The whole pack was now on their knees, including Kat who had to fling herself off the bed to kneel before her. She couldn't even raise her gaze toward me but I knew what she was thinking and I ignored it. "I never thought in my life that I would ever have to worry about whether or not my pack has my back." I spit out, putting a hand to my thigh and running my hands through my hair roughly, strands of delicate pieces fell out as I ripped my hand away in anger. "UNTIL today." I hissed, as I crossed the room and stepped over the kneeling subjects, my gaze landed on Patrick who was on the floor his but literally up against the wall. He looked quite odd and must be completely embarrassed being in such a weird pose. My bare feet slapped against the marble floor as I stopped in front of them. "Patrick, you were not present before we came here, after or during, what business is more important then your pack?" I asked while waiting for a response, his body shook and vibrated. Oops, "you may speak." He gasped out a breath and began rambling off, "my brother, he needed my help, he was trapped in Hades and I had to get to him. I tilted my head to the side, gazing sideways up at the ceiling. "Max would not be in this situation if he had just joined my pack." Patrick appeared to be biting his lip before whispering softly "he does not believe a woman should be Alpha. He says it's unnatural way of things." I barked out a laugh turning on my heel, he let out a breath that was soon hurtled out of his mouth by my foot that crushed against the side of his ribs. He grunted but remained in bowing position. "You all belong to me, you vowed your legence, you understood what it meant and my powers as an Alpha woman." I turned away and walked back into the room, stepping on top of the kneeling forms. "I have treated you all with so much respect as you are my family, my blood runs through all of your veins!" I reached down and ripped off the clothing of Krix. A large bite mark on his chest revealed my seal on him. "You each have this mark somewhere on your body. I've made love to each of you as there is nothing more intimate than receiving the ritual of blood sharing in this entire world." The atmosphere of the room seemed to change quickly as a weight of heavy guilt settled over everyone. "A mate, my mate and it does not matter whether I chose this or not and whether you like it or not does not mean you should NEGLECT them. They are a part of me!" my voice raised a notch. "She was nearly taken tonight because of all of your foolishness. Did I not tell you emotions are dangerous! We are wolves, not vampires! We are cold and calculated, we are vicious and unforgiving."

I let out a growl "You all acted like PUPS!" they whimpered in unison. "PATRICK, you are blood, you should know I would have helped you retrieve your ill minded brother!" I turned to Red "Beautiful Red, sweet Red, STUPID Red" she twitched at the word "You know as an Alpha we can have a Mate and a Beloved." I turned to Tyranny and crouched down "Tyranny, your anger will kill you one day, your name is not who you are, just because the Elders named you after Anger does not mean you have to let it control who you are! " I growled out a warning in the ancient language "I am being lenient, punishments should be given for your insolence but I will not, as your Alpha is merciful." with that I raised my hand and snapped my fingers "rise" and each of them found their footing rising slowly to their feet, wobbly from the dominant power waving off me like a power converter. One by one they kneeled before me asking for my forgiveness. I nodded "It may be because I act too often as your friend instead of your leader but I do not wish to rein my power upon you, you are my loves, my life.." each of them seemed to frown, their eyes glazing over as if they were to cry, they knew of my past and what I had to battle to be where I am. "Please my family raise your heads, you are my equals, now please help us clean this room.." they nodded and began cleaning. Tyranny lifted a body over his shoulder while Red laid another on top. Near the end Tyranny ended up carrying all of the bodies out of the room and Stark and Patrick were scrubbing the floors. Kat waved incense around and Krix pulled the sheets from the bed. It took a total of four hours to get the room and hallway cleaned. I settled down in the chair ignoring the presence right behind the bookshelf. I can sense the tiny creature her hands pressed against the makeshift wall, her hair curling at the ends. She was calling to me, not as a person that she has gotten to know but as her mate, but I am just not ready to deal with her. I close my eyes and rest my head against the back of the chair.

Lucet pressed her palms harder against the wall where she knew was a door. She leaned her forehead against the wall before dropping down to her knees. She did not understand why the woman on the other side will not look at her. When they were together she always flinched, was she disgusting..? She touched the ends of her hair to examine them. She slowly got up and made it to the bathroom where an imprint of a mirror was suppose to be. She reached out and touched it. She has never once seen her own face. She must be hideous and that is why she chooses not to like me or talk to me kindly. She falls to the ground in front of the sink and begins to sob. "I do not know why all who say they love me leave me.." she softly whispered as once again she drifted off into a deep sleep, curling up on the soft plush carpet.  

My senses calmed down and I found my composure, the rest of the pack decided to turn in early and were all sleeping soundly in their rooms. The house helpers returned to their posts and I found myself in front of the bookshelf. I ran my hand over my face this was the third time this night that I had stood in front of this looking dumb as ever. Breathing in courage I opened up the bookshelf. It let out its familiar screech and I crossed the familiar threshold. My heart dropped as Lucet was no where but it settled as I smelt the air. She was still present but it was different..cold almost. I rushed over to the bathroom where I found the tiny thing shivering and curled up on the carpet. She sleeps so long and so often, I knelt before her and scooped her into my arms and she did not even stirr. I gazed down upon her face, a strand of hair ran down the middle of her face and down her nose. I swiped it gently away, her brows furrowed ever so slightly and her breathing pitched for just a moment before evening out. I bit down on my lip and walked her over the threshold and settled her into my bed, I gently slid in with her covering us to our chin in blankets. I let my nose take its fill of her scent before being sucked into a black and dreamless sleep.

My body shot up as I reached for a knife underneath the pillow pressing it against something warm and flesh like. I opened my eyes to find a very beautiful and delicate creature straddling my hips, her hair framed her face as she opened her plump lips in a shocked o shape but she did not flee from her spot. She settled in deeper, pressing her pelvis into mine. I let out a groan and snapped the knife shut, dropping my hand onto the bed. "What in goddess name are you doing girl?" I asked harshly. She tilted her head and ran her hands over my chest, stopping just beneath my breasts. I sucked in a breath "Lassy.." I let out a warning growl, she blinked down at me with a curious face before leaning in her glossy lips inches from mine. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head attempting composure but her lips met mine and all sanity was lost.
