You call it madness, I call it love. (Part 2)

Her behavior was so, odd. Why would I have her clothes? Why didn't she bring her own? I felt agitated as she slammed the bathroom door but that quickly turned to remorse when I heard her sobs. How, how could I fix this? Why was she crying? Had I hurt her unintentionally? I had every intention of talking this out with her as soon as she came out, but I had passed out before she could return to the bed. 

I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up to have her cuddled up to me. My heart swelled as I felt my face break into a grin, her face buried into my neck, her light breathing caressing my skin. I refused to move in case I would wake her, and to try and stop my morning wood from getting too excited. She shifted slightly, murmuring in her sleep before I felt her lips against the nape of my neck. My entire body shivering with anticipation and excitement as I felt her tongue flick against the muscle in my neck. My mind was racing, was she awake and ready to accept me? I felt immense and intense pleasure wash over my body as her teeth dug into my flesh. I let out a moan as she yelled "NO" as she tried to push herself off me. 

I stared at her confused and kind of pissed off. "The f*** Laura?" I asked her before rolling over, letting her out of our cuddle. She looked at me mortified, I was so confused. Why was she looking at me like that? I guess she wasn't ready to accept me, perhaps vampires just dreamt about biting people? I huffed before walking to the bathroom to clean myself up so I could ask her directly, not trusting myself to push her into taking this further. Goddess dam it, why did you make her so... irresistible. Yet, when I reemerged she was nowhere to be seen. My heart stopped, why. Why did she leave me? Did she hate me that much? No. No, she must just be embarrassed maybe? 

"Dimitri" I barked through the door, knowing he would be there. 

"Yes, Alpha." He responded quickly, he was so eager to please me. 

"The Luna has... disappeared. Please, find her." 

Okay! Phew, that was a lot of information! I want to just let everyone know that some of Victor's backstory is quite dark so in order to keep his chapters free I will need to sensor some stuff. 

Hope you all enjoyed :) New main story chapters coming soon! 

"Yes Sir!" 

I smiled knowing I had made the right decision in naming him my Beta, many would question me as to why. After all, it was common knowledge that our medics were those without a wolf. Dimitri, he was different. I knew his mother well, she had been a close friend of my own mother. And after, after everything that had happened that night. Seeing my parents tormented, abused, and finally murdered. Having to participate to appease those monsters, having to ignore Anya and her cries of pain as they had their way with her... His mother nursed me back to health. Helped Anya forget what had happened, forget how... how they treated her. How could I not give a half-witch half-wolf the title of Beta? I knew with time his powers would strengthen, I knew the teachings of his mother would only better my pack. 

"Alpha, Victor." A dissatisfied voice called from my door, I opened it surprised to find Domini. 

"Domini?" 

He had a deep frown set on his face, he didn't want to be here but looked past me obviously searching for Laura.

"She's not here." I responded gruffly, I had to again remind myself that he was not in competition with me for her love. 

He rolled his eyes at my tone picking up my jealously.

"Right, well. I just wanted to inform you... Formally... that well, I am coming with you." 

I attempted to hide my disdain but he caught it quickly explaining himself. 

"Look, I made a promise a long time ago that I would do everything to protect her. I love her. She is the closest thing I have to family now. And I am not going to let her go somewhere she really doesn't want to go by herself, besides. I have had just enough of Alpha Clide."

I raised my eyebrow as his tone shifted to anger at the mention of Clide, I wondered if he too knew his secrets. 

"I'm not asking to be your Beta, I'm not even asking for your permission." 

I snarled at that, obvious disrespect. He rolled his eyes again and laughed. 

"I don't care for your attempts at showing off, Laura is my Luna and she will want me there. And I know you will never even attempt to harm me, or else you will lose any chance you may think you have to win her heart." 

 I sighed deeply at that, he was right. 

"Fine." 

He nodded, satisfied before giving me a harsh warning. 

"Alpha, I will tell you this only once. If you ever, ever hurt her. I will kill you." 

I did not fear his threat, but I knew he meant it. I could feel the power behind his words and I appreciated the honesty. I gave him a genuine smile before slamming the door. He had indeed won some respect from me, and I was more than happy to have another body around to protect my precious Luna. 

I had almost finalized preparations for us all to leave and return home when those hurried, frantic words reached my ears. 

"The Luna is dead! She was murdered!" 

My heart stopped, my brain stalled as I stood frozen in place. Clide. 

"Wait what?" Someone screamed back.

"Luna Ashly!" 

Wailing erupted as many began panicking, but I felt instant relief. My Laura was safe. For now. 

I ran around desperate to find her, knowing it would be only a short matter of time before she would be taken. I knew who would dare to kill a Luna, there were here for Laura, and wanted to make sure no one would come after her.

"Vivi!" Anya called desperately near the hospital wing, I followed her inside.

When I rounded the corner to see Clide standing over my precious love, covered in blood and bruises I felt my vision turn bright white. My entire body rumbled with hot animalistic rage, I was clouded by the need to kill him for his sins. I pounced, unaware I had shifted crashing him into the opposing room. I snarled as he attempted to push me off him, his face terrified. I allowed him to huddle in the corner of the room, enjoying the fear seeping off his body. The rush at knowing he was going to die, that I was going to make it as painful as possible. 

"Victor." Anya scolded me, as I gave her a warning growl. 

I did not want to harm her but I couldn't allow her to take away this deserved kill, not again.

"Victor, stop. You know this is what he wants."

I growled again not taking my eyes off of my prey. 

"We aren't ready for war." 

She was right, yet I couldn't and wouldn't let him live for this.

"Be done with it!" Clide screamed at me. 

Gladly, I thought pouncing onto him my jaw was about to connect with his neck. 

"Alpha! No!" Dimitri called, cold as stone. 

I felt my body lift into the air and get pulled back, I turned to Dimitri shocked he would use his powers against me. 

"I can not let you act in this way, your mind is clouded." 

I snarled as he rolled his eyes at me. 

Clide began laughing maniacally as I felt a sense of disgust roll over me. The room I had pushed him in, was Ashlys. Somehow the cloth that had covered her had been pulled back, her corpse lay bear. 

"Why did you do this to me?" He asked tearfully before shaking her body. 

"How could you? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!" 

I felt myself shift back against my will as Dimitri grunted under the immense pressure it took. 

"You always choose her! It was always her! Even over our own son! You still choose that b*tch! SHE REJECTED YOU! SHE MARRIED ANOTHER!" 

I tried to fight against Dimitri's power, and yet I couldn't. I felt an odd sense of pride in him, that he could fight an Alpha. 

"I had to do it! I HAD TO! Forgive me!" He wailed and wept before a cold, almost dead voice caught my attention. 

"Clide. That is enough. She's gone." 

Herman, their pack doctor stood emotionless before approaching him. Clide wailed more, attempting to hit Herman.

"Clide. No more." He practically hissed as Clide's eyes seemed to re-focus. 

A deeper fear than I had ever seen pass over his face. 

"Her... Herman..." he stuttered as the doctor pushed him down to the floor so he could inspect the late Luna. 

"What did you do Clide... What have you done..." 

"I didn't! It was her!" 

"Stop this Clide! Laura was nowhere near here and you know it!"

"NO! SHE KILLED HER! IT"S HER FAULT!"

"Alpha Victor we need to leave," Dimitri grunted before Anya whispered softly.

"Laura, she needs to be seen over."

Herman gave me a strange look "no need, I will see to her shortly. I'm afraid that most of you will need to leave, I fear our dear Clide has lost his mind." 

I was unnerved by his cold demeanor and how easily he was able to dismiss Clide's title. This man was no wolf.
