Chapter 2

Aron pov 

  

His warm blood runs into our mouth and I can feel the darkness inside us getting a bit satisfied. When the rogue takes his last breath a warmth is spread through our body. That's all we can feel these days, any other feeling we once could feel is long gone, and the darkness has taken over the last piece of us. 

  

"Aron! Aron! Wait! You don't have to kill him, let's interrogate him first." My beta shouts through mind link while my wolf drops his hold on the rogue's neck and the lifeless body falls to the ground with a thud. 

  

He didn't have any chance once he trespassed onto my pack grounds. None of them do, we always find them, even if we have to hunt them down for days after. My wolf enjoys the hunt, and the further away they try to run the better the chase. 

  

"Too late!" I just mind link back while a shiver of pleasure courses through my body, another rogue is eliminated by us. 

  

"Why do you always have to rip them apart without giving them a chance to explain, Aron? Can't you for once hold back from killing them?" He barks through mind link when my wolf snaps his head to look at him and gives away a warning growl. 

  

Dane knows not to go against my wolf and his prey, last time someone tried, he accidentally killed the guard. I can't blame my wolf for what happened, we were engulfed by the darkness that runs in our veins, and there was no stopping us. They all know not to go in between. 

  

"And we have to go back if you are going to make it there in time," my beta Dane says through mind link frustrated. I know he is right, we have been chasing this rogue for too long already. 

  

"Alright!" I snarl back through mind link and take a last look at the dead body on the ground, he didn't put up much of a fight. I can feel my wolf's disappointment over it. 

  

Turning around, we start to head back to the pack house. I need a shower before we get on the road and head over there. My wolf gets his chance to run his frustration off a bit when he sprints back without the rest being able to catch up with his speed, and we have to wait outside the pack house for the others. 

  

"Are the guards informed?" I ask my gamma once we step inside the pack house, and he walks up beside me. 

  

"I'll take care of it right away, the car will be ready in a couple of minutes," he says, taking off down the hallway to the right without me answering him. He knows how I want it without me telling him. 

  

"I will be ready in a bit," Dane says, and heads over to his room on the second floor while I keep walking to my quarters on the highest floor and head right over to my chambers. I want to get this done fast and be back here in a couple of hours for my night round. 

  

Reaching the door to my chambers, I'm quick inside and walk over to the shower, have to get all this blood off me before I get dressed. 

  

"Aron, what are you going to do if it doesn't work this time either? You are running out of time, and why don't you take a mate instead of waiting to find your destined one?" Dane says when we are done and have taken a seat in the car. 

  

My Gama starts the car, and we pull out on the road while I look at my guards by the tree line going on their regular scout around the pack grounds. 

  

"Keep trying! And you know I won't take anyone else than my mate," I state, and see us passing by the borders. 

  

"You are twenty four already and haven't found your mate, are you even sure you have one?" Dane says sarcastically to me. 

  

All these years since I got my wolf, I have waited for her. The first years I was hopeful to find her, but lately I'm convinced I don't have a mate. I know I have probably enraged the moon goddess to the point where she won't give me one. I don't care if I turned the moon goddess against me, where was she when we needed her? 

  

"I probably don't have one," I snap back at him. He is one of those who knows me best and my past, he is also the one closest to me, and he knows when it's best to keep quiet and not push it too far with me before it gets out of hand. 

  

"Everyone has a mate, it doesn't matter what you have done or not" Dane says when I feel his eyes on me. That's his belief, and I'm not agreeing with him here. I know the darkness that runs through my veins and what we have done. There is no redemption for parts of it, and I have come to terms with my path. 

  

"That's your opinion!" I state when I see the building come into view. Placing my phone in my pocket, I see the entrance when the car turns off the road and heads for the side entrance. I prefer any side door before the main entrance, where there are always a lot of people. 

  

"I have the folder here if you have changed your mind and want to see her before," Dane says, holding the folder in his hand. 

  

Sitting back in my seat, I take the folder from him and hold it for a bit. I usually don't look at anyone I have tried with before. It doesn't matter how they look or what personality they have as long as they are eighteen or older. 

  

That's the only demand I have. They have to be of the right age and come from the line of an Alpha. My pup needs to be strong, and I will never agree to anything else. 

  

"I don't care," I say, and place the folder down on the seat between us. How the woman looks or any other information about her isn't necessary for me to know, I only have to fix my part in there. 

  

"If this doesn't work, they have signed in for another try once the woman is ready again," Dane says while the car comes to a stop outside the entrance. 

  

"Let's hope another try won't be needed," I say, opening the door. Walking out, Dane gets out on the other side while two other guards get out of the car behind and walk over to the entrance. 

  

"You know what to do." I mind link Dane before he starts to head over to the entrance, and one of the guards holds the door open for us. 

  

"Yes, let's get this done." He mind links back. 

  

Walking inside, the guards are right behind us when Bryan, my gamma comes walking up beside us right when we take the corner in a hallway and reach a bigger hall. 

  

"I will be outside and waiting in the car, just grabbing me a coffee," he says, and that's always the same with him and his coffee. 

  

"Be back in the car in fifteen minutes." I give him the order and continue walking when we turn into the next hallway and head right over to the room. I'm just planning to get this done quick and go back right after. 

  

"I will," he says when I see him take off down the hallway before I stop outside the door and hear a woman scream loudly from behind us while I place my hand on the handle. 

  

"We will be waiting close by," Dane says when I open the door and get inside the room before closing the door. I toss my jacket on the chair close to the door before I start to unbutton the belt in my pants to get ready.
