“Alpha, Mario left the pack with your sister.” Kayden reported.
“What? Why would he do that? Call everyone. Follow him. We need to get my sister back.” I said.
Melissa is only twelve years old. I can’t let them take her away even he claimed that they are mate.
Mario and I are best friend. We grew up together. Everyone thought that he will be my Beta but I chose Kayden instead. Kayden possess the character of being a beta. I can’t make decisions base of our friendship only. One day I found out that he talks some of the pack members and asked them to support him to become Alpha. I thought that I can make him my third in command. He is good at training people and he is a great tracker.
I talk to him and asked why he wanted to challenge me as an Alpha? He knows he can’t win. He told me that he’s tired being the third in command. He has every right to challenge me in the title. I refused because I don’t want to hurt him but he attacked me.
We fight until I made him surrender. He just came out of jail the other day and he told me he was Melissa's mate. I didn’t believe him and I told him to wait a few more years because Melissa’s still young. I thought our conversation went well but I was wrong. He kidnapped my sister. I can't forgive him this time. Whether Melissa is her mate or not, if something bad happens to my sister I will kill him.
‘Kayden, what is the status? Where are they.’ I ask through mind-link.
‘Alpha, you should hurry up. We are at the south border. We found Mario and Melissa but he has many rogues protecting then.’ Kayden reported.
‘Rouges? How come the rogues protecting him?’ I ask confuse.
‘We don’t know Alpha. They call him Alpha too. I think that he makes an alliance with the rogues. They are following him.’
‘I’m almost there. Don’t attack till I say so. My sister’s life is in danger.’ I said.
I arrive and saw almost twenty rogues all together. At the back I saw my sister with Mario. When she sees me, she tried to run to me but Mario grab him in the arms.
“Mario! Let go of my sister. don’t use her to get to me. Fight me instead.” I shouted.
“I told you, Melissa is my mate. She will come with me.” Mario answers.
“She’s too young. I told you to wait till she’s in the right age. She’s only twelve for god’s sake!”
“Mark help me! I don’t want him. He hurts me.” Melissa shouted. I saw Mario got hurt in her words. He’s really her mate.
“Melissa listen to me, don’t fight him. Mario is your mate.”
“But I don’t like him. He is bad. He kidnapped me. I rejected him.” Melissa said.
She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Mario might hurt her if she continues to fight him. I see Mario’s eyes, it changes. He’s mad.
“Mario! She doesn’t know what she’s saying. Calm down.”
‘Kayden be ready. Mario might hurt Melissa. If he moves, we will attack them.’ I ordered through our pack link.
“You are just like your brother. You choose other over me. I should be the beta but he makes me his third in command. Now, my mate rejecting me too.” Mario says.
My heart beats fast as I saw Mario’s claw elongating. “Kayden move.”
I move quickly but stopped my trance when I a sweet scent hit my nose. I look around to see a rogue girl standing near Mario and stares at me also. Mate! We both said.
Mario hear it and in just move his claws moves to my mate heart. A painful growl escapes my mouth as my mate died.
“What a lucky day. Now to make this even better you will lose two important girls in your life.” Mario says. I look at him move to my siter.
“Mario stop! She’s your mate. Don’t do this.” I plea.
“So what? She rejected me already. I don’t need her anyway.” Mario says. He looks livid and out of mind. I wonder what makes him this way. It’s like he is not the Mario I know. I move quickly but the rogues block my way. I try to get to her in time. I teleport even if it will make me weak but it’s too late. Mario claw my sisters’ heart and I see her small lifeless body falls in the ground. An earth-shaking roar escape my mouth. All I can see now is red. I want blood. A lot of blood. I just lost my sister and mate life today. I can’t think straight. I shift to my wolf and kill anyone in my way. My pack members move away, afraid that I kill them. I am now out of control. My animal instincts kicks in.
“Everyone! Out of Alpha Mark way. He’s not thinking straight now. Move before he kills you.” Kayden shouted.
