Pain

I got prepared for their visit. We have done every bit of security checks and everything. So far everything looked good. Even if Julio comes here there is nothing he can do. We hated vampires, as much as they hated us. My only issue with him other than that is his calculated smile while looking at my mate. I don't fear for her life since she is safe here with me. I only hate the way his eyes takes her in every time he sees her. He doesn't back off even after I warned him.

Maybe his end is going to be by my hands. He can't continue poking me expecting no retaliation. I'm going to fuck him over that he will not look at her again. I try to bury my homicidal feelings by dipping at work.

"Hey Alpha", called Liam.

I looked up to see his eyes looking disturbed. I immediately recognised something wrong.

" What is it?", I asked him.

He gave me a letter which was a security detail on our end. I fumed in anger.

"Where did you get this?", I asked him.

" It was handed over to me by the sweeping lady from your room", he said.

"What do you mean by that Li?", I asked him. I saw everyone coming towards me. They all understood by my tone that I was agitated.

" You need to calm down", said Lana.

"Don't tell me to calm the fuck down. I'm alright I just don't feel like entertaining such stupid notions anymore", I told them.

"At least think about it. It can't be all accident that they find it in your room", said Lana.

" She won't betray me", I told them.

"Are you going to take that chance?", asked Tony.

" No, I won't be taking any chances, especially where the safety of my pack is considered. I want none of this information to go out. I don't want anyone to torture my mate for finding some papers", I told them.

"No one mistrust luna here. We found it so we informed you", said Li.

" Change the security details from scratch. I don't want anyone to find out about it anymore. Keep it within our group. There is a chance that the traitor is among the pack", I told them.

"I don't care about the traitor right now. All I care about is the safety of the pack", I said turning to them once again.

I felt lost tired and unable to do what I want. The doubt clouded my mind like a drop of ink stains the white sheets. I felt like my life is being run again in rewind. I wanted to trust my mate like last time. But something is stopping me. It could be an accident, but even if she betrayed me what will be her future. Unlike the last times, there is no beef between me and humans like other packs and me. It doesn't make any sense. Why was I shaking with anger? Maybe it is because my mate had managed to launch herself into this as well.

I went straight in and saw her curling up with a magazine. I would have teased her for reading that stupid magazine. But right now I feel as though I wanted to shake her so hard and ask why was she doing this to me?

" You are back already?", she asked with a sensual smile.

I threw the piece of paper to her face. She was too shocked to move from the spot. It hit on her face. After a few seconds of silence. She bends and retrieved the paper and glanced at it.

"What is it?", she asked me.

" You don't know what it is?", I asked her. She shook her head in negative.

"It is the security details of our home. They got it from the sweeping lady. What is it doing here?", I asked her?

" I have no idea. Maybe it fell from your pocket", she said.

" I haven't seen it yet. I was supposed to pass it tonight but they found it already from the sweeper lady. Are you regretting now that you are not careful", I asked her.

"Are you here to ask me what happened or to declare me guilty?", she said.

" I don't know you tell me. I thought you loved me. But you have proved again that you can't be trusted", I told her.

"I have suffered enough heartbreaks from you. I won't let you degrade me any further. I would rather leave than listen to these accusations", she told me

" Why so hurry? Do you have a lover? Is it Julio", I asked her.

"Shut up. Julio makes my skin crawl. That is exactly how I'm feeling right now", she told me.

" You won't leave anywhere. You will stay here until the visitors leave", said I.

"No, I refuse to be a prisoner here. You can kill me. But you can't hold me inside. I will fucking kill you. If you tried", she told me.

" Are you threatening me?", I asked her.

"You leave me no choice. I hate that you are trying to keep me here as a prisoner. I won't stay here unless you trust me", she told me.

" How can I trust you? It is not a question of my life. It is the life of hundreds of people depending on me", I told her.

"You have to trust me. At least pretend to trust me. But you can't even do that all that you want to do is hurt me", she told me.

" What about the hurt you are causing me? I trusted you with my life. Tell me who you are working for?", I asked her.

"I don't work for anyone. I'm a nobody. I saved your life. I loved you. I trusted you. I have no one now because I chose you", she told me.

" I know that it was not a coincidence that you chose me. You had some motive. I won't let you win like the last times", I told her

"I won? I died. I fucking died every time", she told me.
