I turned back to stare at Caramel who had this annoying smirk on her face. Although, I have never liked this girl for one thing but this is making me hate her for the same no reason.
‘See for yourself’ Mox said as if I didn’t want to see what would be inside.
You never can tell, I check to see if there would be any warning sign or something. Since I have studied the humans, I learn they would be something like an explosive trap, and Brook, won’t want to let me go like that.
I should have gone after him but he isn’t my problem. I still have many things to worry about before getting his head off his body. Also, I would need to be careful because since Caramel already knows about Rain’s mortality, Brook would definitely be immortal.
With no or little strength, I kicked the wall which eventually became a door.
‘Not surprised’ Sean said in my head.
I almost jumped off my skin when I heard his voice, seriously, I had forgotten about him amd Mira’s presence. Now I miss Hawk, he would have talked his whole way through after killing Caramel, the girl he always hate.
The door opens only to find another messed-up lab or room filled with piles of bloody clothes, small pipes, cotton wool, and that’s a dress. It was everywhere but fortunately, it didn’t smell as bad as it looked. It was like an abandoned lab, with something like torturing objects. The iron bed has belts, and four short belts which I can tell were used to maybe tie the victim to the head and do whatever they want to do.
My gaze scanned around but there was no sign of my mate. I sniffed really hard, at some point, I felt I would be able to sniff the dirt into my nose, and yet, I could not sniff anything to know if she has been in there but still, there was no scent of her or anything that can possibly give me an idea of where she might have gone.
“Where is Rain?” I growled boiling in rage.
I turned to Caramel who had walked into the room along with us, oh, Sean and Mira had followed me.
Caramel still had her hands hiding behind her and I couldn’t help but think if she might be hiding something behind me.
“Caramel, Where is my Mate?”.
Not getting an answer from her, I turned around to the messed-up room, and not far away from where I stood was a dagger on the ground covered with wolfsbane. I can sniff it, it smells so hard.
‘Shit!’.
My heart leaped at the sight of it, immediately, I rushed towards it, picked up the dagger, and my eyes inspected with a fast racing heart. Not knowing who might own the dagger, I turned my direction to Sean only to find him staring at the bed nearby. He picked up a strain of black hair, his eyes not leaving it.
Anyone can have black hair.
Caught in between the edge, I walked furiously towards him, snatched the hair from him, and smelled it only to discover that it didn’t belong to Rain.
‘Oh! That was so relieving’.
Suddenly, Caramel burst out laughing so loudly. I can’t tell if it was the angry look on my face or the growling that really amused her and she couldn’t stop laughing.
‘She is such a pain in the ass, please let me kill her, Alpha’ Sean mind linked me
I turned around to Caramel, “What the fuck is funny to you?!” I growled with raging and the urge to kill but that didn’t stop her laughter.
Sean himself looked pissed but he chooses to say nothing but watch the drama unfold.
Instantly, Caramel stopped laughing, she stared right into my eyes, and a serious look appeared on her face.
“I told my mate that it will work,” Caramel snorted “Just as I say”.
Confused, I raised my brows and frowned. Turning to Sean I could see the same confusion mixed with rage and with the way I see his claws growing, someone is about to die.
And we all know the person.
“You are all too late, just as you have always been late, Rex” James seems a bit serious now “Just too late! We expected you to have come earlier”.
Have I ever been late before? I doubt that! Looking for the first mate, I was on time, the second, I met her on time, how am I then too late?
Just then, I began to hear footsteps, I turned around only to find some men walking into the room fiercely and ready to attack.
How come I didn’t perceive them? How come I didn’t even notice the slightly rogue smell or Human? Something needs to be off because I don’t understand how these Humans look so beasty like they would be able to attack me and remain in one piece. Obviously, they are humans because they smell like humans but what I don’t get is their, growling nails.
‘Alpha, It’s a trap!’ Sean mind linked me to the verge of half shift.
I was really ready for today, just that I wasn’t ready for the dead Alpha, dead girl, and …. these beasty-looking humans. Adjusting my shoulders till they made pop sounds, I smirked as I looked at him. Both sides of my lips curved into a calm smile.
“Sure it is” I groaned as I snap out my claws “Expected”.
‘Thank goodness I was prepared for anything’ Mox chuckled as he was partially too in charge of my body ‘I will gladly kill lots of people today.
I saw that asshole Brook walks into the room from another door. His black eyes were as sharp as a blade as he looked around with nothing but loose sweat pants, I can literally see his long dick dangling in between his thighs.
Damn, he is so irritating!
How come he had been with my mate all these years, have her take him as an Alpha who later stopped talking to her because of his father only to what to claim her when she already has a mate?
‘I see that as supidity’.
A sly smile spread on Brook’s face as he wiggled his brows.
“You use to feel you are the strongest until I saw how much of a greedy bastard you are when you took Rain and forcefully claim her” He snorted “Damn.. I felt embarrassed for you”.
Even now, I still feel embarrassed for myself but how was I supposed to know he thought I was greedy? Rain is my mate! My property and I know I did mark her with her concept and she could have died but… she is fine and… where the hell is she?
“Alpha Brook, I had no idea I was supposed to take permission from you before taking my mate you neglected, and even if, I didn’t want your pervert type around my mate so I did it to…”.
My furs raised as I inhales her awful but always familiar scent.
“Not Olivia again!”.
