The Wolf Pup That Lived II Alyra's Second Chance (Completed

Chapter 2

The end of the week came fast, the last of my stuff was packed in trunks and taking to the lobby for Sam, Alex, and Dave to pick up.  I look back at another empty room in my life.

Connor, Theron, and the children are waiting in the lobby to say their goodbyes to me and Xavier.  I met Xavier in the hallway going towards the grand staircase for the last time.  Xavier says "ready mom?"  I tell him "yes sweetheart, and are you ready?"  Xavier nod his head and sticks his arm out for me to grab to help me down the grand staircase like a gentlemen.

I give all my children a kiss and tell them "I love them very much and they can visit whenever they want to". I turn to Theron and Connor looking at them for the very first time since a year.  I tell them "Its for the best trust me".  Connor starts tearing up.  Theron and Connor watch me leave with Xavier out the door.

Once outside I stop and Xavier says "mom".  The first time in my life I felt free and took in the smell of the fresh Fall air.  Sam, Alex, and Dave noticed the change in me.  I tell Xavier "nothing sweetheart I am fine".

I looked to my right and saw the entire Moon Claw Pack with sad faces bidding me and Xavier farewell.  I bowed my head to them and continued walking towards my mustang that Sam brought to pick me and Xavier up in.  Xavier looked at the mustang and said in a low voice "wow".  I tell Xavier "It was my very first car and my last.  A lot of memorizes in this old sweetheart, maybe sometime I will tell you about it.  Sam had a big smile on his face knowing who I was talking about.

After a 25 minute drive we drove up to a victorian mansion with big black gates surrounding it.  I tell Xavier "welcome to your new home".  Sam looks at Xavier and says "I haven't seen you in a longtime but boy you are all grown up into a man now".  Xavier says "thanks". 

Sam turns to mom and says "everything is ready including the rooms.  The staff is already here also and waiting to meet you.  The advisor will be here tomorrow though.  Me, Alex, Dave, G-Man, Rex, Emily, Lucas, and Nolan are staying here also with you and Xavier.  The house is going to be packed tonight and all the family will be together again...almost".

Alex, and Dave ask Xavier "which bags you want to carry to your new room?"  Xavier decided to play coy with Alex and Dave while saying "I am the crown prince why should I carry any".  Alex and Dave looked at him while saying "you can be crown prince of a pile of dog s**t, but you are carrying something".   Xavier starts laughing at them.  Alex and Dave laugh while shaking their heads saying "come on you little squirt".

For the first time in a year I smiled so much at that moment it hurt.  Sam says to me "don't smile too hard you might crack into pieces".   I playfully slap his arm still smiling while making my way into the mansion.  I greet the staff with Xavier and give the usual speech.

The standard room for royalty everything you could want.  I decide to change my room and pick a common room which still had the basic functions just not all the extravagant drapes and stuff.  Sam peeked around the corner and said "I think your in the wrong room?"  I look at him and said "I am Queen and this is the room I want" while laughing at him.  Sam says "I miss that Alyra you know".  I said to him "so do I " while I started crying.  Sam closed the door and held me while saying "everything will be okay Alyra, we are all here for you.  You will never be alone again".

After I finished crying my heart out in Sam's arms he left me to setup my new room.  I need to finish Xavier training before I can search for the witch that the travelling wolves talk about. I would need my Sire werewolves involved to find her, especially Alex mad computer skills. 

After 2 hours I finally made a decent room without the extravagant crap that collects dust.  I make my way to the foyer to settle my nerves, but found everyone having the same ideal.  I hug Lucas, Nolan,  pregnant Emily, Rex, and G-Man and ask them how they been.  Unfortunately they already knew my situation with the Alphas.  

