Easton was cleaning the house and was planning to hold a meeting afterward to announce his and Blake's mating but to a limited number of people again. They couldn't afford to get caught in their actions now. It was too dangerous. He tidies the cinema area which was the messiest one. The bed in there was wet from all the ice play and more. He chuckles picking up the bed and walking to the balcony.

Doing this reminded him of the earlier days when Easton wet the whole bed just to wake up Blake for a run. He stretches the mattress across the railing and walks inside for more work. His mind was slightly preoccupied with today's dream. It was really creepy. Though he was haunted by nightmares for so long after Mr. and Mrs. Alpine's death, it was back in the past. He hasn't any odd dreams since Blake walked into his life then why all of a sudden.

But, what killed him the most was the later part where Blake was dragged away from him. As if he was being punished for his sins and Moon Goddess came in the shape of Mila and Dean to take his Blake away.

Stop thinking bullshit, Easton.

"Yeah, sorry"

The older alpha knew that he was upsetting Aziel with his thoughts. Both the alphas had the whole time for themselves during the mating and the wolves didn't really get any. He was guilty that even though Kai and Aziel wanted to be together the time was short.

"I can finally fucking breath!" someone announces from the back and the older alpha knew right away who it was, he didn't any attention and ignored the half-vampire. "That is not so good way to welcome your well-wisher" Tib says with an annoyed tone.

"What is it, Tib?" the words were plain, a bit more bitter than the usual. It brought Tib on the edge. Easton wasn't happy about talking to Tib like this but could he help it? It was disturbed enough by the dream, upon that he couldn't even say that how much he longed for his mate, how much he needed him for every single second for the rest of his life, that how much he... how much he loved him.

"Tell me what is it before I leave snakes on your dick" Tib warns blocking Easton's way.

"What?" the older looks at his friend with a disgusted look. "You are sick" he then chuckles shaking his head.

"I am. I know" the half-vampire smiles giddily and gets a hold of Easton's hand. He takes the alpha to the couch and settles him down. "What will you drink? Green tea or Orange juice?"

"Do you realize that this is my house?" Easton asks, nevertheless getting comfortable to be served. He was liking this princely treatment. "I have one of you invade my kitchen and the other one, who is also my beta, is lying like a dead body" he directs that towards Duncan, who was placed straight on the couch, hands to his sides and legs in "attention".

Duncan had sneaked in from the window because Tib was reluctant to take him in by teleporting and Easton would not have opened the door for him. Poor baby.

"Like I care" Tib says coming back from the kitchen and bringing in some kiwi juice in two glasses, from the fridge. The was none for the beta, now will a dead person will have some? No.

"You asked me green tea or orange juice?" Easton looks suspiciously at the green liquid.

"Did you reply? No. And I was in the mood for this, so here" he hands over the glass and plops down on his personal chair. "And let that man be" he says looking at Duncan who was staring into the ceiling. "He got his ass whooped by your father" the half-vampire lets out a teasing laugh at his state.

"Pfft-" Easton breaks out laughing, lightening the mood. "Serves you right for touching my little brother" Duncan glares at his alpha who was grinning from ear to ear, sighing he turns his eyes towards the ceiling again. Helpless.

"So, tell me what's up?" he questions taking a sip of the tangy drink. Easton gets prepared to say "nothing" again but when he finds Tib glaring daggers at him that said Tib could chop his precious organ off without the help of any snake, Easton gulped before letting out his concerns.

"I have been really uneasy these days" he admits. Tiberius does not reply but urges him to continue with a nod. "Until today's morning, my head was all over the place. The incoming calls that the rogues with Christian could attack us any second, that I have let my mate stay so away from me that too in the same house with a woman who had intentions to end him. It all gave me a real headache"

"And to top that this "heat". It made me think with my lower half than my head" he groans, remembering the bare-minimum control he had on his penis.

"Did you-... did you force Blake into mating?" Tib gets up from his chair, all aggressive. If that was the case, he would make Easton regret being born. Doesn't matter if you are his mate, assent is important. Duncan gets on his elbows perking up at the mention of "force".

"WHAT? NO! I would never do that" Easton replies immediately which cools down the half-vampire a bit and Duncan relaxes back. Tib makes an apologetic face and smiles towards the alpha to continue. Easton shifts his eyes from his friend and looks towards the juice glass. "When Blake came to meet me this morning, I felt so contented" he recalls that magical moment.

"Everything just happened out of nowhere and we ended up giving each other everything we got" he states. "This-" he shows the bite mark on his neck which was now turned into Blake's beautiful marking. It seemed like a tattoo in all black with elegantly Blake's name written at the very below, all flowery. "It makes me feel so complete, so worthy. I have never felt like this before" Easton says with a little twinkle dancing in his eyes and a sweet smile. Tib's lips also stretch into a smile watching his friend this happy.

