talking it out

2555 Words
Aiden POV We get to our floor and see Holly and Donna sitting on the floor outside our bedroom door. They both look worried, sat talking, until they noticed us. Holly and Donna have always shown us respect even before we took over the pack especially being mated to our best friends and high ranking weres of our pack but today was different the both of them got to their feet straight away, their necks bared to us. "what are you doing?" I ask confused as to why they are not inside the room with Alora "where is Alora?" Austin asks with the same confusion as me. "Alphas, Luna is in the bedroom but has locked the door. We can hear her crying but she won't let us in" Donna explained. It is definitely worse than I thought especially if she has locked Holly and Donna out. They are her best friends and she talks with them about everything. "OK, we've got her from here" Austin says looking at the locked door "ok, we are here for Luna if she needs us" Holly says looking at the door too "for anything. At anytime" Donna spoke and they both walked away. I quickly go to the living room and get our key that is in the hidden drawer of a side table. We unlock the door and walk in expecting to see our mate but she isn't here. I look towards the bathroom door and my heart almost shatters at hearing Alora crying. Kyn is trying to come forward and is angry 'I'll kill him for hurting mate' Kyn growled but I shove him back 'we need to be level headed to help Alora then you can get time with the bastard later' and as hard as it was for him to back down he went to the back of my mind. We immediately go to the bathroom, Alora needs us but when I try to open the door it's locked. I hear her crying stop, which is a relief. I'm sure though that once she hears it's us she will open the door. "Please, baby, let us in," I say at the same time that Aiden speaks " Are you ok?" but there's no answer from her, no unlocking the door but I do hear her sobs start again. What is happening. I thought that once she realised it was us she would come out. She is hurting and I want to comfort her. She shouldn't be this upset because she stood up for herself and there is nothing wrong with that at all. Yes I know she is the Luna and she takes her role very seriously but being Luna doesn't mean that she should put up and shut up, if she is attacked then she needs to stand her ground. Austin wiggles the handle hoping it's not locked and just stuck but that is wishful thinking especially when we hear Alora "Leave me alone." I never thought I would have heard Alora tell us that. I need to make sure she is ok and I'm also confused because it almost sounds like she is angry at us. Austin knocks again. "I don't want to talk to you, go away," yes she is definitely angry at us but I'm confused at why. I stand back and brace myself to kick the door open but Austin stands to block me 'what the hell are you doing?' he links me 'seriously? Alora needs us and this door is the only thing that stands in the way' I'm confused as to why he would stop me, he's as worried as me and I don't see the problem. 'you dipshit, she sounds angry at us. kicking in the door after she has told us to go away will only make it worse' he said like I'm completely stupid. 'ok so what do we do?' I ask frustration pouring out of me, I want to hold my mate in my arms so she knows I'm here but he shrugs his shoulders 'wait' was the only reply I got and it pisses me off. Really wait. f*****g wait. She could be hurt and he wants to wait it out. She needs to know we are here for her and how can we show that stood on the opposite side of a locked door. I hear movement, finally she will open the door. I wait but the door remains locked and then I hear what sounds like something wet hit the floor. Maybe clothes but why would her clothes be wet, I'm starting to lose my mind with worry. We wait and wait to the point that myself and Kyn are on edge "Please, let us in," Austin says through the door feeling as frustrated as I do but this time she doesn't answer, is she ignoring us. 'I have no idea why she would ignore us, we weren't here so I have no idea what she is mad about' I link Austin trying my best to think of what I could have done to upset her so much. 'maybe it's because she was attacked and we weren't here to save her?' Austin replied. We are both confused but whatever it is we will make it better. 'I don't think it's that because Alora handled herself. I have no idea what it could be.' The lock finally clicks and the door opens. FINALLY. As soon as the door opens and Alora is in view my hands reach out to touch her, to see if she is hurt and to take her in my arms so she knows that everything is OK but she dodges me. I feel a pain like nothing else lance through my heart and Kyn whines. "Don't" is all that Alora said, walking away from us and into the walk-in closet. I'll make him pay for this, whatever happened with him to make her not want us around her. 'He dies' Kyn growled. I'm so f*****g stupid that I have no idea who it even is. I didn't even ask. We both stay stood still outside the closet door. shocked that she didn't even want us near her, she rejected our comfort and I have no idea how to process it. 'what do we do?' I ask Austin hoping he can tell me but he looks as hurt as me. He doesn't even answer instead he shrugs his shoulders. We stay where we are in the hopes that when she comes out she will be ok and ready to talk to us. The door opens and there she is, my beautiful mate, her face is red and her eyes are wet and it tears me up inside. Why won't she let me comfort her. She needs us as much as we need her. "Alora, please." Aiden is the first to speak but we get nothing, just a freezing cold shoulder. I don't understand what is going on. she won't even look at us. instead she walks past us and begins drying her hair. 'I don't understand what have we done?' Austin links me and I'm just as stumped as him 'I have no idea' 'well everything was fine this morning' I agree it was so what has happened since then. 'we need to fix this, I'm dying inside and so is Xav' and again I agree 'me and Kyn too' It sounds crazy I know but I miss her. I want to fix everything for her but I can't do that unless she tells me what it is exactly. 