Milo POV.
They saved him, they did it for me, and I should be very thankful, I should be so happy, he’s back and he’s here with me now. When she disappeared, when I came by her room and didn’t see her, I was terrified over where she went, where she disappeared, I knew she was with Theo, or else she wouldn’t have been able to get far away from the pack land, or from me.
I was going insane when she disappeared, I don’t trust Theo, he might be my mate, we’re getting closer to each other as the days passed, but Theo don’t trust me still and I don’t do him, he doesn’t respect my power over him, I’m the alpha and he’s not, and that makes him angry, that pisses him off which makes our whole relationship a full on mess.
“What if he took her and ran away?” I say on the verge of tears, I’m terrified, I have lost James, I’m losing my mate and my soul, and what hurt the most was losing my soul, she’s my everything.
“If he knows what’s best for him, he wouldn’t dare,” dad assures me, but we both knew that he couldn’t do it, but he might, he’s the unstable card around here.
“We never know dad,” I whined as I called my mate again and again, I don’t know what’s wrong with her, but she won’t allow me to talk to her, she’s either too scared or forced to ignore me.
“She’s too far away,” Mom says looking at me with worry in her eyes.
“What do you mean?” I ask her.
“Mellie, shut it,” Dad warn her, I feel like a child, sitting in my parents home, whining over the lost of my soul and mate.
“What do you mean mom?” I ask her, ignoring dad.
“If there’s a lot of distance between you two, she wouldn’t be able to hear you, she’s still new to all of this,” Mom says and dad growls with anger, she shouldn’t have told me, but I heard it.
“It’s okay dad, I need to know,” I say with a sigh, at least now I know.
I sat in my room and waited for her to talk to me, to answer me, to do anything, the night passed, the morning came and nothing, she didn’t answer me, it was until around noon until she called me, she called my phone, she told me that she’s coming back and I waited for her with worry filling my whole body.
She finally came home, she came home with James, they did save him, but my worry had the best of me, I was terrified that I might lose her, that I might loose my baby, my soul she was my treasure, now that I got her home and settled it’s time to deal with James, he’s back, he’s alive, he doesn’t want to be alive, but he came along with them, he could have said no any moment now, but he didn’t he played along, he came here with them.
“Where do you want to go?” I ask him, does he want to go to my place? Out? To the woods.
“A restaurant, or any place with hot food,” he says and I nod.
“Fine,” I agree with him.
“Or wait, did Aunt Millie cook?” he asks me with a smile on his face, Millie is dad’s name to mom and anyone who calls her that is just pissing dad off.
“Don’t call her that,” I say with a chuckle.
“Did she cook?” James asks me again.
“Yeah, she did cook, I’ll take us home, you can eat and then we’ll talk,” I say knowing that we need to talk, we have to talk.
“Food first,” James agrees with me.
We got home and I have never seen my mom so happy or my dad so surprised, they’re usually the ones in charge they never show their emotions, but they did right now, the way they looked at him as if he came back from the grave, which he did practically.
“I can’t believe you survived,” Mom says hugging him tight, she didn’t let him go, not until dad stepped in, he doesn’t care if he’s young enough to be her son, he’s a jealous wolf.
“I can’t believe it either, now aunt Millie did you make any food?” he asks her making my father growl out loud, it’s not the vampires that’s going to kill him, it’s my father.
“Let’s go feed you before my husband eats you for dinner or kill you and feed you to the wolves,” Mom says with a chuckle, pushing him toward the kitchen and away from dad.
“Go with them and make him keep his distance,” dad order me and I join them in the kitchen, mom made James a giant plate of food and he demand that it be heated up twice, since he’s been eating cold food since the day it all happened.
“How did it happen?” I ask him watching him take another bite of his food.
“They came in the night, they had weapons, they took over, they killed everyone, kept me for last, but I got away,” James answers me.
“I meant how did my soul and mate do it?” I ask him, I’m sure that Stella would hide any dangerous part from me, and Theo would plain on lie.
“They are crazy, how did you allow them to come in?” James asks me.
