Chapter 20

The phone call ended, I dropped the phone on the floor. How could that little bastard do this to me, to his Alpha, but even worse his best friend? I was seeing red, Flame was screaming at me to let her out and rip the shit out of those little horrible children. I started to pace, how was I going to do this. What did they want? Why are they doing this, we trusted them more then anything and they have betrayed us. She wanted to let people know, you never mess with a wolves mate.


I didn't want to get my grandmother involved, nor my mother as I have a sense this may be to do with her, but I did know somebody else I could call. She should help me.

I walked over to the phone and dialled the number.

"Hello." She answered.
"It's me, I need to cash in the favour."

Max opened his eyes, slowly and painfully, as though concrete had been poured on them. As his eyes opened he looked around andstarted to see where he was.

A basement, definitely as it was freezing cold, there were chains on his wrists and a dirty pillow under his head, which was odd.

There was only one door, made of steel. This was definitely to hold a werewolf, but would it hold an alpha?

Suddenly, the door opened. In he walked, all high and mighty. Smirking to himself.

"Hello Alpha." Max stared at him, in disgust.
"Hello, Traitor." Jared smirked even more.

"Well yes, I guess I am in a way. But how can you be a traitor to a pack you never really belonged to." He said. His face wasn't changing emotion, it was like he'd lost it all.

Max looked around, Jared is that daranged he would have missed something.

"Is this the bit where you tell me why you did it and what is going to happen." Jared looked at him.

"Yes, so get comfy."

Jared slowly walked around the room, he was eyeing up his Alpha, well former Alpha. The one he despised, who kept his family from power for so many years.

He sat in the corner of the room, Max's eyes never leaving his.

"My grandparents planned to kidnap the Queen, the most powerful wolf in the world to show our power. So they became butler's, gardeners, maids to try and get close to her. But it was too difficult, she was too heavily guarded, but the two people who weren't were her children."

Max knew where this was going, and he didn't like it one bit.

"They were in a room, down a completely separate corridor from her. So they switched tactic, let them destroy each other. So they planned to kidnap both kids. They managed it with the girl easily, just some chloroform on a cloth, pretty cliche. But the nanny was in the boys room, tidying before he went to bed and his mother was with him. So they left, just with the girl."

Max couldn't believe his best friend for all this time was the one who traumatised his girlfriend and her family.

"But the idiots were meant to kill her, she was meant to die and the last of the gold wolves would have perished. But they didn't, she was adopted and bred another disgusting creature." Jareds eyes were wild, this guy was deranged.

Max looked at him, so he's a sadist. How could he not know.

"But it's okay." Jared smiled "she's on her way and I can finish what my grandparents started. I can get rid of the chance that gold wolves can ever breed again."

So this was his plan, he wants to get rid of this species. There must be another reason other then the fact they are gold.

Then it clicked.

"You think you're entitled to the throne don't you, but you can only be on the throne if you're a gold wolf. The Queen is, her daughter is and my mate is. And you want it, don't you." Max said, Jared looked at him. Then smirked.

"You are one smart wolf." He said. Then laughed.

"And because of you, she's on her way." Then he walked out laughing.

'He's very stupid isn't he.' Dark said. What Jared had forgotten is that mates have a secret passage way in the brain that means they can talk to each other. How deranged is this guy?

Max listened out, he was upstairs, wanting to come down again, Max had to be quick.

'Bring backup. He's crazy' He sent her. He needs help, he can't do this on his own so he hopes his mate will realise this and bring herself some people to help.

'On my way, hold tight.' She said back, then the line closed. Your face changes when its open so she closed it just as Jared came in.

"You've got 90 minutes to live. Even if she comes and drops the money, she will die here. And so will you.'
