Traitor

Dina pov
I look at the sleeping child in my arms, Amber is growing up graceful like Loren. A bitter smile spreads on my lips and tears well my eyes. I'm going to betray my alpha.
The door bursts open and Prince Julian appears, grinning mischievously at his cousin. I give him a warning look not to come closer but the little brat ignores me!
" Prince Julian?" I warn but he won't look at me, his hand curled up in a ball, his big blue eyes wide with mischief, what is he doing now? For a two-year-old, the dragon prince is very energetic and likes running around, he exhausts poor Amber.
" Don't dare Lian," I say again until he untightens his hand and traces a feather on his cousin's face.
" Lian, no," she groans still half asleep.
" Look, I got it from your bird," he grins when Amber finally sits up with a frown that slowly turns to fury, glaring at the young dragon prince.
" Little monster!" Julian's eyes widen when he hears his mother's voice
" I swear If your son has woken my daughter..." I hear my alpha grumble from downstairs, when he hears footsteps, the little prince runs away very fast, banging the door behind him.
" Hey, baby," I wave at my future alpha who still has a scowl on her face, she lies back on the bed and closes her eyes.
My heart aches and I feel a knot tightening in my stomach at the deed am about to do. I get a white cloth that he gave me and put it on her nose just to be sure that she won't work up anytime soon.
My phone buzz and I know it's time, I sigh picking up the baby from her bed. They are having dinner so they won't notice but I have to be fast, miss Aviana is very sensitive when it comes to her and doesn't easily trust anyone around the child but me.
Aviana has so much love to give and the house feels great with her around, Alpha is happy, I see him smile on several occasions than used to. He no longer carries around a dark aura. Now it's different, thanks to madam Ava, she brought color not only in his life but this house too, and the pack, everyone is happier now.
I look at the angel in my arms, the house is heavily guarded but I took weeks studying the guard's shifts so I can get out with no problem. I kiss Amber's forehead, it's almost like she's smiling in her sleep, so unlike her, this girl seldom smiles.
I carefully hold Amber and open the window, there is a tree just next to the room so I jump, I breathe and luckily she does not stir.
I slowly get down, holding both the young one and a bag. My eyes wander to the room where echos of laughter are coming from, Ava is there too, fitting in with the most powerful supernatural in the city, it's like they forget she's not like us, I smile, I do like her, and am sorry, but I won't risk my brother's life, and besides they wouldn't hurt her right?
Flashback
" Derick, Derick, AH, BABY," I moan as he thrust in me like a wild beast, pounding in me very fast.
" give it to me, deeper!" I can feel it coming, a strong sensation all over me, and I curl my toes against the sheets.
Once we orgasm, he kisses my neck before getting off me to sleep on his side.
" That was amazing," I breathed, sex with this man is the best thing that ever happens to me, we met seven months ago at the mall, and as soon as I smelt his intoxicated smile, I knew he was my mate.
When our eyes met in that parking lot, my wolf screamed one word
'mate,' I have been waiting for a mate since I was thirteen years old, and there he was perfectly tall, built, with mesmerizing brown eyes, I died of happiness, all I wanted to do was push him against this car and kiss him crazy, wrap my legs around his torso and mark him for everyone to know he was mine.
" Hello," he waved in my face, I blinked three times before smiling.
" Can I help you?" He asked, gesturing to my hand that was touching the door, stopping him from opening his car.
" Sorry, but is this yours?" I pulled out a handkerchief I know very well wasn't his.
" No, beautiful," my breath got caught up when he spoke, his voice is deep and sexy, and my heart hummed relentlessly. Even though he was human, I marveled at how much I wanted him.
" oh okay, I thought it was yours, am sure it fell out of your pocket," I said awkwardly, fidgeting with my fingers. He sighed, wanting to get in his car, and slowly, I moved away, just when I lost hope of seeing him again, he asked for my phone number and we kept in touch.
