Calista Jenner seems to be kind, and she doesn’t seem to look at me weirdly like everyone else in the pack. She is so kind that she invited me to her room; it’s spacious and nice. Well decorated, anyone can tell that Alpha August treats her like a princess. “You are free to hide here; no one will bother you.” I really hope so. I can use a breather. “So who is this mate of yours? Maybe I can help you win him over,” She says, looking all excited. I highly doubt she can help me. I didn’t come here to win anyone over. “I don’t think it’s worth it,” I comment, my head hanging as I pout my lips. “Oh come on! It’s worth a try!” I shake my head. “Enough about me, tell me about you.” “ What would you like to know?” She asks, tilting her head before clasping her hands in front of her. Her blue eyes shine, just like her beautiful face and shoulder-length black hair. Jenner is beautiful; she looks like someone you only see on a screen or the cover of a magazine. Her bright, bubbly personality only adds to her beauty. “Tell me about your mate. Have you met him yet?” My eagerness to know makes me move closer to her. “ Oh!” Her smile drops, and so does the light from her bright eyes. “ I am sorry,” “You don’t have to apologize; it’s just that, I once met my mate, but everything that happened after I met him...” she shakes her head. “ It’s horrible.” “ You don’t have to tell me.” She cuts me off, “ I think the reason I am not better is because I have never talked about it to anyone else. I don’t think I will ever move on or get better if I don’t talk about it.” “ I am listening, you know.” “ I know, you really seem like a good person.” I offer her a tight-lipped smile. I am anything but good. I am a manipulative person; that's what I am. “ So I met my mate; he was this guy from my previous pack; his name is Ethan. He told me he felt the mate pull, while I didn’t feel anything. It was normal for him to feel it because he was older than me he was 18 years old. So we used to sneak around and see each other a lot. Uncle Knox didn't about it, so the sneaking continued, and I begged him to snatch me away and make me his. He insisted that I was still too young to be snatched by him. He needed me to at least grow up until I was like 16 or something; honestly, I don’t know. I told him I couldn’t wait any longer, and I just wanted everyone to know about us. Cause you know...” “No one wants to be treated like a secret.”I help her finish, and she nods. She giggles, even though her expression is still sad. “Yeah, no one wants to be anyone’s secret. Especially when that person is your mate. So one day we agreed to meet, and he told me that he was to mark me that night. That day, my uncle found out, he was angry. He told me not to meet up with him because I didn’t know if he was my mate. I didn’t listen to him because Ethan had already said I was my mate. So I sneaked out that night, and I went to our usual spot. Ethan did show up; my excitement died down the moment he told me he was rejecting me as his mate. He couldn’t snatch me away because I was too young and he wouldn’t manage to wait for me to grow up, as if that were ever my problem. His excuse was so dumb and it was f*****g dumb that I tried to be him, that my age shouldn’t be an issue between us. I left me there in the dark and cold, crying for him to snatch me away. It was horrible; he left me all alone. I stayed there and cried. When I was ready to stand up and leave, I bumped into something I was supposed to see: the former alpha son was banging his step-sister. I wasn’t meant to see that, I..I..” She pauses. She looks shaken. “ You don’t have to force you to say the rest, the fact you have told me this much is a step forward. You should be proud of yourself for saying this much.” I encourage her. “ Is your ex-mate still alive?” “ I don’t know, why do you ask?” Her eyebrows furrow. My lips lift in a small smile. “ Just curious.” If I ever meet him, he is dead. My palms are itching to kill. “ You said Uncle Knox, you mean Alpha Knox?” I just need to be sure, he is on my list. After I get rid of August. I won’t get attached to him, I don’t need to get attached to him. Love isn’t for me. “ Yes back then he wasn’t an alpha, just a Beta and you know times change. He is the best uncle ever.” The excitement in her eyes when she talks about her uncle almost makes me change my mind. I have the biggest fuel, revenge. Revenge for me and my people. The wolves are the reason the Fae people no longer exist, I am the last Fae standing, oh not really since I happen to be half Fae, half wolf. It’s not a wonder I don’t have a wolf or wings but stuck with gifts that I got from my Fae family. “ I can see that. What about Alpha August’s brother? Is he a good person too?” She is the right person to give me the information I need. “Oh Alpha, Alix, he is well; just be careful with that one.”She smiles nervously. She runs her hand through her hair and stands up on the bed. She walks towards the balcony. “ Why do you say so?” “ Oh, I just feel that way.” Alpha Alix, is on my list. Did I hit the jackpot or what? “Thanks for spending time with me, Jenner, but I have to go. I need to prepare Alpha's meal.” “ He loves medium grilled steak,” I smile before I rush out of her bedroom. Jenner is very kind; it almost makes me feel bad for what I plan to do to her uncle in the future. I rush forward in the direction of the kitchen. A spark ignites on my shoulder and my heart jumps out of my chest. “ Where are you rushing to?” Alpha August gracefully asks. “ I want to prepare lunch for you since you didn’t eat breakfast,” He lifts an eyebrow, “ And why would I eat anything cooked by you?” “ Because I am a great cook, and..” “ You can poison my meals. I wouldn’t risk it.” Oh, please, if I want him dead, I can easily do it with the palm of my hand. “ I am not capable of doing something like that.” He continues to touch my shoulder, but his grip only gets tighter. The sparks almost make my knees melt, and the Alpha stands unaffected. Right there, and then, I made the decision that the only way I would know about him was to study him. I normally don’t take the time to study the alphas I kill, but he is a special case. And the fact that I am new here would make me the first target after he died. That alone would ruin my reputation for being silent. I need to be as silent as he is. His pine scent engulfs me, and it takes everything in a man to hug this man. “ Drop everything you are doing, I need you in my bedroom.”
