"Inject her with the wolfsbane,"

"She's alive right?"

"Of course I couldn't kill her, I mean she is my daughter in law after all,"

"Cole will be very pleased with you."

I woke up in darkness. I looked around wildly for some sort of light. I saw none so I did the only thing I could think of.

I screamed. I screamed for someone to let me out or for someone to show me the light.

I heard a door open so I looked up. There was a man holding a lamp grinning at me. The same man who holds my mother's scar, the same one who killed my parents and the same one who captured my sister.

I tried to get up but I was held down by chains.

"Ah good you're awake," He smiled.

I just glared at him, if looks could kill then all my problems would be solved.

"Oh Iris my dear, how have you been? It's been so long," He looked at me with such a loving look it was almost sickening.

"Where is my sister?" I spat.

"Now now Iris that isn't nice, I'm already being nice to you by letting you keep your pups, we wouldn't want something to happen to them now would we?" He pulled out a silver dagger from behind his back and smiled.

I froze in horror, he wouldn't dare hurt my children.

"Now I know it's been 2 weeks but that doesn't mean act nasty towards me,"

I looked at him with horror, unable to comprehend correctly what he was saying.

"I've been out for two weeks?!" I shouted.

He nodded. "Yes, wolfsbane does amazing things to our bodies,".

I whimpered at the sound of my heart breaking, I've been away from Damien for almost two weeks, two weeks of stress and worrying for him, worried I could be dead or his pups could be dead.

"Now now dear don't whine, I am the only mate you will ever need, after I kill yours you will need a new one and I will be there to happily take over," Cole gestured to himself.

"WHAT?!" I roared.

"Surely you heard the prophecy? The controller must die, your other half and of course your mate is your other half, the one who calms you and understands you," He said as if I were slow.

Furious doesn't begin to explain how angry I was. No one goes after my mate, I couldn't allow for him to take me away from another family of mine. I couldn't do anything to stop him the first time but I refuse to be on standby as he attempts to take away my second family.

Y'es let your anger rise,'

I felt surge of anger flow through my body. There was a slight burning sensation in my back as I turned to see a glowing light under my clothes from the mysterious symbols on my back. I felt the darkness begin to push me aside, taking over my entire body.

I strained against the silver chains which were no longer affecting me, I didn't feel the burning sensation against my skin anymore. One broke off my wrist and next thing I knew Cole plunged the knife into my right bicep and I screamed out in pain. This was pain beyond pain. Something I've never experienced before in my entire life.

Silver never gave me this kind of pain, this was something entirely different.

He pulled it as I felt warm blood oozing out of my arm.

"Rare celestial silver," He said with grin, now examining the bloody knife.

"This stuff is stupid rare and extremely hard to get your hands on but worth it." He said.

"Cole you said you wouldn't hurt her, you just wanted her true form," I heard a familiar voice.

"Curtis I said I wouldn't hurt her if she cooperated,".

My head jerked up at the sound of his name.

"YOU TRAITOR!!!" I roared at the top of my lungs.

How could my own father in law kidnap me and send me to this monster.

"Iris it's not what you think-"

"You betrayed me, your son and your whole pack!" I cried out.

"I'm trying to help my pack damn it and you're gonna help me!" He yelled.

I screamed and cried at the same time. I didn't want to be here, I wanted to be with Damien, happy and pregnant in our very own home.

"Iris don't cry, all the pain will be over soon I promise," Cole grinned.

"Boys come and get her." Was all I heard before I felt the chains lift off the floor and I was dragged by my hair out the room.

I clawed at the huge hand holding my hair and I screamed for him to let off of me. I was pulled up some stairs and into a bedroom room where they threw me in and I noticed a small girl in the corner, she reminded me of Danielle.

"Luna you are to wear this dress for your ritual," The blonde haired girl said quietly.

"And what if I don't?" I said coldly. The moment I said that the girl looked as if she would burst into tears.

"Alright I'll put it on." I sighed, it wasn't her fault that I was here. She was probably forced into. this role like how I am so there was no need to take my anger out on her. I walked over to the girl and took the dress, I watched as she turned around to give me a little privacy.

It was a white, strapless dress, pretty simple. I was told I wasn't allowed to wear any shoes and I sat there quietly in the chair as the young girl began brushing my hair.

I rubbed my stomach, trying to signal to my pups that everything would be alright and that I would keep them safe no matter what.

"My, don't you look beautiful," I turned around to see Cole standing there in khakis and a white button down shirt.

"The blood moon will soon rise tonight, which will start our ritual tonight and make you mine finally," He grabbed my arm and yanked me out the room. I noticed he still had the dagger in his pocket, still coated in my blood.

He pulled me down a hallway and out of a house. Next thing I knew we were outside and I couldn't believe where we were. We were in the Moonshine territory.

