“Losing him was blue like I'd never known,

Missing him was dark grey all alone,

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met,

But loving him was red,

Loving him was red.”

shocked. He just smirked and moved closer to me.

My eyes widened and I panicked, backing up. My back touched the cold railing and I realized I am in a balcony with practically no way out.

My eyes desperately moved to the door but he was guarding it, standing directly in front of it. They was no escape.

His smirk widened and he started pressing against mine. I looked away, disgusted.

"M-move." I said. But my voice came out weaker than I intended.

Because I was fucking scared.

I cleared my throat and tried again, pushing his chest,"Move!"

I didn't like touching him. AT ALL.

He didn't even budge. No surprises there. Putting his hands on either side of my waist, he leaned closer.

"Why so shy now, love?" He cooed, twirling a piece of my brown locks between his fingers.

Him being near me wasn't a nice feeling. He didn't give me any tingles like Chance, in fact my body rejected him in every way possible.

I could feel my wolf once again. This time, ready to fight.

"I am not your love!" I growled with a newfound energy.

His eyes darkened, his jaw clenched and the familiar madness awakened in his eyes.

Oh how well I knew that madness.

"You will forever and always be my love," he growled, pulling my face closer by my hair.

I hissed in pain when he pulled my hair and tears formed in my eyes.

"...and I will show you that tonight." He whispered, blowing his breathe over my face.

I almost gagged in disgust. "Leave me alone!" I screamed, lifting my leg up to kick him where the sun doesn't shine, but he dodged me.

"Kinky?" He said, slipping his other hand around my bare waist and I gasped, trying to fight against him.

"Stop fighting!" He hissed, placing something pointed against my neck.

Petrified I looked down to see him holding an injection against my neck.

I froze and stopped struggling. That injection could have anything. Wolfsbane being the worst.

My wolf hasn't even come out yet. If I am given wolfsbane now, I may lose my wolf FOREVER.

Because it's a poison for a wolf. And mine being in foetus stage rightnow, won't be able to fight it.

He smirked triumphantly and started kissing my neck. He left open mouthed, wet kisses up my neck to my jaw and I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

His lips moved close to my mouth and he placed a kiss on the corner of my lips. Angling my face, he was about to kiss my lips when I pushed him away on instinct.

"NO!" I said, firmly. Pushing his arms.

He growled in anger, at my rejection.

"See! This is your problem! This is why I had to cheat you in the first place and why we broke up! You are the problem! Your freaking virginity is the problem." He squeezed my arms making me cry out and grinned evilly. "Today when I'll fuck you, the problem will be resolved. Then, nothing will come between you and me and you will be mine forever. I will mark you as mine. You won't want for anything else but my body once I'm done with you."

I screamed at him to stop but he took the injection and stabbed it in my neck making me gasp.

He injected something in my neck before pulling the syringe out and throwing it down the balcony.

My eyes widened in shock and I stood frozen.

My skin burned where he injected and my vision started blurring. My legs staggered and blackness took over as I fell in his arms, passing out.

Just before going unconscious, I felt him picking me up and taking me to one of the guest rooms.

Silent tears ran down my face as I realized what is going to happen.

Words can't explain how mad I got seeing my mate with Reece.

I mean, I get it. I said I didn't want her. I honestly, I don't. I have girls falling on my foot all the time. And why should I even commit to one person when I can get a new girl in my bed everyday?

I don't want a mate right now. Maybe sometime in the future... But not rightnow.

And then she's Olivia Hart...the girl I have hated since that day...

'Chance!' my wolf's panicked voice filled my mind and straightened my spine, alarmed.

My beta mode took over and asked. 'what happened?'

'Mate!' he growled. 'she's in trouble, I can feel it."

An unwanted growl left my throat too when I thought of Olivia getting potentially hurt.

Just when I was about to get up and leave, Reece mind linked me.

'I have heard someone saying that they saw Xander Hudson carrying Olivia Hart to a guest room.' he informed me.

Reece was the only person who knew about her being my mate. The little stunt he pulled earlier was just to piss me off. That mofo.

'I've got it.' I told him.

Lupus was on the edge now, pushing me to take over. He didn't like the thought of his mate being with any other man.

'I'll kill that son of a bitch for touching her,' he growled.

But I ignored him and started climbing up the flight of stairs.

I checked every guest room. Getting more and more panicked when I didn't find her.

I let out a frustrated groan when I found the 3rd guest room empty.

I was about to leave when a grunt came from the last room on the floor— the prohibited guest room. It was prohibited because once a couple committed suicide there.

Agitatedly, I threw the door open to see a sight that made me want to kill someone.

That motherfucker had tied my mate's hands up and was covering her with his palm mouth while he attempted to take out her shirt.

