I turned away from Aeriela door with this feeling in my stomach that something wasn't right. I walked down the hallway and back over towards my room. I grabbed onto the frame of the door, "Aeriela gone." I told Killian.

"What?" he questioned before walking over. "Like from her room gone? She's probably just somewhere the house."

I brought my hands up to my ears as I turned my senses on but I didn't hear Aeriela nor did I smell a strong scent. Her was here but it was very faint. I turned around and hurried over to the staircase. Killian followed behind me and I followed the scent over to the door of the house. I grabbed the handle and opened the door. The scent lingered before it disappeared.

"Shit." I mummbled. I hit the banister ledge, "Where the hell she go?"

I heard someone footsteps and I turned to see Ulric coming towards us, "What up?"

I walked passed him, "Aeriela gone. She left somewhere."

Both of the boys followed behind me as my hands clenched and my mouth pressed together tightly as I went over towards Tamaz door. I pushed the door opened where him and Lizaveta were sitting near the desk, "Your bother came home but he left again so suddenly."

Tamaz didn't gave me a look, just blinked as he stared at me, "Did he? He didn't tell me he was leaving."

I stepped towards him, "Aeriela left with him. Where'd they go?"

He shrugged, "I do not know, I'm sorry. I'm sure they'll be back. Probably just went to go have one dinner before you leave."

I growled, "Tamaz, be a friend and tell me if you know anything."

Killian walked over, "Aeriela needs to pack so we can go home. This is important-"

"Killian, you are my dear friend. I honestly don't know." he said. "I understand the great deal of this situation but-" he was cut off when his phone went off. His eyebrows furrowed together as picked his phone up and brought it up to his ear.

After a second his eyes widen as he quickly tensed up and his whole body turned ghost white. Lizaveta eyebrows forwards together and from what I heard the voice spoke was a strong accent. Similar to Tamaz but stronger.

The voice stopped and hung up. Lizaveta leaned over and spoke to him. Tamaz quickly stood up and grabbed her, speaking to her and her eyes widen in fear.

He pushed her slightly away, "Go pack yours and Iakob stuff. Denmark alpha will take you both in, I will call them" he said as Lizaveta nodded and hurried out of the room.

"Wh-what?"I questioned as I watched her hurry out the room. I turned back to Tamaz, "What was that? What's going on? Why are you sending her and your other son away?" Tamaz picked his phone up and quickly texted something. His eyes burned yellow as I saw his adrenaline rush. I growled, "Tamaz!"

He threw his phone down on the desk as his head lifted up, "We gotta go." he said as he walked around his desk and grabbed my arm to turn me around and I followed him out of the office towards the entrance of the . "Things have completely turned around. I'm so sorry for lying to you guys, I did not expect this to happen."

We all followed him, "Tamaz, tell me what's going on." When we stepped out onto the porch I grabbed his arm and halted him, turning him to face me, "Talk, now."

"Eastern Europe has always been threaten by one pack we all know is out greatest threat. Beta Andrei-Yuliya father-Yuliya was giving a warning. We always just turn away from it because she was disowned but apparently that was wrong." he said, sighing heavily.

My eyebrows furrowed together, "Huh? What's going on?"

"We must get to the courthouse. That whete Zakaria and Aeriela are." he said.
"Courthouse?" I questioned.

He nodded, "Zakaria talked her into getting secretly married." My eyes widen as it felt like cold water on splashed on me and I knew both the guys were surprised just as me because neither of them spoke. Tamaz gave me an apologetic look, "Under my orders."

Aeriela

I sat down on the bench inside the girls bathroom. My stomach was in knots and I didn't feel good at all. I was nervous, really and sorta scared. I shouldn't be scared about getting married. My hands shook on my lap and I knew that wasn't good.

What are you doing Aeriela?

I stood up from the bench and walked over to the mirror in the bathroom. I leaned against the sink, staring at myself. I was in a white long sleeve dress, the skirt going to past my knees by an inch. The dress was plain but still pretty. My hair was pulled up into a neat bun. It looked decent for a wedding look.

