“Dad what did you say?” I asked still in shock, this isn’t what we concluded, we never said we would be killing her…
“You heard me right, kill her here and now or they will have to do it for you!” He growled more deeply with his countenance having those menacing look,
“Jason, this is a dream right?” Scarlett sobbed holding my arm as she was filled with terror, I guess she had trusted me so much or must have been so blinded by her obsession.
“Get your hands off me!” I huffed wriggling off with my face grim,
She cried and looked around shivering in fear at the furious wolves howling at her with those fangs and dark eyes,
“You can’t kill her because she is your mate?” Dad questioned and I sighed, I can’t believe dad is this serious about killing my mate, he had just made me bring her into the pack so he would kill her, he didn’t accept my plan of using her as bait,
“Dad, I thought we planned on using her as bait, making her be a spy into her pack, she would be bringing information for us, I thought that was what e concluded, why do you want her dead now?” I asked confusedly and he made a croaky laugh which was also heart skipping itself,
Everything about my father is just so scary and I guess Scarlett would faint in fear of he should shift into a wolf in her presence, the size, the fierceness, the howl, the fire that would be in his eyes and how strong and sharp his claws appears, all that is enough to make a wolf froze In horror,
“I didn’t fell for your tricks!” He snapped and I frowned feeling angry, it was clear Dad no more trusts me and I can’t blame him since he badly wants to take revenge and would never want to fail to defeat Daren,
“Dad, you thought I would foil the plans like you thought I will fall for love instead?” I questioned and he nodded,
“The bond of mate which I saw was too strong, it was so strong that you both are ready to die for each other, I saw it and fear gripped me if I don’t kill her, there is no way you will comply, in the end, you will shatter all I planned and desired for, I won’t allow that!” He huffed and turned to the Beta whose wolf was more wolf and enraged,
“Hey, little girl, stop acting weak, I already know of your powers, you should use it or die!” He sneered at Scarlett who shivered down to her knee,
“Please don’t kill me, please, I never did any wrong to you…I’m sorry if my father wronged you, please I don’t want to die…” she kept pleaded with her lips quivering, sweat and tears covered her whole face dropping down to the ground,
I shut my eyes taking a deep breath, my heart was already heavy at the moment and I felt I did the wrong thing, but dad tricked me into believing he agreed not to kill my mate, that was why I brought her here
Now was she going to die??
“Dad, her guards are outside to receive her when she leaves this place, her brother knew I took her home…killing her would cause great havoc, it would cause Alpha Darren to lay ambush on us, can we…”
“Shit up little boy!” Dad cut me off with a killer glare,
“I don’t give a damn, as for her bodyguards, their dead bodies are lying on the ground now, what of Alpha Darren knows we killed his daughter???…what then??… do you think I’m afraid of him?” He sneered with his tone exuding confidence mixed with hate,
“My daddy will wipe out your pack and destroy every single soul here…” Scarlett shrilled and Dad turned to her, he smirked walking closer while she moved her legs back in fear,
Dad caught hold of her hair tightly, he drew it up leaving her face staring at him,
“You think your father is capable right??…then watch and see how I destroy him myself!!!” He growled and gave her a heavy punch that landed on her nose,
She cried in pain falling to the ground as blood gushed down,
“Beat her to a pulp!!” He ordered the wolves and they all pounced on her while I watched with a heavy heart,
Dad drifted his gaze to me with those curtly look,
“Go into your toom, your presence is no more needed;” he huffed and I glanced at Scarlett already bruised, the more she tried fighting with her weak wolf, the more they pierced and smeared her whole body leaving her wolf howling in pain as blood gushed out…
“Dad!!!… Darren is going to wipe us all away!…you are hurting his only daughter!” I yelled but he laughed instead,
“I am daring him to a fight!” He smirked leaving my head pounding at how mean Dad was, he was just too confident and was undisturbed,
I knew things would never be the same after today, I won’t go to school anymore, instead, I would be preparing for war, a massive one which I can’t tell if I would come back alive,
I had thought this war would be coming later, I thought it was still in a distant time, never did I knew it was already knocking at the door, the great war that would claim so many lives,
“You are one of the warriors we depend on, never are you going to relent or act weak, that’s why I’m killing her!” He howled with those glares and my heart skipped a beat,
Less did he knew the lady he was brutally killing isn’t my mate, she isn’t the lady I felt the mate pull for, she was a substitute for Elena, I can’t bear to have her killed so I made Scarlett the sacrificial lamb to save my Elena…
I heaved a deep sigh as I found my way away to my room leaving Scarlett screaming and howling in the deep pain she must be going through,
Elena, I did this for you…

Darren’s POV
“Where are my son and daughter?” I asked my guards who bowed their heads without saying any word, they were dumbed as this had been the fifth time they would be going out to look for them,
It was still not really in my view, even when they hadn’t found them for this last round, I won’t believe my children were kidnapped or taken away, it isn’t possible and no one would ever dare me to that extent…
“Where are my children???” Elf asked with a deep stern standing up from the seat beside me as the men all shivered,
“What about the guards that go around with them??…what the hell are you guys trying to make me believe?” I seethed with anger swelling up,
“We don’t know what happened, there is no trace of them, they were seen in school, it all happened outside the school” the leader of the search team explained with swearing all over his face,
“So is Jason also missing?” Elf asked,
The guard made to give me a reply when the Beta and Gamma rushed in with a confused look.
