1. Caught Up In The Moment

KIAN

Another day had passed, and she still refused to drink when I offered her. Her colour was ashy, and I could see the pale blue veins along her skin. Her fangs were longer, I knew she needed to drink or she would die.

On the other fucking hand, Thanatos’s anger was raging; angry at her for her disobedience and angry at m e for my stubbornness. He had to remember that I was not going to bend to his will. I was in charge.

I had left her in my room and posted guards outside my window just in case she tried something stupid again, although she literally had no energy to do anything. She wasn’t even able to talk anymore, but even then, her stubbornness still prevailed. When I had dragged her to my neck, she refused.

It angered me that she dared to defy my will, I hated that she did not yield to me as she should. I knew there was something there because she had allowed me to get close to her back at that lake. Although she had been slightly drunk, she was still in her senses… But now? She resented me, and that fucking pushed me to a dangerous place.

I wanted to break her into submission, but I wondered if she’d die before I was able to.

I was seated in my office; my Beta Luca and my four Deltas were all present. As the king, I broke away from the nom of having one Delta and selected four. It made things a whole lot easier. We were discussing the upcoming summit and arrangements.

“Their quarters have been set up and with those who have issues, we’ve put them apart.” My Delta Ajax said frowning, his chin-length black hair covering one of his eyes.

“Good, we don’t need them ripping each other’s throats out.” Luca added.

“What are we doing with Alpha Cain here?” Corbin, another of my Deltas, asked, looking up.

“He isn’t part of the summit, so he’s not in the fucking equation.” I said darkly.

“Unspoken, but he is one of the strongest… If he wants in, he will be voted in.” Luca added hesitantly.

My eyes flickered for a moment as I looked at him, tilting my head slightly.

Are you questioning who has more power? The Alpha’s at the summit… or me?” I asked.

My voice was calm, yet I felt fear and tension in each one of them. I didn’t need to exude my aura to show them who was the Alpha in the room.

“Of course it is you.”

“Good answer… Cain will have to prove he has a pack that’s one of the strongest in the country to take a seat at that summit, he doesn’t have one.”

The room was silent, I looked at the map that was spread across the large table, gripping the edge. Cain never would. Not as long as I was king.

“We need to make sure that no one is sneaking in from the Oblivion Pass, as there have been some mysterious attacks down that side as well. I’d rather it be dealt with before it becomes a real fucking problem.” I said coldly.

I looked up sharply at Reuban,

 

“Take a small team down there, scour the area and find out what exactly is going on with those attacks. The Alpha of the Ruby Moon Pack has tried to downplay it, I don’t know what he might be hiding but I want you on it.” I said, before glancing at my last Delta.
