  Me
  Don't draw attention to us! I'm serious he's a fucking professional killer with a set of rules that I probably break on a daily basis but it's the only way to keep him in line. If he has been good this will be his treat, not that he doesn't care. He has to be told when to eat because he can't feel anything unless he's killing so please don't draw attention to us
 
  Deacon
  That's kind of creepy
 
  Me
  Well you better get used to it because he is coming this way
 
  I close the link and smile as Chris approaches us. I take a sip of my drink and wave as he walks right up to us. He is a little shorter than deacon, he is a lot skinnier but still toned and well defined. He had dark eyelashes and beautiful dark blue eyes, his hair was dark brown and cut neatly. If he didn't kill for fun he would probably be classed as handsome and I'd say he would slay in a suit no pun intended.
 
  "Your Ailm right?"
 
  I smile
 
  "Yeah, and this is my fated mate and fiancé deacon, your names Chris?"
 
  He gave me a small smile and he nodded to deacon but then looked back at me
 
  "Is it your birthday we are celebrating?"
 
  "No it's Islas, she will be out in a bit"
 
  He smiles and nods at me then just stands there awkwardly and I can see deacon is extremely uncomfortable so I do the only thing I know to do. I pour some shots to kill the tension.
 
  "Here you look like you need one of them"
 
  I hand him and deacon one. Deacon smiles at me and takes it. I count down from 3 and down it, they follow and take theirs too.
 
  "Thank you. Normally people just ignore me or avoid conversations with me. It's like they think I'm going to slit their throat, spill their blood into a glass and drink it"
 
  I snort and drink comes out of my nose. I crack up completely as deacon just stares at him.
 
  "For that you get another"
 
  I say through giggles. He looks at me sideways studying me.
 
  "Stop staring at her like that she's mine"
 
  Deacon says in a possessive tone pulling me closer to him and making me laugh harder.
 
  "Sorry, it's unusual that you find such things funny. I dont think ive ever made anyone laugh before"
 
  Well damn now I just feel bad. I frown and purge my lips and look him over. I give us all another shot and sigh
 
  "That's actually really sad"
 
  "It really is"
 
  Deacon adds taking the shot. Chris downs it and shrugs
 
  "Don't feel sad for me, I don't care. You're just unusual. Normally people run from me but you gave me 2 drinks"
 
  "Yeah people normally run from me to"
 
  I answer honestly handing him a jar of poitín, I take a drink from my own
 
  "Why? Do you like to kill people too?"
 
  I snorted and laughed again and this time Deacon laughed too. I shake my head
 
  "No, people just think I'm too crazy to be around. A bad example and I take to many risks''
 
  "All reasons are bullshit I should add she's perfect the way she is"
 
  "Your her mate you would always approve"
 
  My jaw drops. Talk about offended
 
  "Ehhh rude!"
 
  This time they both laugh at me and I smile. His laugh is nice. I wonder if he has ever laughed before?
 
  "Sorry"
 
  He says with a smile
 
  "Have you got a mate?"
 
  "I had one. But I couldn't feel the bond and she was of no use to me so I rejected her"
 
  "You don't want a mate?"
 
  Deacon asks, taking another shot.
 
  "No. I don't feel the way you all do. I don't understand the whole love thing. The only time I feel alive is when I take a life"
 
  "Have you ever tried stunts? Before I met deacon the only time I felt alive was when I did stunts"
 
  "Yes I saw you on your bike today. No I have never tried but maybe I will"
 
  Isla comes out of her room with alot more fabric on her body then when she went in to change. She walks over to us in a very sexy red vest crop top and leather pants and pauses when she sees Chris
 
  "Ohhh damn You're the one who likes to kill people. Do you eat them too?"
 
  "Isla!"
 
  I scold her, she smirks and shrugs her shoulders and looks to him for an answer and I have to admit I am curious so I look at him too. He looks at her funny
 
  "No, people taste weird."
 
  "Oh damn you actually tried?"
 
  I sputter out
 
  "No but my wolf did and it did not taste good. He didn't like it either. Much prefers rabbit"
 
  Isla shakes her head and fills 4 shots and hands him one and us the others
 
  "This birthday just keeps getting better and better. We get a new bike, we get to meet Robbie, we get to do the biggest stunt I've ever done. We both have our fated mates and now we are drinking with a real life psychopath. Like how the hell can it get better than this?"
 
  "I don't know, maybe we could stab someone. It would definitely improve my day"
 
  We all burst out laughing, Isla splutters drink all over the place and I nearly pass out from laughing so hard.
 
  "Dude you need to be a comedian"
 
  "You are very odd. All of you. I think I enjoy it"
 
  For some weird reason I felt a little proud that we could help him enjoy something.
 
