge hates me."

" Edge! Edge doesn’t hate you Christian! He’s worried sick about you! Christian…You are so much more important to him then the titles…You know that."

" But…"

" But nothing Christian…Edge is your brother and you know he’ll always love you no matter what." I pulled him up and hugged him. " I know you’re hurting right now and that’s understandable…But we’re going to help you through this….Me, Matt, Gangrel, Falcon…We’re all going to help you…" I tilted his chin up and looked into the watery ocean blue eyes.

" Rachael…?"

" You never know Christian…There are billions of women out there…Who knows…Maybe Kat wasn’t the one…Listen…Every female is an order and you’re the costumer…You get to decide which is the one for you." He nodded his head.

" But Kitty seemed so special to me…Her blue eyes…Her gold hair…"

" Kat was a very special girl Christian…We’re all going to miss her…" He sniffled and hugged me closer and I kissed his head and ran my fingers through his hair.

" I loved her…."

" I know…"

" She was so beautiful…"

" We all thought so…." Christian sat up and placed his hands on his knees and stared at the floor.

" Edge keeps telling me that Kitty might not have been my soul mate…." He whimpered.

" You never know," I answered.

" Jericho keeps telling me about these girls that he knows and is trying to hitch me up with them…"

" He shouldn’t have done that…It’s your decision to choose the girl you want…"

" The girls he chose me was dressed and made up to look just like Kitty…"

" Jericho did that?"

" Like offering a hungry dog a rubber bone…"

" Oh Christian…" He then looked up at me and put a hand on my shoulder and I touched it gently. " I’m here for you….You know that…" He sniffled and wiped at his eyes.

" I wonder…Maybe Edge is right…Maybe Kitty wasn’t the special one selected for me…"

" You never know Christian…There are a lot of women…I mean, you’re an attractive and charming young man…" I hugged him closer. " You’ll find the one baby…" I let him go and he looked at me.

" Any woman?"

" Any woman in the world would want you…I mean look at you…You’re such a wonderful person…I…" I was completely caught off guard when Christian pulled me close and without any warning he dragged me into a large kiss. I pulled away and stared at him in shock…Did Christian really just kiss me?

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

I smiled and nuzzled Rachael’s hair as we gathered for dinner. Gangrel and the rest of the vampires brought containers of blood and drenched it on their steaks. Rachael seemed uncomfortable…I could smell it on her.

" Rach?…….Rachael?"

" Hmmm?"

" Hey…" I rubbed her shoulder. " What’s wrong?" I glared over at Christian who was talking with Edge. " Did Christian say something to you?"

" No….No he didn’t say anything to me at all Matt…I’m just worried that he may be terribly affected by Kitty’s death."

" How so?"

" Well…He might go for the next woman he sees out of grief…"

" Good…It may give him someone else to care about…It would be nice for Chrissy to find himself a girl."

" But…" She bit her lip. " What if that woman is already with someone…"

" Then I guess she’ll just have to explain the situation to him and we’ll help him through this…We’re going to get through this Rach…" I then smiled as my rib order was placed in front of me. I grabbed one and began munching.

" Well…Matt…What if he doesn’t understand….What if he continues?"

" Then I guess the girl’s man is gonna to beat his ass down," I answered before swallowing.

" That’s what I was afraid of…" I looked at her oddly, but the meaty scent of the ribs drove my wolf’s hunger wild and I finished the rest of the ribs quickly and viciously leaving everyone staring at me.

" What?" Jeff snorted trying to hold in laughter and Essa whispered something to him that made him giggle even more. I cleared my throat and continued to eat.

‘ More’ Shut up wolf….. ‘ Need to fulfill the hunger.’ I’m not listening. ‘ If ribs not fulfill hunger than human flesh will….’ That’s enough! That wolf was trying to take over me, but I wouldn’t let it…I’m a Hardy…Nothing pushes me around…Not even the wolf. Human….Blech! I’m no cannibal…Damn wolf.

" Matt?" I turned and looked at Falcon who was looking at me concerned. " Hey son…You’re mumbling."

" Sorry…" I sniffed and then smelled the scent of human blood and my eyes glowed. I shook my head trying to distract the wolf…No! I was not going to be like Cassandra! I wasn’t going to prey on people!

" Matt!" Rachael caressed the side of my head. " Baby are you going to be alright?"

" Fine…I’ll be fine Rach." I then looked over and Christian and noticed he was looking at Rachael….Almost…Attracted….

‘ Taking our mate! Eat him!’ I thought I told you to shut up! ‘ He’s going to take our mate!’ She’s not my mate…and she’s NOT yours… ‘ Fine, she’s your mate…Dispose of the feeble competition.’ I’m not going to listen to you wolf. ‘ You have no choice…We are one now…More complete….We can converse.’ I can still act on my own will as you animal. ‘ Ahhh, but I have the power of influence.’

