POV Axel
Waking up this morning I feel reborn. I haven’t felt this kind of happiness in a long time. Ever since my mom died my dad has been very depressed. It gave me a lot of pressure as a young kid. I was 14 when my mom died. Not long after that, my dad died of cancer, making me an orphan and alpha at the age of 16. It was a lot to take in. I was still grieving and had the responsibility of the whole pack on my shoulders. My father was a great leader and I wanted to do right by him.I get dressed and walk downstairs headed to the kitchen. A warm smell of fresh pancakes hits my nose. Hmm, my stomach growls at the scent. I walk into the kitchen where Hunter and his mate Ester are. Ester making the pancakes and Hunter stuffing his face.“Morning beautiful people,” I say while I grab a pancake sitting down at the dining table. Hunter gives me a weird look.“You’re oddly in a good mood?” Hunter sniffs the air looking up and down at me.“It’s really you. Only you’re happPOV Kristy School goes by in a flash. After training, I decided to go visit my aunt in the clinic. My aunt is the pack's doctor and runs the clinic. I always dreamed of being a doctor. Even though I know that’s not going to happen, I still enjoy going to the clinic. My aunt lets me help with small things. Ever since I was a teenager I have been pulling thorns out of some of the wolves who fell into them. Mostly kids. When I wasn’t able to help I was in the clinic's library. I found it fascinating. Our body’s, both wolf and human. So many similarities yet so different.I walk into my aunt's office. She’s sitting at her desk doing some paperwork. As I walk in she looks up.“Hello, sweetheart,” she says with a smile. “Hi” I go sit in front of her on the patient's chair.“How have you been, haven’t seen you in a while. ““I'm okay. Dad grounded me"“Why? What did you do?" she chuckles.“I went for a run at night and crossed the border"“Well, that’s not real
We arrive at the big old tree. I shift back and put on some clothes Vicky carried for me before walking over to Axel, who is only wearing shorts. He grabs my face and pecks my lips. “Hello gorgeous,” he says and looks me straight in my eyes.“What is it with you and the word gorgeous”“It meant nothing to me until I met you" I roll my eyes and walk over to the tree and sit down. Axel sits next to me and pulls me into his lap. I stare into his eyes and get lost in his sparkly green eyes for a minute. For a minute I forget all the bad things.“How was your day," he asks and plays with my hair. “My day was good until I had a huge blowout with my dad. He said my behaviour is unacceptable and that I embarrassed him. All I did was go to my aunt's clinic and read medical books in the library.”“Wauw, your Father really is a cunt"“Yes, tell me about it. So how was your day?”“Could have been better. This morning my patrolmen were attacked by rogue wolves. Among th
Last night another fighter of our pack died of his wounds. This means war. I have been up all night trying to figure out how we can fight these wolves. About how I am going to make them suffer.But also Elsa. She was just 21 years old and already lost her mate. Left to raise their child on her own. Well, she is not exactly alone. She has me and the pack, even though it won't be the same without him. My men are still out there trying to find these wolves. I am worried. Worried for their safety. On the other hand, all my mind can think about is how I want to kill each one of them. I can feel Onyx pressing underneath my skin. He wants to go out for a run. Honestly, it’s not a crazy idea. Get some of this anger out. I walk over to my closet and change in a clean pair of shorts before heading downstairs. I walk by the room next to mine where Elsa is still sleeping. She must be exhausted. Elsa was crying all night until she was too tired and fell asleep. I head for the back door wh
The funeral was over. Now the grieving really starts. The packhouse was filled with pack members. Inside and outside. Everyone was sharing memories they had. But not me. Everyone has paid their respects for my brother's passing. But my mind wasn’t here. All I could think about was the wolves that have killed my brother. The anger was consuming me. My fighters have still not found the wolves or their hiding spot. I keep thinking about strategies for how we can kill them and even capture one of them. I need answers. How is it possible that their claws have wolfsbane in them? What kind of witchcraft is that. I have never heard of it before. Not even legends. “My condolences Alpha," one of my pack members says interrupting my thoughts. I nod to him. I just don’t know what to say. I have been nodding and saying thank you. No other words seem to be able to leave my mouth. I can’t wait for this day to be over.POV Kristy It’s the next day. I told my father I have a school pr
I wake up, feeling like I am hit by a bus. My vision is blurred, and I try to blink it away. Where the bloody hell am I. I try t get up but feel I am chained up against the floor, with heavy steel chains both my arms and legs are chained up on the ring on the floor. Leaving me with limited room to move. I try pulling the chains, but no luck there. I am still weak from the wolfsbane they injected me with. When I finally can see something, I realize I am in the cells, by the looks of the concrete wall and the steel door I can tell I am still on our territory. My great-grandfather made these cells. They are located near the school in the forest. But why am I still on our territory? Who took me? And why?"Hello? Anyone out there?" I ask, but no one answers. The heavy steel door opens. My father steps inside followed by two men. "DAD," I say relieved, I knew it would not take long for him to come and find me. He walks over to the cell I am in, "Dad, someone took me. Why did th