I move around and kill everyone I see. I look for Mario but he’s out of sight. He ran away. I follow his scent and hunt him. He will not get away on what he just did. I saw him a few meters away. He shifted into his wolf also and run. He can’t outrun me. I am, the fastest in the pack.
I catch up with him and bite his leg. He tried to bite my neck but I dodge and bite his arm. I bite it till it remove in his body. He cries out in pain and that satisfies my wolf. We bite his neck and cut a chunk of it. He limps on the side and shift into his wolf.
“I still win Mark. You lost your mate and sister today. You will be lonely forever. What kind of brother and mate are you if you can’t protect them? They died because of you. You will be alone forever that you will choose to die.” Mario says while his holding to the little life he has.
I shift back and grab him in the neck.
“You’re a demon. You will slowly die here. No one will help you. You will feel both pain of losing your mate and your life.”
I throw him down and leave.
“Alpha? Are you alright?” Kayden asks.
“Did you kill them all?”
“Yes, Alpha but there’s a woman who’s crying in front of your mate body. She said that she’s her sister.”
I saw a woman crying in front of my mate.
“It’s your fault! Because of you he kills Amy.” The rogue girl says.
“Woman, leave now before I kill you.” I threaten her.
“I will not leave till I take my sister body.” She says.
“You can’t take her away here. You leave alone or you die.”
“You’re cruel. Mario is right, you are selfish and cruel man. This is why we help him to get this pack. He understands how we feel.” She says.
I move fast and grab her in the neck.
“You help a man who kill his own mate to hurt me? The man who kill your sister because she’s my mate? Now asks yourself am I the cruel one or you and Marco? I will not repeat myself. I will kill you if you don’t leave now.” I throw her away before I move and see my mate and sister lay on the ground together.
“Remember this, you will be miserable for the rest of your life.” She says before she ran away.
“Alpha, are we going to follow her?” Kayden asks.
“Let her. She’s my mate sister. I don’t want her die in my pack too. Help me with her body and the other pack members who die today. We need to prepare their burial.”
“Yes Alpha.”
The Moon shines so bright in the sky. I look at her and curse her for doing this to me. How can she let my sister die? She’s too young, too innocent to be killed by that monster. How dare she paired my siter to a monster. Now I’m mate less. I can feel my wolf getting crazy inside of me.
We start to burn their body after the ritual. I look at the remaining ash of my mate and sister. This will never happen. No rogue will make it out alive in my pack. I will kill them no matter what.
“Listen everyone! Starting today, no more rogues will leave our territory alive. All rogues will automatically kill if they enter our pack. No excuse, no age, no gender. All must die. This is my order. If someone caught helping any rogue will be killed too. Understand?”
“Yes Alpha!” everybody shouted.
I turn around and leave them. I went to the falls which is Melissa and I favorite hiding place. I use to bring her here whenever I got free time. She loves playing with the water and there’s a lot of flowers around it. I feel pain all over my body and in my heart. There’s an empty hole inside of it. A place where my soulmate and sister reside. I cry and cry until there’s no more tears coming out.
How can you be so cruel to me? Why? Why Moon Goddess?