" Matt?" I looked up and Jeff was staring at me. " Matt you’re sweating…What’s wrong?"

‘ It’s jealousy! You know that blond is trying to take your mate.’ I don’t know that for certain. ‘ Look at the way he gawks at her…’ I turned and saw Christian look at Rachael. He then noticed me and turned away and talked to Edge again. ‘ You see my fellow brethren…He wants your mate.’ I don’t believe it. ‘ Don’t you think your mate was trying to point something out to you? Was I the only one listening to her?’ Christian would not do this to me wolf. ‘ Hah…You have too much faith in your friends…If you don’t believe me, fine…Let him take your mate then…But at least fulfill my hunger before I force you to eat somebody…’ I won’t eat human flesh hate to disappoint you. ‘ We shall see about that.’ I growled and munched on my ribs. ‘ You DO realize that he is trying to take your mate…"

" SHUT UP!!!" I roared. I then realized I had said it aloud and everyone was once again staring at me. ‘ Heh, did I strike a nerve?’ Just shut up…Stop embarrassing me like this…It’s bad enough I have to hear from you... ‘ I do my share of help…I give you strength, speed power and insight in what you cannot see…’ Did Cassandra have to put up with the voices in her head? ‘ Most likely my friend…The wolves like to communicate.’

" Matt!" I turned around and saw Gangrel. He had his hand on my shoulder. " What is wrong?"

" It’s the wolf," muttered Ogonz. I stared at him. " Cassandra had the same thing…After being a werewolf for over a month, you get past the pup stage and the thing starts talking to ya…Kinda of like a helpful advisor that won’t go away. Whatever you hear, it hears…Whatever you see, it sees."

‘ Pretty smart for a scummy vampire’ You shut up! I’ve had almost enough of you wolf. ‘ Just stating my opinion.’ Well don’t! ‘ How do you think that blond would taste anyway?’ I’m NOT eating humans! Get that through your furry skull. ‘ You can’t deny what you are! You have to prey on what we have preyed on for centuries.’ Well not this wolf buddy.

" Matt…" I looked at Rachael. " Why don’t you relax and try and eat your dinner."

‘ Your mate’s smart…Now fill up…I’m hungry.’ So sorry to keep you hungry you scavenger. ‘ Heh heh heh….You are a feisty one my friend…Perfect for the werewolf that is inside you.’ Yeah yeah…I munched on another rib and looked back at Christian. He was now looking again at Rachael and a smile came on his face. I released a growl and bit down hard snapping the rib apart with my teeth. Rachael gasped and stared at me. ‘ So you see…You are letting the wolf get the best of you, aren’t you my friend?’ Get bent.

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

I stayed settled in the back with Molly, Rachael and Matt. Chris Jericho had set me up for a date with Molly Holly. He told me with all the trouble he went through to make Hardcore allow this, he had better go out with her. Molly smiled at me and then stared at Matt who looked like he was having a conversation in his head…Wolf must be badgering him again. Rachael cleared her throat and smiled when then appetizers arrived.

" Well then…Let’s eat shall we?" Matt growled, stared up at the ceiling and shook his head. Maybe I’m making a mistake with Rachael…God knows what the wolf would do to me if Matt found out….No…He would understand….I grabbed one of the chicken finger and took a bite.

" So Christian…I’m so sorry about Kitty…."

" Yeah…" I swallowed. " She was wonderful…"

" I know…."

" Hey…" She put her hand on mine. " You know we’re all here for you…We’re going to help you through this…Right people."

" You bet," answered Rach.

" Mmm hmm," mumbled Matt as he grabbed three chicken fingers and scarfed them down…Well…The wolf was at least controlling his eating habits…Just as well…Matt could use a little meat on him…He’s strong but scrawny.

" Death is never an easy topic," stated Molly. " But we’re your friends Christian and we shall help you through this."

" Thanks Mol."

" Christian…" started Matt. " I know how hard it can be to find the perfect woman…But you have to look past the beauty."

" He’s right," replied Rachael….Damn did she look hot… " You have to look and see if they have the right characteristics…"

" Same interests…"

" A hold of secrets you don’t like to share…"

" A shoulder to cry on…"

" Arms to hold you just right…"

" A soul mate," finished Matt. " Love is a very complex system…"

" But if you play your cards just right…You find the one," stated Molly. I nodded my head and looked at Rachael. Hmmm…Pretty….She gave me a shoulder to cry on…We both like each other…Why couldn’t Rachael be mine…Maybe Matt was just an accident…Hell, he’s been a virgin up until now for God’s sake!

" I know…"

" Don’t you worry Christian," said Rachael. " You’ll find the one for you…" I know that Rachael…I know Essa and Jeff were soul mates…That’s been made clear to us…Luna and Gangrel have also proven their love to one another. Rachael and me…I could very well see that.

