"Running away from everything, can also mean running to something new..."
~present time~
"Mom how far is it? I am bored and sleepy..." Angel asks me with a sleepy expression, her eyes are almost closed.
"We have two hours until we reach the palace baby. You can sleep if you want. Mommy will wake you up when we get there." I answer and smile at her through the mirror.
"Are we going to meet our grandparents and our uncle?" Ethan asks enthusiastic me and I smile remembering that I will meet them again after five years.
"Yes my love. And not only them, you will meet with my cousins, uncles and best friends. You will love them." I reply and he gives me a sweet excited smile.
"Well... Their 'father' will be there too... Will you tell them?" Moira asks to piss me off and I growl frustrated.
"Do you want me to i***t? I can do it if you want." I answer back to her in a furious tone and she howls with anger.
"Don't you dare let this bastard near my pups! I will kill him in one second. I hate him! "She roars and I roll my eyes annoyed.
"Then stop trying to piss me off. We both hate him and we want him away from Angel and Ethan. If I could kill him believe me I would." I assure her once more.
She may hate him as much as I do but she keeps on making me angry. She wants to remind me my hatred for him. She wants me to remember what he did to me that night, how he was abusing me for almost seven months, how he broke my heart and me into pieces. She needs to be sure I will never fall for him again, I will never be afraid of him.
"Are you sad about Phobos? I know you liked him too Moira." I ask her with wary some seconds later.
"I am! He tried to protect us so many times, he was in pain all those months. He loved us Mira and we both love him. This monster does not deserve him as his wolf." She whispers and I can distinguish the deep pain in her voice.
I am sorry for him as well!
He helped us many times when Liam was getting out of control and he was abusing me seriously but Liam was always blocking him in order to continue.
We were in pain, me, Moira and him.
He was communicating with Moira asking from her to be patient the first months. After he saw Liam's behavior was getting worse day by day he was pleading her to pressure me leave away but Moira never told me. She is a proud wolf and she didn't want to leave him alone.
I still remember Moira's screams when everything was done between us, that day...
~flashback~
It has been almost two weeks since I came back to my pack with Cassie and Lily left again for the college three days later after she got sure we were both better.
Everyone was really worried when we arrived!
My mother was crying, my father was out of control just like my brother, my uncle, Colton and Dominic. Even Ralf, Cassie's brother who is 14 years old was frustrated and we tried a lot to calm him down, not to mention her parents.
We explained to them what happened to us and they got mad.
It is logical, my condition and what I suffered from Liam was a lot to take and Cassie's behavior wasn't helping them either.
They asked from us to tell them their names but we kept it as a secret. We had agreed and also by telling them their names would cause problems for our pack and our families. Liam is dangerous and James, his Beta and Cassie's mate could be the same so we didn't want to risk it more.
Colton, Dom, Paul and Ralf are never leaving our side all these days, they are extremely worried. Cassie and I insist on being locked in our rooms together, we stay in my room or hers all day every day, we are not eating or going out for any reason.
The only day I got out and she accompanied me was when I shifted for the first time on my 18th birthday.
This is another big story...
It was almost midnight and I was standing in the training field with my family and my friends getting ready for my first shift. I was really exhausted since Liam rapped me and I couldn't sleep, I was tired and I couldn't eat either, my body was weak and I was nervous.
I was waiting patiently, some more minutes and I would be able to see Moira for the first time.
My family was extremely worried and I couldn't understand the reason.
I suddenly felt my stomach and my heart burning and I kneeled screaming from the pain. It wasn't midnight yet, it wasn't my bones.
"Liam is sleeping with someone else." Moira screamed in pain.
The bastard knew about my birthday, he had a file with every information about me and he wanted me to suffer more, even then that I would shift for the first time without him.
I was screaming and shaking, I couldn't even breathe. Colton run to me and hugged me protectively but he made it even worse and I pushed him away from me. The pain was unbearable, I was in hell and soon it became worse... Some minutes later I felt my bones cracking, I was shifting and I was almost sure I would die.