The fight that we’re all waiting for is finally arriving. In a few more minutes, Ysabelle and I will fight for the right to be Luna. I know it sounds crazy that I need to fight when I’m Mark’s mate. Their rules needed to be changed once I won tonight.Lucy and I will not allow any woman in this world to steal our mate again. He is my second chance mate and there will be no third time.Mark and the other wolves are all gathered outside.Some are preparing for the patrol tonight. It is not easy to accept wolves from the neighboring pack as they can cause problems.This tradition puts our pack in danger. With the things that are happening outside, some might slip into our territory and do bad things.I pace back and forth in our room. I feel something weird but I can't pinpoint what it is.Maybe this is the feeling of a person who doesn't know if she will still live or die today."What's wrong Wendy?" Allie asked as she entered my room."I don't know. I feel like something is gonna happe
I have to admit, I didn't sleep much because of Mark. Apart from him, it makes me think about the possible outcome of the battle that will happen later.According to the rules, neighboring packs will be notified of this battle. Many have accepted the invitation and will come later to witness who will win over Ysabelle and me."I'm nervous about what might happen later," Allie said."Just calm down Allie, you can't be stressed. It will affect your baby.""But I can't, you make me worry. We're not just friends, we're almost sisters. I can't bear anything bad happening to you."‘Mark, are you with Kayden?’ I asked through mind-link.‘We’re in a meeting, why?’‘How long will he be available?’‘We’re merely done. What do you need from him?’‘Allie’s nervous right now because of the upcoming battle later. It might cause her to give birth early if she stresses herself too much.’‘I’ll send Kayden’s there now.’‘Thank you!’“Allie, trust me, I know I can win this. I trained for this day and w
I waited for Mark to return that night. My mood is still at bay after what Ysabelle did to my cake. Her childish behavior is getting out of hand.I was fuming when my mate's scent hit me.'I'm back! Where are you?' He asked through our mind link.'Guess where?'I can hear him growl at my tone.'I'll be in the office for a quick meeting, then I will come and see you.''Hurry, I need to tell you something.''You're angry, I can feel it.''Let's talk about it later.''Okay.'I hurried downstairs to grab a slice of cake from the fridge and a bottle of water for him. I saw Allie doing the same for Kayden and she winked at me.What was that about?I shook my head and went back to our room. I grabbed a pair of new sleepwear and went to take a quick shower.As I was about to finish drying my hair, Mark entered the bathroom and grabbed my waist.He kisses me deeply and longingly as if his life depended on it."I miss you." He said while caressing my naked body."I miss you more."He quickly re
Mark went out today to visit another pack but he promised to get back home before dinner.Tomorrow will be the day of the fight and here I am baking my favorite Caramel Vanilla Cake. I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, by the way.“What is that? I smell something delicious.” Allie said as she entered the kitchen."It's a caramel-vanilla cake. Sit here and eat some. I'm almost done with it.""I don't get how you can manage to bake when you're about to fight tomorrow." She said while getting a slice for herself."I don't want to put so much pressure on my head right now. I know my mate is already worried about it. I don't want to add to his burden." I know Mark is already stressed about it. I don't want to add to his problem anymore. I feel somehow confident because of the training I received from Luna Angel."I'm praying to the moon goddess for your safety.""Thanks, Allie. Don't stress yourself too much regarding this, you need to focus on your health for your baby. You're due is near. W
The day that I've been preparing for has arrived.Mark was requested to attend the meeting. They've been nagging him about it for a week now. I know that he and his wolf are on edge because of the risk they would take if I lost in the fight.'Wendy, come to my office.' Mark said through the link. He sounds mad and I can feel it through the bond.'Don't stress yourself too much. I'll be fine.' I said, but he didn't reply.I knocked three times on his office door before I went in.Everyone is silently staring at me as I make my way to his side. He then grabs me when I'm a handful away."Alpha, since Wendy is here. We can proceed to our discussion earlier." Gloria, one of the elders."I told you that she's not participating in that fight. She's my mate." I can feel the power radiating out of his body. Everyone is showing their neck but still wants to proceed with the tradition.I held Mark's face with my hands. I forced him to look me directly in the eyes."It's okay Mark. I'm okay, I'm
Today’s training is very intense. Angel didn’t stop until I almost passed out.But for the record, I can feel my muscles strengthen and I feel lighter than I can move easily.“This is the last training I’ll be giving you today.”She throws me a piece of cloth.“What for?” I asked.“Not all the time you can see your opponent. We need to strengthen our senses too. Like wolves, we have sensitive earrings and eyesight. Both of them help us to track and feel our surroundings, however, we never know when we lose them in a battle. The most common technique in fighting your opponent is making them blind if someone did that to you. You must not panic and trust your other senses.”He put out a handkerchief and cover my eyes.“What is it for?”“This is your final training. I want you to fight using your human strength while blindfolded. There were fights where you might lose your wolf, you need to be prepared to fight hand-to-hand combat. I will attack you. You need to protect yourself at any co
