When that name came out of Caine's mouth I felt my body freeze. And my wolf was running out of control inside of me.

"Take me to her, now" I let out my wolf's growl and I watch Caine strength up a little bit and his eyes grow dark. I know he wanted to snap her neck as much as I wanted to. But this was my responsibility.

He nodded before he opens the balcony door. We both go into the warm room and walk past Aurora who was still sleeping soundly in the bed. We both look her way before leaving the room.

I follow Caine as we walk down the dark hallway, we go down the stairs. We make our way to the outside porch.

Beta Ally, Elijah, and Jordan welcome us with a tall blond woman who I'm assuming was Caine's sister, who was holding Lena by her hair.

"Brother, let me introduce you to my sister, Cara. Cara this is my..well this is my brother"

"Nice to finally meet you," she says as he extends her left hand for me to shake, as she still holds on to Lena who looks very beat up.

I couldn't feel bad for her. Not one bit.

"Nice to meet you as well" I reply back, my eyes not leaving Lena.

"I hope I get to meet my dear sister-in-law soon?" Cara asks as she looks around. Her eyes land on Laurel who was sending Lena daggers with her eyes.

"Momma Laurel" Cara calls out to her and Laurel steps closer. Her eyes still trained on Lena.

"Yes, my dear?" She asks Cara in a sweet motherly tone.

"Can you please wake up the Luna. I think she has to be here for this since this damn bitch is responsible for a bunch of shit"

"That's not-"

"Little brother, Luna Aurora needs to be here. I know that you like to do things under the radar but she is our Luna and you know from now on, she needs to be aware of everything. This is a decision of everyone here. So please Momma Laurel if you would be so kind to bring Aurora over to us that would be great." Cara orders Laurel who looks over to Caine before he nods.

Laurel leaves to get Aurora and my palms get sweaty. The hatred I was feeling towards her was stomach-turning.

"Thaddeus please" Lena begs, as tears begin to form in her eyes.

"Don't listen to her. Russian bitches tend to be little tricksters. Trust me I dated one." Cara replies as she pulls Lena's hair a little bit more.

"How nice it is to finally see you come out of that huge closet" Caine mocks as he ruffles Cara's hair.

"Oh stop it. It was for work. She couldn't keep up with me even if she wanted to. And besides, it was always a competition with her on who could dress better. I couldn't do it" Cara shrugs her shoulders before she looks at one of her nails and frowns.

Aurora walked out of the house with Laurel behind her. "What's going on?" She asks before her eyes land on Lena. "You...I prayed for the day I could see your damn face again."

We all turn to Aurora and see that it was no longer her but her wolf.

"Hey sis! It's so nice to finally meet you! I am sorry that I had to pop over here like this but. I have a little present for you guys. Now we kept her identity hidden but it will only be a matter of time until her father starts looking for her" Cara says as she lets go of Lena making her fall to her knees. "it's better to kill her and let the Committee deal with the rest. There is evidence of what she has done, they won't start shit with you guys, you know how the Committee works."

Aurora calms down a little bit before she gives Cara a soft smile.

"I will deal with her," I say before turning to Aurora who is giving me a look of uncertainty.

Caine went behind Aurora and put his arm across her chest, pulling her back to him. "As much as I want to tear her apart right in his instant, we need information from her, maybe she knows where your father is at"

"When you get that information, you let me know too, I believe our whole existence might be in jeopardy if any girls show signs of being a werewolf to a human out there." Cara's face turns cold before she pushes Lena down with her foot. "And if that happens, I swear I will come and kill her myself because I know that you are into their little plan to send more girls over to your cold country". Cara whispers loud enough in Lena's ear as she pulls her hair back lifting her up again.

"Take her to the cells" Caine orders Elijah to take her.

Lena was still on the ground, her eyes looking at her hands. Elijah walks over and grabs her by the arm, pulling her up. I watch as two other guards join him and take her down the dark road to the cells.

