"Mate."

In seconds his lips are pressed hard against mine and Ira pushes to take over. My eyes close and my breathing quickens as heat spreads over my body.

I feel muscular arms wrap tightly around my waist and my hands snake up to grip his neck. I hold Ira in the back of my mind and grin as she growls happily.

I hear a sudden knock at the door that has me freezing for a few moments. He pulls away and looks at me, his breathing as ragged as mine.

"Alpha? Sir, is everything all right?" I hear his Beta's voice ask.

"Yes Cameron, come in," he replies, taking a few steps back from me. The door opens, and his Beta walks in, glancing between us with a confused look.

My chest is still heaving and no doubt my eyes are swirling black with lust.

"Alpha, the man is in a silver cell as you asked, he is ready for interrogation," he says and my eyebrow shoots up.

"Interrogation? What the hell did he do?" I ask with a small smirk, crossing my arms over my chest.

"That's what I'd like to know, now if you will excuse me I have to attend to this matter," the Alpha says and I feel a shiver run down my spine at the power behind his deep voice.

"Don't forget Alpha that this is the Alpha Raven Silver," his Beta says and I look at him in confusion.

"That is a very good point, why don't you join us Miss Silver?" the Alpha asks and I give him a small smirk.

"Its Alpha Silver, and it would be my pleasure."

He grins and leads me through his maze of a compound. Everything seems to be connected and partly underground, and surprisingly warm considering the weather outside.

Ira what the hell is going on? How can I have another mate? I growl as I follow him through the compound.

He is my mate. Blake was Akira's mate, this Alpha is mine, that's why when I came, Blake was no longer your mate, she says and I snarl.

You let me think that my father was the culprit behind our lost connection, and it was your fault this whole time?

Yes, and you should be thanking me. Blake is an asshole that clearly can't deal with your power or strength, but obviously, your new mate doesn't seem to be bothered by it, she growls back and I sigh.

You're right, thank you.

We suddenly stop at an iron door with two guards on either side of it. They open the door with a nod at the Alpha and immediately the smell of blood fills my nose.

The prison inside is filled with cells, all stained red and coated in sheets of freezing water. As we pass I notice that most of them are empty, but a few hold wolves that look on the verge of dying.

We walk into another room that is also guarded, and I realize it is a torture chamber. There is a man chained to the ceiling with his feet barely an inch off the ground.

I smell the air and can't help the growl that escapes.

"He is a Hunter," I mutter angrily.

"Yes, and we found him trying to get into my office. Unfortunately, he has refused to tell us anything about what he found or why he is here in the first place," the Alpha sighs.

"He has already been tortured for a few days but doesn't seem to want to talk," Beta Cameron says.

"Hunters are trained to withstand torture, but there are two things that broke everybody, every time, well, everybody except me," I mutter the last part under my breath and reach into my boot, pulling out my dagger.

I walk up to the man and look at him.

"Do you remember me?" I ask and he nods.

"Raven Blackwood, well, now it's Silver isn't it? I was there the day you left, you killed my brother Jason," he spits out and I smirk.

"I remember Jason, he was scrawny, unskilled, and didn't even stand a chance."

"You haven't changed at all." I shrug and look at my dagger quickly. It is thin and long, unlike most of my others.

I walk up to him and as soon as I put my hand on his face, his eyes fly wide and he starts jerking around violently.

"Can somebody hold his head still please?" I ask, my voice clearly showing my annoyance.

My mate walks up behind him and holds his head firmly in place. I position the dagger just barely above his eye and slowly push it in.

The point pierces the space between his eye socket and his eyeball and he grits his teeth in pain. I push it further until I hear him start to scream.

"Tell the Alpha what he wants to know and I will stop, if you don't then I will keep going," I growl and he clenches his jaw tightly. I push the dagger a little deeper and see his defiance snap.

"Okay okay! Just stop! Please stop!" He screams, blood stained tears falling down his cheeks.

I yank the dagger out and he starts to sob. I smirk and gesture for the Beta to come forward.

"He should be much more cooperative now," I mutter.

"Thank you Alpha Silver," he grins and starts asking questions, the Hunter glancing at me in fear before responding.

My mate comes over to stand beside me and leans down so his mouth is next to my ear.

"That was quite impressive, I've heard some rumors about you but I never expected them to be true," he says and his breath fans against my ear, making my skin crawl.

"What kind of rumors?"

"That you started a pack of only Lycans and that you are the harshest and strictest Alpha in North America. You have beasts that are massive in size and cannot be killed. Your mate is the Alpha of the pack that you are currently warring with," he says and my breath catches in my throat.

"Black Redthorne was the mate of my wolf. However, when I first shifted into my Lycan, our bond broke. My Lycan's mate is you," I tell him and turn to look up into his eyes.

"Come with me," he mutters and gives his Beta a nod before leading me out of the prison. I follow close behind him through dimly lit hallways until we reach a set of double doors.

He pushes the doors open and I realize it must be his bedroom. There is a massive bed with a fireplace across from it and I can see a connected bathroom.

I hear the doors close behind me and turn to have him kissing me hard. My lips move against his in perfect harmony and heat spreads all throughout my body.

His arms wrap around me tightly and my fingers run through his hair. His tongue runs across my lip and I open my mouth with a small grin.

Ira is howling with pleasure and I push her to the back of my mind to shut her up. My hands find the hem of his shirt and I tug it up slightly.