“Simple, they didn’t ask permission,” I answer him.
“Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission,” mom agrees with them.
“Is that what you’re teaching my soul?” I ask her.
“Yes,” mom answers me right away, she didn’t even bother to hide it from me.
“What happened?” I ask James.
“They came in asking for me, hell, they don’t even know what I look like and they’re here looking for me, the way her voice sounded, the way he acted, I felt the urge to follow them, to get to them,” He answers me, and I had a feeling I understood what he meant, I’ve been feeling the same toward them both, it’s why I couldn’t let her go even when I knew that she’s Theo’s soul, I couldn’t let her go.
“What happened next?” I ask him.
“I saw the vampires chasing them, they didn’t even know that they are wolves and they followed them, and so I got in the middle, we caught up and they told me that they are there to get me, and so I agreed with them, I came here with them,” James says with a shrug.
I decided to stay quiet, I decided to not talk until we are all alone, Mom was very proud of them two while I still had my doubts, I waited for him to finish his food and so we went to my room, closing the door behind us so we could talk privately.
“Go ahead,” James says looking at me with tired eyes, we both knew that there’s more to the story he has told me. ”
“Why did you come? An alpha falls with his pack, if you wanted to be saved you would have done that on your own,” I say, it’s what we’re taught since a young age, an alpha always falls with their pack.
“I was waiting for death,” he starts which sounded very normal for us, he should be dead with his own pack, but then he sighed, he gave me a look, it’s one of a desperate man who found a glimpse of hope.
“I don’t know what happened, I don’t know how it happened, it doesn’t make any sense,” James says sounding frustrated.
“I wanted to die, I was ready to die, and then I heard her, and I saw him, Milo, none of this make sense, and now that you’re here with me, I want to live, for them, for you,” he says getting closer to me, our lips almost touching.
“We’re cousins,” I say, that’s why we can’t, even if I want it to be, I can’t be with him, I can’t be close to him.
“I’m your mother distant cousin on her father’s side, we don’t even share blood,” he says, I knew that, but everyone call us cousins.
“You call her auntie,” I say.
“Only to piss your father,” James answers me.
“Everyone think we are cousins,” I say, people would look at us weird.
“We’ll tell them to fuck off, if you don’t want this, death would be easier,” James says.
“James, we’re both alpha’s, it won’t work like that,” I say, we’re both dominant, and we can’t be together.
“Look at me Milo! Fuck look at me! I’m an alpha with no pack, with no land, with nothing, I’m a loner! If we’re not going to do this, if you don’t want me, if you don’t me to be there with them, then kill me,” he says pointing to himself he sounded so desperate, he was ready to give up everything.
“What if they say no?” I ask him, I can’t assure their answer, I don’t know how they would react, even if I said yes.
“Would you let me try?” he asks, kissing me, the only answer he needed was me kissing him back, letting him dominate the kiss for a second before I took control again, we shared the kiss, we both took our turn kissing one another.
James was starting to get handy, touching me everywhere, but here’s the deal he’s not the only alpha, every time he touched me, I touched him back, every grip I gripped him back, we were equal, but one of us was going to win, and even if we’re taking turns now, it won’t always be like this.
“Theo won’t like any of this, he’s gonna try to kill you,” I say between kisses, taking my shirt off.
“Let him try, I’ll have fun beating his ass,” James answers me.
“You can’t hurt his ego, he saved you,” I warn him, maybe it’s best if he took a beating or two from Theo.
“I saved him while he saved me, and where the hell did he learn how to steal cars?” James asks me with a scuff.
“He has a history,” I say, he’s one that has a lot in his past, most of it being in troubles.
“And you allow him to be near the little princess?” he asks me and I groaned what a mood killer, Theo hates the fact that she’s a little, he hates littles in general, and every time I try to push her into little space, he pushes her out of it.
“What’s going on?” James asks me, he too was out of the mood now.
“He’s not too happy about the fact that she’s a little,” I groaned, James agree with me, souls should be pushed into headspaces, it makes their life easier, especially that they belong to us.
“Then I should be allowed to beat his ass,” James says.
