This week would make it a month sense Cora and her guards have been here. I stayed away from them even if it wasn't working. After our run, I had come home and the pain was unbearable, I figured out it was my wolf trying to gain control of my body, so I went to Beth. She just told me that I was feeling some strong emotions and if I didn't let it all out then the explosion of them could be worse. In my opinion it was more then that, this all started as soon as Aaron got back, that's seriously the time all the kids started going haywire with their wolves. I had no idea what to do with this and I had no idea if Alex would actually listen to me this time round, but the bigger question is why Aaron.
He has been distant, quiet, and a little aggressive toward all of us, but I haven't seen him around the kids. So the next few days I watched and took note of things that were going on. Tomas was really trying to help him, but I noticed Aaron not having it, bring him food or something to drink or inviting him to play. It was strange because you could tell Aaron was having an internal fight with himself, like something wasn't letting him be friendly and want to join in with the others. Even Eden would go talk to him and he'd explode on her, like she had betrayed him in the worst way possible.
Then one day he did a whole 360 he was offering Tomas something to eat, which something in me told me to take it, it was something simple like a cookie, or when we did Eden's birthday party, I had given him some cake and he went and offered it to Tomas, and glared daggers at me when I took it and handed Tomas an other piece. I couldn't smell anything, and couldn't notice if he had sprinkled something the frosting was white. After the party the pain in my chest was so bad, I even puked up what I had eaten that day. I was surprised with myself I wasn't that old and I hadn't phased until four years ago, but I didn't need to phase with the help of the moon, and now that I thought about it neither did my brother, everyone else did, Alex would take them out to hunt every full moon. I could control my wolf fairly well, for someone that didn't have a lot of time phasing, the moon helped but that was it.
Something...there was something my wolf was sensing, and I was missing it completely. Did it also have something to do with the vampires or was that all coincidence? For sure I was hating how much time my mate and husband was spending with her and that could just be adding on to my already angered beast.
So to get my emotions under control I started to go out to the pond and meditate away from everything, and it was helping, until I started feeling watched, but I ignored it. After I looked around but didn't see anyone. Then I felt it or rather him right behind me.
"Did you actually want something or are you just going to be watching me like some p*****t?"
The vampire laughed as he walked out from the trees. He was one of Cora's guards, these people really like wolves didn't age, but unlike wolves they "died" the way they did and there was no changing them, in this man's case a muscly guy and with dirty dish blond hair and based on their diet, his eyes were almost yellow, and really pale skin.
"And here I thought you were useless, you have really good senses for a she wolf."
"I wouldn't be Luna if I didn't, what do you want...."
"Liam, and nothing just trying to figure out what the Alpha sees in you, apart from being a smart ass."
"Wow, aren't you a charmer." I said in a sarcastic tone, but he kept looking at me.
"You'd have to be blind not to see it, power, a fighting spirit, beauty, and of course smart, any Alpha would be proud to have such a mate."
"and here I thought you were trying to blow smoke up my ass."
He shook his head and suddenly his glare became heavier, I felt it, his power and I could feel it's pull, but it was in my head not my body, then I looked away.
"Did you just try to enthrall me?"
"Yes, but only to see how right my mistress is."
"About what?"
"She has a theory, about you not sure about what exactly but she asked me to try and enthrall you to prove it, I am to report it back."
"What is she trying to see what makes me tick, and get Alexander to herself?"
He got the biggest grin on his face, he was amused by my jealousy.
"If my Mistress really wanted Alexander she would have him eating from her hand, but it's not from a lack of trying, like you Alexander is immune to her charms just as much as you are to mine."
"Who could resist you, with the charmer you are and the winning smile you flash, I would imagine girls lining up to get to you."
He did something else I could feel it as he walked closer, I didn't move as he got really close slowly placing a gentle cold hand next to my cheek, but as soon as he went for the kiss, I looked away.
"I've had my share of fighters, Liz, but none as interesting as you."
This time I did walk back, and glared at him.
"You haven't had me and you won't, your slimy words and cheesy smiles do nothing for me, it might have any other's knees shaking and getting them all nervous but not me."
"Why don't we test it?"
"How?"
"One kiss."
"No, what's that going to prove?"
"That there is no attraction between us, that wolves and vampires don't have any connections."
Everything in me was yelling at me, to get away from this man, but I had to admit what did it feel like kissing more or less a walking corpse, but then I felt like I was being set up. Then the answer came to me, even if these past few years our bond was closed down, but I could still sense my mate, he was suddenly watching. He wanted a show fine I'll can give him a show. It was my turn to really turn on the charm. I let my eyes wonder down and then very slowly bringing them up Liam's body. He wasn't bad looking but just too much muscle for me, but he didn't need to know that. Then I bit my lip sensually and looked at him from under my lashes, he actually looked nervous, then very slowly I walked back toward him, and touched his chest, he was very tall, about 6'1 or so, I ran my hands over this chest, I could feel his body reacting, then very slowly I brought his face closer to me, as he put his hands on my waist, he was inches away from kissing me when.
