The first week of Cora and her group being here was torture for me, Alex was staying until late with her and explaining things to her and sometimes wouldn't come to sleep in the house. I was getting scenes of them somewhere in the middle of the forest and...my wolf was not happy with me. There were times when he did come sleep in bed and he smelled like her.
I buried myself in trying to help the kids coming in and phasing at too young of age, and with my kids and with Aaron who woke up and was found in the corner of the room, and scared. I was really focusing my mind and energy into him, but he wouldn't get anywhere near me, he's come to eat with us, but not let anyone near him.Not even Eden.
He wasn't eating, talking or anything much. if he did he's sneaking down for something to eat, what had they done to him? I even tried with my wolf but he would get very aggressive. Alex wasn't helping me or offering to, he was too busy with Cora, then one day I took some of the young wolves out, I really wanted them to push their reach, but I had to help them get under control. These kids were just too young for this responsibility.
Then one day I took them for a run, and the kids loved it they jumped and climbed it was fascinating to watch. As we started to head back I heard the men training and found that Alexander was there with Cora, who was in some leggings and a sports bra, she had a bomb body and she was laughing and having her hands all over my mate, and he was laughing and all back. I kept walking acting not to notice, until I heard me mentioned, not by name but by Luna.
"Does your Luna require guards or is she always such a loose canon?"
"She can defend herself, and rarely requires us to be around."
"I doubt that she looks so ...useless."
"Hey watch your mouth!" said one of the wolves to the vampire guard, then I felt all eyes turn to me and the kids.
"Hey, Liz?" I heard Jon call me and he jogged over to us.
"Yes, Jon what's up?"
"Care to show off your skills a little."
"What skills I suck."
"Stop being so modest, come on!"
Soon the kids wanted a demonstration, I sighed and headed toward the group of guys and women. I had worn a tank top, yoga pants, and running shoes for the run. I stretched a little.
"Okay who's ready for this?"
"I'll take a wack at ya." said Elijah
"I'm not taking it easy on you either." I said
"Not asking you to." he suddenly came at me, I knew he would, and was able to block everything and even did some flips and got in some hits myself, then I grabbed him and put him in a choke hold, he tapped my arm and I released him. He got off the ground and walked away, he barely made me sweat.
"Okay this was fun but I have other things to do."
They let me go and I headed back to the kids, and back to the orphanage and dropped them off. I headed back to the house and was just getting changed. When I turned and found Aaron standing right behind me.
"Hey, did you need something, bud?"
"No." I froze and looked at him, he spoke and his voice was raspy," where's Alexander?"
"He's still giving the vampire mistress a tour, he should be back later."
"okay." with that he walked away, like he was holding back from doing something.
I stared after him, and wondered what that was about, but I went to help Beth in the clinic real quick.
(Anthony's POV)
He's been there for two weeks and still nothing has happened, and his stupid uncle has the nerve to tell me that I beat the boy too much and it took too much time for him to come to. Imbeciles, good for nothing idiots, but no matter he was awake and trying to fulfill his mission which sounds stupid any better spy would've completed it all ready.
Once he kills Alexander, we can attack and that pretty mate of his was going to be mine along with all his power and followers. I longed for that day to happen, no more this bullshit of werewolves living at peace with the others, wolves were and will always be better then any other monster.
It's up to me to make that clear.
(Elizabeth's POV)
As I sat here with one of the kids, Tessa, she'd had an attack of some kind, she had tried to phase it didn't go well, I was scared because these kids had been left in my care I couldn't help them alone, I had rubbed that into Alexander's face and warned him to stay out of my business, but now I realized i had been in over my head. These wolves needed a firmer hand and an alpha to keep them under control.
If I had realized that maybe poor Tessa wouldn't be in the hospital half phased. It had almost killed her, she was stable but only barely. I took a deep breath and had already talked to the doctor, and her mother was here with her, who I had already talked to and she was beyond pissed with me. I couldn't blame her, so without a word I left the hospital and headed home. On the drive home I took a deep breath and realized I'd have to eat my damn pride and talk to Alex, if he''d even talk to me.
Once home I got down and headed inside, and found Emma. I asked where Alex was and they didn't know, I asked Rafael to use his mind link he did, but nothing. Screams of frustration erupted from me and I headed up stairs to our room. Then I heard something coming from Aaron's room and got closer to the door, and heard him talking to someone...but not in the room.
"I'm trying but he's never here....I know he wants me....okay!" he whispered harshly then jumped back on the bed and was quiet. I headed back to my room, where I found my twins sleeping and Eden was reading.
"Hey, you three what are you up to?"
"Nothing, mamma, I was reading and those two just fell asleep."
"Did you guys have a nice time at school?" I kissed Eden on the head, she nodded and continued to read. I checked the twins and Tomas woke up and looked at me, my son has always been very serious, hardly if ever showing any emotion, only his eyes would show what he was feeling.
"Mama, I don't like Aaron and he doesn't like me, he says I stole Dad away from him?"
"That's not true, buddy, Aaron's just been through so much, he's filled with so much confusion and anger, but once he's okay again he'll realize we all love him."
I felt a twinge of pain in my chest and it was sharp. I ignored it and checked Evelyn she was out. After a while I headed down to start dinner, and to wait to see Alex to talk with him.
