Chapter 14: Make Me, Yours

Adrik spotted Zeiden coming out of the game room in a hurry. His expression clearly distressed, which was strange. But then it all made sense when Marcello walked out a moment later. Adrik's eyes followed as Zeiden went out to the backyard.

Adrik waited until Marcello had arrived in the kitchen. "Don't push him too hard," he warned the man.

Marcello's eyes were as chaotic as a storm. "I know," he responded. "But I'm desperate."

Adrik understood Marcello when he looked at his own mate. Rosalie stood with the other girls looking even more radiant than he imagined. Desperation, he definitely knew the feeling.

"Adrik," a voice called out. Adrik turned and saw Ronin. "Isaiah's calling for you both," he said. "Come. Now."

They left the crowd in the kitchen and went onto the patio where the alphas sat with Isaiah. Lazarus beside him; Zeiden was here too standing with his brothers. Adrik walked over and stood beside him and Marcello did too. King and Klaus were the last to arrive with Azura.

"All of you already know what happened," began Isaiah. "But I just wanted to caution you again that Aziel shouldn't be taken lightly."

Adrik watched as the other alphas lounged in their seats, but they carefully paid attention to Isaiah's words. There was something about these four alphas that he couldn't shake off. Alec, Gabriel, Zach and Isaiah, all had this energy that was as heavy as a hurricane. The impact of their power wasn't meant to the taken lightly. It was clear to anyone that these four were born to be alphas, no one could take that from them.

However, was this enough to frighten Aziel? wondered Adrik.

"What's Aziel like?" The alpha of the Centauri pack spoke.

Adrik really had never seen a scarier alpha than him, even Isaiah admitted to that fact. Gabriel Centauri was in a league of his own. He even had Zero's respect and that wasn't easy to come by.

Adrik faced his alpha's stern grey eyes who were already looking in Adrik's direction. "He's the type to watch his victim bleed out in front of him," Isaiah said bluntly. "And then when the final drop is about to land on the floor, he slits their throat for fun."

"So, he's kinky," remarked King who sat with his legs crossed at the knee.

"And nothing we haven't dealt with before," added Alec indifferently.

Isaiah leaned forward. "You're right," he agreed. "But it was my duty to inform you and I did."

"Which we are grateful for," said Zach. "All of us will be sure to double our guards and kill the son-of-a-bitch if he comes for our heads."

"Don't hesitate," cautioned Adrik, which surprised them that he spoke up. "If he's in front of you, then don't hold back. End him while you have the chance, otherwise you aren't walking out alive."

Adrik's eyes landed on Zeiden who was looking rather pale, which wasn't out of the ordinary. He was the only one apart from Adrik who saw first-hand what Aziel was capable of doing.

"Well, that's reassuring," muttered Hunter with a sigh.

"I hate vindictive losers," said River.

"You know Isaiah, you could've just told us all this over the phone," said Gabriel. "Why call us over? Unless that was part of your plan."

Isaiah raked his hair. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he replied. "I simply wanted a party."
