Perseous's Human Mate

Lone Wolf

Max's POV:

Even from this remote cabin, I could see the smoke in the distance. Bouncing from one toe to another, I asked the guard standing next to me. "What time is it?"

Checking the military grade watch on his arm he sighed," 9:04. They will be setting off the bombs any minute now. Then it-"

"- will be my mate's chance to burn the Charm Speak. I know," I responded quietly. I didn't mean for the sentence to come out so rudely, but I couldn't help it. My insides felt like they were on my outside. So vulnerable and out in the open. It's like someone could walk up to me and just stab me in the heart. Hugging myself for comfort, I shakily walked back inside the cabin.

Terrified of what was about to occur in the next few minutes, I paced the wooden floor. My breathing was heavy even though my movements were so casual. Agitation, frustration.... I wanted to do something, but there was nothing I could do but wait.

In a gloomy mess on the couch, Dirt whimpered seeing me so stressed. His string of cheap gems drooped and his large crevice of a mouth could have been mistaken for the letter 'n'. The last time I was in this position I had Gabe here with me, distracting me, comforting me with reassurance.

I made a frustrated groan/scream with the back of my throat. I never thanked Gabe for everything he did for me. And now he was out there risking his life for my mate and I. Thinking of Gabe brought me some reassurance. The thought of his amber eyes glowing when he smiled, or the way his hair swept so naturally in front of his eyes. These thoughts let a warm feeling seep into my chest.

It was just enough to stop the itching in my palms. I needed hot chocolate.

As the brown elixir poured into the coffee mug, I reached back into my pocket. The evidence felt rough against my sensitive skin, it had an unforgiving texture like all paper does. With the sound of the hot chocolate drizzling in the back ground I unfolded the slightly crumbled piece of paper.

Inside was not what I expected. It was a incredibly long list of names, scribbled along the lines of an every day piece of lined paper. Having seen Percy do pack paperwork numerous times, I recognized the chicken scratch as my mate's. At first it just seemed like a list of names, but it was what was written next to each name that caught my attention.

Kevin Lamarck ~ Heart Attack
Danelle Maverock - Tripped down the stairs drunk
James Nikita - Drug overdose
Kal Killings - Burned down with his home

My initial thoughts were that Percy was marking the deaths of his pack members, sounds like something a normal Alpha would do. These were my innocent thoughts until I read the last five names on the page:

Alpha Olcan - Staged Rouge attack      This never happened?

Junior Supreme Luna Angela - Staged Nytari Burning     I thought she was still locked up?

Omega Gabriel - Fake Suicide        What the hell is this?

Parker Gold - Died in Charm Speak War     My hand slapped over my mouth, a sad attempt to contain the bile rising in my throat.

Any Female Heirs - Crib deaths, accidents, untraceable food poisoning (Must have strong blood lines)

I couldn't read anymore. I couldn't bare the thought of Percy not just killing his own family and friends, but our children?

Taped to the bottom of the page was a pen with a light at the end of it. I pressed the button, it's light shined at the top of the ripped page. The top of the page read in invisible ink: Kill List
