He’s angry.
Why’s he angry ?
Is it because I slept on him ?
Did I make him angry ?
I’m sorry for hurting her, Alpha. I was only trying to help. I didn’t expect her to just jump between-
Enough, Blaine. I specifically told you- he cut himself short and the room abruptly fell silent.
I hugged myself tightly upon feeling their eyes drill into me, curling up to shield myself then lowering my head. My entire body was trembling and tears were rushing down my face.
Someone suddenly gasped, a completely new voice shouting into the room, Axel ! I can’t believe you’d make your mate cry ! A new girl yelled, her footsteps approaching me hastily and my body froze in fear.
Wait ! Don’t-
I felt my body being pulled against another and I inhaled sharply, throwing my arms to get free and my heart pounded so quickly that it started to ache.
She released me and I ran straight to Axel, squeezing onto him so tightly that my hands lost color and I shook uncontrollably. My throat felt as if it was closing and I felt woozy, crying shamelessly into his chest.
He wrapped his arms around me protectively and I instantly began calming, his scent easing my anxiety. The heat of him and the hardness of his muscles draping around my vulnerable body gave me an immense sense of security.
You can’t do that, Gabbie. We’ve went over this countless times already, he sighed in exasperation, his tone was much calmer than before, except I could hear the frustration in his words.
Sorry, she mumbled, I’m sorry, Luna, she added and I lifted my head slowly to look her over, nodding sluggishly.
I can see their resemblance. They both share bright silver eyes, curly dark hair, and tan, smooth skin. She’s flawless and it made me frown in envy.
I wish I were a werewolf.
Are you ready ? He looked down at me and I met his gaze, nodding eagerly. This made him smile slightly, lifting his line of sight to the others, everyone, leave. If you must talk to me, meet me in my office in an hour, with that, he kept me close as we left the room.
My nerves eased after we left the house, our walk was silent and peaceful. I hardly had time to enjoy it before we entered a building with bright white lights, making me squint.
Alpha Axel, how may I assist you today ? The woman behind the desk greeted and I noticed her eyes never averted from his face. She wore a huge, toothy smile on her lips that made me scoot closer into his side, a strange burst of heat rushing through me, however, something felt different this time.
I felt… angry.
Why do I want her to hurt ?
I’ll take them. Thank you, Brooke, I heard someone intervene. He walked up to us from the hall on the left, wiping the grin off her face and transferring it to mine.
We followed him and I connected gazes with the girl, sticking my tongue out until she glared and I widened my eyes, clinging onto Axel for protection.
Are you okay ? He asked, glancing down at me and I pried my eyes away from behind us, whipping my head to face him with a nod.
He scrunched his eyebrows, glancing back in the direction the girl was then at me, appearing as though he wanted to say something but never did.
This is where the procedure will take place, the man I’m assuming to be Wayne led us into a room and I analyzed it, finding it identical to the previous room I was in the last time I saw him, it’ll only take a second to complete, but we need to keep you here under observation in case your body rejects our remedy. You will fall asleep within a minute after, so do not panic if you start to feel tired or lightheaded during.
I nodded, letting go of Axel and jumping on the bed. They watched me lay back and I closed my eyes, patiently waiting for whatever he needed to do.
I want my voice back.
Woah, alright. I wasn’t expecting such an eager response, Wayne laughed then I felt a hand grab mine, making me open my eyes and stare up at Axel.
Through the corner of my eye, I caught Wayne moving to stand next to me and I went to turn my head for a better view, but Axel cupped my cheek and stopped me.
Ignore him. Look at me, beautiful, just pretend he’s not even there, he said gently and I smiled, except my body went rigid upon feeling a sharp pain pierce my neck and panic engulfed me.
I widened my eyes, staring up at him in fear and desperation, grabbing his arms tightly to urge him to help. I tried to flinch away from the origin but he kept me still, creating more panic within me.
Why is he letting him hurt me ?
I’m sorry, Angel, it’s almost over, he grimaced, pain filling his expression and my breathing fastened, my grip on him tightening until my nails pierced his skin.
Done, Wayne announced and not even a second later, the pain vanished, being followed by a wave of exhaustion.
I didn’t have time to react before my hands fell from Axel’s arm and everything blurred, my eyelids closing regardless of how hard I struggled to keep them open.
Luna ?
Shuffling was heard and I fell back onto the bed, clutching my temples and pulling at bits of my hair in attempt to ease the pain. That’s when it suddenly came to a dead stop and I relaxed slightly, anticipating it to come back.
‘Mate ?’
I jolted at the sound of another male voice and sprung into a sitting position, the previous tears in my eyes evaporated as I looked around me in confusion.
‘You can hear me ? Ah ! I’ve been trying to talk to you for soooo long but Axel won’t let me ! I love you ! I love you ! I love you ! I love yooooooooou !’
Luna !
I blinked, furrowing my brows with a frown full of panic. My eyes landed on Wayne and Gabbie, both of them staring down at me with worried eyes.
Dax pushed through, he stated and she took a seat next to me, pulling me in for a side hug that made me a bit uncomfortable.
How is this possible ? She asked, rubbing my back the same way Axel always does and I felt instant relief.
Our wolves aren’t really in our heads, Ms. Gabbie, they’re in our blood. When I injected Axel’s blood into her, I not only healed her injuries, but opened the door for Dax to reach out to her. I underestimated the amount of power Alpha blood truly carries and…
‘Blah, blah, blah ! He just loves to babble. I bet he saves money without needing to buy anesthesia, that’s for sure,’ he joked and I smiled at his words.
‘So my name’s Dax ! I’m Axel’s wolf, cutie-pie ! You’re Angelica, which I think is such a beautiful, unique, amazing name, just like you !’
Marshmallow’s real name is Dax ?
‘Marshmallow ? Aww ! That’s so adorable,’ he paused, howling, and it made my entire body erupt in tingles, making me grin to myself with a slight blush taking over my cheeks, ‘you gave me a nickname already ? I’m winning ! I have the best mate ever ! You’re so cute ! I love it ! I love it ! I love it ! Never change, my lovely Angel ! I can’t wait to see you again !’
Axel’s going to kill you, I overheard Gabbie giggle and I looked up to see she and Wayne were now standing by the counter. At that moment, the door flew open and everyone jumped, our eyes landing on the man standing in the doorway.
Speak of the devil, she muttered, rushing over to me as if she thought I was afraid of him, but I just smiled despite the killer stare he was giving Wayne.
His mere presence makes me happy.
A-Alpha ! I was just about to- he shut up when his cold stare never lessened.
