We all rushed out of the restaurant as quickly as possible and I noticed the entire restaurant being evacuated as everyone piled out of the building towards the front.

"What's happening? Why is everyone leaving?" I asked as I walked over to Issac who looked extremely nervous.

"This only happens on rare occasions, our Alpha is normally so calm and collective it's actually scary but this? When she gets angry, her anger is on another level and she has killed innocent bystanders because of it," Issac explained.

There were thunderous noises coming from inside of the building as shouts of anger began to fill the night sky. Crashes and booms echoed inside of the building and I began to worry for her safety.

I was an idiot. This was all because of me.

People began to hop into their cars and drive off as the noises got loud and walls began breaking down. She was taking her anger out on the building.

"Are you happy with yourself?" I looked over to see Issac glaring at me with pure hate in his eyes.

"Fuck you, this has nothing to do with you," I rolled my eyes but kept them fixated on the slowly crumbling building.

"This has everything to do with me, I devoted my life to my Alpha so she is my everything, you decide to show up and ruin things with your selfish ways," He walked over to me but Marco stopped him in his tracks.

"Don't you dare touch the Alpha," Marco warned.

There was a deafening howl that filled the air as I clutched my ears and bent low to the ground. It was a howl of anger and betrayal and it spoke volumes in that howl. The ground began to shake and I looked up to see the entire building crumbling to the ground as an enormous wolf emerged from the rubble.

It was like a dog from Hell.

It had to be taller and bigger than even my wolf, golden eyes pierced the night as they seemed to glow with rage. It was a midnight black wolf, normally black wolves had hints of brown but this wolf was pure black, its ears pointed straight up and its canines looked long sharp and venomous. What scared me the most was that whenever the wolf breathed out, it almost looked as though it was breathing fire. It gave me one good look in my eyes before turning and running straight into the forest. I could have done what she asked of me, I could have just left the pack immediately and never look back. But I couldn't leave her no matter of furious she was. This was all my doing and I had to fix this.

I was her mate after all.

I took off running right after her as I heard the cries of Marco and the others calling for me but I chose to ignore them and I continued running after Isis.

Damn she was fast.

Leaves and branches smacked into my face leaving small scratches and scars on my face but I didn't care, I had to focus on the goal ahead of me, I had to focus on reaching Isis and comforting her and apologizing. Maybe I would leave Adrianna tonight and take Taylor with me, maybe Isis doesn't want Taylor around, I know my wolf would hate the idea of our mate having a child with another wolf.

I stopped in my tracks to see the pack lake in front of me but Isis no where to be found, not a second later I was tackled by something enormous and was slammed to the ground, my head smacking hard against the dirt. I looked up to see Isis's wolf standing over me, foaming at the mouth, eyes still glowing bright gold. We looked into each other's eyes for a moment and I knew she wanted to kill me right there and then. Just then it felt as thought something tugged on my heart and it skipped a painful beat as I looked at her. She stopped growling and her wolf made an annoying huffing noise as she stepped away from me.

Did she feel it too? What did it mean?

I sat up from the ground and rubbed the back on my head in pain and looked around to see Isis emerging from behind a tree, clothed in a long tee shirt, shifted back to her human self. Her pupils still had a slight tint of gold to them but otherwise she was back to normal. I smiled and attempted to stand up but she slammed her foot hard against my chest, knocking me back down.

"If I could I would fucking kill you right now for wasting my precious time," She snapped at me as she stood over me.

"You wouldn't kill your mate," I said quietly.

"I would've in a heart beat if we hadn't already mated, whether I like it or not we are connected because even though we did not mark each other, we still had sex and we are connected in some small way, but it's enough so now if one of us dies, there is a possibility the other will end up dying," She explained angrily as she walked away from me and angrily pulled on her curls.

"Isis...I-I'm sorry," I said with my head hung low.