" Ooh!" Molly tugged on my hand. " The music’s starting! Let’s dance." I stared at Matt. He was working his way on his seventh finger and licked at the juice on his fingers…Why don’t we just buy him a chicken farm?

" Go on," said Rachael. " We’ll dance too."

" What about the chicken…*Ahem * My friend thinks I’m not eating enough."

" Tell your FRIEND that eating can wait and there’s always time for a dance." She then winked. " The chicken will still be here." Matt nodded and we got up. I placed my hands on Molly’s hips and slowly began to move to the music. She smiled and rested her head on my chest as we swayed. I looked over at Matt and Rachael. The Hardy had her pulled close and her head rested under his chin. He opened his eyes and saw me. He bared his teeth and then moved so that he and Rachael danced away. Was Matt catching onto me?

" Christian?"

" Hmm?"

" I asked you how long had you and Kitty been together."

" A little over six months…"

" Wow…"

" Yeah…" I kept my eyes on Rachael and Matt…The Hardy groaned and held his hand on his stomach. He said something to Rachael and she nodded. I then gasped as I was shoved aside by K-Kwik.

" Move over shrimp, I’m cutting in…" Molly gasped as he took her in his arms and began to dance. She looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. I gave a nod of my head and started to walk back to the table. I felt someone take my hand and I turned around…Rachael.

" What happened to Molly?" I pointed.

" Got cut out." She saw K-Kwik with Molly and frowned.

" You don’t have to take that! Go over there and get Molly back…"

" I’m not in the mood to start trouble Rach…"

" Okay…" I sighed and looked at her.

" You wanna dance?"

" Huh?"

" Just a quick dance? For a friend?" She looked at me carefully and then where Matt had disappeared.

" A small one…Okay…Matt gets extremely jealous…" I nodded and took her hands in mine and slowly began to dance with her. She smelled so good…Of Matt…But still her perfume was nice…Honeysuckle I believe…I slowly and cautiously pulled her closer. I was careful and she didn’t seem to notice. Soon I had my hands on her back and she was almost resting her head on my chest.

" You’re a good dancer."

" You’re not so bad yourself." I then smiled down at her and moved forward and tilted her chin on. The dance and swaying had made her drowsy as it usually does and I kissed her again. She accepted it for but a moment and then her eyes widened and she pulled away. " Christian!" she hissed at me softly but fiercely. " I know you’re upset about Kitty…But if you can’t have me…You’re just acting this way because you hurt so much….I’m not mad…It’s a normal reaction, but it has to stop." I took her hands and pulled her closer. It wasn’t a reaction from the death….Was it?

" But Rach…" I nuzzled into her soft black hair. I then felt something burning into my back. I turned around and saw Matt….His eyes glowing and he was most certainly giving me the death look. He bared his teeth at me….Oh shit...Had he seen the kiss? He gave me a forceful shove and got in front of Rachael…His eyes burned amber still looking at me. I knew what he was saying. ‘ Get your own…’

" I’ll thank you not to nuzzle my girlfriend Christian," growled Matt. Oh good….He hadn’t seen the kiss…Rachael looked at me and then turned away. " Go back to the table Rach…We’ll be right there."

" But Matt…"

" Please…Just do it Rachael." She nodded and left. I started to walk away but Matt grabbed my arm in a painful grasp. " Don’t be stupid Christian…Don’t go for my girl…Rachael is mine…Don’t nuzzle her…Don’t woo her….She is only mine…Find your own soul mate because the girl belongs to the me."

" Is that you talking or the wolf?" I retorted. Matt growled and turned around to go back to the table…He then looked back and gave me the unquestionable EVIL EYE. I shuddered and felt at my arm that still hurt…Perhaps I was being tested of my love…Get through the wolf to get the girl….Well sir…I am up to that challenge…I wouldn’t believe that this feeling was coming upon me just because of losing my Kitty…But then again…Rachael was a doctor…Could she be right?

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

I growled as I pounded on the candy machine…It ate my money again.

" Piece of trash! C’mon!" I gave it a super kick and a Kit Kat bar fell to the bottom. " There we go."

" Edge!" Scotty came over frowning.

" I assume Christian has overcome the death quickly.

" What are you talking about?!" I barked at him. " He’s absolutely crushed! Kitty was the world to him!"

" She was a skank!" stated Scotty.

" Huh?"

" She was cheating on Christian…I thought you knew about it…The bus hit her on her way out from a date with Grandmaster.

" I don’t believe it," I hissed. Scotty shrugged his shoulders.

" I’m not kidding you man…Kitty was dating Grandmaster, D’lo, K-Kwik…"

" NO!" I grabbed handfuls of his shirt and pulled him towards me. " She wouldn’t deceive my brother! He loved her! And she loved him!"

