Nate's POV

I looked down at the pathetic excuse of a man as I punched him repeatedly in his face. I didn't hesitate to make the decision to execute him when I got my hands on him. He had tried to take my mate away from me, and he would be punished.

As my eyes slowly turned to black as my wolf took over, I ripped out a part of his neck and the blood sprayed over me. A malicious grin spread on my face as I realized that he had stopped breathing and would never wake up again.

I would keep this side of me away from my mate, but I wouldn't dare to stop myself from killing anyone who thought that they could have her.

Sera's POV

"The rogue," Nate spat out. "He was executed." I looked up at him with an incredulous look on his face, and he wouldn't meet my eyes as he carried me. It didn't sink in that he had killed Dylan until a few minutes later.

"You're kidding right?" I patted his chest. "You didn't kill him?"

"He's dead Sera," Nate said darkly.

"No," I ran my hands through my hair as tears filled my eyes. "No, you couldn't have killed him."

"He's dead!" Nate grasped my shoulders and made eye contact with me. "I killed him with my bare hands."

"Get off of me!" I tried to push myself out of his clutch. "Monster!"

"Stop," he held me tightly so I would stop moving. "I tried to be nice, you tried to leave me with him, so he died. This is how I will act every time you try to do something against my wishes."

"I hate you!" I slapped him once across his face. The sound resonated through the room and Nate stopped walking once I did it.

"You hate me, yes," he nodded. "But now you will be with me forever." He continued to walk as I broke down into tears again.

"You can keep me next to you until I die," I whispered as he opened the bedroom door and set me down on the large bed. "But I will never love you."

"See you later darling," he stroked my face with sadness in his eyes. "Don't try to escape."

He walked out of the room and clicked the door's lock closed. Once he left, I cried. Dylan had been a part of my life for so long, I couldn't accept the fact that he was gone.

"I hate him," I clenched my fists and punched the pillows. "I hate him, I hate him!" I had a mini temper tantrum as I sat in the bed, feeling more alone than I had ever felt in my life. When my tear swollen eyes finally closed and I fell asleep, I vowed to never let Nate feel happy around me again.

Nate's POV

Sera was asleep when I finally went back into our room after a meeting about security measures so no one would ever escape from the cells again. Turns out, Dylan had broken out when the guard who was supposed to look after him during the night had left for his mate, who had gone into labor. He had acted weaker than he actually was and escaped. In the end, it didn't matter whatever he had done, he was dead, I thought with a dark smile. He wouldn't bother my mate again.

I stood above Sera and tucked myself in front of her in our bed. I looked down at her sleeping face, and felt a pang of sadness and guilt when I saw that her eyes were puffy because she had been crying. I wrapped my arm around her waist and put my other arm under her head as I tucked her face into my neck. She snuggled into me as I held her close. 

When I was about to fall asleep, I heard an alarm blare through the pack house. Sera mumbled and moved in closer to my chest as the alarm grew louder and louder.

Reluctantly, I pulled away from her and mind linked my beta.

What's happening?

Someone left 5 bodies on the north border and 3 wolves broke through.

Coming. I looked down at my mate, kissed her forehead, and left to see who had tried to attack my pack.