I turn to Caine and Aurora as he is still holding on to her. She had a frown on her face.

"We will go and talk to her tomorrow" Caine breaks the silence.

"No. I told you to let me handle this".

"But she-"

"I SAID I WILL HANDLE IT!" My wolf took over and spoke for me. Aurora took a step back before Caine came face to face with me.

"I get that you are upset because you can't kill her at this moment, and your blood-thirsty wolf is asking for blood, but you can't just talk to Aurora like that. We all need to get information from Lena. She knows where Aurora's father might be at and we need to find him so we can find out where those girls are at! Shit Thaddeus! Control your wolf" Caine threatens.

He was right. We needed her alive. But my wolf wanted blood and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to hold off if I stand in front of her. There was a reason I was always calm and collected. Because if I let my wolf take over it would mean a blood bath. I didn't want to let that part of me resurface again.

I let out a sigh as I run my hands through my hair.

"Fine. But I get to talk to her last tomorrow. So you better get all of the information that we need and then I kill her."

I start to walk away before I feel a small warm hand holding on to my arm. I turn around and face her. She looked worried, sad, I couldn't put my finger on it but I hated seeing her like this.

"What if I don't want you to kill her, maybe she had her reasons Thaddeus"

"Aurora. She set up all of this, alongside your father. She wanted to kill you. She wanted you dead! And anyone that threatens my family, my pack and my Luna, will die. I need you to understand this".

"I do Thaddeus. I want to know where my mom is and where those girls are at, more than anyone right now. But we need to go in with a clear head"

"I've made my mind Aurora. It's the way that my family does it, it's also my way" I said as I look away from her. Before heading inside the house. "I would do anything for you, and that means taking out anyone that threatens your existence. I would fight the Moon Goddess for you Aurora. Let me protect you, the only way I know how to"

Aurora nods and I lean down to her capturing her lips. "Now let's go, it's getting cold out and I don't want you to get sick".

She walks into the house first followed by Caine but I stop him.

"You know we talked about this"

He nods silently. "You know I ain't going to stop you from doing what you got to do. I lost two pups and other people from my pack because of that rabid bitch. I'm not stopping you" he reassures us we both walk in together.

He turns to his guards to give orders and I follow quietly after Aurora.

I know she was upset, and I'm sure she wasn't used to seeing me like this. I hated that she hated seeing this side of me. I knew that she felt uncomfortable. But when you are Alpha and you have lives that depend on you, you got to do what's right for everyone. Even if it means killing someone. And this was something that she had to know if she was to become Alpha herself.

"Aura...I am sorry"

"Don't be. I know this is something that you have to do. I'm not going to stop you from doing this.

"Yea she was never a good person" I confess as I take off my shirt before laying down. Aurora lays down and cuddles next to me just like she did earlier. My fingers start to caress her shoulder softly and I feel how her skin gets a few goosebumps.

"If she was never a good person...what did you see in her that you ended up mating with her".

Aurora's question was something that I always asked myself, but I had stopped after a while because I just couldn't make sense of it.

"Because of the life that I lived. Aurora I wasn't always a good guy." This made her sit up on the bed.

"Talk to me" she replies back softly, as her fingers play with my rough and callous hands.

"Lena completed the type of man that I was back then. I was arrogant, ignorant, money-hungry, vicious. Ever since I had turned 16, when I first shifted I felt like that. I felt as if the world belonged to me and no one else. I was actually ready to take over Caine's pack when I had turned 18. We had met at those annual worldwide meetings that the council held and I remember how I just...walked up to him and told him that I would take over his pack one day. And he just laughed. He had been In power for a year when I had met him. And I hated him. Then five years after that I met Lena. It wasn't love at first sight, I never loved her. She just...fit me back then. She fit the person I was. But after a while. I still felt this void in my chest. That no matter how many cars I bought, how many trips I took, no matter how much money I had in the bank, I felt this emptiness and it just never went away. That was when my brother came from our pack in France and told me about The Games. Lena was in Russia to visit family and I was at home looking over my peaceful pack. So...I figured that it should be fun but I didn't really think much of it. But that was until I got there. And two hours in my nose picked up the sweetest and alluring of scents I have never smelled. And my wolf...my wolf Aurora...I couldn't begin to tell you how crazy he got. I almost had to block him from my mind because he wanted to just find you and mark you".

