Chapter 10: Secrets
“You can hold a secret,
Hold it so far in that it drives nearly every thought
And every move you make- your very heartbeat, almost.”
― Deb Caletti, The Six Rules of Maybe

It has been a month now since they were announced as the new Alpha and Luna of the pack.
I can still remember the pain each day.
Like a knife stabbing me over and over as I see them together.
Stepping in this house once more, this feels nowhere as home like I used to feel beforehand.
I can’t bear to see the woman whom I have loved all my life in the embrace of someone who I am not.
I know I should be happy for the two of them, since her mate is like a brother to me, but this jealously that I am feeling is eating me up inside.
This familiar dangerous feeling that I have suppressed for a very long time, tried my hardest to control is slowly resurfacing.
***Flashback 10 years ago***
I left our pack, when my parents died.
I found out that they were murdered by hunters.
I went rouge to find those bastards who took my family away.
I found and stalked each one of the hunters one by one, I killed all of them... their families included, I was on a rampage, I did not care even if there are children whom I have killed, and they will eventually become hunters when they grow up.
I was numb of any emotions; I only wanted to KILL…There was a voice inside of me, slowly taking over day by day,
I found myself liking the adrenaline that the kill provided me, with every breath I take, with every kill I delivered a power surges through my being. I was going for the last hunter of the region, the one that headed the plot in murdering my family.
I was able to locate their hideout in the middle of the woods; they were expecting me to arrive.
They aimed their guns and arrows at me, but I was too quick for them, I shifted into my red wolf. I saw the shock that registered in all of them; I heard one of the hunter mumble and stutter in fear.
“You are the legendary red wolf, the one that kills without remorse, you live to kill, the one prophesize to end everything, the death wolf”
I just stood there not even believing what I have heard; he is just some lunatic who was afraid of what is to come, his fate of death.
The Familiar feeling and the voice slowly took over, as was before... I blacked out...
when I came to be, all of them are already dead, and then I felt a sharp pain at my back, one of the hunter was still alive.
He was holding a silver sword. I saw red and ripped his head off with my claws, His head fell in the ground…My wound is not healing, the sword must have contained some wolfs bane preventing me from healing.
I walked aimlessly deeper in the forest, I fell at the ground near the stream when I am losing a lot of blood, and my vision is already deeming was I about to die? I succumb to that idea, maybe that thought ain’t so bad. There is nothing left for me here anyways. My eyes were already half closed, when I saw her angel…
***End of Flashback***
She was the one who saved my life; not only that, she also saved me from myself.
When I met her, I was afraid that I shall turn into my red wolf and will kill once more, but since I became her protector, whenever I shifted, I was a grey wolf.
I no longer had the urge to kill; the voice inside that always takes over was also relinquished.
But now, that she found her mate, the same feeling is starting to fill me up, the darkness inside of me is building. Trying to claw its way out, then I heard the familiar voice of the red wolf inside my head. I looked at the mirror inside the house, My eyes grey darker and the voice spoke " He took our mate,our angel, we need her, she is ours, she cannot be his, we need to KILL him….
