Blake POV

After having sex with Tammy, I get out of the bed grabbing my pants. "Don't think this changes anything," I say not looking back at her as I slide my pants on.

"I'm not some whore you can sleep with then treat like shit afterward!" I hear her say from behind me. Suddenly she's on my back bitting into my neck. I roar out in pain as I quickly flip her off my back onto the floor.

"How do you like it when someone bites you without your permission huh!?" She says glaring up at me, as my blood drips from her chin. She reaches up wiping the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand

"What the fuck is your problem!?" I glare at her as she stands to her feet. I reach up touching my neck, leaving the tips of my fingers covered in blood.

"You're my fucking problem! First, you be an ass and blame me for what happened! Then you bite me ruining everything with Andy and me! Now I have these feelings for you that I can't get rid of! What turned you into such an asshole!?" She says continuing to glare at me.

I ignore her as I get dressed. I make my way over to the door, but she steps in front of the door blocking my way. "You're not leaving this room until you tell me what's your problem with me!" She pushes my hand away as I reach for the knob.

I let out a low growl glaring at her. "I don't have a problem! I just don't fucking want you!" I tell her. I don't want her, but I can't stop these feelings that I have for her. And they only seem to grow as the days pass.

"Well, why did you fucking mark me, causing me to have all these emotions towards you! Th-this... this uncontrollable want for you!" She yells glaring at me.

"It was a mistake that I regret! I don't want you!" I tell her. I know what feeling she's talking about. I have this same want for her. Sometimes I want to pin her up against the wall and inhale her sweet scent. I have this urge to rip her clothes off every time I'm in the same room as her.

"That's bullshit and you know it! If you didn't want me, then what just happened a few minutes ago wouldn't have happened! I see the way you watch me when you think I'm not looking! So what's the real reason?!" She lean back against the door blocking the knob, glaring up at me.

I clench my jaws down. "I can't go through that again!"

"Go through what?!" She asks.

I glare at her for a second longer, before letting out a sigh not wanting to fight with her anymore. I let out another sigh as I walk over to the bed taking a seat. "I can't get attached to you. When I watched you die it destroyed me. I can't go through that again." I lean forward a little resting my face in my hands. Memories of that day start to fill my mind. Her body lying in my arms on the ground bloody. I watched helplessly as the life left her body. I just can't go through that again.

I feel her take a seat on the bed next to me. "You're not the only one who went through the pain. After losing you and Timothy I felt like I had nothing to live for, but the twins gave me a reason to want to live. They helped me get through those hard times."

I shake my head looking over at her. "I can't do this. I'm a king and I have a kingdom to uphold. I can't abandon my duty's as king to keep you safe." I don't want her, but at the same time, a part of me does. She's weak and it'll only cause me to abandon my duty's as king because I'll be living in fear that I may lose her again. I'll save myself the trouble by not getting attached emotionally, so if something was to happen to her, I wouldn't feel the pain of emptiness and loneliness of never seeing her again. I may feel the pain of the bond being broken, but that pain will pass. It's the emotional pain that will stay.

A frown appeared on her face. "I don't need you to protect me. I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself."

"Those silver blades may help you win a fight, but no one walks away from a fight unwounded. You're a weak hu-"

"I'm not weak!" She cut me off.

"Fine, you're a fragile human. Your senses aren't sharp. You're not fast enough, and you can't heal. One claws or bites to one of your main arteries and you'll bleed out in seconds. I can't do this again." I tell her. I'm not trying to be an asshole. I'm just being honest.

Her eyes start to water. She lowers her head looking down at her hands on her thighs. I can feel her sadness through the bond. "I knew it was a mistake coming here. Now I'm stuck with these emotions." Her words come out in a whisper as she shakes her head.

I let out a sigh. "I wanted you to stay away. That's why I said those things. I wanted you to hate me so you would stay away." I wanted to stay away from her. I knew that there was a chance this could happen. I thought I would find the alpha king, kill him, then send her on her way. But thing took longer than expected and now I have marked her.

"So you don't think I'm the reason everything thing happened?" She wipes her face as she lifts her head up looking at me.

I let out another sigh, shaking my head a little. "I tried to convince myself that you were the reason everything happened, but deep down I knew it wasn't true." I tried to blame her and the mate bond for making me weak. For making me lose control, falling into a trap. They may have used Tammy as part of their plan, but it wasn't her fault. I'm sure if I didn't have a mate, they would've only found another way to get me inside that silver box.

"I-I've been thinking about this for a few years now. I was going to let BJ do it.....I..I want you to change me into a Lycan...You marked me and now I can't go back to Andy. I doubt if I can look at him in that way now." She says.

"You don't have to give up your humanity for me." I never understood why she chose to hold on to her humanity, but I knew it always meant something to her.

"I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for myself. I'm just tired...Tired of always having to look over my shoulder when I'm out. I'm tired of everyone thinking they need to protect me...I'm tired of everything. Tired of fighting with you every day. I'm tired of having to fight all these feels I now have..I'm just tired." She let out a sigh shaking her head a little.

She has the skills, but not the speed and strength to go with it. This change will give her what she needs to truly be able to protect herself against any threat. "Are you sure this is what you want?" I ask looking at her as she looks down at the floor. She slowly lifts her head up looking at me for a second, then gives me a nod.

