Thank BG-13 for being such an Awesome Co-Author and check out Something Wrong and We're friends now, aren't we?
Mako's POV
Korra had left me. She didn't want to be with me and I didn't blame her. She said she was leaving because she was protecting everyone but I knew the real reason. I had hurt her. I had hurt her in so many ways that I could have prevented, and then there was Asami. As much as Korra wanted to be mad at her, she couldn't. I had been her best friend's fiancé and she had imprinted on me, drawing me from her.
When she had said those words, when she had decided to leave me, I felt as if my heart was being torn from. I knew she felt the same way, our bond being a two way channel. I didn't even know where she'd gotten the strength to do what she did. An imprinting bond is nearly impossible to fight; impossible to be away from your soul mate...but she had done it.
I was by the beach thinking about this when I got a whiff of a too familiar stench. I growled and turned around narrowing my eyes at the vampire in front of me. The bloodsucker raised his arms as a sign of peace when my body began to shake.
"You don't want to do that," Tahno warned. "I'm here to help you."
"Help me?" I growled. "How can you help me?"
"Don't you want to know what Korra's planning to do?" he asked. "The stupidity she's about to commit?"
I let out a snarl before running towards him, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up where his feet dangled. How dare he insult my mate! I'll rip his head off!
"Korra is going to die if you don't put me down," he managed to choke out.
I looked at him for a long time before putting him down. "What are you talking about?"
"The sacrifice," Tahno explained. "It's happening tonight and your little girlfriend pretty much offered herself up to protect you and her pack," he said. "Amon promised not to hurt you but you and I both know how much his word is worth."
"About as much as yours," I spat. "How do I know this isn't a trap? That you're telling the truth?"
"Because I sent him."
I turned to find Asami walking over to us. My eyes narrowed and I turned away. I didn't want to see her, not after what she had done. "Mako, I know you don't want to see me, much less talk to me but Korra needs you."
"You could have killed my brother," I said. "You left him for dead."
"I know and I'm sorry," she said. "But please you need to help us save Korra. I would do it alone but that damn sire bond doesn't let me. Please," my ex- fiancé begged.
I gave them a sharp nod before pulling out my phone and calling Iroh. I couldn't go alone. He didn't answer and I growled before leaving him a voicemail, briefly explaining the situation. When I finished I followed both the Hybrid and the vampire to the mainland. I had to save Korra. I had to.
Amon's POV
Everything was going as planned. My mother had everything that we needed to begin the ritual. I would finally be able to unlock my werewolf, making me a Hybrid once again. The Alpha was already trapped in a circle of fire, waiting to be sacrificed. I smirked at that. The child was as gullible as she looked. As soon as she was dead, I'd wipe out her pathetic pack, starting with that old wolf, Katara.
I watched the girl sit in the middle of the fire, looking pensive. I chuckled at that, shaking my head. Naïve indeed. I looked at my mother, who was waiting for the rest of the sacrifices to arrive. I would need another wolf, a vampire, a Hybrid, and a Beta. I already had three out of four. I thought about using the Sato girl for the ritual but…thought better of it. She might still be of use to me.
"I don't remember you being on the guest list," I said as I turned to face the Alpha's mate.
The girl stood at this, fear evident in her eyes. If I had to guess, she hadn't told him about what she was about to do. I looked over to both my Hybrid and vampire. I walked over to Tahno, who looked terrified and with good reason. I grabbed him by the neck and dragged him next to the Alpha and snapped his neck, temporarily killing him.
"I'll deal with you later," I told my Hybrid before looking at the Alpha's mate."And why are you here?"
"I'm here to talk," he answered.
"Very well," I replied, walking over to him. "How may I help you...Mako, is it?"
"You don't need to kill Korra," Mako said. "I'll take her place."
I chuckled at that. "I need the blood of the Alpha," I said. "How are you of any use to me?"
"I'm her mate, and as her mate I share the title," the boy insisted.
"So you're the Alpha's knight in shining armor," I said with a smirk. "How cliche."
"Just make the trade."
"Mako, no!" the Alpha shouted.
"It's okay," her mate answered.
"Ready?" I asked. He nodded and I hit the back of his head, making him fall to the ground before throwing an electric net over him. My Hybrid tried helping him but I grabbed her by throat, slamming her to the ground before throwing another net on her. I turned to look at the Alpha, I smirk on my face. "Don't worry," I said. "I have other plans for your little boyfriend. He killed my father, and I think he deserves a much more…dramatic death. As for your best friend…let's just say I like having her around."
"You said you wouldn't hurt them!" she shouted at me. There was a fire in her eyes and she looked like she wanted to tear me to pieces. Like she ever could.
"And you were very stupid to believe that," I answered before looking over at my mother. "Let's begin, shall we?"
