"What the hell is your problem?" I screamed at Malik, when I finally managed to get up and face him.

"I could ask you the same thing. Why the hell did you do that?" My brows went up questioning him. I knew exactly what I did but I wanted him to say it.

"Think all those nasty thoughts? Seriously you with another wolf? What is wrong with you? Is is that you really have no respect for me? Do I really need to beat you into submission? I thought you were wiser than that."

"Well I don't care what you think, you don't know me or anything about me so don't try to control me." I stomped my foot on the hard floor.

"You are going to learn submission even if I have to kill you. Good thing you can't die." He stated marching to me.

"I would rather die than have you treat me like a juvenile wolf" I snarled, launching at him.

He grabbed me easily in the air and slammed me into the ground. That was three ribs right there. All my oxygen stopped, gosh he was strong there is no way I'll beat him in a head on fight. I never thought I'd be doing this but at this point if Mother ever saw a mere wolf getting the better of her so-called better breeds she would cut of her hair.

I grabbed his upper arm and looked at him. He flew across the room and slammed into the wall. He broke out of the room and fell in the hall way. Splinters and pieces of wood scattered all over the floor. He got up and looked at me him eyes becoming lighter, he snarled.

Shit!

I ran to the farthest corner of the room and looked down through the window. Like hell I was going to make it. He already shifted to his wolf form. The monstrous sight. "What? You want to jump?" He growled. "Let me help your hesitation" before I could react he plowed into me. The force of it all sent us both flying through a five storey room as the wall gave way because of the impact. He pushed me down, and I smashed into the ground. His crushing weight pushing me deeper.

I swear, the deaths I faced in my life I wouldn't even wish on the moon goddess or mother. He stepped aside and walked a few feet away. I just laid there, trying to breathe without damaging my lungs any further. I struggled to hold in the cough but the blood still managed to splatter everywhere. My whole face was covered in blood. I was totally positive that my lungs where filled with blood and I could not breathe. This is not normal, I should not be alive in this condition. The pain I was in was beyond explanation.

"Seriously, is that it? Get up Iris, you want to be stubborn huh, get up" Malik's wolf snarled at me. I clearly underestimated him. He was just mad! How can you even do this to your mate. Oh my goodness, I am really mated to a demon. This was worse than the time I jumped in Alpha Eli's pack. Or even Abel torture. My clothes started feeling moist and I was sure blood already pooled all around my body. It was not question to how many bones where broken, all of them were.

I could hear gasps from the pack, ooh sorry to wake you. It just a little spat between your Alpha and me. Don't worry I won't die so easily. I struggled to keep my eyes open, not to give in to the darkness that called to me, gently nudging me along. Suddenly I got an idea, since all my bones are already broken. I tried to shift, every thing would be faster in wolf form. I knew my wolf was like a small poodle compared to Malik's but size isn't always everything. I was fast and I would use that to my advantage.

"Get up Iris! Get up!" His wolf yelled. Okay in a flash I shifted and lunged at him. I made it look as if I was going for his neck but I dodged and slid under his massive paw that rose to strike me. I lengthened my claws and dug it into his belly, dragging as I slid. By the time I was at the other side my whole white fur was covered in blood. He dropped to the floor for a bit and I shifted back, grabbing pieces of my torn clothes. I tried a bit around my waist and boobs. Sue me, I hate naked fighting.

It barely covered me but It would have to do. Thank goodness I was wearing a baggy top. Can't rely on the Jeans. He was just about recovered by the time I was done tying my rags. Come on. He healed as fast as I did. He came at me again and I dodged rolling over to the other end.

The pack was tense but nobody dared make a move to stop us. Who would dare anyway. When you have a crazed wolf on the loose. He ran towards and made a move to scratch my hands, I shifted swiftly so that the tips barely grazed me, but I fell right into his trap. He used the other paw to smack me away. I tumbled a bit before coming to a halt. Ouch! Whatever ribs just healed I could forget about it. I moved as far away from him as I possibly could. It useless to fight him without magic. No way I'll win.

"Then was is wrong Iris, use magic. There are no rules you know"

But all these people, and the hell! Stay out of my head.

"Oh your afraid of what they'll think of you? What I'll think of you? Just do it show us your true colours huh. Prove all the rumours right, why don't you. Or kneel down now and submit"

"Why are you doing this?" I asked. All my life I have been running from my past, my nature. Fighting the lure of my magic because it only attracted evil. Not to mention the stigma that follows when wolves find out am a west witch. And this arrogant bastard is here unwrapping years of hiding.

