Fated To Roman: The Almighty Alpha
Forty-Five

Romans POV

Leaving Cleo at the hospital I raced back to the pack house. The moment Cleo said her name I felt sick. How could none of us have noticed. We had all spent time with her, so I felt embarrassed to not have even suspected her. My wolf had always been able to spot evil a mile away. She had fooled us all. And to make matters worse my mother asked my fathers to give her a chance and how did she repay her? Orchestrating her death.

Several speed cameras flashed as I made my way through the centre of town but right now, I couldn't care less. It was late so it's not like kids would be running around and if I hit an adult they should have looked. Pulling up I took a deep breath knowing what I was about to do would hurt someone I loved. Someone that deserved the best of the best and not to be used or manipulated by some sadistic evil bitch.

As I threw the door open, I could hear the sounds of giggling followed by the high-pitched squeal of my nephews. Something which instantly drew my attention. Layla pecked Lewis on the cheek before making her way over to where I stood. I knew she was getting ready to head back to the Gemstone Pack and hated that this would change everything for even her. There was no chance she would miss the chance to bring someone that had a hand in killing the woman that raised her.

"I was going to call you once we hit the road. Lewis and I are about to take the boys back because they have school in the morning, and I need to get ready for the arrival of... Ro... Roman what's wrong?"

"Nothing, get the boys home and I'll talk to you later. Drive safe ok."

"Ro talk to me! There's no way you wouldn't be in that hospital by your mates side if there wasn't something wrong!"

Looking at the boys as they played paper scissors rock in the back of the minivan I told Layla everything. Her face as always went bright red, something that only happened if she was fucking livid. Her eyes flashed black as a snarl tore through her. Dropping her bag to floor she turned to walk back into the pack house. Hearing the growl that escaped his mate Lewis was quick to her side.

"Lewis get the boys home; there's something my brother and I need to take care of." Without saying another word, we walked shoulder to shoulder into the pack house leaving Lewis wondering what was going on.

Ideally, we needed a plan, but we didn't have the time. This bitch had been here all this time and meddled with the wrong god damn family. Storming to Kai's office I pushed the door open.

"Woah! Ever hear of knocking!" I could see his lips move but my eyes were fixed on her that was until Layla barged past me and straight for her prey.

Layla grabbed Kaylee by the hair and dragged her across the room and out of the office. Kai jumped from his seat attempting to launch at our sister in aid of his Luna until Lewis stepped out of nowhere and into his path. “Layla what the fuck let her go!" Kai's voice laced with both anger and confusion as he pushed past Lewis.

"What's going on?" Hearing the commotion our fathers appeared standing in the doorway to the library with Elder Johnathan at their side.

"Are you going to tell them or arm I!" Everyone present could taste the venom in the air as Layla bought Kaylee's face closer to hers, her grip on her neck tightening. I expected Kaylee to flinch but nothing. There was no look of fear on her at all.

"Tell them what? I don't know what you're talking about your crazy bitch!" Snarling Layla's claws extended piercing into Kaylee's flesh.

"She isn't your mate Kai she's the daughter of Hades! She's Cleo's half-sister." Turning to look my brother in the eye I could see his wolf stirring.

It didn't take an idiot to see he thought we were lying. He had marked and mated this woman. He had felt the sparks of the mate bond the moment they first touched. Something I knew all too well was hard to ignore. The only difference being the sparks he felt weren't real. They were manufactured, conjured by a witch in a scheme to control one of the strongest wolf packs in America.

Kai shifted launching for Layla only for Lewis to shift and attack. His wolf was no match for my brothers but that wasn't going to stop him defending his mate. As Kai's Wolf rendered Lewis unconscious, he made a beeline for our sister. Seeing our brother on the warpath she threw Kaylee to the ground shifting into her own wolf.

Whilst Kai and Layla were distracted Kaylee thought she was going to escape but she was fucking wrong. This bitch knew where my daughter was and only when she told me would I end her life. Cleo's POV

Roman wasted no time in exiting the hospital and who could blame him. His new sister-in-law wasn't at all who she claimed to be.

Seeing Roman gone the nurse entered my room and began to check my wounds. I didn't need for her to update my progress because I could feel Freya coming too. The more she awoke the more I healed. The nurse offered me pain relief to help as my skin fused itself back together, but I refused. I needed to see if I could connect to my pup again and to do that, I would need a clear head. Medication would only fog my mind.

Closing my eyes and letting myself drift I found myself standing beside her. The moment my eyes landed on her my heart broke. She laid there so peacefully not knowing the danger she was in. She didn't have much hair but for a few ginger curls. Thinking back to my own baby pictures she resembled each one. She was beautiful beyond anything in this world and seeing her know I wanted to hold her and never let her go. It was then I vowed to shelter her from all the evil this world contained once she was back home safe and sound.

Prying my eyes from her sleeping form I glanced around the room. There were no windows so I couldn't tell where she was. Leaving her side, I walked around the room trying to replace something, anything that could give me some form of clue.

"Ah, ah, ah! That's cheating." Spinning around Hades sat in the corner. Had it not been for his piercing blue eyes I wouldn't have seen him as he sat hidden in the shadows. Before I got to ask how he could see me I felt him force me out and back to where me physical form laid.

Now I had seen my pup I needed her back more than ever. Gritting my teeth, I swung my legs over and out of the bed before trying to stand. My legs were like jelly, and it felt as though the room was spinning but I couldn't give up. My daughter was in danger, and I had to replace her.

Gripping the black duffel bag that sat in the chair beside my bag I opened it up hoping there would be some clothes inside. Thankfully there were some joggers, a t-shirt and a training bra. Stripping myself of the nighty I wore I couldn't contain the whimper that left me.

"Oh Goddess, Cleo what are you doing?" Hearing my painfilled cry the nurse from before came running into the room. "What does it look like?"

"Sweetheart you need to be in bed." I pushed her fussing hands away as she tried to coax me back into bed.

"What I need is to get dressed and replace my daughter. You can either stand there and watch or you can be my saviour and help me!" A look of sympathy flashes in her eyes before she looked over her shoulder and back to me.

"Fine, but you'll need some of these." Confused I watched as she pulled some small round pads from the bedside draw. "Your milk will be coming in any moment and you don't want to be walking around with two wet patches on your top." Taking my bra from the bag she pulled the plastic off the backs before sticking them into the cups.