"Is that supposed to be comforting just because it's coming from you? Do you want me to break down into tears in your arms as you comfort me and tell me how everything was a mistake and you only love me?" She asked bewitched.

Damn...yes.

"You wolves are so pathetic," She rolled her eyes and turned her back to me to look at the black lake front.

"I really am sorry, I just couldn't wait for you any longer, I needed a Luna by my side, I needed someone with me even if it wasn't my mate," I explained.

"I don't give a fuck about your pathetic story, you don't understand how much control you have taken out of my hands, my life is in your hands and vice versa, the last time my life has been in someone else's hands was when I was with my father, I promised myself that would be the last time and you come into my life, if I would have known you already claimed someone as yours then you would already be dead and your pack would already be in my control," She sat down at the edge of the lake bank and looked up at the stars.

I would be in denial if I didn't say what she said hurt me, but she has to understand that I was desperate. An Alpha without a Luna by his side is looked down on and a target.

"Would you have really killed me?" I asked as I sat down next to her hesitantly.

"With no hesitation," She said without looking at me.

Damn.

"I don't understand what you mean when you say we are connected, I thought mates only became one when they marked each other?" I asked.

"And you call yourself a pure blood Alpha but you don't know your own history? What a waste," She waved me away and continued looking up at the sky.

We sat in silence for a moment before she finally let out a sigh of annoyance and looked over at me.

"Werewolves are born with one soul split in half, your human soul and your wolf soul where you both just share the same vessel, which is how your wolf can speak to you in your mind, you feel their emotions and they can have an entirely different personality from you but usually their isn't much difference. The human soul is strong enough to survive with half of itself but the wolf soul is not, if it never comes in contact with the other half then it will be able to survive with no problem, not as strong as it could be but it will survive. But once they sense their other half, they become persistent and relentless," She explained.

"Alright so what does that have to do with us?" I questioned.

"Sex is mean to be a binding thing, something sacred. They say once you share experience with your mate, your souls become intertwined, waiting to be marked to become one. During this phase of our relationship if one of us were to die, our wolf spirit would die along with us and not many wolves have survived long without their soul. That's why most Alphas or Luna's die off after their mate has died," She continued explaining.

So she just doesn't want to die.

She tangled her fingers through curly hair and sighed in frustration. She stood up and the next thing I knew, I felt her foot connect with my cheek as I landed hard on the ground again. My wolf tolerated it the first time because I deserved it, but now he was getting annoyed.

"Hit me one more time and I'll make it your last time," I growled as I flipped over on all fours and looked up at her to see her back was facing me.

"You've made everything so much more complicated for both you and me, I'll have to tweak my plan and you won't like it at all," She looked over her shoulder to look down at me and smirk.

"What fucking plan do you keep talking about?" I spat at the ground.

I finally stood up and she walked over to me and gently placed her hand on my face.

"Despite your idiocy, you're still mine and nothing will change that, not another Luna and damn sure not some child. You belong to me and only me," She said a little too calmly.

"I only belong to you," I said.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your voice... I want you to know that my next plan of action is all your fault," She removed her hand from my face and turned away from me to walk away towards the forest.

I want you to know that my next plan of action is all your fault

But what did that me? What was she going to do?

The coldness in her tone told me that I wasn't going to be happy with what she had planned next. We have to get out of here and hurry back to Adrianna and Taylor before something happened to them.

I dashed throughout the forest until I came back to the clearing of the now crumbled restaurant where Marco, Evan and Lane stood wide eyed as I approached.

"Alpha are you alright? The other Alpha walked by us and didn't say anything so we got worried when you weren't by her side," Marco asked.

"Listen, we are leaving right now. No one is allowed to speak about what happened within this pack, if I find out that you even told someone about Alpha Isis Talia than it will be instant death," I warned.

I watched as they all nodded in horror at my sudden tone.

No one can find out about the monster that lies within this pack yet.

