Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I met Tyler's sister Jenifer, or Jenny, and her mate Dallas. His parents were Conner and Katie, who was such a sweet woman. Conner, was a rough man, whose eyes were icy blue. The color and the way they were. They were hard, and cold. I knew then that I would never want to be on his bad side.
  Jenny was like their mother. Soft spoken, kind, and held a warmth to them that wanted you to trust them.
Through the entire dinner, Tyler kept his hand on my thigh. His fingers play at the hem of my dress and I would push them away. His hand would slide to caress my inner thigh, and I would give him a look, then move his hand away.
That wouldn't be smart.
Move your hand Tyler Moon.
Don't try me Alexa Sinclair.
Move that hand or you lose it.
Fine.
His eyes turn away from Dallas to look at me. "When is one of you going to give me grand babies?" Katie finally asks, breaking our eye contact. "Mom." Jenny whines, and Dallas smirks. "Soon Katie. Soon." He says in his raspy voice, making Jenny turn as red as a tomato. Tyler's eyes shine with wickedness and I go still. "Well Mom, I'm hoping by late winter that Alexa will be pregnant." He says, not taking his eyes of me. "Really?" Katie smiles at me, and I nod slowly. She places her hand over Conner's and smiles, which he slowly returns. Tyler takes my hand in his and looks at me with an emotion I cannot place. Conner's scrutinizing eyes lock on me, and Dallas watches me with an interest in his dark brown eyes. Tyler growls lowly at Dallas and Conner's slams his hand on the table. "I won't have it, Tyler Andrew Moon. If you cause another fight between you and and Dallas again, I will have you put in the cell." Conner snarls, slowly rising from his chair, anger radiating from him. Tyler nods and Dallas doesn't move his eyes from me. I shift closer to Tyler, and his hand tightens on mine.

We finally eat our dinner in peace, and retire to our rooms. I dress into one of Tyler's shirts and climb into bed, tired. He lays behind me and molds his body against mine. He kisses my neck, and his hand caresses my lower stomach. It moves dangerously low then moves up, raising my shirt with it. His teeth pull at my skin and I push back against him. He growls lustily and I whine lowly. He shoves his hips up against mine, and I close my eyes, knowing what comes next.

My fingers twist themselves in Tyler's dark auburn brown hair and my other hands runs up his shoulder. He groans softly in his sleep, and I trace the small tattoo on his side. I knew that on his back, he had his Alpha marking. It was large, and very detailed.
He nuzzles his head closer, the blanket covering us both.
Our clothes were discarded all over the room, on the ground, chair, by the curtains.

After some time, Tyler wakes but doesn't let me know. I am asleep when I feel something bite my neck, then runs its tongue over the place. I quickly jump up, and Tyler laughs. And that's when I see his sharp fangs, then I touch my neck. "You marked me!" I ask, my tone raising with each word. He just kisses me, and I bite hard on his bottom lip. He growls and when I let go, his kisses get rougher. He lowers his head to kiss my neck, then bites over River's mark.

River's P. O. V

  I have been looking for Alexa for the past couple of days and it's as if she's disappeared off the face of the earth. Nothing was found, not even a piece of fur or hair. Her scent led right into neutral land, smack in the middle at the Old Pine.

Legend of the Old Pine says that the Old Gods made it, to be guarded by the Old Wolves, the Sinclair family. They were made to protect the Pine from the demons of the other side. The demons took form as cougars, which soon made them into our enemies. But one Sinclair, Fell, had killed a young cougar. That event sparked the flame that led to many deaths on both sides. And among the roots of the mighty tree, was born the first shifter. The Gods had made man that could grow with the wolves. And soon another family was brought, the Chases. They were brought only over a mountain. The first shifter, found another among the Chases. From them, was made the Moons. And so on. But all shifter families, came from the Sinclair line. The Chase family was not meant to rule all packs as the Kings. It was the Sinclairs, but Stefan wouldn't fight. He knew his mate and family needed him. I know either Kane or Alexa will fight and kill King Carter Chase.

It must be soon, as many packs as banding together to take down the Royal packs, which included The RedHills, RedRocks, Morning Creeks, and us, Blooded Peaks. I knew the first to be taken out would be the RedHills, so I had invited them to stay with us to protect one another. The Morning Creek Alpha is sending his two sons to us very soon, as he knew they would be killed first. The RedRocks were fighters on their own, but Alpha Tyler and his new mate were coming with his sister and her mate. His parents said they will stay with the pack.
I remember the one uprising Conner had caused when I was small. He had killed half of the King's guards when he was finally stopped.

Burning pain grips me and I miss a step. "Alexa." I mutter and grab the pills I was given by the pack doctor. The pain ends and I look in the mirror. I look tired and sick, and my mark was gone. Someone marked my mate. But I knew that it was for the best. But I also knew I was dying without Alexa. The pills did very little for me now. But I had a feeling that when I found Alexa, it would be bad for me.