" Kat didn’t give a shit about Christian! She only made him think that so that she had the power of the Brood to back her up."

" No…"

" Edge…Ask Sexay…He told me…Kitty was cheating on Christian…" He shook his head. " If I were you, I’d find someone more deserving of your brother’s affection." Scotty then pulled loose and walked off….Cheating….Kitty was cheating on Christian?….After all the love and affection?…After all the efforts?….No…It can’t be true.

" I don’t have to ask! No woman would cheat on my brother!" I screamed after him. Scotty waved his hand and turned a corner. I growled and made my way back to the Brood’s apartment. I entered and found Jericho and Reeko lazing on the couch watching TV. I settled down in a chair.

" Hey Big Teef, what’s eating ya?" asked the Ayatollah.

" Oh nothing…Scotty just came up and told me that Kitty had been cheating on Christian…"

" She was?" asked Reeko.

" Of course she wasn’t! That woman wouldn’t have deceived Christian…I mean…You saw how he worshipped her…Scotty says she was in it only for the power."

" What does Scotty know?"

" He’s never lied to us before," I growled. Reeko came over and rested his head on my lap. I stroked his silver hair and he began purring.

" Sounds like maybe Christian is allowed to find another woman and have no guilt whatsoever…"

" No…I mean…Yes I want him to find someone…But I’m sure he still hurts inside because of Kitty."

" Well…Maybe the special someone isn’t a lady…"

" He’s not a twink!" announced Jericho.

" Bi," purred Reeko.

" He’s not Bi either! He’s into ladies! Get it? LA-DIES…"

" What about you and Chyna," snorted the fledgling.

" I’m gonna fucking stake you Reeko." I chuckled and resumed stroking the young fledgling. Well…Kitty had been missing a lot of get-togethers with Christian…I never heard her say ‘ I love you’ back to Christian…Could Scotty be telling the truth…I groaned and smiled as Reeko morphed into his wolf form and hopped up into my lap and curled up…It was a little heavy, but it was fun to have an animal who I knew wouldn’t retort with a smart remark on my lap. I scratched behind his ears and shut my eyes….Maybe I should tell Christian about Kitty? But what if it kills his dear little heart? I’ll have to think about it…But for now, best just to keep this between me, Jericho and Reeko.

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

" Christian!" I hurried over to where he was. The young Canadian was flipping through an old photograph book. He looked up at me and set the pictures aside.

" Hey Jericho…What’s up?"

" Big news!" I exclaimed as I sat down next to him. He tilted his head to the side as he looked at me.

" What about?"

" You don’t have to feel guilty about Kitty’s death anymore!" Okay…Maybe that wasn’t the best choice of words…But Christian won’t care once I tell him.

" What do you mean by that?" hissed Christian.

" Well...I don’t know how to explain this to you Christian."

" Try me," he growled angrily. I bit my lip and looked up at him.

" She was a whore."

" WHAT?!"

" She was a tramp! She was cheating on you Christian!" He stared at me and began shaking his head…Oh God, I hope he can take this.

" You’re lying….She loved me…She cared about me…"

" She was using you junior….She didn’t care about you…" He narrowed his eyes at me and continued to shake his head.

" Shut the fuck up Jericho…You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about." I stared at him and folded my arms.

" No Christian….I know exactly what I’m talking about….Think about it! Why didn’t Kitty go out with you as much as usual?"

" Because she was busy!" he snapped with tears forming in his eyes.

" No! Because she was off fucking one of the other superstars!" Christian got up and shoved me back.

" Shut up Jericho! I won’t have you talking about her like that!"

" What’s the matter with you Christian?! Don’t you think you at least deserve the truth?"

" That’s no truth! Kitty loved me! Prove me wrong!"

" Stop quoting Benoit Christian…It above your style." Christian wiped his eyes and then started off. I sighed and rushed after him.

" Leave me alone you jerk off."

" Getting a little touchy aren’t we Christian….Kid she was no good to you…Just forgot about the tramp and find someone else!" He froze and glared at me.

" Fine someone else?…I’m doing that right now…Not because I’m over Kitty….But because I know she’d want me to be happy."

" Bullshit! She didn’t give a damn about your feelings."

" Shut up Chris!"

" Listen to me….I’m only telling you this because you’re my friend and you deserve to know the truth…"

" Fuck you….I’m not going to listen to this…You go find someone else to torment! Jericho you have no idea what it’s like to lose someone you love!"

" Christian! She was a filthy….Dirty…disgusting…brutal…bottom feeding trash bag…." I then felt a surge of pain in my jaw and fell strait to the floor. I winced and put a few fingers to my mouth and noticed that it was bleeding. Christian glared down at me…His body trembling with fury.

" You can just go strait to fucking hell Jericho…You have no idea how hard this is for me to lose Kitty….I’ll be damned if I let you talk that way about her." He then stormed off fuming….Sheesh…I was just telling him the truth…I figured it would help him get over her….Turns out my plan reversed, it only upset him more.

