Chapter 28
Break the bond? Reject my Mate? NO. I won't and I can't. I won't leave Troy's side and I can't live with such a huge mistake. I know Troy will be here soon, he'll save me. Of course he will, he promised me. I will never leave his side no matter what! I will never repeat the same mistake ever again.
"What's your answer, Audrey? What makes you take too long to reply? Haven't you realized yet? Troy doesn't love you, he does not care for you. He can search for you easily if he wants, but he doesn't. So, if I were you, think wise. If you break the bond, then you're free from him. You can live your life, the way you, you, chose it to be. You know, the life you want to California"
The life I chose to be? Live what I want, freedom. Is that what you call it? Do I want to change my life the way it is now? Did I regret being like this? No, I don't, I like the way I am living my life now. I never regret what I am now. I know Troy is on his way now! I'm sure of it. He'll save me no matter what. I promised to never leave his side. We just renewed our vows. Troy is my happiness, I love him and no matter what happens I will fight for him.
"No!", I exclaimed.
"Oh, such a hard headed child of yours, Adelfa.", he sighed. He looked at the picture beside him. I can't clearly see it, a woman dressed in a red gown with a man beside him, Daniel. If he said Adelfa, then the woman in the picture is my mother. I haven't seen her, ever, the information Grandma told me was all that I know for now, nothing else. Adelfa is a nice name. I want to cry.
"Well, I think that made her your child.", he said and looked at me.
"You won't get away from this, Troy will be here soon and he will save me! He'll kill you for sure!", I said and stood straight.
My entire body ached as I moved. Strong hands grabbed my wrists and put it at my back. Mac. He pulled me to his chest and locked my head facing Daniel. As he tightened his grip, my bruised arms started to feel numb again. Daniel stepped forward and now faced me.
"If you think he will save you, you're wrong!", he growled at me as my ear overcame my body, my knees shaking.
"Oh, about what you've said? I've changed my mind, I'll just kill you in front of him. There goes the saying an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You are hard headed!" he laughed menacingly.
"Why? What did Troy do to you? What caused you to go this far?", I said in a rough tone. I can't speak well because Mac's arms are way too strong.
"He just killed my daughter. My precious Zafira. He killed her, in front of me.", Daniel's voice became weak.
"Why would he do that? He will never d-", Mac's hands tightened even more. I can't breathe.
"You don't have to know.", he said and turned away.
I gathered my remaining strength and asked, "Then, w-why did you kill my m-mother? What has she d-done to you? Is it your fetish to break bonds of other wolves?"
I asked, chasing my breathing and tapping Mac's arms. Damn you Mac! "Why? Because she's a traitor. She rejected me and got married to a weak human. I gave her all she wanted. But she betrayed me, she's my soon to be Luna, my mate but she doesn't felt anything. Stupid story! If I knew she'd do that? I would have killed that hopeless human. But thanks to her I made this far.", he said and turned to me again
"I can get whatever I want. I never lose." he said.
"B*llsh*t!." I shouted. Daniel's eyes gazed me with anger and fury. He clenched his fist and punched me in my stomach. I choked blood. Mac let go of me and I fell into the ground. All I can see is darkness, again..... Troy... help me.

Troy Williams
As I headed out, the moon shines at me. May the moon guide me tonight and keep my Mate safe. Tonight I'll save my Mate and end things that should be ended.
"Alpha, your orders.", Gabriel told me.
"Line up! were about to have a run. Prepare yourselves, We will save our Luna!", I shouted out. I clenched my fist,"I will show them no mercy." I whispered to myself.
"Were ready.", Gabriel said and I shifted. I led the way and ran. The moon is about to fade, the sun will soon take over. I don't have so much time. May the moon protect my mate. We've passed the White Fang's pack house, still empty. We've proceeded to we're really going. The pack I have to deal with, the pack I once encountered before. And soon we've arrived. The marks are all over the place, the smell of Daniel. I shifted back, Matthew handed me a pair of clothes and I slipped it on. The pathway is empty, yet lighted. I walked forward with my first beta Gabriel, my second beta Matthew and my hunter Dolan and the rest stayed back. As we walked towards the big house, I suppose their headquarters, I flung it open. And I was frozen by the moment I saw Audrey tied at the big wooden cross, surrounded by wolves bane.
In this case I can't enter the circle and save her, it has a barrier and no one can enter, except a human. A human can break the barrier, but no one is with me right now. I clenched my fist and looked at Audrey's bruised body. Her pale skin turned to a purple. Her lips were dried and stained and dried. I stepped forward, I could barely breathe. Just knowing that my Mate was in pain makes me want to destroy everything around me.
"Audrey, Audrey!" I growled with mixed emotions, but she didn't move a bit.
"Well, well. Who do we have here? Oh, it's Troy! The hero wannabe! Well, I'm afraid you're late, your mate will die soon." A man walked on a hallway with an evil grin.
"Daniel!" I screamed with pure rage. He even had the audacity to foolishly raise his hands like a criminal caught in the act, which made me want to punch his face even more.
"Hey, don't growl at me. I'm not that bad."? He chuckles evilly, making me clench my fists harder.
"What do you want?!" I demanded, making his smile grow wider.
"Hah! You talk just like your Mate. But, unfortunately you can't talk to her anymore. You'll just have to watch her die!" He taunted me with a smile.
Then I thought of a plan. A really difficult one.
I did my best to harden my expression. "I did not come here to talk to her. She doesn't mean anything to me!" I laughed nonchalantly. I can't tell how I was able to say that without apologizing to Audrey, but I'm glad I managed. I continued putting up the act. "You can kill her anytime. I came here to end you and your tricks." My words made Daniel lose his smile. I grinned.
"Go! Kill her, she doesn't mean anything to me anyways." I urged him. A voice inside me wished he wouldn't do as I say.
"No, no, no y-you can't fool me!" He tried to regain his composure,, but failed miserably. "You're kidding r-right? You don't want her to die! You're lying." He hissed, but my face expression held no deception. Please don't
"Go on." I dared him. Then I glanced at Audrey. She was looking at me, wide awake. Tears were flowing from her eyes.
Oh no! She heard it! I did my best not to flinch; I looked away and turned to Daniel again.
"Well, she's awake now! How was your nap, Audrey? Was it good? Well, prepare yourself. Because that's the last wink of sleep you'll have", Daniel said and chuckled.
"Lady!" Matthew exclaimed. I glanced at them and they looked back. 'I know what I'm doing!' I said on mind links. I would never put her in danger
"T-Troy, glad you're here...", Audrey's voice was in pain. I never looked at her. Hearing her cries was already enough torture, and it would kill me to see how awful her situation is and how useless I am as his mate.
"So, we need to end this", he snapped his fingers and Mac, my old friend, went out to join Daniel's side. Wolves lined up at every corner of the house, from every side of the place.
"Matthew, Gabriel." I called and they went out.
"What? You will fight them, us alone? What a brave hero". He said teasingly.
I heard loud footsteps approaching. It seems my pack has arrived.
"Oh, you bet I can!" I laughed. "But would you really mess up with me? Because by doing that, you'd also be messing with the infamous White Shadow". I said and my warriors came in to join me, just in time. But Daniel's eyes held no fear. In fact, he looked even more infuriated.
"CHARGE!" Daniel signaled.
"GET THEM!" I roared.
