Darius' POV
I watched quietly as Rakari paced up and down the room angrily and everyone just waited patiently for her to say something. After a few more minutes, she stopped pacing and turned to face us and I flinched slightly at how intense her stare was, I've never seen her this angry before"If anyone in this room doesn't want to be involved in this war, I suggest you leave nowI looked around the room waiting to see if anyone was coward enough to leave but when no one got up, I felt quite proud because it meant that they are loyal enough to stay and fight"Okay good, as you can tell, I'm angry, actually no that isn't even the right word to use, I am fuming, I am beyond pissed right now and I do not want anyone in this room to piss me off anymore, I want to get that clear now, understand?Everyone nodded so she continued,"As you know, Marcus has taken Sharise, which is what sparked this war in the first place and believe me, I didn't want to start a warDarius's POV I walked past her and walked towards Adele who was still on the floor catching her breath and I lowered my head to her level and bared my teeth at her which just made her try and shrink into the floor even more. I snapped my teeth close to her neck to tell her that if she steps out of line even more, I won't hesitate to hurt her and she fearfully noddedI moved away from her and gestured for Rakari to go back into the bedroom so she walked in first and I walked in behind her and closed the door with my paw. I turned back around to see that she had already shifted back and I couldn't help my eyes from roaming over her body, even though I had seen it many times"You're such a perv Darius, get dressed"She put some of my clothes on the bed and started changing into her own so I shifted back and proceeded putting on the clothes that she gave me"If you didn't stop me, I probably would've hurt her" "Yes but I did stop you, which is the main thing, w
Rakari's POV"Hurry up with this because I have more important things to do""Like making out with your boyfriend? Yes, very important"She rolled her eyes and I glared at her, "It's not only Darius that can hurt you, I'd have much fun doing it myself, do not test me" "I just wanted to ask how you could start a war so quickly" "And I want to know how that has anything to do with you" "I'm his sister" "And I'm his mate, who do you think he'll listen to more?" "Did he tell you about Lucie?" I narrowed my eyes but shook my head, "No, he didn't""Then he can't love you as much as he says""We're done here"I stood up and was about to walk out when she said something else"Don't always believe what you hear Rakari, get the real story but not just from his point of view"I shook my head and walked out of the study and upstairs to mine and Darius' room and as soon as I walked in, Darius had me trapped against the wall
Darius' POVI looked at Rhylie in shock at what he just said and looked back at Rakari to see tears brimming her eyes and thats when i got angry"How dare you say that!"He looked at me regretfully, "i'm sorry, i didnt mean that""Why would you say that?! She is my mate and your alpha female! This is very much her pack!""Darius its fine, leave it""No! Its not fine!" I turned towards Rhylie and he looked at me fearfully, "I do not care whether that was an accidental slip of the tongue or not, you will never speak about my mate like that again and i will make sure that you never do""Baby, don't do anything you'll regret, its not worth itI looked at Rakari, "He disrespected you and i am not going to stand for it"I turned back to face Rhylie, "Rhylie Lutton""Don't do it baby""I hereby revoke your status as beta of the shadow valley pack and demote you one level down to commader of the fighters""Darius please"I shook
Rakari's POV"I can't go"Cristina and Sam shook their head,"You have to go!""I can't! I have too much going on right now""Like what?"Well, seeing as i couldn't tell them about the pack issues, I told them something else,"Just family drama""It's a date Rakari, you have to go, imagine how disappointed Darius will be"I rolled my eyes,"He won't be disappointed""He will when he finds out you're not going to dress up for him"She winked at me and laughed, "He won't care""Won't care about what?"I looked up from the grass and looked at Darius to see him, Lyle and Chris standing over all of us,"We were just talking about our date tonight"He smiled,"We could always move the date if I looked at Cristina and Sam who shook their heads at me and I smiled and shook my head before looking back at Darius,"I'm looking forward to it baby"He stretched his hand out and i took it so that he could pull me up from
Rakari's POV20 minutes laterWe walked into the pack house and walked straight towards Darius' study where we came face to face with the two boys from Marcus' pack,"Dismissed"The 4 wolves surrounding the room nodded and walked out of the study with the last one out closing the door behind him.The two boys turned to face us and i crossed my arms over my chest and waited for them to speak,"Alpha, alpha female, my name is Josh and this is my brother James and we would like to join your pack due to unfortunate circumstances""State the pack you came from"They gulped,"The dark moon pack, alpha is Marcus Knight""So, Marcus is finally the alpha? Since when?""Since 2 days ago"I laughed humourlessly,"Prick""I know that you and alpha Marcus are at war-""You know nothing! I honestly can't believe that you would even step foot on our territory and have the audacity to ask if you could join the pack! What makes you think th
Darius' POV"Rakari"She didn't say anything. She just continued to pace up and down the room, something she's been doing for the past 20 minutes so i stood up and walked over to her so that i could grab her waist to make her stop,"Baby, stop pacing"She sighed,"i just want to find Marcus and bring Sharise back home, he's making me so angry!"She leant her head on my chest and i gently rubbed her back,"I know but you can't let him get to you, that's what he wants, don't give him the satisfaction""I can't help it, he just gets me so mad!"I kissed the top of her head, "I know baby, i know, just don't be so hard on yourself""This is all my fault Darius and you know it""No, I don't know it because none of this is your fault, it's his, it's his fault because he won't accept the fact that you found your mate and your happy""I just want to kill him right now, i can't believe i ever loved him""Neither can i" I muttered under my br
Darius' POV'Waste of fucking time!''marcus will send more of them and they will be stronger'I growled,'I know but we'll worry about that later, Carl tell Lionel to get rid of the bodies however he sees fit''No problem'I walked up to one of the wolves and kicked his lifeless body with my front paw,'They'll regret ever messing with me and my pack'I snarled at the dead wolves and turned around to face my pack again,'Back to the pack house now'They all nodded and we started running back to the pack house,'Adrian, get all the pack fighters some clothes, we're on our way back''Will do, be prepared to face Rakari''What did she do?''Its not whats she's done, it's what you've done, you'll see'I huffed in annoyance and cut off the link and focused on running back to the pack house.No more than 10 minutes later, we emerged from the trees and back to the pack house and we each took our clothes in between our teeth a
Rakari's POV"I really need to find her, its been 5 days and apparently, he can't be keeping her in the pack house"Darius looked at me confused, "Why not?""It would be too obvious""Sometimes the most obvious places are what's used"I sighed,"I know but i know him and i know he would never make this easy"I saw him clench his fists and his breathing increased, a sign that he was getting angry. I stood up from the bed and walked over to him so that i could place a hand on his cheek,"Calm down baby""I hate him so much! He has no fucking right to hurt Sharise or you! I'll kill him!"I leaned up and lightly pressed my lips againt his while i moved my hands down and unclenched his fists and instead he laced his hands with mine before he pulled away,"I'm sorry"I gave him a small smileI gave him a small smile and gave him a peck on the lips,"You dont need to apologise baby""I do. I shouldnt get angry this much, its not helpin