" Well…That’s number two you pissed off Chris….Wanna go for three?" I got up and wiped at my mouth again. Maybe I shouldn’t have told Christian…Maybe this was something Edge should have told him…I know Christian would have believed Edge. I heard a foot tapping and I turned around.

" Well Ayatollah, that sure blew up in your face."

" I just figured that the kid would get better if he knew Chyna." She shook her head and walked over to me.

" He loved her Jericho…You can’t expect him to believe you…As far he was concerned, Kitty was his soul mate…You can expect him to just accept the fact that she wasn’t good to him…He’ll find the right girl, and when he does he’ll know she’ll be the one…Just give him some time."

" I dunno Chyna, he said he was already looking at someone, but I don’t believe him…If he’s still this obsessed over Kitty I don’t believe for a second that he’s looking at another woman."

" Oh God Chris, just give him some time…" She looked over at where Christian had been and then gently touched my bleeding jaw. " He’ll get over it soon…I promise."

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

I sighed as I settled down next to Lita. Why couldn’t things be simpler? Why did Kitty have to die? Why did Christian have to love her so much? Why did he have to want me? And why does my boyfriend have to be a jealous wolf creature?

" Rachael? Honey you okay?"

" I’m fine Lita…." I muttered as I held my face in my hands.

" It’s because of Matt, isn’t it? You’re going through a hard stage in the relationship…"

" How could you know?"

" Well….Ice is a vampire…So I kind of know where you’re coming from." I smiled at her and looked back at the pool where Jeff, Matt and Essa were. Jeff shrieked as Matt picked him up and tossed him five feet over to the deep end.

" Matt! Be gentle with him!" I called out over to him. He looked back at me grinning as Jeff coughed and shook the water out of his hair. Essa stroked over to make sure that he was alright.

" Just playing!" he shouted over to me.

" Well be careful! You’re stronger than he is!"

" I’m not gonna hurt him!" I leaned back and shook my head.

" Kind of like having a big kid huh?"

" More like a full grown puppy…" I turned to the side and smiled.

" Speak of the devil." Edge walked over with Reeko in wolf form on a leash. " I don’t think dog’s are allowed at the pool area Edge," chuckled Lita.

" Well…The people saw Reeko around and began to ask questions."

" Ah…I see." I reached over and scratched behind one of Reeko’s silver ears. " How are you doing baby?"

" Fine…" Edge then turned around. " Christian?…Hey Christian!" I looked over and Edge’s baby brother made his way over. He stopped and managed a small smile to his brother…But something had bothered him.

" What’s wrong Chrissy?" asked Lita.

" Oh…Jericho was just being an asshole is all…"

" Shit…" hissed Edge. He put his hand on his shoulder. " You want to talk about it Little One?"

" Actually I was hoping I could talk to Rachael alone." I froze and stared at him shocked. " I have to tell her something very important."

" Sure…Sure…" Edge backed off and Reeko tilted his head at me and his purple eyes shimmered. I looked into the water and saw Matt get pounced on by both Jeff and Essa.

" Alright…..Alright Christian….Just remember, Matt’s right outside." He nodded and we go up and walked to the gym. Lucky us…It was empty, what I hadn’t realized was that Matt had seen the two of us leave together. Christian brushed his hair back.

" Listen Rachael…I know over the past few days that I may have been a little grabby."

" Christian…Face it, you forced yourself upon me…" He looked at me sadly and then looked down. " Listen…It’s alright, I’m not mad…It’s understandable that you act like this after losing Kitty."

" You don’t understand…" He looked back up at me. " I love you." Oh God…Why did he have to make this so difficult.

" And I love you too Christian…As a friend…Matt’s my love, you have to understand that…"

" But…"

" Christian…" I put a hand on his shoulder. " You’re a wonderful human being and somewhere out there is the perfect girl for you…You just have to find her."

" But I think I already have…Rach…Jericho said that Kitty was cheating on me the whole time and was just using me because I was a part of the Brood…"

" And you believed him?"

" I’m not sure what to believe anymore." I sighed and shook my head.

" C’mon Christian…I know it hurts, but it will get better…But you have to understand that you and I can never be a couple…I love Matt and he loves me…And you know how jealous and possessive he’s become since he became the wolf."

" Why couldn’t we be a couple? I’m one of the few Brood members left who’s actually still human."

" Christian!" I snapped at him. He pulled me to his chest then…He wasn’t being aggressive though…I knew that…Christian would never be aggressive to a friend, it’s just not him.

" Please Rachael….Give me a chance…The last time I felt like this was when I was with Kitty."

