Chapter Three

Unknown point of view
I have really struggled today to keep my anger in check as I watched the two of them flaunting their love in front of everyone.
One of them is responsible for killing my mother and the other killed my father and yet here they both are laughing and kissing without a care in the world.
Do neither of them feel an ounce of guilt for what they have done?
I swallow back the bile that rises in my throat as I watch them cutting the cake and she does the cliché thing of taking some and rubbing it around his face as the whole pack laugh at her antics. Such sheep!
I smile to myself though as I know that soon their world will come crashing down around them just as they had caused mine to crumble a few years ago.
I have been planning for tonight ever since and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
I have been watching everything carefully. They have both become complacent since they killed my father. They are all so sure that any threat to their happiness was extinguished the moment they took his life, but they have no idea about me. In fact nobody does. Even my father did not know I was his child. My mother had kept me a secret from him. She knew what he could be like and for my own safety she had never told him about me. I was the product of a drunken one night stand between them and as the child of an Alpha and very powerful witch she knew he would perhaps try to use my power for his own gain with no regard for my safety. But despite all that my mother had loved him and had done her best to please him and follow his orders right until the end.
Thats how I had ended up here at the Pine Forest Pack after Drew had destroyed ours.
The last thing she had said to me before she had left that day was that she would send for me once they had achieved what they had to do. She was very careful and made sure that no one had known we were linked to one another. It wasn't hard though as she had given me a different surname when I was born to protect my identity from my father and so I had given my real name when I first arrived here and had passed the background checks that Drew had put us all through.
The last couple of years have been really hard though and I have really struggled at times but the knowledge I would soon make them both pay had been the one thing that has kept me going.
When news had spread through the pack that Drew had been stabbed in the chest with silver and then miraculously survived I knew there had to be more to the story so I had spent some time digging around and with the help of a couple of mind control spells my mother had taught me I had managed to find out from Doctor Stones that one of Isabella's sons had some kind of magical tears that had completely healed Drew.
I knew then that I would be able to use this to my advantage. There would be many wolves that would pay a pretty penny for such a gift and so I would kidnap them and sell them off to the highest bidder earning myself enough money to start a new life and also destroying Drew and Isabella's happiness in the process.
The Doctor couldn't remember which of the boys had the gift, not that it mattered to me if one of them had such a gift it was likely the other had some kind of power too. Thats why I was planning on taking both of them.
I have been very careful not to reveal my magical abilities to anyone at this pack and have managed to blend in very well. I have been acting as a good little omega wolf and got myself a job at the school here in the pack territory. I was hoping to be able to take the twins from there one day with no fuss but to my constant frustration there has always been someone watching them closely and unlike my mother and father I don't take risks and plan things meticulously.
So a few months ago when the date of the wedding was announced I knew that it would be the perfect time for my plan to be put into action.
I recently went to visit a family friend, that was the reason I gave to the school principal for my leave from work, but really I was going to find someone who could help me take the boys. I knew that everyone would be letting their guards down at the wedding and it would be the right time to take the twins but I would not be able to take them by myself. I was going to have to pay someone to help me. I went to my Uncle Gary who my mother had told me to contact for help if anything should go wrong and she didn't make it back. Looking back I think on some level she knew she was going on a suicide mission but she was loyal to my father to the end.
My Uncle was extremely shocked to find out about me. He was so different from my father. The only help he would offer was to give me the name of a seedy bar, in which he heard you could hire wolves for anything for the right price.
Thats how I had ended up back at Pine forest pack with Walter and presented him as my mate. I knew that with it being so close to the wedding that any pledges to the pack would be delayed so he would be able to help me and we could both sneak away without him being made a pack member.
I have saved every penny I have earned over the years I have been waiting and Walter was happy to accept my money with no questions asked.
The moment that I have been waiting for comes when I see Jen and Marcus get up quietly and begin to walk away from the party with both the boys walking just ahead of them.
Music begins to play and the dance floor clears as Drew and Isabella make their way to the dancefloor. Honestly the timing could not have been more perfect for me. Every single person is fixated on them and no one notices as I slip away with Walter by my side.
We quickly steal around the packhouse and catch up with them just after they enter.
I close the door behind us so as to not alert anyone outside to our presence inside.
Jen and Marcus turn in unison both clearly just curious as to who else would have left the party and when their eyes fall upon me they look even more confused. I don't think either of them have a clue who I am, which both angers and pleases me. I'm angry that the torment caused by their loved ones to me was so insignificant to them that they don't even know me but at the same time happy that I have done a good job at staying under the radar.
" Miss Beatrice!" The twins shout in excitement and run towards me. I smile to myself as I have clearly done such a good job of earning their trust.
" BOYS. STOP RIGHT THERE!" Marcus shouts as he has clearly worked out something is a miss.
The twins freeze halfway between us in the hallway clearly unsure of what is wrong but not wanting to disobey their father.
" What are you doing in the packhouse?" Jen asks us as she starts to step towards us with Marcus just ahead of her.
I glance at Walter and nod and he shifts instantly beside me and charges straight at them.
Marcus is first to react and quickly shifts himself followed seconds later by Jen.
I run quickly towards the boys and scoop some sleeping dust mixed with wolfsbane I have made out of my pocket and blow it into their puzzled faces.
Walter is fighting with Marcus but Jen is clever and has realised that I am here for the boys so she is charging straight for me.
I blow the very last of the dust at her and she slows considerably, I know there wasn't enough to knock her out but it will make her drowsy and force her wolf back.
I take a quick look back and see that Walter and Marcus are still totally engrossed in their fight and with every bit of strength I can muster I haul both the boys into my arms and run for it.
This wasn't the plan. Walter was meant to take them both out with ease, I knew that they would eventually take the boys away from the party tonight and just had to wait for the right moment.
But Walter was supposed to be a good strong warrior and should have taken them both down. Then he was going to help me make it to the car and we would be away to the safe house that Walter has already set up miles away.
But as Jen was already fighting to stand despite having been forced to shift back to her human form from the wolfsbane in the dust, I couldn't afford to wait for him.
Being a hybrid had benefits and downfalls. The wolfsbane had a much lesser effect on me but I also had less strength to begin with and so by the time I made it to the car I was exhausted.
Thankfully I didn't encounter any guards patrolling on my way and was able to drive away with the twins sleeping soundly in the backseat.