“What are we hearing??…your children missing??” They both exclaimed, their tone showing how shameful it sounded,
“I don’t think so, no one can dare me Alpha Darren to that extent knowing fully. well what I can do!!” I growled clenching my fist,
I was going to destroy anyone who had done this if actually, it is true, I swear!!!
“They were kidnapped after school, have you inquired about Jason, Scarlett’s mate, they are always together so I think he should know what happened to her!” The Beta fumed,
“I said the same thing!… where is he?” Elf gruffed,
“Jason is in his pack, there is no news of him being missing too!” The head guard replied and I jolted up in anger,
“Get him here!!!” I ordered at the top of my voice,
“Yes sir!” They bowed and made to leave when one of my guards rushed in breathing heavily,
“Alpha!!!!!” He called out with his tone exuding fear, he fell to the ground leaving us staring at him confusedly,
“What is it?…what happened?” The Gamma asked with his gruff voice,
“I was so lucky to escape!!” He breathed more heavily like his breath was held,
“Escape from who?” Everyone asked at the same time peering at him with one countenance,
Curiosity,
All I yearn to hear is the coward who dared me this far, I was going destroy him immediately, it still shocked me how someone got the gut to kidnap my children, I wonder what gave him the courage,
Was that person calling for war???
Then he had made a huge mistake which would take his life and the life of his family and pack!
“I don’t know who this man were but they were powerful to kill all the men guarding Scarlett, I was so lucky to even when they dug my heart with their claws” he cried in pain and that was when I could see the thick blood flowing off his chest profusely,
“What??…this is not real!”The Beta gnashed his teeth as it was all clear to us, it was vaguely in everyone’s mind what these men seek,
War!!!
It made a deep smirk plaster on my face, they had overestimated their capability which would cause their extinction!
“You mean there was no way to recognize those men!!!” Elf yelled angrily,
“No, they were good at the cover, no matter how we tried we couldn’t but…I have news about Jason!” He added and our eyes glistened in curiosity to hear what he would say,
I was so much eager that I felt the urge to squeeze words out of his throat, I wasn’t concerned about his pain from the sounds making him have a slurry speech, he should spit it all immediately.
“What about him??…does he have a hand in all this???” Elf succeeded in throwing the question before anyone else as that was what we all were eager to ask.
You can’t tell how the rage in me was boiling, my wolf was already growling in great anger and all I wanted was to find where to vent it all, I just needed to hear who did all this, it must be a pack and I can’t wait to hear whose pack it was,
It would be their end!
My claws were already sprouting out, my body was hot, It was so unbelievable yet was happening for real,
“Tell me what you know about Jason!!!!” I thundered impatiently.
The man took a deep breath, yelped, grunt strived for breath, there was no doubt the pain was growing and could kill him but I needed this message first!
“Jason took Scarlett to his Pack after school!” He finally spoke out and my jaw dropped, my eyes widened in surprise.
“Go and get that son of a b***h here!!!” I thundered but then, the head of warriors walked in that moment,
“The men I sent to get him In his Pack never returned!” He announced and I gaped at him in surprise as the truth dawned on me,
