Alex POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to someone straddling me and covering my mouth

I began to yell when they put something cold against my neck

I felt the familiar sharpness of a blade

Fear began to fill my body as the dark figure sat on top on me

They took their hand off of my mouth and held a finger to their mouth telling me to be quiet

"If you scream I'm going slice your throat do you understand" a familiar voice said

Then my face went white as I realized it was John

" J-john?" I said quietly he chuckled darkly putting a hand on my chest

"No No my name is jake" he said with a sort of child's voice

"W-what are you doing " I stuttered

His expression drew a blank and he took the knife from my neck sticking it into the wood beside my head

"Can I tell you a secret" he said smiling like a child on Christmas

I nodded

"Mr. John killed little Joey" he said giggling a little

" W-what do you mean " I asked confusion written all over my face

"Little Joey and me were friends and Mr.john didn't like that too much " he said looking slightly sad

Then he picked up the knife putting it to my neck again

"I think you know to much " he said in a deep tone

Maybe he's just messing with me maybe it's all a joke I thought

"P-please " I said

"I heard what jake told you we can't have any witnesses " he said

I felt a sharp pain in my stomach  the world seemed to stop for a minute like it was moving in slow motion. I yelled out in pain holding my side.

I removed my hand from the wound to see he had just stabbed me in the side

I breathed heavily and shaky wishing the pain would stop

He held up the knife going for my head

I quickly snapped it away he missed and the knife was stuck in the floor

I pushed him off kicking him hard in the face

I got up the wound bleeding out the pain shooting all through my body.

I jumped down the ladder landing on my face I got up running in pain towards the only place I knew to go

I looked back to see a dark figure standing in the moonlight

He had his head tilted slightly and hand the bloody knife in his hand

I ran through the woods as fast as I could I saw the house become bigger

I felt myself getting queasy and my vision started to blur

"Don't pass out, don't pass out, don't pass out" I repeated to myself

I used the energy I had left in me and sprinted into the door I saw axel standing there

His head turned to face me and dropped the glass he was holding causing it to shatter on the floor

I held the bloody wound looking down

My hands covered in blood

It had ran down my pants and was all over my shirt I looked up at the shocked crowd that had formed in the room

My vision started to go black and my legs weakened

"Axel" I whispered before my body fell limp to the floor

AXEL P.O.V

I woke up from my restless sleep with my head pounding

I stood up grabbing a pill I walked down the stairs quietly in hopes of not waking the others

I grabbed a glass turning on the faucet and getting water

I popped the pill into my mouth and took a swig of the water

Then the door burst open I turned to see Alex

He was holding a wound and his hands were covered in his own blood

Blood was sleeping through his shirt and ran down his pants

Blood dripped onto the floor his skin was pale and he looked frightened

I dropped the glass and it shattered on the floor I couldn't move my body was frozen in place

Everyone ran down their mouths wide open as they stared at my bloody mate

He examined his wound seeing all the blood

His eyes fluttered as he fought to stay awake

"Axel" he said before his body went limp on the floor

"Somebody get the doctor Ryan yelled running over and applying pressure to the wound everyone was running around to get help

I was frozen my legs physically wouldn't move from this spot

"Axel" Ryan yelled at me I looked over at him his hands were bloody

The doctor came in and ran Alex downstairs to the operating room

"Axel are you okay " he said looking for wounds

" I can't move " I said I looked past Ryan's head to see a dark figure standing in the doorway

It walked the other direction when it saw me

"Hey " I yelled running outside to see no one

"Axel there's no one there come inside I think you need to lie down " Ryan said closing the door and leading me upstairs

He laid me in my bed and turned off the light

"Sleep axel he'll be fine I promise" he said closing the door

The images of axel waking in kept replaying in my head

All the blood, and the fear of death on his face

I closed my eyes hoping to stop it but wouldn't

I sat staring at the ceiling thinking of my mate

I heard slow footsteps creeping towards my door I sat up my eyes adjusting to the darkness

The doorknob slowly turned and the door opened

I saw the shadow I saw in the doorway holding a bloody knife

Then he pulled Alex by the hair into the room

"Alex" I whispered my voice sounding like an echo he held Alex in a choke hold

Alex looked terrified

"Leave him alone " I said

I tried to get up but my body wouldn't move

The figure slowly guided the knife towards Alex's side

"No!' I yelled as he pushed the knife into his side

He yelled in pain tears running down his face

"No!" I yelled once more before sitting upwards in my bed

I breathed heavily looking around the room

I don't remember falling asleep but I must've

I looked at the clock to see it was 6:30 A.M.

I got up walking down the steps to the living room

Everyone was asleep I walked towards the hall that led downstairs

I stopped staring at the blood stained wood and sighed walking down the hall

I saw the lit room and walked in to see the doctor standing by Alex listening to his heart beat

"Hello alpha " the doctor said I gave a nod and looked at my mate

He was very pale and sickly looking

"How is he" I said walking next to him

"Well he only seemed to have been stabbed once he's stable and should recover in a day or two" he said

"Thanks Jim" I said he nodded walking out

I sat in the chair holding my mates hand and slowly drifted to sleep

.

.

.

I woke up to my watch beeping I groaned quietly shutting it off

I looked at my mate I watched as his chest moved up and down with every soft breath

I looked at the time to see it was 8 a.m

"Shit" I said as I ran to my room

I have a meeting with another pack at 9

I took a quick shower washing my hair

I got out and put on my buisness suit and fixed my hair

I ran downstairs to my car and drove to the pack meeting house

.

.

.

I got there right at 9 I walked in seeing the blood moon packs alpha, his beta, and his gamma

"Ah axel how are you " he said me and Tyler have been friends for as long as I could remember

He got up and hugged me

"So have you found your mate yet" he asked with a smirk

Then the images on my bloody mate ran through my head

"I have " I said resting my arm on his shoulder

"You should've brought her in so I could meet the lucky gal" he said the word her made me cringe

"Uhm well actually it's a guy" I said rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly

"Hey as long as your happy with him" he said Tyler always was an accepting guy

"Hey why don't you and your mate join me and Alyssa for dinner tonight" he asked

"Well my mate isn't exactly in a good condition right now " I said my voice in a serious tone

"What do you mean" he asked slightly confused

"My mate was attacked last night" I said he sat down in a chair and put his chin on his hands

I sat down waiting for a response

" Do we know who this alleged attacker is" he asked

I simply shook my head

" Well have you heard of the lone wolf pack" he asked I shook my head

"Well supposedly they had a well "sick" pack member and he killed his own brother"

"What do you mean "sick" I asked confusion and worry swirling around in my head

"Well he had split personalities and apparently he has many'' I was shocked

I'd only heard about that in one Werewolf case Amanda Stravinsky

She was a sweet girl only had one bad personality but not bad enough to hurt anyone

"So what happened to him" I asked

"He ran but they don't know where he couldn't have ran far but they said once they find him they're going to kill him"

I thought about the figure standing in the doorway

"What's his name " I asked

" John Howell" he said

"Do you think maybe my mate ran into him and he snapped " I asked anger filling my head

"He could have" Tyler said leaning back in his chair

"I need the number to the alpha of his old pack" I said a plan forming in My head

*A/n : that was supposed to be a cliffhanger I'm not very good at them but ya know whatever *
