3. Mona

Kai’s pov

“Come back to bed, Raider.” Clara said looking seductively.

She was looking really good, wearing some sexy red lingerie. We had been dating for a year now and she just moved in, but I think she was more invested than I was.

Dad had told me I could only become Alpha was if I took a Luna. He thought it might help me and my wolf, Ronin. He also thought it would make me calmer.

“He is wrong.” Ronin growled.

“I need to check something out, Clara.” I said, kissing her deeply, “but keep that on, I will wake you up when I come back.”

A rogue was captured near our border. Dad and Beta Norman were letting him rot in the dungeon for a bit, until they would interrogate him. I would give it a shot myself, I needed to let go of some of the anger I felt today.

It was exactually seven years since Kimiko died. No, since Kimiko was murdered by Mona. Mona hadn’t just taken my sister, she had taken so much more from me. My relationship with Ronin was absolute crap, my dad refused to make me Alpha. My mom was never the same after we lost Kimiko, she was depressed. Mom spent almost a year inside her room. When Mona and I fell in love, my inmom felt like she had another daughter. She loved Mona almost as much as I did. But she fell right back into her depression when she found out Mona had been behind everything.

From the moment we started dating, I knew Mona was the one for me. I knew she was my mate. I thought it would be such a great moment when she turned eighteen. We would finally know we’re mates, mark each other and become the Luna and Alpha of our pack.

She was perfect. Well, she fucking pretended to be perfect. That sweet innocent girl, was full of lies. I should have killed her. The moment I let her go, I regretted it. A few days later her pack link broke and I knew she had died. She must have been killed by a rogue or someone else who hated her. The list was only getting longer.

At least I didn’t have to lie to my parents about it. I told them I had killed her and by sending Mona away, I had.

Ronin was hurt though. He hated what I had done. He hated that she was dead. While I mourned what could have been, he actually mourned Mona. I couldn’t understand my wolf. After everything she had done, how could he still believe her? How could he still think she was the right person for us?!

I walked down to the dungeon and the guards let me in. The dungeon still looked the same as when Mona was in here. Fuck, I shouldn’t even be thinking about her. It’s a waste of my thoughts. A waste of my fucking time.

The rogue was hanging there, naked and dirty. Rogues smell so disgusting. They never bathe and spent most of their time in wolf form. Some chose to become rogue, leaving their pack on their own. But it was also a way to punish your packmembers. The rogue territory was close to our pack and it was filled with thieves, rapists and murderers. So I felt no regret beating this guy up.

I didn’t even ask questions, I started hitting him straight away. Going for the places that hurt the most. His ribs, his shin, his stomach. He’d be coughing blood for days. If he lived that long.

“Why are you here?” I growled.

“I was looking for something to eat. The Wolvin pack keeps pushing us back this way.”

“The Wolvin pack?!” I shouted, hitting him again.

“Stop. Please, don't hurt me!" The rogue pleaded."It’s this pack of rogues living in the rogues territory. Mostly women. They own a third of the land now and we can’t use it to hunt or live.”

I knocked the rogue out and went upstairs. Clara was already asleep, so I took a quick shower. I didn’t want her to smell the blood on me.

When I crawled into bed, Clara snuggled against me. She looked beautiful, but I wasn’t in the mood. I would just let her sleep tonight.

The next day I woke up feeling something warm and soft around my cock.

“I thought you would wake me up.” She mindlinked me as she worked my morning wood with her mouth.

“You looked so peaceful, I didn’t want to wake you.”

She used her hands to pump up and down, while her tongue swirled around the tip. Clara really knew how to give a blow job. There had only ever been one person who was better at it. Fuck, don’t think about her now. She is a monster and she’s dead.

Clara worked my cock like a pro and I felt myself getting close.

“Raider, you need to come to my office, right now!” Dad’s voice rang inside my head through our mindlink.

If there was one thing that was more of a cockblock than Mona, it was my dad.

“Sorry, Clara. I’m needed downstairs.” I said.

“You want me to finish you off?” She ask seductively.

“Maybe later.” I replied and I got out of the bed.

I got dresses quickly, washed my face, brushed my teeth and headed down to my dad’s office.

“I know yesterday was a rough day for you, for all of us, but we needed that prisoner for answers.” Dad growled.

“I left him alive.”

Dad shook his head, “you’d better have gotten something out of him, Raider.”

“He told me there is a pack inside of the rogue territory. It’s a bunch of rogues that banded together or some shit. Mostly women.”

Beta Norman entered the room while I was talking.

“Perhaps we could use them. One of my sources say there is a large amount of silver to be found in the rogue territory. You were wanting to expand our pack and the business? This could be a great opportunity if we’re able to take over that land.” Beta Norman said.

“Let’s use the alliance for this, it will cost us a small percentage of the profit, but it means a lot less work and potential death packmembers for us.” Dad said, “we have that conference in a week anyway.”

A few years before Mona’s death dad had established a alliance with four of the largest packs in the Northern part of the country. Together they ran the North. It’s called the North Allied Wolves. No one is strong enough to fight the four of us.

“Thanks Norman,” dad said, “I need to discuss something with my son right now.”

Beta Norman left me alone in the office. Fuck, what’s this about now.

“So when are you marking Clara?” dad asked.

I sighed, “soon. It’s only been a year.”

“I marked your mother after meeting her for the first time.”

I growled, “that’s because she’s your mate. My mate was a damn murderous bitch that ruined our lives.”

“You need to let that go, Raider. It wasn’t your fault. We all didn’t see it. I want you to take over, but you need to be ready. Having a Luna might calm you down. Might make your relationship with your wolf better.”

I shook my head, “Ronin doesn’t like Clara.”

“He will, once you mark her.” Dad replied.

“I won’t. I will never except another mate.” Ronin growled, sounding more pissed off than ever.
