Life In the Shadows

Chapter 2

Three Weeks Later

I sat alone on my balcony watching the sun slowly begin to descend. My heart was pounding, I knew soon that he will be here and I had a bad feeling that it was not going to be a good visit. I pressed my addiction on my lips feeling the smoke filling my lungs. I needed to calm down before my demon wanted out. I glanced out at the back yard to find Takeshi and Gaara training. Ever since the incident with Gaara and Toshi on the first night, Takeshi took it upon himself to help Gaara. I could not lie, it shocked me how he wanted to help Gaara immediately. I could feel a smile forming on my lips, I was forming feelings for this quiet man. Takeshi glanced up to where I was standing giving me a small smile making my heart pound in my chest. Takeshi looked back towards Gaara, It was as if my body and mind felt as if he was my mate but I knew deep down that couldn't be possible. I had a few men from my pack out on the search for Ramon Hughes. That bastard will pay for doing the things he has done to Toshi. A sigh escaped my lips, luckily ever since Gaara had stopped by Toshi's room after getting healed, they have been inseparable. I had a feeling that they were going to be mates once Gaara turned eighteen and Toshi could reject that horrid man. Yet I felt like I might not be able to see that happen. Something deep down inside me had a feeling I might not live to see the day after I reject Colton, I knew deep down that I would perish fighting for my pack and for their lives. Takeshi seemed to be getting along with the pack perfectly, I had offered him to be the second Beta yet he wanted to earn the title not just be given it because of his name. There was something special to him yet I could not pinpoint what it was. I haven't really thought about being able to date in a long time. I mean maybe that was a huge possibility, to be able to have a relationship even if I wasn't destined to be with him. A small smile placed on my lips as thoughts of being with him flashed through my mind. Even though he had a cold demeanor towards most people yet I could see right through it, those small hints of smiles when we would have our private talks. Those sideways looks he would give me when he thought I wasn't looking. I knew wholeheartedly that I was falling for this man, yet then my happiness disappeared, he had to have a mate. There was no way that Aine would allow someone to survive without giving them a mate... She had to be out there somewhere waiting for him. She would definitely be lucky to find him, he was perfect. His kindness was genuine, his looks sent fear and excitement through anyone, he was devilishly handsome and very strong. He was the picture perfect mate. I took a shaky breath while putting out my cigarette, I had to stop thinking about him. I was only going to hurt myself in the end, like I did with Colton. I stood up fully just to hear someone clear their throat behind me. I gasped to look around seeing Roe behind me. He had a knowing look while saying

"He is in your cellar, Alpha Vexin."

I smirked evilly as I dramatically turned around and walked out of my room. Finally something to get my mind off of Takeshi. We finally had that bastard. My demon was screaming with joy as I called out for Toshi. By the time I got to the back door, Toshi appeared by my side while looking up at me in anticipation. I grinned evilly while saying darkly

"Are you ready for your revenge my dear young one?"

An evil grin crawled itself onto her face while she nodded her head making her lavender hair bounce back and forth. I grabbed her hand and began to lead her to my cellar. We circled back through the forest, yes it was a bit longer yet I was making sure that no one followed us. I did not want the younger ones know our dark secret especially Gaara.Not that he would disapprove of my actions more of he would go completely insane with the site of blood, a good insane. I was in so much excitement as we got closer to the cellar, I could already smell his fear.Oh please say he had yummy blood. I could hear him screaming at the top of the lungs as we got to the door. Toshi shivered with fear while I place my hands on her shoulders and growled lowly
