Juvia POV The next few days of school seemed to fly by quickly. Sarah seemed to be keeping her distance from me after the incident where the ball accidentally collided with her face. To be honest, I wasn't too sure if that was a good thing, or a bad thing. Although she wasn't bothering me, I could still see the sly smirk play on her face when she looked my way. I was getting to know Liam a little better too and he seemed alright, but I could tell there were things he didn't want me to know. He did, however, tell me about what packs are. How they are basically a connected community. He also told me about some of the history of the world I was from, from past Kings and Queens to current Alphas and Lunas. Though taking about those certain subjects after what happened in the forest, kind of put me in an awkward state, but I was grateful for all the information I could get. He explained all about how we were created and shared stories of the Moon Goddess Selene. A lot of the time he wo
Liam POV “Oh shit! Even I'd have issues with that.” Leon made me jump looking over my shoulder. I was too concentrated on the homework I didn't get finished last night so I didn't see him come in. I needed it done before leaving but it was some annoying shit about calculating angles and I was so lost. “Fuck sake Leon, you scared the shit out of me. Any chance you will help me finish?” I replied to him. “Not a chance. How else are you going to learn?” He laughed while making himself a coffee. “How are things going? Is Juvia opened up to you anymore?” The look on his face made me want to ask why she was so important, but the look in his eyes told me not too. “Yeah, she's starting to trust me a lot more but it's only been a few days remember. Most of what I've gathered is that she was found as a baby and put into care and bounce about a bit. She doesn't know anything about being a wolf. Other than what Alice and I have told her.” He blinked a few times. “Alice?” “Oh yeah, that's h
Juvia POV 'I knew he knew more than he was letting on' Alice growled in my head as we walked home. I couldn't stay in school any longer, everything was just getting too much and I just couldn't see Liam again. 'Yeah,' I replied 'but I didn't think he knew about the attack. Everything that has been told to reporters was about me running from wolves and hiding until I was able to escape. Nothing about my attack. So he either knows someone that attacked me or..' I stopped and my mind went back to that nightmare. 'Juvia? What is it?' Alice asked, worriedly. 'He's too familiar Alice, he has been too familiar this whole time. It makes sense now.' I snapped back to reality and started to run. I could feel the confusion coming from Alice. “The men. The wolves in the forest. The Alpha and the man who attacked me the first time when we ran away from Winston. They are family. Liam is THEIR family.” I shouted out loudly as I sprinted for the house. I could feel the pieces fall into place fo
Leon POV “How could you fuck up something so simple. All you had to do was watch her. That was it. Gain her trust, get her to come here and we could keep her safe. How did you fuck it up that badly?” I said for the 5th time from Liam got home after school. “I don't know Leon. I was trying and I want her to be safe too. She will come around. She needs time to calm down and she will talk to me when she is ready. That's how she is.” I couldn't stop the growl that left my lips. He is telling me how my mate acts. Unfortunately he knows her best for the moment but if I have it my way, it won't be like that for long. Walking over to my desk, I sat down and rubbed my hand down my face and let out a sigh. “So what is the next move? How long do you think she will need to calm down?” I asked. “I don't know. Could be a few days. Maybe a week. We just need to keep a detail on her for now I guess. Her senses are starting to develop though so maybe its best to keep them down wind and out of the
Juvia POV “I need to know. Do you trust me?” His words terrified me. After what happened at school, I don't know if the trust could still be there. Yet, he was the only one I had that I could call and he came without hesitation. “Yes. I trust you Liam.” He let out a long sign of relief. “Okay. Good. Just don't freak out.” His eyes seemed to glaze over making me jump slightly as they turned from his normal hazel colour to a deep shade of gray. 'He's mindlinking with someone.' Alice informed me. 'Does that happen when we talk?' I asked. “No. In packs the member's of a pack can mindlink with each other. Contact through thoughts as long as they are within a distance. Mostly the Alpha and Luna can communicate with everyone, but some strong members of an Alpha family can too. Others can only communicate with their Alpha, Luna, mates and close kin.' My face must have contorted in confusion because I was taken from my conversation by Liam's worried voice. “No matter what happens, you
Leon POV Liam mindlinked me telling me to come in, I could barely contain myself. I've tried so hard not to let the mate bond show how crazy it's been making me. I know she feels something but I don't think she knows she is supposed to be feeling for me. I watch her intently as we talk until I decide its nearly time to leave. “So, Liam has informed me of what happened. We need to get you out of here.” I told her as I stood from the seat I was sat in. “Liam offered you a place with us. We were never going to force you, please understand that. But now I don't think there is much choice. Once we get far enough away we can ring the police and someone will come for the children.” “What? No. They come with us.” Her words shocked me. I'm not sure if it was the confidence in them or that she was defying me, the Alpha. “Juvia, you know little of our world. They cannot come with us. We cannot have hu...” I stopped looking at the young kids sat on the sofa looking at her. She did this for the
