The Alpha and Luna’s Unbroken Destiny

Nothing but the truth, but not the whole truth.

Briar’s POV

We have been at Silver Lake for three weeks and, even though it’s not home, it is definitely the next best thing. This pack is HUGE, close to four thousand (yes I said thousands) people call this beautiful land home, and we have been welcomed with open arms (for the most part, that is). There is a very small percentage that like to make sure we know we are outsiders. It’s really only two families, the Milton's and the Baxter's, you know the type, lots of money, no class, spoilt idiots. Of course, the head of this little band of assholes is Crystal’s family. Her mother is actually more of a tramp than she is. How Luna Jenna keeps her s**t together when Mrs Milton is all over Alpha Jackson is beyond me. Crystal has a sister my age, her name is Diamond (do you see the pattern) and she is a b***h! The sisters and their friends walk around like they own the world. Jacob says that they are just stupid title sluts and will f**k anyone who has rank. Crystal sees herself as the next Luna but he says Xavier won’t touch any of them with someone else’s d**k. Jacob cracks me up. Every pack has such entitled people, it seems, and Blue Snow was no exception. Families that feel they are entitled to the best houses, cars etc etc just because they can. What annoys me is that they seem to be joining forces with each other. It seems that assholes are drawn to each other. My dad had never got on with the heads of the three families, he used to call them the three assholes. Jasper button, Julian Cline and Jenson Grey, all three were entitled pricks. Dad told me once that no one really knew where their money came from, they owned a construction company together. Before I was born, their company was in serious trouble. They had gone to dad for money. When dad refused to give them the amount they wanted, they got nasty, undermining my dad at pack meetings etc, then suddenly their money worries were over. Dad never knew how.

We have all been given a place to call our own, families have been given houses and unmated wolves have been given rooms in the pack house. Both Megan and Jedadiah’s families have been given pretty cottages next to each other and just across the drive from the pack house. As for me, the Alpha family have taken the caretaker position very seriously, and have added me to their family. I have been moved into the Alpha floor at the very top of the pack house. My room is between Xavier’s and Jacob’s and the brothers are very protective. My first night here, I woke in the night to find them both asleep on the floor outside my door. They said they thought I may have nightmares, cute right, although the sight of Xavier in just a pair of low slung sweat pants, leaving his muscular chest, arms and everything else, made me dream alright, very dirty dreams.

Alpha Jackson has arranged for my dad's bank accounts to be transferred to me, held in trust until I am 18, but I have been able to release some money to help support my people until they all find jobs. The pack owns the human town and most of the businesses, so any pack members who don’t want to be a warrior or work on the pack lands can find in town. There is no rush tho, the Alpha family provides for every pack member.

Xavier and Kaden will be leaving next week and I will miss them both. My friends and I have spent so much time with them, and Jacob and his friends Matty, Destiny and Hope, we have become a very tight group. Most of Xavier’s other friends don’t really want to hang out with a bunch of kids and would rather go to parties or clubs so they can get laid. They always invite Xavier and Kaden, but to my surprise, they both decline. I don’t know why but I am really glad.

At dinner last night, Alpha Jackson asked Xavier and I to meet him in the office this morning after breakfast. Xavier gave him a horrified look but agreed, and went straight to his room and I didn’t see him again. What was that all about? He wasn’t at breakfast when I got there, so I decided to link him,”Xavier, are you coming for breakfast? The food is going fast so I can save you some” he doesn’t reply right away and I begin to worry when his very grumpy voice hits me, “ I’ve already eaten, I do have other things to do, you know. I can’t spend all my time looking after you Briar." Well, that hurt, what the f**k have I done. “I never asked you to look after me Xavier, but I have received the message, load and clear. I will stop bothering you,” I refuse to cry in the middle of the dining room. So get up and headed to my room. “kitten liste” I cut him off. “It’s fine Xavier, there are plenty of other people for me to bother.” I block our link and composed myself. I am strong, I can handle anything he throws at me, I angrily swipe a a tear that escaped, wash my face and head to the Alphas office.

