. Alex's POVWe ran towards the side where I also could now detect a large group of wolves gathering. We also could smell a wolf on heat. "There is a wolf in heat. Could be the reason why so many rogues are gathered there," I told Mason, who had reduced his speed to run at mine. "Could it be her?" He asked me and I started to worry. "She's a beta and betas don't go on heat except if..." I left that thought there. I couldn't imagine my girl... No. Oh, please no because I would kill someone. We ran as fast as we could and there were more than ten rogues outside a cave that was on that side of the mountain. From the look of it, these wolves were here to feast on the female that was in heat. The smell was that of an omega but there was a faint smell of Tessa. "Can you smell her?" Mason asked me through our link and I nodded. "She's in there and it seems like we have to fight to get to her," I said and Mason looked at those wolves. "We can take them. The problem is if there is a
Mason's POVWhen I heard that vampires were involved in kidnapping Tessa, I was determined to find out who and why. But for Now, we needed to satiate Tessa's heat.Alex and I were already there and we took Tessa the way we did when we marked her. She was between us and one was at her back and I was at the front. The feeling of both Alex and Tessa made me almost lose my mind. This was the feeling that I knew that I always was looking for. They were my mates and I was happy. And no vampire or wolf would make me leave them. My heart beat for these two. I opened my eyes and saw Alex looking at me and it was like he could tell what I was thinking. He leaned in and I met him and we connected our lips. "I love you," I told him after we parted and he smiled, "and I love you more," he told me and we came at the same time inside of Tessa and something happened. Instead of pulling out the way we usually did after an intense sexercise like that, I felt Alex grow bigger and longer and he
38. Mason's POVAfter we came back to the city, we made sure that Tessa was okay and that she had a full time security detail though she hated it. She tried arguing with us but we wouldn't have it. We loved her, yes, but we weren't going to take any risks. This was the second time she had been taken away from us and we didn't even want to think what would have happened the second time if we didn't find her on time. "No Tessa. Your security is out of discussion. The first time, you were taken alone. This time, they took you from our grasp. We can't risk that again. I can't risk that again," Alex said and I was totally behind him. "Are you going to just stand there as he makes decisions for us as if he is the leader?" She asked me, wanting me to back her up."Yes. Yes I am Tessa," I said simply and she was alone and she had no choice but to agree. She humphed and walked into the room we all shared and Alex kissed me in gratitude. "Thank you," he said and truthfully, I didn't se
. Alex's POVTessa was gone again.I didn't believe it because I had just been with her.Going back to that morning, she was angry when Mason and I told her that we were going to add to her security detail.She was not happy because she thought that we were interfering with her freedom but we managed to convince her.Mason had talked to her before he left and I guess that helped.Later, she was to go to work and since Mason wasn't here and I had a lot of work piled up, none of us could go with her.I thus gave her to five trusted betas and they left.Their orders were to look after her making sure that they shadowed her.They were not to leave her no matter what.They left and I kissed her goodbye.After an hour or so, I received a call: Tessa was nowhere to be found.Not even a trace of her could be seen.According to the guards, they stopped by a KFC to get her the chicken she was craving and they were with her all along.Tessa then excused herself to go to the loo and a female beta
Mason's POVI really wanted to be with Alex as he was looking for Tessa but I couldn't.At that moment, I was with my dad and the other clan elders because apparently, women vampires from our clan had started complaining of the fact that I was mated to two half souls and to make it worse, they were both wolves.Apparently, the rumor was that I had even lied and they weren't from our ancestors or gods.I just fell in love and decided to disregard out clan's teachings.Thus, when I heard that Tessa had been kidnapped once again, I was almost double sure that it wasn't the witches this time.This is because my dad and out elders had issued a warning to all witches about hurting Tessa.The witches, though powerful, knew that we were an enemy they needed to be wary of.This is because, we were faster than their spells and before anyone could throw a spell at us, we would have gotten to them already and snapped their necks.They knew that if we went to war, we, the vampires, would win.Als
. Mason's POVAm I confident that I will win? Yes.Am I confident that Jared is so easy to beat? No.I have fear in my heart but I can't let anyone, especially Alex, see it.I fear that Jared may have something up his sleeve.This is the first time someone had dared challenge an alpha for the seat.When dad suggested we go for the blood path, I was hesitant. But at the thought that if I don't then Jared will never stop, I had to do it.I am doing it for my mates. I want a happy family for us and this is the only way to make sure that the vamps don't bother us anymore.Alex is still hesitant and I had to make him promise me that whatever happens, he will let me handle Jared.Dad already sent the notice to Jared and he already replied."He can't wait to rip me apart, piece by piece."I know he's trying to intimidate me but I think it's working.Why did he kidnap Tessa and twice at that?Isn't it because he is sure that he can beat me?I am also sure that he knew I would go for the blood