Leon POV A loud growl left me and within seconds, Liam and Marcus were in front of me and the two other men I had follow were in formation behinds me. 'Jack!' Khaos growled thought the mindlink to both Liam and Marcus. 'We smell him too.' Liam growled. 'This is the one who attacked her the first time?' He asked and I nodded. “Of course, the day I end up on the scouting team, you show up. Typical.” His slimy voice came from behind a tree as he stepped out. “She doesn't look to good.” he laughed “maybe you should let me take her to a doctor.” he grinned. Liam shifted back to his human form and stepped forward. “You are in our way mutt. You got off lightly last time, so I heard. You will not get that chance again.” I could hear the anger in his voice. Out of the 3 of the older brothers, Aleister was definitely the most calm one that was always thinking of others and the outcome. I was obviously the strongest being the Alpha but Liam was the hot head. Although he was younger than Al
Flashback to when they were explaining the plan. 'Alpha, I have a backpack here with me. It has my things in it. Under everything at the bottom, wrapped in some clothes is a bottle of Everclear.' Seth mindlinked. 'Shit Seth. You promised no more boozing!' Scott snapped at him. 'Well it's just as well I didn't. It's come in handy now hasn't it.' He laughed dryly through the link. 'Marcus, think you can take the mutt behind us out quickly?' Marcus nodded slightly, never taking his eyes off the wolves in front of us. 'Good' Seth replied. 'Liam, you no doubt want a crack at Jack?' 'I'll rip his throat out.' Liam growled. 'Okay, on your mark. Jump at him, I'll take the right and Scott will take the left. See over there to the right? Over by the large bush.' 'You fucking genius.' Scott laughed out. 'The grass.' 'The grass?' I asked. The two boys grew up on a farm on the outskirts of the pack before joining my warriors. They had a lot of experiences with forests which is why I value
Juvia POVWe sat in silence for a few moments. I could feel the rage radiate from him and I sat quietly until he was ready. This was a lot to take in. The truth of his parents was one thing but the more he continued the more I understood his protective nature.“When she was 15, she was known as the jewel of their pack. She was beautiful. Long black hair, porcelain skin. And it was at this time, Lorenzo noticed the attention she was getting from the older members. So when it came to the pack meetings, he had a special room in the cellars made up for visiting Alphas to bring her down and use her however they wanted.”My hands flew to my mouth as tears started to silently fall down my face.“This was why, when I did what I did to you, not only did I hate myself so much for putting you through that, everyone else did too. It makes me sick to my stomach the shit my mother went though being locked in that room. So when I locked you up in a room of your own, I should have known better.”I co
Juvia POVI sat on the sofa, hanging on every word Leon said. Things very few people in his pack even knew about. Leon's parents were murdered and nobody knows the truth. He's carrying this burden with the help of a few other people, as to protect his pack and most of all, his brothers.“Why they were killed though, we still have no clues.” I slowly reached towards his hands that where wrapped tightly around the glass of whiskey and took one in my hand.“Is that why you don't talk about them?” I asked softly.“Yeah. It's hard keeping this from the guys. When we talk about them, I just want to tell them. But I would break their hearts if I told them the truth.”I nodded. I understood his intentions but it wasn't my place to tell him I thought he was making a mistake by not telling his brothers the truth.“So, I'm sorry, I don't want to push but I need to Leon.” I watched as he cocked his eyebrow in confusion. “Your grandfather?”He nodded in understanding and took his hand from mine.“
Juvia POV“Grandfather?” I asked confused. In an instant Leon had Clancy pinned against the wall, gasping for breath.“Why?” I watched as Khaos pushed to the surface. “Why him?”I watched as Clancy's hands fought against Leon's arm while he choked out his words. “Because... He... Knew... The... Tales...”Leon glared at him for a few seconds while Clancy continued to gasp for air, before he grunted and dropped his hand and Clancy collapsed to the floor breathing hard.Leon turned hard on his heel and stomped back to his desk and sat down. Nobody moved until he spoke again.“Michael, you better tell me something that isn't going to piss me off.”Michael sighed. “Alpha, Lorenzo, as much as we hate him, has heard of the things we want to know. One of the other elders we spoke to contacted him because of a story he told once at a gathering. Something about a woman he knew using an Alpha aura to destroy a building. When he asked about why they were interested, they told him they were doing