I want you to know that my next plan of action is all your fault

We all quickly headed back to the pack house to quickly pack up our things, as I approached my room I noticed the had been knocked off the hinges and was now flat on the ground. I looked inside to see all of my things thrown into my suitcase messily.

Did she have someone pack for me?

I approached my suitcase and immediately her scent began to fill my nose as it wrapped around my head, nearly making me dizzy.

She was trying to mark what was hers without actually marking me.

I sighed and zipped up the suitcase and shook my head.

Half breed wolves were a bit more complicated, especially if the other half is human. Adrianna was raised with humans so she knows very little about herself and her own wolf, she suppressed it for so long that now her senses were almost that of a normal human, she couldn't feel the same things as us, her smell was no where near as keen as ours and that was exactly why I picked her to be mine, someone to easy who wouldn't ask much questions.

"So she's a dirty human half breed?" I heard her voice come from the doorway. My head whipped around to see her smirking at me with her hands crossed over her chest.

How the hell did she find that out in such little time?

"To think that my mate, my other half decided to settle for a dirty little human half breed. That's disgusting," She spat at me.

Her hair was back up in a tight bun and she had on a royal purple satin dress while she walked around barefoot.

"How did you figure that out?" I questioned, trying not to show any concern on my face.

"I want you to know that I will always be ahead of you, what you may think I'm doing I'm actually not, I'm actually thinking in a completely different way. Think of me as 3 steps ahead of you always," She said as she looked at me with her black eyes, the gold tint was no longer there.

"What does that even mean?" I asked, backing away from her as she continued to walk towards me.

"The scent is all over your belongings in your suitcase, an Alpha like you would assume that I'm just trying to let others know that you are mine without actually marking you because due to your...weakness, you decided to mark someone else," My back hit the wall and and she was now right in front of me.

"Your reaction was all I needed to learn what type of wolf your Luna was, if she were a a purebred then you would have panicked more, if she were of Alpha descent, you were have reacted days ago when I left my scent all over you. You are entirely too calm so that leads me to believe your Luna is a dirty human half breed and by the looks of it, she's a weak one and she'll be easy to take out," She grazed her nails along my chest as I shuddered.

I grabbed her hand and ripped it away from me.

"You won't lay a finger on Adrianna or my daughter," I growled at her.

"Remember that you belong to me Kaiden, one way or another I will make you mine whether you like it or not," Her pupils lightly gleamed gold as she grabbed my jaw and forced me closer to her.

"You don't know what you've just unleashed," She smirked at me and pushed my face away. She turned away from me and walked out of the room, leaving me alone.

The coldness of her tone was intimidating and it warned me that I might have just unleashed hell on me and my family.

I quickly packed up all my things and dragged my suitcase outside to where everyone else was waiting for me.

"Alpha, you reek of her. Do you really want to go back to the pack smelling like that?" Marco questioned me.

"Get in the car Marco, I'll deal with this myself," I demanded.

He bowed his head and quickly scurried to the other car as Lane lifted my suitcase into the trunk. The moment he closed it I punched him in his side hard but not too hard. He collapsed against the car and looked at me with fear in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Alpha, the Luna sounded very concerned and she said it was an important matter," Lane quickly apologized as he got back up.

"Get in the car," I rolled my eyes and walked around to get into the car. I huffed as I sat down in the back seat and rubbed my hands over my face.

I couldn't deny that it was mostly my fault for all of this, for tricking Adrianna into thinking she was my mate, having a child with her and thinking I could hide it from my true mate. I couldn't deny that beneath that beautiful and seductive facade was a beast underneath both conniving and dangerous. She said she was 3 steps ahead of me. But what did that mean? What was she going to do? The first thought that comes to mind is that she'll kill Adrianna and Taylor but that was too simple for her. I looked out of the windows and watched as we zipped past the street lights outside as we slowly exited the Supreme Blood Deity pack.

I needed to learn more about her, I couldn't let her have the upper hand on this situation, I needed to know her past and I definitely needed to know what she was thinking so I could plot on her next move. I was the one who was used to being in charge and now it feels like I'm a teenage boy, unsure of anything that I'm doing.