POV Kristy.My head is pounding. Waking up from the punch that knocked me out, I rub the side of my forehead when I feel the blood drip down my face. I try to get up but no use to that. I am still chained to the floor in the cell."Are you alright there, love? Taking a little nap."When I look up I notice Matthias."You" I growl at him. "Me," he laughs. "I told you I was going to be your mate. You should have been nicer to me. It did not have to come to this Kristy. But, here we are. You have nowhere to go. Your father has given very clear orders. I am here to mark you. Claim what is rightfully mine. So maybe you should have thought about getting to know me a little bit better before lashing at me. Admit it, you like it. You like me, you are just too afraid to admit it. You love the way I chase you. My hot muscular body. You want me as much as I want you. I see the way you look at me in training." He says, slowly getting closer to the cell I am in."Yo
POV Axel. I rush to the pack's clinic with Kristy in my arms. I already mind-linked our pack's doctor. When we arrive at the clinic the doctor is ready for us waiting at the entrance with a gurney. I put her on the gurney quickly and the doctor and nurses rushed her to an emergency room."I already took out the bullet but she is not waking up.""We got it from here Alpha. We got her." The doctor tells me. I stand back and watch the doctor and nursers hook her up on an IV and examine her. "Please Alpha, go sit in the waiting room we got her. We will call you when needed." A nurse escorts me to the waiting room where I go sit down on one of the hard plastic chairs.I hope I made the right choice to not go to her aunt's clinic. I did not trust it. Not anyone at this point. Her own bloody father took her and even shot her with a silver bullet. How could I trust that someone from his pack would take good care of her? I just hope I made the right choice co
POV KristyI have been staring out the window in Axel's bedroom all day. Trying to wrap my head around what happened last night. My father kidnapped me, locked me up in the cells. He wanted to let Matthias mark me. A bloody jerk with no brain cells. When I was able to escape he freaking shot me with a silver bullet. Who would do that to their own bloody daughter? How did he even know Axel is my mate. I did not tell him. I did not notice anyone following me to the big old tree. I sure as hell don't think my aunt or Olivia would betray me. One of his men must have seen us there is no other explanation. A nice lady brought me some clothes. Ester was her name I think. Not exactly my style but better than Axel's clothes that are way too big for me. Although I love wearing his t-shirt, it's covered in his scent. It calms me down smelling him. "Here you go hun, eat something," Axel says while holding out a plate with food to me."I am not hungry.""You have to eat. You
Kristy POV. It is almost dark when I hear Axel's car pull up in the driveway. My grandmother is still here. I have been nervous all day. I am pregnant. I don't know how to tell him. I don't know if I have ever been this scared before. What if he doesn't want it? We have a lot on our minds right now. I wish my mom was here or Olivia. I don't feel like I have anybody here. I know I have Axel and my grandmother. I am grateful for them, but it is not the same. The pack members are family, but I don't have any friends here. I don't have anybody to turn to. Not like how I can with Olivia. She would always cheer me up or distract me from all the shit that is going on. I miss her so much. Now we are divided. I did not imagine that I would ever be without her. We were supposed to share everything. When the time would come that we would have children, they were supposed to grow up together and be best friends, just like us. I would have been the first female Alpha of the pack, and she would
Axel POV I wake up in the middle of the woods. It is still dark outside, I have no idea what time it is. I look down and I am completely naked covered in mud. Onyx must have had his fun in the woods. I look around and notice that I am close to home. I feel drops falling on my face. It is starting to rain, of course. It starts with a few drops, the leaves on the trees hold back the rain a little bit. I look up and regret it instantly because it starts to rain as if the gates have opened and someone threw a bucket of water on earth. I make a run for it and quickly get inside. I go to the first level, to one of the bedrooms. I don't want to wake Kristy up. I turn on the shower and quickly hop in. After washing myself I walk over to the laundry room. Luckily there are some clothes in the dryer. Jeans and a sweatshirt but no socks. Do I risk going upstairs and potentially waking up Kristy? No, I guess no socks today. I quickly get dressed and go outside back to the clinic to get my car
Axel POV.It is currently still dark. I wake up from someone shouting my name. I look next to me and Kristy is fast asleep. I walk up to the window but I see nothing."Axel" I hear again. I look over to Kristy but she has not moved an inch."Alpha!" Then it hits me that I am being mind linked. I rub my face trying to wake up."Yes?" I reply still standing in front of the window."I have something. I needed to contact you when I found something in Hunter's blood. Can you come to the lab?" Now I realize that it is Dr. Spine that is contacting me. What time is it? I walk over to my side of the bed and grab my phone to look at the time. It is 4.30 A.M. "Dr. Spine do you have any idea what time it is?" "I know Alpha and I apologize for waking you up. I would not contact you if it could not wait until the morning. I have been working all night and finally found something. You need to see this for yourself.""Fine, I am up already now. I will meet you in the lab." I close the link and put
