I remember my first rampage. Everything was red then too. I remember the panicked feeling. The desperation I felt when I tried to reach out to my mate to find nothing. The pain tore apart my soul when I reached for the small bump to find there was nothing left. It wasn't the first time I had to come to terms with being left behind but it was the final straw. "Were you ever a good person?" I ask him.

"No," he answers honestly. "I started cleaning up my father's***t since I could shift. He wanted Jonas to be the King who took Lycans out of the hole we lived in. He gave him everything. To do that, he had to fix the mess he had created. Jonas doesn't know, but my mother does. She knows everything. It's why she won't banish me. It's the reason why we don't speak of Queen Evangeline. You weren't chosen by chance. That f**ing psychoed him right to you," A roar in the distance has him on his feet. The King appears out of the darkness. He runs into the cemetery in his lycan form. He stops a few feet away taking in the scene. I stand up and dust my bottom before jumping down to go over to him. "If she was an alpha and she hesitated to reject her mate for you, it wasn't a hesitation over what she might have believed in. It was a hesitation on her feelings for you or the position she was to take at your side. Did you offer her the world too?" "She loved me," he growls.

"When you love someone, you don't hesitate. I didn't. My mate didn't. As a wolf, even after a mark is placed on us, we can still reject it. You killed your brother's mate and your niece. You can spin it around any way you want, but the truth will always be the truth. Feral or not. You're a killer and she didn't want you the way you think she did. What you are doing is selfish.

"You don't have the capacity to lead. Your father knew that and he gave you a purpose. It was you who let it break you. You telling me that Lycans deal in wolf trade isn't news to me. I can also care less. In this world, you either serve or you lead," "What do you do?" he scoffs.

serve. I have always served and I will continue to serve until my last breath. Leading is boring. Superficial. There's no fun in being a master. And the funny thing about leaders is that se***s don't need them. They need us. Think about that as you make your next move. I decline your offer, James Prince, Mostly because I know you can't deliver. Partially because I like you. It's not every day two feral beasts can sit and talk like this.

"It would be in your best interest to remember that. I've been alone my entire life-and have been able to fend off his enemies just fine. You're one Lycan.
