Third Person POV

"Alpha" I looked up to see Charles looking at me at from the door. "Yes Charles?" I glanced back down at the plans of taking over a small pack close to the Rouge Territory. "You have a visitor Alpha. She is at the border waiting for you." Charles looked annoyed to say the least. I looked back down at my plans while I spoke. "Have her safely escorted here to my office. I have a feeling I know who she is." Looking back to Charles, he nodded to me, "Yes Alpha, I will have her here shortly." With that he left going to bring me the woman at the border. I have a feeling it will be the witch Cleo. I sighed at the thought of what she could possibly want.

Soon she was waltzing through my office door with a sickeningly sweet smile on. "She is definitely up to something." My wolf Hades said back to me. He hated her but she was good in the sack so what can I say. I nodded my head mentally agreeing with Hades. "Gideon, you look just as handsome as the last time we were together." Her eyes slowly racking themselves over me while she continued. "When I am done talking, we should hook up for old times' sake." She winked at me and finally took the seat in front of my desk. "What do you want Cleo?" I wanted to get to the point she was already getting on my nerves interrupting my planning for the upcoming takeover. "Oh come on Gideon, don’t be like that. I have come here for both of us, not just myself. I am sure you will want to help once I have finished." Cleo was standing up again leaning over my desk with her breast pushed out in my face. s*x was all she had to use as leverage and she was using it. Cleo was a very attractive woman. She had pale skin almost like porcelain, long fiery red hair that stopped just above her butt.  Her emerald green eyes brought everything together, along with her curvaceous body. She was quite the looker. I might be tempted to take her up on her offer after this talk.

"Like I said Cleo, what do you want?" I was done with her stalling, damn witches never get to the point. "Fine!" she huffed as she sat back down in front of me. "Do you remember when we first met?" she had her eyebrow raised as if expecting that I wouldn't remember. "Yes I remember. I had come to you to see if I could get my soul back." She smiled at me, "Yes you did, and once again I am sorry I couldn’t help with that." "No need to apologize I am the only one to blame. So what does that have to do with what you have come to tell me?" I am sure I had an annoyed look on my face. She was still stalling, witches love to tell stories before getting to the true point. "Well I didn’t tell you why I couldn’t help you." This was true she never said why she only said she couldn't. I searched for a long time but no one could help me redeem myself. "Well stop stalling and tell me!." I was more annoyed than I few moments ago. "Ok just calm down." she readjusted herself and began. "You see when I asked you what happened for you to have lost your soul, you told me you had done something unforgivable. You told me you killed your mate. What I ended up getting out of your memories is what made me realize I couldn’t save you. You see you had a dream the day before you killed her. Do you remember this dream?" She looked at me expecting me to say something but to be honest all I remembered was a man speaking to me but not what was said. Just his figure standing in darkness, not like he was hidden in it but more like he was the darkness. "I remember speaking to a man covered by darkness, but I don’t remember what he told me." I told her truthfully. I have been wondering what made me do what I did. Anytime I feel that way, those thoughts are pushed away with the overpowering thoughts that she was in our way. She made us weak and she had to be eliminated.

"Well the man you spoke to is the God of Darkness and his name is Ravannah. You weren't supposed to fall to his side but he offered you power so you took it. He offered you the power to be the strongest and most powerful werewolf and all you had to do was kill your mate. Ravannah would summon you when the time comes to fulfill his end of the bargain." She looked at me closely as I took in the information she had said. I remember him saying my mate wasn’t strong enough to stand by my side and she would be my downfall. She was an omega by birth and abused by her father, I should have been her savior but in just 5 years I snuffed her out for the power this man had offered. I looked to her to continue and she obliged. "When you came to me to redeem yourself, you barley had a memory of why you killed her, but once I went into your mind and saw that it was Ravannah who came to you. I knew that no one not even a Goddess could fix this. Ravannah had you change loyalties by temptation of power. In taking up his offer you officially renounced your ties to the Moon Goddess and the Goddess of Light and in doing so you sold him your soul. When you die you will cross over into Ravannah's hell dimension and be his slave for all eternity. Had your wolf not gone along with it, I could've been able to get it back from him, but Hades is the one who gave the final blow when his human couldn’t finish the job. All in all you are forever bound to the God of Darkness and he has sent me to help fulfill his end of the bargain."

I couldn’t believe what she said my head was still wrapping around the fact that this man tricked me. I had grown up only hearing the elders speak of the Elemental Gods who watched of the universe. The Moon Goddess was created by the Goddess of Light Eden after the Great Migration, to help watch over everyone here on Earth. Eden was tasked with looking over this part of the universe but that was about it. The only thing I knew about Ravannah was that he would try to tempt those pure of heart and those who fall their souls would be filled with darkness. They would go mad and kill everything in sight, we called them Rouges. Not all Rouges are those who fell into Ravannah's web but almost all of them are. I looked up at her as the realization that even if for a split second I wanted to be the man I was before, that would never be possible. I sealed my fate that day and apparently I wasn’t supposed to fall, but I did. I was deep in thought as these things were racing through my mind when she cleared her throat getting my attention again. She pulled out a photo while speaking to me and laid it on my desk.  "I know a way for you to have a mate again and a strong one at that." she smiled down at the photo now in my hands. There was a beautiful girl no more than 17 or 18 years of age. She had long black hair, bright blue eyes, with freckles going across the bridge of her nose. Her skin just slightly tanned and a bright smile. She was innocent looking and very pure. "We will break her." Hades said while looking over the picture as well. "That we would." I replied to him.

"So what are you asking me?" I looked back up to Cleo as a wicked smile formed across her face. "She is a very special girl. I can make a spell to block the mate bond of her true mate and make her believe that you are her mate. All you have to do is destroy the innocence that is within her. You must snuff out the light so that the darkness can take hold. She will play an important role in Ravannah's plans. You will gain a mate again and Ravannah will give you more power and she will bear your pups making them the most powerful werewolves to walk the planet. How does that sound Gideon?" I looked up at her, that smile still playing on her face. Hades and I both spoke our voices dueled together, "We will do it. We will make her ours." a wicked smile forming across my face as well. Killing my mate 20 years ago was at least worth it now.  All I have to do is find out who she is and how to get her.
