She stood there...wrinkles by her eyes and grey hair mixing in with her beautiful black.

I felt my throat fill up and I couldn't breathe.

Yeah I saw her in my dreams..but I didn't think...I-

"Oh don't just stand there...give your mama a hug mija?"

I released a betraying sob and shook my head stepping back. "Y-your suppose to be dead! Gone! a-away..."

I felt a sharp pain run thru my head. I winced and a fearful growl escaped me. "Y-you left us! Mom YOU LEFT US!"

I let the tears fall, not caring how her face broke every time I spoke. "DO you know what happened when you left?!" I snapped stepping forward. "DO YOU?!"

Her voice was so soft and helpless like a little child as she squeaked. "N-no..."

Some how her respond made my anger worse. "DAD HITTED ME THINKING I WAS YOU! HE GOT DRUNK! AMANDA GREW UP SEEING YOU PICTURES OF YOU INSTEAD OF HER REAL MOTHER"

My head was pounding and I started breathing heavy. I felt like my skull was cracking as my mouth opened in pain but no sound came. My legs broke out as I fell to the muddy ground, my hands digging into the dirt.

My hair fell over my face as my back arched and twisted in a unhuman was possible.

I heard such a frightening scream and I looked around to see where could such a ear throbbing sound could come from...

When I realized it was me.

"MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!"

The night Artemis got drugged:

She smiled. "Yeah... I um...thought you might want a drink."

She hands me a glass of something red. I looked confused. "Its red wine idiot. Never had any?"

I rolled my eyes and drunk it all. She was watching me weirdly but when she noticed I saw her she smiled.

"How do you feel?"

It was a weird question but I shrugged. "I feel...good I guess."

She smiled. "Well, come on inside...its too cold for you to be out here by yourself."

I follow her up the stairs and into her room. I sat down on her bed and she goes on her knees in front of me.

"Ryan?"

She shushes me slowly reaching my feet. "Let me take care of you...it would be all fine."

My vision gotten blurry a bit but I shook my head sighing. There was something that was tugging at me and I couldn't focus my eyes.

I blinked constantly holding my head. "R-ryan?" I whispered drowsily.

I felt hands on my pants and I was pushed flat on the bed. I tried sitting up again, not knowing what was happening.

Did she put something in that drink?

I tried raising up but it was as if something smacked me in the face with a hammer.

"Oof!"

"Artemis...its ok..let me take care of you, don't fight it. Just let it in."

The voice was familiar. A voice I never thought I might hear again.

I looked up and my eyes widen.

Is my mind playing tricks on me?

"Anita?"

Her face dropped just a bit before she smiled widely, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ears.

She leaned forward towards me and I cupped her face kissing her hard. "Anita... your ok?"

"Yes...now shush." She pressed a finger against my lips as I laid back smiling widely.

She's ok... My mate is ok.

I felt her hands brush up against my stomach as she tugged my pants down.

"I-I missed you...I wanted to hold you so much but it was scary with y-you in that s-state..." I whispered raising my head to look at her.

I felt my insides go warm and melt as I stared at my mate before me. I Blinked.

"Hmm where's ryan? I want you to-"

"Xavier...stop talking and just shush and let me do this to you..." I frowned. "Let me pleasure you."

I blinked again and this time I saw Ryan in Anita's Place. My frowned deepened as I curled my lips back in disgust backing away.

"Ryan what the fuck?!"

She fell back panting and looking ashamed. Then she stood up and growled prancing on me.

"Why didn't the drug work?! I'm Anita Xavier..Anita! Your mate" She pleaded trying to kiss me.

My eyes almost bulged out of my sockets as I pushed her off, trying not to use my real strength.

"Ryan your drunk! I-im drunk...Your family!" I was utterly confused on why she suddenly was doing this, I quickly stood up zipping and fixing my belt, and was about to leave when she spoke. Her words made my blood boil and my whole world stop.

All I could think about was Anita...the way her black hair covered the pillow. Her cracked lips parted as she barely could breathe. Her pale skin as she fought for her life. Everyone confused on what in the world could have happened. I almost lost my mate! I almost lost my other half...the one who changed my life in matter of weeks.

My head snapped towards her and this time my wolf and I was fighting for control.

"What the fuck did you just say?" I spoke, but my voice was too vicious and cold to be mines. My wolf was out and right now, I did not give one shit. I wanted this bitch dead!