I want you to know that my next plan of action is all your fault

"She said her father was the werewolf, if I can find out who her father was exactly, then maybe I can find out more about her," I said to myself.

A part of me wanted to take my control back in this situation but another part of me just wanted to know more about her because let's face it, I was drawn to her like a fly drawn to honey. I knew she was dangerous, something inside me told me that this plan of hers wasn't a peaceful plan but I was still drawn to her. I wanted to be next to her, to touch her and never let go. But just like a fly in honey, I would get trapped and she would become my downfall. I couldn't let that happen.

I could still smell her all over my clothes and it was quite calming, to the point where I began feeling drowsy and sleep took over me.

'Was I everything you dreamed of?' I felt her long nails drag down my bare spine causing me to shiver in delight.

'Everything and more,' I said as I closed my eyes.

'So why is it that you chose that filthy half breed over me?' She said as she walked around so now she was right in front of me in nothing but her panties, showing off her glistening soft skin, smirking at me.

'Aren't I better than her in ways you couldn't even dream of?" Her hands snaked down my torso until she stopped at the waist line of my pants.

'Are you making this a competition because you're jealous?' I questioned.

Her laughed echoed in the darkness as she pressed her forehead against my chest, her shoulders moving up and down from her uncontrollable laughter.

'How could I be in competition with someone who isn't even in the same league as me? That's like asking a beautiful butterfly why it's jealous of a cockroach,' She smirked at me as her hands began to move to unbutton my pants.

I grabbed her hand and pushed her away from me.

'I don't want to do this right now, this isn't the time,' I argued.

She looked at me with an emotionless expression on her face and backed away from me.

'The more you push me away, the harder this will be for you and more you satisfy my sadistic ways,' She stepped back into the darkness leaving me all alone.

I opened my eyes and looked out of the window to see the sun positioned to the west, signaling the afternoon. I didn't realize how tired I was until I actually closed my eyes. I watched as we approached the Dark Moon pack house and I let out a sigh of relief. It looks as though everything appeared normal.

"Lane we got here incredibly fast," I said as we both exited the car.

"After the situation yesterday I figured you wanted to get home as soon as possible," He bowed his head.

I walked towards him and grabbed his shirt so that I was close to his ear.

"Remember, never speak of what happened with anyone or I'll be making you wish for death itself," I whispered into his ear so that only he had heard. I let go of his shirt and he quickly nodded his head before going to grab the bags out of the car.

I looked over and noticed Nicholas rushing out of the pack house with a big grin on his face. He bowed his head as he approached me and then came in for a hug.

"I wasn't expecting you for at least another day and a half Alpha, is everything alright?" I watched as he sniffed the air and looked at me in confusion.

Shit. Her smell was still mixed in with mine.

"Not now Nicholas, I'll explain everything later," I shook him off as I grabbed my bag from Lane and sighed heavily.

I was in desperate need for a shower to masque her scent so I wouldn't get questioned by anyone else.

"Anything out of the ordinary while I was gone?" I questioned Nicholas.

I felt a sharp pain beginning to form in my stomach but I chose to ignore it, might have been something I ate.

"No Alpha sir nothing out of the ordinary, you do have a couple things we need to discuss and deal with but I let you settle back in and see your family first," Nicholas smiled at me.

I nodded my head and began making my way back to my home.

It was just as I thought, if Isis wanted to kill them immediately then she would have already done so, but her mind was on something completely different.

The sharp pain was now becoming more noticeable and a heat began to spread throughout my body, causing me to feel dizzy.

"What the hell is happening to me?" I asked myself as I shook my head. I walked up to the front of my home and unlocked it and noticed no one was home.

