Ava’s P.O.V
I was outside enjoying the cool breeze and I often came here when Isaiah was with his father working in the office or when I wanted some alone time. I loved the outdoors and had been on every nature trail I could find. Isaiah told me that he had given the Alpha title back to his father, that he wasn’t ready to take it on just yet and that he wasn’t ready to become the king of the mafia, which I was quite relieved about because I really wasn’t ready to become the queen of the mafia just yet either. Right now he was up in the bathroom, taking a shower, so I decided to come out here and take a look around, but then I saw Holly’s car pull up and I knew right away that something was off. The way she slowly got out of the car and the swell of her eyes told me that she had been crying, so I rushed right over to her and hugged her.
“Holly, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” I asked, worried, but then she shook her head and the tears started to fall again.
“No, it’s really not, but if I tell you, I need you to promise not to tell Isaiah any of this, not until I know for sure.” Holly replied and I quickly nodded.
“I swear on my life that I won’t say a word to him until you are ready.” I said and she nodded. She took a deep breath before telling me everything about Shane thinking that he saw Cheyenne and how she might be alive, that as soon as Selena or Anna found Shane they were going to talk to him and then look this woman up.
“Wow, I really wasn’t expecting that, but what are you going to do?” I asked, unsure I wanted to hear the answer.
“If she really is Cheyenne and she is alive, then I will walk away and let them be together. It's going to be hard, really hard for me and our daughter, but what can I do? Cheyenne was and still is Mercury’s first mate, his first soul mate, his first love and the mother of his children. I’m just his second chance mate.” Holly replied, but I shook my head and held her tightly.
“Holly, you don’t know for sure that it is Cheyenne, it might just be a look alike or a supernatural creature that someone is using to lure Mercury. I never knew Cheyenne and I understand that you are upset, but you need to understand that he loves you. You have been with him through so much, so try to stay calm until you know for sure. Now, take a deep breath and let it all out. From what I heard Shane left to go find his mate and he said that he wouldn’t be coming back until he had found her, so we are out of luck on this, but all we can do is look around ourselves and see where it leads us to. I promise that I won’t tell Isaiah or Mercury, not until we all know for sure. You and I are the newcomers of this pack compared to the others, so we will do this together, until then go to the bathroom, clean your face and go to bed. Mercury should be asleep by now because I saw him go upstairs over an hour ago.” I said and Holly nodded.
“Thank you, Ava, thank you for being a friend. The sooner we find out the better because I honestly don’t know how long I can keep this from him. Right, I’m going to head upstairs and because Mercury’s a heavy sleeper he won’t even know when I climb into bed.” Holly said, chuckling a little. She hugged me once more and then headed into the pack house, while I stayed outside. I took a deep breath and tried clearing my mind of all the things that Holly had just told me, then I went upstairs to our bedroom. I don’t know how the hell am I going to keep something like this from Isaiah, but one way or another I would.
Mercury’s P.O.V
I had been sitting in the chair for over an hour and I started pacing up and down when I heard Holly’s car pull up and then she came into the pack house, but that was an hour ago and she still hadn’t come up to our room. My wolf, Asher and my lycan, Shadow, were going nuts in my head, angry and worried that she was pushing us away. How dare she do this without even talking to me about it. Who the f**k cares about any of this, it might not even be Cheyenne and if it is then yes, it would be hard to deal with. Hell it's already hard just thinking about it, but I have Holly and I love her. I tried to calm myself down as I stopped pacing the floor and then I sat down, hoping it would help cool me down. I didn;t want to scare her when she came into the room, but my wolf and lycan were still brewing a storm in my head.
“Will you both shut the hell up, I will handle this.” I said to them and they both went quiet for a few seconds.
“She’s coming up the stairs.” Shadow said and I quickly turned off the lights, wanting her to think that I was asleep. I tried hard not to tap my foot on the floor as I waited for her to come in. I watched her as she finally came into the room and shut the door behind her, but then she slowly and carefully went straight to the bathroom, trying not to wake me up. I guess she wanted to change and use the bathroom, but as soon as she came out I stood up and turned the lights on. Holly jumped a mile in the air and I tried hard not to laugh at her. I needed to remember that I was angry at her for what she was doing.
“So, you think that you need to distance yourself from me and not even give me a choice in all of this. You just assume that I would be alright with this. Do you think that is fair to me? I heard your conversation with Shane, how long did you think that you could hide this from me?” I asked, stepping towards her, but as I did she backed away from me. I was sick of this, I was sick of her putting distance between us, so I grabbed her and looked her dead in the eyes.
“We both know that this might not even be her and if it is then why hasn’t she come to me or the kids. Whatever is going on, it does not give you the right to back yourself away from me, we are mates and I won’t let you do this s**t. I won’t allow it. I will not lose another mate because of bullshit.” I said, pulling her close and smashing my lips onto hers, kissing her hard. Holly tried to push away from me, but I just held onto her even tighter before breaking the kiss.
“Holly, you are not going anywhere, sweetheart.” I whispered to her as I pushed her on the bed and ripped her nightgown off. I let her lay on the bed for a few moments and just looked at her, really looked at her. This woman was beautiful and she had put up with my mourning, my crying and throughout it all she had been there for me and now she had the nerve to try distancing herself from me. This is not going to happen, not now, not ever. I tore through my clothes as I took them off and then I got on top of her and pulled her close. I looked into her eyes and all I saw was her, the love of my life. Yes, it was going to be harder for us now because there was someone out there that looked like Cheyenne or it could even be her, who knows, but I won’t let Holly go. I leaned down and buried my head in her neck, then I bit down, marking her as mine once more. I wanted to make it clear to her that I loved her, that I wanted her, that I needed her and that she wasn’t going anywhere.
