XANDER POV

I sat on my chair next to Shane. We had just got back from the pack meeting, and Seth wasn't handling himself well. I knew Seth was still wasn't up for tough responsibilities to shoulder but I let Shane do his turnpikes anyways.

It was humorous how everything I would calculate would take place. I was always a five steps ahead from all of my brothers. Even Shane, but he doesn't need to know that. I don't need him to know. I know he trusted me in the world and I wasn't going to break that...yet.

"HEY! I'M NOT A BRO CON!!" Cel's sweet voice erupted in the house. I smiled and watched all my brothers laugh in wild manners.

I stayed with my smile, contented by hearing her soothing voice that keeps me sedated. I cherished Cel. Her high-spirited self, the way she would talk to me, her innocent smiles and the way she would speak my name with so much love. I had always adore her, but just like Shane, she doesn't have to know .

"We know your not sweetheart! So please hurry up downstairs and let's eat lunch love!!" Shane shouted from beside and the twins started slamming the table, laughing rowdily.

Shane slightly chuckled and Seth was starting to cool down with the frisky smirk he always carry. Celaine has just that kind of effect on us. She was our center, her being her was the one constant warmth in our lives.

"She's one of a kind bro. I told you so." One of the twin's said. I didn't know who was who. I hated inhaling others scent but Cel was the only one I was fond of taking a whiff with. She was really a unique girl. Shane, Seth and I knew that best and we plan to know why.

Cel's scent would change every week, flowers, muffins, chocolates, minty leaves, fresh melon water, and anything else. Her scent was addicting, making me think that she was maybe my mate, but that couldn't possibly happen, because my wolf wasn't reacting to Cel and she was my own blood sister. I was dismayed but relieved. It was more safe to stay that way. I needed her safe.

"So? Does anybody here know the word, sexual intercourse?" Cel blurted in the middle of our lunch.

The twins nearly choke on their food, Seth was frowning at Emma, Shane had a fixed intent look at Cel and I was smiling in my seat.

She is one of a kind.

..HEEHEHEKEKEKE... My wolf Caine cackled in a growling way.

"What? I was just asking. And I'm 18 years old so I really have to know about these kind of things. I'm not 14 anymore guys." Cel said with a glare and crossed her arms in her seat while Emma fidgets.

I stayed silent and smiled at Emma, she gulped again and I could tell that she was interested in me. I stayed oblivious.

"Who the fuck brought that shit to you?" Seth growled, coming back to his senses, with all the colorful words that Cel would copy from him.

And just a moment later he was acting like the world just ended.

HEHEHEKEKE... IDIOT PUP. Caine commented, making me smirked on how we could understand each other in a sync.

"Well, I asked first. Ladies first remember?" Cel scowled at Seth, making him sneer. Emma quiches with Cel but Cel had her poker face on.

"Sweetheart just ask your mate if you meet him. It's a question for mates. Aren't I right, Emma?" Shane smiled intimidatingly at Emma, making her tremble.

"Ye--yes A-Al-- Alpha Shane." Our half blood cousin stammered.

"Urgh. Shane, Don't bully Emma. She's my mate." Cel said coolly, and hugged Emma in her arms, sticking her tongue out at Shane.

Mate? Emma is? Hmmm..

Astounded as I was, I hoped for Shane to find Cel's actions more interesting than disrespecting. Shane was looking at Cel divertingly, leaning on his chair back and forth, carrying a sober look.

Seth was scowling at the beaming Cel. The twins were clutching their stomachs as if they were going to burst into a wild cackle.

"She's your mate Cel? How do you know that? Is that true Emma?" I asked softly at the two, exchanging my eyes from each of the girls.

"Luna was just--"

"Oh Boo don't call me that. Call me sweetie. Don't mind the great Alphas. I'm really sorry that my brothers are such jerks. No offense guys." She looks at us with an innocent peek and I smiled.

Emma was sweating at the shock, wanting to confront us all with the wisecracks. Cel can be a haze.

"What happened to having kids and being a manga artist?" Shane asked in bemusement, causing the twins to burst into loud cackles. Emma was blushing red but Cel had her serious look on.

