am, being Alpha and all, I would’ve turned tail (hahaha) and run. But I’m the leader I don’t get to and honestly my wolf is strong enough that very little affects it. However my wolf was missing its mate so much that I don’t think the gang of scariest, biggest, baddest guys around would’ve scared it away. It was ready to fight, it wanted its other half back, that’s how I knew he really was my mate, and nothing was stopping me and my wolf now. So I took a step forward to him and sized him up.

       “So you must be Alpha male?” I asked him casually, smiling I kind of had to play kiss-ass, I hated it, but choked back the rebuttals. I couldn’t blow this now, I needed them..

He nodded then spoke, “Yes I am. I have to say I am surprised that there is no alpha male to this pack, or at least not presently. And yet you found it alright to contact another pack to help on this mission. I impressed that you’d have the gall to do that.” He nodded his head and the short blond girl behind him laughed.

       “Yeah it’s not everyday that a neighboring territory pack will contact you and ask for help.” She smiled brightly, her voice was clear and bright, like a bell “But I guess if the strongest pack in the world is asking for our help then it must be pretty important….and dangerous.” She added with an evil grin.

       “I supposed that’s true. It’s very important, but of course where we are going is very dangerous, and if there’s anyone who you’re afraid might get hurt then they should stay.” I replied not affected by her bright cheery charming nature. I glanced at Alexia she seemed confused, which heightened my senses of alertness. I was immediately taking count of their pack, checking where they were, how many, what they looked like.

This is something I do naturally anyway, but I couldn’t risk anything right now. I noticed that one male, and tall dark haired boy with a scar across his face was slowly moving out of the clearing. Not enough for most people to notice, but I could see him barely moving, I only assumed to make his move. All this done in a matter of seconds, the man was replying to my earlier statement.

“Well we already took the liberty of leaving some of our pack behind. My mate for example, she with child and there’s no way that’s happening.” He joked as though we were old friends, I smiled hesitantly back at him. Then he stepped forward and reached his hand out, obviously for a handshake, but I was so worked up that I jumped back automatically. He seemed startled, but then grinned,

“Woah now, just wanted to properly introduce myself.” He held out his hand again “My name’s Markus.” I shook his hand, embarrassed that I let my emotions take over like that.

       “Shaniqua” I said as we nearly crushed my hand with his large ones. “Nice to meet you.”

       “I suppose you’ll want to know the rest of my pack.” He began pointing “Tarisha, McKayla, Geoffrey, Steven, Amber, Summer, Daniels, Alan.” Pointing to the ones on his right, then to his left, “Devry, James, Misty, Dustin, Jessa, and Tanner.” I made mental note of who was who, but couldn’t help but notice that when he pointed to where James was supposed to be no one was there. However, I also noticed that Mr. Scar was gone, 2 and 2 equal James.

       I stepped back then began listing off my gang. “Well here we have, Casey my beta, then Jordan my little bro, then Alexia, Braydyn, Destiny, Peter, Erin, Jennie, Ashlyn, Xavier, Stephanie, Corey, and Jake. Then my mate Alex is the one we are going after.”

“So what’s the plan, I mean how do you plan on taking this place down? I’ve never had to deal with the vamps that much. A few tiffs now and then but that’s abo…..”

Suddenly there was a loud screeching snarl sound and out of nowhere a big black animal pounced on Jake. I was stunned, but for barely a second, the whole scene flew into action. I raced to him and sideswiped the thing it lost its balance and stumbled, Braydyn pulled Jake to his feet, luckily he was unharmed. But Markus seemed even madder than I was; he came to attack the thing next. It was somewhat like a panther, but about three times as big with a red stripe down its back. It had wings tucked into its sides; it reminded me of some mythical creature. I made sure Ashlyn was taking care of him as I heard some of the guys shifting, this was no one wolf job. I saw what I assumed to be Markus in wolf form on the creature’s back. The blond that had been standing behind him, Summer, was crouched on the ground with her eyes closed muttering something with her hands outstretched towards the thing. I was already in form, but decided something bigger than a wolf would be needed here and it was tiger again, a little more ferocious.     

I leaped towards the animal and knocked it down on impact. It was surprised, which let me have just a few seconds of time extra, I used them to sink my teeth deep into its neck. It stood, quivered and then fell to the ground with a thud. I saw a black smoke surround it and then I saw that it had shifted, I gasped, though I shouldn’t have been surprised. There, lying on the ground, with blood seeping from gashes in his neck, was James, gasping for breath. I stumbled back after shifting, gasping for breath. Shifting twice in the matter of minutes takes it out of you, plus finding out that one of my own was attacked by this freak-a-dink ass, that’ll top off anyone. I went into a super pissed off rage real quick.   

