Alpha or Beta? (Being edited)

Chapter 11

Bryce's POV:

I stalk off into the woods and take off my clothes on my way. I jump and mid air shift into my midnight black wolf. I'm furious right now about everything. All the pieces are starting to come together. Trent has to be doing this for mom.

Trent was always loved most by mom. She never really liked anyone else but him. My dad was always envious of that so he treated Trent like shit. It is because of that that dad likes me more. Now that mom's dying of cancer both Trent and dad are willing to do anything to save her. I didn't tell Kari about everything I read in the book. Sure their blood can heal small internal things, but in huge dosages it can cure diseases like cancer... But the dosages are so great that it usually kills the genezer in the process. I have to figure out what exactly they are planning to do before they hurt Kari.

My wolf runs as fast as he can to burn of all the anger I have. In order to figure this out I'm going to need to play strategically. I take a deep breath. Honestly, I will do anything if it will save her.

I've been running for about an hour. Maybe I should head home. I quickly change direction and race toward the pack house. Suddenly my lungs begin to hurt and I try gasping for air but nothing helps. I fall to the floor and struggle for breath. What the hell is happening? Before I can think anymore I black out.

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping. I slowly stand and look around. I'm in the woods. Just then the memories of last night flash before my eyes. My wolf growls and I sprint toward the pack house. I need to find Kari. Something has happened. When I get near the house I find my pants, shift and run in.

I open the door and almost run into a waiting figure. I look up and see... My dad?

"What's got you in a rush?" He says. Shit, I don't know what his perspective is on Kari yet, I just need to act cool.

"I fell asleep in the woods and I'm going to be late for school." I say and run my hand through my messed up hair. "Actually now that I think about it, I might as well take the day off." I shrug and walk around my dad casually.

"I'm home now, aren't you going ask me to try and get Kari back?" He say. I turn and shrug.

"No, I'm over her. Honestly she doesn't deserve me anyway, and plus I want a blonde chick." I say. My father smirks.

"That's my boy." I nod, so he is siding with Trent. As I'm about to turn around again my dad says, "Son I'm really glad you think that way, I want you to come with my later tonight, I need to tell you something amazing." I smile.

"Alright, see you then dad." I run up to my room and close my door.

So many different thoughts are flowing through my head right now. I take a deep breath and decide it is best for me to calm down in the shower. I gather new clothes and take my time washing myself under the hot water. When I'm done I sit on my bed and think. I need to figure out what the hell happened last night.

Kari's POV

I groan, the only thing I feel right now is a throbbing pain in my head. I try to move my arms and legs but I can't. I slowly open my eyes. I notice that I'm in a dimly lit room. When I check my arms I see I'm tied to a bed. I try struggling to see if I can break through, but it's no use... I'm not strong enough. I try to relax knowing that struggling won't help me. I close my eyes and recall the last memories before I was knocked out...

Oh my god! It's all coming back to me, Trent faked being my mate the whole time, but why? What makes it worse is that Bryce knew we were mates the whole time and I thought Trent was my mate... That must mean the wolf I met after I first changed was really Bryce not Trent.

My wolf huffs at me practically saying 'I told you so'. I sigh, I have a lot of apologizing to do. Before I do that though I need to get the hell out of this room. I let out an annoyed huff.

"I see you're awake Kari." I glance up and see Trent standing at the door. I glare at him.

"Trent why did you take me here? Untie me now." I demand. He raises an eyebrow at me then frowns.

"No one tells me what to do you little bitch." He starts to walk toward me, "You're so annoying, I can't wait until we kill you." He says with an evil smirk. I continue to glare at him.

"Who is 'we'. You have more people working with your evil schemes?" I say. He laughs at me then sits next to me on the bed.

"Oh I forgot you haven't met my dad. He's the minds behind this whole situation. Sure I'm the one who decided to fool you on who your mate was, but my dad has been looking everywhere for you Kari. And he finally has you." He stands up and gets ready to walk away.

"You won't get away with this." I scream at him. He turns around quickly and slaps me hard across the face. I'm stunned for a moment then I shake it off and smirk. "That's all you got?" He looks at me in shock but quickly composes himself.

"You're just lucky we need you in good health." He grunts then heads toward the door. "By the way, we have a little surprise for you later on." He says and walks away. A surprise? Just great.

I don't know how long I'm sitting on the bed for before an older man who looks a little bit like Trent walks into my room. "Why do they have you all tied up? Here let me help you." He walks over and undoes the constraints holding me to the bed. I slowly sit up and rub my wrists. "Well Kari, it's nice to finally meet you. I'm Josef Frost, Trent and Bryce's father." He sticks his hand out for me to shake. I look at it for a moment and decide I don't want to touch him. He sees this and slowly puts his hand down and sighs. "You see, I'm trying to be nice here Kari. Unfortunately for you though, no one but your sister cares for you, so I'm afraid that whether you die or live won't be that big of an issue." I glare at him.

"What do you mean no one cares? My mate is still out there. He's probably looking for me now." I growl at him. He raises an eyebrow.

"Oh you mean my son, Bryce?" I look at him in shock. How does he know? "Honestly if he really did care then he wouldn't have agreed to help us use your life to save my wife." He reaches his hand out and strokes my face, I shudder in disgust. "What a shame too, you both would have given me some beautiful grandchildren. To bad he doesn't even like you." My heart begins to break. What if he's right... That's probably why he never told me we were mates. He doesn't want me. Josef jumps off the bed and strides to the door, "by the way, don't even bother trying to shift, we injected some Wolf Bain into you. That way you can't shift and hurt anyone. Well my sons will be in later to talk to you. See you later Kari." He shuts the door and leaves.

I crawl to the corner of the bed and hug my knees. So neither of them ever loved me. They were just using me for my powers to save their mom who has a deadly disease... But Bryce never told me I could stop deadly diseases. Oh, he probably kept that to himself so I wouldn't put the pieces together. I sigh and lay down. I shut my eyes and drift off into a weary sleep.
