Kelner's POV.

What the heck was that downstairs?! I broke up with Lydia a long time ago and on good terms, the shock of her acting all possessive over me and saying we're still dating is ridiculous. Where did she come up with this idea that we are still seeing each other? Especially after the whole pack- including her- heard I had found Naya when I brought her with me to my territory.

Grant, I can't say I didn't enjoy the whole debacle. Seeing Naya jealous for the first time had my wolf purring inside my head and me feeling so proud of her possessiveness. I found her actions extremely enticing. It made me want to have her as my own even more, the little twitch at the side of her left eye as she stared down Lydia was so adorable I almost wanted to lean forward and kiss that spot, then lift her in my arms and run with her back to the pack house so I could spend the whole night with her but I didn't because there are steps a man should take before he claims his woman. The thing that got me the most was the laugh that spilled out of her lips as Lydia said she was my girlfriend. I admit I was nervous before hand but when she said that I became even more so, I wasn't sure how Naya would react but I was pleasantly surprised by her response.

Her laugh was such a turn on, I could hear the slight evilness in her tone, I never thought I would find it so appealing but it was. Even my warrior couldn't help but laugh at my mate's snarky remarks to this unmated she-wolf. I'm going to have to find a time to have a word with Lydia so she knows her rightful place. Although my mate said it more than clearly its good for it to come from her Alpha as well. I'm going to make sure I have Naya with me so nothing happens too.

As I walk up the stairs of my pack members house I look down at my arm and see slight half moon punctures of Lydia's nails in my arm, I don't worry about it since they should disappear in a few minutes but man did she make every effort to show my mate that I was hers. I hadn't regretted dating Lydia before but I certainly am starting to. I can feel a smoldering pair of eyes on my back but just raise my head and keep my eyes forward, which I then have to divert my eyes as I realize my mate's butt is right in line with my line of sight. Again I find myself having to take control of my urges, the need for her is increasing and I'm not sure how much longer I can wait, but for her I will. I want to get to know her first, finalize our relationship with a marriage bond and then...well you get the idea.

As we reach the top of the stairs I quickly pull Naya against me and whisper into her ear "that was really sexy you know, jealously looks well on you. Can't say I don't want to see you jealous again. I liked seeing the fire spark behind those eyes." I let my lips brush against her ear and am rewarded with a sharp shiver from her. I smile as I brush the side of her face with mine but before I can get comfortable in our position she grabs my arm and shoves it away "nice try buddy, don't think you can get away with what just happened down there. After we sort what's just happened with your pack members- or have you forgotten about them too- we're going to have a little chat." She begins to walk away from me but her feelings of aggrivation causes her to sway her hip without realizing as she walks and I hold back a few steps to cool myself down. My pack warrior from down stairs finally reaches us, he walks past me and directs Naya to the room where my dead pack members are.

I walk after them and when I'm only a few feet away I watch her as she steps before the room, I get angry at the pain and disgust on my mate's face; how bad can it be if her reaction is so strong? I quickly step forward as I notice her form begin to sway and put my arm around her for support, the scent of large amounts of blood spilled on the floor reaches my nose and I turn my head to the right to look in the room. The sight that greets me brings about the same reaction as it did Naya.

My nose told me exactly what I would see, there was blood everywhere. I have no idea how someone could do such a thing, the sight before me is horrific. Naya and I walk further into the room and the sight that meets us had us both taking a step back. The whole family's death was slow and painful and by the expressions left on their faces and the look in their eyes you could tell that they had to watch as each family member died. Naya steps closer to the young boy and sister, now I know why Lydia was so distressed when she saw me and dismissed the proper etiquette when in the presence of your Alpha, ex boyfriend or not. The young woman was her best friend, a part of me feels bad for Lydia as I remember she was the one to find them.

"Who could do such a thing?" Naya looks at me and I see tears have been falling down her face, I brush those tears away with my fingertips. "I don't know, sweet. One thing I can tell you is we need to be careful of Lydia. Although her behaviour down stairs didn't show it, I'm sure it was because of the pain and distress she is feeling right now." Natayshia looks at me with confusion in her eyes and face, I turn my eyes from her to the dead young woman before us "Talia was her best friend. They grew up together and were very close, she and Talia were like sisters. Talia's family treated her as if she were one of their own after the loss of her parents." I look back at her to see her face has fallen, "I feel so bad now for the attitude I gave her, I don't know what came over me. I should have treated her better, I am usually so sensitive of others feelings and I was not. She must be so heart broken to have been the one to find her best friend- her sister- and the family that she felt was hers. Now she has no one, doesn't she?" I nod my head at her in response, I still don't understand who could have done this. It just doesn't make sense why they chose this particular family.

As I focus on the four bodies before me something catches my attention. I take a step closer and concentrate on the cut given to their throats, for some reason the way it was done is familiar to me but that would be crazy.
