"Your reason for rejecting me is because I'm strong?" I asked incredulously. "I want a mate who needs my protection. But with you? I'm worthless!" "Very well, I, Tamara Morningstar, accept the rejection of David Halter to be his mate," I said without emotion. Although deep in my heart, I feel the pain because he is the man of my dream David didn't seem to like my calmness, so he didn't stop, " Everyone in the pack hated you, Tamara! No one wants you to be their mate!" He exclaimed reason for everyone on the site to look at us. "Enough! It's not my fault I am strong, and you are weak! This is who I am, and I am proud of myself! Anyway, thank you for rejecting me because I don't need a weakling mate like you!" Because of my anger, I lost control and didn't care if everyone heard us. And that led me to leave my pack and go to the strongest on…The Phantom pack!
Tamara POV
"Your scheming in my jurisdiction and detaining my father are things I can forgive you for. However, touching my lady?! That is your most serious blunder!" Jonas exclaimed, which caught me off guard.
Because of Nicolas, I was unaware of what happened during Jonas' fight.
The only visible thing was him at this point... standing in the middle of the hall, his claws dripping with blood.
"Jonas..." I screamed in shock. Seeing him in this state made me want to crumble in fear.
I can't seem to catch a glimpse of Jonas, who always has a charming and tender expression on his face.
The person in front of me now emits a dreadful aura, as if he is a beast waiting to devour the person beside me.
"So it turns out that the rumor about Jonas Hale is true... You are indeed unnerving," Nicolas said, putting me down.
"You! If you're smart, you'll have pleaded your case by now! Jonas is no longer joking around, and he intends to kill you!" I warned Nicolas, but to my surprise, he gripped my waist and smirked, staring at Jonas with mocking eyes.
"Tamara Morningstar gives the impression that you are unfamiliar with me as well. Yes, Jonas Hale is a powerful man, but I believe I am wiser than he is. As long as you're in my possession, your insane brother will not be able to kill me. "Nicolas says this while a sly smile appears on his face.
"What?! You're hiding behind me, aren't you? Are you truly the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, or are you just acting like it?" I couldn't stop myself from mocking Nicolas for what he said. I've dealt with a lot of Alpha in the past. Having said that, I have never met anyone as cowardly as Nicolas, who chooses to conceal himself behind a woman.
Nicolas simply smiled at me and turned to face Jonas, who was approaching us.
"Before you make a rash decision, I must inform you of something concerning Lolita Morningstar and Alfonzo Hale..." Nicolas remarks and puts his arm around my neck.
Jonas came to a complete stop and waited for Nicolas to finish what he was about to say.
"They're now on the edge of the cliff," Nicolas exclaimed, horrified.
"Exactly what do you have planned for our parents?! You took them into the abyss for what reason?!" I screamed in disbelief. I couldn't keep my concern for my mother from showing. Since my father's death, my mother has become more fearful, so I have defended her and taken on the role of protector.
"If my pack does not receive word from me, your parents will be thrown into the abyss. So, Jonas Hale, you make the decision: will you kill me and allow your parents to perish, or... will you allow me to leave with Tamara?!" Nicolas remarks while sniffing the back of my neck.
"You want Tamara, don't you? Do you think you'll be able to subdue her monstrous monster? Remember, that girl in your hand is more dangerous than I am, so think twice, "Jonas responded with a glint in his eyes as he looked at me.
My pupils dilated as I listened to what Jonas was saying at the time. I didn't expect him to concoct a story only to deceive Nicolas, but he did. I would have cursed him and sliced his gullet if I hadn't been thinking about our parents' safety.
My response, however, was more diplomatic: "He's right. We should talk about it in a polite manner. Send a message to your pack and tell them to fetch our parents back," I say to Nicolas as I struggle to free my neck from his grip.
"Really? Do you have a monster inside of you? Then, much better because I enjoy taming beasts!" Nicolas, on the other hand, jumped on Jonas's story.
As a result, I was unable to maintain control over my worry. In contrast, Jonas appeared completely unconcerned, staring at me as if our parents' lives were not in jeopardy.
"Then you plan to have her... Well, then, best of luck to you!" Jonas' wicked grin popped out at me.
"Jonas! Put an end to your foolishness! And you, I'm not pleased with what you're saying! What gives you the impression that I'd want to join you?! You are a coward, and I despise you!" My ability to maintain self-control had been completely depleted. The tiny rope that had been limiting my range has been completely severed. If it hadn't been for my parents, I would have strangled Nicolas.
"Hmm, I warned you that she is a monster, and there's something even more terrifying lurking within her. If you want to see that right now, make her bleed..." The scheming sneer on Jonas's face causes my temper to escalate. I was no longer sure what Jonas was trying to accomplish, but one thing was clear: my range had already reached its maximum.
I noticed that Nicolas was perplexed by Jonas' changes as well. In spite of this, Nicolas attempted to conceal it: believing Jonas to be lying, Nicolas buried his claws in my shoulder while glaring at Jonas as he muttered, "You think I'm joking with you?" My member will call in the next few seconds. It will be the end of your parent's life if I don't answer this phone call!" he exclaims, his voice trembling with excitement.
"How dare you!" I couldn't keep my emotions under control any longer. As was the case the night before, I was filled with great rage. I had no idea my claws had gone into Nicolas' arm, and it hadn't stopped there. I began to transform into my wolf form... Nicolas's eyes widened in surprise, and I could see him backing away.
Then...blankness...
I awoke on the couch as Jonas sat down and stared at me.
"What-" When I remembered our current situation, I was unable to continue my query. Instantaneously, I rose to my feet and took a look around me. We're still at Nicolas' house, but the Blue Moon pack has vanished without a trace.
"Elijah and the others have already picked up aunt Lolita and my father," Jonas states as he gets to his feet and walks toward me. At the same time, his eyes appear to be searching for something.
"How about the Blue Moon pack?" I questioned, taking a step back due to Jonas' proximity, which caused my heart to pound.
