Alpha Blake novel Chapter 26

　　Blake

　　It would be impossible for me to continue with my plans if I kept her in the shadows. The fact I'm keeping so much shit from her is eating at me. 

　　Making my own damn words itch at me from when I told her to quit keeping secrets from me. I made her promise to never hide things from me, yet I have so many hidden things from her.

　　Two years before she returned, I found out that a top warrior from the Crescent Moon pack had passed away while she was supposed to be off in college. I would be lying if I said it didn't scare me. Millions of thoughts went through my mind, what if that happened to my mate? 

　　That's when I knew something was not right. I took advantage of an invitation the Crescent Moon's new Alpha had made us. I had already met Tasha by then. We had just talked once back then. But I used the fact she was attracted to me to my advantage. 

　　I seduced her. In return for me kissing her senseless, she'd give me information on our new Crescent Moon alpha. He was shady, cruel to his pack, and mercilessly...and kept it all behind walls. His Luna had no idea of how he really was.

　　Macy was the daughter of the former Alpha, but her pack didn't accept women as Alpha. So, when she married Stewart, he became the new alpha to her pack. Hiding his own little devilish ugly deeds from her.

　　I kept tabs on him, if he dared hurt Macy, I would take matters into my own hands. For a werewolf, your mate is yours forever. It's a bond that no one or anything can break. Only death, or your own mate's rejection.

　　I was lucky to have Selene, even if I didn't know it was her, deep down I hoped it was her. 

　　Every time I kissed Tasha, it made me feel like shit. Needless to say, Xander would go for weeks without speaking to me. Thus, the reason I got the nickname of ruthless Alpha, from the younger pack members. Because I went around with a bitter heart and pissed off all the time. I isolated myself from everything and everyone. 

　　But to find out she was my moon child is breaking my heart even more.

　　I was told my true destiny since I turned eighteen. My father told me about the last primordial vampire coming for revenge, to end a lifelong battle between the Primords pack and the Primord vampire Clan. A war that has gone on for centuries on end. A war that started nearly 500 years B.C., each time we are faced against them, our goddess Selene gives us a moon child. 

　　Her destiny is not only to protect the Alpha, so that our lineage may go on, but she is also destined to sacrifice herself for her Alpha. 

　　It didn't seem like a bad thing when I found out at first. But to know that Selene is my moon child!? It's tearing me apart. She's not just my moon child, she's my mate, my wife, my queen. 

　　If given the chance, I will change the circumstances. I will be sure to change the end. I was serious when I said I'd die for her. And I know Xander is willing to do the same for Hazel.
