Chapter 42.
Location; Red blood pack.
Damien's POV.
"Huh?, an artificial mate bond?" I ask confused.
An unnatural and man made mate bond not of the moon goddesses generous gift?.
Is such abnormality and abomination even possible?.
"Yes you dummies, an artificial mate bond!".
"Drake met up with Diego who resides at the packs boundaries. He made Diego develop a rare magical concoction constituting of drake's blood and my furs and when injected into Nia we both experience love like sparks similar to an actual moon goddess mate bond" Ryker explains.
Ryder and I go numb and dumbfounded.
Drake really did that?.
He'd really gone too far.
Defying the moon goddess sacred gift all yo acquire the alpha throne?.
That's pure bullshit!.
Red blood pack can never be in safe hands when under rulership of a king who cares about himself alone and will indirectly challenge the moon goddess to achieve his selfish desires.
"I need you dummies to stop him at all cost!" Ryker harshly request.
"Quit the dummy word!" Ryder protest, I chuckle.
"How are we to stop him?".
"There's no way to prove his mate bond with Nia is artificial neither will kidnapping Nia stop anything. He'll immediately discover me as her kidnapper and everyone including the kingdom I love so much and wish to rule will turn against me" I complain.
I hear Ryker sigh up my head.
"Ameatures" he mumble.
"Think like the dumb alpha you are!" Ryker rages.
"Drake can be exposed using blood combination " Ryker explains, I smile.
Blood combination.
It's an act done to truly determine strength of a shared mate bond.
It's rarely used nowadays since everyone strongly believe in the moon goddess and her perfect mating technique to grant everyone the mate of their close range desires.
Really bad it has to be involved in such abominable case involving the royal household.
Blood combination actually involves combining blood of both parties ( male and female claimed to be mates ) and the results determines actuality of their shared mate bond or not.
When both blood successfully combines to bore bluish flames, mate bond shared by both mates is confirmed to be true and moon goddess approved.
If other wise with no perfect flaming combination, the coexisting shared mate bond is confirmed to be quite untrue and not fully approved by the moon goddess.
Such huge shame and disgraceful scar it'll be to the royal family that one of members mate bond has to been determined using a rare and supposing long forgotten technique.
"Blood combination huh?".
"That'll likely perform the desired trick" I admit but Ryder growls within me.
I feel his rage and distrust building up from within me.
"I'll say it to your your very hearing Ryker but I don't trust you!" Ryder angrily airs.
I sigh.
Here we go.
I face palm myself.
Took Ryder long enough though.
I expected he protect at the first stage of the conversation but he suprisingly waited to hear Ryker out.
"Where's that heading towards?!" Ryker up head forcing me to flinch.
How unfortunate can I be?.
I've got two all powerful alpha werewolves growling and raging up my innocent little head.
What in the world could be worse than that?!.
"I clearly don't trust you Ryker" Ryder repeat.
"You and Drake have both been huge unbearable pain in our asses".
"You've both caused Damien and I huge pains".
"You've threatened us, spied on us, threatened our mate, sabotage our lives and ruined majority of our chances to easily acquire the alpha's throne".
"You both were even the evil back bone to this untrue trial day's for a mate before one can acquire the alpha throne".
"You both performed all these evils and attrocities all to get a chance at the alpha throne".
"Now you've both acquired your desires. You've gotten a chance at the alpha throne and not only that, but won the mate trial day's and out of the blue you singlely emerge to seek our help in stopping drake over an artificial mate bond crisis?".
"That's really not suspicious?" Ryder scoffs.
His rage boils and climbs higher.
He rage forces I growl unwillingly.
He's gradually stealing control and forcing I shift but I stop him not because he's actually right and we've both got every right to be extremely angry.
Ryker and Drake have both made our lives a living hell.
Ryker unexpectedly requesting our help sure seems weird and schemed.
Ryker sighs.
"It's undeniable that Drake and I have both performed numerous evil activities against you both all with the aim to acquire the alpha's throne".
"Well, am not sorry and judge me not. All I wish and desire for myself and my master is to become the major alpha over other alpha's "
"It's every wolf's dream to become ruler and superior over any particular pack. It's your dream Ryder and it's also my dream and I'll perform anything to acquire that dream".
"But forcing I experience an artificial mate bond not of the moon goddess?. Nope!. That's a huge line cross and I won't condole it, not even from Drake my supposed master".
"Never will I forcefully share a mate bond with a none mate when mu actual she wolf is out there somewhere!".
"All I request is Damien help me stop him. Informing you all is the best I can do as a werewolf consciousness".
"Damien alone is Drake's only rival who matches up against him"
"Damien need stop him by exposing his artificial mate bond then everything return's to normal".
"Our rivalry will continue and I'll definitely acquire the alpha's throne but with my actual moon goddess chosen mate besides me" Ryker finslises.
Deaf silent returns to the room.
I munch on my lips then on my fingers.
Well, if Ryker's words turns out to be true and not false, exposing Drake's artificial mate bond will also have certain benefits towards me.
An exposed artificial mate bond will portray him entirely disrespectful to the moon goddess and unfit for the alpha's throne before the people.
Exposing Drake may likely be the key to end our heated rivalry and a chance for my acquaintance over the throne after all if Drake appears untrustworthy for the throne no other option but to award the position to me is left.
My current plan may sound quite devious and manipulative but I care less.
I've been used and misused multiple times.
A one time trial definitely wouldn't hurt.