"Don't be jealous Shane. You could still be my financial publisher in the business and babysit my kids." She answered in a smirk. Emma was turning ail and sweaty.

Seth growled at the loud twins, who were slamming the table and each others back.

This is interesting.

Shane looked like he have the sentiment. Cel was clearly bluffing.

"Then what does Emma smells like? Care to share love?" Shane asked playfully.

"Blueberry pancakes." Cel shrugged her shoulders.

A small laughter accidentally slipped from me.

Blueberry pancakes had always been her favorite dessert. She would fight to the death for it. I recall one time when Seth took her blueberry pancakes when we were kids, she lunged at Seth and tackled him to the ground like an American football player in the age of six. We never miss with her pancakes after that.

"What's so funny? She did smell like it when I first met her." Cel glared. Emma was shaking and shaking her head at Cel, begging her to stop. The twins busted into another loud outburst.

"Well, let's ask Emma then, what do our sister smells like Emma?" Shane said, making us all stare at our cousin's trembling body.

"I--I don't know." She squeaked.

"Why not Emma?" Shane asked with more power in his voice that was even overwhelming our wolves. My wolf Caine, was growling in my head and didn't like bowing down but still was forced to submit. I know Shane was a lot stronger than me but that can be easily taken care off.

"I swear Alpha Shane. Luna is just kidding. Please don't kill me." Emma started to shake nonstop, making Cel quit it out and guiltily hugged her in worry.

"Sorry Boo.. I didn't mean for you to be scared. Please don't cry boo.." Cel whispered in Emma's ear so that we couldn't hear it, but fortunately, we did.

The lunch ended well. All in after; having Shane calmed the trembling atmosphere in the dining room worked it out.

Emma was staying in the guest room besides Cel's room. She was looking at the house magnificently when I escorted her to her room. It was all Cel's idea to set me up with Emma, she just wouldn't stop begging.

But whatever my sister was planning was not going to happen in the slightest, even my mate is going to be rejected.

Taking a gallant look at Emma, she was having too much fun at sightseeing our house. I couldn't understand why, there wasn't any wonder to it.

Our mansion was a three floored house, with all the rooms we needed for everything; gym, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bar room, library, a garden room, dancing room, playing room, and even a theater room which we don't really use anymore.

The 1st floor was for our parents. 2nd floor were for Shane, Seth and I, 3rd floor were Cel's and the twins who stick to her like glue. The house was indeed a grand but it wasn't such a fancy place.

"This is it Emma. I'll place your luggage here and I'll give you some time to rest then. This room has all you need. If you need everything else, don't hesitate to ask." I said, placing her baggage on the side of the huge pink bed. She was more than silent with being together with me yet she never fail to steal a glance.

"Is something bothering you Emma?" I asked and walked in front of her.

"No, nothing is bothering me Alpha Xander." She said in a brisk, forming a lively smile.

"That's nice to know. I'll see you later." I said coolly and exited her room when she suddenly tugged my shirt for a second and retreated her form. I looked back at her, "Something wrong?" I asked gently.

She met my gaze. It was exactly two second just before she let go of my shirt and there was anxiety on her mind. The blonde girl had let go of my shirt and look down at the floor.

"I'm sorry about bo--Luna. You don't have to force yourself to do this again Alpha Xander. Luna is just...sentimental." She says in a awkward giggle. I nodded and gave her a faint smile, leaving the room without making her utter another word.

The twins were out with Cel. And Shane took a run with his wolf. Shane and his wolf, Setsu, were demons that kept on clashing together; showing who was more superior and dominant.

Shane was a hard book to read from time to time. My calculations about him would sometimes not be what I expected it to be. Cel was also someone who can't be measured by calculations. She's like an open book with ancient scribbles and passwords letters written on it.

"LAINE YOU DAMNED LADY!! YOUR DEAD!!!" A loud growl shakes the floors of the massive mansion. It was Seth growling in berserk from his room.

"What was that Alpha Xander!?" Emma panicked as she slams open her door.

"Circumstances." I answered in pretense.

"What?"

"Stay inside your room."

"But--"

"STAY. INSIDE." I used my alpha command on her and she nodded, going back to her room and locked her door. I was glad she wasn't such a challenge like Cel.