" Christian…" I warned him. I then yelped as he pulled me into number three of the unexpected kisses. I whimpered and tried to pull out, but I didn’t need to because Christian did it himself. His blue eyes filled with horror and he quickly backed away. I looked behind and saw him…Eyes glowing…teeth bared….Matt had come and saw Christian kiss me and man was my Hardy pissed.

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

You know…Up until now, I thought Christian was a pretty smart individual….But now I stand corrected…I warned him about messing with my girl. ‘ So…I take it you should have gone with the wolf instincts?’ Oh God, the last thing I need right now is you. ‘ You gave him the warning…You have only one choice…’ I know…. ‘ You have to kill the competition for your mate.’ I snarled and my eyes narrowed as I felt my fangs extend and fur prick out from my skin. Christian backed away from me and held up his hands.

" Alright Mattie! Just calm down!"

" I warned you…." I growled. " I warned you to stay away from her Christian!" I moved forward as the wolf continued to exit.

" Matt!" I heard Rachael. " Matt please don’t!" I sniffed, but kept my eyes on Christian. ‘ You have to do this….You have given him fair warnings….If he doesn’t listen then that was his fault.’ I snarled and the large muzzle began to form on my face.

" Rachael go get help!" shrieked Christian. I wasn’t paying attention to Rachael so I didn’t know if she left or not…Either way….Nothing is going to save Christian. I howled loudly when the transformation was complete. Christian gulped and stumbled back into a gym horse. I leaped at him with my teeth bared ready to rip him apart. " Shit!" The Canadian rolled out of the way and onto his feet. I spun around and snarled at him. " Matt! Please get control over yourself! I know you know what you’re doing!" Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing you backstabbing cheat! I snarled and sprung at him tackling the smaller man to the matted floor. He cried and swiped his nails across my snout. I yelped and got off for a moment to wipe at the scratches. ‘ He wants to fight dirty….Then let’s fight dirty!’ Right…Christian got to his feet and stared at me as I approached him. " Matt….Please, I’m begging you…." I barked at him and he jumped back.

" Matt!" I spun around and saw Falcon and Edge. " Matt, calm the hell down! Don’t hurt him!" Hah, fat chance Edgie Poo. I turned back to Christian thrust myself into him digging my claws into his soft sides. He released a shrieked and pounded furiously at my snout. ‘ That’s it Matt! Kill him!’ I snarled as I felt something jump on my back. It must have been Falcon, because only a vampire could be strong enough to pull off a werewolf. I spun around and swiped my claws, but missed Falcon.

" Hey! You settle down you lunatic! You’re madder than a bull seeing red!" I growled and narrowed my eyes. I sniffed and turned around and spotted Edge trying to help Christian up…Oh no….Not this time Enigma. I howled and forcefully struck Edge to the side. ‘ There’s too many of the enemies companions here…Take this to another place.’ Good idea wolf. ‘ We haven’t been around the last few centuries by being stupid.’ Don’t get too full of yourself. I grabbed Christian and rushed out the exit door. " MATT!!!" Christian screamed as I rushed past the parking lot and to the neighboring park. I threw him against a tree and glared at him. He whimpered and shielded his face with his arms. ‘ Look at the pathetic weakling…How could he even consider himself a worthy mate of Rachael?’ Damned if I know wolf…I do know one thing though. ‘ What’s that?’ He’s a dead man! ‘ Heh heh…So true my friend.’ I grabbed Christian by the throat and began to lift him off the ground.

" Matt! Matt please! I’m begging you! You’re not like this! Don’t let the wolf take over!" Like hell the wolf is making me do this Christian. My lips curled back to revealing my rows of sharp teeth. ‘ Killing him now would be too easy…Have a little fun first….’ Sounds like a plan. I threw Christian to the ground and smacked him away with a thrust of my arm. He held him ribs crying and shaking his head. I could smell his blood now, and I’m a little guilty to admit that it kind of thrilled me. I rushed over and picked Christian up only to strike him a distance away again. ‘ That’s it my friend…Make him learn before you finish him off…He will be an example to those who try to take your mate.’ Shut up! I’m trying to concentrate here. Christian rolled onto his back and held up his hand. " Matt! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to fall in love with Rachael! Please! I’m sorry!" I snarled and grabbed him by his blond hair and forced him to his feet. Sorry? Hell…I’ll make him sorry for forcing himself on my girl. I wiped my claws across his chest opening new wounds. Then he was thrown into another tree. The young Canadian fell to the ground sobbing and moaning. " Oh God….Oh God Matt…." He had this coming…He knew better than to try and take Rachael. ‘ Alright…enough with the softening up….Time to finish this…’ I growled and moved towards Christian. He shivered and looked up at me with horror stricken eyes. I bared my fangs and raised my claws up to finish the job.

