And Then There Were Four

"Pollux, that isn't for you to decide!" I screamed in frustration.

"It is my right as your brother, and the future Alpha of this pack, Cassie. When are you going to learn that what you want doesn't fucking matter!"

"Go fuck yourself, Pollux. You're just jealous I actually have a mate!" I snapped back, and as I did, he raised his hand to slap me but stopped when a deep, evil growl resonated from Lucas. Lucas was daring him to do it, and Pollux better reconsider.

"Your fucking mutt thinks he's going to do something..." Pollux laughed in an egotistical way as he glanced around the area. I couldn't understand why he was acting like this, and with embarrassment and ever raging hormones, I felt the tears fill my eyes. I refused to let them fall.

"Are you crying?" Pollux gasped with laughter. "You have no one to blame but yourself."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Narrowing my gaze at him, I let a surge of power flow through me. "Shut your fucking mouth."

Pollux seemed concerned for a moment, and then the concern washed away. "What are you going to do, Cassie? Are you going to fucking hurt me like you did before? Maybe it will be one of your other siblings this time instead... you're fucking pathetic, Cassie. Always with the enemy."

"He isn't Marcus, Lux. Don't compare them," I whispered, watching as my brother's eyes softened for a moment before turning hard once more. "You always preach about how mates are so important, and yet you're acting like this? I don't get it."

He had been cruel to me more than once, but I just didn't understand why he would be cruel to me about something like this.

The chaos happening between the three of us had started to draw the attention of others, and as they looked on, I realized if I didn't get control of this, something bad was going to happen. "Lux, you have to stop."

"Don't tell me what to do. I will not listen to a girl who whores herself out to the enemy." His words were triggering Lucas, and I could feel the tension between the three of us growing slowly out of control.

"Look, stop. We need to take the

night to think this over and tomorrow we can... we can do something about it then... just for tonight, Lux... Please." Panicking, watched my brother step forward, ignoring my words, and as looked towards Lucas, he too was standing prepared for whatever my brother had to throw at him.

I didn't understand why Lucas could remain so quiet through this whole conversation, but it was as if he was trying to allow me to handle this without him interjecting, which respected and was slightly shocked by "Don't do this, Lux. It's only going toend badly for the both of us."

"Don't you dare tell me what I should and shouldn't do in my own pack. You're fucking nothing but a goddamn pain in my ass," Lux growled as he clenched his fist at his side, stepping forward.

"I said enough, Lux." I screamed at him as I used my hands to push him back. However, I should have known it would be useless, because in one swoop, he shoved me, tossing me aside to the ground.

A roar unlike anything I had ever heard escaped Lucas' lips, and as I turned to look at him, I watched as the shift came over causing me to realize he too was half-breed.

Natural werewolves were not able to

partially shift. They either shifted

into a wolf or they were human, but here before me, Lucas stood with fangs grotruding over his lips, his eyes completely golden with black swirling masses, and his hands had razor-sharp claws.

Oh, my god. Lucas was a fucking Lycan.
