Jason's POV

　　We waited three whole hours for Angel to arrive at the waterfall and nothing. The sun would soon be setting, so We headed back to camp. Angel was turning eighteen tomorrow so we was running out of time. I had sent Wayne deeper into the packs territory to see if he could catch her scent and find her. Eventually I received a mind link with directions to a home on the edge of moonlight packs territory. Nicks scent was everywhere confirming that the three of them did in fact live here. Following Wayne's directions I arrived at a small cottage style home, it had a  white picket fence and pink roses pretty much everywhere. The cottage was no where near as lavish as the palace they had once called home. They really went all out to hide so I suppose the downscale in luxury was the point helping them blend in, and I'm guessing all the roses were their way of remembering Vanessa.

　　"How are you planning on taking her? I'm pretty sure that Nick and Marie wont just give her up"

　　"Well Wayne I found out that Nicks has been scheduled to work until lunch time tomorrow and Marie is going to be setting up Angels birthday party in the community center"

　　"Ok so she will be alone but still how are you going to do it? If she's half as powerful as Elder Tom suggests you are not going to succeed"

　　"I have it handled. Do not worry yourself just yet over the little details, for all will be revealed when we get back to camp"

　　I had it all planned out I would wait for them to leave and while Angel was sleeping I will inject her with wolfsbane and a small amount of liquidized silver so her wolf can't come forward , leaving her fragile and easier to subdue. The silver wouldn't kill her but it would be painful and would keep her from using any strength, I wasn't taking any chances. No doubt Nick and Marie had trained Angel, her mother was a damn good warrior so was Marie. There is no way they were going to leave Angel defenceless.　　　　 

The journey back to camp was silent as I went over and over the plan in my head, making sure I had everything worked out so nothing could go wrong. We had stayed at the cottage for a couple of hours scouting out an escape route. It needed to be the least like an obstacle course as we would be carrying an unconscious Angel but it also had to be the least obvious route. By the time we reached the camp I had gone over the plan enough times to be confident it would be successful. I shared the details with the pack members I had brought with me from the royal pack making sure that they each understood what they needed to do. I also made sure that they knew if they crossed me I would end their lives without blinking. I may not have the strength of an alpha as of yet but I still had beta blood making me stronger then them.

　　"Remember that we have to do the ceremony tomorrow. We need to be with the elder before the moon reaches its apex"

　　"Blake I am well aware of what is needed. I do not want to wait another month either let alone keep her around that long"

　　My wolf was on edge, we was so close to finally getting what we wanted after sixteen years of waiting. The ceremony needed to take place under a full moon and being as Angel is an alphas heir she also happened to be born on one. There was only one chance this month so if we failed I would have to keep Angel weak and locked up for a whole month until the next full moon. We didn't want to do that as it would be incredibly risky. There would be a chance that she could escape or even be found, disappearing and maybe never being found again. I was not willing to let either of these scenarios happen!

　　-   Jakes POV

　　I had woken up early there was so much I needed to do in preparation for Angels arrival. I had already received a message from Angels aunt Marie reminding me of her birthday party tonight. Like I needed reminding I was looking forward to it. Finally I would claim Angel as mine as my packs Luna, I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face at the thought of it. Jesus what has happened to me. I had once been completely opposed to accepting a mate and now those thoughts were gone. As alpha I was obligated to attend a wolves eighteenth birthday party as a sign of respect the family but not this time. This time I actually wanted to go. It was being held at the packs community center so I had told Marie to spare no expense decorating and to invoice me the bill.

　　Checking the time on the Rolex that sat on my wrist I headed down to the dinning room to meet up with Benson and Alice for breakfast. When I arrived the dinning room was empty all except for Mrs Roberts. Mrs Roberts was a kind older lady, her family had worked in the kitchen of the pack house for as long as I can remember. Her husband had been a pack warrior and had died when my dad was alpha during a rogue attack.

　　"Good morning Alpha Jake, breakfast wont be long but can I get you a tea or coffee perhaps?"

　　"That's ok just a coffee please Mrs Roberts"

　　"Always with the 'MRS', how many times have I told you, please just call me Rita" she said with a smile.

　　"Only a thousand 'Rita'" I applied with a chuckle

　　As Mrs Roberts went to make the coffee Crystal entered the dinning room, by the looks of it she had just finished training. Hoping she would ignore me I scrolled through the internet on my phone looking for a gift for Angel. Well I was wrong. She came and sat opposite me even though she knew this table was reserved for ranked pack members, still I continued to ignore her.

