least my bad humour was still intact.

“Yes, Peter?” I mocked his uncertainty, and heard someone laugh.

“Considering we don’t have any uh… female clothes with us, I hope you don’t mind but I took your dirty ones down to the river and tried to wash out as much blood as possible. Would you like them?” he asked warily, I got out of the tent to face him as he handed them to me.

“Yes, thank you so much.” I grabbed them out of his hand with a smile, “Finally, a gentleman” I could feel Ace’s sudden eyes on me from behind me, only widening my smile more. I turned to meet his eye daggers that he was shooting at Peter, clearly jealous. I cleared my throat and stood in his way, knocking him out of his little attempt at burning the guy with his eyes. I studied my surroundings, this time in daylight, there was the giant rock and its little indent we had slept in. To have any kind of peace when changing, I realised I’d have to go onto the other side of the rock. I started my way around bumping Ace’s bare shoulder as I went. “No one wins that easily, buddy” I whispered on my way past.

When I couldn’t see the camp or the guys, I dropped my guard. Putting the pants on first under the giant shirt, as they would be my only bottom half coverage. Then ripping off Ace’s shirt of as fast as possible before I decided to keep it on me forever. Once I was done I smoothed Jay’s old shirt over my boobs and was happy with the outcome of my look. Despite my fashion statement being one of the last things someone should worry about in the current situation, it didn’t hurt to look good.

I walked back around with my hand following the smooth rock. But I stopped just before I appeared on the other side, hearing a whispered conversation that I most likely wasn’t supposed to hear. I toned in to hear better.

“She is. It’s the only explanation.” I heard Ace sigh,

“And this appeared with a flash at your tent this morning, I think it was addressed to her by you know who.” Peter whispered as he handed some kind of paper by the sound of its crumple. Ace cursed.

“I don’t know if you realise it yet, Ace, but if we do take her back there’s no doubt she’ll know everything and will most likely stay there.” What in the hell are they talking about? The ‘she’ they talked of had to be me, unless any of their pack mates had a magical overnight gender swap. I needed to see this paper, whatever it was, it was important enough for them to want to keep it from me.

I stalked around the corner pretending I’d just finished getting changed, “What’s up boys?” I asked casually, My eyes stuck immediately to the paper in Ace’s hands. Before I could even ask what it was he shoved it down his pants in an attempt to hide it and deter me. Too bad I’d spent part of my free years in a share house with 5 guys – a move like that wouldn’t faze me – he was grinning as if he’d won, but boy was he wrong.

I started stalk towards him, making the deepest eye connection possible, letting my determination show as I reached centimetres from him.

“Nice try” I gave him as I smiled and continued staring into his shocked eyes, you messed with the wrong girl. Keeping the eye focus on his amethyst eyes, I shoved my hand straight down the front of his pants and ripped out the paper. He was shocked, and speechless, Well-deserved. I thought as I un-crumpled it and stared at the poster before me.

Now I was the speechless one. My smile drooped down into a frown, and rage started to take over. But then I remembered what happened when I got this mad, something I wanted to hide from Ace. My black veins. I felt them thumping to emerge, but I couldn’t let them, I didn’t want Ace to look at me like everyone who had seen them had. Like I was a monster.

“Tell me everything.” I angrily ordered, staring back at Ace, this time with hatred. “Now!” I growled, “No more lying to me, no more secrets, who are you and why do you think you could hide this from me?” I was enraged and I was focusing it all on him. I was becoming attached to the idiot, I realised it now. I’d trusted him. And like every god damn time, I put my trust in the wrong people.

“It’s hard to explain” Ace began trying to make eye contact, but I wouldn’t let him. I wouldn’t look into the eyes of the deceiver, ever again.

“Does it look like I care how bloody hard it is for you to explain? I need answers now, and then I need instructions, real instructions, back to the Prince’s house because clearly I can’t trust you people!” I could feel Ace’s pain from here. But I still didn’t dare look at him.

“Before I tell you anything, we must discuss a different matter. Come with me” he started to go back around to where I’d gotten changed. He had the nerve to order me around like that. I’d never met somebody who could frustrate me so easily and so much. I hastily followed and joined him.

“I need you to tell me what this feels like to you” he said, quickly wrapping his arm around my waist from behind me and pressing his body into mine. Was this some kind of joke? What is with this guy?

