Alpha Nicholas's POV

Seeing her so broken killed me I wanted to make all her heart ache go away, but I couldn't and it was all my fault. I was surprised she let me hold her. Even if it was for a minute, it's was a minute I would cherish forever. She was perfect in my arms. Her scent wrapped around me like a soothing blanket. I watched as she did the hardest thing telling Nate the truth, in the process watching everything crumble before her. Maybe Nate was right about Addison making up this story to scare Alexa off, but I knew at that moment I became her protector and I would be vigilant at all times for her. With Nate not around I'm all she has. If she was women enough to tell Nate then I had to man up and tell Hannah no matter how hard this was going to hurt her. As I made my way towards the house I felt as each step weighed on me.

I was actually afraid for the first time being here in my own house. This can ultimately change everything it can either go good or bad. I took a deep breath and prepared for the worst.

"Hannah?" I called out for her as I walked up the stairs.

"Yeah! I’m in the bedroom." She called out. When I walked into the room she was in bed with the bedside lamp illuminating her blonde curls. She looked beautiful she smile up at me. When I walked closer to her she must have sense something was wrong her smile fell from her face.

"What wrong Nicky?" She said as she said getting up in bed and walking towards me.

"Hannah... I have to tell you something but I don't want you to get worked up because of the baby. Just listen to what I have to say." I said hoping I didn't fuck this up too.

"Nick your scaring me... What's going on?" She asked looking up at me.

"Hannah..." I stayed silent as the words didn't want to leave my mouth. "I found my mat--" I was cut off by a sharp gasp. "NO… no don't say it Nick...please don't." I swallowed the lump forming in my throat as she held her belly.

"Hannah this doesn't change us. What we have will never change I already rejected her and she accepted it." I said to her while pulling her in my arms. She stiffen all of a sudden and push me back away from her, she narrowed her eyes at me.

"So you've been with her? When did you find out Nicholas?!" She yelled. I hung my head low, why because I kept it from her for far to long.

"I found her the night we got back..."

"Oh my god! It's her isn't it..." She whispered nodding her head "Is it Nicholas? Is your true mate Alexa." She asked in disbelief as every moment ran through her head. Before I knew it a stinging sensation slammed across my face my neck experienced extreme whiplash from the slap she gave me. I rubbed my face took a breath to calm myself, because in all honesty I deserved it. I turned to face her and tears were falling down her face like faucet water. I pulled her in my arms while she screamed and cried. I ran my fingers through her hair her body relaxed, and I spoke again.

"Han, I'm not going anywhere I'm here with you now and always. But you need to know the truth, and that she is also my responsibility. I need to make sure she's safe just as you are." I said she pulled out of my arms.

"Your kidding me right? You rejected her she accepted it. You don't owe her anything Nick she has Nate to keep her safe. Me and the baby are who need you." She hissed. I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Hannah! This is not up for discussion. Alexa no longer has Nate therefore as her Alpha I will make sure she is safe whether you like it or not. I love you Hannah I’m here with you I’m not leaving." I said to her she nodded and walked into the bathroom slamming the door. I left the room giving Hannah her space. My next move was to have a pack meeting tomorrow to double up rounds to make sure no one gets on my territory with my permission. Normally I would call my beta, but right now that wasn't the best idea so I would wait till tomorrow. Hopefully we can be civil.

Nathaniel's POV

After leaving Alexa it physically made me sick. I couldn't stomach what I did to her but this was for the best. As I walked in the house her scent hit me...it hit me hard. I held my breath not wanting to smell her. But I couldn't hold it for long. I walked into the kitchen to grab a beer. The first thing I saw was slice of cheese cake with a little sticky note 'Do not touch' signed initials A. I chucked because she would never get a piece; someone would always eat it on her. My heart ached I thought of her laugh, her beautiful dimples, her touch all the thing I would never have. I held on to the fridge as I suddenly felt weak. I gained my strength and walked up to my room, which was a mistake. All her things were scattered around the room taunting me. Even though I took most to Christine's I couldn't take it all.

After this long day I just want to lay down and wish it never happened. What would tomorrow bring? How will I face Nick my own best friend who lied to me not only about Alexa being his mate, but the fact that all these years Hannah was never his true mate. Where will that leave Alexa. So he rejected her so now what let her stand around watching him and his happy little family. Just the thought of it made me want to go over there and rip his fucking head off.

