He wrapped his hand tight around my throat before slamming my head against the window. I chuckled at him, realizing how he had been fooled by my mother. Even when dead, it seemed like she was still alive, creating drama and infesting our lives.

"Oh, did you love her? Fuck. She probably only used you because she only enjoyed doing that." I taunted him as his fingers went deeper into my throat, choking me hard.

I couldn't think about the pain when I was laughing from inside at what my mother had done. She had managed to trap a whole Alpha, who was already mated and from the looks of it, he seemed to be head over heels for her.

"I'll fucking kill you!" He snapped, his eyes bulging. "You have no idea what you have done."

I threw my head back, holding in my laughter, "Let me go of me." I stared back into his eyes and said.

"I'm going to fucking kill you the same way you killed her..." His nostrils flared as he flashed his canines to me. He had taken the poison by himself and turned into a monster willingly. "I'll take every ounce of your blood, leaving you dry and dead and there is nothing you can do about it—not even your fucking mate."

I growled at him before giving him a flicker of my own canines. "Try me."

He seemed surprised by the revelation which only meant he didn't know that I was just like him, a monster.

"I killed my mother in cold blood, Grayson. I combed through a city controlled by an Alpha and killed every one of his bad men. I'll fucking kill you before you can even call for your wolves." I replied to him in a whisper and without any expression on my face.

He stepped back, moving his hand away from my throat immediately. For a moment I believed we were done here, that he was going to give up, leave, let us leave with the poison. I presumed the chapter was going to be closed, forever.

But instead, he began chuckling and I furthered away from him in disapproval. "You're merely an omega, Clara. You do not have enough strength as I do. I'm an Alpha, one of the strongest Alpha's and with the poison in my system and fresh blood running through my veins, I can end you and your entire pack in seconds." He stepped forward, backing me once more. His eyes lowered before he continued, "And don't you have something else to worry about?"

I gulped hard. The nasuea, the test. I had forgotten about it completely. I needed to do the test to confirm whether I was pregnant or not.

Grayson placed a hand on one of side of my head and leaned closer, "From what I have heard, one child was already ripped out of your womb. Do you want another accident?"

I froze and my heart nearly leapt out of my throat. My eyes burned. Tears formed within them. I folded my hands, turning them into a fist and digging my own nails deep into my flesh. Fear sparked over my face.

An accident.

It wasn't an accident. It was a murder. Something I could never forget. The only weakness I had. Remembering it all thawed me. It took away all of my strength and wrung me into nobody. It made me believe that I couldn't fight for anything when I couldn't even save my own child.

"Get the fuck away from here!" A loud voice echoed through the hallways before Wayne trekked in.

He didn't hesitate for a minute. He took a hit at Grayson instantly, banging his fist into his face and thrusting him farther away from me.

I finally breathed.

Grayson barely fell. He wiped his face before a wicked grin spread across his mouth, "Wrong move."

I blinked hard and briefly saw what happened next. Two men, two Alpha's, two monster's battling each other. Both of them were strong, powerful and well-fed.

Grayson threw the second blow at Wayne, nearly breaking his nose. I gasped at the sight of him and backed away. People began crowding up in the hallway but no one stopped them.

I was frozen in my place, unable to move my limbs out of fear. When Grayson had whispered those words in my ears, I saw my world crushing once more.

I couldn't let it happen again. If there was even a chance that I was pregnant, I couldn't let any harm happen to it. I couldn't bear the pain again.

Not again.

Blood began spilling onto the pale white tiles of the hallway. I snapped to reality and watched both of them fighting and tearing each other while spitting cruel words.

Grayson was furious that I had killed his lover, my mother and Wayne was boiling with anger that he had touched me. He didn't know the whole story, not yet. I hadn't had the chance to tell him about my suspicion, which was right.

He had no idea that Grayson was a monster as well.

"Wayne." I reached forward, calling his name, forcing him to stop. He was going to get himself killed if he continued fighting with Grayson. "Wayne. Stop. Fucking stop!" I yelled at him.

He slammed Grayson to the wall and then backed away from him while breathing heavily. His chest rose and dropped while blood seeped from his bruised nose. "Don't fucking touch my mate ever again."

Grayson only chuckled, "Why stop now? That's all you got?" He mocked him and one thing Wayne despised was hearing taunts. "I challenge you...to death." He splayed his arms in the air, his face bloody and broken as well.

"No, Wayne." I grabbed my mate's arm, stopping him from even thinking about it.

It was even worse to lose Wayne. I couldn't think about it. I couldn't even take him near to it.

Grayson wiped the blood off his face and stumbled forward, "We both know what you're here for you. If you defeat me, you can have it all and you can kill me." He said, talking about the poison. The same poison my mother had given to him.

With wide eyes, I glanced up at Wayne as he began considering it. "No." I whispered to him, holding his arm tighter.

"But if I defeat you, I'll kill you..." He trailed off, his voice booming across the hallway with his own people listening to him. "...and I keep it all...and I have her as well." His slender finger directed me and I looked away in disgust.

The atmosphere grew tight and violent. I shuddered in fear. Wayne exploded at his words, unable to hold himself any longer. He hurled his arm away from my hold and approached Grayson with anger in his eyes. I stepped back. There was nothing I could longer do.

He was going to rain his fury down Grayson and I couldn't stop him.

I didn't want to anymore.

"If not mother, then I can get her daughter." He added with a stiff smile, only elevating my mate's wrath.
