"I don't care that you're my mate. I will never... and I repeat, I will never be yours, Hunter." she grits her teeth, making Hunter smirk.
"Is that a challenge? We'll just have to see about that, sweetheart," he says, fighting his wolf for dominance...

Matisa's POV
"Matisa, think about all the risk going out there now. How are we going to go in there now without getting killed? The king has alphas from all over the world visiting tonight. Going to the king's party without eating well is risky enough. You're still too weak. Besides, I suspect Hunter and the other alphas are onto us. We can't risk it, Mati, we just can't." Santiago says, making me clench my jaw.
I know he's right, but I'm too pumped and determined to continue my plan. "I don't care. Carry on with my plan. And if you're too cowardly to follow, then leave now. Save your pathetic ass." I said, making him fist his hands and clench his jaw angrily.
"I just don't want you getting hurt. Think about what we're doing,"
"I am thinking! It's been too long since Elena took the crown. I want that crown, Santiago... and I want her dead! I want every last one in her bloodline dead, you hear me? DEAD!" I snapped, making him look at me worriedly.
"My love, I'm willing to kill anyone that stands in your way to overtake that throne. But I'm not putting you at risk in the process. There has to be another way. We can wait it out and attack Elena tomorrow once the party is over," he says as he hugs me around my waist, pressing a kiss on my forehead.
I grit my teeth and push him away. "I knew I couldn't count on you forever. So I'm warning you. Either you follow my orders, or I'll replace you... TAYLOR!" I yell out for Taylor, making him run inside my room, staggering as he stumbles on the way inside.
"Yeah!" he replies, making Santiago snap. He grabs Taylor by the throat and instantly snaps his neck, making my eyes widen.
"Some mediocre wolf with a drug habit will not replace me. I'm your man, Matisa. Don't you dare forget that!" he says as he grips my chin, his face an inch away. I smirk, knowing well my manipulations had worked. He'd do anything for me, including mercilessly getting rid of his opponent.
"So what's the plan then?" I smile, kissing his lips. ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Abbie
I was downing my umpteenth glass of wine to ease my nerves when I finally saw Hunter return.
He looked just as handsome as when he left but with a more calm expression. Were they able to catch those witches that had tried to infiltrate here? Goddess, I hope so.
I ran to him, launching myself in his arms and hugging him tightly.
He hugged me tightly, sighing in relief.
"I'm so glad you're back. I was so worried about you." I said, resting my forehead against his chin slightly. "I know. I'm sorry I made you so worried, baby. But we're ok now. We were able to catch those witches. And we managed to slip away and catch those bastards who were transporting the missing girls. We got them, Abbie. We rescued most girls," he says calmly. But I could hear a faint sadness in his tone, making me look at him worriedly.