Me and Emily made our way to the kitchen and started making some dinner for everyone like old times.  Xavier watched me in the kitchen and said "Mom I didn't think you could cook".  I tell Xavier "your mother wasn't always a Queen and lived in mansions".  I look at Emily and back at Xavier...I start telling Xavier about a werewolf named Caleb Knight.  He was my first love...remember I told you about the mustang and the memorize it carries... its about him.  He protected me even though it drove me nuts, he showed me how to love and he made the world stop just for us".   Xavier says "you really loved him I can tell just the way you describing him, and the smile on your face that I haven't seen in years.  What happen to him?" 

A rogue pack came calling one day, we just had our houses built.  Emily says "Its was a beautiful place, but it had to many bad memorizes then happy ones".  Emily is right but I needed to make a choice to save only Caleb and leave everyone else die, and I couldn't do it so I left Caleb go.  He died to save us all in the end.  Your fathers was at the battle coming to save me also".   Xavier says "I am sorry mom".  Sam and the others were in the kitchen listen quietly about me talking about Caleb in front of Xavier.  

I look at Xavier and say " I never regret having you and the rest of my children, you are my life and never forget that.  I had twins before you with Caleb but they never made it to full term.  I was poisoned when I was pregnant they died and I survived.  I see them when I go to spirit world.. your brother is named Dixon, and your other sister is Morgan.  They are taller then you but just as beautiful.  I promised Caleb I would live for both us even though I didn't know how.  I eventually figured it out..but...".  Xavier says " but what?"  I tell him "nothing" while continuing cutting the meat.  Sam and the rest of the guys know something is wrong, and tell Xavier "want to learn how to play pool?"  Your mother sucks at it, but she thinks she is a pro.

I shake my head and say "that is what you think, I never said I was a pro".   Everyone starts laughing.  Xavier says "what did you say mom?"  I look at him with a smile on my face and say "I said as long as you can get the balls in the whole that is all that matters" while trying not to laugh but couldn't help myself.  I tell Xavier "go and ripe them a new one on that pool table will you for me".  Xavier says "you got it mom" before leaving the room.

After supper we all settled into the foyer talking about the old times while G-Man still trying to beat Xavier at pool.  I never felt so free being in that moment with my Sire werewolves.  Sam, Alex, and Dave noticed me changing back to old Alyra and it felt so good to be me, but it brought back so many memorizes of me and Caleb.  I almost broke down in front of Xavier in the foyer but G-Man took Xavier out of the foyer before he could see me.

Sam and Alex stayed close to me while saying "I wondered when you would break.  You know your not a stone wall".   I say "I don't know what to do?  I hate being so broken and alone.  I have been thinking of Caleb since I heard a witch could open a portal to other realities.  The witch has the ability to take you back to a moment in time and let you change it.  I want to go back and save all of you before the attack by not going to Incline Village, picking another spot for our houses".  Everyone looks at me and says "things happen for a reason Alyra and we can't change that sweetie.  That is just a stupid rumor someone made up and got back to you.  We all miss Caleb but we can't bring him back".  I tell them "but what if we could?"

Sam says "go to the spirit world Alyra and talk to Caleb, but don't go down this road".  I lean my head on Sam chest and say "I can't because if I do I don't want to leave, and Caleb doesn't want me to go down that road either.  If I do this I will lose Xavier, Jaxson, Koda, Brianna, and Bianca.  I don't know if I could lose them.  I don't know what to do, I can't live like this anymore".   Sam says "you need sleep Alyra, everything is hitting you all at once, because of your mates cheating on you.  Trust me you will feel better in time sweetie".

Sam brings me to my room with tears still running down my face.  Xavier peeked around the corner and noticed me crying.  Xavier walked back into the foyer and says "mom is crying because of what dad has done to her isn't it?"  Emily says "your mom has a lot on her mind and she is unable to handle it right now.  Everything will be fine in time Xavier.  I need you to stay strong and stay by your mother side".  Xavier says "I can do it, I have been watching her go down hill for a longtime now, but I never saw her cry like that before".  Emily says "she needs to cry and get everything off her chest she has been holding back".  Xavier says "I understand" while walking out of the foyer and back to his bedroom.