Aurora giggled at this.

"What did it felt like...when you first saw me?" she asks attentively.

"When I first laid my eyes on you I wanted nothing but to make you mines. Right there and then. But I fought it. All of this time I had been fighting it. That night though, when that wolf was trying to hurt you, I aimed to kill him, it was one of the rules to not kill but, I didn't care...I...I actually..."

"You what?" Aurora asks attentively.

"I might have sent a few people to kill him"

Silence.

"Thaddeus why would you.."

"Don't worry, I found out he had a warrant for attempted murder and conspiracy so I had him turn over it to the committee"

I feel her calm down when I told her that.

"You worry too much"

"Can you blame me? This past month has been insane." She replies back as she cuddles up closer to me.

"Thaddeus?"

I hum a response.

"Do you..regret any of this?"

I turn to her and I'm sure I look crazy. How dare she ask something like that.

"Are you really asking me this? you have been one of the best of things that had happened to me. You have changed me. Bloody hell I am a better werewolf because of you, I'm a better man, I want to be a better man. For you"

My words take her back. I can see it in her eyes as she gives me a smile. Goddess that smile.

I lean in and capture her lips with mines in a soft kiss.

"Now go to sleep. You have to interrogate that witch soon. Good night princess". I say as I kiss the top of her head.

"Good night". She whispers before she falls asleep.

I held on to her tight as she slept.

Caine came into the room not long afterward and laid down on the bed. He wrapped his arms around Aurora as she had her hands around me. I hear Caine's steady heartbeat telling me that he was asleep too.

"It's going to be a long night, maybe you should go and snap her neck"

"Nope, we are not doing that" I replied back to my wolf.

"You are no fun"

"It's called maturing and growing up"

"It's called payback for hurting our mate Thaddeus".

His voice was rough. My wolf was easily angered which is why I tried my best to avoid certain situations. But right now he was messing around with my peaceful time.

"You will get your chance for that tomorrow".

————————————————————

And tomorrow couldn't come soon enough. I had managed to sleep a little bit but my thought kept me from sleeping well. I was already up and ready to go by the time Caine woke up.

"You didn't sleep didn't you ?" He asks as he walks past me towards the mini-fridge that he had installed. When he asked me to look over at the plan for this room, I told him that it needed to be like a penthouse and he did just that. It's comfortable for us. He takes out two water bottles before tossing one to me. "The weed should have helped a bit," Caine says.

"I didn't smoke enough to feel much."

"Looks Like we going again tonight then" he pats my back. Caine walks over to the bed and places a soft kiss on Aurora's forehead before putting in his jacket. I walk over and do the same. I wish I was staying with her, sleeping in but things had to be done.

"Wow she really sleeps like a log" I bring up and Caine let's put a small laugh.

"She did mention that she loves to sleep".

We skip breakfast and go straight to the cells.

The guards were ready for us when we walked in there. Elijah welcomes us and we immediately made our way to where she was being held.

"Let me interrogate her first, I don't even wanna know what you gonna do the moment I look away". Caine explained and I nodded. I'm glad he was doing it that way because I would surely snap her neck the moment I walked in.

He was right. I didn't even know what I was going to do. "That's fine I'll head back and make something to eat, you know females' appetite after the mating bond can be intense."

Caine's eyes widen in realization before he runs a hand through his hair. "Shit, feed her everything she wants to eat" he winks at me and I understand what he means.

At that moment, Beta Ally shows up and she walks into the interrogation room with Caine right behind her.