“What the hell is this?” I practically roared. Everyone in the clearing including Markus, flinched when I yelled in my alpha voice.

“I’m so sorry. This wasn’t m-m-m-y doing I swear; we didn’t mean to b-bet-r-ray you. This was James, I swear it, and s-s-something must’ve set him off. You have to b-b-believe me, Shaniqua. I would n-n-never try to overthrow the MoonBlood Pack.” He was actually trembling; it was obvious this guy was freaked out at the thought of pissing me off. So part of me wanted to believe him, but then part of me said that I wanted an explanation. So I’d give him one chance and that was it, if I found it satisfactory he’d be fine. Otherwise he and his pack would pay for the prank he just tried to pull on me.

“Alright, there’s a part of me telling me to believe you.” He visibly relaxed, but was still tense. “However, I want an explanation and it better be good. Otherwise….” I grinned evilly and he gulped and his pack’s breathing I do believe actually stopped. “So it’s up to you, start talking.”

“Ok” he took a deep breath “James is a little different from the rest of us. He’s not technically one of the pack, we sort of adopted him.” I nodded waiting for him to go on, he looked scared as shit. “He came to us, three years ago. Said his pack was killed, and seemed pretty honest, so me and my mate took him in. He was alright for a while, did what he was told, was a little down and depressed, but we assumed it was because his parents and family were killed. It was about two weeks before he would tell us in detail what really happened.” He glanced at James. “He told us that his pack had been attacked by faery witches They fought and won as the fact, their pack was short of their hunters, from the feed. They had held him and his pack captive and since he was the next in line used him as bait for the hunters, as well as a motive to make his parents do their bidding.”

“They were there four days before the hunters gathered anyone to help attack the faeries, they were extremely powerful at that time. The Silvernight vampires agreed to help in exchange for them to help them gain back their territory that had been taken from them by the faeries. Once the agreement was made, they planned the attack. However wolves never did like vampires and never will, same vise versa. So the vampires planned to backstab them from the  beginning. During the battle the vampires turned and attacked on the faeries’ side.”

“His father came to his rescue, but was killed soon after in the battle, and to add salt to the wound, it was a vamp that killed him. His mother was never found, and in the end only him and two other from his pack survived. He held a personal grudge against all vamps from that point on.”

“Well, that’s quite a story, but I have a question… how did he know Jake was part vampire? Can you answer me that one?” I glanced over at the guys holding him down. Then to Jake who looked pale, but pissed. I knew he’d get his revenge eventually.

“He is not full wolf, only half. He is also part demon shifter, meaning that creature you saw him in. It’s the only other thing he can shift into, and when he’s in that state he is allowing his mind to be taken over by a demon. Meaning his human self doesn’t remember anything after, the last thing it remembers is the searing pain of the demon entering his mind and soul. Once he’s been taken over, it takes a severe amount of  pain to drive it out. Meaning when you sank your teeth into his neck.” He was starting to give valuable info, so I let him go and he stood up.

“So what else is he?” I needed to know everything there was to know about him if he was going to get off with this one. Otherwise I’d just let the guys (Jake) have at him. No one attacks my pack and gets away with it scot free.

“His other part is Sanguine Venator.” I looked at him quizzically.

“Explain please, because I’m pretty damn sure none of us know what the fuck a Sanguine Venator is.” I was a very impatient person when I was angry, I didn’t think that I should have to tell him to explain.

“It just means they are vampire hunters. They have a natural instinct to hunt them. They can be trained out of it as he was being part wolf; his parents didn’t want him hunting vampires. However, the hate he acquired for them brought back all of his natural instincts. He can’t help himself, when he smells the distinct odor of vampire blood; his “other half” takes over. He snaps and attacks whatever has the smell, no matter how miniscule.” He took a deep breath. “At the age he is now, there would be no way to train him out of it now. He was he has become and there is no changing it. We just control him the best we can. I just didn’t think was anyway a wolf could have vampire blood. Otherwise I would have asked before if there would be any threat or worry..”

        There wasn’t much I could say, honestly there was no way either of us could have predicted it. So I couldn’t get mad, but at the same time one of my pack got injured. There had to be consequences I just didn’t know what.

“Ok,  I understand it from your point of view, however one of my pack was injured and there has to be consequences. As well as a way to keep it from happening again, I cannot risk that in any