　　"Morning Alpha"

　　"Do you want something or are you here to disturb my peaceful morning?"

　　"Oh silly Alpha, I only wanted to see if you was going to be busy tonight. I thought we could ya know.... catch up" She said whilst fluttering her eyelashes.

　　"F*ck off Crystal I told you already I'm not interested" I sai with an agrivated sigh.

　　"But we had fun together didn't we? Come on Jakey let me help you unwind"

　　My god her voice was more squeaky than normal, desperation laced in her voice. What the actual f*ck was I thinking to have gone near her in the first place. I had heard rumors from other pack members that she became clingy after sleeping with them but I figured she would just submit and leave when I was through with her. The way she said my name made me feel physically sick, I only wanted Angel to say my name that way. My eyes went black as I  grabbed her by the throat dragging her across the table and throwing her to the ground.

　　"For the last time its ALPHA JAKE" I roared in my alpha tone making Crystal flinch.

　　"I have a mate and I want you to leave me alone"

　　"If you had a mate then she would be here with you now. YOUR NOT EVEN MARKED" She screeched.

　　How dare this disrespectful bitch shout at me.

　　"She's not here because she only turned eighteen today. She will be here tonight and you will not come near either of us. If you so much as show an ounce of disrespect towards her when she arrives I mean it Crystal you will not live to see your next birthday. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!"

　　With that she got up and stormed off bumping into Alice and earning a growl from her as she left. Alice was like a sister to me and I would always have her back. As they took their seats at the table other pack members began entering the dinning room taking their seats while waiting for the breakfast table to open. Mrs Roberts arrived with my coffee announcing to everyone that the food table was now ready. As we ate breakfast I  told Benson and Alice  about my meeting with Angel last night and the decision I had made.

　　"Well I'm happy for you man, glad you came too your senses" he chuckled

　　"I cannot wait to meet her. It's going to be nice to actually have a girl to hang with" Alice chimed in.

　　"When does Sid get back, I believe that he will be excited to finally be able to do his given job and stop lazing around"

　　"He will be back this afternoon and damn right he actually thanked the moon goddess" I chuckled.

　　I had a busy day ahead of me but when my beautiful mate is finally here it would all be worth it.

　　-Angel's POV

　　Everything was dark when I opened my eyes, my limbs felt so heavy that I struggled to lift them. What the hell was going on, I had a bag over my head I knew that much. I tried to reach out to Star but nothing, it was then that I felt the irritable sting of cuffs on my wrists. These had to be silver. That was why I couldn't reach my wolf, the contact of silver would have put her into a deep sleep. Without my wolf I was essentially human, unable to shift and without my strength I knew I was in trouble.  After calming myself I was able to tell that I was in a moving vehicle and I could hear the voices of about three men.

　　After what seemed like forever we finally stopped. I was carried out of the vehicle and placed gently on the ground. Loud footsteps approached stopping just in front of me. One of the men called him alpha Jason, I had heard that name before. This was the man that took my parents from me. As he took the bag off my head I glared at him with nothing but hate in my eyes. As I took in the site of him I began to size him up. He wasn't much bigger than Uncle Nick yet he was smaller than Jake, if I could find a way to remove these cuffs I could easily take him.

　　"Happy Birthday Angel, how nice too see you again" he smirked.

　　"Skip the pleasantries, I know who you are. You think yourself an alpha yet your nothing but a traitor and a coward. Isn't that right Jason" my voice full of venom.

　　"HAHAHA you think you know me, how clever you must think you are. Do you know why I have come for you Angel"

　　"To kill me?"

　　"If I have to yes. But first I have a ceremony that needs to be conducted tonight. You will transfer me your alpha power making me a true alpha."

　　"What alpha power, I don't have it. I need to be crowned in order to gain it, Uncle Nick told me how it works. But because of royal law I need to me marked by my mate before I can be crowned."

　　"Yes I know how it works which is why you will take me tonight as your chosen mate!"

　　"I have a mate, I will never complete the process with anyone other then him!" i snarled in response.

　　"Oh little princess you think you actually have a choice. Once we mate he wont want you. Alphas like to take a pure luna not a disgraced one" he chuckled.

　　Now I was scared, without Star I wouldn't be able to stop him from forcing himself on me. I had saved myself for my fated mate and it looked like he was going to take that away from me. Before I could respond another man appeared next to me sticking a needle into my neck. The worried look on another mans face in the corner was the last thing I saw before everything around me went black.
