1 Prologue

Saturday afternoon, great time for hunting sweet meat for the pack except the dark clouds loooming over them was putting their spirit slightly down. Surely the animal they are hunting right now are looking for a spot to hide from the weather but it didn's push them to back away as they are very dedicated in achieveing that one goal today.

Caden Laroux brought along his four pack members alongside his beta, Chris Durant to hunt for the biggest, juiciest deer they can find in the forest. A celebration was to be held today for the birth of a new member of the pack. Daryl and his wife, Ivanna welcomed a beautiful baby girl three days ago and today, they are having a party for his pack. The Lithia Moon pack which is the biggest wolf pack in North America

Feared by all for their superior warriors and shifters made Caden a proud alpha. It was a long process to make their pack that famous or strong since the death of his father many years ago. A cruel man hated by the pack members and wolf everywhere for his vicious method of leading the pack and treatment towards his people.

Always trying to declare war among every wolf pack that passes by and with how his sanity was depleting ever so slowy, Caden has no choice but to fight him for the alpha position and easliy won it through strategic figthing since his father is always wild and can't seem to think logically.

Killing his own father was never a choice he take lightly or happy for but it was important to keep the peace within his pack and a sacrifise was the only thing he was able to do. He wasn't always a bad man though, starting from the death of his friend, Robert and his wife Claire after an accident, his father was never teh same man.

Raised in the system as a kid being orphan, both survived foster care and with Robert being human, it was never a problem between them. They have bonds greater than any family they knew. His tragic death especially with how their only daughter, Emmaline Grace too didn't survive the accident affects them all. It affected him for Emmaline was his mate.

He knew this as a child for his wolf, a 300 pound worth of muscles had told him that Emmaline was his mate. He knew her young and now that she was gone, he was a mateless wolf. Mateless alpha which is a problem on who will take his place one day.

In his wolf form, Caden with his pack hides between the bushes as they are gazing gazing every single inch of the forest to find any animals to hunt. Near them was a river flowing rapidly and there was a huge dear with crazy antlers, obvioulsy a male was drinking without any care in the world.

Before he could storm his way there, a body was slam to him causing his wolf to growl loudly and his pack ready to attack whatever had tried to hurt their alpha. sadly, the deer ran too after being spook from the loud crash.

Shaking his head trying to get his focus clear, he turn to the creature that had slammed into him and his eyes widen. Quickly he growl to his pack member to shift back and so did he, revealing a six foot man with dark brown hair and misty green eyes. His sculpted body has dirt, leaves and specks of grass sticking to it. His huge figure shadowed everyone around him though they are well built themselves.

Caden take his pants hanging at the tree branch nearby and quickly approach the wounded man laying on the forest ground with blood still pouring form his left shoulder. Chris came closer to check on him and turns to Caden.

"It's silver. He was stabbed. The wound is taking time to heal."

"Jesus! What happen to you, Frank? Where's Aiden? You were with him."

Frank was panting uncontrollably. Even though he was obviously drowning in pain, he move his head to stare at his alpha, "He's gone. He..He..s..taken."

Caden took his clothes from the tree and the rolled up cloth was placed on his wound. He pressed it down and order his other pack member to call for help.

"Taken where? Who take him? Stay up for me, Frank!Where?"

"Alex. Alex's vampires have him."

Caden Caden brush his face in frustration. He sigh, feeling agitated and obviously angry at what he had said.

"What the f*ck, man. What did you guys do?"

"Frank starts to cough but continues to answer him, "Aiden and I was hunting too. Heard the buck there was good. Didn't heard they coming..Tried to fight them..too many.. weak. you got to help him."

Caden growled angrily. His raging tone made eveyone around him shook, "What the fuck were you thinking? You are not suppose to go to their border! You trying to get yourself killed? That's it?"

Caden voice overtaken by his wolf howling, causing the wolf around him whine in fear. Their alpha was angry and he has a good reason to be. Few miles from the pack ground is a mansion filled with coven of vampires. Powerful vampires and the old enemy of his pack. Stepping on their ground or even be near to them was strictly forbidden but Aisen being the young wolf he was is acting oh so stupid.

Not only he has put himself in danger, it made Caden in more danger because as alpha, it was his duty to save a pack member in danger.

"Alright then. Elijah, Trent, you bring Frank to the pack house now. Make sure his wound are treated and do whatever you can or need for that. You got to bring him to the hospital, sure. Luna Adele will give you all the papers you need. Chris, Joshua, you both are with me. We're going to bring Aidne's home."

"But what if he's dead? You sure the vampire's are still keeping him alive?"

"I don't know. We have to check. Even if he's dead, we still need his body back. No pack members will be left behind. Let's go."
