"What do you mean that is not what happened?" I say confused. What does he mean? His father did not kill my mother? Then who did?
"My father did not kill your mother, Kristy. Is that what your father told you? What exactly did he tell you?""Not much, that is why I asked. I still have so many questions about my mother's death. Every time I brought it up to my dad he would just get angry, so I stopped asking.""Alright come on let's go," Axel says and he gets out of the water."Go where? Why can't you just tell me what happened?""I can but you'll have a lot of questions. Questions I can not answer.""Who? Where are we going? please just tell me.""You will see," Axel says and he shifts back to his wolf form and runs back to his car. I get out of the water quickly shifting and chasing after him. I try to catch my breath when we arrive at the tree line where we left out clothes and put them on."Can't you just tell me?" I ask Axel when he gets"Are you okay?" Axel asks when he pulls my hair out of my face. "No, I am not okay. I want to go home." "Okay, we will go home" He hands me a glass of water and I take a big sip. washing down the taste of my vomit."Know that you are always welcome. When you are ready to talk I will be here." My grandmother says while she rubs my back. We get into the car and drive back home. Once we arrive home I immediately head upstairs to Axel's bedroom. I go lay down on the bed and stare at the ceiling.All this time I thought Axel's father was the one who killed my mother. But it was my father. He killed his own mate when he was the one at fault. He cheated on my mother and killed her when she found out. My stomach turns again at the thought alone. How could he? His own mate. I knew my dad was strict and wanted his way. But I never knew he was a bloody monster. This is too much. I don't want to think about it, but it is all I can think about. It's like I never knew
I wake up the next morning and see that Axel is still asleep. I walk over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I look at my mark in the mirror. I touch the red mark on my neck underneath my ear. It is kind of like half a moon but just one outline in dots. This mark makes me officially a Luna. Bounded with Axel. But that's not all. Now that he marked me, he will introduce me properly to the pack and we will have a ceremony. This only occurs when an Alpha finds his mate. The ceremony is to combine our bloodlines. It's is an old ceremony it's a tradition. hundreds of years ago different bloodlines were different packs. These bloodlines had different capabilities. For assemble one bloodline would have the ability to shift whenever their wolf wanted, others could only shift on a full moon. Other packs would have great strength when others would have speed and so on. Over the years pack members combined. When there was a mate from a different pack to an Alpha they would do a ceremony
"Axel? Axel? Where are you?" I walk in the front door of what Axel calls the packhouse. I need to tell him to cancel everything. I can't do this. "I am here. Why so loud? You know that we can hear better than humans can right? Everything okay?" Axel comes rushing out of his office rubbing his ears. When I realize the house is filled with pack members getting everything ready for the ceremony. I can feel my cheeks heat up from their eyes staring at me."No, it's not okay we need to talk." I know whisper to him, not that there is a point to it now that the whole house is looking at us. I walk up the stairs to our bedroom away from the staring eyes. "Kristy, are you going to tell me what is going on?" Axel asks running after me. I shut the door behind him."I can't do this." "What do you mean you can't do this? I know you are not a dress person but it is just for today""It's not that""Then what is it tell me. Did someone hurt you? Need me to kill
Waking up I feel reborn. Like I am a whole new person. Well, I kind of am. I get dressed and head downstairs to the kitchen where I found Axel and his beta Hunter I think his name is. They are stuffing their faces with the fresh waffles Ester made. It smells so good. "Goodmorning," I tell them while I go sit next to Axel and grab a warm waffle."Goodmorning gorgeous," Axel says and pecks my cheek."Hmm, these are some delicious waffles," I tell Ester with my mouth full."Thank you" she chuckles and joins us at the table with another plate of fresh waffles. I can see the steam coming from the waffles."Well, I am off to pack training," Axel says"Wait, I am coming with you," I tell Axel before getting up. When I see him stare confused at me."What do you mean you are coming with me?""To train?" I say confused. Axel and Hunter look at each other with frowned eyebrows before looking back at me."Women do not train," Hunter says still confu
POV Axel "INSIDE NOW" I order Kristy. I didn't want to use my Alpha aura on her but she left me no choice. It is not safe. I watch her get inside knowing Ester will lock the doors properly. The door closes behind her, she looked pissed off. I will deal with her later. I shift into my wolf form and run after Hunter who is already running towards the border where we are being attacked when I hear bushes ruffle beside me and one of the wolves jumps out. They are already here fuck. "How many are there?" I ask one of my patrolmen when I lash into the wolf with my canines. "Too many 50, 100" He replies and I can tell he is out of breath. "There are more on the southern border we need back up" Another man from the south patrol mind linked when I feel the wolf's claws scratch my sides, the wolfsbane burning my skin. They already attacked the west border and now the south. Onyx tears into the wolf's throat and rips it out. The wolf whimpers and blood floods out of his
POV Axel Two days after the attack. I wake up with a massive headache and my insides are burning. I look around and find I am not in my bedroom. I see Kristy sitting on a chair sleeping when I realize I am in the clinic. I must have passed out. It is dark outside. How long have I been out? The last thing I remember was Hunter ripping a wolf apart and seeing Ester lifeless on the floor. I try to get up and see that I am hooked up to an IV. Kristy wakes up to me startling around. "You are awake." She says. "Yes. Please help me get up and get this thing out of my arm" I tell her pointing to the IV. "Let's just wait for the doctor." I pu
POV AxelWe arrive at the clinic and walk over to the building behind the clinic. That is where the labs are."Where are we going?" Kristy asks."To the labs, it is right behind the clinic." It looks a bit sketchy the building is old and the path towards it is overgrown with plants. This place needs a renovation, as do a lot of buildings around the pack. Wich, I have been avoiding. Renovations cost a lot of money and time and right now it is not a priority to me. We need to find these wolves and figure out why they keep attacking us. I open the door and we stand in a small hallway with three doors in front of us not knowing which one to go into."This place smells," Kristy says and it does. It smells like a dentist's office but bloody."Doctor Spine?" I call out and hear nothing."Doctor Spine? We are here." I walk over to the first door wanting to open it to see if he was there."I am coming" I hear doctor Spine call out before the third doo
POV Kristy.We walk inside of the packhouse and the smell of alcohol and something burned to meet my nostrils. We walk into the kitchen and find Hunter burning pictures."What are you doing?" Axels calls out and puts out the fire the pictures created in the sink. Hunter just stares at it he looks dumb and drunk."Why would you burn those pictures?" Axel asks but no answer."I think he needs to sleep it off," I tell Axel while I wave my hand in front of Hunter's eyes, and still no reaction. He doesn't even blink. Axel Grabs Hunter's arm and drags him towards the stairs only for Hunter to get out of his grip and turn around. He walks over to the living room and we follow behind him wondering what he is planning on doing. He lets himself fall face down on the couch and instantly starts snoring."That's fine I guess?" I look at Axel and he shrugs. We walk back into the kitchen and I grab a glass of orange juice before turning to Axel.