"Ah, yes don't you remember this place? It's your old pack. And right there is where I killed your parents. If Lucie hadn't betrayed me and decided to run off with that fucking Alpha then this would have gone a lot smoother," He pointed to the spot in the middle where flowers began growing.

"My sweet Lucie was the love of my life. We wanted to run off together and be free until that Alpha took her from me, now I have you and no one will stop that," He said as he tried to kiss my forehead.

I tried to move away as far as possible but with a swift move he grabbed the dagger and held it to my neck. It was like someone was holding a flame to my neck, all the heat burning my neck.

"Don't fight this Iris, just let it happen!" He yelled.

He put the dagger back in his pocket and we continued to walk.

I saw a building lit up as I could hear distant people laughing and talking. I realized that this was the ballroom.

"Ah Cole so you have found the Luna? Excellent, we are so excited for the ritual," A man dressed up in a fine tuxedo said at the front door.

I looked at him in horror. Why would these people come here to watch some kind of ritual and why did they keep calling me Luna?

"Come now Iris we don't want you being late for your big night." Cole said with a tug.

This man was insane, everyone here was insane and sick, watching my torture and captivity like it were some performative act.

We walked in and it was beautiful. Beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Tables aligned together, fancy edible sat the tables. In front of them all was a giant table with silver chains on it, it looked like a torture table. I began to try and pull myself away from Cole. I knew I was meant to be up there but I didn't want to be there.

'Don't fight this, let us be free,'

"Come on now Iris, ripping those pups right out of you sounds real tempting right now since you don't want to cooperate!" Cole said angrily.

I whimpered and nodded my head. I don't want to put my unborn pups in harms way.

We made our way up to the front where I was forced to lay on the table. Guards came over and chained my legs and arms up. I cried out in pain  at the touch of the silver burning my flesh.

Before I knew it the table was being turned so I was facing up and out to the crowd and they began to applaud. Somehow Cole brainwashed these people into thinking this was some sacred ritual, they were all here to witness my torture.

"Please bring out the guests of honor!" Cole said excitedly. At once people left a huge empty circle in the middle of the room. Guards began to pull out two people and threw them in the middle of the floor. Once they looked up at me I screamed.

"LILLIAN!!! DAMIEN!!" I tried to wiggle myself out of the chains but it was no use, I was trapped.

"Let her go!" Damien roared.

"Iris I'm sorry!" Lillian said. She looked horrible, she was dressed in rags, her hair was a mess and she had cuts, gashes and burns all over her face and body from her constant torture.

I felt anger surging through my veins. All these people were sick and I wanted them all to feel the pain that I felt right now.

"Damien I'm sorry! Cole this wasn't part of the plan!" Curtis yelled. He ran towards Damien.

A shot was fired from a gun and he was stopped in his tracks. He looked down at his chest as blood began to spread throughout this shirt and he fell to the floor. Damien began screaming and crying as he watched his father's life slip before his eyes and the crowd gasped.

We all turned to see Cole holding a gun with silver bullets, looking furious.

"I have waited too long for this moment! No one will stop me from getting the power I want and deserve!" He screamed into the crowd.

I cried at the sight of my sister and mate being forced to bow before me. All of a sudden we all heard a howl from the far distance as the room got quiet. Blood red light began to leak through the windows of the ballroom. Everything it touched turned bright red.

Cole approached me with the dagger in his hand and a huge smile plastered across his face.

"Iris my dear it is time," He grinned.

He began to plunge the celestial silver dagger into my arm as I screamed out for mercy. If seemed as if he was carving something into my arm. I couldn't bear the pain I began to shift in and out of consciousness.

Finally the pain was lifted and I looked over.

The word 'Rogue' was on my left arm and the word 'Luna' was on my right arm.

I looked down and noticed 'Tenebrosi' was on my left leg and 'Luna' on my right. Blood leaked out of my wounds as the blood moon's light shined on me.

"Oh great and powerful Moon Goddess, your request is almost complete. The world will finally have its savior and you will no longer need to look over us wild and sinful wolves. May the world finally find order under this young woman's rule and fill this young woman with the power that is rightfully hers!" Cole screamed to the heavens.

I felt energy and power rushing through my veins.

'We are almost free!'

"Now all that's left is to kill you Damien," Cole grinned wickedly.

He pulled the gun out and aimed it at Damien.

"As a matter of fact should I just kill you now for shits and giggles?" Cole raised the gun to Lillian.

"Such hard choices,"

"Lucie never loved you and never will, you killed your only true love you sick bastard! Iris will never rule with you no matter who you kill, YOU WILL NEVER CONTROL WHAT'S INSIDE HER!" Lillian screamed.

"Shut up bitch and let me finish what I started," Cole said angrily.

He raised the gun at my controller, the other half of my soul. The one I've always trusted even when I didn't trust them. The one who took care of me and loved me even when I hated them.

I watched him pull the trigger.