"But, then this stupid dream...." Easton holds his palms against his eyes. "The dream felt so real. That someone will take my mate away from me. I felt paralyzed" the older alpha states.

"Now I see...." Tib nods.

"See what?"

"Well, they say a mate can feel the danger near his/her mate sooner than anyone"Tib trails off.

Wh-what does he mean? Sooner? What danger?

Aziel growls in anger how could this vampire say that their mate will get into danger. How dare he?

"Pipe down, pup" Tib raises his hands in surrender. "That is how it happens and with the news I got, it's best if we get Blake back here" the vampire declares in a lower voice.

"What news?" Easton was now on his two, with his face scrunches up in anger and pain. What is wrong? What about Blake?

"I was told that Christian is going to attack tomorrow. 'Cause, it's the full moon and we all get weak then" Duncan opens his mouth for the first time.

"YOU SHOULD TELL ME THAT FIRST!!" Easton growls with his eyes shining amber. "Blake... I should get Blake...." Easton whispers knocking away the juice glass down on the carpet. "B-Blake" he sweats and mumbles incoherently to get his mate back. He takes off towards the door, grabbing his keys to go.

"Easton!" Tib runs after the alpha. "Easton!" he grabs the man by the arm. "Let's get him here. I can teleport him" the other alpha nods understanding. Tib closes his eyes for a second but snaps them open when the alpha standing next to him slumped against the floor with a loud thud. "Easton!!"

"Alpha!!" Duncan runs to his best friend. Easton held the hand on his chest as a piercing pain passed through it. He squirmed grasping the piece of cloth he was wearing. It hurts.

A glass-breaking scream erupted from the dry throat of the older alpha. "BLAKE!!!!!!!!!" he shrieked, his eyes unconsciously bawling out. His heart wrenched in several directions and felt like a knife been stabbed through it countless times. He cried bending forward on his knees while his other hand grabbed his hair mercilessly.

Tib slaps hard on the back of the alpha and Easton passes out in a second. "What did you do?" Duncan came angrily on the vampire.

"Fainted him. If this would've continued for few more minutes, there was a chance of him going completely insane" Tib kept his calm and looked pitifully at his friend. The loss must have already be done. "Or worse..." he trails.

"W-why did he-?" Duncan worriedly followed after Tib who had already shifted Easton from the ground to the couch where the beta was resting earlier.

"Blake is in Christian's possession" he states. "whatever happened with him is stressing emotionally and physically on their bond"

--------------------------

"B-Blake?" Cora shutters upon the huge man walk from the entrance. She looks back at her unconscious son and then at the guy who stood all stern and stoic. "W-what?" she looked bewildered and panicked.

"Oh, honey. You got it wrong. Samael, come here" Christian gestures towards his "so-called" son. Samael puts his head down and walks towards the rogue alpha. The rogue grabs Samael by the nape and pats him. "This is my son, Samael Christian Jensen" the alpha states.

"Y-your son?" Cora perplexed. Christian's son? How was that even possible? She has been with Christian for most of his life. Just before few days, the alpha couple had Blake, Christian was declared rogue by her then-husband. Then after a few years, Cora ran away from the pack to Christian, they weren't any possible time he could have such a big kid.

Moreover, a boy that looked exactly like Blake. Is that? Was that? No no no. That wasn't possible. Christian's loved her, he would never do something that cruel to her, would he? Of course not!

Christian laughs very loudly throwing his head back looking poorly at the witch. "Baby, baby, baby....." he smiles that looked very, very evil. "Everything you mapped in your head right now. All- All the Math, Science you did or in this case" he gestures between Cora and Samael "Biology....*chuckle* is absolutely right"

"What?" Cora finds herself looking at her so-called "love" with a dumb expression.

"Yes, honey. He is exactly the one who you think he is, aren't you, Samael?" Christian questions. The big boy raises his head slightly, to look at the woman who was weeping on the floor. He nods towards her and puts his head down again. Cora shakes intensely as her eyes bawl themself out. 'This can't be happening' she thinks, trembling from the shock. "See..." Christian removes his hand from Samael's shoulder and takes two steps towards the woman. "Get me some tea, Samael" the boy nods before leaving the room in a second.

He scrunches down on his feet and lifts Cora's face with his index finger. "You are so dumb, honey" he states. "This was going all along with your stay with me all these years and you the great witch Cora Zippel couldn't even get a hint out of it" he laughs, throwing the chin away from his hold. He gets up on his feet and extends his arms widely above the head. "But! But, thanks to that, thanks to your dumbness, Cora I have my previous alpha blood here who I can finally consume on" he finishes.

