After they reviewed everything, and they heard my arguments, demanding answers for the two women missing; my mind was in shock. Why would they keep something so delicate away from me? I was completely outraged.
My father and Chansey had never seen this darker side of me. I have always regarded them with full respect, regardless of me now being their alpha.
” Why did I not know about this? As present alpha of this pack I had the right to know about these matters. Why would you keep this from me?” I yelled so fierce even I was startled back.
“Blake son, try to understand. This was a drastic measure, this decision had to be taken at the last minute. We never meant any harm. If we had known that she was your mate we would have tried to figured a way for her to not leave. Figured out a way to have sent someone else in her place.” father said
“And why didn’t you? You saw how hard it was for me to not have her here… she could have been killed.”
“But she didn’t, son. She is back home safe… and”
“And that makes things better? It just makes things worse for me. she hasn’t told me anything about
this. She has kept it a secret all this time. Do. You. Have any idea how I feel about this? She’s keeping secrets from me. She was in danger all along, gone for five years! I could have protected her!”
“Alpha, please it is not her fault. She was ordered by us to do so. She loves you my dear son. You have
to understand that this is just as difficult for you as it is for her.”
My mind was a complete whirl of frustration and misunderstanding. My wife, the lead warrior of my pack, and I did not know. How could I have not seen it? She is much braver then I’d seen, much braver…
I have taken her for granted.
“Alpha, we apologize for keeping this from you. We did not just keep this secret from you, but up to now from the day of her return, she has been kept away from her rightful duties. It is fair to say that we should speak with her and reevaluate her status with our goddess. We must find, if she is to stay as our lead warrior, or find someone to take over, her main priority now is by your side. Until then, we ask that you please try and be calm. We must not worry her more then she already is, we are aware she might be struggling to tell you the truth about her calling to our pack in terms of not hurting you. She must be devastated in her own mind of what she must do, please give us time to figure this out, we beg of you
alpha?”
I furrowed my eyebrows. This was too much for me to bare. My dear wife, a warrior? I can not allow it.
I can not bare the thought of her getting hurt.
But I know that she is strong. I sense it in her. I am at loss here either way. I just got her back after so many years away from her, to think she will be a warrior and may get hurt makes my heart ache at an inexplicable rate inside, all the way inside my soul.
“Very well,. even if I do not like the idea of our Luna being our lead warrior, I know I must not go
against what our goddess has chosen for her. I will give you until the day of my return from my meeting with our allied packs in a few weeks. Until then, she is to stay out of training and continue to live ONLY as our Luna. Is that understood?”
“Yes Alpha,” They all reply in unison.
I fixed the hem of my suit jacket, running my fingers through my hair as I exhaled a deep sight filled with turmoil. My heart felt heavy and filled with uncontrollable sadness. What am I to do if something was to happen to her? I have waited all my life for her I would not be able to withstand ever loosing her, I’d
rather die then see her gone.
“Alpha, I am as deeply surprised and shocked as you are about all this as you are; hell, here we are, both thinking my sis is off at college and she’s in the middle of combat training fuck, who knew huh? My
little sister Selene kicking ass somewhere ” Ty, my beta smirks nervously.
“Would you hear yourself? You sound just as bad as they do!! I can’t believe all this shit man. You know how worried I’ve been for my mate? Just to hear now where she’s really been makes matters worse.” I paused myself, I needed to calm myself before I started the car and took off at full speed like I tend to when I’m angry.
“Tyler, you have no idea how many thoughts are going through my fucking mind right now I could have
been protecting her all this time. Worst thing is, I have a feeling there is more to this story then meets the eye. And I am bound to find the truth one way or another.” We sat in my car, I kept running my hand through my hair and face. Frustrated and annoyed.
“So what exactly are you planning on doing?”
“I don’t know, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.” I said as I turned the ignition on. Placed it in drive and sped off back to the house. There is no way in hell I was going to keep her out my sight now.
“So, who was the other women you found in the archives Blake? You never mentioned her name. What happened to her? Is she still alive? Do you know her whereabouts?” Ty asked.
I wasn’t sure if he was ready to here who the other girl was he had already lost his first mate. I still
remember how he hurt for a long time when she died. He was weak for weeks long from the separation of his mate. His whole being was crushed. He was weak to a point I thought he was going to die as well.
