« Don’t touch those. They are made out of silver. » I warned.

Blondie chuckled. « Alpha Ace of the Luna Pack. Pleasure meeting you. »

I scoffed as I crossed my arms. « What pleasure ? You guys are trying to take over my pack. »

Blondie froze and looked up at Zylen.

Zylen growled and looked away from him.

« Well I would mindlink Deacon and tell him about finding my mate here, but someone injected me with something. » Blondie growled. « What is it anyway ? »

« Wolfsbane. » Zylen said harshly.

Blondie’s eyes went wide. « Why the hell would you do that ? »

« Calm down. » Zyeln growled. « It’s not going to harm you. It’s just a small enough dosage to make you not shift and also so you can’t use the mindlink. »

Blondie sighed. « Well. I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Gabriel. Beta of the Dark Knight Pack. »

« I’m Zylen. Beta of the Luna Pack that you guys are trying to kill ! » Zylen yelled as she clenched her fists.

Gabriel flinched and sunk down to the ground. « I’m sorry. »

« You better fucking be. » Zylen said as she crossed her arms.

‘Alpha Deacon is coming your way !’ Colby yelled. ‘He found out you captured his Beta !’

« Zylen we have to go ! » I yelled as I faced her. « He’s on his way here. »

« Come on then. I can deal with him later. » Zylen said as she grabbed my hand.

Once we got out of the cellar, we both shifted into our wolves and headed face on to Deacon.

‘Everyone ready ?’ I asked as I pushed my wolf farther.

I heard growls in the distance and I knew my pack was ready to defend their land.

Nothing makes me prouder.

As I was coming up to the other pack, I smelt something wonderful.

Forest trees, oranges, and something else that I couldn’t put my finger on.

I shrugged and pushed the smell to the back of my mind.

I heard a growl and I knew that it belong to Deacon.

‘He’s going down !’ Zylen growled as she pushed her wolf farther as well.

I watched amazed as a giant white with a silver sun above its left eye jumped at me while baring his teeth.

I growled and lunged for him as well.

Right before we were about to touch, I stared him in the eye.

The white wolf’s eyes went wide and dodged so he wouldn’t hit me.

‘Mate.’ Ava whispered as I landed on the ground, not facing the white wolf. ‘Alpha Deacon is my mate.’

‘Oh no.’ I whispered as I slowly turned around to face him.

‘Ace ?’ Zylen asked through the link. ‘What’s going on ?’

The white wolf shifted and in its spot stood a naked Deacon.

I quickly looked away and I heard some shuffling.

« You ? » Deacon asked shocked.

I took that as sign to look at him.

I mentally prayed that he had shorts on.

« Y-you’re my mate. » Deacon said in a whisper.

The members of both packs who didn’t shift, stood there and gasped.

I turned around and jogged to a tree.

After I shifted back, I took some time putting my clothes on.

‘What are we going to do ?’ I asked Ava.

‘I-I don’t know. He’s mean Ace. We can’t be mates with him ! He was going to take our pack out !’ Ava yelled.

And right there, I got mad all over again.

I growled and stalked my way back to him with my fists clenched.

« Mate. » He smiled as I walked up to him.

I growled and slammed my fist into his face.

His members growled as he fell to the ground holding his nose.

One of his members ran at me, but Zylen tackled him to the ground and growled in his face.

« I’m going to pretend that didn’t happen little mate. » Deacon said calmly as he stood back up. « I will give you a chance to apologize. »

« Fuck off. How’s that for an apology ? » I growled.

Deacon’s eyes turned black and he stepped forward so he was right in front of me.

He bent down to my eye level and narrowed his eyes at me.

« Is that anyway to talk to your mate ? » He asked with a slight growl.

« It is when you tried to wipe out my pack ! » I growled as I slammed my fist into his gut.

Deacon let out an ‘oof’ and he bent over and grabbed his stomach.

‘I’ll let you handle this.’ Zylen said as she trotted up to me. ‘I need to go talk to my mate.’

I nodded. « Go talk to him. And you can let him out. »

« Ya. » Deacon huffed as he stood back up straight. « Let my Beta out. »

« That’s what I’m fucking doing. » I said as I turned around.

I gasped as I felt sparks on my wrist and my body being pulled back into a hard wall.

« Let the alpha go ! » Mike yelled.

He and his twin brother got into a fighting stance.

« She’s my mate pup. » Deacon growled.

« Don’t talk like that to my pack. » I spat as I elbowed his gut.

Once I got released, I spun around and drove my foot into his thigh which caused him to fall.

« That’s it. » Deacon growled as he jumped up.

I let out a yelp as he pulled me into him and wrapped his arms around me.

I growled as I struggled to get out of his grasp.

‘This little fucker is strong.’ Ava yelled.

« Let me go. » I mumbled into his chest.

Damn does he smell good.

« Are you going to stop hitting me ? » Deacon asked.

« Maybe. » I said truthfully.

« Mate. » Deacon said in a warning tone.

« Fine. I’ll stop. » I huffed.

Deacon slowly let me go and I pushed him away from me.

« Don’t touch me again. » I growled.

Deacon narrowed his eyes at me and crossed his arms over his chest.

Shit. Those muscles.

« You’re my mate. I’m allowed to touch you. » Deacon said in a ‘duh tone’.

« Well maybe you should have thought about that before trying to attack my pack ! » I yelled as I threw my hands up in the air. « Let’s go. You guys are getting off my land. »

I ignored Deacon and walked with my members to the border line.

« Come on guys. » I heard Deacon mumble as he followed us.

The walk was really awkward.

My fighters kept a close eye on his fighters.

Anyone who got too close to me, my members would growl at them and tell them to back up.