Mason POVWhen we got to the arena, there was excitement everywhere.Majority of the people were sitting on my side and they cheered loudly when they saw me.On the other side that was supporting Jared, there sat a handful of vampires and they were as excited.I realized that Jared was already there and he was laughing with them.When they saw Alex and I walk in, they booed us and some even made a killing gesture to the neck to Alex.I got angry and released my aura towards them and Alex held me."Save your energy. That's all they can do.By attacking me, they know they will perform better," he told me and I realized what they were doing.No. It wasn't going to work on me."Where is Tessa? Alex asked."She isn't here yet.According to the rules, Jared is to give her to the elders and they will give her to the winner," I explained and I could see that it was taking all he had to flare up.He had promised me to keep his cool and I knew he was trying to do just that."It's all gonna be
43. Mason's POVI was angry.I felt adrenaline run through me and I wanted Jared dead.Seeing Tessa in such a weak state made me want to break him.I then looked at Alex and saw his worried countenance.Why would allow someone to hurt my family and then allow myself to die and leave him to make them suffer?Not today.I closed my eyes and by the time I was opening them, I was the alpha and no longer Mason.I was going to make this bastard pay."Prepare to die," he teased and I didn't pay any attention to him.Us vampires heal very fast.That means that if I want to kill him fast, you have to remember that we weren't allowed to use any weapons. It was our bare hands, I had to be fast.Make sure that a wound doesn't heal before I give him another one.I growled and my fangs came out and my long nails.Alex had helped me sharpen them for this occasion.I saw Jared panic but he reigned it in and if I wasn't looking at him with my alpha vision, I would have though that I was hallucinating.
117. Tessa’s POVIt is evening already and I am all ready.I am wearing the wedding dress they bought me that day they proposed and I have no idea how they pulled this off because it is my size and the women of the pack can’t help but compliment me.I know I look gorgeous and I feel proud that it is my men who have made is possible.I am taken out of the house by mom, Alex’s mother, and the other women and taken to the makeshift hall that was erected just for this wedding.It was built for around a thousand people and I can tell that it is very small as there are people outside and some chose to climb trees and the roof had to be slid out even before time.I walk with mom up to the bog doors and the band is notified of my arrival and dad is there to walk me in.There is smooth violin music playing as per my request and I can’t help but smile as I watch my husbands in similar tuxedos waiting for me at the altar.I don’t know my heart is beating so loudly to a point that dad asks me to
116. Tessa’s POVThe wedding happened in the Silvano vampire clan. It was a white wedding.Maybe it’s because many vampires were once human and all but they do most of the things the way humans do.I didn’t worry though. No.However they, my mates, chose to hold the wedding, what I wanted at the end of the day was that they were mine and that we were now officially one.It was an odd wedding for many had never seen a trouple.When we decided that we hold the formal white wedding in the vampire clan and then the mating ceremony in our pack, I felt that it was the best decision we had ever made for then, everyone would have got their way and the people in the vampire clan would be able to see their alpha marry their queen but the problem came when murmurs started going round asking who Alex was.You should have seen the looks of shock when the person who was officiating the wedding married us.It was strange though because instead of two people, there were three.“Alpha Mason Jason Sil
115. Tessa’s POVSince my children were taken, this was the moment I had really dreamt about.I had always fantasized of how I will react when I see Mara and Jamila.The pain they gave me was still fresh in my mind and I loathed them more for the fact that I didn’t have the luxury of suckling my children or even holding them and feel the warmth of a mother.I was all powered up and was ready to finally face them.“Hello little girl? I see you have got some guts,” Jamila said and I guess that she was underestimating me.She though that she was facing the same girl who couldn’t help herself because she was n the loins of labour.“Hello Jamila? Long time no see. I see you have grown some guts for a new vampire like you,” I mocked and that wiped the ugly smile on her beautiful face.“I am here for two things…” I began but Jamila interrupted me.“To get killed and buried here?” She asked me and then even without warning, she jumped at me.She was so fast that I was impressed since she wasn
