Midnight Visitor

1. Intro

Esme POV:

The memory keeps playing in my head, the pain keeps burning me from the inside and I don't know how to make it stop. I throw my glass at the wall hearing it shatter does not make me feel any better though. I close my eyes and run my hands through my graying hair but then I stand up and throw the chair I am sitting on at the other wall. Breaking the chair and the wall a little bit. I scream my lungs out and I kick the kitchen island. I can scream here. I am not living in the main house anymore. I live in the house outback that my daughter had specially soundproofed. I could not live in that house any more. I stop kicking but not because of pain from my leg nor my lungs but because I know it is useless.

I see his face.

I feel his touch ever so lightly.

I hear his voice.

I scream again, closing my eyes so I don't see him nor hear him.

That day has not stopped torturing me! I hate him!

Flashback.

The sun was out, I was in our office finishing all the papers for the ceremony. Ariel was taking over the pack from her dad so me and him could have a little time for ourselves. She aced her two years in the werewolf academy and we all know she is ready for this responsibility. I however wanted her to find her mate first but she insisted, since she did not find him/her in the academy then she just wanted the person to find her. She has so many ideas for this pack. Her and her father have had some fights about her changes but in the end he can never say no to his little girl.

The ceremony will be in three days but everything is ready, I let out a long sigh and lean back in the chair. I spin around and look outside. I remember thinking that my life has not been the easiest but it has led up to this so now I will be able to relax and just be happy….

I was so stupid.

“Hey Luna”

I spin around and see Edward. He has been the best addition to the pack! He is the top fighter and is teaching the warriors. My mate even offered him to be his Beta when that position opened up one very sad day but he refused. His mate is the head doctor and she is one of my closest friends.

“Oh Hi Edward! Anything I can do for you?”

“I just wanted to go over the security for the party again with you”

I raise an eyebrow up at him.

“We have gone over it a million times, it is perfect there is nothing wrong with it so just let it be”

I see his knuckles whiten a little around the clipboard that he is holding with the plan on it but I have to stop this doubt in him right away. I push away from the table and walk to him.

“Edward, everything is perfect and I trust you one hundred percent”

He wobbles the clipboard back and forth in his hands but then he just nods his head and walks out of my office again. I walk after him into the kitchen so I can get some more coffee, as I am pouring the coffee my mate walks in and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

I brush my hand over my cheek remembering the memory of his lips there.

“Hello little mouse, I missed you”

“I missed you too mate” I say smiling and taking a sip from my coffee.

“How is the planning going for the ceremony?” he asks while filling his take away coffee cup.

I roll my eyes.

“Everything is finished and ready for the big day. Are you ready for the big day?” I ask.

He turns around looking into my face.

“I was ready years ago to spend every day with my mate and just traveling the world”

He laughs and takes me in his arms.

End of flashback

I hold myself just to hold on a little longer to the memory of him holding me but then I squeeze my eyes from the pain in my heart and the memory stops at that moment. I threw my second glass of the night at the window breaking both the window and the glass.

Ariel’s POV.

I take a sip of my whiskey and look down at the house where my mother is. I see her through the window throw some things around. I make a mental note to send someone to clean it up but then again they are going there everyday and I need to buy just some plastic furniture. I walk away from the window and sit down on my bed finishing my drink. I have to be strong here, I have to be the rock for this pack and my family right now.

My brothers took the news horribly and have still not gone back to school even though it started three weeks ago. Sebastian has just locked up all his feelings and just walks around not talking to anyone. Frederick is one angerball like our mother, they don't fight with each other but they do tend to agree and go on missions together. God help the rogues that dare to go over my lands at this moment. Word also got out when that stupid alpha came and tried to claim our land. As Alpha I took care of him but the bloodbath that my mother and brother did on his warriors was over the top. I just killed him quick enough but they ripped them apart and to be honest I was a little scared of my mother. I needed to pin her down because I am bigger than her and her gray/white ish wolf was blood red. My brothers growled a little at me but they backed off because even though they are family, they are still below me in rank. They are both alphas, yes and have as much alpha blood in their veins but I am the oldest and by that I am in charge.

I stand up from the bed and walk to the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror and start to brush my teeth. My thick black breast length hair that I got from my father flows around my face, the blue gray eyes from my mother and then just my normal plain face. I walk out of the bathroom with the toothbrush in my mouth and I open the window next to my bed but I hear then something break and it sounded very loud so I am guessing it was a window. So I closed mine again. I have heard most of the time that I am the woman version of my father, I am quite and serious, I wear dark clothes and I do have that b***h look on my face. I however am very loyal to my friends and good company around the right people. I have to say at the academy I was never the popular girl but I was respected. Yes I did have to kick some serious ass in class and a little outside of class but I got my respect. Like my father….

Flashback.

“Hey dad! Hey!”

I jog over to my father and take out my phone.

“Hey, I was just about to come find you, have you finished the guard plan for next month and you have to talk to your mother about some flowers”

I roll my eyes and rub the back of my head.

“I told mom I did not want flowers, I just wanted this to be simple and classic. I have not finished the plan but I will send it out to everyone tomorrow”

“You should have this ready at the right time Ariel, you will always have people switching and we need those lines and practises organised”

I look at my father, I really have to bite my tongue right now because he is one to talk, while I was growing up he never had anything under control and while I am here trying to take over both him and mom. He can see it in my eyes that I want to snap at him but I hold back, only two days then I can just tell him to buzz off.

“I will go straight to it” I say and turn away from him.

“Good I will take a run”

Fast forward.

I am sitting in my office when my head is booming with people yelling for me. I stand up so fast from my desk that I knock it to the ground.

ALPHA!

ALPHA! DANGER!

ALPHA IS INJURED!

ALPHA!

I don't even think about it as I jump out of my window, I shift in the air ripping all my clothes and follow my instinct of the voices. I run through the woods like a shadow, my wolf Melody is pitch black. My head keeps booming with voices. Without even slowing down I jump into the small open field where so many wolves are. I growl loud and ferociously so people move away and I land in the middle. My legs almost gave out as I saw what was in the middle of the group. My father! My father laying in pieces on the ground, his naked human body ripped apart and scattered.
