Alpha Chase and his Beautiful Witch

Chapter Six

Emily

My eyes begin to refocus and so do my senses, I suddenly realise that I am in the arms of the most gorgeous man I have ever seen in my life.  He looks as if he had been sculpted by the Moon Goddess herself.  His Green eyes were the colour of emeralds, while his brown shaggy hair looked messy but cute at the same time.  A beautiful smile was beginning to creep over his strong masculine face, forming two of the cutest dimples I had ever seen.  His smell was so calming, it was hard to put into words, maybe like marshmallows but not as sweet.  I was shaken out of my daze as the Greek G-d before me began speaking 

“Hello my beautiful mate!”His voice was like hot warm liquid on a freezing day. I began relaxing into the words when they suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks.  Mate!! What???, Who?? I took a step back wanting to give myself some space but in true Emily style I tripped over my own feet backwards onto the steps.  Luckily those strong warm hands caught me again.  No matter how hard I tried I could not stop staring at him.  Throughout my entire life I had never ever looked at a man.  Not one had ever held my interest, no matter what they looked like, the idea of them touching me had always repulsed me.  But here, standing here now, I was unable to take my eyes off of him.  I didn’t want him to let me go or stop staring.  Our gaze was broken by someone clearing their throat in the room.  I looked around to see my family staring at us, along with a very tall, powerful looking man.  I immediately scan the room for Cara, feeling the stress beginning to rise again.  I begin to relax when I see her in the same daze as me, in the arms of a man that looked quite similar to the one standing in front of me.  She didn’t look in distress so I calmed down enough to listen to what my father was saying.  

“Emily, Cara, you have found your mates, I couldn’t be happier, let’s all sit, calm down and talk about the last few events.” My father’s voice was elated.  I had not heard him that giddy in years.  Suddenly a rough firm voice boomed “My boys, finally, and the Power of the Lavarose to top it off.  This is a day to celebrate!”  The voice I believed belonged to Alpha Richard as he smacked my father on the back.  

“Emily”, the calm voice spoke again.  My name was rolling off his tongue as if he had always spoken it.  I looked into his green orbs.  “My name is Chase, that is my brother Kai, we are the next Alpha and Beta of the Blood Moon Pack”.  

“Chase…….”

A low growl escaped his mouth as I murmured his name.  Staring into his eyes, something passed between us that let me know that the growl was not dangerous, it was something different, animalistic but gentle, only meant for me.  He did not realise that I could read his mind, feel his emotions.  Everything in him was oozing love, devotion, relief.  He reached for my hand, I placed it in his.  Two pieces of a puzzle fitting perfectly together.  The rough of his skin enveloping the smoothness of mine.  We slowly walked down the remainder of the steps to join the rest of our families in the lounge.  Cara was already seated on a large sofa with Kai on the one side of her.  She patted the place next to her, knowing I would want to be next to her.  I sat down immediately with Chase sitting on my left.  His arm wrapped around my shoulders as if that was where they had always belonged.  How could something so new feel so right so quickly.  

My father began to speak “Before I tell you the entire story, I must let you know that my daughters can read minds.  So if there is something you do not want them to know, you need to try and shut your mind, they are your mates and I trust your father, no one else knows this ability they have and it needs to be protected at all costs”.  

“I don’t mind you knowing what I am thinking”, I look up at Chase who has a massive smirk on his face.  He knew I could hear him talking to me alone.  Some of his thoughts were so vivid, I tried to block them out as a blush began to form on my face.  I gently slapped him to which he let out a chuckle, Kai was chuckling too, one look from Alpha Richard stopped them straight away. 

 I couldn’t help but smile, I love the fact that they respected their father.  

My father glared at them, which left Chase squirming a bit in his seat.  

My mother began to speak “My daughters and I belong to a long line of witches called the Coven of the Lily Rose.  Our family can be dated back hundreds and hundreds of years.  Every female born is always a witch and always mated to a high ranking wolf.  Every male born is always a strong male werewolf with the blood of their father running through their veins.  We are the only coven of witches who completely belong to the werewolf clans.  It was a deal created by the first of our coven, Delia Lily, our mates would be powerful and loving, enough to help calm our overwhelming powers.  In return our powers would always protect our mates and their packs.  The Moon Goddess promised to always mate us with Wolves who were pure of heart and would only use our powers for the protection of innocents.  Our powers can only serve our mates pack, and can’t be used negatively on our mates.  My power relates to the earth, I can make things grow - grow too much if needed.  I can move plants, grow vines quickly, I can hide things in a few seconds or make the plants move back and clear a path.  My daughters are far more powerful than myself.  Every 4  generations, twin girls are born, one with eyes of emerald green and one with eyes of the clearest blue.  These two girls will be more powerful than any witch before them and must be kept protected till their true mates make themselves known.  One will belong to the earth and fire while the other will belong to the wind and water.  They will be able to read minds from the age of 8, but their true powers will be fulfilled the night of the mating and marking.  These two acts must be completed at the same time by their true mates only.  Only then will their full powers be able to show themselves.  

