Chairs and furniture were broken in half while hundred year old paintings had claw marks across the canvas.
Anything he could get his hands on was strewn across the room with force, while loud roars and profanities escaped his mouth as his canines elongated. The Alpha King was enraged and anyone who stood in his way would pay.
Ash, his Beta and second in command stood by the doorway watching his King and best friend destroy the sitting room. This wasn't the first time he has watched him this angry, it's that this time around he was watching a different type of rage emerging from his friend...Blaze was in full control which was never a good thing and he knew that once out, it will be very hard to contain him.
He has been on a rampage for a good hour and if he didn't calm down the whole palace would be in shambles.
"My King...I know you are pissed off...but I would suggest that you calm down before..." Ash began to say until Blaze let out a roaring growl.
"Pissed!? Pissed?! You think that I am pissed off...pissed is not what I am Ash...I am enraged to the point that I will slaughter the whole country side if I don't get her back...NOW!!" he growled thunderously making the walls shake.
His breathing was heavy, his eyes were black as a starless night and his deep, dark voice almost sent Ash, one of the King's strongest men in his court, running to the corner with his tail between his legs.
"The guards are searching for her now, it shouldn't take that long for her to be found." Ash tells him, hoping that that would ease his friend's mind.
Blaze turned to face him slowly and menacing. "You better hope that they find her...if not...I will kill every single guard who failed to find what is MINE!" he bellowed.
Nodding and bowing his head at his King, Ash turned on his heels and left the room before he paid dearly.
Blaze growled again picking up a side table throwing it across the room hitting the stone chimney. The wood split in pieces because of the force landing around the floor.
Breathing in and out to try to calm himself down Blaze can hear Kaden speak. "If you don't calm down you won't be able to find her...and when we do, I don't want you accidentally killing her."
"You think I will kill our Mate? Are you serious right now? We've waited years to find her and you think that I will loose control to the point that I would kill our Queen?" he seethed throwing a glass vase shattering in small pieces once it hit the wall.
"You've done it before...now, calm the f**k down so I could find her and bring her back." Kaden yelled.
Blaze didn't respond giving Kaden control. Rotating his neck in slow circular motions he let it crack to relax his stressed muscles.
Looking around the destroyed room Kaden sighed deeply. "Once I find you...you will be lucky if I let you see the light of day...my beautiful Queen." walking over to the wet bar that Blaze hadn't touched, Kaden picked up a bottle of Scotch and glass, pouring it half way then downing it in one gulp. Letting the golden liquid burn his throat he slammed the glass down on the bar.
"...my King! We've found her." hearing his General say through mind-link.
"Where?" he asked heading towards the door.
"The Wolfscastle Country Inn at the end of town." responding quickly.
"How many guards are surrounding the Inn?"
"Ten my King. Do you want me to go in and take her out?" he asked.
"No.One.Touches.Her.Except.Me." Kaden gritted. The thought of any male touching his Mate had him seeing red. "Stay put until I get there...make sure she doesn't leave."
"...and if she tries?"
"...then make your presence known and scare her so she stays." he snapped as he made his way outside to the awaiting SUV.
"Yes my King."
Cutting the mind-link, Kaden gets in the car with his Beta in the driver's side waiting for his King's instructions.
"Wolfscastle Country Inn...now." he snaps not looking at him as he settled in the seat next to him.
Nodding his head, Ash started the ignition then drove down the long driveway to head to the Inn so his King can take back his Queen.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Catalina was back at the Inn she was staying in. After her unfortunate run in with the Alpha King the day before she knew she had to get away. She knew about the Werewolf/Lycan kind since she was a child. Her grandfather would tell her stories about their world and how they lived especially about having Mates. She had found it so majestically astounding that werewolves had one person made just for them...a Soul Mate that they will love for the rest of their lives. So when the naked man called her Mate then took her to his castle to be his Queen...she knew she had to escape.
**After putting her over his broad shoulders, Kaden walked back to his castle which took about half an hour. Catalina against her will knew that once there he would not let her go, he had chased her in his beast form then pounced on her so she wouldn't get away. The minute she had opened her eyes and saw his steel gray ones, she felt her world stop, it was as if he could see through her soul, seeing her whole future with him.
Once he had touched her cheeks she knew...she was the naked man's Mate. The shocks that she had felt made her realize that the stories her grandfather had told her where true...so she began to panic.