" MATT!!!!" My ears pricked up as I recognized the voice. Rachael flew past me and threw herself over Christian. ‘ What?! What is your mate doing?!’ Damned if I know. She looked up at me and shook her head. " Matt don’t do this….I know you…I know you’re not like Cassandra…I know you’re not a killer. Please…Please don’t do this." I stared at her as my ears remained up. ‘ Get her out of the way and finish him off!’ Wait a minute wolf…I tilted my head as I looked at Rachael. She sobbed as she held Christian to her. " Christian didn’t mean any of this Matt…It’s just a stage he was going through…Don’t do this." She looked up at me with her mahogany eyes. " Matt…You don’t kill…And more importantly, you don’t kill your friends." I released a whine as I continued to stare at her. " Matt…I love you….You know I’ll never leave you for anybody…Please, get rid of the wolf." I whimpered as my ears flattened. ‘ She’s babbling….Kill that man…’ No wolf….She’s right…I’m not a killer…Christian may have tried to take Rachael, but it was only because he’s been through a hard time. ‘ Bullshit! Rip him apart!’ I won’t hurt him anymore….I won’t sink to Cassandra’s level…I’m Matthew Moore Hardy…I’ll never be the murderous wolf. ‘ I had such confidence in you boy.’ I sighed again as I felt myself change. I shrank in size and the fur disappeared back into my skin. I shivered as I was once again in human form and fell to my knees. " Oh Matt…" I felt her hand on my shoulder and looked over the red scratches along my face that Christian caused.

" I’m sorry Rach…." I whimpered. " I’m sorry…."

" Matt…" Sorry was not going to cut it though…I seriously hurt Christian and was a menace to the Brood. Rachael stroked my head as she gently rocked me. " Don’t worry…Gangrel and the others are coming…They’ll take care of Christian."

" And me as well…"

" Don’t be so hard on yourself Matt."

" Rachael…I almost killed Christian…Do you have any idea how horrible I feel right now…I don’t even think I should be trusted in the Brood anymore."

" Don’t talk like that…They’ll understand." I rested my head against her shoulder. I could hear the voices of the Brood…They were making their way over….Were they going to destroy me or forgive me….Guess I’m about to find out.

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

" CHRISTIAN!!!" Edge rushed over and threw himself over his baby brother. I frowned at the mauled sight of Christian and looked over at Matt. He was whimpering and curled up in Rachael’s arms. Edge looked up from Christian and glared furiously at the Hardy. " I’ll fucking kill you Matt!" Jeff then threw himself in front of his brother and Essa joined his side.

" Calm down….Everyone settle down…" The group murmured a little before being silent. " I’m sure there was reason for Matt’s actions if we give him the chance to explain." I looked down at Matt who was frightened beyond a doubt. " Our ears are yours my friend."

" Grel….He….Christian was kissing Rachael…Against her will…I snapped…The wolf tried to take over me and I lost all control…I…I almost killed Christian…Oh God…." Ogonz walked over and stroked his head.

" Shhh…Take it easy Furface…You didn’t kill nobody…Besides…You were just trying to protect your girl…"

" No! No it’s not alright! What if it happens again?! What if I change and I have absolutely no control! What if I serious hurt someone I care about?"

" I say we kill him," growled Edge as he cradled Christian in his arms.

" You touch my brother and I’ll Swanton that pretty smile off your face!" hissed Jeff.

" Go ahead and try it wolf lover!"

" QUIET!!!" I hollered. Everyone stared at me. " No one will be hurting anyone…Matt is going through a difficult stage and is still trying to learn how to control himself…" I turned my attention to Christian. " And Edge, your brother knew better than to try and flirt with Rachael."

" He didn’t deserve to be mauled Grel," hissed the Enigma.

" Well, what’s done is done…Be grateful something worse didn’t befall Christian." Edge’s eyes narrowed as he scooped his brother into his arms. Reeko strutted over and stroked some blond hairs away from Christian’s face. He released a whine and nuzzled him.

" Don’t you worry none Reeko…" purred Falcon. " Christian’s gonna be Okay." Edge gave Matt the evil eye one last time before returning to the hotel. Matt shook his head.

" I almost killed Christian…I’m a threat to everyone here…Gangrel! Who’s to say I might not attack Luna or special dear to us?" I stepped back a little when he mentioned my love’s name.

" I can explain this if ya’ll don’t mind," stated Ogonz. I held out my hand.

" By all means."

" Matt…The wolf thrives on serious emotions….Anger….Envy….But most importantly….Jealousy."

" Jealousy?" asked Matt.

" That’s right…When Christian was making moves on your girl the wolf managed get some control over you…That’s why I keep telling ya to control your emotions." Matt bit his lip and nodded.

" Do you think Christian’s going to be alright?"

" A few deep scratches, he’ll recover," answered Rachael. The Hardy nodded.

" Come on…Let’s head on back in," sighed Ice.

" Edge is going to kill me."

" He’s just worried about his baby brother…He’ll get over it," I answered.

