I didn't mean to go on a rampage. I didn't mean to start throwing shit around and I certainly didn't mean for me to have a break down in the middle of the garden. The garden was no longer the pristine sanctuary that the Queen wanted it to be, it was a mess of thrown flowers and broken wood. I stood amongst all of it, smack dab in the center, clutching my head as I tried to forget everything.

I could only hope it was me that was going to die.

"Lena!" I looked up to Ethan, running to me with complete worry on his face. His hands shook as he took me in, he'd never seen me like this. No one had.

I felt the presence of everyone behind him, but I simply stood up and shut my eyes. I shifted into my wolf, letting my clothes tear as I fell to the ground. I set my head in between my paws and shut my eyes, trying to shut out the words they were saying to me. But I felt a string inside of me pull tight, the strangest feeling in the world washing over me as my body involuntarily shifted back.

I lay there in all of my naked glory, wincing at the pain of my bones shifting and breaking without my consent. Moments later I shifted right back to my wolf form, gritting my canines as I tried to not cry out in pain.

It went of for minutes, constantly shifting back and forth as a string inside of me pulled tighter and tighter. I could here shouts and fighting, the air around me bussing with so much energy it was driving me insane. I could feel by the air that Tyler was there, when I was human his hand would be stroking my cheek and covering my body.

I don't know how long it was that I continued like that, when the string just snapped. I lay in my human form, the sun long gone and my bones screaming in agony. I squeezed my eyes shut as someone put their arms around me, frenzied shockwaves rolling through me.

I was in someone's hands now, Tyler's hands, and I felt him picking me up and bringing me somewhere. The familiar smell of antiseptic hit me as I cringed away from it, a small chuckle finding its way to my ears.

"Tyler." I whimpered out, his grasp on me tightening. His breath hit my skin in hot pants, hit heart racing under my ear.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't know if I'll ever be able to tell you how much I love you, and how sorry I am." I felt something wet touch my forehead, rolling back into my damp hair.

"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything." I heard him sigh, lifting me up just a tad bit more. I opened my eyes slightly to see his hurt face, guilt wrapping itself around it.

"For this."

His canines elongated and in seconds he sunk them into the curve of my neck. I gasped as pain shot through me, a cry escaping my mouth before I could stop it. I whimpered as he kept his teeth in me, his fingers gripping into my skin.

The pain turned to pleasure as I moaned softly, my body becoming drowsy as I slumped against him. He took his teeth out of me and licked up the trail of blood, causing me to shiver under him. He kissed my mark once more, causing my heart to race as my breath hitched. I rolled my bottom lip through my teeth, desperately trying to stop the shiver of pleasure rolling through me.

"I love you, and I can't stand not being with you anymore. That's why I did this, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

I finally felt my eyelids droop, the drowsiness I experienced early finally hitting me full force. I dropped straight into his body, his arms wrapping me to stop me from falling farther than I already had.

***

I woke up on his bed, his scent wrapped around me instead of his arms. I frowned as I stood up, swinging my legs over the edge of his bed. My feet touched the cold wooden floor, my toes immediately curling as I winced.

My neck throbbed, my fingers finding their way up. As soon as my fingers brushed over it, it sent waves of pleasure rolling through me. I moaned softly into the open room, my eyes flying open as I realized what just happened.

I shot off the bed and ran into the bathroom, a gasp coming out of me when I saw my neck in the mirror. Dried blood smudged around a bite mark, raw and red with the faint trace of a mark forming. I growled, throwing open the door to the bedroom as I ran down the stairs.

I walked into the dining room, my eyes snapping to a random pack member. "Where is your damn Alpha!"

He looked at me in fear, his friends around him looking at me warily. "I believe he's in the backyard training with the Beta and Delta Luna."

I growled as I tore out of the room, running the hallway until I reached the backdoor. I flung it open, my eyes flashing as I walked into the yard. Tyler stood there, laughing as Alex tried to pin him down.

"Alpha!" I shouted, his eyes snapping to mine. Alex took the distraction and pinned him on the ground, smirking as he stood up.

"Thanks Luna." My eyes blazed as I stared at Tyler on the ground.

"Guess what your Alpha did gentleman." John and Alex looked between me and Tyler in confusion, light red creeping up to the tops of their ears.

"Uh, fucked another woman?" I growled at John, causing him to take a step back. "I'm going to say no then."

I moved my hair from my neck, Alex's eyes widening before he looked back to Tyler. "Okay he marked you? What's the big deal?"

"Ask if he gave me consent."

Both John and Alex turned to him, Tyler's gaze suddenly interested on the dirt below his feet. "Did you?"

Tyler grumbled under his breath, running his hands through his hair. Even the smallest little action like that sent heatwaves through me, turning me on. I frowned, I had weeks before my heat would start, why was I getting the symptoms?

"No, but I-"

"Did what Tyler! All you had to do was ask! I probably would've said yes, but you didn't give me a fucking choice!" I shouted as I pushed my hair back over his mark, cussing him to growl and stalk towards me.

