21. Betrayed

Cain POV

I do not know how long I was out for but I was in a world of hurt.

Ryker wasn't in too good a shape either.

'Our mate got the drop on us' Ryker is trying to be funny right now.

I returned a small chuckle.

"I guess she really didn't want our help."

I felt Ryker tense up.

'MATE!' We both said.

Quickly we darted for the door. Threw it open and there were two guards of Alpha Kelian.

"Where is my mate, my Luna Andrea."

They didn't bother to even look my way.

As I motioned to get past them they blocked me and tried to force me back into the room I was trying to leave.

"Where is Alpha Kelian, I demand to speak to him. Either you bring him to me or I will drag the both of you after me. Your choice!"

Now was no time to start a war with Alpha Kelians pack but I was willing to risk it to get to my mate.

"Watch your temper Alpha Cain." Alpha Kelian was coming to view around the corner.

"Where is my mate?" At this point I was more livid then worrying about staying calm.

"She left. I'm not sure what she is planning to do but she has asked me to inform you that she is sacrificing herself."

My mate, wanted to die??

It didn't make sense. We had just now come together and in order for our son to have a future she decided to take herself out of it.

She decided all alone, without asking me for any type of help or offered any other scenario.

'SHE DECIDED ALONE. SHE LEFT ALONE. SHE WANTS TO DIE ALONE. OUR MATE IS NOT SUBMISSIVE TO US!' Ryker was very pissed off and not that I blame him.

He has front row seats to Andrea running off from him after they mated.

But I felt sorrow for my mate, from the moment that I found her she has been fighting for herself.

And now she is fighting for her son, OUR son.

She was a mother backed into a corner and I sure as heck wasn't going to miss my love in action, watching her rip out another throat for threatening our son.

"Ryker. She is our mate." I tried to calm him.

'SHE LEFT ME AGAIN!' He was starting to pace in my head.

"She left us, but you have to know we can not control her, just like how she can not control us."

If I could not make him see reason he could loose control, that I could not allow.

'She is OUR mate, she does not negotiate with us. She just does what she wants. SHE NEEDS TO KNOW WE ARE HERE AS WELL.' Annnnd he's getting mad again.

"Our mate is strong Ryker, what is wrong with a strong mate and Luna?"

I certainly was curious on what he thought on her.

'She left me.'

A small whimper left him as he stood with his head hanging.

Great I had a wounded wolf.

Ryker never did get over when Andrea left him.

It was the only morning he was going to wake up with her in his arms, but she wasn't there.

He punished himself so much that the next time he woke, we had a pup.

When everything calms down with my mate they really need to talk it out as well.

"That was a year ago. When this is all done you need to talk to Siaya AND Andrea."

He huffed away from me and now was irritated, no doubt because I am right.

"Are you two done?"

I had completely ignored the fact that Alpha Kelian was standing 3 feet from me with now 4 guards.

"Just making a point that I will now share with you. Andrea is MY mate. If she wants to sacrifice herself I'll try d**n hard to keep her alive as long as I can."

"She is MY daughter, you can not...."

Was he serious!

"SHE IS MY MATE. SHE MIGHT BE YOUR DAUGHTER, BUT SHE IS THE MOTHER TO MY SON, MY ONLY SON AND HEIR. AND MOTHER TO YOUR GRANDCHILD!"

So much for keeping myself level headed.

I hadn't realized that I was growling at him and ready to take out his guards.

One way or another I was getting to my mate.

"Yes, my grand child. But I have as much control over her as the weather. She is an alphas daughter. My daughter! So she has my temper. And if you try to get in her way of protecting her pup she will rip your head off, and I don't mean as a euphemism. I mean literally rip your head off."

I did recalled the first time I saw her again.

One threat and she had a head in her mouth dripping with blood.

I can not be sure but I swore I saw her smile after she dropped the head.

"I know better then anyone just how short tempered she is, after 3 minutes of her returning to my pack she stabbed me, followed by her ripping off the head of Alpha Jason."

Alpha Kelian stood tall and very proud.

Heck, I had to give it to him though, my mate survived everything she went through because her father raised her to be a survivor.

Not that I would admit it to him, but Alpha Kelian knew just how to raise an Alpha heir. Son and daughter.

Right now I just wanted to keep his alpha daughter alive and return her to my son and pack.

'The PACK!' Ryker echoed in my head over and over.

"Alpha Cain, would you like to know just what she might be doing or would you rather stand here and argue with your wolf and I."

"Whats the plan?"

"Lets get back to my office."

He then turned to two of his guards.

"Make sure to get the Blood Hunter Gamma female and the Delta female to my office."

"My pack females??"

I was questioning the motives but I knew this was all Andrea and Nessi's doing.

Nessi POV

(Flashback)

"Nessi, please do this for me. I know you are not ok with me going but I need you to trust me."

Andrea was adamant on leaving me with the charge of guarding her baby boy.

How could she be so cold?

How could she not see how much I love her?

She is my sister, my best friend, and my Luna.

"Andi, I'm begging you let me come with you. No one will ever come near my nephew. I swear!"

And I meant it.

Micheal meant the world to me already in the few weeks I had him with me.

His power didn't affect us, we kept him away from most of the males in the Blood Rain pack as well as the Blood Moon pack members.

Just a hand full of us were allowed to be with him.

Once a couple of rouges got into the pack house and tried to kidnap him, but we handled them quickly.