"Why am I doing what? It's who you are is it not? Why you fell five storeys and your still fighting or how you miraculously saved a pup that had disappeared. Tell me Iris, no tell us what the hell are you? Fight me the only way you know how because so help me Goddess I will beat it out of you and you know I can"

I know Malik already knows all this, he is in my head. That means he knows why am hiding, he feels my pain why the hell is he doing this? Why is he being heartless. What have I done to deserve this.

"Screw you" I spat at him. His growled, "okay Iris let's do this the hard way then" he slapped me with his paws, slamming my head into the ground.

Then he picked me up again and slapped me over and over leaving claw Marks all over me. Some deeper than the others. In summary my body was battered and bloody. But just as the wounds healed he made new ones. Until I couldn't take it anymore. But the wounds didn't hurt as much as my heart. How could he do something so despicable and horrible to me his own mate? Did I not matter? I was sobbing and crying and I did nothing to stop myself. That was it.

I pushed him away. Just like before he flew and landed on the ground. I was angry, I knew my eyes had gone completely black and the white in my eyes would have disappeared. I moved to where he was, my feet no longer touching the ground. I saw he was getting up and I pushed him further into the ground.

"You want magic? Then here it is" I made the earth tremble and it started to crack everywhere until everything started to crumble. I heard the other pack members screaming and moving away. I made a circle of fire around Malik and I. I stepped into the ground in front of him. I grabbed his throat and lifted him off the ground. He hadn't shifted back yet, that was probably for the best. I slammed him back into the ground. I did it again and again. Then I stepped back and went up in the air again, swirling chunks of earth around me I was spurting out dozens of spells to keep up with all the chaos around me. Everything depended on the right words. I picked him up with a spell and smacked him with a big piece of rock.

"This is what you want huh?" I screamed at him. "You made the worst mistake of your life just now, for making me do this I hate you!"

My wolf cried out in pain. She was not enjoying this, well neither was I but it's what he wanted right? I heard screaming, some wolves were trying to get in the circle of fire idiots. I rose the wall up and doubled the heats. Never mess with a witch of the west. We are basically myths but nothing said about us is false. Wicked, heartless, powerful and extremely dangerous it was all true.

"Is this want you want" I screamed at the pack, tears and blood dripping form my face it was heartbreaking. I felt broken and exposed. Embarrassed and ashamed as I saw the look of terror on the packs faces. It broke my heart. Why would he make me do this?

"Ahhhhhhh!!" I fell down from up with a heavy weight pushing me down. It was Malik, he used the little opportunity I was distracted to bring me down. I struggled to move under him, but his weight was crushing into me. Next thing I knew he bit into my neck for the second time. Everything stopped. I felt weak for a bit, before energy surged and I pushed him off. He shifted and we both lay down breathing and focusing on not passing out.

We both staggered and where covered in blood. This was it, that bite, this bond, his mark would be the death of me. No way in a million years could ever be able to beat a witch. But this power he had over me now, since I've been marked it prevented me from going further. He also looked beat, but he wore pants, someone must have given it to him while I was still on the floor. The fire had even gone out already, he looked like he was struggling to stay awake. We stayed like that sagged and watching each other, panting. It was a tie, we could go in forever nothing will change.

"You think I would hate you if I knew who you were? Iris you are my mate I couldn't hate you even if I wanted to" he finally spoke up.

"You fool! Why can't you understand! Let me go. I am a plague, I bring evil every where I go. Just please let this go" I cried. What was he doing? He should just let me go, already.

"Even if I wanted to it's too late. You've been marked but don't think I didn't know before I marked you. I know you might not believe me but I love you Iris. Please just trust me, the moon goddess makes no mistakes. We're mates whatever you go through I do too" his stare was so intense it felt to hot. Liquid kept dripping from my face I wasn't sure anymore if it was tears or blood.

"You don't understand I'm cursed! Listen to me please" I sobbed into my palms. By the time I lifted my head he had captured me in a warm embrace. Resting his chin on my head. I cried into his chest.

"It doesn't matter, you can't tell me to let you go, I can't do that. If you're cursed then I am too" he stroked my hair and released me from the hug. Staring straight into my eyes.

"How can you be so confident, I'm a threat to your pack. Besides my kind has always been mortal enemies of the lycan how is your pack ever going to accept me?"

"You are my pack Iris, you." He looked up to the rest of the pack. "This my mate and your Luna. You may have heard of her before but I am officially announcing it. I'm sure you already know what she is, it doesn't matter anyone that opposes her or the fact that she is the Luna? You can challenge her for the rank. If not bow to your new Luna."

At that moment the silence that fell after Malik finished talking was broken with the cracking bones. The whole pack shifted and bowed to us. Next thing Malik started howling beside me and the rest of the pack followed.

Okay, what the hell is happening?
