I'd hated rushing off and leaving Eden in her room after her father shared her most personal painful experiences to me without her consent but my wolf was screaming inside my head clawing at me to escape and hunt down the bastard that dared to touch what is ours.

My wolf had never behaved in such an agitated and distressed manner but the knowledge that someone had hurt our mate had placed a heavy weight of guilt around our heart that we were not there to save her.
I was so consumed with my own anger that I couldn't fight him and I knew I was going to shift.

I had to get out of their pack house and into the forest immediately to begin my quest for revenge.

Neither my wolf or I were able to stop until we knew that we had done everything in our power to protect her.

Nobody would take Eden away from us.

I needed her like I need air to breathe. I couldn't function without her. I just wanted to lay in bed with her 24/7 and fuck her hard then hold her as we talked all kinds of bullshit.

Within a minute of shifting and heading deep into the territory I'd been mind linking my beta and warriors organising a plan of action to fulfil Sawyers destiny- a painful bloody death at my hand.

I stopped briefly and raised my snout into the crisp night air and let out a ear piercingly loud howl.
It was a war cry to my pack to rally them into attack mode.

I ran through the wilderness of the forest at full speed barely feeling my paws hit the ground before I bounced forward again swerving low hanging branches and fallen trees. My run was like the main thought in my mind- Nothing and nobody would get in the way of me fulfilling my primal need to protect what's mine.

My wolf felt exactly the same and growled loudly in agreement as every cell in our bodies itched to destroy the person that had hurt our precious Eden.

Once I had simmered my wolf and I's rage to a point in which we could think and act in a rational manner I headed back to the pack house to organise a plan of action to stop that monster once and for all.

Hayden had contacts everywhere and within two hours we got word from rogues in the area that Sawyer Quinn has heard about his sister being mates with an alpha and was far from happy about it.

As much as I didn't understand why you'd make a choice to end up going rogue I didn't have the strong hatred for every single one of them that existed like my reputation suggested.

In fact rogues were often useful sources of information due to the wide expanses of land they cover due to not being tied to a particular pack territory.

Rumour had it had Sawyer was planning on kidnapping my Eden before we could complete the full mating ritual.

Luckily I had far more friends than enemies and I'd arranged an emergency video call between all of the alphas in the surrounding territories to discuss getting rid of this cretin for good.

If we all monitored the land that surrounded the Silverhaven pack we could, in theory flank him and trap him down with no where to run.

It wasn't like I enjoyed killing people. Well not all the time but the more I recalled the disgusting things that he had done, the things he was going to do to his own sister, To Eden,the more I realised it had to be done. Sawyer had to die and there was nothing else to it.

In fact he was lucky he'd lived this long because of I'd of known more details closer to the time I would have hunted him down and murdered him with a smile on my face.