Adrianna and Taylor must be out for the day, perfect. I carried my stuff up to the bedroom and threw them into my closet. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door before running cold water to cool my body down. I undressed myself and hopped into the shower as the nearly ice cold water ran down my back but still didn't calm down this heat forming in my body. the sharp pain began to spread all throughout my abdomen and now my lower back, nearly unbearable.

"FUCK!" I shouted as I crouched down in the shower, holding my stomach in pain.

What did she do to me? She couldn't kill me because that wouldn't herself possibly dying. I couldn't be sick, it's hard for an Alpha to become sick due to our strong immune systems. I turned the shower off and slowly got out, wrapping a towel around me. I looked into the mirror. My hair was plastered to my forehead and darks circled were slightly formed under my eyes even though I slept for majority of the car ride here. I walked out of the bathroom and threw shorts on before getting into bed, due to the fact that this pain was making it hard for me to even stand upright.

I heard the front door open and close ad I groaned.

Not right now, please not right now.

"Kaiden?" I heard Adrianna's voice call out to me.

"Daddy!" I heard Taylor squeal as her little footsteps pattered up the steps, stomping down the hall until she appeared in front of my doorway.

"Daddy you're home!" She squealed as she ran up and jumped on me on the bed I closed my eyes and endured the pain as I wrapped my arms around her and smiled.

"Hello puppy, did you miss me?" I asked.

"So so much!" Taylor grinned at me.

"Taylor don't jump on Daddy, he must be super tired from his trip," Adrianna appeared in the doorway and smiled at me.

Tired was an understatement.

I looked at Adrianna's face and I frowned. I was afraid that this would happen, she is no longer appealing to me, I noticed my mark laid in the sweet spot right between her shoulder and her neck and I felt ashamed of it. That didn't belong to her and yet there it was. All because years ago my parents drilled into my brain that in order to be a successful Alpha I had to have a mate by my side. I let them fill my head with misinformation and I let them hatch this cunning plan to take this poor half breed girl who was raised by humans until her bastard father decided to steal her away. I used her because of her naive ways to the lives of us wolves and I took advantage of her weakened wolf spirit, all because my parents told me I would fail as an Alpha because I never found my mate at the right time. Now I was stuck, my parents were now dead and I had no one to turn to in this situation.

After physically being with Alpha Isis, I was no longer attracted to Adrianna. She couldn't provide for me what Isis could.

Power.

Strength.

Sexual drive and desire.

But that all came with a cost, Isis was dangerous and I couldn't deny it any longer. She was TOO dangerous.

"Kaiden are you alright?" I looked over to see Adrianna approaching the bed with a concerned look on her face.

"Just feeling a little sick from the ride that's all," I smiled wearily as the pain in my abdomen increases significantly. It was like someone instantaneously set my entire body ablaze. I sucked my teeth in pain and Adrianna immediately removed Taylor from the bed. I clutched my body in pain as tears began to roll down my face, the pain being beyond anything I've ever experienced.

What was the cause of it?

"Kaiden you don't look so good, I'm going to go get the healer for you!" Adrianna said as she dashed out of the room with Taylor in her arms.

Was this my punishment for what I've done? Was this her way of getting back at me? What exactly did she do to me that has brought me to tears. I laid in bed as tears continued to stream down my face but all I could think about was my mate. She did say she could have killed me without hesitation but now she couldn't because we were connected. So why did this pain make me feel like I was going to die?

"Kaiden I have the healer here with me, I took Taylor to your sister's house so she wouldn't see you like this," I heard Adrianna say as footsteps approached my bed side. I didn't even realize I said my eyes closed.

I felt cold hands reach out to touch me and immediately retracted back.

"Alpha your body is hot to the touch, you've gone pale. Tell me what you are feeling," I heard the deep and gravelly voice of my pack healer.

"It feels like my body is on fire, there's sharp pains in my lower abdomen that make it feel like someone is stabbing into and there is also a deep pressure I can't describe," I explained out of breath.

I heard a light hmmm of her voice as I felt her cold hands continue to feel all around my body, poking and kneading. I listened as she mumbled words under her breath that didn't make much sense.