But playing the part of a bride didn't help ease my nerves. I closed my eyes and prayed this feeling of wanting to throw up goes away.

Is this wrong? Is that why I'm feeling this way? It shouldn't be wrong, I love Zakaria and this is what people in love do. Get married.

There was a knock at the door, "Aeriela, are you ready?" Zakaria asked.

A lump formed in my throat, "Yes." I forced myself to say through the lump. I made myself stand up from the sink and I ran my sweaty hands down against the skirt. I took a deep breath and placed a smile on my face.

Mat

I caught this smell in the air that made me stop running. We were all in human skin but running quickly on human legs. They all looked at me confused and impatient.
My nose flared at this scent coming in the air. It smelled nothing like the Georgian wolves and it didn't smell like us.

I also smelled gasoline. Loud noises like trucks hit my ear and I turned, running in the field and the I heard the others following me. I saw something miles away coming from a hill five large SUV's driving towards the way to the village.

Tamaz gasped, "Those aren't our cars." he said, staring at them. "We must hurry! Andrei looking for Zakaria!"

"Where's Ulric?" Killian questioned. I quickly turned around and looked around until I saw him running towards the direction we were originally going.
"We won't make it on two legs." Killian said, breathing heavily.

"Then we don't." I said before I shifting.

Aeriela

I walked over to the bathroom door and opened it. Zakaria changed into nice black trousers and a white button shirt with a black tie. He was dressed sharp with his usual messy hair combed back and he smelled like cologne.

He smiled, "You look beautiful." he held his hand up and I stared at it for a moment before taking it. He held a gold wedding band up a little and put it in my other hand, "A beautiful bride indeed."

I gripped his hand like my life depended on it and he winced slightly, "Are you sure we're doing the right thing?" I asked.

He gave me a small smile and brought his other hand up to my cheek, "Yes Ellie. Don't be scared, it's me. You never have to be scared with me."

I forced a small smile that I wished was real but my stomach still was in knots. He slid his hand out my hand that I was holding onto hard and took my closed fist, bringing it up to his mouth and kissed my knuckles. He wrapped his arm in mine and led me over to the double doors that slightly chipped white paint.

There was no inside as we walked in but a judge waiting at the end. My hands sweated and my nerves burned with anxiety even though I tried to tell myself this was the right thing to do.

The judge started and I looked up at Zakaria, hoping it'll comfort me but he just stared at the judge speaking in Georgian. I looked back at the judge and he talked for a moment, me not understanding a lick of it.

The judge looked up at Zakaria speaking to him, mentioning my name. Zakaria spoke the words he told me to say after the judge spoke to me.

Zakaria turned me to face him and he slipped the simple gold band into my ring finger.

The judge spoke to me as I turned to look at him and it went to quickly. I opened my mouth to speak but I forgot how to say the words I was suppose to say.

I looked at Zakaria and I noticed the impatient look on his face. He forced a small smile, "Ellie, it's okay. Just say the words."

I bit my lower lip, "I forgot." I told him apologetic. He breathed out heavily and repeated the words. I went to say the words but something stopped me. I stared at him for a moment but all I could think about was Mat. My family. Even Ulric.

They would all be disappointed if I did this.
Zakaria breathed out heavily, "Ellie?"

"I..." I started to say in English. I meant to say them in his language. Ellie, don't do it. It is wrong, you're not all excited about this. I took his hands into mine, "Zakaria. I'm sorry. I can't, not right now."

"What?" he questioned. He chuckled humorlessly, "Ellie, do not be silly. Of course you will, you have too."

"Zakaria, this isn't right. Not right now, it'll only hurt my family. I know Mat, she wouldn't get over this. And honesty, it doesn't feel right. I'm sorry, I wanna do this the right way." I said.

His confused look turned cold, "Aeriela, this is the only way! Alpha Matilda will never let us get married. She proved that by putting the wedding on hold."

