Chapter 66 - Capturing Mason.

A Few Hours Into The Battle...

Mason's P.O.V.

"How many men have we lost?"

"A lot, at least the majority of our pack"

f**k!!.

"Your highness there's something else you should know"

"What is it?"

I growled wanting him to hurry up and f*****g speak, I need to get back to Nattie.

"It's your brother...he's here"

I stopped in my tracks when I heard what he said.

"Anyone else?"

"Yes sir, his sons are also here"

My face changed from a scowl to a smirk.

"Perfect...it's time to end my brother's reign and start my own"

I was about to head out when the voice of a female stopped me.

There aren't many females in my pack, actually, there's probably only a handful and every single one of them are afraid of me and never speak with this much power and authority in their voice, they're too scared too.

"Not so fast pervy Pete...I wanna talk to you"

I narrow my eyes at the end of the hallway where the silhouette of a woman is seen sitting on the windowsill.

"Who the hell are you?"

She didn't answer at first which pissed off both myself and my wolf, we hate being disrespected especially by the weaker sex.

"That's for me to know and you to find out"

I sighed in annoyance, this girl is seriously irking my nerves.

She jumps down from the windowsill and walks out of the shadows revealing herself to me, she looks very familiar but I can't place where from.

She's very beautiful, maybe I should use my charms on her she won't be able to resist me, no woman can.

"You know there are three things in my life that you really don't wanna mess with, my man, my family and my pack and not necessarily in that order"

She said whilst raising her fingers for each one.

She was walking towards me in such a predatory way that if I wasn't the prince of all supernaturals, I'd probably be crapping my pants right now.

"You've been a bad boy Mason...you've messed with all three of them and now...now you have to pay"

She said with an evil smirk plastered on her face and I couldn't help but laugh at her.

"What's so funny?"

She asks annoyed.

"Y..you are....oh my god, do you really think a little girl like you can take on somebody like me?"

I continued to laugh at her.

I admired her confidence but I couldn't admire her stupidity, she's gotta be out of her f*****g mind if she thinks she can take on somebody like me.

"I'm not a little girl asshole, I'm a woman and unlike my cousin who you've most likely filled up with wolfsbane to make her weaker, I can take you on"

"Oh really?"

"Yes really"

"And how do you plan on doing that little girl?"

I smirked as her face contorted to anger.

"Do you even realise who the hell you're talking too?...I'm prince Mason of all supernaturals, I'm ten times stronger than your average wolf and I've been gifted with many amazing powers...what makes you think a little girl like you can take me on when no man has been able to thus far?"

"Well, there's your mistake Mason...those were men, I'm a woman, a very skilled woman who has the ability to stretch your ballsack over your head and wrap it in a perfect little bow"

"Is that so?"

"Mm-hmm"

She smirks as she starts to walk around me several times, once again in a predatory way.

"You know Mason, I understand why you're so obsessed with Nattie, she's beautiful, she's sexy, she's incredibly strong and not just physically and don't get me started with what that girl can do with a flick of her wrist"

I watched this girl as she continued to circle me whilst perfectly describing my woman to a tee.

"And you know who it was that taught her that, Mason?...it was me...it was this 'little girl' who taught her how to perfectly use her powers just by turning her wrist a certain way"

"And"

I said in a bored tone.

"And you should be worried, you see when Natalia told me about her powers and how she couldn't control a certain one, I stepped in to help her and after a few days of training her she was able to show off her new abilities when Cole pissed her off and just by turning her wrist a certain way and calling for her desired object she was able to crush Coles favourite lamp over his head"

"Good, he deserved it"

"Hmm, I'll agree with you on that, he did deserve it at the time"

I look down at my watch and see that it's been a good few hours since I left Natalia alone, I really need to get back to her before she bleeds to death on my bathroom floor, that'll really f**k up my plans if she does.

"Are we done here? I've gotta go"

"What's the rush? I haven't finished my story"

"Well, hurry up"

I growled thinking she'd cower away or get scared or be panicked, flinch, you know do something to show that she was frightened by the power and authority in my voice but instead, she just smirked at me.