'We can mark her as ours, I need her wolf with me.' my wolf whispered.

'I can't we have a mate out there it's not fair to her and Alexa is perfect example of that.' I said to him as he howled.

'We love her.' My wolf growled. I shut him off.

I let my eyes close and it did no help for me. I couldn't sleep I keep tossing and turning. All I saw was my her face I held her pillow as close as I could. I inhaled her scent.

Julius's POV

I had to work fast that little bitch of Bryson's almost gave me out. He's lucky I didn't kill her on spot. After Melania heard of my plans she went ballistic clawing at me. I know I made a deal with her but that was so long ago it doesn’t hold up anymore. I will kill those two little shit's of Alexander's he ruin me. I will finish out my plan to kill the Rosé family, and I’ll throw Melania down in the cells until she calms herself. She asked me for one thing to let her see her girls. Since she has been so good to me over the years I could grant her that. She’ll watch as I kill them both.

I know my brother should still be out of town according to Karla. So if I am going to strike I need to do it tonight. They couldn't have prepared anything that soon.

Alexa's POV

I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. I sat in one of Christine's spare room wondering what I did I do to deserve this life. After taking a shower I felt so uncomfortable in the bed I felt so empty. I wouldn't have his arms around me to fall asleep. I missed him so much it hurts so bad.

I wish my sister were here, at the same time maybe it was better she wasn't I knew that she wouldn't want to stay in the house without me which would only cause problems for her and Mason. I decided to mind-link him even if its just to hear his voice.

'Nate...' I waited but no response.

'Nate … , please talk to me I miss you so much... Please' I cried. He didn't answer. I held my pillow tight and cried some more.

I couldn't stay here I needed air. I got out of bed pulled my boots on, and walked past Christine and Adams room as quietly as I could but there was no point. She and Adam were having there own party so loud they wouldn't have heard me even if I knocked on the door. Shaking my head I made my way outside. It was chilly thank god I grabbed my hoodie. I just started walking trying to taking my mind off of things.

There's not many places to walk around her everything is grass and trees. So I found myself where everything in my life seems to fall apart this damn falls. My rejection from Nick and my break up with Nate.

"What more do you have in store for me?" I yelled towards the waterfalls like an idiot. I laughed to myself how pathetic.

"There's a lot more in store for you... Alexa." I froze everything in drained. I was brought back seven years ago. That scent! I wouldn't forget even if I tried. I wanted to scream out or mind-link someone but my mind froze blank the words stuck in my throat.

"You know I never thought I'd find you. You and your sister did a good job at hiding out. But you messed up when you walked on pack grounds." His repugnant laugh echoed through the trees. I shivered I was going to die I thank the goddess for Dahlia not being here and away with Mason. She had a life and I had nothing. I thought to myself. I was far away from anyone's house. I was going to make a run for it. "Oh get this... In my own backyard. Out of all the packs you chose this one was the one to lead you right into my hands." He sneered.

I didn't bother turning to face him as I took off running I was about to shift when a group of vicious wolves came into view an I stopped as I was surrounded. My heart pounding in my chest.

"You shouldn't have done that." The man said as he stepped in front of me. I gasp at the resemblance he had to Julian. He smiled and licked his lips.

"You are even more beautiful than your mother." He said while he tried to touch my face. I smacked his hand away.

"Fuck you! You know nothing about my mother! You evil son of a bitch!" I yelped as his hand slapped across my face.

"Take her!" He yelled before I knew it some had my arms. I tried fighting and kicking but there was no use they were stronger. I used all the power in me to call to Nate through mind-link but he had his wall up, I couldn't get through. So I screamed for him as loud as I could.

"NATE!" It had every creature in the trees scattering. Then I felt a sharp pain in my neck and I blacked out.

Nathaniel's POV

I couldn't sleep I needed her in my arms. I got up to take cold shower. I needed it to get rid of my restlessness. I made my way into the bathroom and turned the shower on cold, stepping in my body went into shock for a second then I welcomed the icy water.

I stood there with my hands against the tile with my head hung low. Thoughts of us in the shower had me hardening at just the thought I finished quickly and got dressed and went down to the bar area. I poured me some whiskey and downed it. It was two thirty in the morning and here I was drinking.