"I told you I would talk to her-"

He grabbed my upper arms and my eyes widen as I looked up at him, "Aeriela, we're here already. Just agree and be my wife. So what if she gets mad, this will be your pack now. Your home."

I tried to stepped back, "Zakaria, let go!"

"Just say the words!" he said coldly, making me angry and I felt this threatening feeling from him that made me react back. "Say them!"

I grabbed his left arm and turned him around, holding his arm behind his back awkwardly and painfully. I grabbed his shoulder with my other hand as he cried out, "I don't think so." I told him as I growled and I pushed him. He fell onto the ground and gave me a cold look as he turned to face me. I glared at him as my blood pumped through my veins and I took the wedding band off my fingers. I threw both of the bands at him and snorted, "So determine to marry me. Why?"

He breathed out heavily, "Love?"

I growled as I took a step towards him but the door to the room burst open. Our heads snapped towards the door and I was surprised to see Ulric running in. He stopped as quickly as he rushed in, "Aeriela wait!" he yelled.

He breathed heavily, sweating as he finally took in what was happening. His eyebrows furrowed together confused and he didn't seem to understand what was going on.
Zakaria groaned and I just stared back at him. How'd he know where I was? I walked over towards him, "Ulric what are you doing here? How-"

He walked quickly over towards me, "Please don't say you married him. Please!" he said, sounding like he was begging.

I stopped, "No but that doesn't answer my-" Ulric threw his arms around me and brought me towards him, hugging me tightly. My cheek pressed against his chest where I heard his heart racing inside his chest. My eyes widen as he held me in his arms, holding into me tightly like his life depended on it.

"I love you, Aeriela." he said, breathing heavily . "I love you so much."

I didn't respond. Mostly because I was speechless. I didn't know how to respond to that but when he said it, I believed it. He breathed heavily as he held me, his heart beat slowing calming.

"Ulric." I could only say.

"It's okay. I know you don't need feel the same anymore. I just couldn't let you marry him. It would be forever both our mistakes." he said.

My arms did their own thing by reaching up behind his back and I gripped onto his shoulders. I closed my eyes and pressed my cheek further into his chest, finding comfort in him.

After a moment he pulled away and looked behind me at Zakaria. His teeth bared as he growled and he started to go around me but I grabbed his arm, "Ulric, don't."

He growled, "He's a liar, Aeriela! Tamaz told him to do this!"

Zakaria growled, "You are the liar."

Ulric made a noise that sounded like a snort and a chuckle, "Your brother sold you out buddy."

Zakaria cold look dropped and my whole gut dropped. So Tamaz told him to plan this whole thing? Zakaria was only doing his Alpha's orders.

Ulric took a stepped forward but I grabbed him, "Ulric, wait. As much as I would like you to kick his ass, it doesn't matter. We're leaving." Ulric growled as he continued to glare at Zakaria so I pulled him away and he turned. We both walked out to the entrance of the room and I felt to numb to even grasp what's going on right now.

This unknown scent hit my nose as we walked over to the courthouse entrance leading to outside. When we stepped out, a bunch of men--no, wolves around the courthouse. Maybe a little over than twenty of them.

My back stiffen as I stared at them, feeling a threat coming from them as I looked at all of them. I was so confused though since I didn't know who the were or what was going in.

One of them stepped forward. He was a tall older man, maybe near his fifties. He was buff though for his age and had this natural mean look.

He opened his mouth to speak but the courthouse door opened again. Zakaria stepped out and he looked up from his phone. The annoyed look on his face disappeared and it turned white.

"Ah, Zakaria." the man spoke, his accent deep and hard. It was very deep that it couldn't be Georgian. "The wolf I wanted to see."

Zakaria swallowed hard, "And-Andrei."

This Andrei stepped closer, "Congratulations on the wedding."

Zakaria looked scared, "Andrey, I did not-"

Andrey held his hand up, "Seeing your fiancee come out with another wolf was enough to tell enough. Do you not understand sarcasm? But you still were engaged to another."