We were just getting done with making dinner and setting the table when they came in and were laughing so hard, it made my insides turn in anger, making me forget about the impending discussion I had with Alex. Emma told him dinner was ready and he said he'd already eaten. I had worked really hard to get this ready and done for him, and he wasn't eating! I sat down fighting down the urge to punch him, but I helped serve and the rest of us sat down to eat.
After dinner I felt a little more under control, so I went up to our room and was ready to talk to Alex, he was writing something on paper. Slowly I walked in and sat on the bed across from him.
"Hey,..um could we talk?"
"Can it wait I have to leave in a few minutes."
"No, I really need you..."
"You need me that's a new one.."
"Yes, I do and if you'd listen to me, it's important."
"Nothing you can't handle I'm sure."
"Will you shut up and listen to me!?"
"Oh, right because that's the only thing I get to do when it comes to you, right I don't ever have a say on anything with you anymore, so whatever it is I'm not interested."
He got up and walked out of the room closing the door behind him, I could believe what he just did... did he just walk out on me? I felt tears run down my face. This was what I had caused and now I had no idea how to fix it? The pain in my chest felt sharper and stronger, leaving me breathless. I took in short breaths and just took it easy, what was happening to me?
( Alexander's POV)
I hate doing that to Elizabeth, but she had made it clear to me, that she didn't need me. she still underestimated me greatly, I had heard she was having troubles with the kids and I was looking into things too, I had already gone to talk to Tessa's mother and had fixed her so she could feel better.
The area Tessa and her parents were from was having a lot of violent attacks, wolves use to be beast born of violence, the more violence the better, even those that were changed by bite, the attack would have to be so violent and gruesome for the change to happen and even then it sometimes killed you. Our senses were so acute to everything, and the up rise of violence and danger, these wolves could sense something in that area, and they wanted to be ready to face it. Elizabeth was strong but she didn't have the power to control so many wolves at a time, I could help these kids phase at least once, but they're so young I had no idea how their bodies would handle it.
I had just gotten back from that area with Cora, and we'd found a few unexpected visitors, rouges and we had fought them off, and our team work had been so good, and I had made a joke of Cora joining the pack and she had laughed and made an other joke which had me laughing. I hadn't been hungry at the time either, and seeing Elizabeth's angry face, just made it harder to eat. I know what i was doing to her, but like a parent with a stubborn child I had to let her sweat, until it was the right time.
Honestly it was killing me to keep my hands off her, and having her so close. What kept my mind on track was the fact that I needed to find why these kid's wolves were acting so out of control and then maybe finally give Elizabeth some slack.
But for now she needed to learn.
(Elizabeth's POV)
The next morning I was in the training area, where they had punching bag and mats to some weights. I was really letting lose on the bag, until it finally broke.
"Easy there tiger!" said Rafael as he walked toward me.
"Not now, Rafael!"
"What just take it easy, poor bag didn't do anything."
I was breathing heavy, I was really filled with anger, and I needed to take it out on someone or some thing. The punching back was the only thing I could think of. Then I saw Alexander and Cora coming and Alex asked if anyone wanted to go on a run with them, it was going to be a far one, and it was going to go through the forest and the mountains. Everyone always told me to stop being so modest, well here was my chance. I walked up to them and so did Rafael, so it was Alex, Cora, her guards, Rafael, Ben and me. We started and I stayed by Rafael in the back. Once we reached the taller trees I jumped into the trees and jumped from tree to tree like some kind of ninja, then all too soon we reached the cliff side I dug in my claws into the mountain side and climbed up, the others following behind me, once on top I ran at full speed and jumped out toward the trees again, and landing on a tall pine, sliding down. Then ran again they were really trying to catch up with me but I wasn't letting them. Then out of no where I felt some one ram into me, and it threw me of course, I rolled a little then came to a stop, I was breathing heavy, and sweating and again the damn pain in my chest. I looked around feeling watched, then I heard the foot steps, and the others reached me.
"Hey, what happened?"
I looked around but the being watched feeling was gone. carefully I got up and shook of the dirt from my clothes and climbed out of where I fell in.
"What happened?"
"I'm not sure, but I felt someone for a second, s**t!" the pain shot into my chest, making me light headed.
"Elizabeth, you need to phase."
"You need to leave me alone!" i yelled at Alex as the pain hit me again, even if I wanted to listen to him, I didn't dare my wolf felt out of control and filled with too much hate.
"Maybe we should head back, for Elizabeth's sake." said Cora that only made my anger boil, but I shook my head.
"No, you guys go ahead, I'll head back and hopefully..."
"That was impressive how fast you are, I tried to catch up to you and I couldn't, maybe if you're up for it, we could have a friendly fight."
I looked from Alex to Cora and felt like I was being punked, but I shrugged.
"Maybe, I'll see you guys back at the house."
"Elizabeth!" I looked back at Alex," be careful."
"Always am." I said and jumped back into the trees and headed back to the town, once I was sure I was far enough, I let my wolf peek and it was nothing but anger and hate ten fold, I fought to control her and get her down again, it took everything in me to get her in again, then slammed the door shut on her and I could feel her trying to break free, I was right not to phase when Alex asked, but now I was afraid not even he could control my wolf.
