*I follow orders, just as you do.” Giovanni’s eyes concealed just a flicker of pain before he sped off into the night.
I had refused to go back to my Aunt’s house. My heart stung with pain every time Giovanni crossed my mind.
I hated myself for my weakness, and I hated myself for thinking there could be a happy ending. The moment I stepped into my car; the tears fell freely from my face. I had cried the entire drive home, silently demanding answers from the Moon Goddess. The tears returned with a vengeance when my pleas went unanswered.
I would spend my nights alone, drowning in my own emotions as I tried to resist my forbidden mate. During the day I would throw a mask on for the world, one that was being kept together by tape and glue. I summoned what strength I could, hiding my pain from everyone.
What hurt me the most was keeping it from Daisy. Daisy of all people would understand. She wouldn’t hate me for what I had done, nor would she expect me to reject Giovanni. She was the one person I could go to, and yet I couldn’t force myself to tell her the truth.
I hadn’t seen Giovanni in days, yet it felt much longer than that.
Mason and I had gone through with Daisy’s plan, sneaking from our houses in the middle of the night. My heart hammered nervously as Mason and I waited alongside the training building. Mason was picking at his fingers, the two of us listening in on Daisy through the mind-link.
My heart dropped when I realized the Vampire that had marked Daisy was there, Tristan. I could hear Scott’s voice through the mind-link, making my blood boil. I had never liked that coward.
A strangled gasp left my lips as Daisy repeated the names of Tristan’s Vampire friends.
Giovanni
How many Vampire’s named Giovanni were there? My head clamored for an answer, but my heart knew the truth. This was what Giovanni was speaking of. The Vampires had a plan for Daisy and this pack, one Giovanni was heavily involved with.
After calling Alpha Nolan, Mason and I ran around to the back of the packhouse. Alpha Nolan darted outside; half dressed with eyes full of sleep. He said nothing to us, his eyes burning with fury.
The fear rolling through me had nothing to do with Alpha Nolan. My fear concerned Giovanni. Alpha Nolan shifted and leaped into the forest, taking off after Daisy. I was the second to shift, using all my force to propel myself forward. I could hear Mason’s heavy footfalls behind me as I desperately tried to catch up to Alpha Nolan.
Alpha Nolan bounded into the clearing, knocking into Tristan roughly.
Giovanni locked eyes with me, the bond making him able to notice me in wolf form. His eyes burned intelligently as they stared into my own. I forced myself to look away, to do anything else.
Mason and I leaped into the clearing as Tristan darted away. Giovanni was next to follow, bounding into the woods without a second glance. My heart ached at the sight, my legs moving on their own.
My wolf had more control when we were in this form, and she was determined not to let Giovanni get away.
My legs burned with agony as I chased after Giovanni. His scent swirled in my head, and I let it lead me as I ran. I skidded to a halt, kicking up dirt and grass in my attempt to stop.
Giovanni was leaning against a tree, his eyes hard. His arms were crossed as he stared at me. I wanted to shift but remained still in fear he would dart away. A low whine left my lips, one that seemed to thaw Giovanni’s icy exterior.
*I cannot speak with you this way.” Giovanni murmured, his eyes running over my walf-form.
I walked behind one of the trees, letting my fur sprout back into my body. Keeping my eyes on where Giovanni stood, I walked over to one of the trees. Many of the tree’s in our woods had colored markers. These were the places clothes were set out incase they were needed.
I slipped on a pair of loose sweatpants and threw a white t-shirt over my head. My heart fluttered painfully as I realized Giovanni hadn’t left, he had waited for me.
*Alpha Nolan Desmond has Scott in his possession, I assume?” Giovanni questioned.
I figured it couldn’t hurt to answer his question, so I answered honestly.
*He does.” I nodded.
Giovanni grunted, frustration flashing in his eyes.
“You don’t have to do this.” I shook my head, “You could just come with me=”
*Come with you?” Giovanni scoffed, “And then what? I would be murdered for my involvement, murdered for what
“I am.”
“I wouldn’t let that happen.” I shook my head, my throat constricting as my heart ached in my chest. “Daisy would help us, she’d understand.”
“The half-blood might understand, but she would never accept us.” Giovanni’s gaze became detached, that same echo of pain flickering in his eyes.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I wondered how much pain a person could take. My heart felt dead in my chest, sharp pains radiating through out my body.
For once the part of me that wanted a happy ending fell silent. I was left with nothing, just a hollow feeling in my chest. I felt resentment towards Giovanni. Resentment mixed with desire; anger mixed with sorrow.
*I Breyona, reject you Giovanni, as my mate.” My voice was hollow, my wolf howling and my heart aching as I uttered the words that would sever the bond.
Giovanni took a step back, as if my words were a physical strike against his skin. The mask on his face cracked, giving in to the whirlwind of emotions he felt.
Anger, regret, longing, despair.
He hid it so much better than I, but he was feeling the same emotions. He wanted me as badly as I wanted him. I couldn’t blame him for not wanting to try. I was unwilling to abandon my people; how could I expect him to do the one thing I could not?
*Accept my rejection.” I choked out, blinking back the tears that threatened to leave my eyes.
Giovanni stood silent, an echo of pain flitting across his features. Giovanni backed away from me, moving deeper into the forest.
“Reject me, Giovanni!” The words tore from my chest in a painful yell.
Giovanni gave me one last look, one filled with everything h e knew he couldn’t have. He turned and darted into the forest, leaving me broken and confused.
He hadn’t accepted my rejection. The mate-bond was still growing stronger.
Alpha Nolan’s P.o.v
I reluctantly let Daisy leave the house, hoping she would somehow manage to stay out of trouble.
The moment Daisy left the house, I traveled down to the cells to speak with Scott. I was forced to use the holding cell’s in this pack, missing the ones in my own desperately. The holding cells in this pack were pitiful in comparison. Silver bars and dirt walls were all that kept prisoners in line. It was obvious these cells were rarely used. The cell bars were rusting, the smell of damp earth surrounding us.
I had brought my Beta along, hoping the two of us would coax some words from Scott. We had kept
Scott under tight lock and key. Guards monitored his cell constantly, they also injected small amounts of silver into his blood stream. He was kept weak and isolated in hopes his mind would break before his body.
I had visited Scott the night we captured him and saved Daisy. He had refused to speak, demanding he talk to Daisy. The demand sent fury rolling through me. Scott was not in any position to make demands, nor would he speak with what was mine.
Scott had this petty hold over Daisy, claiming they were meant to be together. I had heard the rumors floating around the day after I took control of this pack. The old Alpha had a girlfriend but discovered his true mate in the middle of his relationship.
I walked down to the cells with Beta Devin at my side. Two guards were leaning against the earthen wall, watching Scott through the bars.
“Has he said anything useful yet?” I turned to one of the men, my eyes flickering to Scott’s hunched form.
