"Where the fuck have you been?!" Drake roared, causing Ari to flinch and lean back into her sister. "Do you know how fucking worried I was when I came by and Thomas said he didn't know where you were?"

I bristled a bit when I saw Ari and Berni flinch and had to control my anger. "First of all, cool it," I said, causing him to growl out a warning. "You are scaring Berni and Ari, and I will not let you do that. Payton really wants to kick your ass right now, and I am struggling to control her." I dug my nails into my skin, trying to curb my anger.

Drake took a deep breath, muttering something along the lines about being stupid before pulling me into a hug. "Breathe," he muttered, taking in my scent. He held me close to him, ignoring the fact that my nails were digging into his skin. "I was worried, and I was scared you were hurt," he muttered, honestly.

I burrowed my face into his neck and breathed in his scent, calming my Wolf. I was amazed about the bond between mates and how it could calm Wolves even when they were pissed off at the said mate. "I am safe," I muttered. "Jerecho would have given me permission to use my powers if I wasn't."

Drake's body shook as he chuckled. He kissed the side of my temple before backing up so that he look at me. "Where were you?" he asked, studying me. He frowned when I looked away from him and at the floor. "Did you go see why there were attacks to the pack?"

I stuffed my hands into my pockets and glanced at Adi and Berni, "ignoring" Drake's question. "You two alright?"

They nodded. "It's just... hard sometimes..." Berni admitted.

I nodded. "Understood," I paused and licked my lips, ignoring Drake's frown. "Do you two know a Carlton Reeves" I asked, causing both hearts to skip a beat.

"Why?" Bernie asked, and I could tell that she was some what excited. "Do you know where he is? Is he safe?"

I nodded my head, glancing at Drake. "His Rogue Pack is the one that has been attacking." I held my hand, stopping him from talking. "Nathaniel has his sister and ordered him to kill to the pack members. Reeves was going to, but some of his pack members saw me."

"So, they just attacked them?" Drake asked. He bristled some, and I could tell that he was angry. "Why didn't he just come over?"

"Nathaniel will kill her if he did," I replied. I lifted my head, sensing Jerecho near by. "So, if you can put a protection spell on her, that would be great."

Jerecho appeared in the room and nodded. "I'll have to make sure that Malkha will not know. When will you try to get her?"

"As soon as possible," I replied. "I want to scope out everything first."

"I can help with that," Drake said. "Most of my pack is hating the way he is treating her and your stepmother."

I gritted my teeth together and nodded my head. "Do one to her too. He'll kill her if you don't."

"And, your half brother?" Jerecho asked, causing me to nod. He nodded. "I will see what I can do." And with that, he disappeared.

"But, why did you ask us about Carlton?" Bernie asked, changing the subject back to before Jerecho came over. "Is he safe? Can we see him?"

I nodded. "He's safe. He is wanting to see you, but I am letting you two decide when to meet with him."

"I want to go with you this time," Drake said. "Not to protect you or anything. I am sure you can do that. But, I do want to talk with him."

I nodded. "Reeves will probably hate it, but he'll understand."

Drake nodded his head, and I could tell that he was confused. He lead me to one of the couches and sat down.

"Why do you call him Reeves?" Bernie asked.

"We had a Carlton in the pack before we met him," Tommy said, walking in. He had two sundaes in his hands, causing me to raise an eyebrow. "Snitch and Maddi wanted sundaes," he explained, handing one to me before sitting on my other side.

I nodded my head. "Carlton, the one that was in our pack, found his mate in a pack in Canada. They stayed there, and from what I hear, they have a couple if children." i took a bite of my sundae and handed it to my mate.

"And it's weird to call him by his first name?" Bernie asked, causing me to nod my head. She nodded, looking hesitant. "What if Nathaniel finds out that Carlton isn't killing the pack members? He could kill him and our cousin."

I shook my head and took some sundae from Thomas, causing him to whine. "That won't happen. Jerecho had all ready placed a protection spell on him and the members of his pack."

"Why?"

"He saved my life."

***

I took a deep breath and sighed. "I don't want to go into too many details of what had happened," I said, taking a bite of the sundae that I guess I was sharing with my mate. "I can tell you that Mahlkha is a very sadistic God."

"Is he the same one that has "control" over Nathaniel?" Drake asked, causing me to nod. He furrowed his brows. "My pack..."

"Is safe," I replied. I took another bite of the sundae. "Unlike Jerecho, he doesn't have the power to come to Earth."

"Why not?"

"He killed a Human and took the sanity of a Wolf," I replied. "He only has the power to go to Nathaniel, and I think your uncle and other cousin." I glanced at Bernie and Ari causing them to nod.

"Have you ever been in contact with them?" Bernie asked, causing me to shake my head. "But, you will be able to tell... Right?"

I nodded. "Nathaniel is so far gone that he doesn't notice that I am an apprentice to a God. And if he did, then he is really good at hiding it."

"He is insane," Drake said, causing me to nod. "Are you sure that your half brother will not be under his control?"

I nodded. "Wolves are created by Luna. She makes sure that they are safe until a certain age. That means that no God or Goddess can have control over them. Your other cousin was sick before the attacks. That is why it was easy for your uncle to convert him."

Bernie shook her head. "That man is not my uncle," she said. Anger filled her eyes, and I could see the Alpha that was hidden underneath a lot of pain and fear. "That man is a monster that killed my parents and abused us."
