Carlos POV

Running.

I was running.

My entire life I had spent it running and hiding.

I had grown as the least favoured son. The reject. The lacky. The one who would never be able to meet up to his father’s expectations or the pack’s because I had the misfortune of being born after my talented brother.

Perhaps that was why I hated my brother who had everything so much.

Perhaps that was why I wanted everything he had, right down to his title and power as Alpha.

But it should be mine. Not his.

He wasn’t even just a werewolf anymore. He was an abomination that needed to be put down.

And I was going to be the one to do it.

I was going to be the one that ruined him.

That was the thought that I has held close to me all these years and now they I had scattered his relationship to that little human, it was time to complete my plan.

I headed straight to the bar where I had been meeting the werewolf hunter boss for the past couple of weeks.

He had been surprised when I had approached him with a plan to ensure his total victory and now that I knew that it was very much possible with he new bit of information that I had, everything was finally falling into place.

I had been complicit in all of the attacks that had happened, hoping that it would push Roma to make a mistake. To slip up.

Never had I imagined that his slip up would come in form of a human woman. Granted, she was beautiful in a way that even werewolves were not, but it didn’t matter. She was going to be his downfall and it brought me immense pleasure that I had waited for this.

I was going to be Alpha of the pack one way or another.

Roma’s time had come to an end.

And everything would fall back into the rightful place.

Aria’s POV

You destroy everything you touch, I had screamed at Roma after he murdered my father in a fit of rage, his hands covered in the b***d of the other men.

Before the police was even called, a cleaning crew who I was sure had been sent by Roma cleared up all of the bodies and Raphael had come with them, to take me somewhere safe.

I had refused, only allowing him to take me to Nicole’s house.

And now I had to be at the mortuary tomorrow to decide what was going to be done to the body.

The police had ruled it as an attack by a gang gone wrong, since those men that had come to collect their debt had apparently come from a gang.

But I knew better. Had watched as Roma broke their fingers and shot them down with their own guns.

I didn’t feel any bit of pity for them. They had been planning to rape me and God knows what when they were done with me.

But as I walked into the building where my father’s body lay, ready to allow them to cremate him, all I could feel was numbness. Not sorrow. Just a place of a feeling.

Like I was stuck in limbo with no way out.

I knew that Roma had always never rated my father and he had stopped the first time because of me.

I knew that my father didn’t even deserve my sympathy and that I should be thankful to the gods that it wasn’t me who would have been forced to finally put him down.

But he was my father.

And there was nothing I could do about the fact that a part of me still grieved for him.

And that part of me still wished that he was a good man. Still remembered when he had been a good man.

As I watched his body be cremated, I finally made my peace with the fact that he was out of my life, hating myself for the relief that I felt that I would not be worrying about him any longer.

I didn’t know whether it made me foolish that I wanted a hug from the last person that I should want to see right now?

Roma killed my father.

So why then did I still want to be with him?

Why then did I want him to tell me that he still loved me after I told him that I didn’t ever want to see him again.

When I stepped out, the last person that I wanted to see was standing in front of his car holding a rose bouquet.

Daniel.

He looked like he was going for a funeral, dressed so formally and when I nodded in greeting at him, turning around to walk away, he stopped me.

“These are for you. I’m not here to hound you, Aria. But I’m your friend and your father was murdered. The least I can do is give you a shoulder to cry on, can I not?” He said, his face dripping with sincerity and it felt nice that someone cared.

That someone other than Nicole was here with me during this trying time. I had turned off my phone so that Sophia and Scott who must have already heard the news would stop calling me.

I didn’t want to think about missing them. I didn’t want to talk to either of them and break down into tears.

Accepting the bouquet of flowers, I let him hold my hand for a bit.

“I have to head to Nicole’s.” I told him and he gestured towards his car.

“Let me take you there. No tricks I promise.” He said and I nodded as he opened the passenger seat for me.

That was the last thing I remembered because when I opened my eyes, I was tied up in what looked like the basement of a house and Daniel was sitting on a chair in front of me.

Wincing in pain at the binds, I looked at Daniel confused and he grinned.

“I didn’t want to have to do this to you, sweetheart. I mean, I’ve been in love with you for a while and I’ve been hoping you feel the same way but that’s by the way. What I need from you is this” He dangled Roma’s necklace in front of me and I looked at my bare neck.

“What do you want with that?”

“The same thing my father wanted before he was slaughtered by your lover, sweetheart. The death of all werewolves. Carlos was really instrumental in informing me of how this necklace was very important in finally replaceing the pack hidden in the mountains with strong magic. You see, all our attacks have always been in the woods. We never seemed to replace the strong hold. But now we can. And I will. Tonight. A shame I had to kill Carlos. He should not have sold out his brother to a werewolf hunter. He probably forgot the first rule of being a werewolf; to never trust the hunters. Or was it the second rule?”

My face paled in horror at all of this information and before I could respond, Daniel planted a k**s on my lips.

“We’ll be together once all of this is over, my love. You’ll forget about that Alpha. I promise”

I could only look at his back as he locked the door and knew that we were all in trouble.