"About a year ago, I was in Russia with my brother Dean and some of our warriors, we were there to infiltrate a pack of misogynistic assholes who didn't believe in soulmates, their piece of shit alpha decreed that it was the law of the pack for men to abuse the women and treat them like slaves as well as using them as whores and punchbags, rape in this pack was an everyday occurrence for the women and eventually they all got used to it, some even died because they were too weak and couldn't take it anymore"

"What's your point?"

She smiled whilst looking me in my eyes, what a gutsy move looking a royal in their eyes, I've never met such a person.

"My point is Mason that just like you, the alpha underestimated me as well...when I walked into his office, he looked at me like I was one of his whores, like I was one of the weak women of his pack, he even called me little girl just like you"

"So, that's exactly what you are...urgh!!"

I groaned when she backhanded me across the face, it hurt like a motherfucker but I wasn't gonna show that to this bitch.

"There's one thing you misogynistic asshole men need to learn and get through your thick heads which is that women these days are stronger than ever, we're not like our ancestors who were taught to be meek, shy, weak women who had to rely on their men to protect them and that's a lesson I happily taught alpha Vladimir when he tried to mess with me"

Alpha Vladimir?.

"You know alpha Vladimir?"

I asked her.

"Knew...I knew him only for about three minutes before I grabbed one of these bad boys and flung it into his eye"

She proudly stated whilst holding up a Chinese throwing star.

"You should've heard the scream that came out of his mouth Mason, he sounded like Zayn Malik when he hits falsetto, that's how high pitched he was"

"So you weakened alpha Vladimir using a weapon?...how pathetic?"

I said with a scoff at the end, this bitch is only strong with a weapon in her hand.

"Is that what you think? that I'm only strong with a weapon in my hand....don't get me wrong, I'm a very skilled woman with every weapon known to man but I didn't kill alpha Vladimir with a weapon...unless you wanna class my hands as weapons"

WHAT THE f**k?.

This girl...this f*****g weak, pathetic girl is the one who tortured and killed alpha Vladimir? nope sorry, I don't believe it, alpha Vladimir is one of the strongest alphas ever and even though he did have a reputation as being a vulgar, abusive, sleazebag, it doesn't take away how strong he is and how no alpha was able to defeat him.

"You're scared...I can sense it and you have every right to be"

She says whilst once again circling me as she grazes the throwing star around my neck which made me gulp, she wasn't putting too much pressure on it but I knew that all she had to do was put just the right amount of pressure on this tiny weapon and she'll be causing me excruciating pain maybe even cause my death if she cuts me in the right spot.

"I'm not scared of you, I'm just bored"

"Really? well then why don't you orb yourself out of here, I know you possess the same power as my cousin, so go ahead...orb"

She said whilst backing up away from me and I smirked.

I f*****g knew it, all women are the same, weak, pathetic and all mouth.

"See you around, little girl"

I attempted to orb but couldn't, what the f**k is going?.

"What's wrong? are you having problems?"

She taunted whilst pretending to look shocked.

"Destiny honey, what have you been told about playing with your prey?"

A male voice asks the little bitch who smirks.

"Oh you know me, I can't help myself, dear brother"

"Brother?"

I whispered in shock.

A silhouette of a man appears at the end of the hallway, he walks towards us and my eyes widened when I saw who it was.

"You...I killed you"

"Actually, you didn't, you incapacitated me for a very long time but now I'm back"

The asshole smirked.

"No, this isn't possible...HOW DID YOU f*****g SURVIVE?"

He once again smirked as he lifted up his shirt showing off a bulletproof vest.

"Urgh!!"

I groaned in both anger and annoyance.

"You're a clever man Mason, you shot me with a bullet that was laced with silver and had wolfsbane mixed in with the gun powder, it's a very lethal combination for us wolves"

"Exactly, so how are you still alive? I watched you go down and bleed out"

Dean came and stood next to his bitch sister placing one of his arms around her shoulders.

"Because my body rejected the bullet and managed to move it so that our amazing pack doctor could perform surgery on me and save me right in the nick of time"

He said all smug but I had a way of knocking that ridiculous smile of his face.

"It's a shame your cousin didn't survive, isn't it? I shot him right in the chest killing him instantl...AAHHHH!!"

Dean shot me in my shoulder.

"That's for Cole"

BANG!!, BANG!!, BANG!!.