She was struggling against him, tears falling down her cheeks but he didn't pay her any heed.

"DON'T TOUCH HER," Lupus growled. I didn't even realize that he had taken over. But he did. And now my wolf was in control.

Xander's head snapped in our direction and his eyes widened when he saw us.

Lupus walked towards him in long strides and pulled his body of our mate's forcefully.

He threw that fucker towards the wall and growled. Xander hit the wall and felt down like the weak person he is.

Lupus wasn't done though.

He walked over to him and pulled him up by his collar. Raising up his fist, he punched him again and again till Xander was unconscious and blood flew out of every part of his face.

Lupus was not satisfied though. The image of his mate crying and begging for mercy kept floating in his mind and he started hitting more brutally.

He kicked his shin and punched his stomach again and again. He was seeing red. All he wanted to do was tear him apart limb for touching his mate without her consent.

"Chance! CHANCE! STOP! YOU'LL KILL HIM!" Reece voice came and Lupus looked up, ready to growl. But he stopped went he realized it was his Alpha.

Bowing his head to his alpha, he gave Xander a last menacing glance and stood up.

His eyes desperately searched for his mate in the room. When his eyes landed on her, he melted.

There she was, sitting on the edge of the bed. She was hugging her knees, her head was buried between her knees and she was shaking in fear.

Her cheeks were stained with tears, she had a bruise on her cheek and a cut on her lip.

Lupus howled in pain internally, not being able to bare the sight of her in such a pain.

He walked up to her and tried to touch her face as a gesture of love and comfort.

His hand reached out for her but she cowered away in fear. Watching his mate scaring away from him, wounded Lupus deeply and he whimpered.

His eyes turned glossy with unshed tears and he dropped his hand, hanging his head low.

What did he do wrong? He always loved his mate. It was all Chance's doing.

He was lost in his thoughts but snapped out of it when Olivia's pained scream reverberated in the room.

His eyes widened and he panicked as he saw her bending over the bed, her arms clenching her stomach.

He was still trying to comprehend what happened when Olivia screamed again, clenching her head now.

She fell on the bed with her entire body shaking and her screams turned into cries of pain.

Lupus gasped and his chest filled with pain when he saw her mate struggling like that.

His first instinct was to go and wrapped his arms around her to comfort her because her pain, pained him, but before he could, a hand on his shoulder stopped him and he turned around to see none else, but their Gamma— Ryder Landon.

At first he was shocked. Because of the fact that he was seeing Ryder after 3 years. His flight had delayed and he was late to his own party. Everyone was asking about him, because they wanted to meet their New Gamma, and here he was now.

"What happened?" Ryder whispered. Before Lupus could answer, his eyes turned to Olivia and they widened.

"Livy?" He whispered, and rushed to her side in a second.

Lupus' eyes widened and he gaped at Ryder as he went and wrapped his arms around his Olivia.

"Oh god, Livy, what happened?" Ryder asked in a panicked voice and Olivia looked up in shock at him before breaking down in his arms.

She let him hug her.

She let him hug her!

Lupus curled his fists as his veins filled with jealousy and hatred towards this other male who seemed to be closer to his mate than he was.

He hated how his mate found comfort in someone else's arms while he was there.

'This is all because of you!' Lupus growled at me and I just sighed.

He was minutes away from going to the two and ripping Ryder's hands off her girl when he felt a presence behind him.

He turned around to see Reece standing there with a hard expression.

"Lupus, we need Chance. Let him take over." He said.

Lupus growled lowly, his sign of disapproval and he shook his head.

Reece's eyes darkened in anger. "I said, let Chance take over."

He used alpha tone this time and Lupus was compelled to listen to him. He nodded sadly, and after a last glance at Olivia he closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, I took over.

"What happened?" I whispered to Reece as he dragged me out of the room. Olivia was still crying in pain. I wanted to turned around so bad and comfort her, but I resisted.

I can't submit to the mate bond.

Reece pulled me out and looked at me with a severe expression.

"Chance, Xander injected a drug in her." He told me and I gasped.

My mind went to worst possibilities and Lupus once again started pushing me for dominance.

I growled despite myself. "What did he give her?"

Reece hesitated. "I... I am sorry.... but..."

"Tell me!"

"He gave her false heat drug." He said finally and I felt like the world stopped around me.

It took me a few seconds to take the information in.

Then, I lift my nose up and sniffed.

Her scent hit me like tons of bricks and it wasn't only her usually green apples and fig smell. It was mixed with something so much sweeter and addictive that I felt my senses starting to tingle.

The scent travelled through my body, driving me crazy. And I felt like I could get a hard on just by her scent.

I growled in lust and pleasure when I realized the truth.

Reece was right.

Olivia was in heat due to that drug.

And there was another unmated male with her right now.

Goddammit.