  "Welcome to the club dude, I think you just made president"
 
  She grins then pulls out her bag of joints and grins
 
  "Who's up for a smoke this is Arthur's so it's killer"
 
  I wrap my legs around deacon and my arms around his neck
 
  "We will"
 
  Deacon rolls his eyes with a smirk on his face then he kisses the side of my lip and he lifts me off the counter. I wag for Chris to follow and he does, everyone watches him like he's a ticking time bomb and it kind of annoys me.
 
  "Are they always this.. obvious?"
 
  I look to him, he shrugs
 
  "Yeah. Only the alpha and Luna talk to me normally. Everyone else is always like them except for you all"
 
  Isla takes a seat on Jake's knee and introduces him to Chris. I give him a joint and then I put one in deacons mouth and I light it. He sits down with me straddling him.
 
  "Do you not like to walk"
 
  "Why walk when iv such a handsome ride at my disposal"
 
  I wink at deacon. He chuckles and buries his head in the crook of my neck. We all watch as Chris smokes his first drag of his first joint. He coughs and splutters a little and tries again then he looks around
 
  "This is— unusual— but I think I like it"
 
  "Have you ever liked this many things before?"
 
  Isla asks him, he thinks for a little bit then smiles
 
  "Honestly i've only ever liked killing before"
 
  "Well damn we are awesome"
 
  Isla says happily, I roll my eyes at her but I can't help but secretly agree. I just hope he's not secretly plotting our deaths right now.
  ————-
 
  We step out of the car and head for the door of Arthur's pub, Jake keeps Isla at his side because he doesn't want her rushing in and ruining the surprise. We open the door to an empty bar, the lights were off and no one was home. I looked at Isla confused and she frowned walking past me. Just as she enters the doors open and people rush in screaming surprise and nearly give us all a heart attack. They start to sing happy birthday to her and her parents push out a cake in the shape of a motorbike. She looks at me in shock, tears stained her cheeks and I know she's overwhelmed and confused. I hug her and she hangs onto me for dear life.
 
  "Why are they doing this?"
 
  She asks, I pull back and try to avoid frowning and I open a link to her
 
  Me
  What do you mean
 
  Isla
  Trying to be caring loving parents when they haven't been for years
 
  Me
  If it helps this was aspen and Lucas idea
 
  Isla
  It actually does help. At least they loved us
 
  She smiles sadly then pulls away but keeps her hand in mine. She blows out our candles and we head to the vip area at the back with the boys, aspen, luca, arden and Fay. When we arrive we did the first row of shots together and I eventually feel a buzz. Deacon keeps his arms around my waist the entire time kissing my cheek here and there. After the second row of shots, myself, Isla and Aspen decide to dance but Of Course we had to dance beside the Vip area so Deacon, Luca and Jake wouldn't have a heart attack.
 
  I get lost in the music with the girls, swaying my hips back and forth, while waving my arms around. I close my eyes and let my body move to the beat pushing my hips out and around. Soon I felt a presence behind me and I knew it wasn't deacon. My eyes shot open and I turned around just in time for some asshole to try and touch my ass but since I moved he caught my leg instead. I grabbed his hand and twisted it around so far and fast he fell to his knees with a screech. I watch as deacon jumps the Vip barrier in my perpetual vision followed by Jake and Luca. He storms towards us and grabs the hand I held and twisted it the rest of the way snapping it and the noise of it breaking makes me gag and shiver at the sound. He turns to me and I can see and feel his anger burning in his blood
 
  "Are you ok?"
 
  I smile and nod and walk to him, I run my hand down his arm
 
  "I am now that you are here"
 
  He relaxes slightly and kisses my head then turns to the man on the ground
 
  "Touch her again and next time you die"
 
  "Yes alpha"
 
  The man splutters, deacon let's his arm go and he pulls me out towards the Vip smoking area. When we get there he pulls me onto his knee and he holds me. I can feel his anger slowly dissolve under my touch. I suddenly miss the safety of our home so I turn on him and straddle him
 
  "Can we go home?"
 
  Isla and Jake walk out the side door just as I say it isla sighs
 
  "Yeah I want to leave too. I don't even like these people"
 
  I reach for her hand and I squeeze it. The boys look to each other and shrug
 
  "Yeah let's leave"
 
  We don't even bother returning inside, instead we walk around the side and climb into the car, Deacon sits in the back with me on his knee and I rest on his chest. His scent surrounds me and I relax in his arms letting his heartbeat lull me to sleep.
  —————
 
  I wake up the next morning to the sun shining in through the window and the birds singing in the sky. I must have fallen asleep before we got home. I sit up and stretch, I needed coffee so I jump out of bed and pull on one of deacons shirts and a pair of cotton shorts and my favourite sliders then I make my way to the kitchen.
 
