"Good morning" Jake was surprised to see Colten with a smile on his face, greeting him as he lied down beside him, facing him, as soon as he woke up and opened his eyes. Why was he surprised? What was he expecting? This place wasn't that pack and he waoke up smelling flowers and the aroma of breakfast. Most importantly, he woke up seeing the smiling wholeheartedly face of a handsome man, who was his mate. Why wouldn't he be surprised?

In fact, he was very happy. This was one of the happiest day of his life. He smiled and replied, "Good morning"

"I brought you breakfast. Do you want to eat now? More importantly, are you okay?" Flash backs of what happened last night invaded his mind. His smile widened and suddenly dropped when the realisation hit him. Last night, he didn't feel or see Colten mark him. Did he not mark him?

"Col...." Like Colten could read his mind, he answered, caressing his cheek, "Don't worry, I marked you. I claimed you"

"But........"

"I claimed you last night. All it took was a release of my pheromones, a kiss and a claim that you're my mate" Colten replied, smiling, "The mark is on the back right side of your neck" Colten traced his fingers on where he left the mark and Jake shivered. Feeling a sweet sensation where Colten's fingers caressed. Colten has claim him. He was his. He smiled wholeheartedly. "But really, are you feeling any pain anywhere?" Colten asked with so much concern. Jake chuckled, "Are you forgotten am a werewolf and omega? I heal fast. I don't feel pain anywhere"

He replied, earning a smile from Colten. His Col pulled him into a hug, caressing his back before saying, "I'm glad"

He giggled, happy but then, the smile fell off. Now, only Chris was left. He would have to find the guy. He didn't look good last night.

                    **********🐺********

After showering and wearing Tristan's cloths which Colten bought, he had his breakfast with Colten.

After their breakfast, Colten left, saying he had to go see his friend. What was the name again?..... Oh, right, Even. He said the poor guy wasn't doing well. He was suffering from an illness known to all werewolves. That illness was dangerous and hurtful. He felt bad for Even.

He wanted to spend time with Tristan but he said he was taking Alan to school. He hasn't met the kid yet and hope they would meet when he comes back. Rex too was locked up in his room. He didn't look good and Jake didn't want to bother him and so, he went into his next plan. Looking for Chris. He had to speak with the guy about their mating and if possible, only if he won't freak out!, he would like to spend time with the guy.

Jake entered the kitchen and saw a woman seated on one of the kitchen stools. She was on her phone and seemed to be expecting something.

"Hi" he said with a smile. The woman turned to look at him. A sincere smile broke on her lips when he saw Jake. "Hello, you must be Jake" the woman said, smiling. Jake nodded. "I'm Debby" the woman named Debby responded. Jake smiled and thought he was already liking her. She looked like a good person.

"Tristan talked a lot about you. And he said, I should assist you in anything you need" Well, that was just like Tristan.

"Help?"

"Well I......" Jake licked his lips, "Well,.........I wanted to know where Chris is" he finally let it out. Debby smiled but she looked like she was hiding something. "Well, that"

"Where is he?" Jake demanded. Already worried about Chris. Did something happen to him? He didn't think he would be able to bear it if something really did happen to his mate. Debby sighed in defeat, "I'll tell you"

Chris was seated in front of Mr Secks cell. He was covered in blood, Four's blood which Secks already knew. He could smell it and he knew it was just a matter of time before he also die.

He didn't want to die. He still had a wife and children to get back to. He knew Cabby has already left him. That traitor and disgusting woman never liked him. She didn't even want to marry him when he personally proposed marriage to her. He was ashamed, humiliated and that was why he bought her from the alpha. Of course, he didn't use money, but something that will benefit the disgusting and perverted alpha.

Chris looked at Secks through the bars. Even after having Four's blood, he was still thirsty for more and if it wasn't for lvan, he would have killed this stupid old man.

Chris's red eyes were glowing. Secks could see how angry and hungry he was for his blood and flesh. Of course, Chris wasn't going to drink his blood or eat his body or something. But he would definitely torn his flesh into pieces. He heard Four's screams while Chris was killing him and he couldn't help but get scared.

He put on a cold and brave look like he wasn't afraid of Chris but deep down, he was trembling.

"It will be you next" was all Chris said and then he got up to leave. After Chris left, Secks whole body begun, trembling, shaking in fear.

         **********🐺🐺*******"

Chris was angry, very angry. He was also hungry. Hungry for his enemies. Those who were somehow involve in Colten getting hurt. He was referring to Secks. Though the man wasn't there that night, to him, the old man was still involve.

Then he was hungry for those who hurt his mate Jake. He heard everything from Roy. How they tortured, tormented his mate. How they used his body as if he was nothing. Oh, he was going to kill those fuckers.

"Chris?"

Chris snapped out of the dark thoughts when he heard Jake's voice, calming down almost immediately. And the moment his eyes set on his mate, they stopped growing. He stopped emanating that killing intent aura.

"J....Jake" he said in horror. He didn't want his mate to see him like this. Covered in someone's blood and glowing with anger and vengeance. He didn't want his mate to see this dark side of him. But it was too late now.

Jake took a step and in fear of his mate getting close, Chris shouted, "Don't come close!!" But Jake pay no heed. He ran and hugged Chris, so tight. It was as if he didn't want him (Chris) to go anywhere, run from him which Chris was just about to do.

Jake didn't know what he was doing. What was he thinking? He was afraid of alphas, afraid of being touched by them, and yet here he was, hugging Chris without freaking out. And most importantly, he was the one who took the first step. He was crazy for sure!!
