This chapter has already been uploaded but here it is again, the start is the same but it is completely new closer to the end and will help give more insight into why Theo ran away.

Theo's POV

I close my eyes in an attempt to savour any memories of her I have left. Her soft blonde hair, the way it frames her beautiful face. Those innocent blue eyes, eyes that could make me do just about anything. Her soft lips, how perfectly her hand fits in mine. Letting out a growl I punch my desk.

Closing my eyes once again as an image of my gorgeous mate forms in my head. Only she doesn't look happy, she looks sad, heartbroken even. My heart clenches at the thought of Isabelle in pain, until a tiny voice in my head reminds me.

I created that pain.

"Hey there big boy." I look up taken back by how close Brittany was. Her blonde her swirled down her back flawlessly, my eyes trail down to her lips those plush lips.

'Theo!' My wolf growls in my mind, 'we have a beautiful mate this slut is nothing.' I know he's right but everything about Brittany is just so, sexy.

Brittany cranes her neck slightly gently placing a hand on my chest, "where is this mysterious mate of yours?" She purrs into my ear her hands trailing down my chest.

"She's staying with Dexter." I say emotionlessly, even thinking about left a bad taste in my mouth. My mate, my one and only with my brother. I shiver.

"Shouldn't she be here, since you claim to be mates and all." My brain stops functioning as her hands reach my crotch, even through two layers of fabric her touch is amazing.

''That slut said 'claim' to be mates!' I can hear my wolf's protests in the back of my mind by block them out.

How can something so wrong feel this good. I wrap my arm around Brittany's waist but she pulls away, slowly un-doing the huge trench coat.

My eyes widen as her trench coat falls revealing what's underneath. I bite my lip.

'You have a mate a beautiful, beautiful mate.' My wolf growls in anger.

'My mate isn't here right now.' I reply dismissing the idea all together, Brittany is magnificent.

'Just because your mate isn't here, that gives you no right to do this Theodore!' But his voice is quiet as I block out my wolf.

Ever since Isabelle arrived she's barely let me touch her, what's so wrong with a little bit of touching. Guys have needs, I'm sure she'll understand.

I reach over rapping my arm around Brittany's waist and pull her closer. My lips poised to touch hers just as the door's flung open. I turn around to growl at whoever interrupted my moment but am instead met with sad blue eyes.

"Isabelle." I start my face coloured shock, "W-what are you doing here? I thought you w-were with Dexter?" I say moving towards her.

Instinctively I watch Isabelle back away,

"I w-was" she says shaking slightly. "B-but he told me to c-come back."

"O-oh." Is all I manage, I look down realising my arm is still rapped around Brittany. Instantly I release her turning my attention back onto Isabelle.

"I s-should go" she mumbles turning back to the door, every step she takes breaks my heart a little more.

"No Isabelle you don't have to go." I try taking another step towards the broken beauty.

"I t-think I do." she says running out the door before I can stop her.

"Dammit!" I yell looking over at Brittany, "get out of my house." I growl pointing towards the door.

Pouting Brittany steps towards me, "but we were just about t-."

"To nothing Brittany, nothing at all. I have a beautiful mate who I refuse to lose because of this. So I suggest you get the hell out of my house right now!" I growl letting my wolf come to the surface.

Brittany stumbles back slightly but she doesn't look afraid. In that moment I break completely, my mate is gone because of her.

"I said get out of my house Brittany." I growl in my Alpha tone I watch her attempt to fight it before finally submitting and running off.

I sit down for a moment, what the hell just happened? Where is Isabelle?

'Probably gone now you idiot.' My wolf growls and I can feel his anger.

Running my fingers through my hair I let out a string of curse words, 'I'm sorry I just.'

'You just what Theo? Let another girl touch you without any hesitation and you would've slept with her if it wasn't for our mates impeccable timing!' My wolf growls again as his anger builds.

'What am I going to do?' I ask helplessly I really screwed this up.

'You're going to go out there find our mate and beg her for forgiveness I don't care how long it takes, she deserves better than us.' My wolf says before disappearing at those last words his anger is gone, all that's left is regret and guilt.

I gulp, but before I get a chance to leave Dexter comes rushing in.

"We have to find your mate, she's gone." He says panic in his voice.

To exhausted to argue I just follow Dexter out, desperate to pick up Isabelle's scent.

"What did you do to her Theodore?" Dexter questions his voice is cold and I can see the anger in his eyes. "You cheated on your mate, your one true love for a pack slut didn't you?" He accuses but I'm to numb to reply, I did. I cheated on my own mate, my heart sinks I have no chance.

"Are you an idiot? You finally found your mate and now you're just running off with whor-."

"I get it I did something wrong but can we just focus on finding Isabelle."

Dexter growls but nods his head, "Theo what you did is much worse than 'something wrong' you probably broke the poor girls heart."

I stopped listening to Dexter the moment I caught her scent, shifting I follow the intoxicating smell. "I'm coming Belle."