114. Tessa's POVI looked at Mara and laughed.Maybe she thought that she had everything under control and she didn't understand how we were here."How did you get here?" She asked again and I laughed."Through the gates of course.Or is this your coven?" I asked and she seems to have nothing to say to that.The woman who was with her seemed to realise that I wasn't Mara's friend even though I had called her aunt and she run towards me.Mara tried using the little magic she had to pull her back but I tripped her by enchanting the soil below where she was standing and she fell."Go and save those who are locked in that room," I told my mates and they agreed in unison but my eyes were still on Mara."Where are the children?" I asked the woman who had come to hide behind me."They are with that vampire in my parents house where they are holding them," she told them and I enchanted any rope I could find and they tied up Mara and I asked the woman to lead the way.Now that the cloaking spe
113. Tessa's POVWe were already here and I was thinking of a way we could go in without notifying the people inside that there were intruders.We couldn't do that up the wall, we couldn't blast the wall and I didn't want to bring up the shield I was sure Mara had placed because by now I knew her work and so, we had to look for another way."Only if we had enough time to did a hole below the wall," Alex said."It's just that we don't know how deep the wall is," Mason said and I looked at them."Have you guys forgot who your wife is?" I asked and we were speaking though out link.I didn't even look to see whether the others were looking at us or not.All I know is that they must have been surprised to see us smiling and looking at each as if we were speaking but there was ni sound.But I was sure that the wolves knew what was happening.I looked at Alex and smiled at him because he had just given me and idea: dig below the wall.And since I could enchant the earth, I would try it one m
112. Tessa’s POVI was engaged and getting married.It’s not that they would never have married me, no, it would have definitely happened since we are mates and all, but the fact that they thought of doing this for me, it meant the whole world to me.The fact that they proposed to me means that they want to marry me not because it is a duty they have to fulfil but because they are truly in, love with me.That is why I feel blessed and glad that I realized my ways before I could lose them.I love my mates.We are a crazy combination but I love us.They had prepared all kinds of dishes and most were my favourite: KFC.Even in such a situation, nothing beats a well fried chicken drumstick, fries and ice cream.If I had a say on what was to be served in my wedding, I would go with buckets and buckets of KFC chicken and burgers and fries.And then the desert will be bucket loads of ice cream.There was a knock on the door and Alex went to answer it.“Alpha, the vampire is awake,” it was on
111. Tessa's POVWe were back home but without our children but with an unconscious aunt of mine whom I had never met before today and a badly beaten up vampire."Why did you have to beat him that much?" I asked Mason when I saw the condition the vampire was in.He shrugged his shoulders and gave that smile he always gave when he didn't have a good explanation for something."He… he said that alpha vampires were overrated and I wanted to show him that we weren't overrated," he said and Alex slapped him on the shoulder in that way men do."Good. He shouldn't have underestimated my mate," he said and they both smiled at each other."Alex, stop encouraging him! He could just have bitten him and that would have paralyzed him," I told them although I didn't use a stern voice."It won't happen again not unless they underestimate us again," Alex said and I rolled my eyes at him.He talked as if he was the one who beat up the man.We couldn't ask them any questions because they were both unco
110. Tessa’s POVThe woman I was with fainted as soon as we left the hurt and she congratulated me.From her reaction, I could clearly tell that she wasn’t a big fan of her big sister.She was so happy when we left the hut that it made me smile.Now, I had to carry her and look for a way out.I couldn’t see the gate I came in through and the place looked like it was curved straight out of the ground and there was no way out because it was a round wall all around us.I tried shaking Martha awake and she didn’t even stir.I even tried using my powers to see whether they would nourish her enough to wake up and nothing.I regretted not listening to the oracle when he told me to learn a few basic healing spells. I never thought I would ever need them as I was surrounded by wolves and vampires who could heal themselves when and if trouble arose.When I realized that she wasn’t waking up any time son and if I dilly dallied she would die here, I took it upon myself to look for a way out.If
109. Mason’s POVI was with the last group that was keeping watch of the periphery of the coven’s jurisdiction and I was also to act as back up to Alex’s group.When we were planning this, I wanted the three of us to be in the same group and so did my half souls.But if we wanted to succeed, I knew that Tessa and Leo were right. We needed to stick with the strategy.Leo was with Alex since they were like one. A beta had to stick with his alpha.Tessa was keeping us updated with what was happening to her in the first group and so far, they hadn’t found Mara.They had, however, found a secret entrance and it was she only who went down.The wolves that were with her told Leo that after she stepped on the first staircase, it floated away and the place where it was turned to earth and the tree slid to place again. That meant that if Tessa didn’t come out and soon, we needed to look for the services of another witch who would help us open the door again.But for now, that wasn’t even the pr
