Qing's POV

From the outside, the castle looked more ancient than any bone left in the soil. But the rock wasn't even pitted or scarred. The big front door was huge, opened widely for us to enter, to greet the darkness. But as soon as our foot step inside the castle, candles on the chandelier overhead were lit, one by one, illuminating the whole hallway.

The staircasing coming down on both sides like a horse shoe. Two huge portraits of Vladislav and a woman were hanging on the wall on the second floor in between the staircase. The woman in the portrait must be his late mate, but she looked familiar; with her eyes bright blue and her silver hair. Fuck! She looked awfully similar to Dayu. The pack members also gasped in shock behind me.

I shifted back into my human form, followed by the other. We only put on some pants, didn't even bother to wear any shirts. They would be ripped off anyway if we shifted back into our wolves again. Suddenly I heard an excited voice rumbled from the second floor,

"Welcome to my castle, Mutts! I didn't expect you to come this early." I followed his voice to find Vladislav standing on the second floor in front of his portrait, looking down at us.

"Where's Dayu?!" I barked at him.

"Please calm down, Alpha Wang Qing." His voice was way too calm. We just attacked his castle, killed tons of his underlings. How could he be so calm? He must has got a trick up his sleeve.

"Tell me where my mate is! Tell me now! What have you done to him?"

He ignored me completely and said, "Well, I think it's time for me to introduce you to my beloved, my future Queen."

He turned around for a second, gently pulling someone, a man, toward him. No... Not only a man, he was...

"Dayu?" His name came out as a whisper from my mouth.

"Everyone, meet my beloved, Ambrose!" He announced Dayu proudly in front of us as Ambrose. He kissed Dayu's hand softly, which got replied with a sweet smile from Dayu. What the fuck?

My mind was running a million miles per hour. Ambrose? It was his late beloved name, the woman on the portrait. He wouldn't think that Dayu was her, would he?

And why the fuck didn't I feel any pain? If our mate mated with someone else or betrayed us, we would feel an intense pain. We would literally die from the pain. But I didn't feel anything at all.

"Dayu?!" This time I screamed his name loudly.

Dayu turned his head to look at Vladislav and asked him, "Vlad, who is this Dayu?"

Dayu's words knocked every wisp of air from my lungs; I stood there struggling to inhale, to exhale, to do anything.

He didn't know me? He forg- Oh God, I prayed, don't let that happen... I hoped this was all just a dream. I closed my eyes, counting to ten slowly, then opened my eyes again. Dayu was still there, being held close by the vampire. He was staring straight at me, still wearing a confused expression on his face.

The shock turned into anger, disappointment, regret; everything. I didn't know what to feel anymore. I was about to shift into my wolf again, when Dad mind-linked me.

>Qing! Look at Dayu's eyes!<

I looked up again, using my werewolf eyes to observe Dayu's eyes closely. The orbs were pure bright hazel, beautiful as always. But the blue swirl was gone, replaced by a blood red one. How?

He must have done something to Dayu! Rage built inside me like deep water currents. I hadn't do anything to him, yet he snatched my mate away and claimed Dayu and my pup as his.