'we need to fix this so we need to stand our ground until she talks to us' I state and Austin gives me a small nod of his head 'agreed'. We wait some more while she does what she needs to. Alora stands and turned, but this time we don't move out of my way. "Are you ok?" Austin asks but she is still blocking us and keeping us out. "No" just NO, no explanation or anything, if I'm being honest I'd say she doesn't even want to talk to us and that hurts. "talk to us please," I beg and try to reach for her, Kyn is going wild in my head to touch her so she knows we are here for her bit again she moves back out of our reach. Kyn howls and blocks himself in the back of my mind, he is struggling with our mates rejection. "Talk to you? Are you serious?" she says looking at us in disbelief "yes," Austin answered "Really.. you both blocked me out. I had no idea if you were both alright or even where you were. Then I found out you had gone to the rogue camp. You could have linked me to give me a heads up, but no, I had to find out from someone else." she explains full of hurtand anger, but why is she mad about that, we are the Alphas of this pack and we have to protect it always. "we had scouts missing. We had to go search for them, " I explained, knowing once she understood why she would be OK and not be angry with us but it seemed to make it worse. "That is even worse, we are supposed to be leading the pack together, I guess not," she says with a few tears dropping from her eyes, but why would she think that and why be upset over us leaving. "We knew you had a list of things you were doing toda-" but Austin is cut off with a glare I've never seen on our beautiful mates face before. She must be really pissed at us, "a list of things.. I should have been told firstly that you were off territory, so I knew that I'd have sole responsibility for the pack, and secondly, so I knew you were ok and was actually going to blocked me so I wouldn't worry." Oh OK I understand now, she is pussed because she would have had sole responsibility for the pack but its OK because she didn't "we asked dad," I said now hoping she would finally be OK but what happened next almost floored me. She growled at us but it wasn't just Alora, Veda was angry at us too, so angry that Kyn came from his space to see what the growl was and when he noticed it was our mate he laid on his stomach with his ears flat to his head. I've never seen that before. EVER. "WHAT.. ASKED YOUR DAD. I'M LUNA, AM I NOT?" she shouted and honestly I've never seen her so angry, especially directed at us. but before I could think of anything to say Alora talks "At least I know where I stand." she is heartbroken and it kills me. why would she be angry with us for dad stepping in. Her block lowered and when her emotions hit me it tore me up. I tried to comfort her again but once again she wouldn't allow me "Don't" she almost sobbed and pushed past us, and left the room. It takes me a second to gather myself and follow her out. I plead with her to stop and let me explain and so does Austin but it falls on deaf ears. We walk in as mum is hugging Alora who was sobbing. Mum shook her head at us as we made our way to them. Greyson and Gage excused themselves and closed the door behind them. "You know you have nothing to be sorry about?" mum said "I shouldn't have attacked him, Caria, " our mate says and I feel nothing but shame and guilt through our link. "He's lucky to be living," Austin growled out, saying exactly what I was thinking. "Darling, he attacked you. You were just defending yourself and a pack member." mum explained. Mum has a nack for making you feel better and I hoped it helps Alora because she has nothing to feel guilt over and then we can move forward and she won't be angry at us anymore. "Yes, at first I did, but I got lost in my own head. All I could see was Sid. I didn't realise how far I'd gone until it was too late and I was being pulled off of him," I can't hold in our growl at the mention of Sid. The f*****g scumbag. "Darling, even if you had been lost in your own thoughts, you gave him way lighter punishment than I would of. He attacked a she-wolf, and then he attacked you, he would have been dead if I was stood in your place," mums words were true, she would kill anyone that meant her harm but she would destroy anyone that threatened her pack especially she-wolves and pups. "I thought I had disappointed you and added what these two did. I thought I had failed as Luna," Alora explains peaking mums attention "What do you mean?" she asked, "they left the territory because 2 of our scouts had gone missing and didn't even tell me, then they blocked me. They asked their dad to look after the pack, " I knew we were in trouble, mums whole demeanour changed and was now in the very pissed off mum mode. s**t. "You pair of t***s. Seriously? What were you three thinking? " she asked, fuming at us, including dad 'you f*****g idiots. you're on your own' dad linked us "What? I didn't do anything," dad said in disbelief "Why didn't you notify Alora?" She asked dad but I knew he wasn't going to go against mum. "I assumed these knuckle heads had already told Alora," mum nodded her head "ok your forgiven. This time," she says, and dad was relieved "As for you two, what in the name of the goddess were you thinking?" She directed her anger solely on us. s**t. "We weren't thinking, and we are sorry, honestly," Austin said while I nodded in agreement. "You must understand why Alora is upset. You left without any word and blocked her. Imagine if she had done that. How would you feel?" Again I could hold in my growl. "I needed you both, and I couldn't find you, I couldn't reach any of you," Aloras voice thick with emotion. "I'm so sorry, it was never intended to hurt you my love, honestly" I walked closer yo her but kept my hands yo myself. "I don't even know why we asked dad. maybe it was because dad had brought the issue up this morning or maybe because it's our first mission as such since becoming Alphas" Austin explained and I think he's right "we would never hurt you on purpose love honestly, we promise to always keep you in the loop in future" I say feeling terrible now I fully understand why she was mad at us. "you're and amazing Luna and we are so sorry if we made you doubt that" Austin says and she finally nods her head. and pulls our tops to her. Finally we get to hold her in our arms and bring her comfort. Kyn is yapping in happiness in my head. "Ever do that again I will not be so forgiving.