I knock on the door and heard “come in Briar”. I walked in and returned the Alphas smile “good morning Alpha", Xavier is sitting on one of the couches with his back to me, he stiffens when he hears my voice, d**k, the oracle sitting on the couch opposite him. I decide to join her. “Good morning oracle”, she smiles “ good morning, little moon”. The coffee table is filled with tea, coffee and juice, so I poured a glass of juice. The Alpha takes a seat next to his son. He looks nervous, “is everything ok Alpha?” I frowned at him, feeling a little anxious.

“Briar, I have something to tell you, something your father didn’t want revealed to you until you turned 18 and got your wolf. I am just struggling with going against his wishes, but I feel that circumstances have changed and it is time for you to be involved.” I look at him, I noticed Xavier staring at me and asked the Alpha “is this Blue Snow business? Or does it concern Silver Lake?” He looked at me confused for a second, so I continued, “if it is Blue Snow issues then there is no need for Xavier to be troubled by it, so we should release him to concentrate on his pack work.”

“BRIAR, don’t be petty, of course I should be here. I am going to be Alpha in a couple of years” I look at him “but not caretaker. That title does not get transferred. I will also be of age once you take over, so will be free to manage my own affairs.” Ohhh he is starting to get angry now “ for f***s' sake, just because I didn’t have breakfast with you this morning. You are acting like a spoilt brat!” The Alpha and oracle are staring at us with great interest, “and you have made your feelings very clear Alpha Xavier, you are far to busy to have to look after me, so please let me release you of your burden”

“You are overreacting, Brior.”

“That’s what spoilt brats do, Alpha.”

“You drive me nuts after one little spat you want to cut me out,. That's not how life works, kitten”

“Cut you out? We barely know each other”

“Stop being a b***h Briar”

“Stop being an asshole Xavier”

“ENOUGH!!!! What the hell is going on with you two? You have become so close. Why are you fighting all of a sudden? Do you need to take it to the training grounds, go a couple of rounds, draw some blood and get it out of your system?” The Alpha is giving us a look of exasperation.

“Now the oracle and I are going to the kitchen to get some cookies because you two have pissed me off my diet, so you can answer to Luna for that later, and while we are gone you are going to sort this out like the mature people I know you are”. With that, they both got up and left.

We sat there in silence for what felt like hours. I keep my head down looking at the carpet until I feel the couch dip next to me, “I am sorry kitten, I shouldn’t have taken my bad mood out on you earlier”. I am stunned. Alphas very rarely apologize first. I looked at him “I’m sorry too, it hurt that you felt I was being a burden. I don’t want anyone to feel they have to put up with me”, he took both my hands in his, “kitten. You will never be a burden to me. I just had a run in with some pack members this morning and they tried to make our friendship out to be inappropriate. It upset me and I took it out on you.”

I looked in his eyes. “why?” I asked quietly.

“Because my feelings for you are maybe not as innocent as they should be, and I am leaving next week and I know I am going to miss you more than I should.”

I stared at him, did he just admit to having feelings for me?’ Romantic feelings?

“I will miss you more than I should too”. I whisper quietly, he cups my face and puts his forehead to mine, we stare into each other’s eyes. I can feel his breath on my lips. He slowly moves his lips closer to mine, “We can’t Xavier, I promised myself that I would give everything for my mate,” he pulls away a look of disappointment on his face, but then he smiles a satisfied smile and kisses my forehead, “friends?” He asks, “family”. I reply and give him a big hug, which he returns and kisses my head, “family” he agrees.

A few minutes later, the office door opens a crack and the Alphas' voice calls through “have you made up yet? Xavier laughs and replies “Yes dad, we haven’t killed each other. The war is over”

They walk in with a tray full of cookies and cakes and sit back on the couch.

“OK, let’s start this again. Our story starts a very long time ago but we will start with the night you were born.”
