My body is still copying with roughness of last night. It was mind blowing though. But what is more intriguing is the fact why Daniel was like that last night. Ever since Sera have returned, Daniel has been acting weirdly. It’s getting little exhausting spending every night with him and I have to get another prey for change in scenery. Kyle is the perfect choice.

When I was going to seduce Kyle last night, he was already busy flirting with Sera who was returning the favor. It made me angry. But Daniel standing at the doorframe was confusing. He had all the expressions written on his face I wanted to see- hurt, anger, betrayal. It made me happy to see him hurt.

I closed my eyes thinking about those beautiful silvery grey eyes, tanned skin and dirty blonde hairs. Every time his face pops in my brain, a sudden surge of pain flows through my body and my wolf whines. The kiss we shared on my birthday was the best. It was nothing as compared to Daniel. But he rejected me. My mate rejected me. Cane rejected me. When he saw Daniel’s mark on my neck, he rejected me. I told him that my connection with him was stronger than that with Daniel but he still rejected me.

This is Daniel’s fault. If he hadn’t marked me, I could have been with Cane. If Daniel hadn’t contaminated my mind, my life could have been happier. I asked Daniel to keep Cane in dungeons so that I could have him whenever I wanted instead of letting him go when he demanded. I couldn’t give up the position of Luna of this pack. It was too much to lose. The power that comes with Luna would have gone. My luxuries would have gone.

Cane was a rogue. He wouldn’t have provided me anything- no safety, no money, no power or no new clothes. He could only give me pleasure I always wanted, something that Daniel can never give. I’m sure it could have been the best sex of my life.

But Daniel asked him to leave the territory and never come back. I am so angry with Daniel. I hate him for that. After giving myself to him, all he did was to let my mate leave just like that. And Cane never looked back. I still remember the look of disgust he gave me when he left. He freaking called me a whore when I’ve ever slept with Daniel only, that bastard doesn’t let me sleep with anyone else.

I couldn’t live a happy life with Daniel and I always wanted to get revenge on him after that.

After witnessing anger and hurt in Daniel while Sera and Kyle were flirting, my previous suspicions became true. I knew someone was Daniel’s mate. I researched about all those girls who claimed to be Daniel’s mate on his birthday. While every other she-wolf was already living with their mate, I had lost hope. That stupid letter of Sera read that she was with a rogue who was her mate. But now I think that rogue wasn’t her mate. Someone else is and I know who he is.

It’s time to take my revenge. Daniel kept my mate away from me. He hurt me. Now I will hurt him. I will destroy both of them.

“Are you sure about this?” I asked Wilson leaning back on the chair, studying the map while my brain was busy absorbing the information. A part of me didn’t want to believe him but the other part knew he was correct.

“Yeah. There is someone from our pack who is giving information to rogues. There’s a traitor.” He told me.

I sat there silently.

From the recent rogue attacks, we have caught some rogues. One of them, a weak rogue, revealed that there is someone from our own pack helping them. Their plan is to destroy our pack before Wayne arrives. But the defense of our pack is good even though Alpha is not strong. They are mainly targeting Alpha.

I wish Daniel could shift into his wolf form. No matter how big of jerk he had been, he is still my Alpha. The thought of pain my sister must have gone through due to him makes me want to rip his head off his body but I restrain myself. I hope Sera make everything alright. I don’t want her to be with him but I know what’s the pain of being separated from one’s mate is. I can’t stay away from Manny for a day. How Daniel managed to do it for a year? Though he started showing signs of withdrawal after few months.

But now that Sera is back, he should be able to shift. Can Sera’s loss of her wolf affecting him? I don’t know what to think about it. For now I have to focus on safety of pack. I may get plenty of time to think about these things later on. For now, I have to make sure everyone is safe.

Most importantly, I have to find this traitor.

I kissed Manny as soon as I entered the front door. She responded immediately sensing my stress. Without any intention, the kiss grew heated. All stress and tension disappeared slowly as I enjoyed the feel of my mate in my arms.

