He wants me to go and listen to what his father is talking about, I feel that it is a trap. That he wants to get me killed, so he can have Lilly all to himself. I don't blame him, she is perfect, I would want to get rid of any competition also.

As I get closer to his father, I notice that the rouge we were chasing approaches him and bowls down to him. Anger begins to fill my body, knowing that he has something to do with all that has happened, but why.

He looks at the rouge, “did you accomplish what needed to be done, did you kill that she wolf and her mate that betrayed me.”

“Of course there is no way of them surviving, but your son came after us and a she wolf I'm not sure her name they killed Tony. There was one other wolf that was there, I forget his name, but I know that he was supposed to be dead.”

“So did everything go as planned? Did Landon follow you out here, did you lead him away from his pack?”

“Of course I did, he was so blinded that he and that other wolf are still looking for me As we speak.”

Then I hear Landon's mind link “It was all set they wanted to lead us away from the pack so they can finish them." I then realize that it was all a set-up. And Landon is just now figuring it out, I want to go back to check on Lilly, but I also want to know what the fuck is going on. I am stuck as my paws become heavy, wanting to stay to find out the reasoning behind the attacks.

“Where is my son now, he should have caught up to you by now?”

“I must have lost him and his friend, surprising, especially with them being Aphals you think they would be able to keep up.”

“The other wolf was an alpha?”

“I think, so his wolf was huge and all black. I would say he was a little bigger than your son's wolf.”

“Well it's a good thing that his pack was left defenseless since I ordered all to be killed, there shouldn't have been a problem for them.”

What the fuck why he is trying to wipe out all the packs that surround him, he doesn't have the power to do so. There has to be something more to do with all of this. Knowing that Lilly is still alive since our bond hasn't been broken, thanking the heavens it is still in place, I know that she is still alive. I want to gather more information about what is happening.

“The pack should be completely wiped out once Lance and Melvin get back here to confirm, then we can move on to the next part of our plan.”

I need to rush back to see what has happened. I am praying that Landon's pack did not get wiped out. There are innocent women and children that are defenseless. He doesn't have as many warriors like most packs have. Because of his pack being so small, I probably have as many warriors as he has pack members.

I hate that Lilly's loyalty is in him, but at least he has been better to her than I have been. I can tell that she likes him, which makes me furious. I could allow his pack to be wiped out. Then I could have Lilly all to myself without any competition. Knowing that there are innocence, I can't just not help. That would make me a monster to just let all of them to die when they did nothing wrong.

As I'm approaching Landon's territory, the smell of blood is overwhelming. I then hear Lilly as she mind links me: Ivan, please help Landon. I look over the pack, trying to find him. Once I see him, I rush over to him, I rip the throats out of the wolves that are attacking him.

After helping Landon, I run over to Lilly, as I see her wounds I become scared. She then grabs my hand to reassure me and says, "Ivan I'm okay, but I need you to do me a favor and finish these mothers fuckers.” I'm amazed she is not showing that she is in any kind of pain. I'm shocked by my mate and then realize how much I misjudged my mate.

We then helped each other wipe out the rest of the intruders that attacked his pack. Shocked that Landon's dad could be so cold to kill the innocent. I know that our packs need to come together as one. And just figure out the Alpha stuff later, knowing right now we need each other more than anything.
