“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 though he claimed that they are mates.
Mario and I are best friends. We grew up together. Everyone thought that he will be my Beta but I chose Kayden instead. Kayden possesses the character of being a beta. I can’t make decisions based on 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 of 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 southern border. We found Mario and Melissa but he has many rogues protecting them.’ Kayden reported.
‘Rouges? How come are the rogues protecting him?’ I ask confused.
‘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 altogether. At the back, I saw my sister with Mario. When she sees me, she tried to run to me but Mario grabbed 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 at 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 get hurt by her words. He’s really her mate.
“Melissa listens 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 others 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 a sweet scent hit my nose. I look around to see a rogue girl standing near Mario and staring at me also. Mate! We both said.
Mario hears it and in a just move, his claws move to my mate's 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 and move to my sister.
“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 claws my sister’s heart and I see her small lifeless body falls to the ground. An earth-shaking roar escapes my mouth. All I can see now is red. I want blood. A lot of blood. I just lost my sister and mate's 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 kick 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 with 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 removes from his body. He cries out in pain and that satisfies my wolf. We bite his neck and cut a chunk of it. He limps to the side and shifts 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 onto 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 pains 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's 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's body.” She says.
“You can’t take her away here. You leave alone or you die.”
“You’re cruel. Mario is right, you are a 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 kills his own mate to hurt me? The man who killed 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 lying 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's sister. I don’t want her to 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 brightly 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 pair my sister with a monster. Now I am mateless. 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 is 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 are Melissa's and my favorite hiding place. I use to bring her here whenever I got some 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 are no more tears coming out.
How can you be so cruel to me? Why? Why Moon Goddess?