'Nate...' I heard her delicate voice in my head. My heart stopped for a second. 'Nate ... please talk to me I miss you so much...' She sobbed. I couldn't find it in me to answer her. I had no idea what to say. I closed off my link to her. Slamming the glass against the wall. And I sobbed like a baby because I wanted to go back. It hurts just thinking about not having her here with me. What was I going to do? I continued to drink for the next hour nonstop. I felt someone trying to push through to me but I keep my wall up I didn't want to hear anyone.

I took another swig of whiskey and dropped the bottle as I her my name pierce through me as glass shattered into pieces on the grown.

'She's in trouble' my wolf growled. I was out the door I shifted mid air. I ran like my life depended on it. Her scent lead me to the clearing of the falls, but she was gone. I ran in every direction and found nothing and no other scent. My wolf howled in pain. They took her and I broke my promise to never leave her side. Whoever did this was dead!

I heard a twig snap, I quickly turned to that direction and came face to face then none other the Alpha Nicholas. I growled at him because he had no right coming here.

'Nate... Where is she?' He growled. I groaned.

'If I fucking knew that wouldn't she be here! Someone fucking took her' I growled back.

'This is all your fault, you should have stayed with her instead you walked away with your tail between your ass!' He hissed at me. Okay, asshole you pissed me off for the last time. I charged at him and the bastard fought back.

'If you would have waited for you real fucking mate this shit wouldn't have happened you selfish son of a bitch!' I knocked him over he quickly got up.

He bit down on my neck and pinned me down. He's teeth bared onto me.

'Do you love her?' He asked. What does that have to do with anything? I asked myself. Is he questioning my love for her. I growled.

'I love her so fucking much that I was willing to walk away so that she can be happy with you but you... You tossed her to the side like nothing and now she's gone.' I said as I gave up fighting him. I need to find my girl.

'Me! I watched as YOU walked away from her as she fucking begged for you not to leave her and you ignored her like nothing. I had to watch my mate beg on her hands and knees for another male, so think about that Nate...you walked away not me.' He took his paws off me and walked away.

'I'm calling a pack meeting now so get your shit together.' Nick said and closed his link to me.

I was so fucked up right now did I push her away? I thought I was doing the best thing by her. What happens when I find my mate? Moon goddess give me a sign... I don't know what I’m doing anymore I’m so confused.

I made my way home I lost it. I couldn't stomach the fact that I pushed her away and now she was in danger. I wanted get my hands around someone to get rid of this anger in me. I looked at myself in the mirror and I punched it shattering my image. After I was calm I quickly changed and went to the pack house. Every guy from the pack was there. When I walked to the front everyone stopped talking afraid I would blow up. I stood tall next to Nick no matter how pissed I was at him right now, I had push that aside because finding Alexa was first priority.

"I called this emergency pack meeting because one of our own has been taken from our lands an--"

"We want every fucking nose out there sniffing the fucking grounds! There has to be a lead somewhere and whoever did this I want there blood on my hands!" I cut Nick of with all his formalities. Nick narrowed his eyes at me. Then looked to Michael.

"Michael, I need you to run a trace on a cell number to find out what area the call was made from." Nick instructed him “On it!” Michael said and ran off.

"I want reports in ten from every one of you!" Nick said as everyone left the room.

"What next?" I asked looking at Nick who looked like shit.

"I called my dad he's on his way... He said he may know who's behind this." I growled

"Why can't he fucking tell you now! Where the hell is he anyway?" Nick looked away from me I knew he wasn't telling me something.

"What Nick?" I asked him as he stared out the window rubbing the back of his neck.

"He's bringing other wolf packs with him, we will need every wolf we can get. My uncle’s pack are ruthless. It’s going to get ugly Nate." He whispered. The memory of Alexa talking with Julian about the men who killed her parents, and who she was running from. Could it be the same men?

Alexa's POV

"Ugh." I groaned as I woke up on hard cold cement floor. I tried pulling myself up, but I couldn't that bastard chained me to the floor.

"Hello?!" I yelled. It was dark and gloomy only light was the narrow hall that I could see. I heard a chain on the other side of the room.

"Don't make any noise they’ve been waiting for you to get up." A raspy voice said. Something about the voice gave me chills my gut twisted.

"Who are you?" I asked.

The chain began to move again. A silhouette came into view I couldn't see much. As if on cue the lights turned on in the cell I was in. I gasp, hyperventilate. This can't be maybe I must be hallucinating. I looked again and she stood there with tears falling down her face. She was battered and bruised.

"Mama?" I whispered.