  Isla walks out from her side off the door at the same time wearing basically the same thing, we smile and wave to each other and head straight for the coffee pot and starting it
 
  "Hey, how did you sleep?"
 
  "Like a log. I'm so glad we came home"
 
  She answers, pulling gatorade from the fridge and throwing it to me. I grab it and follow her to the glass door and pull it open then I sit beside her on our smoking chair. She pulls a blanket around us and I relax lighting my smoke
 
  "Yeah me to"
 
  I reply she sags against my shoulder getting comfortable as I take a drink
 
  "I hate how they all changed. How they all suddenly care. I always wanted them to care but now they do. I don't know how to act. I don't know if I should be happy about it or afraid that they are suddenly going to turn on us again. It's to confusing and I don't like it"
 
  She was right, I had those same fears.
 
  "I know me too. And suddenly they treat us like we are kids. We haven't been kids in years, they took that from us when they stopped caring and we had to care for each other"
 
  "At least we have the boys now. They won't ever treat us like that"
 
  I smile. She was right. I yawn and snuggle into her closer but freeze when I hear a noise, I grab my phone and sit up. I hear another noise and this time Isla heard it too. It was coming from the deck and suddenly Chris walks out making us jump
 
  "Fuck you nearly gave us a heart attack"
 
  Isla scolds him while holding her chest. My stomach drops, why was he here? I press the record button on my phone and push it under the cushion. Something didn't feel right.
 
  "What are you doing here?"
 
  I asked him looking past him to see if anyone was with him. He shrugs
 
  "Sorry, I came to check on you after last night. You both disappeared after that man tried to touch you"
 
  I frown, why would he care. The coffee pot sounded so I decided to use that as an excuse to wake the boys
 
  "Coffee?"
 
  I ask them, Isla smiles and nods
 
  "Yes please"
 
  He answers, I wrap myself in my blanket then turn and head back to the kitchen area.
 
  Me- deacon & Jake
  Wake up Chris is here
 
  ...........nothing.......
 
  Me-deacon & Jake
  Wake the fuck up!!!!
 
  I curse them internally for sleeping so heavily and I fill 3 cups with coffee. But as I returned Islas passed out and I freeze
 
  "What did you do"
 
  He looks me over but this wasn't his normal look this was a scary serial killer look
 
  "Chris what did you do to Isla! You can't hurt us so why did you knock her out!"
 
  "Because you're both mine now!"
 
  "No, we are deacons and jakes. Nobody else's"
 
  I take a step back, he stands up. His jaw was tight and ticking. He looked possessed.
 
  "No you are both MINE"
 
  He lunges for me. I drop the cups and jump the sofa and grab the fire poker
 
  "NO LEAVE NOW!"
 
  I shout at him. He chuckles walking closer. When he's around the other side closing in I take my chance and sprint towards the bedroom but I feel something wrap around my ankles tripping me. I go down with a scream and he lands on top of me grabbing my mouth with his hands. I bite him until he lets go and I scream as I feel the prick in my neck and darkness takes over.
  ——————-
 
  Deacons POV
 
  As I open my eyes I get this sinking feeling. One of fear and dread, I jump up and growl when I see Ailm isn't here. I jump out of bed and pull on some bottoms as I run to the kitchen. When I open the door I instantly know something is wrong. Something bad happened. I walk in and I see coffee all over the ground with shattered cups. I sniff the air and growl. I ran to Jake's room and shook him.
 
  "What"
 
  "Wake up someone has taken the girls!"
 
  He sits up frowning and jumps out of bed
 
  "Who?"
 
  "That fucking serial killer I can smell him"
 
  He growls and runs to the kitchen and walks past the coffee on the ground. I ring aspen immediately
 
  "What's up?"
 
  "Chris has taken Ailm and aspen! I need everyone out looking for him NOW!"
 
  "Fucking bastard I knew he should have stayed at home! I'll wake everyone and be on my way"
 
  I hang up and ring dad and fill him in as Jake uses his phone, I hear Ailms ringtone and jump towards it. He throws it to me so I unlock it and on the screen is a video.
 
  I press play and listen as that freak sneaks up on our girls and tries to claim them.
 
  "FUCK!"
 
  I scream punching the cushion on the sofa
 
  Me-pack
  Your Luna and beta females have been kidnapped by a man named Chris. He is highly dangerous and comes from the kings pack I want anyone who seen anything, or let him cross the border to report to my house immediately
 
  The pack starts to howl and I need to steady myself. Tears try to push forward and I go into shock. Jake falls to the ground and the fear radiates off of us both, stinking up the room and tearing our hearts out. Dad slapping me across the face wakes me up
 
  "Get it together! We need to follow the trail before it disappears."
 
  A knock comes to the door and I turn and tell whoever it is to enter. Jack comes in
