Mason's POVWhen I heard that vampires were involved in kidnapping Tessa, I was determined to find out who and why. But for Now, we needed to satiate Tessa's heat.Alex and I were already there and we took Tessa the way we did when we marked her. She was between us and one was at her back and I was at the front. The feeling of both Alex and Tessa made me almost lose my mind. This was the feeling that I knew that I always was looking for. They were my mates and I was happy. And no vampire or wolf would make me leave them. My heart beat for these two. I opened my eyes and saw Alex looking at me and it was like he could tell what I was thinking. He leaned in and I met him and we connected our lips. "I love you," I told him after we parted and he smiled, "and I love you more," he told me and we came at the same time inside of Tessa and something happened. Instead of pulling out the way we usually did after an intense sexercise like that, I felt Alex grow bigger and longer and he
38. Mason's POVAfter we came back to the city, we made sure that Tessa was okay and that she had a full time security detail though she hated it. She tried arguing with us but we wouldn't have it. We loved her, yes, but we weren't going to take any risks. This was the second time she had been taken away from us and we didn't even want to think what would have happened the second time if we didn't find her on time. "No Tessa. Your security is out of discussion. The first time, you were taken alone. This time, they took you from our grasp. We can't risk that again. I can't risk that again," Alex said and I was totally behind him. "Are you going to just stand there as he makes decisions for us as if he is the leader?" She asked me, wanting me to back her up."Yes. Yes I am Tessa," I said simply and she was alone and she had no choice but to agree. She humphed and walked into the room we all shared and Alex kissed me in gratitude. "Thank you," he said and truthfully, I didn't se
. Alex's POVTessa was gone again.I didn't believe it because I had just been with her.Going back to that morning, she was angry when Mason and I told her that we were going to add to her security detail.She was not happy because she thought that we were interfering with her freedom but we managed to convince her.Mason had talked to her before he left and I guess that helped.Later, she was to go to work and since Mason wasn't here and I had a lot of work piled up, none of us could go with her.I thus gave her to five trusted betas and they left.Their orders were to look after her making sure that they shadowed her.They were not to leave her no matter what.They left and I kissed her goodbye.After an hour or so, I received a call: Tessa was nowhere to be found.Not even a trace of her could be seen.According to the guards, they stopped by a KFC to get her the chicken she was craving and they were with her all along.Tessa then excused herself to go to the loo and a female beta
Mason's POVI really wanted to be with Alex as he was looking for Tessa but I couldn't.At that moment, I was with my dad and the other clan elders because apparently, women vampires from our clan had started complaining of the fact that I was mated to two half souls and to make it worse, they were both wolves.Apparently, the rumor was that I had even lied and they weren't from our ancestors or gods.I just fell in love and decided to disregard out clan's teachings.Thus, when I heard that Tessa had been kidnapped once again, I was almost double sure that it wasn't the witches this time.This is because my dad and out elders had issued a warning to all witches about hurting Tessa.The witches, though powerful, knew that we were an enemy they needed to be wary of.This is because, we were faster than their spells and before anyone could throw a spell at us, we would have gotten to them already and snapped their necks.They knew that if we went to war, we, the vampires, would win.Als
. Mason's POVAm I confident that I will win? Yes.Am I confident that Jared is so easy to beat? No.I have fear in my heart but I can't let anyone, especially Alex, see it.I fear that Jared may have something up his sleeve.This is the first time someone had dared challenge an alpha for the seat.When dad suggested we go for the blood path, I was hesitant. But at the thought that if I don't then Jared will never stop, I had to do it.I am doing it for my mates. I want a happy family for us and this is the only way to make sure that the vamps don't bother us anymore.Alex is still hesitant and I had to make him promise me that whatever happens, he will let me handle Jared.Dad already sent the notice to Jared and he already replied."He can't wait to rip me apart, piece by piece."I know he's trying to intimidate me but I think it's working.Why did he kidnap Tessa and twice at that?Isn't it because he is sure that he can beat me?I am also sure that he knew I would go for the blood
Mason POVWhen we got to the arena, there was excitement everywhere.Majority of the people were sitting on my side and they cheered loudly when they saw me.On the other side that was supporting Jared, there sat a handful of vampires and they were as excited.I realized that Jared was already there and he was laughing with them.When they saw Alex and I walk in, they booed us and some even made a killing gesture to the neck to Alex.I got angry and released my aura towards them and Alex held me."Save your energy. That's all they can do.By attacking me, they know they will perform better," he told me and I realized what they were doing.No. It wasn't going to work on me."Where is Tessa? Alex asked."She isn't here yet.According to the rules, Jared is to give her to the elders and they will give her to the winner," I explained and I could see that it was taking all he had to flare up.He had promised me to keep his cool and I knew he was trying to do just that."It's all gonna be
43. Mason's POVI was angry.I felt adrenaline run through me and I wanted Jared dead.Seeing Tessa in such a weak state made me want to break him.I then looked at Alex and saw his worried countenance.Why would allow someone to hurt my family and then allow myself to die and leave him to make them suffer?Not today.I closed my eyes and by the time I was opening them, I was the alpha and no longer Mason.I was going to make this bastard pay."Prepare to die," he teased and I didn't pay any attention to him.Us vampires heal very fast.That means that if I want to kill him fast, you have to remember that we weren't allowed to use any weapons. It was our bare hands, I had to be fast.Make sure that a wound doesn't heal before I give him another one.I growled and my fangs came out and my long nails.Alex had helped me sharpen them for this occasion.I saw Jared panic but he reigned it in and if I wasn't looking at him with my alpha vision, I would have though that I was hallucinating.
44. Alex's POVMy heart was in shambles. Watching my mate get beaten and bleeding all over....At this moment, I didn't even know what to think.Mason was up there fighting for his life and for a moment, I thought he was losing.On the other side, Tessa was lying here unconscious and I wasn't allowed to go near her until Mason won.I didn't even know how to feel.I wanted Mason to win. I wanted him to win for us. If he lost, I would also lose it.But one thing was for sure; if Mason died here, not that he would, I would make sure that this clan regretted ever messing with what was mine.Mason fought tooth and nail and I was getting confused.From what he had told me, this Jared guy wasn't as strong.He wasn't even among the top elites of the clan.This surprised me because he seemed to be very good.Very good that he was giving Mason a run for his money.I wanted to help him with a few strategies but I realized if I did, I would confuse him.He also might think that I did it because I