I subside raging Ryder then break the long suspense filled silence.
"Yes, well help stop Drake" I air.
Ryder snarls within me.
Ryker remains untrustworthy to him and he's concreted on not rendering any assistance.
I same same untrustworthiness towards Ryker and his words but few gain's are present from assisting him.
Am after the gain's alone which remains the alpha throne, nothing more.
"T..th... thanks alot" Ryker reluctantly mumbles.
I chuckle.
"Drake is eager and impatient to acquire the alpha's throne so he'd already informed the council elders of his mates discovering meaning he may be crowned tomorrow or the day after".
"Just be prepared!" Ryker warns, I nod.
Ryker really is serious to sabotage his master's perfect, long desired and finally achieved master plan.
He must really be pained over Drake's meddling with artificial mate bond.
It probably knocked a vengeance nerve within him.
Well it's normal.
Any wolf would definitely be angry if forced to feel and experience an untrue mate bond not of the moon goddess.
I only hope this is no plan of their to ruin me further than they already have.
"Am without enough time".
"I need head back before Drake brew akward suspicions which may likely ruin everything" Ryker's snarly beastial voice gradually fades.
I exhale in relieve, Ryder snarls.
I laugh lowly.
He best be left to work on his anger alone.
But Ryker's words and Drake's actions really are crazy.
An artificial mate bond all to acquire the throne?.
That's a hundred and ten percent madness.
I deep down knew his mate discovery within few hours into his awarded time was to good to be true.
It really felt staged and unnatural, thanks to an unnaturally made bond.
Drake seriously defies and abuses the moon goddess all in pursuit of his desires.
He really can be the demon wolf over his desires.
Anyways I need prepare for tomorrow or the next for the council elders arrival.
Thanks to Ryker's latest news am less broken over my trial day's ending.
Another pathway to acquire the alpha's throne is finally agape and I need grab it.
Kara herself is an essential personnel to my new throne acquaintance.
I need get her back.
I'll adhere Ryder's advice, apologize to her and ensure she wholeheartedly accept me as before.
I need get my mate bad!.
I dive through my window towards the woods with hope of finding Kara at our usual lake spot.
She's aware today mark's my trial day's end so there's every possiblity she awaits my arrival or not.
I sure hope she does.

Drake's POV
Location: Drake's personal bedroom.
"Ryker!" I call out then sip from a bottle of whiskey.
Everywhere remains silent with no sign and without Ryker's aura.
Guess he's still pissed over my creation of an unnatural mate bond without his consent.
Typical him!.
I groan loud and long then place the whiskey bottle on my bedside stool.
"You're gonna rendin mad at me for enternity or what?".
"Pull down our conversation barrier and talk to me!" I order but he remains.
I huff slightly pissed.
He's got some nerve totally ignoring me.
Am pretty sure he clearly hears my word but abstain from response due to his set up barrier
"Ignore and rare all you want Ryker, the plan remains in motion!".
"Nia will portray as our mate, serve as my one way ticket to then alpha throne then I'll dispose off her?".
"Your rage changes not my mentality!" I clarify.
I feel his raging aura gradually arise but he maintains the barrier and remains silent.
"Anyways, I've informed the leader of the council elders. He'd promised their visitation to be tomorrow."
"Isn't everything moving swiftly and smoothly as planned?!" I chuckle happily.
He finally break down the conversation barrier and let out an angry threatening grown.
I smile victoriously while sipping from my refilled whiskey glass.

Location: red blood pack
Mrs Dark (Roselines) POV
I closely watch Nia walk off with her assigned maids towards any specific available bedroom.
I sigh then head towards my room.
I walk up to my cosmetic stand.
I pull off my circular earring then place it within it's box like lock.
"It's fake isn't it?"
"Drake's mate bond with Nia is unnatural and artificially made right?" Lydia my wolf airs.
I roll my eyes.
She finally introduce the conversation I wish to avoid.
I reluctantly nod.
She giggles.
When hugging Nia, Lydia and I could literally feel how artificial and unnatural her so called mage bond with Drake felt.
It felt extremely weak and not deepened as compared to frequently felt mate bond.
Though their collision brews mate sparks but it's all a facade to cover the bonds artificial nature.
It's undoubted Diego must've assisted Drake in his artificial mate bond creation, after all Diego is the only known werewolf capable of creating such with his crazy experiments and chemicals combination.
To even think drake would go this far to attain the alpha throne really is deep.
My boy's are literally something else.
"There should be no need visiting Diego for an artificial mate bond for Damien and another she wolf right?".
"Drake's acquaintance over the alpha's throne will definitely handle everything and make Damien loose any purpose and interest in Kara this preventing her arrival into this royal cottage!" I propose but Lydia snorts in disapproval.
"Pretty obvious you know not your boy's pretty well Roseline" Lydia claims, I sigh.
What does she mean I know them not.
Am definitely their friend, sister and closet companion except their wolf.
"Damien may be defeated but he wouldn't back down so easily. He'll wish to battle Drake head on for the alpha's throne and that can only be done using his mate which remains Kara".
"Still creating an artificial mate bond for him remains essential because when he feels a sense of attraction towards a she wolf who has an inner wolf, not a huntress and will easily be accepted by the pack, he'll immediately let go of Kara and go claim her"
"Our mission will be successful if that occurs!".
"Never deviate from the mission Roseline".
"Kare must never make it into this royal cottage!!" Lydia warns and I nod.