He pushed my hair away, using his hand to keep it off of my skin. "You will not hide my mark!"

I gasped at him, fury rolling through me. "You can't tell me what the hell to do!"

John and Alex sat there while we yelled at one another, ending in a stare off. I used my fingers and flicked him in the forehead, making him blink and look away first.

"I win." I stuck my tongue out as I turned away from him, swaying my hips abbot to make him growl behind me. I turned over my shoulder, his eyes dark green as they transitioned to black. "Down boy."

I laughed as he growled again, my arms finding the branch above me. I pulled myself up, swinging myself onto the branch. I climbed higher and higher, hiding myself behind the branches and leaves.

'Mariah, I'm pissed at Tyler, how do I get revenge?'

I heard her laugh in my head as I tried to distract myself from the sweat on Tyler's bare shoulders. He sat off the edge as Alex and John spared, a guilty expression across his face. Good. Stupid bastard, thought he could mark me without my consent.

'Why're you mad at him?"

'He marked me when I was going through that problem yesterday? When I couldn't stop shifting.'

Tyler was looking desperately through the forest line, watching for any sign of me. I sighed to myself, his sadness crashing through the bond like an ocean tide.

'Asshole. We could sneak away from all of them and go to a club? I mean, I love Alex and everything, but he's about suffocating. I get we're mates, but maybe it's the training we were put through.'

I smiled as I remember the training we had when we were younger, especially remembering how close we all really were.

'I'll distract Tyler with something, find a way to distract Alex so he won't come looking for us.'

I grinned again, standing up quickly as to not shake the leaves. I jumped tree to tree around the perimeter, yelping when I stepped on a centipede. I looked up to see Tyler get up in a flash, concern crashing across his eyes as he searched for me. I groaned, dropping onto the forest floor.

Dead centipedes under your bare feet are not a pretty sight.

I hobbled over to him, his eyes widening before he ran and scooped me up. I groaned, his legs rushing back to the house. "Pack Doctor pack doctor." He muttered as he ran.

"Tyler I'm fine, just bring me to the kitchen. I'm not injured." He paused as he looked at me, furrowing his eyebrows at me.

"What happened then?" I rolled my eyes as he walked through the door, making his way towards the kitchen. At he sat me down I lifted my foot to him, causing him to grimace and jump back.

I laughed, turning so my feet were in the little basin of the sink. I turned the water on as I washed my foot, using a paper napkin to wipe away the dead bug. I felt Tyler's gaze, looking at him from the corner of my eye when I smirked and got an idea.

Stupid dumbass mate marking without my fucking consent.

I used the hose and sprayed him down, soaking him through his shirt. I started laughing at his open mouth, shutting it when I saw it stuck to his stomach. My eyes trailed over his torso, causing the damn heat inside of me to stir.

I looked up just as he took a deep whiff of the air, his eyes almost immediately turning black. He was at my side in a n instant, his fingers trailing along my neck. I gasped when his fingers pulled my feet out of the sink, turning me and opening my legs so he could stand in between.

He pulled me forward as he continued his assault on my neck, pushing into me. I bit my lip as a soft moan escaped me, my fingers gripping on his shoulders. I reached to the hem of his shirt, pulling it off of him in a flash.

My fingers trailed up his stomach, inching in every dip and line he had. His lips finally made their way to mine, his tongue fighting against mine. I taste his morning coffee on his tongue, sending my senses in a frenzy as I deepened the kiss. My hands wound their way into his hair, his fingers reaching below the waist of my pants.

His fingers grazed the skin of my upper ass, sending shivers through me. My hands grazed across the growing bulge in his lap, playing with the drawstrings to his pants. He growled as he picked my up, running in a flash towards his bedroom.

"I'm still mad at you, asshat." I growled as he pulled my shirt off, kissing along the curve of my breasts.

"I know, and I regret it. But I love you," he kissed the tip of my shoulders, slowly making his way to my mark he had created. "And I really, really, want to fuck you."

I smirked, pulling his lips back to mine. He hovered over me in the bed, his fingertips gripping on my skin. I bucked my hips up, meeting his as I ground against him. He groaned lowly, almost making me quit my plan.

But I never had been a quitter.

I flipped him to where I was straddling him and felt his member poking my thigh, pushing on his chest so he lay completely on his back. "Tut the big bag wolf, wouldn't want to get too excited would you?" He growled, my fingers reaching towards him. "Let me do this."

I took out the silk scarves I had from my drawer next to my bed, wrapping it around his wrists as I tied him to the bedpost. I wrapped one around his eyes, smiling as I smelt his arousal grow. I leaned down and brushed my lips against his, leaning back when he pushed forward.

"Not get my big bad mate, let me go grab something. Stay here for twenty minutes as you grow, and I'm not here to pleasure you. Punishment."

I smiled when he groaned at me, shutting the door behind me. I made my way to Mariah's room, opening it to find her getting ready for tonight.

"What'd you tell Tyler?" I shrugged as I sat down, quickly putting on some light makeup.

"He's just, a little tied up right now."