"I have to do this for him. Everything is for him. I can not sit by while everyone around him is a threat. You and the BloodRain pack are the only ones I trust with my son. Cain won't understand but when the time comes and he asks for your help, follow him. That's all I need you to do. Please tell me you can do that for me."

She seemed to have everything figured out but she didn't want me to know all the details.

I trusted her but I also wanted to keep her safe.

She was my Luna after all.

"Can you just tell me a little more?"

I pleaded with her, but she was a stubborn one.

"No, too much will make it seem like a set up and I can't have that if this is going to go the way I needed it too."

"Ok. I'll do it."

"Thank you."

"But first chance I get I'm going to kick your butt for keeping me in the dark. And don't you dare get yourself killed. If you do, I'll still kick you butt."

I hugged her as tight as I could.

I didn't know how long I needed to wait but I do hope Cain wakes up very soon.

"And please have my dad keep Micheal close, I really need him to keep him close."

"Don't worry Alpha Kelian won't let anything happen to your son."

"I have to go. I'll see you soon."

And she turned, heading for the east tree line and started running before anyone could stop her.

Well tried to.

Noah was running after her.

Maybe he's going as back up.

(End of flashback)

"Delta Nessi, Alpha Kelian and Alpha Cain require your presence in Alpha Kelian's office."

One of the Blood Rain guards stood by waiting to escort me to my Alpha.

I guess this means that Alpha Cain finally woke up, no doubt he is going to force me to tell him everything.

Good thing I didn't know much.

"Very well."

It has been 72 hours since Andy and Noah left.

They should almost be to the outer borders of the Blood Moon pack.

I never saw the reason of not using a vehicle to drive there.

Then again this is unofficial pack business, usually it's a whole parade of vehicles when visiting a neighboring territory.

I held Micheal close to me as I made my way up to the pack house.

He was too busy looking around.

I wondered if he knew just how much his mom loved him.

She should have been here, instead she is doing everything in her power to make sure he had a future.

I waited outside the office doors as I was announced by the escorting guard.

"Bring her in!" I heard Alpha Kelian shout from the other side.

My father and Alpha Cain were in a heated discussion when I entered.

"She is a member of my pack and I say she goes!" Cain yelled at my father.

"I will not have you putting her life in danger when you don't have a plan. All I'm asking is that you tell me what you are planning so that I may know what the future might hold for her that's all."

my dad shouted back.

"Alpha? You sent for me."

Seems he didn't noticed that I entered the room, but as soon as I spoke he charged at me like he was ready to rip my head off.

"WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU?!!!"

Andy!

Of course that would be his first demand.

"She didn't tell me anything, she just told me to keep Micheal safe."

Well basically that was the truth.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. TELL ME!"

This time he was using his alpha voice and I submitted.

Baring my neck to him, so that if he chooses he could end my life.

"She told me to keep Micheal safe."

I looked to Micheal.

So quiet.

But he was staring at his father.

Actually he looked as if he were already challenging Alpha Cain.

Never breaking focus on the large man in front of him unknowing that his father had the power to end me if he decided I betrayed the pack and his Luna.

Alpha Cain was now radiating power.

It hurt.

The bond of an Alpha was so strong that it pulled at my head, making it throb to the point I thought I was going to black out.

Every Alpha had this ability, well the Alpha born.

As soon as I dropped to my knees I heard the tiniest growl.

Micheal was growling to his dad.

Then it stopped, the painful tug at my brain stopped.

Alpha Cain was now looking as his son.

"My boy!"

He reached for Micheal but I growled and turned Micheal away from him.

With what he just pulled I wasn't going to let him near Micheal.

He full well knew Andi wanted me, and only me to care for her son.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!"

"I must keep him safe from anyone. I'm sorry Alpha but that was Andi's command. And if you threaten me I have to assume it is to get rid of me and take Micheal."

"I would never harm my son!"

He was starting to calm down but that didn't make me less alert.

"Micheal saw you as a threat and defended me, that should tell you something."

Cain looked to Micheal who was still looking up at him.

Soon Alpha Cain was playfully growling at Micheal.

And Micheal growled right back.

I had no idea what was happening but Micheal suddenly became too heavy to hold.

As if his weight tripled, the he was trying to wiggle his way out of my arms.

"Stop!" I was trying to get the Alpha to see reason but he was focused on Micheal a little too much.

"Alpha Cain, stop, what ever it is you are doing to him. I beg of you. I don't want to take him from you but I will if I have to."

That did it.

Soon Alpha Cain had his hand on my throat.

"TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER!"

"GET AWAY FROM MY GRANDSON!"

Alpha Kelian and my dad both charged at him.

But what happened next shocked the lot of us.

Alpha Cain, Alpha Kelian and my dad all stood staring at me.

I didn't understand why, the grip Cain had on me loosened, but he still had me pinned.

And I felt it.

As if knives were being dragged up and down my arms.

I could feel the warm blood dripping from my elbow.

I was panting, trying so hard to hold on to baby Micheal.

Who seemed to want to get to the floor, but I was still in Cains hold.

"What is that?"

I looked towards the door to find Trissa, the Delta female to Blood Moon staring at me.

NO.

Not to me, to Micheal.

GRRRRRRR

When Cain finally released his grip that was when I was able to look down to see a pup.

A tiny pup, with pure black fur, and one blood red eye, the other bright blue with slits of white.

"Did he just….."

I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"He just….he's a…." Seems I wasn't the only one who was caught off guard.

"My son just shifted!"

Now this wasn't what we were prepared for.