"That's for me, Nattie and our pack"

"Take it easy young warrior, we can't have you kill him before we get to have our fun with him"

Urgh!!.

My brother, his sons and a few others make their presence known to me and I groaned in not only annoyance but anger.

"Koa"

"Mason"

My eyes blazed with anger and fury when my older brother stood right in front of me smirking with pride.

"What have you done to me? why can't I move?"

"Oh that, it's just a simple spell my wife was able to put on you to make sure you couldn't move...for future reference Mason don't ever piss off a momma wolf who has got the ability to turn your family jewels into ash"

"Pfft, do you really think I'm scared of Tia?"

"You should be"

A strong and very angry female voice which I recognise as my sister in laws says.

I look over my brother's shoulder and see Tia appear from the shadows looking seriously pissed off as she walks right up to me slapping me hard across the face.

I couldn't hide the pain I was feeling this time because that seriously f*****g hurt.

"You kidnapped my baby and destroyed her life, believe me, Mason, you should be scared of me"

I laughed loudly and heartily as I looked my sister in law in the eye.

"Is that what you think? that I destroyed Natalias life, well you're wrong, I'm making it better, pretty soon we're gonna get married and she'll be bearing my pups and I will be...."

I was interrupted by my brother who burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"You are"

He said calming down and looking at me sternly.

"You can't marry someone who is already married, Mason and you certainly can't impregnate someone who is already pregnant"

"WHAT?"

"You heard me Mason, Natalias pregnant with Coles pups"

I shook my head in disbelief.

"No...no, that's impossible, I would've sensed it"

"Not if she used magic to hide them from you"

Tia said with a proud smirk.

f**k.

That's why she was reading my grimoire, the f*****g bitch.

"I came here for two reasons Mason, the first was to capture you and the second was to get my daughter"

He looked me up and down with a victorious smile.

"We've got you...can anyone confirm if Angelo was able to save Natalia?"

"He didn't but someone did"

"WHAT?"

Both myself and Koa growled as Koa snapped his head towards that little bastard Dalton, I knew I shouldn't have trusted him.

"Don't worry your highness, the person who saved her is a brother of mine...he wouldn't hurt Natalia"

"But I would"

I said with a smirk which only heightened when Koa turned to glare at me.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well before you and your merry band of idiots showed up uninvited to my pack, I had a little chat with Natalia, she got a bit out of hand and I had to calm her down"

Koa continued to glare at me as I smirked.

"What did you do to my daughter, Mason?"

I chuckled as I looked around at everyone, I then looked back at my brother who looked like he was about to lose his rag, not that I blame him.

"I beat her to death"

Several growls and a few gasps were heard as I looked at my brother with a smirk.

"YOU f*****g BASTARD!!"

"AAHHHH!!"

I screamed in pure, unadulterated agony as I felt the burn of silver seep into my bloodstream.

I looked up at my brother who was still holding the sword which is currently jammed through my stomach and back, Koa was looking at me with so many different emotions but none of them were good.

"Y..you'd really k..kill your own b..brother for th..that little bitc...AAHHHH!!, f**k!!"

"If by little bitch you mean my beautiful, precious daughter then yes, I would happily and proudly kill you for her"

"AAHHHH!!"

He twisted the sword in my stomach causing me even more pain.

"But I'm not gonna kill you, Mason, as much as I want too I'm not"

"And why not, Koa?"

He leaned in close to me until were literally nose to nose.

"Because I promised a dear friend of mine that he would have the honours of torturing and killing you and you know me, Mason...I never break my promises"

"AAHHHH!!"

I once again screamed in agony when I felt not only Koa pulling the sword out of my stomach but my body falling to the ground.

"Pick that piece of shit up and let's go, the battle is over"

I felt my body being picked up and dragged which was the last thing I felt before I fell unconscious.

A Few Hours Later...

Natalia's P.O.V.

BEEP!!, BEEP!!, BEEP!!, BEEP!!, BEEP!!.

Urgh!!, that little bastard, why can't someone invent a hospital machine that doesn't make loud, stupid noises?.

I open my eyes and look around the room, I recognised it as the Luna room back at the Dark Shadows pack...I'm home.

