Unwanted

The Snake's P.O.V.

Why are the royals at the Silver Moon pack? I have been taking pups for over twenty-five years. What makes them think calling in royals will stop me? All the investigations they've done so far haven't come close to suspecting me.

I watch as they're all shown into the packhouse. It appears the alpha's daughter has returned. She disappeared right before I could get my hands on her. I wonder where she was and how she made her way back. She's beautiful, and I don't like seeing the prince with her. She may be too old for me to take for the original purpose I wanted her. However, she's not too old for me to use in other ways.

I walk into the packhouse once I'm sure everyone is tucked in for the night. I'm not supposed to be back yet. Everyone thinks I'm interviewing the other packs to see if their pups have been kidnapped like the ones in our pack. Of course, they don't have pups missing. Why would they when I'm only taking them from this pack?

I sneak down the hallway, listening outside each door. I can hear Damon talking to his new mate. At the next door, I hear the alpha and luna talking. The bad thing about the packhouse is the rooms don't allow you to hear what people are saying. The next room I go to is the king and queen. They're clearly having sex. Good for them. The last room is Teegan and the prince's. They're having sex too. I shouldn't stay out here for so long, but I can't help it. I'm getting hard thinking about doing the things to her I'm sure her mate's doing. I won't be gentle, though.

I have to go before I get caught, so I reluctantly walk to my room down the hall. When I open the door, my mate is already sleeping. I can't stand her. She's nothing but an old hag and can't please me in the bedroom anymore. The mate bond broke when my wolf left years ago. I have managed to keep it hidden by always finding excuses why I don't need to shift.

I go to the bathroom and take a quick shower, washing off the human woman I had sex with before coming home. Humans are so stupid, but their women are willing to pretty much do it with anyone, unlike she-wolves who want to wait for their mate. When I get out, my mate is sitting up, looking at me in confusion.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were at the other packs." She asks me. I slap her hard across the face. She still has her wolf, so it doesn't hurt like it would if she were human. She glares at me as she holds her face.

"What right do you have to question me?" I yell at her.

"Maybe I should tell the alpha what you're really like. I bet he wouldn't trust you so much if he knew you were an abusive asshole." She yells back at me. I'm frustrated and need something to burn off my energy, so I hit her again and again. I can tell she's going to shift soon, so I run over and get the wolfsbane from my jeans pocket on the floor. Before she can shift to her wolf, I throw some on her. Now, she can't mindlink anyone, and she can't shift.

"You fucking asshole. Touch me again, and I'll scream." She threatens as she stands up. I smack her again, and when she tries to scream, I grab her hair and shove her face into the mattress.

"I can't stand looking at such an ugly good-for-nothing bitch. You have no one to blame for this but yourself." She tries to struggle, but because of the wolfsbane, she's as weak as a human. I pull her pajama pants and panties down and shove my pants down. The last thing I want to do is cum in her old pussy, but I need to relieve my anger. I slam into her from behind, and she tries to scream again. I put my hand on her neck, pushing her harder into the mattress while picturing it's Teegan I'm fucking. When I orgasm, I shove her aside and pull up my pants. She falls to the ground, and I kick her.

"Get your nasty ass up," I yell at her. That's when I notice her eyes are open, and her head is at a strange angle. Checking her pulse, I realize she's dead. Great, now I have to figure out how to get rid of her body. Or do I? No one saw me, so maybe I can sneak back out and pretend to come home in the morning. When I find her body, I'll act as though I'm distraught. That's perfect. I hurry and get dressed, making sure there are no signs I came home early. I got rid of my anger, at least, and I killed the bitch, so now I'm free to do as I please.

I look out into the hallway, and no one is there. I creep down the stairs and out the front door. I don't go far because I don't want the guards on duty to see me leaving, so I go to one of the little houses I know is empty. I lay down on the bed and fall asleep with a smile on my face. Tomorrow will be a good day.

Teegan's P.O.V.

I wake up feeling refreshed but slightly confused by my surroundings. When I get my bearings, I smile to myself. I found my family, and they actually wanted me all along. I stretch and turn over to face Joel. He smiles at me before leaning over to kiss me.

"How do you feel this morning?" He asks, rubbing his hand down my side and over my bottom.

"I feel great. However, I'm also concerned that someone has been able to take pups from the pack for so long. Doesn't it feel like it has to be someone from the inside? Someone that they trust? I think strangers would be noticed sneaking around the pack." I say as Joel's hand finds its way between my legs. Sometimes, I think he has a one-track mind.

"I agree, and that's why I asked Marcus to start looking at the pack members discreetly to see what he could find. He's meeting with your parents now to get information on everyone. We're ruling our your family but no one else. Everyone from the beta down will be looked into." I relax a little and spread my legs for him.

"Good. Now, let's take care of your needs, and then we can go downstairs." He brings his lips to mine while rolling me onto my back.

An hour later, we are heading toward the stairs when we see my parents and Anton coming out of a room with Marcus. We stop and wait for them to catch up. My mom and dad hug Joel and me. I notice they both look better than they did last night.

"Good morning," I say to them.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Mom asks as we walk down the stairs.

"Extremely well." As I'm getting ready to thank them again for my beautiful room, the front door of the packhouse opens, and a man of about fifty walks in. He's average height with short brown hair. He looks up at us, and the way he stares at me gives me the creeps. I think Joe feels it, too, because he put his arms around me, pulling me to his side.

"We didn't expect you back so soon." My dad says. I notice a hint of something in his voice that makes me look at him. He doesn't seem pleased to see whoever this is.

"I got finished early. I'll brief you about it later. It looks like we have company." The man says, looking at me again.

"Yes, this is Teegan, our long-lost daughter and her mate Prince Joel. Teegan, Joel, this is my beta Brock."
