"Everything ready?" my dad asked.

All of the warriors who will be sent to the volcano were already gathered in the training area. We were dressed as Glacier soldiers and the armors used were from Thomas. I don't know how he got these things but that magical wand was definitely something. The armor was blue colored steel with an engraving of a wolf on the chest plate. My body felt so stiff with this thing on but Kade seemed perfectly fine and comfortable as he nudged my arm with his elbow.

"Hey Alpha, are you excited?" He beamed at me.

I scoffed at him. "What are we, going to a party?"

My beta pouted a bit. "Aw come on, I mean, aren't you excited to see your mate?" he asked.

He looked thrilled. Kade always looked excited even if you were already choking him to death. If NASA suddenly announced that a meteor would be hitting earth in the next one second you'll see Kade with his goofy grin of victory.

"I would be excited if I was not going to a dead volcano filled with fire-breathing werewolves that will roast us and probably make us dinner but since I AM going to a volcano filled with fire-breathing werewolves that will roast us and probably make us dinner; I'm not very excited at the moment. How about you Kade, are you excited?" I asked him.

Do you know the face of a person who is filled with enthusiasm and joy when suddenly you drop him with a great deal of embarrassment or bad news? Kade slowly turned his head away from me as his smile started to get smaller. I didn't mean to kill his good vibes but I just don't want to see him smile at the enemy in front of him while he emitted the warmth and love of a caring grandmother who would offer cookies and milk.

I sighed in annoyance when Kade's bright and flowery aura transformed into an aura that said:

"Join me to the dark side. The end is near; the dark forces will come..." A rookie came rushing towards Kade with the same flowery aura as before only for him to experience Kade's pissed off growl.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!"

The guy looked taken aback. He sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "Oh, uh, I just want to ask if you are excited for our-

"WE ARE NOT GOING TO A PARTY! FUCK OFF!" Kade snarled. I wanted to bang my head at the wall. Well, this was a bit my fault was it?

"Woah man, what's up with the stick up your ass?" the guy asked.

Kade grabbed his own ass and turned around so that his back was facing the guy. "STICK? MY ASS DOESN'T HAVE A STICK! DO YOU WANT TO FEEL IT MOTHERFUCKER?! FEEL-GAAH!"

Kade's outrage was suddenly cut when he was raised by the ground by his mate. Sciath had his usual stoic face as he was holding Kade's shadow. Cerberus snorted.

"Poor kid, he was absorbed by your balls of negativity. Seriously, your nutsack just carried all the negativity in the world. You should masturbate," Cerberus snorted.

"And you carried all the hopes and dreams of every hormonal motherfucker in the world. You should lose your dick," I retorted.

"FYI kid, this dick saved your ass many times that I'm surprised that you're not riding it."

My eyes widened and my face twisted into disgust. WTF was wrong with this wolf?! "That is so freaking disgusting you fucktard! Gah, I fucking hate you."

Cerberus began to laugh at me and I had to shut him off or direct my mind into something else. Okay, Ark's plan, yeah. Yesterday, Ark found a way to communicate with us through the phone (that was my mate right there, I was so proud of him.) He called Sciath and discussed a plan. The plot was to dress as soldiers and get teleported into the Glacier Soldiers' room and take their positions in the marriage. The King and Queen already knew the plan as well as the soldiers who were there. I will be placed at the center line behind Ark. The main venue was where all the guests were located as well as that bastard Drake and my adorable Ark.

"I can't wait to get my paws on Icius!" Cerberus cheered and I agreed with him though the way he worded it seemed too sexual. Damn this horny bastard.

Thomas appeared in front of us all with only the leaf covering up his junk. I can never get used to seeing this. He didn't need to catch our attention since everyone immediately snapped their eyes towards him when he appeared.

You could literally see different expressions: shock, embarrassment, and perverseness (with the nosebleed.) My gaze was just focused on that dang leaf and all its mysteries.

"Are you ready kids?" Thomas shouted. Sciath placed his mate back down on the floor and mouthed "Behave" to my beta. Kade immediately stood straight and I could see him sweating bullets. He then turned his attention to Thomas.

"Aye aye captain!" Kade cheered and I could see Sciath sighing. Ugh, the Spongebob opening song popped inside my mind.

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" Cerberus sang to annoy me.

"Shut the fuck up," I greeted out. Was I the only person serious in this mission?

