Chapter twenty-two - How could you? /1/

[AZRAEL]

We were laying on the bed. Well, I was on top of her by now, but it's none of your concern.

She's so perfect - her skin, soft as silk, her hair, black as a raven, her scent.

Wait, her scent.

The door flew open with a loud bang.

There stood a girl, obviously in a lot of pain.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Her face reflected shock and pain.

I think I know her.

I think I've seen her before.

Or is it, just my vision playing tricks on me.

Why wolf was silent for a few hours already, so he didn't bother to give me any clues.

"How could you?" her voice cracked. The girl's body language spoke for her. She was in pain, a lot of it, hints of anger and betrayal drawn all over her face. Who is she?

"Get the fuck out; I'm busy, can't you see that!? Respect your Alpha and Luna, bow down mutt," I yelled back at her. Whoever this woman is, she has no shame.

A loud gasp escaped her lips. She kneeled and looked at the floor, quiet sobs coming from her filled the room.

"I'm sorry for my disrespect, Alpha, I shall go," she whispered just under her breath and stood up. In a second she left my bedroom.

Even though she was long gone, her scent left. I know it, I know that scent. What the hell!

"Mate," my wolf suddenly spoke. He was weak, his words barely audible.

That's when I finally understood that something is wrong. Something terrible had happened, and I'm the blame.

I slowly turned my face to the woman, who was casually laying under me, oddly, her face covered with my bedsheets. Why didn't I notice this before?

"Raven?" I spoke gently.

She nods her head in approval.

"Baby girl, are you alright? I'm sorry about the show this woman had to put up in a moment like this," I spoke again, slowly moving my hand to the sheets, covering her face.

She suddenly grabbed my wrist and nod again.

"Baby, say something, I'm getting worried," I whispered.

No answer.

One thing I know for sure, my Raven would answer.

She nods her head again. Suspicious.

"Use your words, kitten," I added a bit of my Alpha tone for her to submit.

"Yes," as soon as the woman spoke, I knew it wasn't my mate.

I forcefully grabbed the sheets and threw them away. My eyes widened in shock.

"What the actual fuck," I growled.

"Continue daddy, I loved the feeling of your lips all over my body, it's the first time we have been so intimate, don't hold yourself back," she purred, trying to sound sexy.

"You have fucking 3 seconds to explain what the Hell is happening, because OH HOW I will enjoy snapping your neck in front of your fucking father," I let the anger fill me. I was entirely sure that I'm about to sleep with my mate, my perfect little Raven, but I got this whore in my bed instead of the woman I desired the most.

"Stop pretending like you didn't like this," she spoke as she placed both of her palms on my chest.

I grabbed her by the wrists and dragged her downstairs. As soon as we reached the dining room, I threw her on the floor and yelled.

"Cooper, you better get here in seconds and make your slut of a daughter speak before I kill her!" rage kept filling me, adrenaline pumped in my veins, my vision turned red, and I was ready to kill.

In a moment, her father was downstairs, trembling in fear as soon as he noticed the state I was into. He showed his neck in submission; he might be wealthy, but lower rank, so he has to submit.

"My apologies Alpha, but what has happened?" he spoke calmly, trying to hide his fear.

"Make her speak. NOW!" I yelled.

"Samantha, baby, what happened? What have you done?" he turned to his daughter. No doubt he loved little brat, but he knew better than anyone that she's about to die any second now.

"He's trying to reject me!" Sam yelled.

"Baby, you know our Alpha has found his Luna, you better start talking before I take all of your credit cards away from your greedy little fingers," he was calm. Even though she knew herself that she would say her last goodbyes to her life today, she wasn't afraid of it. All she cared about was her wealth. So she spoke.

"I know! We had a deal, you know, I was about to become his Luna until that filthy mutt came along," irritated growl erupted in my chest, but she ignored it and continued to talk.

"I might have sipped this stupid of an Alpha, standing right here, some stuff I got from outsiders to silent his wolf and maybe lose control over himself. Everything went by the plan; he was fucking drunk and ready to mate me until that fucking whore came into the bedroom and started crying like a baby," she spoke with so much hate. I had enough.

In a second, I approached her, smiled at her fear-filled face, and grabbed her by her neck. I'd so love to torture her, but I have no time for such fun right now. All I had on my mind was my mate. Who is Lord knows where right now? I snapped her neck and threw her lifeless body to her father's feet.

Man, in front of me, looked at his pup's body and sighed.

"Does that mean that our alliance is over?" he spoke quietly.

The nerve! I just killed his blood and flesh, and he's worried about the alliance. No wonder they say that the rich have no shame. All they think about is money and power — nothing less, nothing more.

"Clean everything up and pray the Moon Goddess for my mate to return, because if I don't find her, the Hell will follow," I yelled and rushed to my bedroom.

I grabbed a few clean clothes and mind-linked the pack's trackers. We are going to find her.

Please be ok, please don't hate me, please, please don't reject me. I thought to myself.

"She's our mate, she will understand, this was not our fault, and Sam is dead!" my wolf spoke before I left the bedroom.

Shit, I hope so.

I don't want to lose her. It's something I fear. A nightmare...
