NOW

When I was done retching, Ezekiel was walking out of the compound and down the stairs to where we were. Kane took a step back from me and Ezekiel looked angry. "You neglect to remember that we are bonded," Ezekiel snapped as he walked in between Kane and I.

"No I remembered," Kane snapped. "But its not you I was telling that stuff to, so frankly it is none of your business," Ezekiel rolled his eyes. "But what is your business is the real reason for why Kian wants to put Louis down," Kane said crossing his arms.

I looked at him, wiping my mouth clear of any spittel that was left over. "What do you mean the real reason?" I questioned. "Exactly that, you guys think you are so smart, and one step ahead of everyone but we play this game so much better," Kane informed us. "Bracken relayed his findings to Kian, Kian knows that you have vampire blood within you. He knows you were originally bit by Louis and that Ezekiel hesitated just a little too long and thus the vampire blood fully entered your system before the lycanthrope blood did," Kane said. "What does that mean?" I asked. Kane smirked. "It means that now after freaking thinking that the dumb Brit was just psychotic we know why he is how he is, he's a hybrid...an abomination...and abominations get put down," Kane stated.

"I already told you that he is not getting put down," I snapped. I could feel the anger coursing through my veins like fire. "Azalee, you arent comprehending, Im trying to help you, if Kian wants to put Louis down for being a hybrid, what do you think he wants to do with you?" Kane asked.

Ezekiel looked panicked now. "What is he planning Kane!" Ezekiel yelled. Kane took a step back again. "I cant tell you anything past that right now, because Kian doesnt even know what he wants to do. His sole calling is to serve the Queen. No one is more powerful than her, except for hybrids. We, as Warriors cant let anyone's power override hers, and two people that we know of...are quite inept to do so," he explained.

I felt like I was going to be sick again.

THEN

"Are you kidding me right now!" I exclaimed as I marched past Ezekiel. The music was drowning out my words, but both him and Kane were yelling something at me as I walked away. I made it to the bar and Ezekiel stood in front of me. "Did you think I wouldnt know you were here?" he asked me. He had to speak loudly but I still understood him. Kane caught up to us and he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at Ezekiel. "I didnt care if you think whatever it is that your thinking, I just want to be with my best friend," I stated.

Kane was quiet, observing from the side. "They had to be banned Azalee, why dont you understand that?" Ezekiel asked. "Im not a werewolf yet, so I dont have to follow your rules!" I snapped at him. I saw Kane smirk, but he kept quiet.

"Now you're sounding like Louis," Ezekiel snarled. "Speaking of him! How come we can still be in contact with him if hes a Rogue too!" I exclaimed. "Different rules for different scenarios Azalee," Ezekiel said sighing. He was acting as if dealing with me was the same as dealing with a two year old. "Oh and how so?" I asked, I even stomped my foot. "Louis never turned anyone," he stated. "No but he's killed people and he's the reason why you had to turn me!" I exclaimed.

"Its a different case altogether Azalee now stop asking questions," he reached out to grab my arm and I pulled away from him. "Im not going anywhere with you," I hissed. Kane walked up to me and stood beside me as he eyed Ezekiel up and down. He was anticipating a fight. "Quit acting like a child, Azalee," Ezekiel warned. "You dont understand what Im going through!" I yelled at him as an old school MJ song blared through the club.

"I dont understand!" he roared and I jumped, grabbing Kanes hand and squeezing it. "I feel everything you feel Azalee Wilder! Every hunger pain, every lust filled molecule in your body, that happens when you see Louis, feel Louis, THINK about Louis, I FEEL! I felt your heart breaking when I told you, you werent not ALLOWED to see or talk to Stella or Jonas. I feel it all. I know you, better than you know yourself. For example. I dont have to be a werewolf, or a fucking Alpha, to KNOW that youre scared shitless of me right now. That you want Kane to take you away. That you want to hurt me like I have hurt you," his hazel eyes were glowing. He was pissed. VERY pissed. I backed up even further back and I hit the metal bar, and Kane stepped in front of me.

"Just go," Kane said to Ezekiel. "WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Ezekiel roared again. Kane smiled and cracked his knuckles. "Im way more important than you can ever realize, I could have you put down with just a snap of my fingers" he told Ezekiel. The glowing in his eyes transitioned back to normal. "Just take her home," Ezekiel demanded and then he turned and walked past Stella and Jonas, who were being trailed by Louis. I swear he lived and breathed this club.

"Well look what the wolves dragged in," Stella drawled as she walked up to me. Ezekiel flipped her off as he walked into the crowds. I forgot about the super sensitive hearing the werewolves had . "So did daddy come to drag you away from me?" she asked. She looked at Kane who was still smiling his little creepy "I wanna kick ass now" smile. "He doesnt control me," I snapped and I turned to the bartender. I loved the Underground, they never asked for an ID here. I ordered my beer, she handed it to me and I downed it.

I felt like shit, I was so hungry. And then I saw Louis. Horny and Hungry. "Well hello again Darling," Louis said as he walked up to the bar next to me. I was always so nervous around him. He looked good enough to eat. He wasnt dressed as usual, he was wearing tight form fitting jeans and a white tshirt, that was glowing in the lights. I didnt reply to him just took his beer from his hand and downed it as well.

20 minutes later Stella was holding my hair out of my face as I was puking up the blood that I hadnt known was in Louis bottle. I slumped back against the wall of the bathroom stall and Stella looked down at me. "That floor is dirty," she said cringing. "Im dying anyways whats the worst thing that can happen?" I questioned her. She shrugged and sat down as well.

Someone came in and knocked on the stall and Stella reached out, pulled the girls ankle and the girl screamed and hit the floor, her head bouncing off the tile. The girl looked under the stall at Stella and groaned. "Im busy getting ready to have a heart to heart here, you dont ruin heart to hearts by knocking on the bathroom stall. Now go pee elsewhere," she demanded and then I saw the girls eyes dilate and she nodded, got up, ignoring her bleeding head, and left the bathroom.

"You cant just compel humans," I told her wiping the blood from my face. "Well I did, now care to tell me what that whole fiasco back there with Ezekiel was about?" she asked me. "He's been crazy. Very touchy feely. Wants to know what Im doing. Where Im at. Who I am with," I told her. "Jonas said that this bond thing you guys have is rare, but happens with most of the turned wolves." she told me.

"Do you have a bond with Jonas?" I questioned her. She smiled. "No, with us its different." she said, "Jonas, he turned me because he loves me, I was hurt and he saved me. Ezekiel, he saved you because he was feeling his morality. He saw you, bleeding out, a human and he felt a connection. Jonas said that his entire life that Ezekiel has been taking care of people, he was a shoe in for Alpha. He's kind and considerate up until a point. and when that point has come and gone, he gets attached." I looked at my best friend.

"He lost someone a long time ago, and he's making up for lost time with you," Stella finally told me. 'Its creepy if you ask me but Jonas says the bond intensifies what he feels for you because you guys are connected more than just emotionally, but spiritually. Break the bond and he will leave you alone, but if you break the bond, he would die too," she told me.

"Why cant I just go back to being normal?" I questioned her. She smiled at me and reached out for my hand. "Let them throw you to the wolves Azalee," she said squeezing my hand. "But come back leading the pack," she said and then she got up from the floor dragging me with her.

"Baby steps. One step at a time, one problem at a time. We will find the answers for everything soon enough, in the meantime, be a teenager. live your life and have fun," and she pulled me close and hugged me.