Someone cleared their throat forcing me to pull away from Manny. Standing at the corner was Sera with hand covering her eyes.

“Are you done yet?” She asked with strain in her voice.

I rolled my eyes.

Manny was to open her mouth but I stopped her with a kiss.

“Not yet,” I mumbled and continued to taste Manny’s addicting lips. I knew I had to stop but it seemed nearly impossible.

I faintly heard my sister in background saying something like ‘kids these days’. She is only one week older than me and a day older than Manny. Still she acts like grandmother.

I pressed Manny against the door when I knew Sera was no longer in sight and kissed her thoroughly. I moaned when she tugged at my hairs. Things were getting very heated when she pulled away. But that didn’t stop me. I dropped kisses along her jaw to her neck and nipped at delicate skin.

“We… need to… stop.” Manny breathed and gasped when I licked her mark.

“I don’t want to.” I groaned traveling up her neck to her face and claimed her mouth.

“S-Sera,” She mumbled in between kisses.

I reluctantly pulled away. Sera won’t let me live it down if I have sex with Manny with her presence in this house, especially against the door. Knowing Sera, she won’t ever step inside this door and prefer back door or even windows to enter.

I gave Manny last kiss before walking to living room. Sera was sitting on couch watching television without any care of world. She didn’t look like a heartbroken girl whose mate didn’t want her. She looked like she was enjoying something.

“What brings you here sis?” I asked. Her head snapped in my direction and she stared at me strangely.

I frowned.

“You could at least try to hide that you were almost making love with your mate not twelve feet away from me.” She shook her head in disgust.

I rolled my eyes again trying to settle my hairs which stood like I got an electric shock. Well every kiss from Manny was like a mini electric shock. First three buttons of my shirt were unbuttoned and it was slightly wrinkled. After fixing everything, I took a seat on the other couch.

Sera would definitely kick me if I try to sit at her side right now, especially when I was almost going to make love with Manny.

“You’re in good mood today.” I said still wondering what type of mating bond she has with Daniel.

“I was in good mood. Until I saw my brother and my best friend eating each other’s face.” She shuddered.

I just shook my head with a faint smile on my face.

“Daniel was really jealous yesterday. He looked like he lost a batter” She said with a smile on her face. It was as if she had won a billion dollar lottery. Her eyes shinned with victory.

“What happened?” I frowned.

“Something. Leave it. You look stressed. What happened?” She asked me changing the topic.

I sighed.

“There’s a problem.” I said shaking my head.

“A traitor in pack. Well that’s a big problem.” She said casually. My head snapped at her.

“How do you know that?” I don’t remember every telling her that.

“You’re my brother Dave. I know you very well. Your expressions scream of betrayal. There can be two reasons for that- fault in mate, fault in pack. There’s no problem with the mate because you were pouncing at her like a horny lovesick drunk teenager not five minutes ago. Then there is pack. Someone from pack betrayed. I don’t trust this pack very much and I’m always doubtful about the member because of… Daniel. And you didn’t deny it.” She told me and I blinked at her I surprise. She is observant.

“SO, who’s the big buddy?” She asked leaning back on couch casually.

“I don’t know.” I grumbled rubbing my hands on my face.

“Don’t be stressed Dave. You will find him or her or then eventually.” She said shrugging her shoulder. My head snapped in her direction. I stared at her wide eyed.

“What? Did I say anything wrong?” She asked frowning at me.

“THEY. I have never thought. There can be more than one.” I groaned. “How am I gonna find them?”

“You will find them Dave. Don’t think too much about it. Daniel is safe. He is in pack house. There is Kyle and his pack. They will protect him if anything goes wrong. And I believe Daniel is capable of protecting himself. So just relax.”

Her words made me feel better. I let out a long sigh of relief.

“Okay,” I nodded and she smiled at me hugging me. “Are you staying for dinner?” I asked when she pulled away.

“Of course I am. Manny will kill me if I don’t stay. She has been inside kitchen since evening.” She said and I chuckled. Manny is a passionate cook and a passionate lover. I can’t wait for two meals I’m getting tonight.
