Chapter Seven: Vicious Kind of Love

Mei's P.O.V.

The one thing that I cherished most about Colorado was the air. Whenever I needed space I would hike to my little secret cliff that overlooked the whole town, not one person knew about it, not even Hunter. I let out a long calming breath, I was realizing that I had created a bigger mess than what I left behind in China. I love Caiden, and I will always love him, but I don't think I can let my walls down with him ever again. Hunter just made me feel relaxed and calm, I trusted him so that made things even simpler, but this life wasn't an easy on to live as a human.  

My thoughts had me wrapped up in my head and I hadn't realized that I had been out here alone for a few too many hours, but not even my little private sanctuary made me feel sheltered anymore. I wonder what Liam and Quinn were up to right now anyways, I needed to confront them both soon. 

Just as the thought had entered my mind my phone started to buzz. I immediately swipe to answer and I am greeted with a frantic Quinn. "Mei, you have to get here right now! I can only hold them off a little longer!" At that moment I hear a loud snarl ripple through the phone in the background belonging to Liam. "Quinn! What the hell is happening?"I asked immediately getting serious. 

"Caiden showed up at the pack house to talk to Liam, and Caiden being his arrogant self managed to push your bother to the edge," He responds in a panic. At this point I was already on my feet running towards the pack house. It was about a good fifteen miles away but if I changed I would get there in no time. "Shit! I am so sorry for the trouble Quinn, thank you for letting me know instead of getting involved with their childish fights," I say through gritted teeth. 

Quinn grunts at me, "Mei, you seem to attract nothing but trouble!" I laugh a little manically, "oh! you think!" I hung up phone and threw it to the side on the snowy white ground. I really didn't care if it broke or not, I could always buy another one later. I was trying to strip out of my clothes but all the layers had me feeling stiff and I didn't have time to battle my wardrobe right now. 

"Ahhhhh.... Screw it", I think out loud. 

I take a deep breath and focus my chi like my father taught Liam and I to do as young pups, it was what the Chinese referred to as 'life force'. I begin to feel the aura around me vibrate and it soon became a warm burning charge of power. My clothes had begun to disintegrate off my lava hot skin, as I unwillingly dropped down on all fours. My claws were fully extended now and I could feel the snow had created a puddle of mud underneath my rough pads. I shake out my long silky coat; the wolf was angry, anxious, and most of all fed up with all of the drama.

Today everyone was going to stop treating her like a child and let her live her god damned life, free to make any choices she saw fit.

*Howl*

Caidens P.O.V.

"I know what you said! I just don't take orders from a pup!" I yell at Liam. things had been getting a little heated since I had showed up at the pack house to talk to Liam about the other night.  I was fully aware of how upset he was with me for disobeying his orders, but he had a Beta to babysit the kingdom.

"Oh that's fucking rich coming from a guy chasing a girl, who is, how much younger than you?" Liam shot back, my eyes were beginning to turn black as night, and like every vampire, small amounts of blood started leaking from my tear ducts. 

"What happens between your sister and I, is between her and I," I hiss out. My claws were beginning to extend and my fangs began to throb in my sore gums. Mei used to call me a weeping angel. HA! Her calling me an angel, that's rich.

"You know damn well she called me upset right after your little escapade the other night! God you are such a selfish prick! Why don't you just leave her be?! She came here to get away from your dumbass. Can't you see how much she was able to grow in one year without you?" Liam was shouting at me but I could see he was trying to hold back his wolf as much as he could.

"I see that, I am not stupid! I am not going to fuck it up this time Liam, I swear, but that starts with me getting rid of an unwanted pest." I reply.

"Caiden, Quinn or I would not allow you to kill the human. Quinn has already come up with a solution, we just need to make sure that every unmated male of age shows his face at that gala. Her mate can take care of the rest." Liam sounded like he was trying to reason with me, but he didn't realize that the gala was the only way I would lose her for sure. The idea of Mei finding her mate and having his pups sent a sharp pain that lingered in my chest.

"How did the meeting go with the human though Liam?" I cracked a smile knowing damn well that would push his buttons, but that didn't matter, I was too damn pissed off now. Liam didn't respond fed up with the situation as well. I noticed that his clothes had start to catch on fire as he was beginning his shift. 

No many how many times I saw the Wang family shift though, I was still left in awe. They were a little different than most werewolves because they were from one of the five original family bloodlines. This allowed them to live longer and the ability to control the fire element. I wasn't sure how much, but than again no one besides the original family descendants were aloud to know that secret. 

