Darius' POV
I 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 shookRakari'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
Rakari's POVI stood up from the bed and pulled him up before we both walked out of the room and went down into the kitchen where we saw Darius, Sadie, Neil, my mum and dad, Mrs Prescott and surprise surprise, Francesca.I walked up to Darius and wrapped my arms around his waist and he turned around and lightly pressed his lips against mine,"Finally"I smiled against his lips before i pulled away,"Miss me?""You have no idea""I was only gone for 10 minutes"He leant his forehead against mine,"And those felt like the longest 10 minutes of my life"I smiled and was about to lean up and kiss him when a cough stopped us from doing so,"Yeah, we are still here you know"We smiled and i gave him a peck on the lips before i moved away from him and went to stand next to my mum who was sitting down in one of the chairs near the table,"So, what were you talking about?""Sharise"My breath got caught in my throat as my eyes start
Marcus' POV I knew that getting Rakari back was going to be a challenge and I knew that I had to plan everything out carefully before I even decide to go and get her but the question is, how do I do it? "Alpha?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see Adam, "Yes?" "Vinny wants to start the training now" "Right now?" He nodded and I groaned before I stood up and started to follow him outside towards the garden where all of my pack fighters were waiting, "Alpha" Everyone said at the same time while they lifted their heads and I turned to face Vinny, "How do you want to do this then?" "How fit are they?" "Fit enough" "Fit enough to beat this Darius you're talking about?" "No, that is obviously why I called you" I said with a hint of anger and he held up his hands in surrender, "Calm down, I'm here to help you" I nodded and took a few deep breaths before I turned to my pack, "Wolf on wolf combat!" "No!" I turned to Vinny confused, "What do you mean no?" "I wou
Marcus' POVI was sitting in my meeting room just looking over everyone in the room, keeping my expression blank. If I wanted this plan to work, I knew that I couldn't have anyone weak in my pack, they bring everyone else down which is why if I see anyone who looks weak, I will banish them, I don't really care if they haven't done anything to me personally, just the fact that their bringing the rest if my team down, is enough for me to banish them for good,"Alpha, are you okay?"I looked over at Steven and narrowed my eyes,"Did you really just ask. That question? I am the alpha, of course I'm okay!"He looked down,"Sorry alpha"I sighed and ran my hands through my hair in frustration,"Does everyone know about the plan?"The room nodded,"Yes alpha""Has everyone met Sharise?"Only a few people nodded their head so I nodded towards the doorman who opened the door to let Sharise in,"Hello Sharise"She bowed her head to me, "Hello alpha Marcus""Take a seat"She nodded and went to