I ran towards Seth's room and saw his eyes flashing between golden eyes and black. He was damn furious.

"Stay calm Seth. Do not let Sheldon control you." I said and tapped his back, he shoved me off and glared at his room intently. I finally catch on why he was so mad.

"Heh." I let out a side smirk.

He's room which was supposed to be dark and wild turned into a one-liner. A line of pink and whiskers.

Cel...your such a surprise dear one.

She cranked her older brother again. Seth's bed was pink and hello kitties were everywhere. His walls was pasted with large heart stickers and emoticon figures.

Imagining Cel humming and giggling while doing all the stuff after we left for the pack meeting this morning wasn't very hard to do so.

"That sister of ours had gone too far! She's going to get it!" Seth growled and scratched the walls with his sharp long nails that was shifting.

HIS MUTT IS BERSERK. Caine warned.

What can I do? I'm not his mate. I can't calm him down but I can beat him to shit to shut his crap up, which is also a bad move but very satisfying.

YOUR BERSERK TOO. Caine growled.

I smirked and leave the rampaging Seth on his room. He had the worst day going for him but he'll pick it up together to pull himself. Too much Gehenna had set in his mind to keep him relief.

Walking in the massive hallways and red carpets on the floor, my mind replayed with the scenes from earlier.

-Three hours earlier-

The pack meeting was vital. Shane snapped an Alpha's neck and ripped his head off from his body because of the disrespect. Seth was still able to handle the state but when we started on showing him the rogue basement prison. He started to show a bit of doubt. Seth was ruthless but Shane and I were merciless.

We caught rogues who were trying to trespass this early morning and two of them were ten year old kids who followed their parents in human form. Werewolves weren't able to shift until 17, which Alexander and Maximus proved wrong. The two could already shift a week earlier than their seventeen birthdays, they were rare cases. All of us pure bloods were.

-End of reminisce-

"How could you do that? They were kids." Seth was suddenly behind me, scratching his head. He was finding reason to rub off the salt in his wound.

I smiled and answered, "Shane says great kings makes great sacrifices."

"So you just follow with every bidding?" He spat, still not recovering from seeing us torture the rogues and their kin. Information were needed and it was a necessary move.

This behavior. Hmmnn...It's still too soon to tell him about the Blue Woods Pack. I guess it will take weeks after it's on the open.

Although, I knew that the hunters have already caught whiff about the massacre of the largest pack in Japan, basing on the hunters movement. Never would I ever let Celaine cross the border again by herself.

"Did you damn saw what he did to those kids!? That was shit!" Seth yelled. I growled at him, alerting him about Emma. He scoffed but get my drift.

'What done is done. And what he did given us all the information we needed.' I answered in the mind link, taking the conversation privately.

'I can take lives, but not that way.' He spat.

'What's the difference? All in all, it's still the same. Life is life and there are no innocent ones in the wrong.'

'You know that our old man wouldn't approve of this damn shit.' He growled.

'He doesn't have too. Shane does.' I smirked.

'The fuck!?'

'Be calm.'

'Don't tell me that you use that same method to end the rogues and war packs in Japan!!?'

Oh, And I thought he was a complete idiot. Looks like I was wrong. Mutt can use his brain too.

AGREED. SLY DUMB SHELDON. Caine snickered in my head.

Seth was growling at me. I stayed insensitive to his dramatic irony and stared at him with no emotion. Cold-bloodiness.

"Seth. Your a pureblooded Alpha. Don't be the weak-link to our bloodline." I advised at the growling mutt. He looks at me with rage and turns his back with a growl of disrespect. I let him off without a care and with consideration of his mind-reasoning.

I ran outside the mansion, leaving Emma to rest in her room and a berserk Seth.

Shifting to a huge black wolf when I reach my destination, I took a ran with the wind. My wolf was second to Shane's size. Purebloods were great. Our wolves were thrice the size of a normal were.

Now then. Let us hunt some blood, shall we?

Caine howled in agreement.

A slight smile formed.

My wolf was a killer because I know I was. We were both cold-blooded animals, obdurate of things and insensate.

My mate would have to reject me or I'll end up killing her.

