"Breaking my gaze from Teresa's body towards the necromancer, I accepted. But from the time she returned to me. There was something different about Teresa. Something evil lurking just below the surface. An obsession. An obsession with killing her sister, who she blamed for stealing you away. She was determined to kill her and anyone else who got in her way."

Unremorseful and abruptly, I shock her with what I tell her. "Selene's Dead. My delta killed her for disrespecting my mate." Apparent in her returning gaze. Her facial expression showed how she thought. Unable to continue speaking, Ana's eyes opened wide, shock. Ana stared at Alejandro's still form laid between my legs, standing guard over his body. Her voice came forth with a hidden dark pleasure at this news. "It was what she deserved many times over." At that moment, I understood, despite having birthed them both. Ana favored only one of her daughters.

I hear Estrella privately speak to me. "Alpha, question her. Not provoke. We still need her." But Estrella's Wulf Spoken tone showed its own malice, like the revving of a motorcycle. Pure death Speak. "Bait her. Remember, unlike the past, Prime Alpha is well. He waits for One-Eye. Then. She. is MINE."

It does not sit well with me; my voice conceals festering anger. Just the thought of my mate being poisoned destroys my rational thinking. "I will have my vengeance, not justice Estrella. IT WILL BE MURDEROUS VENGEANCE. Grrrr, THIS ENDS! If something indeed was to have happened to my mate. I would have cindered the whole town of my birth and its residents. Leaving it ash for the wind to carry off.

The resonating sound of canines and jowls click as my lips lift upwards, preparing to complete my desire to kill this bitch and those who have come after my beloved. The hairs along with my back rise, bristling, showing itself as it continues spreading down from my shoulder blades towards my tail. Muscles in my back legs beneath my skin coil and tighten. Preparing to explode me forward on my que. Right into her throat. "I will relish her blood." However, I am firmly fighting the urge, which is becoming increasingly difficult to resist. NOT to attack her just yet. My restraint is giving way to impulse. Beta sees this and takes over the conversation.

Seeing Alpha protecting Prime Alpha's still body restraining himself is affecting me. I growl. Looking ta dis ANA bitch. "Selfish pride, ya see wat dis has done Ana?." I say her name, pitching it higher than other words. "Starting wit yo first crazy-ass daughter, SELENE. WHO POISONED HER OWN SISTA over DICK & STATUS!"

My farce in this just went out da window. Reminded of what dat dead cunt Selene did to my Amarok, my actual intent expresses itself. "She traveled ta America only ta become a self-appointing, torturing BITCH! Persecuting OMEGAS! The exact path she once held......." Neon chocolate eyes release wisps of Celestial guardian energy.

Cocoa's Wulf Speaking tone turns stone-cold. Yet, I know why. I learned of this same torment and persecution Selene had inflicted on Robert. Being accompanied by a tornado, which now forms high above. However, I realize it hides something within it.

"By Summoning the tornado to shroud the lightning cloud quickly before it is seen. Cocoa saw what I saw. "good move, baby." Alejandro will not continue this charade for much longer. Neither will my Alphas. Their patience is thinning. However, we can't afford to be discovered. That's why Beta takes over the conversation. To cover his supposed 'poisoned' brothers increased agitating emotional state.

Aiding him, I summon a portal within his tornado. Portaling the lightning cloud to our home range. While doing so, a strong, pungent, rancid scent of decaying flesh hits my nose, bringing awareness. HE HAS ARRIVED.

His own decaying flesh scent powerfully floods the air. Overwhelming my nose, as well as that of my pack.

From their head movements, so too has Alpha, Beta, and Teresa's mother. I relay this to an already aware trio.

Sable's body twitches slightly as thunder above us announces its presence, a giveaway by any other standard. "Teresa's 'MASTER' has arrived." Thank the Goddess, it appears natural.

Not shifting my eyes from Anna. Beta and I pick up a faint scent of rotting flesh. A sudden natural thunder rumbles in an otherwise cloudless sky. Apparently so also, does Sable. Wulf Speaking, I say, "Beloved, you need to calm down."

"I have begun to pick up the scent of One-Eye. I want him CRIMSON. He is MINE" A combined human/wulf anger sears electrical currents throughout my body so powerful, It twitches.

"And you shall mate. He is a threat to life. But we must lure him out completely. THEN, you can have him." Both of my mates mentally huff, Sable Growls. Inked tar of his last words unnerves me, "Alejandro & I swore we would bathe in his black blood crimson; AND WE SHALL."

I am Reminded of his ancient origin. "The Hound of death. Killer of life, the first devourer, is coming. His hunger was insatiable. Until father saint, Lazarus intervened with him as my younger brother, Eleggua, did with me."