"I wish you all with luck," Thomas said.

"Thank you Thomas," my dad answered.

He decided that he will come with us and leave the authority to Leon. My mom ran towards us and hugged us both. My little brother Lachiel, avoided us with his gaze but I can see that he wanted to approach us as well.

"Take care both of you, kick those furry asses!" she rooted with a bright warm smile. My mom cupped my cheek. "Bring home our Ark, you can do it," she added.

I never thought I'd say this but her words comforted me. I know I was acting cool in front of Kade but in truth I was anxious. I don't know what will happen later and this was my first time getting into a war.

Thomas directed his gaze to me and smiled. "I hope you get your happily ever after."

I awkwardly nodded at him. He made me feel like I was in a fairy tale or something. "Thanks?"

Sparkles of blue light appeared in Thomas' hand and his magical dildo materialized. He took hold of it and moved his hand backwards and then chanted:

"Bibiddi Babiddi Boo!" and pointed the tip of the dildo to us.

I felt my body being lifted and my eyes were blinded with white light. Wind accumulated my hearing and my body was getting higher and higher, going to a dynamic of circles. I feel like I was going to puke. My heartbeat raced and my hands became sweaty.

The air became colder as it bit the exposed skin of my face. I could only hear the fast passing of my surroundings until things finally materialized in my vision and my feet met with the floor. The wolves that I was with followed and they looked dizzy as I was. We were in a huge chilly room with multiple bunk beds. The lighting was a bit yellowish since torches were the source of light.

Sheesh, can't they pay for an electrical bill or something?

"Hello Sentinel Alpha Pack and hello Sir Sciath," a man's voice sounded. It was a soldier of the Glacier Pack. Sciath pushed me away and greeted the man.

"General is the ceremony about to start?" he asked.

"In half an hour; we must hurry and get you all in your positions. Please grab those spears," he announced.

We each grabbed the spears that were made from pure steel and followed him in a straight line, my stomach doing its twist. I could hear the hustle and bustle in the place. We met with some Fiery soldiers along the way, making most of us tense. My dad placed a hand on my shoulder. He was just walking behind me.

"Relax, panicking will make your moves sloppy," he stated. I nodded and just tried to observe the path we were going through. The ceiling was cave-like while the walls were hardened with white marbles with engravings of werewolves. My eyes twitched when I felt something strange...something wicked. I couldn't sense it with my smell though.

The General continued to lead us out of the hallway and I felt the cold breeze of wind when we got out. There were waterfalls of snow that sandwich the entrance of the narrow pathway leading to the venue of the marriage. The map of this place which Ark sent was so accurate.

There were half circles of other pathways that arched away from the pathway we were standing on. The General assigned us to our spots. I was the nearest to the center pavement. I looked down and regretted it when I saw how high we were from the depth of what seemed to be an endless falling. On the other side from where we stood, the entrance was sandwiched with lava. And here I thought this was an inactive volcano.

I looked around in hopes to see Ark but there was no sign of him or scent.

"We'll see him kid, just you wait and I'll get payback for what the son-of-a-bitch did to you," Cerberus stated. I could sense anger in his voice. I guess he was starting to get pumped up.

"I can't wait to get laid!" he childishly cheered.

"I was supposed to praise you," I sighed.

Violins began to play from the center. I clenched my fist in anger and stood straight. Ark and Drake both made an entrance with both of their parents tailing behind them and there was also a guy with the same body build as Ark following after Ark's parents. He was wearing a mask and it seemed that he was having a hard time walking. He was a bit tipsy.

Pure anger burst inside of me when I saw the smug smirk of Drake. I saw Ark's nose twitch when he passed by me. He was wearing the same clothing he wore when he married me. His gaze slightly went to me and I saw a small smile of relief on his lips. I wanted to embrace him and savor his scent...The scent that we both shared.

God I missed him...

The anxiety I was feeling later for something unknown grew. I observed the guests who were sitting on the chairs. Most of them were women. They looked normal but why...do I feel something different about them?

Whatever...

I was going to kill Drake and I will take Ark away from here...

An Alpha started to say the words that were for the marriage.

