“I don’t feel good about this,” Perseus mumbled after we bid our mate goodbye. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Not only did I not feel good about sending my mate away when I wanted to have her in my sight every second of every day, I actually felt terrible.
…I hate you!
Those words she screamed at me haunted me till now. I knew she didn’t mean them, that she had uttered them in the heat of the moment, feeling hurt and betrayed that I went behind her back to plan this after I promised to never hide things from her. I knew all this but the words still stung.
‘Cahir, are you sure this is the best choice?‘ Perseus asked, a gloomy cloud hanging around him as our
mate went away.
‘It would be unwise to keep her shackled to our side at this point. I mumbled. ‘Greyson will attack in a few days and it’s best she isn’t caught in the crossfire because I selfishly held on to her.‘
It would be good to get things done and over with as soon as possible so I could have a peaceful life with my mate and baby. I had to eliminate the threats to my family so they would have a
peaceful life without me thinking of those plotting against me. This time, I had to wipe out the enemies and their families. They may grow strong again in a few years but before then, I would enjoy relative peace and quiet with my babies.
‘We should have taken her to the temple ourselves,” Perseus mumbled. The withdrawal hit him harder than me. ‘I don’t like that we sent her alone.’
‘She’s with Aristo and the guards. They will protect her with their lives. I fell into my seat, staring blankly at the files heaped on my desk. It was late at night and I should sleep, but how could I sleep in a cold and empty bed after months of sharing Sihana’s warmth?
‘Aristo,’ Perseus mumbled and my skin prickled. “That wolf is up to something.
‘He is always up to something.‘ Aristo was a brat who lived recklessly and on the edge. Even now while the pack prepared for battle, he still went about as he liked. He didn’t give this pack his hundred percent and I overlooked it most of the time but it had become difficult to overlook these days.
….You have everything I want.
Those words which he let slip still pricked my skin.
‘Do you think he would be stupid enough to betray me I asked my wolf, propping my elbow on my desk.
‘Yes. The answer came immediately. ‘The way he looks at my mate – Perseus let out a small growl.
Shall I pluck out his eyes?‘ I snickered but a deep longing to do just that flashed through me.
When had I started to look at my beta as someone other than my best friend? Someone to be guarded around? Right, the minute I found my mate and my beta’s eyes kept wandering to her.
He was a pervert with a dick that got hard for anyone in a skirt but would he betray me for mine?
‘Yes, Perseus answered my thoughts. ‘Aristo wasn’t always the most respectful but these days his disrespect is hard to take, no matter how hard he tries to pass them off as jokes!
‘He knows he is replaceable. I’ll give him one last chance for old times sake, a gift from an Alpha to his Beta. It’s up to him to decide whether he wants to live or die Left for Perseus, the eyes of anyone that dared to look at his mate should be plucked but Aristo, despite his whorish ways and mounting disrespect, was an efficient enough Beta.
The temple was four hours away so I waited for the call that would tell me they’d arrived safely but when four hours passed without a word, it was right that my heart felt uneasy – more uneasy than I felt when she left my side.
I was about to call my Beta when my phone rang, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. I picked up, thinking it would be one of the guards I sent with her but the voice that filled my ear when I picked up was familiar yet irritating,
“A–Alpha,” the man stammered. “They’re taking her somewhere else? My heart stuttered and a metallic taste filled my mouth. I’d bitten into my lips. “Track this device’s location and be careful who you bring along. You don’t know who is in league with the Beta.”
‘Betrayal, Perseus whispered and I burst into laughter. Cahir, he growled. ‘Cahir Armani, he shouted but I could not stop laughing.
[That bastard.] Voices thundered in my head and I laughed harder. [I should not have spared him. I will ruin him.]
‘Cahir, don’t you dare slip!‘ My wolf screained in my head but his words were drowned out by the demons I kept a tight leash on. The demons she kept at bay for me.
“I am fine,” I said into the room. “I just have to make a call.”
… He said there is a strong power in Alpha Blood backing them.”
“Alpha Kade,” I said once the person picked up.
“Who – What? Alpha Cahir? At this time?” He stuttered.
“I will send you a number, call it and track the line. They have my mate.”
“What? Sia?” He became alert. “How come? You bastard, you were supposed to protect her!”
“Be quick.”
“Hey, you know I am in a precarious position in my pack. How are you sure –” I ended the call.
The techies in Alpha Blood were the most sophisticated in the world but one of them may be a spy for my beta.
I took my keys and got out of the pack house, getting into my car. I didn’t know where I was driving to but I drove, my knuckles white on the steering. My phone rang and I picked up before the second ring.
“I’m sending you the coordinates – Are you on your way already?” He sounded surprised. “Wow, you were
able to mobilize in such a short time?”
“I am going alone.” I clicked off the call and inputted the coordinates into my phone map. It was an
wed,
obscure area but I knew it. Where would I not know on my land?
It took an excruciatingly long time to get to the location and every time I tried to reach my mate, I was met with vast darkness in which I could not find the threads that bound us together. When I finally did, it was sloppy to grasp, almost impossible to, but I held on until I reached her and established a connection.
Fear and panic washed over me like an ice bath. There were so many things I wanted to say but the words that spilt out were just a few to reassure her and then the connection was gone shut even within me closing it.
‘Cahir, Perseus called in a quiet voice. ‘Don’t listen to them. We will get our mate back without them.
[Keep quiet.]
Perseus said so many things but I shut him out. An addicting calmness had spread over me, taking away my worry, my anxiety and anger, leaving me with peace and tranquillity. It was like a drug, one that I relished.
‘Cahir!‘ I shoved Perseus out again.
I found the place after many twists and turns and then I parked my car and jogged the small distance from the entrance in two minutes and to the demons, I said, “Let’s go.”
These demons I kept on a tight leash but this time, I took a breath and let go of the control. A shift was forced on my body and my wolf’s eyes glowed an eerie gold. I got to the entrance and I counted three men at the gate. I sniffed the place and noted there were about fifteen to twenty wolves inside, excluding
my mate.
[Let’s kill them all.]
The things that happened after that were a blur for me. My body moved with cold stealth and I laughed, the sound coming out as happy howls. I’d gone quiet as the massacre happened.
They fell by my hands but I could not remember any faces – I didn’t see any faces, just lives that could be cut short with my claws and canines.
My body lifted off the ground as I jumped, the movement slick as I met a wolf shifting midair. It fell to the ground as I ripped its throat open.
Why did I ever resist? Why had I ever tried to fight this This was who I was a bloodthirsty monster. I never felt freer than when I had blood coating my fingers, when I held a life in my hands in one minute and then snuffed it in the next. It was then I really felt like the most powerful man on earth – the ruthless Cahir Armani.
More people came at me as I proceeded deeper and deeper into the bunker but if a hundred men came at me, a hundred men would fall.
With a meticulous coldness, I slashed throats open, ripped jaws apart, broke bones and tore out chunks of flesh from the wolves rushing at me. They all had a smell – they smelt like pack. Pack
should be family but these ones stank of treachery.
[Alpha Blood is full of ungrateful wolves. Enemies that deserve to die in the worst way.] The voices
thundered.
Different desires warred inside me. I could run out now and take down every living thing around me,

bathe in their blood, but a delicious scent pulled me deper and deeper into the bunker. The scent was more addictive than the scent of blood calling me from outside,

“Cahir »” I entered the room to see a familiar man A, my Beta, he had a gun but when he saw me, he froze. “What the

If I reached out at the right time as he tried to run past, I could have snagged him, pulled his head off his shoulders, but the woman who carried that scent collapsed.
[She’s perfect.]