"Luna, I need to be alone with the Alpha for a moment," The healer said.

I light footsteps of Adrianna receded out of the room and closed the door quietly behind her.

A sigh escaped the lips of the healer as I felt her mouth close to my ear.

"The Luna is not your true mate is she?" She asked.

My eyes immediately shot open and I sat up from the bed as my hands wrapped around her wrinkled neck. I examined her face closely as I tightened my grip against her. She was a much much older wolf, she's been in this pack for years, catering to my great grandfather and so forth. She had long white hair, down to knees, her face was slightly sunken from age along with wrinkles around her mouth and eyes. her eyes were a dark brown as they scrunched up from the pain of me choking her. She had many scars on her face from unknown circumstances. Healers were always the most mysterious of the pack.

"Tell a soul and I will make sure to snap your neck clean," I growled in her face.

"I wo-would rather d-d-die than to b-betray the Cadieux family," She sputtered out under my grip.

I released her and she fell to the ground, gasping for air as if it would be her last breath.

I laid back down in pain as the endless pain continued to ravage my body.

"I have known for a while that the Luna was not your true mate, but I swore never to say anything to anyone until now. It seems you have found your mate," She explained as she stood by my bed side.

"How did you know she wasn't my mate?" I questioned.

"Not many can tell but of course a healer like me can, after you marked her she grew deathly ill, on the verge of dying. Once a mate is marked they feel a rush of power from each other as their soul intertwine and become one. Yours was forced and it's a miracle that she actually survived, you can tell by the mark on her neck that it was a forced marking that only healers can see," She explained.

"How is this relevant to my pain?" I groaned in frustration.

"It is from your true mate, even slightly connected to each other, mates begin to feel certain things through their small connection, in order for wolves to understand the bond between each other, the moon goddess placed a curse upon us so that we may only belong to our mates and no one else," She told hesitantly.

I didn't like where this was going.

"To cut to the chase it seems as though your true mate is...fornicating with someone who isn't you," She quickly said as she backed away from me and looked down at the ground.

...

"Get out," I seethed through my teeth.

"I will come back with a tonic that will help dull the pain Alpha," She quickly said as she scurried out of the room.

I got out of bed and walked over to the mirror, all I saw was red, there was red surrounding me and all I wanted was blood. I slammed my fist into the mirror completely shattering it. I roared as the room slightly shook from my rage. How dare she do this to me, she knew what she was doing, she just wanted me to feel pain. I walked around the room, knocking things off of the dressers, ramming my fists through the walls. My wolf was furious, he wanted blood, he wanted the head of whoever thought they were worthy of fucking my mate. No one except me was worthy of that.

"Kaiden please, what's happening?" I looked over to see Adrianna standing in the doorway with in her eyes as she looked at me with surprise written all over her face. I studied her face and laughed.

If I weren't in the circumstances I were in right now, I wouldn't have even given Adrianna a second glance, I was so disinterested in her it was hilarious in such a sad way. Dragging this girl into my mess, now her life was possibly in danger because of me. I did love Adrianna but not in the way I should. I loved her because she's been by my side all of these years, I loved her because she was the mother of my only child, I loved her because she was a companion. But I could never love her like you love a mate. She would never understand that.

I continued laughing as I collapsed onto the floor in a mess, my knuckles were bleeding badly from my tantrum but for some reason the pain stopped and in the back of my head I felt a sense of satisfaction but only it didn't feel like my own satisfaction.

...so she was satisfied by my pain now was she?

She was sick.

But she was mine.

"Whatever you are going through I don't want you to go through it alone, we are a team and I'm here for you," I felt her gentle hands caress my arm and she sat down next to me on the floor and grabbed my head to lean it against her chest, it was a gentle gesture she always did to try and comfort me.

I took a deep breath and sighed.

"The Alpha of the Supreme Blood Deity...is not a good person,"