"You thought." I said and pulled away and walked away back to the house, as I walked away I heard Liam chuckle.
"Royal bitch." He said all I could do was grin to myself.
(Alexander's POV)
As she walked away relief washed over me, she had played it so well, and even when she was pissed off at me she still loved me.
"Wow, your mate really knows how to play."
"I told you, I've always had faith in her."
"Then I guess we'll have to do it the old fashion way."
"Which is?"
"Anger, she obviously is picking up something the sooner we find out what the sooner we can understand the reaction the children are having."
"You saw her at the run she's good just like you saw, but something felt really off, even when I asked her to phase, I felt it, its not her."
"I've only seen this in old wolves and you say she found out later she was a wolf, all the while her wolf was dormant."
"Yes, I've never heard of a wolf that could do that."
"Well, with your permission, I need a little of her blood, to know exactly."
"That's if you can get it, she's good when she's focused but she'll kill you when she's mad."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that."
I smiled at her, Cora has a talent from a couple of drops of blood she can tell a person's full blood line, it doesn't matter from where in the world you're from and from where your line is. We have a hunch but we need some of Elizabeth's blood to know for sure, and if that's the case then we would have an answer to a very big question. I've talked to Rafael but he wasn't even sure, he just knows what he's lived. Susanna really has these men in the dark.
We walked out toward the house, and to our luck Elizabeth was talking to Jon and Rafael, we both walked up.
"Liz, I would like to challenge you to a fight."
"I thought you were bluffing." she said.
"No, I wasn't, so what do you say?"
Elizabeth looked at me then back at Cora, then nodded.
"Where?"
We all headed to the training ring, we had made a spot where we could practice out fighting training, it's clean and it's big enough to have us around to watch. They got ready, both doing some fancy stretches and flips. I loved to see my mate so focused she looked sexy as all hell when she had that look in her eyes. We agreed five rounds or when they had to stop.
They stood at the ready, then Cora attacked first she had speed and strength, Elizabeth was able to dodge her well, and put in some of her own hits, Elizabeth threw her punches and all most every time landed well. but I could tell she was wincing her wolf was really fighting her to get out, but she could keep her in. when round two started it was a little more violent, Elizabeth really looked like she couldn't hold on to her wolf, but then Cora got her and I smelled blood, she had it. and tasted it.
"Prue blood." said Cora nobody else knew what that meant, but I did and it scared me.
Before I could call the fight down I heard laughing, and I felt wolf, I quickly got there but then Elizabeth knocked me back making me skid backward on my feet. She got up and looked right at me, it wasn't Elizabeth.
"Wolf." I whispered and I could feel Cora actually get scared.
Elizabeth's eyes were yellow and her teeth en longing and she had claws not nails, she ran at us and everyone watched stunned at how violent she was being, as snarls and growls filled the air. She came and came but every time I had Cora behind me, until an idea occurred and I called to Cora's other guard.
"Ava, get us out of here!" she ran toward us and I grabbed Elizabeth, and she teleported us some where else in was as far way as Ava could get, I thanked her and I told her she could leave. we needed to be alone.
She was gone just as Elizabeth jumped at her, before she could think of taking off, I opened out bond and let all my restraint fall, I thought of only her, she stopped and looked around to me.
"That's it it's just us here no body else."
I could see the wolf relaxing and feeling what I was, she quickly came other to me, and wrapping her legs around my waist and attacking me with hungry kisses.
"Mate." she said breathlessly and was ripping my shirt open, I pinned her to a tree as my hands adored her body, I had missed her so much, had fought so hard not to grab her and have my way with her around town. Her moans and gasps as I touched, kissed and nipped her skin.
"That's it beautiful, it's just us, scream and moan as loud as you want."
Her hands went down to my pants and slid her hand in, making me gasp.
"I want you, right now, I need you!"
She didn't need to tell me twice as she ripped the rest of my clothes off and I hers. I made love to her in every possible way I could think of just so she knew how much I loved and missed her, her moans, and screams filling me as if that was the only thing that would keep me alive. We got so lost in each other, by the time we took a breath and looked around it was late into the night.
"Wow, we should get into fights more often." she teased as we laid on the grass looking at the stars. Our bodies covered in sweat and sated. I kissed her shoulder and nipped her neck.
"Not for four years." I said, she gave me a sour smile, but she knew what I meant. A few more minutes and we headed back home, in wolf form.