"I wish I over did the fucking drops! I wish I put the whole bottle and poisoned your worthless bitch of a human mate. I wish-"

I wish you dead.

I growled so loudly I knew the whole house was awake now. But I didn't care.

Her body froze with fear as she stared up at me with wide watery eyes.

She started backing away and I cracked my neck side to side.

"Don't try to run away now." I whispered smirking. "You wasn't running when you tried to fucking rape me!"

It was impossible for a wolf to be in its form while still being human. But when my eye caught my reflection in the window, I suddenly felt more powerful.

My face was mixed into a snout with canines ripping from my gums. I could see my hands in claws curling and uncurling.

I heard something crash and I looked to see Ryan running out of the room.

My wolf shook with rage as he transformed chasing her down the halls.

"HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!" She screamed as I chased her growling in anger.

Yet deep down I smirked. I liked a good chase.

I slowed down just a bit allowing her to think she lost me. I followed her scent out into the field where half the pack was out wanting to know what the commotion was about.

My uncle and aunt stood there shocked and confused as they saw Ryan crying and screaming at them pointing at me.

"Xavier! What is the meaning of this?!" My aunt yelled.

I lowered my body staring directly at Ryan. She was panting and looked scared, really scared.

"Artemis! Shift now!" My uncle spoke in his alpha's voice. It was so powerful it made others shift who wasn't even commanded to do so.

I fought my wolf for power and took over shifting. But my eyes was still locked on Ryan.

"Explain now!"

"Would you like to explain Ryan dearest? Or should I?" My eyes darkened and I was on the verge of letting my wolf take over and snap her head off right then and there.

She didn't speak still looking at me with wide eyes. "Fine. Your "Daughter" Here is the one who poisoned my mate, almost killing her in the process, then she tried to drug me and practically rape me."

Aunty looked hurt and my Uncle shook his head. "N-no she wouldn't do something like that. Ryan is what he saying true?"

She stepped back and shook her head, her face scrunching up. "Hes mine." She whispered.

"W-what?!" Cherry spoke baffled.

"HES MINE! IM SUPPOSE TO BE HIS MATE! IM SUPPOSE TO BE THE ONE HE IS SO WORRIED AND IN LOVE WITH! IM THE ONE SUPPOSE TO BE THE LUNA! IM THE LUNA IM THE LUNA IM THE LUNA IM THE FUCKING LUNA!" She looked at me and smiled. "Im the luna aren't I Art-"

Everyone gasped as she fell flat on her face, knocked out by her own sister. Cherry looked down at Ryan in disgust and shook her head crying.

"I knew I never liked you." She spat. She ran to me and hugged me tightly sobbing hard.

"I-im so sorry Xavier! I can't believe she actually did that I don't know why she-"

But I didn't hear anything else. A sharp pain filled my head and I fell backwards, blacking out.

~~~

I woke up looking around, squinting at the sunlight coming from the window.

"Oh! Your awake...Your phone has been ringing 8 times...I think your beta is trying to contact you."

I stared at my phone confused. Didn't I tell Thomason I would be back?

I nodded and took the phone from Aunty.

"W-what happened?" I groaned staring at my naked state.

Aunty frowned. "Ryan is in the cells underneath the Alpha house. She drugged your mate and tried to drug you. I don't know if she succeeded in her acts..."

I looked down at my body in disgust. "Did I sleep with her?" I whispered, feeling my insides crack and break.

My aunt stayed silent and I knew the answer.

I turned on my phone and dialed Thomason Number.

"Hello? Where are you, we found a clue." He started blabbering.

I stayed silent...How could I live with myself?

"Hello? Xavier?" I heard the panic in his voice and I winced.

"I know who did it...I know who almost killed my mate."

My tongue felt dry and i looked at my Aunt who looked at me with shame.

I hung up and stood up getting my clothes on. "I want her transferred to my pack cells. She will not come back and be ripped away her title of Alpha's Daughter. She will be excuted when i get all the information i need. Understand?"

My Aunt lips quivered and she broke into a sob as she nodded. "Y-yes.."

I patted her shoulders, still angry and walked away. "Wait Xavier-"

I looked back and saw a bottle in her hands. "I found this...I don't know if its what she drugged you with..but i hope it helps."

I took the bottle from her hands and stared at it. My thumb brushed over the marking on the bottle and suddenly i knew where she got this from.

A witch.

"Thank you Aunty...And i'm sorry but she needs to pay what she did."

"Yes....i know my child."

I walked out and left the Pack terrotority.