I reach over grabbing her wrist. I place my other hand below her elbow. I look at her for a second, giving her a chance to back out. She doesn't say anything as she looks into my eyes waiting. I bring her arm up to my mouth, sinking my elongated teeth into her flesh, causing her to wince in pain. I release my venom into her bloodstream before pull my teeth out her arm.

I walk over grabbing a towel and put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. "When will I change?" She asks watching me as stop the bleeding.

"Tonight, the moon will trigger the change," I tell her.

"Will it hurt?"

"It will be extremely painful, but once the change is triggered your ability to heal will come with it." Her first shift will last for about ten painful minutes, but it may seem longer to her since she's the one who's going through the shift.

I sit here with Tammy listening to her tell me stories from the twin's childhood. I couldn't stop the laughter that escapes my mouth as she tells me a funny story about the twins. I wish I was there to witness these things, but it's nice to hear about the things I have missed.

Once our laughter dies down, things go silent for a few seconds. "Are you really going to kill the alphas and their families?" She asks looking at me.

"Yes." I will make an example out of the alphas and their families. Everyone will think twice about ever going against me again.

"Why? They're innocent people, innocent kids. Blake, you can't kill innocent kids?" She says frowning a little.

"I'm going to take from them what they tried to take from me." My words come out through clenched teeth as I think about what they did. "They didn't care for the innocents, so why should I?" I frown looking over at her. Many innocent people died that day. They were unknowingly used as puns in the alpha's plan.

"You don't have to be the heartless monster that they are. You're not that person, you're better than that." She says.

I frown standing up from the bed, taking a few steps away from her. "I'm not this good person you believe me to be. That's exactly what I am. A heartless monster." I say not looking back at her. Over the years I have killed thousands including innocents when I slaughtered entire packs and never lost a second of sleep over it. She never saw that side of me. I always showed her the good guy side that she brought out of me.

I hear her feet steps as she walk over to me. She steps in front of me, looking up at me. "I've heard the stories from your past Blake." She reaches out grabbing my hands, looking up into my eyes. "You don't have to go back to being that guy. You're not a monster, you have good inside of you. I have seen the good in you."

I look down into her eyes, feeling the mate bond clouding my judgment. Fred always told me that Tammy balanced me out. Maybe he's right. Maybe the goddess sent me her to help bring me back from my dark side, helping me see reason.

I had my mind fixed on killing them all, but suddenly I feel as kill their families isn't the right thing to do. I let out a sigh. "I will let their families go." This is the right thing to do. I reach up placing my hand on the side of her face. "Thank you," I tell her for helping me see reason.

Making my way through the castle, I mindlink BJ telling him I'm releasing his mate family. That seemed to be something he wanted. I head into the prison and start to unlock the cells, opening them. I watch as the alphas oldest sons slowly step out their cells first.

"This will be your only warning. Don't seek out revenge for your fathers or I will finish what I started. Take your families and go." I tell them. I'll be seeing them soon. They are young alphas who will now lead the main fourteen packs. I will have to show them their place the same way I was in the process of doing with their fathers before everything happened.

The mates and daughters of the alphas cry as they look down the hall towards the torture cell. I'm sure they're saying their goodbyes to their alphas through their mind link.

Once they all leave the prison, I look over at the alpha king's mate still locked inside her cell. I'll free her after everything is over. For now, I still need her as bait.

I head into the torture cell where the alphas are. I walk over, turning the furnace on. They watch me knowing what's about to happen. I make my way over to the first alpha. "Thank you for letting my family live." He says look at me. He gives me a small nod accepting his fate. I extend my claws and quickly push my hand into his chest ripping out his heart.

The rest of the day passed by smoothly. Tammy and I haven't fought any. I actually look forward to going to her every couple of hours now. We no longer sit in awkward silence. Now we sit and talk. We laugh as she tells me more stories about the twins. I've missed it so much.

I head to her room opening the door to find her sitting on the bed. "It's time," I tell her. The moon will trigger her shift anytime now.

She gives me a nod, standing up leaving the room with me. "I'm scared, Blake." She says looking up at me as we make our way through the castle.

"It's perfectly normal to be scared for your first shift," I say looking over at her. I can feel that she's scared through the bond. Her heart rate has also picked up a bit.

"Were you scared when you shifted for the first time?" She asked.

"I wasn't scared, just nervous," I tell her as we make our way down the last flight of stairs. I see Tim and the twins standing at the front door waiting for us.

They all walk over giving her a hug, helping her relax a little. "Now you'll get to see what's all the hype is about. You won't miss being a weak human." Tim says laughing a little, earning a glare from Tammy.

We all head into the forest, waiting for her shift to begin. She nervously looks up at the moon over and over. "I think I'm having a panic attack." She looks over at us, taking in slow deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

"You'll be okay mother. It'll be over before you know it." BJ tells her. She gives him a nod as she continues to take in slow deep breaths.

A few seconds later I hear the first bone snap, knocking her down to her hands and knees, screaming in pain. Her clothes start to rip as her bones slowly continue to break, reforming. After about ten minutes she lay there fully shifted.

Her body slowly started to shift back. She lay there passed out, covered in sweat. The bruises on her body from her first shift slowly fades away. I walk over lifting her up from the ground.

She's a Lycan now.