"Good evening Luna, it's nice to have you back, how are you feeling?"

"Like shit...excuse my language"

"Child please, curse away"

She said with a chuckle.

"So, what's the damage?"

"Well, you took quite a beating Luna but you and your babies are alright"

"Really?"

I asked whilst lifting my arm up.

The nurse smiled at me whilst looking at my arm which is currently in a cast.

"You should wear that cast like a badge of honour, Luna"

"Oh yer and why's that?"

I asked whilst looking at the rock hard shield on my arm.

"Because if you didn't use that arm to shield your stomach and protect your pups then they wouldn't be alive right now"

"What?"

I look down at my arm in shock.

"Whoever did this to you, my child did so with an enormous amount of force, the blows to your arm caused it to break in several places...imagine what that type of force would do to your unborn babies"

I place my uninjured hand on my stomach and lay back.

I don't think I can imagine what would have happened if I didn't cover my stomach in time.

"Is erm...is there anything else?"

"Other than your arm, the only other injury is to your face, we've ran some tests to make sure there's no trauma to the brain...I'll make sure you get the results as soon as they come back"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome Luna, now rest up ok, you need it"

I smile at her as she leaves the room.

I wasn't left alone for long until there was a knock on the door and in walked a woman who I've never seen before but from the smile on her face and the fact she knew my name, I'm guessing she knows me, wait, have I got amnesia?.

"Hi Natalia, how are you?"

"I'm fine, erm...who are you?"

I ask whilst sitting up.

"Oh my god, I'm such a dunce, I mean Dalton always says that for a smart chick I'm pretty dumb but..."

"Dalton?...you know Dalton?"

She smiles brightly at me.

"Yer, he's my mate"

She's Dalton's mate? wow, he really wasn't lying when he said how beautiful she is.

"Taylor"

I whispered.

"Yer...he told you about me?"

She asks excitedly whilst biting her lower lip.

"Are you kidding me? he wouldn't shut up about you, now I know what other people feel like when Cole talks about...me"

Tears fill my eyes as my chest erupts with pain, I know I have to deal with Coles death so that I can move on but I can't...I don't want too.

"Natalia"

I look up at Taylor who is looking at me concerned.

"I'm fine...I have to be"

"Why because you're Luna?"

"Yer"

"You still need to grieve, Natalia, it's not healthy to hold on to everything even if you are a Luna"

She's right.

"It's a good job I won't be Luna anymore then, isn't it"

"What?...what do you mean?"

Taylor asks confused and I take a deep breath.

"Every pack needs a strong and powerful leader as well as a strong and powerful Luna...Cole's dead and I'm weak and lost without him, I can barely think without his face popping up or his name being there flashing like a big, bright neon light and I..."

I close my eyes and take a deep breath before opening my eyes and looking back at Taylor.

"In three and a half months, I'm gonna be a mother to three pups who have got both alpha and royal genes and I'm gonna have to do it all alone, I can't look after a pack as well"

I take another deep breath whilst trying to control my emotions.

"So, I'm gonna hand the pack over to my brother Angelo so that he and his mate can be alpha and Luna instead"

Taylor lets out a sigh as she sits down next to me on the bed and grabs hold of my hand.

"I think you underestimate how strong you really are, Natalia...look, I know we don't know each other that well and I didn't know Cole but I don't think he'd want this, Nat, the moon goddess made you a Luna for a reason"

"The moon goddess is a big fat fake"

I growled feeling my emotional barrier start to crack.

"She told me that we'd be strong enough to defeat him together and we weren't"

I inadvertently sobbed at the end as tears filled my eyes threatening to break.

"Nat"

Taylor said my name in a very sympathetic tone.

I was fighting myself because I didn't want to cry, I didn't want to grieve, I don't wanna feel but I lost control and I ended up breaking down when the door opened and in walked my parents.

"Baby"

"M..momma...d..daddy"

I broke down in tears as my parents rushed over to me and wrapped their arms around me.

"Daddy he's gone, he's gone, he's gone, he's g..gone"

"I know baby, I'm so sorry"

He said kissing my head.

"Please bring him back to me, d..daddy, I n..need him"

I begged and pleaded as I broke down in my parent's arms.

"I'm sorry baby...I can't"