" Mum, Daddy?" a small voice at the back of the car snaps me from my thoughts.
" We are going there now princess, alright?" I smile, keeping my eyes on the road. Amber smiles and closes her eyes again, how cute is she? She is the most beautiful girl in the world.
They are looking for her now, and the whole crescent stone city is looking for me, I've been marked as a traitor and there's no going back now, I'm a traitor, traitor
'traitor,' my wolf repeats sadly.
Baby Amber is a Wulfric, one of the most prominent and powerful families in the city, her father is one of the strongest wolves next to king Xavier and Alexander Alarie, and her aunty is queen Luna. Her other aunt, Kat is the Luna to Crest moon pack, the third most powerful clan in the world, while her youngest uncle is alpha to the red moon alpha, a strong alpha with one of the best warriors now, he is gifted with speed and fire. I shake my head with a heartbreaking smile.
Dina you've done it this time, you've screwed up badly. I know for a fact that I'm dead, because of the wrong man, how could the moon goddess choose him as my mate?
He made me fall for him deeply, like a fool, and then is using me to betray my pack, my people.
He works for the man who wants Ava, he knows where she is and will get her back no matter what. Back to hell where she escaped three years ago, and because of me, she will go back there again.
" Am sorry," I whisper as I stop the car at the border.
Mario's men are there, and they will use Amber to lure out Aviana.
I open the car door, and my vision land on my mate who is holding a girl close to him, my heart aches and my throat tightens but I clear my throat, standing tall.
" Where's my brother!" I shout, using my wolf's voice.
" The child," Answers one of the men with him, I cross my arms against my chest, shaking my head.
He chuckles softly, drawing out his gun from his pocket and pointing it at me.
" Whoo, whoo, everyone should calm down," my so-called mate comes in between. I look back at the baby behind me, she is sleeping, her hand on her jaw.
Derick turns to me, holding my shoulders but I growl, moving away from him
" My brother, Derick,"
" He's safe, but for now they are coming, let's get the child and leave," I swallow thickly at the mention of Amber.
" No, I can't,"
" What do you mean you can't, the lord is going to kill your brother! Do you want that?" Whispers my mate.
I love my brother, and for the longest time, it has only been us against the world, I can't let him die but again, I don't want to betray my alpha. I've watched for the longest time how he and Aviana's relationship has grown from a bean to a big tree, she nurtured it carefully, plucking out the thorns and watering it daily, with kindness, compassion, and love, am their biggest supporter, a loyal cheerleader for their relationship. But am stuck, torn between my loyalty to my pack, my alpha, and the brother I love, the one I swore to protect when our parents died.
"James," I cry, holding the bracelet we each have. I don't want to live without him, my brother is my life, my family, one thing I've learned from Wulfric is that family is everything, we make sacrifices for them and we fight for them and do the impossible, family above all.
" No,"
" Are you..." I cut him with my hand, the pack is on lockdown now, so they can not leave once they enter.
I left baby Amber just on side of the border, still inside silver-blue moon lands. I could feel the wall, like an invisible barrier brought up.
" I'll call Aviana, tell her to come here but the girl remains on the other side," I say through grit teeth, as soon those words leave my mouth, he hits me, making me stagger and spit out blood. For a second my vision darkens at the impact of the slap.
" Sir!" Derick interferes, and the brut puts a gun to my head. I look at the huge man in front of me, his eyes are cold. He looks cruel.
" Who are you to tell me what to do, little girl?" He asks, I glare at him.
" Derick, you need to teach your bitch some respect, and tell her who's the boss around here,"
" Sorry sir, she's just anxious about her brother,"
Derick looks at me, silently asking me to agree, I spit the blood and nod.
" Now, you will go in and bring the little girl,"
" I can't, an invisible barrier has been put up," I say quietly, he nods, looking at the phone vibrating in my hands. Aviana has been calling and leaving me messages, she's desperate.