He pulls away to lift his shirt over his head before helping me to yank off mine. He looks over my black lace bra with lust before assaulting my mouth again.

My chest heaves and every spot his skin touches mine is burning with electricity. My hands roam over his sculpted chest and I feel dozens of scars beneath my fingers.

I moan into his mouth as his hands stroke my bare skin and my back is instantly slammed against the wall. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him closer to me.

His lips move down my jaw until he is sucking on my neck. He hits my sweet spot and I can't help the sound that escapes my mouth.

He lets out a low growl and I gasp as his canines sink deep into my skin. The pain quickly turns to pleasure and my nails dig into his back.

He places a light kiss on his mark and I shudder as waves of ecstasy roll through my body. His hands move to my thighs as he carries me over to the bed, pushing me down onto my back.

My pants are gone in seconds and he climbs on top of me. His arms rest on either side of my head, supporting his body as it hovers just centimeters above mine.

"Now would probably be a good time to ask for your name," I mutter, my voice breathless.

"Xavier," he says with a smirk. I grin, grabbing his neck and pulling him down in another heated kiss.

I unclip my bra and toss it to the floor making him groan into my mouth. His hand moves to massage my breast and I gasp.

I feel my eyes turn black as his mouth and his hands force another moan from me. I watch his eyes flash ice blue at the sound and the next thing I know he is inside me.

I gasp at the pain that floods my body for several seconds and close my eyes, my nails digging deep into his back. His lips move away from mine until they are by my ear.

"Open your eyes," he whispers with a small groan and I obey. My breath catches in my throat at the lust and desire that swirls in his icy blue orbs.

He pulls out of me before immediately pushing in again, deeper this time. I grit my teeth, his massive size making this fairly painful.

He suddenly starts moving faster and the pain subsides. Pleasure suddenly rips through my body and my hips start moving up to meet his thrusts.

I feel something build in my core until I am panting and black spots flood my vision.

"Xavier!" I cry out before collapsing, sweat covering my body. My breathing is ragged as he pulls out of me and lays down beside me. He throws the silk sheets over us, making me sigh as the cool material hits my burning skin.

His arms wrap around me and I shift so I can pull him in for a soft kiss. My head rests on his chest, listening to the sound of his heart.

My own beats erratically and my breathing matches it. I take deep breaths and listen as my chest starts to rise and fall more slowly.

"Goodnight Xavier," I mutter, staring into the darkness.

"Goodnight Raven," he whispers, placing a kiss on the top of my head.

I feel my eyes close and I slowly drift off into darkness.

**********

My eyes snap open to yelling inside my head.

Where the fuck are you Raven? I hear Hailey's voice scream.

Calm down! I was sleeping! I will see you in a little bit, I growl irritably.

Calm down? You have been gone since yesterday when you went to see the Alpha!

I know, and something came up but everything seems to be resolved now so stop worrying. Now I have to go, I will see you in a little bit, I huff in frustration and end the link.

I look around with a sigh and notice Xavier is gone. I hear the shower running and assume he is inside.

I sit up with a small groan and wince at the soreness between my legs. Ira, can you help me out a bit?

Why? She asks in annoyance.

Because I am not going to be waddling around like a duck all day!

Fine, she growls and I feel energy run through my body until the pain fades.

Thank you, and shouldn't you be happy? You have a mate and the bond is official, I growl. My shoulders suddenly drop and my eyes widen in realization.

I have a mate and the bond is official, I think. I shake my head and stand up, quickly dressing myself in the clothes that are strewn all over the floor.

I hear a door open and Xavier walks out, wearing a pair of basketball shorts and drying his hair off with a towel.

I spot his tattoos and realize they are more like tribal markings, covering his right arm and stretching over his chest and most of his back.

"Your friends are probably at breakfast," he says and I nod.

"They are wondering why I didn't come back last night." He smirks and tosses the towel into the bathroom.

He leads me out of the room and through the compound. We reach a massive dining hall and Hailey and Maya are eating breakfast at the long table.

They see me and Hailey jumps to her feet. She runs and throws her arms around my neck and I stagger back in surprise.

"Woah, okay Hailey calm down," I tell her and she steps back, punching my arm.

"I was so worried about you! I thought something happened!" She growls and I look over her shoulder at Maya who merely shrugs.

"I told her you were fine but she didn't believe me," she says.

"What the hell were you doing—wait a minute." Hailey looks at me and a grin slowly makes its way to her face.

She smells the air and suddenly starts jumping up and down, her hands clapping in excitement. I raise an eyebrow at her as she squeals.

"What the hell Hailey?" Maya growls in irritation.

"Raven has a mate and they totally did the dirty last night!!!" She yells and I roll my eyes.

"Can we be a little more mature?" I ask and she giggles.

"That's why you didn't come back last night because you were totally getting marked and laid! Who is he?" She demands and I feel an arm wrap around my waist.

Xavier pulls me flush against him and both Maya and Hailey squeal this time.

"This is Alpha Xavier, now if you two don't stop screaming you are going to kill my ears," I whine, rubbing my ears ruefully.

They take deep breaths and return to their seats with obnoxiously serious faces that have me chuckling. I turn to look at Xavier and frown as I realize something.

"I can't leave my pack," I tell him and he sighs.

"I can't leave mine either," he says.

"Well then it seems we have a problem."