Heston POVI rustled through papers at my desk, lost in thoughts of the conversation with hunter. There are only a few weeks then the girls full power unlocks and it will be harder to hide that she is still alive.“Your highness?” I heard a voice.I glanced up to see one of the maids standing offering to pour me a drink. I waved my hand to dismiss her.“It isn't like you to turn down a drink my love, is something the matter?” In walked my beautiful mate, Daria. Her long black hair flowed and her scent calmed me immediately.“Just work my love. Circumstances have changed so I'm having to move the plans up.” I run my hand through my thick light brown hair. “She is closer to her transformation than we originally thought.”“So that's it? You are 100% sure it's her now?” She sat on the table next to me and glanced at the papers in front of me.“There is no mistake now. The one thing I don't understand, is how she's stayed hidden so long.”I heard a small growl come from her. “It could only
Leon POVIt's been days from I've spoken to Juvia and right now Khaos is going nuts in my head. He wants to see Alice, but both are refusing to see me.I sat in my office staring out the window, half listening to the morning patrol plans.“Are you even listening Leon?” Liam snapped. “Because if I'm wasting my time I'll go out myself.”“Sorry man. My heads just in a fucking dizz. Khaos hasn't stopped shouting at me.” I groaned.“Well get it fucking together man.” He snapped again.From the conversation about Juvia possibly being mated to my brothers, he's been extra irritable. Aleister has been travelling to other packs to do research on what could be going on but so far hasnt found much.There was a knock at the door and Eric came in and both me and Liam looked at him with urgency, yet he just waltzed in as if we weren't waiting on him.“Well?” I snapped standing from my seat.He walked across the room and sat on the sofa in the corner and stretched out his arms.“What happened?” Liam
Juvia POVI still cant get over that strange dream with the familiar woman.I spent the next few days in our apartment, telling the twins I wasn't feeling well and that I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't tell them about wanting to leave, or about what Leon done to me. I didn't want to put them in a situation where they would want to come with me or turn against Leon. Especially when he's only recently started getting Kevin's trust.“Hello?” A voice called from towards the front door. I got up and walked to the hall and looked towards my locked door before I heard another knock.I walked over and looked out through the peephole to see a woman standing there with an annoyed look on her face. She was skinny, and although she looked to be in her 40s, her long salt and pepper hair made her seem wise beyond her years.“Hello?” I finally replied after hearing her let out a sigh.“Oh finally!” She snapped. “It's extremely rude to keep someone waiting at your door.”'Wow, who does she think
Juvia POVI looked at my phone and realised I've been sitting in the flower garden for over an hour. It really is a calming beautiful place. My stomach growled slightly and I couldn't remember the last thing I had to eat.Deciding to head back inside I was about to leave when something in the corner of the garden caught my eye. There was a small cluster of little white flowers behind a small section of snapdragons, the ones Leon explained were planted for him by his mother.Taking a closer look, I discovered a small group of snowdrops in full bloom.“Wow, they are beautiful.” I spoke out loud. “But that's strange. They usually don't bloom this time of year.”“You know your flowers.” Came a soft voice from behind me.I turned to see a beautiful vision of a woman standing behind me. Tall and slim, with long velvet like black hair that hung down her back reaching her bum. She had the most lovely green eyes and when she gave me a small smile, I could feel my hurt and anxiety vanish in an
Juvia POVLeon's fist slammed down on the table “What the fuck did you just say?”I watched as Aleister bared his neck to Leon and Liam looked down to the floor.“I just mean, it seems like me and Liam have an incomplete bond. Like there is something in the way of it becoming complete, like your bond.”“So you mean we have to share her?” Liam burst out laughing. “Like just taking turns with her. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What if Leon lives for like 90 years? Do we just wait?”This time I heard Leon let out a low growl.Aleister cleared his throat and shifted slightly. “Or if she rejected Leon.”My head shot to Leon and I noticed he was already looking at me wide eyed.'No. Not an option. Please Juvia.' Alice pleaded in my head.The room sat quiet while everyone just stared at me and I couldn't take it any more.“I'd like to go for a walk. I need to think things over.” I shot up and headed for the door.“Wait.” Leon called as my hand reached for the door handle, caus
Juvia POV'Please don't hold this against him. I get that you're pissed. So am I. But don't reject him, don't leave Juvia.' Alice was gaining more strength now. Whatever was in the syringe was wearing off.'Alice, how can we trust him? Who does that to another person?' I snapped back at her. This mate bond was our wolves pulling each other together, and because they are part of our souls, it's a part of someone pulling a part of someone else. The bond is stronger for our wolves though. But it can be denied, or rejected as Alice put it.There was a small knock at the door and I walked over to it slowly.“Hello?” I called out softly.“I didn't mean for this to happen Juvia. I don't know why I did this. I just wanted you safe.”Leon's voice was a low humming coming through the thick door.“Please let me out Leon. You promised me I would be free to make my own choice. That I wasn't a prisoner.” I pleaded, but I was met with silence. “Leon?”I waited, but just when I turned away thinking h