" I don’t know Gangrel," muttered Falcon. " Brothers tend to not be so forgiving when their baby sibling’s hurt." I narrowed my eyes at him and he backed off.

" It will be fine Matt…Let’s just head inside and take care of those scratches." Matt nodded and Jeff and Rachael helped him up and to the hotel. The vampires and I stayed behind.

" What do you think partner?" asked Ogonz.

" I don’t know Gonzo…As long as no one threatens his family or girl, I think we’ll be okay."

" What about Christian?" questioned Reeko.

" He knows better than to mess with a werewolf’s girlfriend…he was not being intelligent."

" So Matt’s safe?" Ice muttered. I nodded my head.

" For the time being…Remember, he’s still adapting to being a werewolf." Falcon bit his lip.

" Werewolves…Ain’t caused nothin’ but trouble."

" Matt is part of the family and we shall accept him for what he is," I growled.

" I’m just saying that what just took place could have been a lot worse."

" Matt has a good soul…That’s what stopped the wolf from killing Christian…No one stopped the killing but him…If he wanted to have ripped Christian apart he would have done so."

" Then….Why didn’t he?" asked Reeko.

" Because Matt’s not a killer and never will be…He’s a strong individual and won’t give into anyone…Not even the wolf." The others nodded and we started back.

" Edge will probably be mad at Matt for a while," stated Ice.

" I know…But like everything else…It shall pass."

" What do we do about Christian?" asked Reeko.

" Well...I’m pretty sure he’s over Rachael now…We’ll just have to wait and see what happens." Reeko nodded and we made our way inside. I looked up and noticed the quarter moon.

" Gangrel!" called Falcon.

" I’ll be right with you!" I glared back up at the moon. " Matt will not give into you moon…Not the wolf…Not Cassandra…Nothing shall make him into a bloodthirsty monster, I shall see to that." I then walked into the hotel and out of the chilly night air.

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

Christian whimpered a little in his bed. Rachael had done a good job bandaging him up. I growled as I rested my chin on my hands. I could rip Matt apart for what he did to my Little One. I head a clicking and turned my head. Reeko, in wolf form, was trotting over and looked up at Christian’s bed.

" What are you thinking about Reeko?" I asked him. He turned his head to me.

" Huh? I was just thinking he might want a little company."

" He has me Reeko," I grumbled.

" You know…animal companionship…It’s believed that an animal can help one heal more quickly."

" And they also say that coffee stops one’s growth, but look at me." Reeko sat down and stared at me.

" I’m just trying to help Edge…"

" Listen Reeko…I can take care of Christian fine by myself."

" You should be more willing to accept other people’s help."

" What are you talking about?"

" You seem very solitary…Why don’t you hang with the others?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

" I’m with Christian." Reeko shook his head and then hopped up onto the bed. " Hey! The last thing Christian needs to see is a wolf!" Reeko curled up along Christian’s side and rested his head on his paws. I got up to pull him off when Christian rolled over. His bandaged arm wrapped around Reeko’s neck and my Little One released another sigh.

" You’d be surprised Edge," he whispered to me. Reeko then licked Christian’s hand and laid his head back down. I shook my head and sat back down. I watched as my brother unconsciously brushed his fingers along Reeko’s silver fur.

" Well…Just as long as you don’t upset him." Reeko stared at me.

" You know Edge, not everyone is out to hurt your brother." I narrowed my eyes at him.

" I didn’t say that they were…Christian just nearly got killed by Matt…Don’t be surprised if first thing tomorrow morning I beat the little hell out of him!"

" Well…Christian was trying to steal Rachael from Matt," stated Reeko. I scoffed and folded my arms.

" That’s no excuse for trying to kill him." Reeko nodded his head.

" Be that as it may, you have to understand that Matt’s not exactly the same anymore. He has wolf traits and therefore is very possessive and protective of those that belong to him." I growled and turned my head to the side. " Listen Edge…I think you have to cut Matt a little slack…He could have killed Christian, but he didn’t."

" He could have left him alone too, but he didn’t," I snapped at him bitterly. Reeko frowned at me.

" What was Matt supposed to do? Let Christian continue to flirt with his girl?"

" He and Rachael should have come to me…I would have talked to Christian."

" But would he have listened to you?" I spun around and glared at him.

" What do you mean by that?"

" There are some things that can only be explained through physical means…Don’t think that Rachael and Matt didn’t try talking to Christian…In a way this probably gave the message to Christian loud and clear."

" That’s just like you fucking wolves…Sticking together in packs," I hissed.

" Just give it some time Edge…Matt really feels bad about what he’s done…And soon, you’ll understand that maybe all this did was open a window of opportunity to Christian to find the one that was truly meant for him." I looked at Reeko curiously as he rested his head on Christian’s hand and fell asleep in my brother’s embrace.
