Axel POV
I tell Kristy to run when I see her father grab her arm before I sink my claws in his side. He instantly lets her arm go and shifts to his wolf. I see my man and his coming from all angles."Get Kristy home" I mindlink Hunter. I want her to be safe I can handle her father.I growl at Jack who was now standing in front of me in wolf form showing his teeth. He lashes at my throat but Onyx blocks him and hits him in the face with his paw. In the corner of my eye, I see Hunter and Kristy Heading for the car. Jack sinks his claws in my shoulder when I got distracted for a second making me focus on him again. I sink my canines in his shoulder and my claws in his side and toss him against the big tree. I notice the bag with the books and I can tell Onyx was thinking the same thing he grabs the bag and makes a run for it. My fighters follow behind me and we head towards our border, knowing they won't cross it.I can hear wolves fighting behind me but I knowToday I can finally start training the women of our pack. I am so excited. I got up early this morning and I am now setting everything up on the training field. I love the cold morning breeze on my skin. The smell of fresh-cut grass as I stand on the big field. It is still dark out since it is only 6 a.m. Training starts at 7 and all women between ages 18 and 40 are allowed to train. I think it is stupid that Axel only wants certain ages to train but it is a start. I am counting the boxing gloves I got yesterday and I hope I bought enough. I also got a couple of punching bags. I am not completely sure where I want to go with training today, but at least starting with basics in human form. Later on, we will move on from wolf to human and wolf to wolf. I am used to not training with any gear but wanted to start with letting them train with gear so that they can get used to training. My father used to say "When there is war they won't put on gloves". I thought it was stupid when
Axel POVDoctor Spine mind linked me that he found something we might find interesting in the books. I really hope we have more of a lead on what they are and why they keep attacking my pack. Since we are the only pack that has been under attack. My scouts are still out looking for them and their hiding spot. Last night Vince, the one in charge mind linked me that they might have a lead into the mountains. Which is not that far from us.We arrive at the clinic and I start to feel a little nervous as if something is about to happen. I have had this feeling since last night after Vince told me about the possible lead. I just hope that they will be okay. I told Vince to stand back and only observe. I am just nervous for them to get caught. Kristy must have felt my nervousness since she grabs my hand tightly as we walk over to the labs.
Kristy POV Three weeks later. It has been three weeks since Axel killed that man. The image of him ripping the man's heart out like it was nothing has been stuck in my head. It makes me nauseous even thinking about it. I don’t know what worries me more the fact he ripped his heart out or the fact that he enjoyed every bit of it. I felt his amusement through the bond and thought it was weird since he was trying to get information from the wolf so I went to take a look and when I came down the basement he was skinning the hand
Axel POV “Why have you been avoiding me, Kristy? Are you afraid I will hurt you? If so please tell me. I will never do anything to hurt you, not on purpose. You have been avoiding me and ignoring me and it hurts Kristy. I am your mate. Please talk to me” I ask her a little nervous for her answer. She walked in on me killing the wolf ever since then she has been off. She has been avoiding me at all costs. I just want to know why. I did not mean to scare her and I would never hurt her. “Fine. The fact that you liked torturing that man scared me. It reminded me of my father and I can’t go through that again.” I get a lump in my throat from her words. I don't know what to tell her. There is no excuse, I did enjoy torturing him. I didn't see the problem but it clearly scared her. I did not mean for her to get scared and guilt smashes into me. When I don't
Kristy POV The next morning I wake up to my alarm and reach for the nightstand to turn it off. Only for me to knock my phone off the nightstand, a growl escapes my lips when I get up to grab my phone from the floor. "Really? This is how my day is going to start?" I mumble to myself. I turn my alarm, which is now beaming so loud my ears are hurting. I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready when I notice that Axel is already up. Axel has sent men to scout my father's borders yesterday to see if he has any help from the hunters. We need to know what we are up against he said. I know exactly what we are up against, and there will be a lot of bloodsheds. Wich does not need to happen is he would just let me go in exchange for Hunter. This pack has suffered enough from the attacks, we lost enough people. He says women will have a say from now on but still, I have nothing to say. Not if it doesn't go his way. If they come up wit
I walk to the garage located next to the kitchen. I get the keys to Hunter's car that hang on a key rack. I walk over to the black Mercedez parked in the garage. It's way better than my grandmother's pickup truck. I appreciate that she lent me the car but a snail would have been faster. I unluck the car and get into the driver's seat before starting the car. I turn on the ac. Thank god this car has an ac I am sweating like crazy. Where is this heat coming from? It is the middle of autumn.I put the address in the car GPS that my father has sent me. When I look at the address I notice it isn't anywhere near the mountains. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I know that Axel won't be there, which makes me a little nervous. What if I am making a mistake and something does happen to me, Axel will be miles away. It is a 40-minute drive from here. I don't understand how he can be there in 40 minutes when he was supposed to be in the mountains. which is hours
Axel POV The drive to the mountains feels endless. I feel bad about my argument with Kristy, I know she meant well but I am not putting her at risk. I will do everything to protect her even if it will cost me more men to lose. I would never ask her to go back to her father in order to save Hunter and for us to be unharmed. "You really scared her. Again, dumbass." Onyx's voice flickers through my head as I sit in the passenger seat of my own car. "Her wolf won't even talk to me she shuts me out every time I try to apologize for your behavior. Great job genius. She was already afraid of us for what we did to that last guy." He cusses me out and I roll my eyes at him. He is right, maybe I went a little too far. "A LITTLE? Her tail was practically between her legs when you yelled at her in front of all our men." I forget he is in the front of my head and can pretty much read my thoughts. "Fine. I will talk to her when we get back." We are almost at the location Jack has set his
We are in the car on our way to Jack's territory to get my mate back. Hunter is in the back of the vehicle and is still unconscious. It's a long drive from the mountains to Jack's pack. In wolf form would be faster but we would be exhausted when we get there and considering we will have to fight to get my mate back who also is in heat, it might be better for us to drive. How did I not notice that? I was so busy with getting hunter back that I didn't even notice my own mate's feelings and the signs of her getting into heat. My thoughts are all over the place. I am trying to figure out the best way to get her back. She is not safe with him. Why did she have to go and sacrifice herself to get Hunter back? We would have gotten him back no matter what. Now I have to get her within Jack's territory where he will have all the advantages. I hear Hunter groaning and moving around in the back and I turn around instantly. "Hey buddy, you are safe now. We got you." I say reaching out to him. He