"I thought I had the freedom again to marry." Zakaria said.

Andrei shook head, "You ruined Yuliya chance, so you ruined your own as well. You embarrassed my daughter and my grandchild enough."

"Andrei--please!" Zakaria said, looking afraid.

Andrei said something in Russian and wolves came near us. Both Ulric and I growled as the came towards us and the wolves paused as they looked at me but growled back.

I heard heavy footsteps and my head snapped to my left when I saw three wolves running my way. Mat jumped onto the wolves in her way back, making him fall. She pronounced off him and jumped in front of me and Ulric. Killian came beside her and Tamaz went to his brother side.

She seemed to know which one was leader of this and growled at him. She shifted back into a human and stood up, "Their my pack members, back off."

Andrey hard look turned amused a little, "You must be the wild American alpha." he said, turning his attention towards me and my nose wrinkled as I press my lips firmly together. He chuckled, "What a day this is."

"We're guest in this country, you can't take us." Mat said.

Andrei grinned, "You clearly don't know the rules here." He spoke in Russian and the other wolves did whatever he said.

Killian jumped on the wolves coming near Mat and my back tensed. Ulric growled as he shifted and Mat quickly did too. I stepped back, wanting those feelings of shifting to come. A wolf ran towards me and I tried to make myself turn faster. I growled when he was only a foot away and I lounged at him in human form. Once he fell back onto the ground, I felt those feelings and I quickly shifted into my wolf.

The wolf under me growled as his human hands came up, lifting me from his. He brought his fist out and punched me across the face. It didn't hurt but it sure surprised me.

He turned around and I bit into his arm. He pulled around and quickly stood up, shaking my body and he fell off me. I got on top of him and held him down. This new anger in my was a dangerous one. Never before had I have the urge to kill as much as I do now. My mouth came down, sinking my teeth into his neck. Warm blood filled my mouth and I pulled away, ripping his throat out.

In the corner of my eyes I saw another wolf came towards me and he tackled me to the ground. He was a surprisingly strong wolf and he was able to hold me down. He grabbed my right front limb and he gripped it roughly. I heard a crack noise before the pain hit me and I yelp out before turning into my human skin.

"Aeriela!" Ulric said and I saw in the corner of my eyes him in human form. He started to run over towards me, dodging some of the Russian wolves before one of them finally caught him. Ulric tried to fight him off but the wolf threw him onto the ground and Ulric stared at me with wide concern eyes.

"Enough!" Mat yelled. She turned to face Andrei, "Enough. Look, we don't mean any trouble. We're leaving anyways, so we'll be out of the way. This is between you and them! Not us."

"You are already involved now." he said. He turned, "Want them back? Talk to my Alpha."

"What?" Mat questioned.

Andrei spoke in Russian. The wolf holding me down got up and lifted me up. The wolf holding Ulric did the same. They pushed us towards these big black cars.

"No!" Mat yelled. Andrei turned and pulled a gun from his back out, aiming it at Mat and pulled the trigger.

"Mat!" Both Killian and I yelled. But only killian could run towards her as the wolf holding me dragged me over to the back of the car. Another opened the trunk door and forced only me in, Ulric going in another.
I growled at them, looking around seeing the back of the car was turned into some cage like trap. I turned to look out the window to see Mat holding her hand against her bleeding chest as Tamaz and Killian held her back. I pressed my hand against the window as we both stared at each other.

One of the wolves grabbed my arm and held it out. I turned quickly around growling at them, trying to pull away. Another held up a syringe and stabbed the needle into my arm, forcing something into me.

I pulled away and crawled back into the cage until my back hit the wall cage and I growled, "Bastards!"

"Aeriela!" Ulric yelled from the other car and I turned my head to see him looking at me. This numbness filled my body and my eyelids began to feel heavy. My vision got fuzzy and things turned black I started at him slowly grip of conscious before me.