Walking into view, Olivia had this evil kind of smile across her face as she parked her hair in a messy bun. Seriously, I wonder why they had not attacked me from Brook’s office. They let me break into the walk before coming here all dressed differently as I care about their causal wear.
“What have you all done to my mate?” I asked.
Olivia shrugged as she looked at Caramel, it was as if she had told Caramel to tell me about it before or they had prepared who would say which to me.
Impatiently, I growled as I stared at Caramel as she lazily let out a slow sigh.
“We absolutely have no idea where Rain is but we hope no other rogues have gotten her” Caramel rapped.
Wait!
This has to be a joke right?
So they let me come here, act like a fool, just to waste my time and tell me that they had no idea where my mate is.
“She was here until she left today after helping someone slit my neck three hours ago”.
Staring at Caramel yarn about her she thought she would die, I slowly turned to Mira. Normally I can see that there is almost no match for each other because Caramel seems a bit taller and bigger than Mira.
Most annoying, Mira stood still, like she was invisible and there thinking about her wrong choice of following me.
She looked up at Caramel and looked away, obviously looking scared which made Olivia laugh in mockery. Embarrassed, I decided to end this shit myself, since asking Sean to do it might be another issue.
Walking a bit away from where I stood to Caramel, I noticed Brook growling. He had been staring at her like…
‘Seems she Is his mate’ Sean mind linked me.
I turned to look at him in surprise. That can not be possible, not in one bit when the Brook I know barely wants anything that would give him a weak mate. I heard he didn’t want Rain because he felt she was too weak and his father said she was cursed.
To see if I can prove anything, I took another step toward Caramel, earning a loud growl from Brook.
“What’s the matter, Rex?” Brook asked as he tilt his head to his left toward Mira “You little Omega scared to attack the one that had made her human mate’s life miserable when she was here?”
Really?
Frankly, I never believed Mira and her human mate. I thought it was just a thing where she just fell in love with the human and want her to be her mate. Nut hearing or from Brook, I couldn’t help but turn and stare at Mira with my mouth open.
She did not bother to look at me, her gaze was fixed on Brook as if she would attack him anytime soon.
“Her name was…” Her voice made me stare at her as she pretend to think “Her name was Arenza and I also have no idea if she is still alive” Caramel said.
This is just getting too complicated and boring. I was supposed to have killed her from the start and looked for my mate but my foolish instinct made me leave her as here she is, being totally useless and a pin in the butt hole.
I gave a boring growl as I rested my weight on one of my legs, I was about to think of a good thing to do that would not involve me killing The acting Alpha and would have to tell the Alpha king how I suspected that he had my mate. Rules are rules, I can’t just walk Into an Alpha territory and kill him.
That would be the greatest mistake of my life so the next thing I did was mind link Sean.
‘Killing Brook would make the Alpha king punish us’ I said to him ‘Let’s go search for the Luna elsewhere, I am sure we would get to find a reason to kill them another day’.
I heard Sean’s low grumble but when I stared at him, he looked at Mira and I am sure his mind linked her. I just don’t know why I hate Mind linking another woman, I just find it odd.
Walking past Brook, I was well prepared he might be tempted to attack me so I would have the opportunity to strike but he didn’t.
He just stepped aside and let me walk past him.
“Olivia had always told me how much of a coward you are” Brook whispered.
I am sure he wanted me to hear and punch him right in his fucking face but I didn’t. I just walk past him in silence and I thought, none of his human beasty-looking creatures tried to attack me.
It went well until I walked to Olivia and she grinned. I was about to tell her how much of a disgrace she is and how I wished I had never met her but stopped hearing something.
“Arenza said she never wanted to get involved with your kind because a werewolf killed her parents and two brothers four years ago” There was a brief silence.
It was as if Caramel was waiting for someone to do but as nothing happened, she smacked her lips together making a really low but annoying sound.
“How about knowing that the person that had killed your mate’s family was and hung her upside down for three hours was me”.
Shit!
No one would hear such and still be calm. I turned back to see Mira standing in between Sean and me. Since I am now in Brook’s chamber, my fear was for Mira not to attack because I am sure it would be late for me to save her. Sean who stood behind her, gently tapped on her back to maybe ask her to move but she remain still, glaring at Caramel.
Caramel wasn’t even helping matters!
The bitch stood still, right in front of Caramel as if trying to make the girl cry. If it was me, and I was a lady, I would definitely cry.
After I heard all that happened to Rain, been locked up, found naked, no family, tagged cursed, I just hated everything about Alpha Jaxon and Brook and that was why his death didn’t move me. I had expected him to at least not be so cruel to Rain but …. he did want me to have he so I would kill her.
‘That broke my heart’ Mox said.
It really did.
I know how all that feels and I don’t want Mira to be blinded by revenge so I called her.
“She doesn’t deserve your tears, Mira, let’s go,” I said.
Mira looked at me in silence for a few seconds, I watch her nod once with a sweet smile on her face.
“Thanks, Alpha,” she said.
That doesn’t sound good.
Before I know what was happening, I heard Mira piercing scream and that of Caramel. I wasn’t expecting Brook to flinch until I saw the look of pure terror in his eyes.
“Mate!” He whispered.
Without hesitation, Sean pulled Mira, grabbing her from her waist as he dashed toward the door to Brook’s chamber but it was too late. What I saw was Caramel’s warm heart in Mira’s palm while she had a dagger stuck in her stomach.