Believe me you don't want to know how I was feeling!
"Get the doctor here now!" I heard my uncle screaming in agony.
"Hold on Mira. Let me take control, let me handle it!" Moira shouted and suddenly the burning was gone.
"What the...?" I tried to ask but Moira stopped me.
"He is in pain, he can't mate with her for now. He is feeling our pain. There is still the bond, he marked us recently." She whispered still in pain and I signed a bit relieved.
Some minutes later the pain was gone and I had almost passed out. I was almost done with my shifting, my eyes were closed and my breathing was back to normal.
"We are done. We shifted, well done my girl." Moira howled in my head and I opened my eyes slowly confused and dizzy.
Everyone was staring at me speechless... My parents were crying and everyone else except from my uncles seemed troubled. I got up with difficulty and looked at my paws, they were black and my fur was shining at the moon light!
"How do I look like?" I asked them through the link and Lily froze.
"What is it?" I asked again worried.
"Your size... Is... You are big like an Alpha Mira and more than that." She said shocked and I turned to look at my parents.
My mother was crying more than before, my father looked down avoiding eye contact with me just like Paul. My uncles and Colton were looking at me awkwardly, Lily, Dom and Cassie seemed confused.
"We have pure alpha blood in us." Moira whispered nervously and I gasped.
"Are you an i***t Moira? We have beta blood as well." I corrected her and she growled annoyed.
"Don't you tell me who I am!I am not wrong." She said through her teeth and I took some steps to my mother.
"You are just like him... Black fur and light green big eyes..." She said trembling and I got more confused than even.
I couldn't understand and I was way too angry!
What was she talking about?
I run behind a tree and shifted back to my human form. It was easy, I was informed how to do it and I had no problem.
I got a black long robe and wore it quickly, next I run to my parents and stared at them with wary.
"What are you all talking about? What was wrong with my wolf?" I yelled and my aunt came and hugged me gently.
She knew something, they all knew, all except from me!
I pulled away and walked to my mother again.
"Tell me." I demanded and she took a deep breath.
"I am not your real father baby girl." My father announced and I felt my heart stop beating, I began shaking and I fell on my knees with some tears falling from my eyes.
"I told you we are pure alpha's blood... I am sorry about the way you learn it Mira..." Moira whispered softly with affection and I tried to realize what I had just heard.
Who was my real father then?
------
After that night I am locked in my room, I try to precede all these things they told me that night.
My mother had met my father back at the private college some months before she met my 'father'.
They were friends with him and one night they got drunk. The next morning they woke up naked together. They weren't true mates, they hadn't marked each other. They decided to stay friends like before and forget about it since they were both waiting for their true mates.
My mother met her true mate, my 'father' some months later when she was about two months pregnant to me.
My real father and she had agreed to keep me, they never thought about abortion, they promised they would raise me together.
My 'father' accepted me and my mother when he learned what had happened and raised me as a real daughter.
My real father met his mate right after them but things went bad for him and my mother is not telling me more.
She is not telling me his name, who he is, what happened to him and where he is now.
I am mad at her, I don't talk to her, I need to know the truth and believe me I will.
So...
I did something bad but I needed to!
Last night I went to my 'father's' office and I searched for letters my mother had told me that my father had been sending her all these years to know about me. Cassie helped me a lot and I was lucky I found one letter with his full name.
His name is Jacob Adams and he is Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. His pack was here in America some years ago but moved to Australia 15 years ago for an unknown reason.
That's probably the main reason my mother is not telling me anything. I know I should have been angry with him but I am not for an unknown reason, I don't feel cold towards him and I want to see him.
Everyone is trying to avoid my questions and only Cassie is standing by my side and tries to help me find out more about my real father.
I talk with everyone except from my mom for the reason I told you above.
My 'father', Ryan is very sad and he asks for my forgiveness for a reason I can't understand. I explained to him lots of times that I am not mad at him and I love him like a real father, I adore him and this is never going to change. He is staying with me some nights because I have nightmares since the night Liam raped me.
