"This is what happens when you don't listen to me. You die. Isn't that right Alpha Frottec?" My mate said training his attention back to the head in his hands. He made the head nod and it took everything in me not to throw up.

Clayton laughed and threw the head away. His eyes shown red and he looked at the camera.

"Shows over." He growled and shifted into his bloody black wolf. The last thing the camera recorded was Clayton lunging at it and crashing into it.

The man turned it off and I swallowed the bile in my throat.

"Crazy right? Your Convel sure knows how to kill." He chuckled and I glared at him.

"His name is Clayton." I hissed.

"Not when he loses it. He's Convel." He chuckled softly.

"Why'd you show me that?" I asked and he smirked.

"Fear is the best weapon." He said and laughed, "What would the humans do if they saw that? There'd be no way they'd think wolves were safe. Not that they do now anyways." He chuckled hysterically and sighed.

"You're a disgrace to the wolf kind." I spat and he just cackled.

"Who said I was a wolf?" The man countered and smiled showing long fangs and blood red eyes. He chuckled softly and licked his fangs.

"You're a vampire? What the hell is going on?" I said in confusion, "I thought vampires wanted to help us."

"Oh those traitors helping you mean nothing. They are pathetic; sympathizing a weaker species like you." He said in utter disgust.

"Wolves helped you." I spat.

"Wolves did nothing while my kind were killed off! Only when we were almost wiped out completely did a pack decide to help us! Then we had to go into hiding like rats!" He yelled then chuckled a little.

"Now wolves will know what its like... especially when your little mate throws another one of his tantrums." He smirked and my stomach flipped.

"Why did I feel sparks?" I questioned and he smiled.

"The art of deception my love. Every vampire has a craft they are best at. But don't get me wrong you could be a grand mate. If only you weren't a wolf but I could make an exception for you." He smiled and took my hand in his. I frowned at the sparks.

"Vampires choose their mates Katlyn... You tempt me." He said and brought my hand up to his lips. A shiver ran down my spine and I looked away from him as he gingerly kissed my skin.

"Clayton's my mate." I said softly.

"You're still caught on that mongrel?" He said sounding exasperated.

"That mongrel is my mate and father of my child." I hissed and the man growled.

"Oh yes, I'd almost forgotten... Do you know what a male lion does when it conquers a pride?" He asked and smiled letting go of my hand.

"No." I sighed scowling at him.

A glint formed in his eyes. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and I was once again comforted.

"He gets rid of all the original male's offspring so the females will realize who's in charge." The man said nonchalantly and left the room before his words kicked in.

He was after my baby.

Drew's P. O. V.

I gulped as Clayton rushed through the rooms. Claw marks ran along part of the wall. His eyes glowed red. Everyone had retreated outside and I mean everyone.

An angry alpha is not one to be around... but one who can't locate his mate? Even worse.

"Where is she?! Katlyn!" He howled. A note lay crumpled in my hand.

Who will protect mommy and baby? It read.

It'd been hours. No one knew where Katlyn had disappeared to and after I found the note I was hesitant to show my friend. If Clayton saw it he'd lose it. He'd been so good lately, because of Kate.

My voice caught for a second as I said, "Clayton I found something." He was instantly by my side.

I handed him the message and he looked it over then snarled. His eyes lost the last flicker of gold and were now solid red. I looked away from him.

The Blood Wolf was back.

"Convel please calm down." I pleaded with him. My friend's other side had taken over. His demonic side that I thought and prayed would never surface again.

"How did they get in here?" He snarled and I flinched.

"I don't know alpha." I said looking at my feet. He gave a deep roaring growl and I backed away from him.

"I have to find her." He snarled and started toward the door. I panicked.

"No. Clayton- Convel you cannot leave here now." I said and he whirled on me.

"You dare order me? Do you forget I am alpha?" He snarled and I shook my head.

"Boy calm down." A deep voice said and I glanced over to see Alpha Xavier standing in front of the door. Convel snarled.

"Who are you calling boy?" He spat at Xavier. The older alpha scoffed.

"I'm twenty-four you on the other hand are eighteen. To me you are a boy so sit down somewhere and actually think before you go out there." Xavier said softly but with power. My alpha snarled and started shaking.

"Sorry Clay." A voice said and I glanced to see Lexi holding a gun. She aimed it at her brother and squeezed the trigger.

Convel- Clayton stumbled from the hit and grasped at his chest before pulling the dart out of his skin but he was too late. My friend snarled and stumbles around the room trying to shake off the drowsiness. It was in vain though and he slumped to the ground out cold.

Xavier sighed and said, "That's a relief, for a moment there I thought you actually shot him with a bullet." He stepped forward and picked up my unconscious friend.

"Put him in the cellars. We can't have him going crazy again." Lexi sighed and watched with sad eyes as Xavier carried her brother away.

"We need to find Kate." She said and I nodded.

"I think I can help." Harper said slipping inside.

I nodded to her and she sighed and grasped the letter. Her eyes changed colors and she closed them and I could see them moving under her eyelids.

"A vampire is responsible for this. He's taken her but I can't see where. The connection is poor. He's blocking me somehow..." She sighed opening her eyes.

"Well we can't just stand here." Dalton's voice made me look over to find him leaning against the wall. A determined look flickering in his eyes. He walked over and I smiled softly as he took my hand in his.

"I thought Clayton was going to attack you for a second." He whispered and his eyes showed concern. I sighed and rubbed my thumb along his hand enjoying the warmth.

"That's not Clayton well not right now... it's Convel." I sighed and my mate's looked confused and I smiled aren't his adorable frown. I leaned closer and kissed his lips softly. I pulled away and he looked shocked. It was the first time I'd kissed his lips and I smirked at the lust in his eyes.

"We'll finish this later." I whispered and he smirked. I ignored the butterflies in my stomach. Dalton nodded curtly.

We couldn't focus on our wants and needs right now, we needed to find Katlyn.