"I don't think you should antagonize him any further Caiden!" Quinn yelled, he had been standing on the side lines carefully watching, but now he was standing right in between the fire. "I just got off the phone with Mei and she is on her way here right now to deliver hurt on both your asses if you start fighting!"

Damn it Quinn! You really can be so annoying! Ever since the day we met seven years ago we have only tolerated each other, but that was another story. "Quinn, mind link her now and tell her we are fine." I replied in a slight panic, one super wolf I could take, but two.... I wouldn't stand a chance, and I wasn't done living quite yet. Before Quinn could reply a chilling howl erupted miles away, but I knew better, she was already here. 

Liam had already shifted to his wolf,  and was baring his teeth towards both Quinn and I. He was no longer in control of his emotions and I was scolding myself for pushing him to this point. I could see Quinn trying to mind link him some sort of plead to stand down, but it was too late. Right as I was going to surrender Mei's massive black wolf leaps through the clearing of the woods and head butts me straight to the ground. Her snout was mere inches away from my nose and I could tell she was here for blood.  

Given the position I would have been pissing my self if I wasn't so damn turned on by the dominance her wolf's aura emitted, but I decide if she smelt my arousal she might just bite it off. Which of course didn't go as planned when she raises her head to sniff the air. A snarl ripples through her stomach and I could feel the vibrations tickle my neither region.

"Come on Mei, I was just about to back down." I hold my hands up in surrender, " It's your bother you might need to worry about right now." She looks over to were Quinn was standing frozen like a dear in between two mega Alphas. She instantly leaves me laying in the cold snow, the only sound that could be heard over the chilly silence was her paws crunching the soft ice under her feet.

From where I was laying, I could see that Quinn had moved out of the way, and slowly made his way to my side. Mei and Liam had begun circling each other as if they were not family but each others prey. Liam makes the first move making small bursts of snaps at her heels. Mei being older and an Alpha wolf as well made it harder for him to make contact as she dodged his childish taunting attacks. 

I could see that she was in no mood to play his games, as she finally moves to head butt his shoulder knocking him slightly off balance. If you didn't have supernatural sight it was almost impossible to tell the difference between the two, they were both the same color and size except Mei had a ruby tint to her eyes. Liam shook his fur and made his way behind her, he opens his mouth dangerously wide snapping down on her tail drawing blood on the white ground. She yelps in response, but she was too angry; she let out a slow growl of a warning to release her or else, but Liam was too stubborn to back down as he clamped down harder. Mei crouches down on her front paws lifting her rear in the air swinging Liam over her head and into the side of a tree. 

Everything went silent once more as she stalked towards him again like prey confirming the kill. Liam made no signs of movement as she sniffed his neck. A few seconds pass and she takes him by his pup scruff and begins to drag him to the front porch, drawing a bit of blood on purpose to wake Liam back to consciousness. She begrudgingly lets go when he lets out a whimper of pain and turns back into her human skin. 

"SHIFT LIAM!" she yells and I realize she is standing completely nude in all of her fare skinned glory. Quinn being modest though, looked down to the ground as both her and Liam stood on the porch exchanging some heated glares. I'm sure I wasn't going to escape her wrath as easily either. "Mei, take my jacket." I heard Quinn speak up, "Maybe we should continue this inside where it is warm?" He suggests. "Yes please the snow made my back wet..." I pipped in. "Oh stop being a baby," Mei mocked me. I smirk before standing, "alright, as long as I don't have to apologize to your brother." She snickers, "The only one either of you are apologizing to is going to be me after I'm done with ya!" We all flinch slightly at her yelling.

Hunters P.O.V.

What. The. Fuck..... Werewolves didn't exist, I mean not in real life but like maybe in Hollywood? 

My head was spinning and my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. I don't know what the fuck I just saw, but my brain didn't quite know how to process it. I had followed Mei a few times before to this little over look that was hidden in the side of a mountain, I figured she was safe but I had a few seconds to spare before heading back to work and it had been awhile since I had kept tabs on her like this. Of course I wasn't stupid enough to get too close because there was only one path up. 

luckily there was a little cell tower that gave me perfect view from across a street, and with a little help from my military grade binoculars I could see everything I needed too. What I hadn't expected was to see her turn into a giant fucking hell hound. What did this mean? I definitely needed to find out more, but until I can figure out more, I have to keep this to myself. My precious doe was in fact the very beast that ate them. 

"Interesting..." I whisper under my breath.