Cora cries loudly, wanting to kill her stupid self for all those years. How can she so dense? "Now, don't cry in my ears that, "how can I be so dumb? How can I be so dense?", alright?" he mimics. "You weren't really stupid, Cora. Instead, you were anxious, you were disturbed, you were jealous and there boom! I got the cracks I was looking for, and yours and Christopher's relationship slipped like sand. You stopped trusting him, he turned out to be just another in your life and that worked on my side" he declares.

"I did nothing. I played wisely using your weaknesses to my benefit" he smirks. Cora gets on her feet and slaps the rogue hard on the cheek.

"How could you?" she keeps slapping the man, which resulted in burst opening his lip. "How could you?" he hits him on the chest but that doesn't wipe off Christian's disgusting smile. He gets a hold of her hands by the wrists. He could feel the blood in his mouth, he takes out his tongue and licks the area. The wound heals away in one go.

"Cora, dear, I know that you are hurt but you should know that you can't hurt me but just these bamboo sticks" he pushes the woman by the hands making her slump back on the ground. "You should know better than anyone, you fed me the blood of every supernatural creature that existed, with your own hands" the witch cries harder realizing what she created. "Another "thanks" to you, I cannot die just like any other rogue"

"You turned me into something really special, Cora" he laughs hysterically.

--------------------------

"Is he up?" Ezra peeks into the living area for the hundredth time. Tib has been seated right next to the alpha all this time and there wasn't a single movement. It has been an hour.

"Not yet but he will be anytime now. The magic takes a maximum of an hour to whereof. And since this man is at his weak point, it will for sure take the maximum time" Tib informs. He very well knew his capabilities and his magic, nevertheless he was worried.

Watching the strongest alpha knew lying unconscious was giving rise to his insecurities. Ezra sat beside the half-vampire while Duncan was gone to instruct the pack for the attack. Their alpha's life was in danger, they couldn't possibly sit and watch.

A slight movement in Easton's body brings the men on edge. They perk and move closer to the alpha. "B-Blake" he mumbles incoherently. His eyes balls move at an insane speed as if he was dreaming something cruel. Something very bad.

His body moves abruptly, and his fingers dig into the couch. The talons grow out long, destroying the new asset. His eyes snap open and the vibrant amber dances in panic. He leaps forward from his resting position and tries to stand.

"Aziel! Stop" Tib gets into the way, stopping the wolf from getting away from the house and on his way to destroy the man's neck who touches his mate.

"Move" he growls, his nose flaring with anger.

"Aziel, listen to me first" Tib argues. The wolf raises his hand to push away the vampire but Ezra gets in the way.

"Brother, please" he begs. The visual of his younger brother calm the wolf a bit.

The wolf relaxes for a second with his chest heaving with deep breaths. He doesn't let out any voice just looks at Tib telling him to speak up. The half-vampire nods his head and explains the situation.

He says how Duncan has gone to get them the army they would need. The plan that has been laid by the half-vampire and whereabouts of Christian.

Tiberius was well aware of Christian's abnormal strength. A mere rogue couldn't possibly have controlled Emmeline. She was one of the young but strong vampires. And the way he managed to Cora all these years said a lot more about his brain.

They needed a plan for this.

The wolf learns everything fed to him and then decides to speak. "So, you want me to wait until you get your so-called "army" ready and leave my mate in danger?" he argues.

He does have a point. Leaving Blake overnight in such a place could get them in a much worse situation. What if the maniac there plots something to eliminate the younger alpha.

He takes a deep breath and looks at the pair of worried faces. "I know you guys just wanted me to be safe but this is my mate we are talking about. I cannot leave him there. I'm sorry" he says walking to the door.

"I'm coming with you" Tib announces nodding towards Ezra. He sprints to Aziel who had decided to take the back door to the jungle. The wolf runs towards the door, slams open it and change his form the second he gets on the ground.

Try keeping yourself invisible.

The wolf instructs to which Tib nods and gets concealed into the thin air. The big black wolf runs into the forest knowing exactly where he was off to.

The South gate.

Or so he thought. The house at the South gate was nowhere to be seen. There was barren land as far as your eyes went.

"I knew this would happen" Tib comments standing beside Aziel.

Now what?

"Now, we go where your nose takes us" he comments and the wolf understands it quite well. It was time to bring in the extra senses of a werewolf and trap down the asshole and get his mate back. And that was only possible if he could track the beautiful scent of his mate.

The mouth-watering Coffee beans.
