The gliding droplets of sweat force his eyes to squint, his grip around the letter strengthens as he pushes the door allowing it to creak open.

Ahead stood a man of grand stature, demeaning his members with a heart said to be gold. New grey strands pricked through his shaped black beard, his lips partially cracked and sealed from intense thought. His light blue eyes focused on the custom made chandelier dangling above his tidy desk.

''When will these young Alpha's ever learn'' he whispers without a speck of emotion, ''He has asked for our land again?'' His question aimed at a gaping Blake.

''How did you know it was me Alpha?'' He responds obediently while clinging onto the note. Blake had been a deceiver ever since he had lost his mate, though it was quite difficult to comprehend the Alpha being oblivious to it.

''As always, take a seat'' The Alpha instructs, his tone was that of a deep overpowering leader, built over the years. He clearly had aged with no son to inherit his post.

''Alpha Tyler wants our land yet again, says if we continue to ignore his peaceful attempts he will be forced to take action'' Blake states while adjusting to the tension building within.

''Aaahh Tyler'' The Alpha takes the creased note from Blake's hand and tosses it effortlessly on the ground, ''Inform Tyler of a meeting, I'd like to personally question his difficulties being a young leader'' he taunts and turns away from a shocked Blake.

''A mm-eeting?'' Blake stammers dreadfully as his palms begin dampening, ''Yes a meeting, three days from now, you may leave'' the powerful Alpha commands forcing a sense of quivering in Blake.

He exits the silent room and storms out into the forest, ''No no no if he calls a meeting he'd find out I was behind all of this! That Tyler never asked for our land or war! Everything will be over! I'd lose Maya forever!!'' His breath seems short as he falls to the ground panting and sweating drastically.

''Or maybe this is all we need to finally win'' a cunning voice intrudes his outburst, ''You're the cause of it all!! If you hadn't convinced me to claim Maya as my own I would have--''

''You would have been dead by now'' She replies sternly to his wayward comment. ''We need to make this seem more believable'' She paces back and forward with evil at hand, ''There's only one way Blake'' her hand is pushed out and her gaze meets an all too worried Blake.

Her body twirls around the cool sheet soothing her heated body, her mind had been fixed on him, her mate.

She could barely wait for sunrise to awaken her desperate plea to once again see him. She would tell him after all, that her father was the Alpha and that he would speak to his leader for him to switch packs.

Her dreary eyes finally close with a light smile brushing her lips. After a dragged night filled with countless tossing and turning, her eyes flicker open.

''Today'' She whispers and heaves her tired body out of her bed fluffed for the rich. She scurries about her extended room and gapes at a large wooden closet. ''This one!'' Her voice screeches with joy as she pulls out a knee length sleeveless white dress decorated with casual lace, perfect for the harsh summer heat.

A quick shower and a slip of the dress allows more time for her to focus on her silk smooth hair. She carefully settles each natural wave against her porcelain skin, her feet drop down into dainty sandles made to match her summer dress.

''And where are we going?'' Blake pushes open her door, swooning over her heavenly image. ''Me actually'' She giggles, ''To meet Tyler'' a little pink passes by her cheeks with a little sparkle settling in her eyes.

''Oh'' he whispers heartbroken and holds the door open for her leaving body, he inhales the remaining sweet scent and soo trails off after her.
