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
Leon POV We heard howls and growls as we made our way towards the pack. The direction we were heading, I just hoped had enough people on patrol. Because of this area being close to humans, we rarely needed big groups on the boarder patrol, humans rarely came far into the forest. After Juvia, we increased the numbers. I just hope it was enough. We were running as fast as we could. If I didn't have her on my back I would have made it in half the time but we had to slow our pace. Soon the only thing we could hear was our paws hitting the ground. We must have been running flat out for 20 minutes, calling through the mindlink hoping for anyone to be in range. 'We have an emergency, is anyone in range!' I yelled down the link for the hundredth time. 'Alpha? What's wrong?' 'Alpha Leon, where are you?' 'Alpha we hear you. What is going on?' Soon voices started filling my head of different pack members. We are close. 'I need as much fighters as we can get. NOW. I'm coming through the E
Leon POV Soon the sounds of jaws snapping and growls came to a halt. The rogues had either retreated or where laying dead at our feet. Most of my men where shifting back to check on the wounded. Thankfully my men are all skilled fighters and there was no deaths as far as we could tell. 'There are medical tents set up on our borders. If you can walk, help the wounded. I need a round up group to stay back, so anyone uninjured and willing to stay. We can't leave the bodies in the open like this. Gather up the scum that are left and pile them up. We can come back with the ATVs and get them out of the way.' I boomed out to my men through the link. 'If you can, reach out and let others know too. I'm too far out from other groups.' 'Yes Alpha.' I heard from different men. After about 30 minutes of gathering the wounded up and the bodies of the rogues, I heard a low weak howl in the distance. My Alpha hearing was far beyond that of any normal wolf so I seemed to be the only one to hear it.
Leon POV The moment I opened the door to the pack house, her scent hit me like a train. Fresh rain and lavender, tainted with the smell of antiseptic wash and blood. The noise was nearly overwhelming as people rushed about with food and drinks for the wounded that were brought here to get fixed up, as they weren't too bad, they could head back out again. Following her scent, I could tell that Aleister took her to the top floors of the pack house. That was my own personal floor that nobody would dare go near without permission, so I'm guessing he knew it was the best place to put her to keep her safe. As I entered the room, I heard beeps and saw my beautiful mate laying in my bed, head to toe she was covered in wires. My heart ached as I went over to her bedside. “Jesus put some clothes on you brute. I take it you just run here without stopping?” Aleister joked as he came out of the kitchen drying his hands. I let out a small chuckle. “Couldn't keep myself away. But I suppose you
“Mystic, can you give Nate control? Or can you at least tell us what is wrong?” Leon spoke up as he walked around to Aleister, knowing that Mystic would never go against his Alpha. “Alpha, why is Luna unconscious?” I heard myself growl out. When we first saw her, all he was doing was jumping about shouting 'we found Luna' in my head, but hes mistaken right? If Leon found his mate, he would have told me. Leon and Aleister both looked at each other, then to Juvia and finally back to me again. “Mystic why would you think she was your Luna?” Leon asked in confusion with his head cocked. “She is my Luna. I sense my Luna. Why is she not waking?” I snapped back at him, hearing more of Mystic's voice than my own. Leon's eyes were wide. Sensing a Luna? That's unheard of. Nobody should be able to tell who is mated to another, apart from those mated. And only when they are Marked and Mated, will they be known to the pack, Juvia is neither. “How do you know that though Mystic? HOW?” Leon
Leon POV “Air a fuk a I?” Came a voice from behind me and I could barely believe it. As I turned to look at the beautiful girl who was just laying there so peacefully, I couldn't speak a word. “Hold on there. Just calm down.” Aleister broke me from my frozen state as he pushed past me to the side of the bed. She looked at him and instantly she moved away, I assume she was remembering the day in the woods. He put his hands up and stepped back a little, before he started to speak to her calmly. “Juvia, I promise, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm your doctor and I've been taking care of you. If you calm down we can take the tube out.” He waited a few seconds with his hands up, waiting as she was looking him up and down, assessing his words. After a moment she slowly nodded and he moved beside her again. “Okay. I need you to lay back for me. On the count of 3 I need you to breath out. 1-2-3.” As he removed the tube, she took a few deep breaths and tried to clear her throat. Before I co
Juvia POV “Hello?” I've lost count of the amount of times I've screamed out with no replies. Screaming into a vast darkness I seemed to be trapped in. “Please. Someone.” Days? Months? Years? I don't know how long I was trapped in the cold and dark but I was ready to leave a long time ago. I know I didn't have Alice for long but I was starting to miss her sassyness. Is this how she felt for 18 years? “You're going to be alright. Just come with me.” A deep voice spoke from the distance, and as I looked in the direction of the voice through the darkness, a small light shone. The glowing getting brighter and brighter until I was surrounded. Light and warmth engulfed me as a beautiful white wolf stood in front of me. “Luna, you've been here too long. It's time to wake up.” The voice was everywhere, though the wolf stood still. Reaching out my hand, I stroked the snow white fur of the wolf and put my arm around its neck. As it lifted me up, I suddenly woke up as if from a dream. Th
Juvia POV I woke up to the sound of the door closing softly. Sitting up quickly, I looked around. I was still in the large room surrounded by the smell of earthy damp forest and dark chocolate. The smell of Leon. After I woke up from my second coma yesterday, I had some time with the twins. After a while Aleister said it was best I got some more rest before he ran some more tests. It didn't take me long after everyone left to realise this was Leon's bedroom. From the décor to the items scattered around the room, it was obvious once you looked. It was a man's room, though it was the smell that gave it away. I looked around and decided to get up to use the bathroom. As I walked across the room I noticed some small sandwiches on a tray with some ice tea and a glass of orange juice sitting on a table beside the door. That must have been what the noise was. I went into the bathroom and after doing my business I moved to the sink to wash my hands. Looking in the mirror, I couldn't hel
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