Is not that she didn't believe in love, she knew that what her and her now known "Mate" had wasn't love but just a connection that was picked for the both of them...it's just she was in love with someone else, or at least she thought she was.
The whole reason for her being in England was so she could clear her mind from her troubles back home in the United States. More of decisions she had to make...and now running into a werewolf stating that they were Mates? Well, that complicated everything.
"Where are you taking me?" she had asked him since he hadn't said anything to her while walking. She didn't even know his name.
"I am taking you where you belong." he flatly tells her.
"Charming..." she tells herself rolling her eyes. She could tell he wasn't talkative...or friendly.
"...and where is that?" she asked in the hopes of him telling her what was to happen.
"...with me."
Furrowing her eyebrows she sighed. "You said that...since we are Mates and all. I just wanted to know where being with you is."
Kaden stopped walking. Setting her down in front of him she stumbled a bit forward. Feeling dizzy from him holding her upside down she felt the blood rush back through her body.
Holding her in place she moved away from him quickly. The shocks had gone through her body and she didn't want to feel them.
He frowned as he watched her rubbing her arms up and down, like if she was trying to wipe away his touch...as if his touch disgusted her.
Watching her carefully he asked. "You know about our kind?"
Glancing up at him she shrugged her shoulders. "Everyone knows of your kind. My grandfather has told me a lot about your kind when I was a child...how you are able to change, your speed and strengths, Alphas, Packs and...Mates..." she trailed off.
Cocking his brow he stared at her. She was a knowledgeable human and didn't seem afraid of him...yet.
"So you know..."
"...that we are Mates? I assumed since you are not letting me go back to the Inn."
Kaden nodded his head yes. In a way he was glad his Mate knew about his kind, he didn't have to deal with an overly irrational human Mate that had no idea what was going on. He couldn't handle having to rationalize what he was and how Mates worked. He just didn't want to deal with the emotional side of a female period.
They stood in an awkward silence for a minute. Kaden watched her as she looked around. He thought she was nervous but in actuality she was trying to survey the area so when she had the opportunity...she would run.**
When she had rushed inside the Inn, she automatically went to the front desk to ring the bell that would call the Inn keeper.
Tapping the bell about ten times, she sees Mrs. Wood coming out of the back office in a hurry.
"Ms. Luna. Is everything alright? Are you just coming in?" she asked concern in her eyes.
Nodding her head she replied. "Yes...I...I was taken."
"Taken?" the elderly woman asked surprised placing her hand on her chest.
"Yes...and they are chasing me...he isn't going to stop until he finds me...I...I can't be there...I just can't be his." Catalina quickly tells her.
"Who is he dear?" Mrs. Wood asks going around the desk then placing her arm around Catalina's shoulders walking her over to the sitting area of the Inn.
"...my Mate...he found me and now...he will never let me go back home. I can't stay here. I need to leave..."
Mrs. Wood looked taken back. She realized what the young lady was talking about and in her heart she felt bad for her...for she knew too well what she was going through.
"Oh my dear. I understand." patting Catalina's back.
"You do?"
"Yes dear...you see, my late husband was a wolf until he passed away years ago...my soul mate. I'm human like you so when he found me, I had no idea what it entailed to be Mated with a werewolf..." she smiled as if she was remembering the memories.
"What did you do?" Catalina asked curiously.
Mrs. Wood laughed. "I did what you did...I ran like a bat out of hell...until he found me and made me realize that we couldn't be away from each other...so I gave in and we were happy together for over fifty years."
Catalina stared at the woman then sighed. "I don't want to be with him...I need to go back home to the States and do what I have to do...I want to live my life like I'm supposed too...free."
The older woman took a deep breath. "Alright dear...why don't I get us some tea and we can discuss how you will escape."
"Thank you." Catalina tells her as she wraps herself in the blanket that was next to her.
A good fifteen minutes passed. Catalina had dozed off on the couch and Mrs. Wood was making her way back with a tray of tea and tea sandwiches.
Setting the tray on the table Catalina opened her eyes and sat up as Mrs. Wood went to hand her the tea cup.
"Thank you." she tells her with a faint smile.
"No problem dear. So who is this Mate of yours?" the woman asked since Catalina hadn't told her.
Picking up the tea cup Catalina blurts out. "King Kaden Hendry..." and at the mention of his name, Mrs. Wood dropped the ceramic tea cup on the hard wood floor shattering it in tiny pieces.