I shift back into human form as Isabelle's scent grows stronger, "Isabelle!" I cry out rushing towards her.

Her head turns to face me and my heart drops, tear-stained and weak I lay eyes on my beautiful mate. Slowly I reach for her hand but she flinches away.

'That's what you get.' My wolf murmurs in the back of my mind.

"D-don't touch m-me," she whispers breaking my heart.

I take a deep breathe, "Please Isabelle, we have to g-."

"No!"She cries moving further away from me, "I'm not going a-anywhere with you."

"Come on Isabelle be reasonable." I say softly bending down to her level.

"R-reasonable?" "Y-your the one w-who's c-c-cheating!" I flinch at her words she's right, this is my fault.

I stare at her, "I can explain."

"I d-don't want to h-hear it."

"P-please Belle."

"D-don't you dare c-call me that!" She screams anger flickering through those beautiful blue eyes.

I look down at Isabelle, my beautiful Isabelle. Slowly I scoop her off the ground, she's my mate and I am not leaving her to sleep in the woods. Her small fists pound on my chest and although they cause no physical pain I can feel her heart breaking.

"Put her down." Without flinching I continue back towards my pack house, letting out a growl for good measure. If anyone thinks they can take their mate away from me, they are sorely mistaken.

"I said. Put. Her. Down."

Tightening my grip on Isabelle I respond, "who are you?"

"I'm here for Isabelle." I hold my breathe battling for control, Isabelle is my mate and there is no one who will challenge me on this.

Turning around I feel my stomach drop, as the most feared Alpha in the world there is almost no one who would even survive an aggressive encounter with me.

No, it can't be, can it? Xavier.

The Alpha of Alpha's and one of the most powerful werewolves in the world. It's not possible he never shows his face to people outside of the committee.

"Isabelle." My blood turns cold, the way he says her name.

"Theodore, I am asking you now to put Isabelle down."

His green eyes meet mine, I stare at him just to be sure. "Who are you?"

"Xavier, my name is Xavier." Just like that my fears are confirmed, there is no way I can challenge him, I've never had good experiences with the werewolf committee and challenging their Alpha would lead to me losing my title.

I close my eyes, dropping Isabelle and running, I can't lose my pack.

I open my eyes feeling the heart break all over again.

Why did I buy into Brittany's stupid temptation when I already have the most beautiful mate in the world?

Running my fingers through my hair I curse loudly, why the hell didn't I listen to Dexter? Even after Isabelle was in a coma I still defended Brittany?

I don't deserve her.

I don't deserve her.

I don't deserve her.

Just like that the world's most feared Alpha breaks.

I feel the tears as they begin to fall, it's no use fighting them.

"What the hell were you thinking man?" Dexter says glaring at me.

I let out a growl, "I don't know!"

"You don't know?" My brother replies, his voice is a mixture of madness and anger.

"I thought she was with you."

"Because cheating on your mate is okay if they're with your brother?"

"Don't act like you've never thought about it." I growl back gritting my teeth.

"The moment I met my mate I could never look at another girl again." His voice is so sincere there is nothing I can say. "You on the other hand haven't changed."

"I u-m."

"What happened?" He growls anger boiling in each word.

"What do you mean?" I say avoiding his question.

"Between you and whoever?" He spits out the words and I can see he's battling with his wolf. Dexter has always been sensitive about mates. Even before he met his, Dexter saved himself. He truly believed that with a mate came eternal happiness and despite everything he continued to believe that even if he struggled to trust his true mate.

"Between me and Brittany?" I reply shaking slightly, I may be the most feared Alpha in the world but Dexter can be much scarier.

"I don't care what her name is." His hands curl into fists.

"She came in, asking about Isabelle. She was wearing a huge trench coat and s-she just sat on me. I couldn't help myself, she undid her coat so slowly and hell Dexter she wasn't wearing much." I begin avoiding Dexter's gaze.

"Then?" He continues to press for details shamelessly.

"Then I growled and tried to convince her to leave, but she was sure we were mates. She said that the fact that I was aroused meant there had to be something there. You can't argue with logic like that." I say shrugging my shoulders as if it's no big deal.

"The only reason why you felt that way was because you were desperate your own mate was afraid of you. It's not logic it's manipulation and you took the bait." His words are filled with nothing but venom.

I run my fingers through my hair, "you weren't there Dexter you don't understand Brittany is amazing."

"You don't get it?" He growls taking a step towards me.

"Get what?" I ask my patience wearing thin.

"Your mate is forever not someone who you can just toss aside for some slut who walks into your house naked thats not how it works. You're lucky to even have a mate goddammit!" He yells at me shaking his head furiously.

"I don't know why your making this into such a big deal I mean I didn't sleep with her." I say even though I know that I would've had Isabelle not walked in.

Dexter shakes his head at me, "you don't get it."

"Get what?" I cry out, fed up with Dexter.

"Xavier took her Dexter and you know what will happen if I go up against the werewolf committee."

Dexter doesn't even flinch, "Xavier will be better to Isabelle than you could ever be."
