The Fate of the Unknown

Chapter 72: communication

Alexis’s POV

As Dimitri pulls back from the kiss, I feel lightheaded.

Wait, Sam and Dimitri came to save me, together? Alongside Caitlyn, Maverick, and Gentri?? How in the world did that happen?

“Can someone please explain to me what just happened?” Alec, Dimitri’s father demands.

At that moment Sam stood up and got directly in Alec’s face, “What happened was one of YOUR guards almost killed your son. Cutting him with a blade that was covered in wolfsbane!” Sam spit at him.

Alec tried to step around Sam, but couldn’t.

“Why is the son of our enemy here?” He asks angrily.

“Son of YOUR enemy. I’ve always thought this ancient hate was ridiculous. Also just so you’re aware, the only reason I am alive is because of the man you are disrespecting.” Dimitri states as he slowly stands up with my help. He is healing fast, but is still tender.

Alec turns his attention back to the angry Sam, “Is that true? How exactly did HE, save YOU?” He asks a little disgusted.

“While he was on the ground dying because of a wound inflected by YOUR guards, Sam picked him up and ran upstairs with him. He knew he could get the wolfsbane on himself as well, but he risked it anyways. He picked him up and ran up the stairs so my mom would heal YOUR son!” I yell getting angry.

I could feel the anger bubbling inside of me. The lack of care that HIS guards did to his only son. The way he was acting towards Sam. The kidnappings. Everything was rolling into a ball and I was starting to get mad.

Sam and Dimitri must have noticed I was getting angry because they both came over and grabbed my hands. The mix of their touch sent a confusing feeling of calmness through me.. However, it also sent a warmth through me.

I could feel myself becoming aroused so I quickly drop their hands.

Nope.

Not going to deal with this right now.

Both of them had a smirk on their faces. I shook my head and could feel my face blush. Ugh. Not in front of my mom and sister and his jerk of a dad!

“I want to leave, NOW!” I demand.

“You can’t. We discussed this.” Alec dismisses my want to leave.

“Why can’t she?” Caitlyn asks angrily.

He then went on to explain everything he told our mom and me. About Camilla’s death threat against me and others also looking for me. He also tried to say I was not allowed to be with Sam.

“Her relationships are not your business. She is allowed to choose what she wants to choose. YOU are not to decide anything for her. And I will kill Camilla with my bare hands if she comes near Alexis. We ARE leaving.” Dimitri says as we start to walk to the entrance.

“So you just plan to give up the title of King, all for some girl?” Alec asks pissed off.

Dimitri moves so quickly I didn’t even see him leave my side. Next thing I see is him holding his dad off the ground my his neck, with just one hand.

“You do NOT speak of her like that. She is more than ‘some girl’, she is THEE girl. I am not giving up anything. I will figure it out. Without you kidnapping anyone or threatening anyone.” He says with such a deep voice it came out almost demonic.. He then drops his dad to the ground.

He was next to me in a flash. Holding my hand.

I’m so confused. He thinks I’m ‘the one’.

His dad thinks I am too. But his dad is acting like I have to stay here? But he knows about Sam.

Does he just expect me to not be with Sam? I know I still have awhile before I’m 18 and get my wolf, 9 months, but I still feel deeply connected to both of these men…

And now after my mom telling me a story she heard as a kid about Celeste, Boris, and Alaric it makes me wonder.. Am I meant to be with both of them? Do I have to choose?? When will I know for sure? When I fully get my wolf? Or do I pretty much know already?

I have had deep feelings for both for a while. Even before Nala came as a voice of reason.

Wait.

Nala?

Is she ok? I haven’t heard from her since I was abducted.

But she probably cannot come out now and talk to me because of everyone around me.

“If you can hear me, I hope you’re ok. We have been through A LOT. I hope the injection didn’t hurt you.” I say almost pleasing to Nala.

We make it to the plane.

“Can I have a minute alone with these two? Please? On the plane?” I ask.

Everyone was back to their human form and shook their heads yes.

“We’ll stand guard while you talk. Let me do a quick check of the plane first though.” Maverick states.

I nod and he quickly went inside, after a minute was back out with the pilot.

“All clear. Dalton here said 5 minutes. Better make it quick.” Maverick informs me.

The 3 of us go onto the plane. I gestured for them to both sit and I sat across from them.

“Ok so first I want to say how glad I am to see you both.” I say gaining a smile from both of them.

“We can talk more about US later. Right now I want to discuss something my mom told me.”

“Wait before you do, i wanted to make sure you knew about who I really am. You missed a lot when you disappeared.” Sam states, Dimitri nods in agreement.

He explains everything. How my disappearance is what caused him to get his wolf early. How his parents aren’t his parents. How Quentin and Amara are his real parents. Making him the heir to the werewolf kingdom.

“I wondered after the story my mom told me. It wouldn’t make sense if you weren’t a descendant of some sort.” I state making them both look at me strangely, which made me laugh.

I then go on to inform them about what my mom told me, why the two families hate each other, about the trio from the past. I laid it all out there.

“What idiots!” Sam says annoyed.

“They just let her just slip through their fingers. Both were worried about spells and fraud, instead of focusing on the one thing that mattered. Her.” Dimitri said making my heart skip a beat.

“I know history likes to repeat itself. Which is probably how this trio has formed, BUT it will not have the same outcome.” Sam declared.

“He’s right. After losing you twice now, I refuse to lose you again. Unless you’d choose for me to leave. Then I would. But only if you asked me to. I belong to you. I am yours.” Dimitri states making me feel like I was melting.

“I feel the same way as he does. I’ve always known you were meant for me. Even when we were kids I felt a connection with you. As we have gotten older it has gotten stronger, especially when you turned 17.. Something clicked in me. I know I messed up when you left, but I will never mess up again. I will spend the rest of my life showing you that I am undoubtedly yours.” Sam states making me feel myself fully melt.

“Times up.” Dalton shouts as he comes onto the plane. Everyone else starts to follow in.

We move to the back where there is room for the 3 of us to sit together. After everyone is boarded and we take off, and I start to drift off.

This has been one of the most exhausting days, physically and mentally.

Someone put a blanket over me and then I feel Sam put his arm around me pulling me so my head rested against his shoulder, and Dimitri has my hand in between both of his hands.

With the amount of exhaustion and comfort I was feeling, I drift quickly to sleep.

Dreaming of both Sam and Dimitri.
