Bring It On, Mates!

Power

~ Deimos POV ~

"What are you doing here alone? I thought that you were having a meeting with the oldies, so where are the others?" Caleb, my future Beta and the son of Andras said, as he entered the room. His twin sister, Eliza, was walking by his side and a smile appeared on her face when she gazed at me and my brothers. She bit her lower lips and there was a shine in her blue eyes when she saw me without a shirt.

I don't need to guess what was going inside her head as that was something that she had made clear on the day she turned eighteen. She tried to seduce me by wearing a see-through negligee and she didn't stop there. She even tried to force me to accept her as my chosen mate by trying to win my father's trust and she did succeed in her plans, but she is still not aware of what Deimos Maverick is capable of doing.

She flipped her blonde hair to the other side when she walked towards me.

"I think you are going to miss your prey this time, brother. Well, I won't blame you. I mean, who could not be seduced by such looks." Rowan mind-linked me and I just glared at him.

Eliza moved her right hand around my chest and abs. I stopped her, but she leaned closer to me. If she is going to understand that whenever she does such things, I simply want to get rid of her.

'Tell her to f*****g get lost or we will kill her. We have to find our fated mate, Deimos. She is the only one who has the right over us.' Trey, my wolf never liked Eliza and I know how much of a nuisance Eliza's presence is, but as the next Alpha, I still can't kill my own pack members unless they have committed a huge crime.

She is not the only one who wants us to take her as our mate, there are tons of she-wolves who are waiting for a chance to serve us in the hope that one day they will win our attention.

"I knew that one day Orion would do something like that, but let's not ruin our mood because of that old bastard. The night is still young, so why are you thinking about wasting your time on some oldie? We could have some wine and have fun in my room." Eliza tried to wrap her arms around my neck, but I simply pushed her away.

"Do something about your sister, Caleb. She is weird as fuck." Ares got up from his chair.

My second brother usually doesn't care about anything or anyone, but our dislike for Eliza is mutual.

Rowan, who was standing by the window, suddenly started to laugh at Ares' comment that he made on Eliza.

"That's true. But we should also praise her for showing courage. I mean, she did try to jump on you, but you did make it clear to her that you were waiting for your mate… or our mate." Rowan gave me another shirt that he asked one of the pack members to bring from my room.

I wore the black shirt and after folding its sleeves, I walked towards Eliza.

"You have already wasted quite a lot of time, Eliza. Now, if you don't want to see me strangling you then you had better stay away from me.

I am never going to accept you, so you had better keep this thing in your head. You might be able to seduce the other pack members with these cheap tricks of yours, but not me.

Try to cross the line one more time and then I will fix your marriage with some other pack to strengthen the Hunter Moon Pack. You do know that your father won't go against my words, and as for my father, what could a namesake Alpha do, right? Everybody is aware that the real powers are in my hands." I looked straight into her blue eyes and my words just hurt her as I could see anger in her eyes.

"You are saying all of this because of that damn fated mate of yours, right? Why can't you accept that you will never find her? I am your only choice, Deimos. Your father has already accepted me as your mate, so why can't it be me?" Eliza grabbed me by my collar and I just gazed at Caleb without saying a thing.

He pulled her away from me and I simply gazed at my wristwatch. I won't let Orian through this territory or he will try to plan against me from some other pack. Power is something that could make anybody lose their minds and if they can't have control over their powers, then they start to get controlled by them.

~ Ares POV ~

When is this all going to end? I am already tired because of the matter of Orian and now she is here to annoy us. The thing that I hate about she-wolves like her is that they never understand when to stop. She should be happy that Deimos is not hunting her alive. I told him to ignore her, but my brother could never pretend or avoid someone like her.

He is waiting for his fated mate even before his first shift, but if someone asks me if I care about something like a mate, then I won't have a proper reply to give that person. I have never really cared about her or what would happen to us if we didn't find her before our twentieth birthday.

I am not sure if she is really infatuated with my brother or if she is doing all of this to fulfill her own selfish reasons. She might be known as the belle of the academy, but I never understood what was so special about her? Yeah, she does have a nice body and all, but someone dumb like her would never do justice to the position of Luna.

I never really cared about the position and Rowan is too busy with the other she-wolves. Deimos keeps warning him not to act like an irresponsible person, but he keeps telling him that he will stop going out with the other she-wolves, the day he will find his mate.

"Meet me outside. I can't stand her artificial scent." Deimos told me through mind-linking, and I nodded my head. He left the room before Eliza could stop him.

"I will tell her to behave, Ares. Tell Deimos that she won't disturb him again, but don't you think that he behaved a little too extreme?" Caleb said while he was holding back his sister.

'How could you even listen to all his bullshit, Ares?' I heard Ryan, my wolf, and he was getting angry with me for not telling them to f**k off. I know what Caleb is trying to do.

Does he think that I won't be able to see what he is trying to do? I have seen this same trick many times and now I am used to it.

"Extreme? We both know Deimos very well, right? This is nothing for him. It's still not confirmed who is going to be the next Beta, Caleb. Your words won't create a wedge between me and Deimos, so stop wasting your breath and energy on me." I smiled at them before leaving the room.

Rowan offered his handkerchief to Eliza, so that she could wipe away her tears. I am not sure what Deimos is going to do with the oldie, but I can't let him go alone for the hunt. Who knows what he will do once he finds Orion? Deimos hates people who try to betray him or who lie to him and Orion didn't stop there. He even dared to badmouth about our fated mate and that was something that he would never withstand.

I saw the back of Deimos and before I could say anything to him, he transformed into his wolf form. His silver fur was shining and by his side I saw Rowan with his black fur. I also shapeshifted in my wolf form and, unlike them, I have gray fur. Let's just finish this tiring hunt. That was the only thing that was able to help me to keep up with my brothers.

~ Rowan's POV ~

It was quite funny that my brother got annoyed by the artificial scent of Eliza. He used to take her words as a joke when she used to tell others that she is going to marry him, but I never thought that she would be damn serious about that.

She even won the heart of our father, but she is not aware that Deimos would never listen to him. After losing everything, it was my eldest brother who took all the responsibilities on his shoulders.

"You had better accept the reality for your own good, Eliza. Stop dreaming about my brother. Take this as advice or a warning… I seriously don't care." I gave her the handkerchief, so that she could wipe away her fake tears.

When I went outside, I saw that my brother was already in his wolf form, so I transformed and then I stood by his side. We were running behind a familiar scent and, if I am not wrong, then he was not that far from us.

"Don't forget that he is my first prey and I want you two to stay out of this." Deimos told us and we just ran behind him.

Soon, we were able to track down Orion and he was going a little deeper into the woods. We were chasing after him and he was doing his best to run away from us. We soon surrounded him, but before we could punish him, Orian dashed towards a girl.

She gasped in shock when he kept the knife around her throat. Her neck got wounded and blood started to ooze out of her wounds. She looked here and there with her golden eyes and, for a moment, I forgot about everything else that was happening around me.

When we all transformed back into our human form, the girl tightly closed her eyes as she was afraid that she might see us naked and that just brought a bright smile on my face. Her bluish-black hair was something that I had never seen before and her buttoned nose was suiting her face. Well, I don't mind about anything else, but her plump lips are something that is making it impossible for me to look at anywhere else.

'Isn't she beautiful, Rowan? But why is there no scent surrounding her?' Axel, my wolf asked, and I just stood in the same place with a confused look on my face.

He is right.

Why is there no scent surrounding her?

The moment she opened her golden eyes, she was shocked to find something, but what?
