Zoey's Point of View
I led my mate and the child's mother into the lair and the moment the child's mother saw her daughter she ran to her and began to sob.
"What is happening to her? Why is she not breathing?" She screamed at me.
I walked over and looked at the child and smiled. "She is transitioning."
"Transiting into what?" Her mother demanded.
"She is half vamipre. Her body is ready to accept her vampire side."
"That can not be. You killed her," She screamed and shoved me.
"If you're a wolf, then her father is a vampire."
"My mate is her father. That is not possible. You killed her."
I closed my eyes and squeezed my hands into fists, allowing my nails to break the skin in my hands. I could feel the warm liquid of my blood begin to slowly flow down my hand.
"She is not dead. I can promise you that."
"If she is transitioning and her mother is stating that her father is a wolf, then how would this happen?" My mate asked as he put his hand on my shoulder.
I looked at him and then at the child. "Did you sleep with anyone before you found your mate?"
"How dare you." She screamed.
"Carol, she needs to know," my mate said.
Carol looked at me as she held her daughter and said, " I met him the day I got my wolf. I have been with no other."
"Then how is this possible?" My mate asked.
I stood there for a moment and began to think. There was only one thing I could think of.
"May I try something on you Carol?" I asked.
"What?"
"I need to see if your memory was tampered with. Vampires have many abilities and if you came into contact with one and your mind was wiped, that could explain why your daughter is a half bred."
"I have only been with my mate. I don't need you placing false lies in my head," She snapped.
"I understand, but that is the only way we are to know the truth."
"The truth is you have killed my daughter." She screamed.
I looked at my mate and said, "I have had enough of this. You all can either believe me or leave my lair and currently I want everyone out."
Before he could say anything, Carol said, "I am taking my daughter with me."
I closed my eyes as I felt my anger rise. "If you take her out there your risking everyones life."
"You killed her and she deserves to come home. Not stay with a monster like you."
Suddenly, the anger in me began to bubble over and I felt the magic in me swell. "I want you out," I yelled, and allowed the magic in me to flow out. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke began to fill the room and once the magic stopped flowing, the smoke disappeared. It was just the child and I in the room. No mate and no Carol. I walked over to the child and sat down. I leaned against the dirt wall and closed my eyes.
Xavier's Point of View
I felt the energy inside her and before I could do anything, black smoke covered my body and I was suddenly outside. Carol began to scream again and fell to the ground while hitting it.
"Why is she doing this?" Carol screamed as she looked at me. Her face was puffy, red and covered in tears.
"I am not sure," I said.
My wolf was angry because he could no longer sense our mate, but I knew where she was. She was in her lair.
'Why does she hide from us?' he asked.
'She is overwhelmed.'
'Then we take some of that burden from her,' he said with a demanding tone.
'I can not. She won't allow us in right now.'
He growled in my head. This situation was turning into a s**t show.
"Carol, we need to give her time. If everyone keeps pushing her, she will close everyone out and we will not get the answers we need."
Carol stopped hitting the ground and looked at me. "I just want my daughter."
"I know. Right now we know where she is. Lets give it time."
She whipped her face, smearing dirt on it and nodded her head.
"I need to speak to my father. For now, go and eat, clean yourself up and try and calm down. Lets not push her too much. We need to get the pup back."
"Yes young alpha," Carol said as I walked away. My mate and I were supposed to meet everyone by now but I have a funny feeling she will not be attending.
I walked into the alpha's office and the room was full. The packs alpha, beta and gamma were there, not including my father and the beta to the pack. On top of that, the council members were there.
"Where is she?" My father asked.
"I don't think she is coming. Carol and her got into it and she sent us away."
My father growled. "What is she to you?" He asked.
"My mate." I calmly said as I leaned up against the wall furthest from him.
"I won't allow it."
"No choice there, dad. The Goddess herself chose her for me."
Just as my father's mouth opened, a council member said, "We will not allow you to become alpha if you mate with her until we know what she is."
"That is fine. The title means nothing to me and from what I got from her she is half vampie and wolf."
"Crossing of species is forbidden. She is a danger and risk."
Suddenly all hell broke loose because argueing and fighting starting to happen. I just stood there and listened to all of them. At this point there was nothing I could do. I could not calm there fears, help Carol with her daughter and my mate seemed to be cracking at the seems.
While the verbal sparing in the office continued Zoey pulled out her phone and tapped on the one number she was forbidden to use unless it was an emergency. The phone rang twice before a voice came through. "Yes?"
"I need him."
"Where are you?"
"The moon forest pack."
Sudeenly the phone line went dead and she laid down on the ground and closed her eyes.
