"Thank you for your help Kate. Call me if you find anything else on Irina's family," I finish saying as I tap the end call. Looking back down at the book in front of me, I pinch the top of my nose, close my eyes, and lean back.

Just when I think I've found something on you Irina, I find myself at a dead end. Just who the hell are you?

Opening my eyes, I move my hand from my nose and sit up in my chair as my attention falls back to the book in front of me. Taking a deep breath, I turn the page of the thin, crinkly, deep brown, old page and feel eyes watching me.

"Plan to stand there all night?" I ask turning to look at her.

"Are you alright?" Yuri asks as she stands in the doorway of my study.

Closing the dark brown ancient book on my family's history, I take another deep breath and look at her. She winks at me as she is standing with her hands folded in the pockets of a white fluffy robe, which I assume is covering her night gown. This always seemed to be how she acted when she wants to seduce me.

"I know you're still upset about Jake being injured by the wolf."

"I am fine," I tell her as she walks into the study. Making her way over to me, she smiles with a small pep in her step.

"What are you up to?" I ask knowing she is up to something.

"I think you have done enough reading for the day. It's time for you to come to bed," she says sitting in my lap. "Are you ready?"

"I cannot sleep," I groan. "I have rouges and hunters to think about."

Yuri looks at me in confusion as if she is thinking long and hard. As if a light bulb clicks in her head, her eyes grow wide, and then they go narrow.

"Your lying. Your thinking about her aren't you?" Yuri growls. She hops off of my lap and throws her hands in the air as she walks to the other side of the study. "This woman isn't even apart of your life, yet you sit here thinking about her! I am the only woman you should be thinking about Ezra!"

"Do not raise your voice at me," I calmly say as I look back down at another family book and open it.

How am I not to think about Irina? Aside from the fact that she is carrying my child, there is no record of her. Just who is she? There's a bigger picture here, I just don't have a single piece to put it together.

Yuri marches to me, snatches the book, and throws it. Growing angry, I slam my hands down on the oak desk and stand from my seat. Crossing her arms, Yuri stomps her foot.

"Must you act like a child for attention!" I shout.

"As if I ever get attention. My parents sent me here so we could join our packs and strengthen them. I am a Queen! A Princess! Your Queen! You are to think of me, not about some other woman!"

"You are not my Queen yet!" I shout loud enough to make her flinch.

"Only because you won't mark me! I have been waiting to be your queen. Waiting. Yet, you still haven't even thought about it. I'm not even going to be the one to give you your first heir. Some stupid woman is. If she was here I would kill her in a heartbeat!" Yuri shouts as she walks in front of me with her hands placed on her small figure and her nostrils flaring.

"You forget to know your place Yuri, do I need to put you back in it?" I growl. Feeling my temperature grow, my breathing becomes heavy. Panic stretches across Yuri's face.

Feeling my vision starting to black out, I try to calm myself. "Erza, baby, calm down. I'm sorry," Yuri says reaching out to touch my arm. "I didn't mean to upset you. You know how I get. Let's just go to bed."

Yuri steps closer to me and moves her hand to rub my chest. "I'm sorry I said I would kill her," she says rolling her eyes as her hands are now wrapped around the back of my neck. Her lips, inches from mine, her eyes flicker up to my eyes and down to my lips.

"You know I wouldn't hurt her while she is carrying your baby. I'm sorry. I know how important this baby is to you."

Feeling my anger dropping within a split second, I inhale her scent hard. Growling, I look at Yuri like she's a piece of meat.

Wrapping my arms around Yuri's waist, I brush my lips across her's until I kiss her hard and lift her up in my arms. Walking over to my desk, I place her down and untie her robe revealing her in matching black lingerie. Running her fingers through my hair, I look at her chest. I find myself rubbing her breast while I kiss her chest with no control. Kissing her on up, Yuri's nails move to my back and she slowly runs them down my spine.

"Mark me," Yuri says softly as she breaks the kiss and reveals her neck to me. "I'm ready to be your Queen."

Part of me wants to erupt in laughter at her words, but I actually find myself moving closer to her neck and trail my fingers down to her shoulder. Feeling as if a pull is drawing me to her neck, I feel my pupils dilate. Inching in to bite her neck, I hear footsteps running to the study and find myself stopping.

"Why did you stop?" Yuri asks seeming annoyed.

"Alpha!" Rick shouts as he rushes into the study. Rick is breathing hard as beads of sweat drops from his head. His shirt black shirt has a few rips in it as well as his blue jeans.

Shaking my head as if I have been pulled out of a trance, I turn to look at Rick and notice worry and a hint of anger across his face as he eyes us. Yuri jumps from the desk and pulls her robe across her body. Rick's face hold pain more than I have ever seen.

"Rick, what's wrong?" I ask feeling alert. "Is Jake okay?"

"Ezra, it's Irina," he says huffing a bit as the worry on his face grows.

I feel my heart stop at the sound of her name.

"She was in a car wreck! She was rushed to the hospital!" Rick rushes to say as he runs his hand through his hair.

My eyes widen as I feel as if every pinch of air has been knocked out of my body. "W-what?" I ask feeling as though his words are only a joke.

Please tell me this is a joke.

"Irina was just in a car wreck. A group of wolves that were watching her by your request reported that they saw another car crash into her."

I stair at him like he's speaking a foreign language.

"The car crash wasn't an accident Ezra. She was targeted."