Kristy POVI wake up to an empty bed. I reach for my phone on the nightstand and look at the time. 1 P.M. SHIT! It is already noon and I am still in bed. I rush out of bed to my closet and grab the first thing I see. A pair of purple leggings with a blue sweatshirt. doesn't really match but who cares. I rush downstairs and notice the Alpha house is completely empty. Axel is not in his office and not in the kitchen or living room. I put the kettle on to make some tea. In the meantime, I try to mindlink Axel but he blocks me out. I walk up to the refrigerator to grab some milk when I notice a note stuck on the refrigerator. "I will be back before dark xx" I sigh, take the note off the refrigerator, and put it in the trash can. Is he for real? A note? What is he up to now? Why so suspicious 'Will be back before dark' What is that supposed to mean? Why not let me know where he went? How long has he been gone for? My own mind is starting to drive me crazy with all these questions I am as
Jack POV. I feel lost. I want my daughter to be save. I want to be in control of her safety. She doesn't know half of what is going on in this world and I don't know how to tell her. I tried everything. I really thought she would have stayed. She came by herself against the will of her mate. She is strong. No one can go against their Alpha's orders, not even a mate. They outrank each other, An Alpha's order overpowers a Luna's order and her will. She has no option but to obey. But somehow she did get away. I sit in my office thinking about everything I did to get her back. Thinking about other ways but I am out of ideas at this point. Maybe, just maybe she changes her mind. I hear a knock on my door and look up. My Beta Rick is in the door opening. "Am I interrupting? " "No, come in. Sit down" I point to the empty chair in front of my desk and he sits down. "Any word from Kristy?" "No nothing yet. It has only been a few days." "Have you tried contacting her? Their Beta has chang
Kristy POVI wake up and rub my eyes when I notice that it is dark. How long have I been asleep? What time is it? I grab my phone from the nightstand, and my screen's brightness blinds me. I squeeze my eyes trying to lower the brightness but I can barely see anything. I swipe left and right hoping I get it right. Finally, I get it, that is so much better even though I still see stars. I look at the time, 1 AM?! I have been asleep all day. I look next to me and see that Axel has joined me in bed and is still asleep. I get up and notice I fell asleep in my towel. I walk to my closet and grab some underwear and pajamas to put on before I go downstairs. I walk to the kitchen and turn on the kettle to myself some tea. My stomach starts to growl. I haven't eaten all day. I open the fridge and look for something to eat. Nothing, at least nothing that I am craving at the moment. I open the pantry and look around, but also nothing. The kettle starts to whistle and I grab a cup and a tea bag o
Axel POVI watch her leave and wait until I hear the car drive away to make sure she left. "You had something you wanted to discuss with me, Alpha?" Dr. Spine asks."Yes, Kristy's father said something about the wicked wolf not recognizing anyone but his maker. Have you read anything about that in the books?" "Not that specific no, but I will look into it. The pack of Alpha Theo has a big library I will try to get in contact with them to see if they can help provide any books that might help. With your permission, of course, Alpha.""Yes, do that. We need all the information we can get. Also, Jack showed us an empty syringe with a needle. He injected Hunter with something to turn him. Is there a way you can maybe find out what he was injected with?""I can take some of his blood and run some tests to see if it is still in his blood, try to find out what was in it." I nod in agreement and Dr. Spine walks over to some cabins behind the surgical table in the basement and opens a drawer
"Dad?" I slide down from Onyx's back to face my father. My heart is pounding in my chest not knowing his next move. Is going to take me back? Or is he going to kill my mate and Hunter? Or both?"You seem a little surprised to see me?" He says with a smile on his face. Onyx growls and shows his teeth, making my father laugh harder."Ooooh," He says laughing in Onyx's face." Do you think I am afraid of you? Ha, look around you, Axel! LOOK! You are outnumbered."Onyx growled again and I could feel his and Axel's rage through the bond. I quickly go to stand in between them before they rip each other's heads off. " What do you want dad? I thought you said" I stumble over my words. He said he loved me and now he is laughing at my face. A feeling of betrayal runs over me, it makes me feel sick to my stomach."I meant what I said, Kristy." He says turning all his attention towards me."But really Kristy, not once you have stopped to think to yourself it was a little too easy to get away? Do
Kristy POVI wake up to something licking my face. Argh, I don't want to get up. Let me sleep. I turn my face away. My whole body feels sore. Why do I feel so sore? It almost feels like I went to boot camp or run a marathon. Then the licking continues on my stomach. Oh, my goddess that tickles! "Make it stop!" I giggle out loud trying to turn away."Kristy we have to go. Get up." I hear Axel's voice through the mind link.I instantly open my eyes. "Axel?" I say out loud in disbelief and then it all starts to come back to me. The heat the se."Yes now let's go. We don't have much time. I am taking you home." He says through the mind link interrupting my thoughts. I look up at Onyx who is standing over me and has his giant face 2 inches away from mine. Impatiently waiting for me to get up. He pushes his nose against my shoulder. "Well, you will have to get off me Onyx if you want me to get up. I can't get up with you standing over me you are in my way." I tell him while waving my ha
