Returning Home

Chapter 08 - The First Move

POV - Jake

we had been in the car for hours silently driving. We took Axels car as Felix had taken Amelia's and this was Axel and I had a clear way home.

over the drive I cleared up my plan in my head I would go in on my own to the house and speak with her. No matter what I said or what she said I would come out and tell Axel she didn't want him. Then he would want to leave or want to reject her. If he didn't reject her today he surely would when we all return from our studies. but if he got the chance to talk to her she might say something. So really I need to put this off and just settle in their minds that they need to reject each other.

"Axel, it will all be okay. She loves you, you love her, it will work" Amelia softly tried to sooth him but she was an i***t. He is to be the Alpha of the pack. Love does not come into it unless you love the right person. He and she were both blind puppies.

I am about 3 years older than them all but I had to wait for my Alpha to be of age to study. He has been so preoccupied with my sister he lost his sights and he needed to get clear before training. this was best for everyone.

"My heart feels like it's breaking apart. I am not sure what she heard exactly but I made it clear to my father I would be rejecting Dee" he sounded somber and like he couldn't understand what was happening. I think I may have figured it out that she heard him talking of rejection and felt it was about her.

Of course she ran though she is weak she always runs the always tried to get away. Pathetic. it's funny because if she had stayed to talk none of this would be happening. i would probably get a beating from Alpha Ramone for letting it go that far but they would be together.

we finally arrived at the flat. It was nice I could see Amelia's car out the front so I knew Felix was here and it was time for my first move.

"Guys I know you are her friends, and ahhh mate... but I think I am the best person to go in there and support he to make the right choice. She is my sister" I put on a fake little pout looking sad.

"Jake, please bring her back to me" Axels voice was so pained. I did like him and it hurt that he hurt but it was only temporary. How strong could the bond really be anyway. My father easily moved on after his loss. Axel would too. I didn't care to even look for my bond I was satisfied f*****g anyone who was worth my time.

I got out of the car walking to the door and knocked. "it's open" Felix meeked out.

the house was nice, a bit gothic, but nice. The door was bright red and the rest of the house was black metal cladding, dark tinted windows and ShouSugi wood. the inside was green mostly with oranges and it wasn't really my thing, a little much. it was probably the best place for my sister to move on with her life surrounded by other super natural beings and Humans who were much more similar to her and likely more appropriate as mates. She hadn't and couldn't mark Axel so he would not feel anything if she moved on and she would live with any pain he causes when he chooses Dee. She's weak but I am sure she will understand and get over it.

"Felix. I'm so sorry. Tell me what happened" she had puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks as she snuffeled away her tears and told me everything. I understand now where the miss understanding came from it was as I suspected and this would work well.

"I am so sorry I was so weak I hope Dee will forgive me" she was so sensitive even though she was not at wrong I felt guilty wash over me but I knew this was right.

"Felix, sweet heart. you're my little sister. The baby of the family. we expect you to make mistakes. He is a fool to want to reject you but you have to understand"

"i can't face the rejection now. I know why it must happen but I feel so weak and stupid and I can't take it I need to get through my studies..." he started sobbing again she really was innocent, and right about the stupid thing. this was going perfect "do you think he can wait untill after the studies. I promise I will accept his rejection then."

Perfect taking the words out of my mouth. She was more well versed in my plans than I was. "of course little one. I will talk with him and make him leave you be for now. You just study up and come back to work for the pack and we will straighten it out then." i gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead and got up to leave "Amelia will be in soon. Maybe it's best just not to talk about all of this... you know how she loves her brother." my back was to her so I couldn't help but smile at my own work. I am good.

"Ahh... Okay. Jake thank you I love you" she sobbed again as I left.

"I love you too little sister" and i closed the door going back to the car bringing back my sad look from before.

POV - Axel

I could have sworn he was smiling when he came out I got my hope up. but he looks sad the closer he got.

My heart dropped

my head went fuzzy and i felt like throwing up.

"What happened in there" Amelia said what I couldn't

"She just couldn't see reason. She said not to talk to her about it untill after study that she would no speak with anyone regarding it but that when she came back she was expecting the rejection?? I don't quite understand but did you try to reject her Axel? she seems set on it and set on not talking" he sounded confused but his words were filled with pitty.

"he's lying... go in there and clear things up. tell her how you feel." Atlas whined. he was so hopeful but he was acting so stupid

"she doesn't want us enough of this" I growled back. it may be a bit harsh but it was the truth.

"I will do as she wishes" I hung my head whispering the words. Amelia wrapped me in a hug and whispered to me so only I could hear.

"i will clear this up Axel. I don't know what happened but she is in love with you... you haven't lost her. Just give it time. I will keep you updated while we are all away" she pulled back giving Jake a tight lipped smile like she didn't trust him just like Atlas. But I know him I know he is loyal to the Alpha family he wouldn't do anything to hurt us.

With that we said our goodbyes to Amelia and drove off as she entered their flat. I would make this right. Amelia would help me. This won't be the end. It can't be...

She is mine.

Only mine.

and I am hers.

Forever hers.