"Let us now start this holy ceremony where the goddess will be with us throughout the merging of these two wolves. Now then, you two must know that since this is a ceremony where you swear your oaths upon the goddess, you two cannot be separated, you will support each other in times of rise and in times of downfall. You will both anchor each other in times of storms and you will never let the stake of your claims to one another to be tainted by others for the goddess' wrath will fall upon you and your cheating soul. Do you, Prince Drake, swear to remain loyal to your husband whatever temptation that comes upon your life? Do you promise to love him with all your soul, with all your heart and together with your spirit wolf?"

Drake held Ark's hands and kissed them. My wolf was starting to go in a rampage and I was struggling to keep sane. I wanted to bite off his hands and crush him the way he crushed me.

"Yes Sir," he stated proudly.

The Alpha asked the same words to Ark and everyone waited for his answer most eagerly. This was the marriage of the lifetime and even the media was there taking pictures and videos for the news. What was Ark going to answer? Was he going to say yes? The plan wasn't explained further by Sciath. He just told us to stand here.

When were we going to attack?

How were we going to attack?

I was holding my breath until my mate spoke in such a strong voice that was heard by everyone.

"I am sorry Alpha but...I already swore an oath to the Goddess. I was already anchored to my true mate and I will not let anyone taint the claim of my mate on me. I already love someone with all my soul, with all my heart and together with my spirit wolf and that is why...Azure," my mate stated the name of his dog and pointed at Drake. There was a change in the wind and I could see the shock in everyone's faces as well as Drake's. Chills run down to my spine from my mate's honest confession.

I just fucking love him...

"Epíthesi!" my mate declared. Uhm, Ark, English please? Cerberus snorted.

"He said attack you idiot, but that is not a signal for us..."

My eyes widened when the masked guy from before removed his mask. His face was the same with Ark and both of his eyes were different in color. Sharp fangs grew and overlapped his lips. His jaws elongated much like a werewolves' but bigger, his body shaped into a huge wolf-like creature but with sharp spikes growing from the top of its head down to its fury tail.

This was...Azure?

How the fuck did Drake managed to tame that thing until Ark arrived?

"Witch magic..." Sciath said. Great now Sciath can read minds. He was now in front of me, observing the show with a smirk. "Drake must have manipulated Azure with the help of witches although no one really knew that Azure could transform into something like this. Azure was a half husky and a half dragon. He was born in a laboratory and was the guard dog of Prince Alaster."

I looked at Ark with wide eyes. That thing can rip me to shreds. Azure was fucking huge. He was at least 12 feet tall. His sharp teeth were dripping with saliva as he glared at Drake with much hatred. His long and spiky tail was wagging side to side.

"Hohooo vengeance boy, that pup got the grudge in him!" Cerberus howled.

"You are a fool Alaster!" Drake growled.

"I will be more of a fool if I marry you when I'm already married!" my mate retorted.

Azure growled loud, causing a tremor inside of the volcano. Witches' laughs filled the place, most of the women in the audience started to float. The fair skin they had a while ago peeled off and were now a foul green. Azure jumped over Drake and the man did continuous backflips. Soldiers of each Kingdom were now preparing for battle. The original Glacier soldiers jumped out of the snowy waterfalls and joined.

"What is the meaning of this?" the king of the Fiery pack questioned.

"War!" the King of the Glacier pack roared.

I could hear Kade snicker. "Duh."

I ran to my mate's side and Ark welcomed me in his arms. I kissed his forehead and then his nose and just caged him beside me. "Ark, I'm glad you're safe," I said breathlessly, relief pouring in.

"Luka...I missed you," he murmured. Even if the people around us were in rampage, Ark's eyes were still calm, especially the blue one. It looked like the calm ocean.

I cupped Ark's face and looked at his beautiful red and blue eyes. "Let's end this."

Ark smiled. "For our pups..."

Soldiers of each kingdom charged and clashed. Soldier versus Soldier, Queen versus Queen, King versus King and now us versus Drake who was now preoccupied with the ice breathing mutant guard dog.

"Are you ready Berber?" I asked my wolf.

"Are you kidding me? I'm already prepped and wet."

I ignored Cerberus' joke and intertwined my hands with Ark's. The clashing of spears and the execution of different abilities by different wolves caused my adrenaline to rush. This was it...I'll prove to Drake that I was a worthy mate. I'll prove to Drake that I deserved Ark! I will break every bone in his body along with his will.

It was fucking payback!

"Drake!" I roared. Anger pulsated in every vein in my body.

"You used to call me on my cell phone..." my wolf sang. FUCK I HATE THAT SONG.

"Cerberus!"