I'm a killer for fun.

Its a curse that sprouted.

CELAINE POV

After being dragged around by Maximus and Alexander like they're favorite toy, I instantly head to the living room and clomped on the u-shaped couch. I looked at large window glasses, staring right into the blackness of the night. I still couldn't believe the shame and trouble we sought.

*FLASHBACK*

We had just got Shane's approval to cross the border. The twins were getting rowdy, loaded with overpowering wavelengths.

We sprayed wolf's block to our bodies to prevent hunters from sniffing us. It was bad to know that werewolves were out partying in the city. We took Alexander's favorite red Lamborghini car with him as the driver.

Trees were lining up, lights following us, the sound of the wind, vehicles going broom and the leaves swinging with the windy sky.

Refreshing. A new pace. Cool breeze.

And a pair of annoying knickknacks.

The twins and I walked in the public streets after parking the red Lamborghini. We were heading to my favorite cafe, 'Cafe au Fleiya.'

I groaned, feeling completely uncomfortable as I sensed some humans staring at us with disgust. They were viewing us like I was some slut stuck between two handsome guys, who were actually my clingy brothers!

Maximus was on my right side, nuzzling on my neck while holding my hips. Alexander held my right hand, squeezing it tight and kissing it every minute.

"Maximus stop nuzzling in my neck." I whisper-yelled. I peered on the side and saw an old woman looked at me with contempt. I could feel myself shrinking from her wrinkling glare.

"Ignore them El." Alexander said huskily and winked at me while Maximus kept on nuzzling.

"You too, stop kissing my hand. You don't know where I put it and you don't even want to know bro." I warned Alexander, discouraging him to stop.

"All the more reason I want to." He kissed my hand again and sucked it, making me moan without thinking. The twins looked at me with startled expressions and I smacked their head in front of the staring audiences in the public. They were teasing me too much and getting out of the line.

"We have mates!" I shrieked. It felt like I was carrying two elementary boys with me.

"Kids these days. So despicable. I can't believe this people." An old woman with a boy spat coldly with disgust.

What the heck!? These are my brothers you wrinkling old woman!

Before I could stomp my way to the old woman, Maximus and Alexander had beaten me to it, dragging me in front of the woman.

"Old hag. Shut your ramp. These is our sister who we haven't spend time for the last three damn years. And now your making fun of us because your fucking insecure with your unusable hormones and sagging rack?" Maximus spat and growled at the woman making her whimper. All our audiences were scared by the growl and scrambled into elsewhere.

Woah! You go Maximus! You just read my mind! Tell the old lady to fuck off more bro!!!

I smirked at the old woman who was looking very shocked. I felt sorry for the kid she was with but I wanted her to know her place. She wasn't someone to insult us, not me, not them, and especially my sex appeal.

These were purebloods she was messing with.

"Ma'am, please just go in with your inept life and feed your little boy. Also, manage some time for the baby that you are carrying inside you. I feel that it might soon come out of your VG." Alexander said, imitating mom's voice. Maximus and I tried were holding our laughter.

"I'm not pregnant! And this boy is my sister's kid! You despicable ingrate!" She screams. Alexander smirks at her and she opens her mouth to insult more, I just wanted her to get it over with.

"Just take that cheap looking slut with you and shoo!" The woman sneered. I broke a sweat.

Maximus and Alexander growled. They were too hot-headed that I was the one being involve, such really loving brothers. I held their arms before they could snap the old woman's neck in front of the kid. I shook my head at them. I was going to take care of the situation.

"Oh my goodness ma'am! Please don't lie and go home fast, you better take care of that sagging breast. I think it's overflowing with your breast milk!?" I said in a panicking voice followed by twins muffled laughter.

People passing by glanced at the hag and snickered. The old woman turned red and stormed away with a frustrated expression, dragging the poor boy with her. I felt sorry but as the saying goes, better safe than sorry.

We finally arrive at the Cafe au Fleiya. Alexander bought me a large blueberry cake with chocolate mixing on top and Maximus let me choose our menu. It was a golden time of being alive. It didn't last long before we made a great scandal. Two couples were making annoying stories about us.

The show was good. We let the two couples had an