Even though, she had to be there as beta. I can understand Aurora's insecurity. Ally was a beautiful tall, well-built woman with golden locks and the bluest eyes. Still, her beauty was no match next to Aurora.

I was glad she wasn't here though because I'm sure she would flip out on Caine. I knew this was going to take long, and I wasn't going to sit here and smell Lena until it was my turn to talk to her.

I head back home and go straight to the kitchen where I start cooking up breakfast. By nature, females tend to wake up with an insatiable hunger after the mating, also her hormones would be going crazy too, so I had to keep an eye out for her.

"Morning!" I turn to find Aurora walking into the kitchen. She was wearing one of Caine's button-up shirts and her hair was curly and messy. But I loved it. She smelled freshly showered and I just wanted to nuzzle her neck. And I did.

She moaned softly against my ear and I lost it. My hands go to her butt and I pick her up in my arms. She wraps her legs and arms around me to keep balance as I pin her against the kitchen counter.

The sun was starting to come up and the Golden morning light was coming through the blinds, hitting Aurora at the right spots. I pull back to look at her and she just looked so beautiful. Her lips were swollen and her eyes were dark. It didn't take long for me to smell her arousal. Immediately the thought of Lena and the interrogation gets pushed to the back of my head and all I can think of is being inside Aurora and making her mine all over again.

My wolf wanted her bad right now and he was going to have her if she allowed. I put my hands on either side of her on the counter and lower myself to her, capturing her lips in a slow but hungrily motion. It wasn't long until her kiss became needy and desperate and I gave in to her.

I ripped open the shirt she was wearing and pulled down her panties, letting them fall to the floor. I pull her towards me before I lower myself to her heated core. She smelled delicious, my wolf and I were happy we were finally going to get a taste of her. I begin to lick and suck her pussy softly before I focus on flickering her clit with my tongue. After a bit of tongue play, I begin to finger her. I curl my fingers just a bit and begin to move them faster inside of her.

"Oh, my Goddess Yes...Thaddeus, please don't stop!" Aurora begs as she lays back on the counter. Her small hands holding on to my arm before they go up to her boobs as she starts to caress and squeeze them.

My pants zipper was going to break open if I didn't let my dick out. I bring my hands to undo my belt and bring them down low enough so that I can do what I have to do to please my Luna.

"What if someone comes, you know we aren't fully by ourselves here. Laurel probably gonna come down soon to get started with breakfast soon" Aurora says as her cheeks turn red.

"Well, make sure you make enough noise so they know better than to come in and interrupt us" she laughs at this before I pull her closer to the counter edge.

I give her a look and she smiled. As much as I wanted to ram myself into her. I wanted to make sure this was what she wanted.

I hold on to her right leg as I push myself in her. She moans and her eyes roll back. She was so tight and wet that I felt as if I could cum right there. The faces that she was making and the noises that were coming out of her were not helping me at all.

"Shit Aurora," I say as I pull her hair back exposing her neck. I wanted to sink my teeth into her again. Marking her again.

I nibbled a bit on her neck as I continued to thrust into her. Each time she moaned louder and louder and I knew that she was reaching her peak. She sits up on the counter and I pull her closer to me as I continue to fuck her. I feel myself reaching my orgasm and I feel her walls wrapping tighter around my dick.

I bring her body closer to mines as our skins connect a bit more even tho we are both wearing our tops. Her nails start to dig the back of my neck signaling me to come closer to her. I lower my lips to hers and kiss her roughly as I cum. The feeling of cuming inside of her was so surreal but I embraced it fully as I'm sure she did too. I kissed her forehead softly as we both come down from our little quick sex session. Our breathing calmed down and I helped her down the counter.

"I wanna go again," Aurora says and I smirk.

"I knew we were going to have you addicted"

We finish up our food that I miraculously managed to cook and on cue Laurel walks in.

"Goddess it smells like sex and burnt toast in here!" She said as she starts to go around the kitchen island with a porcelain place, fanning the air trying to get the "smell of sex" out.
