Chapter14

Evan decided it was his time to speak, looking at Gabriel with anger shining in his almost white- silver eyes. However his voice when he spoke, was cold and emotionless. It made Rhia's head hurt to hear it. "Where is this lady Sena? "

"At our home on lock down. She is dying, we don't want people to see her and remember her that way." Gabriel spat disdainfully. Evan and Rhia were not fooled neither were the royal Lycans. Rhiannon looked to Evan and nodded almost imperceptibly. "Where is your home, my sister and I will help your mate to live. We, together can heal anything short of death." Evan spoke knowing Gabriel would react badly. The lycan growled and sad in a snarling voice,

"You'll not come near my home or my family, dirty bloodsucker." Evan smiled coldly.

"You lose tact with words when I get to close to what you want no-one to know. Now , may I ask how, if your mate still lives, are you going to take Car- Lady Lucian to mate?" he caught himself before he called her Carmen, distancing him self from her as anything but an ally. One forbidden love had been exposed today no need for another. Gabriel smiled wickedly and said,

"I have a statement here," he pulled a piece of parchment from his coat, handing it to Blake. "that says she releases me as her mate for the reason of her imminent death." …

"That says she releases me as her mate for the reason of her imminent death." Those words replayed over and over in Carmen's mind. She looked over as he handed Blake through the corner of eye. She watched as her brother unrolled the scroll, Carmen turned and walked to stand between Rhiannon and Blake who stood in front of Gabriel. She looked into his soul and saw the blackness that blanketed his heart to the very core.

"He's right, its written here in black and white. She is no longer Gabriel's mate and is clearly dieing." Blake said unhappily, out of no where her father appeared taking the scroll from Blake scanning over the document.

"Of course its true, it was the way things were meant to be it just took me longer to realize." Gabriel said, Carmen could tell over the

showing no expression. No matter how badly she wished to tear out his insides, and feed it to the dungeon wolves. Carmen heard a warning hiss coming from Evan and Rhiannon, she quickly placed her hands over there's telling them to do nothing. She kept her eyes locked on Gabriel as he slowly looked at both of them through the corner of his eye, before looking back at her to a devilish smile forming on his face. "I'm sorry Carmen, for all these years of causing you pain. But I've come to make it right, to make you my wife as I should have all those years ago." He said softly, moving his face closing to Carmen as if he was going to kiss her finalizing the agreement.

"Your right Gabriel, you should be sorry." Carmen growled harshly, quickly grabbing a hold of his evening coat and tossing him over her. Carmen watched with

letting out the anger they had held within their mind out, jumping on Gabriel attack him. Immediately her father began braking orders telling the guards to calm the pack at once. "You better go home, celebrations over." Carmen said to Evan and Rhiannon, afterwards quickly turning around and heading for the stairs letting her hair out of its braid loosening the front of her corset, pulling the blade she had placed inside her gown. Carmen stopped at the top of the stairs looking down at the pack being held back, as Bell son appeared helping Gabriel up as best she could even with her belly so round. Carmen had seen that Evan and Rhiannon had not heed her request to leave, but she did not care.

"Carmen, you spoiled bitch how can you do that to your mate." Bella snapped at her, Carmen growled before throwing her head back and howling to the moon. The rest of the pack rose up their voices as well.

Gabriel let out a cry of pain, seconds after the blade went straight between his shoulder and the angle to where his heart was located. Carmen quickly began to see dark rays of light surround her body, making her to aware of the power she was releasing knowing she must control the anger, hatred, as well as her desire to kill not just him but all those who cause pain to those around her. Carmen looked down at Rhiannon who was looking right at her, and wondered if she had felt this rage when she saw Ian after so many years.

"SILENCE!!" Her father bellowed out, silencing the pack; his voice zoomed throughout the manor causing everyone to fall back.

"Bella, you are banished from the pack within these regions even the red coat pack; for your disrespect and dishonesty toward not only your pack but your own bloodline. Your daughters will

this, and its final." Carmen stated harshly before turning around and headed for her room hoping to sleep this off.

"CARMEN!!" She heard Blake cry out, She stopped in her tracks; turning slightly looking down at him.

"What?" Carmen snapped,

"You must calm yourself, Your power is to great; look at yourself." He said, Carmen looked into the closet mirror not very pleased to see what she saw. A large black, and red mist surrounded her, her eyes were pure black. Hair blowing in the strong wind forming around her. Fangs long and sharp, with claws at full length. She looked at herself for a moment longer, before turning quickly walking down the halls to her rooms. Carmen ran into her room, slamming the door hard and then turning to lean against it.