My brother and Colton with Dom are spending lots of hours with me. I assured Paul that I have no problem with him as well and I will always be next to him as I did before, our relationship is never going to change for any reason.
Also my uncles knew the whole truth all these years and kept my mother's secret but I can't stay mad at them because I understand their situation.
The only things that have been the same is firstly Liam who is sleeping with other women every night and the secondly my nightmares.
The pain is like hell and I am tired from the lack of a good sleep. I tried everything but nothing helps me sleep peacefully, I always get up screaming and crying and someone is always sleeping with me to help me in times like these.
Right now I am sitting on my bed with Cassie next to me. We were crying earlier and now we are hugged and covered with a blanket giving courage to each other.
" I am going to accept his rejection Cas. And I will do it now." I announce her suddenly and she stares at me terrified and her face turns pale.
"Are you sure Mira?" she whispers with difficulty and I nod quickly.
I need to be done with him, I can't continue like this, I am tired!
Moira and I discussed about it and she agreed disappointed. She knows this is the best thing to do, she can't accept his behavior and hatred even though she loves Phobos.
I take a deep breath and close my eyes getting ready. I am strong and I can make it!
"I, Mira Anderson, Future Beta of the Greenwood Pack, accept Liam Holder's rejection." I say and I immediately let out a loud cry from the pain that travels all over my body beginning from my heart.
Moira's cries and screams are echoing in my head.
I am getting crazy! She is hurting like she is dying. My heart is breaking more because of her and less because of the bond's breaking. I can't stand it, I want to take all her pain away. She really loved Phobos!
I hear my door opening and Colton screaming my name panicked.
My parents and uncles soon join us and stay with me until my pain is gone.
I open my eyes some minutes later and lay on my bed slowly without talking. I am lucky I am still alive from all this pain the last two weeks, I don't want to pass through it again, I won't bear it!
I close my eyes and Cassie assures them that their suspicions are right and I accepted my 'mate's' rejection. They still want to know his name but this is never going to happen.
"Leave me alone with Cas." I whisper and after they stare at me for some more seconds they leave my room unwillingly.
The only thing my father manages to say before he walks out of my room is that he is proud of me and watching me like this is killing him.
I feel tears falling from my eyes and I want to cry again.
Cassie lays next to me and buries herself under the covers, it is warm and cozy and we need some rest.
Both of us fall asleep quickly after we cry again for a while unaware of the news Lily is going to tell us in some hours from now...
~some hours later~
"They are coming Mira. Our mates are coming here." Cassie shouts and shakes me violently to wake up.
I jump up scared and look around me in alert.
She is insane!
The hell they are! That's what they wanted from the beginning!
"Lily called me! Liam went back at the college earlier than he told you. She saw him yesterday night and he asked her about you. He wanted to see you. James was with him and he was asking for me. She told them we came here for some days and warned them to stay away from us. Today when you accepted his rejection some time ago he was training Lily's group. He got mad and he left the college with James quickly. He is coming here. We are done Mira!" She screams ready to start sobbing and I am ready to pass out.
He will kill everyone to get me and kill me. My family will die if I stay here and try to face him, he will start a war.
I stare at Cassie who is shaking panicked and try to gain my thoughts quickly...
He will be here in a few hours, I have to do something and Moira is howling frustrated swearing that she is ready for everything.
Yes! I found it!
"We are leaving. Get up and pack your things! Hurry up Cas." I command her and I stand up and move to my closet.
"What? Where to?" she asks me breathless.
"We are leaving to Australia! I want to see my real father and I think he is the only one who can help us now. If we stay here our pack is dead. Liam will kill them all." I tell her quickly and she nods almost lost.
"How are we going to leave without anyone sees us Mira? No one knows he is coming except from Lily that called to warn us." She asks me and Moira growls in approval of what I am thinking.
"I will carry you. Moira is ready. We will leave our territory and then we will travel with the bus. We will fly to Australia from a city away from here. It will be safer. I have money. My grandparents left me enough in my account." I explain and she nods quickly.
Yes, that's it!
We are leaving away...
