Walking out of the room Morana turned to Brandon's office, she peeked in to see him pacing the room as he held a hand to his forehead while speaking on the phone. He looked stressed, his hair was all over the place and he had dark and heavy bags around his eyes, Brandon growled and mumbled on the phone, "Fine." He said and ended the call. He turned towards the door and stopped as he caught sight of Morana, "I didn't think you would come." He said and frowned as he looked at the phone, "I have to leave" He said sadly. Morana softly sighed in response, her confidence fell in waves but, she tried to hide her disappointment, keeping a poker face as she leaned against the wall."of c-course." She whispered causing Brandon to sigh and grabbed a jacket. "A visitor was supposed to arrive tomorrow. But apparently they decided today was better." Brandon explained. Morana’s eyes widened in fear and Brandon walked towards her. He leaned down and placed a warm kiss on her forehead, "If you would

The moment Brandon got to the pack house he went straight to his office, looking around for any trace of the poison. There were still whiskey glasses out from the night before, and now that he was sober, Brandon could smell the Wolfshaze. “How did I not notice” he thought to himself, the lavender scent was so potent, it stung going down. Aero should have known, but Brandon knew better than to place any blame on him, Brandon could hear Aero whimper and cried from our actions last night. So many thoughts flooded through Brandon’s mind as he thought about his mate “How could we ever get our mate to forgive us? Would she be able to forgive us? We hurt her” they could feel the emotional and physical pain flowing from her. They’d marked her without seeking her permission. Brandon couldn’t help but think that they were no better than the men who had hurt her before. Brandon sat at his chair and opened the laptop looking through the files on the female rogue. Alpha Kevin was finally able to

What in heavens name was Hontas talking about? Something snapped in Morana’s head. She’d been tricked, Hontas had told her Brandon would feel pain and sure he did but the cunning wolf had said nothing about mating with her annoying mate. “Hontas what rubbish are you saying?” Morana struggled as much as she could to gain back control but Hontas was not having it. Hontas only clung tighter to Brandon pressing herself onto him, their chests pressed up against each other, her eyes shining blue, ‘you’ve had your fun Morana, you wanted to hurt him and you did, now it’s my turn’ Hontas leaned closer to Brandon, until their lips were almost touching, he could feel her breath caressing his face, ‘and I want him’ Hontas said to Morana before pressing her lips on Brandon’s.It was just a light press on the lip, but when he only looked straight at her magnetic blue eyes Hontas kissed him again, this time more intensely. Brandon still didn’t respond, either he was too stunned or too angry, Hontas

Hours had passed with silence drowning the house, Brandon still stayed back against the door, with his head still in his hands. He’d been trying to understand the events of the past few weeks, not only had he found out that his mate was Serena’s daughter, but he had also not believed her when she told him time and time again that she had not killed her mother, he had dragged her into his basement and done the most unspeakable things to his mate. The one woman he had promised never to hurt but to forever love, he had starved, beaten and scared her to the point where her wolf had been triggered, taking full control and purged out all Morana’s memories.The poor girl had been hurt all her life, by her uncle, her pack, his pack members and even worse her own mate. Morana had experienced an endless cycle of betrayal, hurt and abandonment and all she craved for was a shot at love. Tears began to fall from his eyes, his entire being shook and her mourned for all the things is mate had lost,

Morana continued to laugh at Cameron, she had expected him to jump at her with questions concerning her abrupt change in personality, or her accepting to complete the mating process, but he seemed to still be stuck on the fact that she had wanted to go shopping.It took a while before her full-blown outburst slowed to a quiet chuckle, “yes, I will like to go shopping Cameron, I can’t continue to wear Brandon’s clothes “she told him, “I just find it strange that you want to leave the house, much less go shopping. And don’t get me started on you mating with the Alpha, what happened to hating his guts?” Cameron all but shouted in frustration.“I’m tired of staying cooped up in the house and Brandon and I mating just happened okay?” she pushed her hair out of her face. She really didn’t feel like explaining how her plan to hurt Brandon had backfired or how Brandon had reacted the morning after. “Wait, let me get you, so you just happened to have mated with the Alpha? It doesn’t make sense