Silence filled the room as each person began to process the information my mother was giving.  I could feel my mothers emotions and noticed as my father pulled her into his side and began rubbing small circles on her palm.  Her breathing began to regulate while my father continued the story.  

“We had decided to keep the identity of the girls a secret.  Alpha Thomas, my friend” you could feel the sadness in my fathers voice, he had been friends with Alpha Thomas his entire life and because of trying to save us, has not had a moment to mourn him. “ and the Alpha of the Blue Wave pack agreed with our decision.” My father continued... “ He knew that if anyone found out about the girls, they would want them for themselves so that they could have their powers.  We therefore had to keep the fact that my wife was a witch a secret as well.  It was sad to live like that as it is in her nature to help and protect.  But we knew from the minute the girls opened their eyes that we had given birth to the Power of the Lavarose.  Everyone in the pack thought that my wife and daughters were human.  They pretty much left them alone, boys tried to ask them out…” Two growls filled the room, my father waited for Chase and Kai to calm down before he continued.  “About a week ago, Reis and Kai were working with their father when they came across a document stating who the girls were.  They confronted their father and demanded to know why he had not shared the information with them.  Thomas was truthful. He knew the boys would be angry, but I don’t think he realised how angry and hungry for power they would become.  Reis and Leo are the worst kind of wolves you can come across.  They use their status for power and control.  They sleep around and have hurt many of the girls in the pack.  They found out a while ago that they were mated to two she- wolves with no status.  After finding out about Em and Ca, they decided to reject their mates and force my girls to be their mates.” More growls began to emerge, I took Chase’s hand in mine and gently began to rub his fingers, his breathing calmed down and my dad carried on.  

“ The boys knew that their father would never agree to this decision, so they planned a Rogue attack and ensured their father was killed during it.  No one could question them as the next Alpha’s of the pack.  They are wicked but powerful as well.”

You could see that Alpha Richard was seething, Uncle James, Aunt Casey, Chase and Kai were all growling, showing their anger and disgust at the situation.  To kill one’s father for more power is completely against the werewolf code.  Cara and I could see that this pack respected each other and were completely different to the Blue Wave Pack.  

“As soon as I found out about their plan I phoned Casey and James to ask for your help.  Emily had told me about the times that she had read their minds at school.  They acted as Doms towards girls and wanted someone who would be their Sub.  Any disobedience would be physically punished.  The more pain, the more blood, the more they were turned on.” 

Chase started moving me closer to him, I could see from the corner of my eye that Kai was doing the same thing to Cara.  I understood his need and allowed him to hold me as I knew it was the only thing keeping him from ripping something apart.  

“We told the girls to be as convincing as possible, that we had planned this trip for so long.  The girls are not good at lying, but they knew if they didn’t convince them that they wanted to be with them they would never let us go.  Luckily they are pretty self absorbed and never asked any questions about your pack or where it was situated.  They just assumed it was a nearby pack.  We told them we would be back on Thursday.  I must be honest before you accept us,  once we join your pack, they will know that we have left, they will feel the bond breaking.  They want the girls, they want their power.  I believe they will do anything to get it..”

A thick tension filled the room, no one spoke as we let my fathers words settle.  My heart started racing and I knew Cara was feeling the same way as me.  What if they reject us, this could start a war, what if it’s too much????

“I know what you are thinking”, that beautiful melodic voice whispered in my ear. “ I have spent the last few years searching for you, there is no way that I am letting you go.” His lips grazed my cheek, leaving little sparks as he moved down my neck, breathing in my scent to help him calm down.  

“My son’s would never reject their mates, no matter who they are.  We are privileged that the Moon Goddess herself thought my son’s were powerful enough and pure of heart to earn these powerful mates.  If Reis and Leo think they are going to take one foot on my territory they have another thing coming to them.”.  

My father’s eyes began to twinkle, a pride filling them.  I knew there and then that he had made a good decision.  Alpha Richard was truly a good man.  

“Once the girls are marked and mated, can Reis and Leo still take them away?”  I hear Kai firmly asking.  

“The girls are vulnerable until they are marked and mated by their mates, until that happens anyone can take them.”  An angry rumble began to form from all the males in the room.  

“I know this is soon”, Alpha Richard now looks towards Cara and myself, “but based on the information, I feel that we should have the mating ceremony as soon as possible.”.

All eyes were on Cara and myself as we stared at each other, beginning our silent conversation.  

I pushed the uncomfortable feeling of being the centre of attention out of my thoughts and focused on what Cara was sending me in my mind.  It made me smile, “We both looked towards our father, “Dad, what are your thoughts?” 

My dad smiled a loving grin, appreciative of the fact that we were showing respect in a pack where his status was gone.  It did not matter to us, he was our father, a man worthy of love and respect.  

“If you feel you girls are ready, it is the safest thing to do”.  We nodded in agreement.  Without even looking at Chase I could feel him smiling at me.  Cheeky monkey I thought.  I gave him a little slap on the leg, did he forget that I could read his mind?  Now it was his time to blush.