“What the hell do you think you’re doing? Are you even taking me serious right now? I’ll tell you how I feel,” I growled as he wrapped his arm tighter, “I feel like I could rip your head off right now and be done with this madness. I need to leave now, I am not your prisoner, this was not part of our deal!”
“I am taking you serious, Lana! Tell me how you feel, please” His breath down my neck, a feeling I used to enjoy, but now I was just more alarmed by how much control he thought he had. I’d done this before, I could take him down right now. I grabbed his arm and twisted it with all my might and thrusted him onto the ground, dirt and debris flying from his surprise.

“You messed with the wrong girl mate.” I said, seeping venom into my voice.

“No,” he said quietly, “I messed with the right one. Lana, I’ll let you go, but promise me one thing.”  He sighed and took a deep breath. “Promise me you won’t forget me.” I stopped applying pressure to keep him on the ground. The sincerity in his voice told me he wasn’t lying about letting me go, but his request was something I didn’t understand. “if you go north, you should be on the right track, you’ll find you know the way if you know your friend well enough.” he said, defeated, lying on the ground.

I said nothing. I had nothing to say to him. He agitated me, pulled my strings, lied to me and tried to control me, all whilst I thought I could trust him. That was it for me. I left him on the ground, and began walking where my instincts told me to. I wasn’t going to listen or trust his directions. The only person I would trust, was me.

Chapter 33 >> Randy's view

 

I didn’t know how everybody could so easily ignore the past events of this week. But I guess the wedding of their Prince and the appearance of their beloved King must have brainwashed them all. It infuriated me that they all still trusted me, especially the Prince, after I told him of his Father’s unfair punishment he still did not seem to care. Kade walked up to me, Julie hanging at his arm.

“I want to thank you again, Commander Randy. For bringing my Julie back” he said, clearly drunk on love.

“No need” I lied, “I can only thank you,” and speak of the devil, “and the King for your kindness” the big fat traitor stumbled in.

“So you should be, Commander, you are lucky for the title my son has given you.” He grumbled, I hid my anger. If I ever got have the chance to leave that man in a ditch I would, I would leave him there forever. My train of thought was interrupted, as the grand ballroom was ripped from my interest and I stared out at the open stained glad windows. I faintly smelt blood, familiar blood. Blood of the wolf pack who lives on the other side of the woods. If the King so much as smelt his blood as well, there was no doubt the alpha Mayson and his pack would die. I turned to Kade, “I’m just going out for a quick patrol, I’ll be back in a second. Just wanting to check.” He nodded approval and I headed for the door quickly. The breeze welcomed me as I continued walking towards the scent, I breached the entrance to the woods that surrounded the mansion, and stopped. If I could breathe, I would breathless right now. I stared at the wolf in front of me, but it was not Mayson or his pack. It was Lana, her scent had been covered in the blood-stained clothes she wore. The blood of Mayson and his pack.

“How did you…?” I was speechless, she had escaped whatever Olivia had planned. And not only escaped but, for some reason, murdered the whole of Mayson’s pack.

“It’s a long story” she huffed, “Mayson, the alpha and his little shit storm crew paid Olivia for me. He wanted to have some kind of ‘successful’ babies with me. But it’s okay because they’re dead.” She panted, there was no way she could have walked all the way from Mayson’s den to here. Could she?

She lent on a tree, panting faster, “What’s not okay, is your Prince thinking he has my blessing” She yelled. And it echoed. Loud enough for everyone inside the house to hear. Oh no.

“You have to get out of here, Now! If you want to live” I ushered her, but she didn’t move, instead her eyes filled with a burning hatred. Her veins turning black. I knew I stood no chance.

“You left me to die. You have no right to order me around, no one does.” She growled.

“I understand your mistrust, but please, I can’t see you die at the hands of- “

“Me!” a familiar voice broke me off, and my hope faded. He was here already.

“I don’t care who you are, buddy, no one-“ she growled, this wasn’t going to end well.

“I am the King of Vampires, wolf, and the only thing wrong here is you, living.” I could hear the rage in his voice, and knew exactly what was going to happen now. I couldn’t stop him. He was going to go green in his eyes, and snap her in half.

“And I’m the Queen of I’m gonna kick your ass” she retorted heading towards
