Alex POV
Mom who is she? looking at the picture by the vanity. That's Caroline my best friend, my one and only true
friend. She's a witch but a good one. We didn't care about my status in life. She stayed loyalty to me and gave her life to save what is mine. Mom said wiping tears from her eyes. Mom don't cry please. I just ask. I didn't mean to pry. Ahhhh Ouch... I'm sorry mom my head hurts again. I said clenching my head, I've been having this headache for days now. I thought. Have you been having this? Mom ask rubbing my back and helping me sit down. Yes since the attack I had recently. I said annoyed in the thought of what happen. I've been having nightmares too, So I've been restless and been lack some sleep. But I'll be alright. I added. -What nightmares my dear? My Mom asked sounding concern. It's nothing mother you don't need to be concern. I'll take a quick nap and I should be able to get ready for tonight. Jared should be here soon. I want to be ready when he gets here. I said not telling her about the nightmares. I don't need my Mother worrying about me and stressing her out. I started heading to my room and took a quick nap.
*(Convo between Isabella and Maximus)*
Isabella my love, what is wrong?
Maximus, her nightmares are coming back. She saw Caroline's picture. I won't be surprise if she her picture again at The Blood Moon. I'm afraid of her getting hurt again. We just have to tell Jared about it, he needs to be aware of the story, specially the part where Alexandria is involve. Not a day pass by without me thanking Caroline for saving our daughter. But I'm thankful that Alexandria forgets who she's with that night. I don't want her to blame herself for anything.
*(End of Convo between Isabela and Maximus)*
Jared POV
Jared my dear, you're here. Can we speak with you? Alex is still in her room, she wasn't feeling good earlier so she took a nap. Luna Isabella said grabbing me in the arm and walked me to the living area. Yes off course is there something wrong? I said a bit concern, Is this the part where parents of the girl have the serious talked to the boyfriend. I chuckled in my head on the thought.
It's about your mother. She said with a bit hesitation on her tone. I'm sorry but what about my Mother? I said curiously.
Caroline is Alexandria's godmother. The child that your mother protected with her life was and is Alexandria. I gasp on the information, she then continued. That night we all went to the council's meeting to discuss the issue with The Witch Gideon. On the way back home, Me, Caroline and Alexandria are travelling in one car. It was the night I was abducted and the rest of the pack was ambush. You're Mother Caroline protected Alexandria by casting a spell to bind her wolf. So the enemies will think she is dead. She said holding my hands and I can see a brim of tears in her eyes. So my mother is the reason for Alex being wolf-less?! why did she do that? My mother is the reason why Alex' is suffering!! I said in despise of the thought.
Jared she is the reason why Alex is alive. Your mother did what she thinks is the best for Alex. With Caroline doing the binding, suppressing the wolf, she saved Alex. Alex maybe wolf-less but she is a were-witch since Caroline passed her powers to Alex. Alex didn't know of this. When she woke up after the attack, she barely remember what happen, all she said is, Red eyes and the rotten smell. she was only 5 yrs old. Her mind lock some of her memories because of the trauma. But we are afraid it's trying to surface again, she's been having nightmares of rogues again. I'm afraid that if she remembers the details of that night , she'll blame herself for you're loss. Luna Isabella grab my hands tighter.
We are not trying to hide anything from her, but the moment she woke up, she immediately blames herself for all of the deaths that have occurred that night and she said she just wanted to die. I loss Caroline already I won't let her sacrifice goes no where. She gave her life to my daughter. I want to protect them as much as I can. She said sobbing from the thought of the event.
Do not fret, for I would never want any harm to Alex. My Mother did sacrifice her life to save Alex but I'm protecting her just because I love her. Not for anything or anyone else. I said sternly, worried about Alex and confuse on how to feel towards my mother.
Jared please do not blame your mother for what she did. Trust me I don't. Luna Isabella said grabbing my cheeks, wiping the tears in my eyes that I didn't even know I have falling.
But every time I will see Alex knowing that she is wolf-less, I would think of how my mother deprive her of life. If you are done talking to me I would like to see my mate. I said in respect and stood up to leave the room.
The thought of my mother dying trying to save someone, makes me feel prove but I feel resentful with the realization of her binding Alex' wolf. I will protect Alex from everything and I will make sure no harm comes to her. I thought.
Jared I didn't like what your mom did with Alex, but if she didn't do that we would not have Alex at all. sometimes sacrifices needs to be made to be able to save someone we love, don't you agree. You don't have to forget but you need to forgive eventually. Maybe not now or anytime soon, but you will. Jake reasoned out. I try to shrug him off, and went to Alex room. I knock no answer. I open it to see if she is awake but she wasn't in the bed. I immediately open the door and walk in side her room. I started looking for her.
Alex? Baby where are you? I said. panic sets in, when I suddenly heard her voice from the closet. What are you doing here? she said. I was looking for you, I'm sorry. I didn't see anything I swear. Putting my head down, I do not want to disrespect her privacy. I felt her walking towards me, my heart started to palpitate I felt nervous. she then grab my hands and whisper to me. Look at me Jared! She then step back, and when I finally look at her my heart skip a beat, she looks stunning with her Light purple no sleeve dress, long enough to cover her ankles, the high slit that ends by her bikini line, the front cut barely covers her chest, she then turned around so I can see the back of the dress and HOly shitz her dress is an open back that ends just above her natal cleft. She have her silver hair in a bun with some loss strands on the side framing her heart shape face. natural light make-up. I starred at her for Goddess knows how long until I heard Olivia Gasp from behind.
OMG I love it!! Brother you better mark her soon or else someone might just snatch her from you. Olivia snarling comment.
I will kill anyone who touch her! I looked at Olivia and growl. Other than Tony, Olivia is the only one that
pushes my buttons and get away with it.
I'm just saying, you two should hurry!! Olivia said giggling looking at me and Alex before walking out of the room.
I grab Alex on her waist, she gasp from contact. I swear you've reach the limits of sexiness with those perfect eyes. I can smell your arousal baby, I whispered.
She look at me, I can see lust in her eyes. I felt heat in my hands when I move my hand to her back. I cup her face and kissed her. My lips brushed into hers, softly, delicately. Like a butterfly wings, just long enough that she could inhale my breath, fell the warm of my skin to hers, and taste my love. I then gently bite her lower lips before pulling away. I gave her a quick peck in the lips to finish and grab her hands.
We don't want to be late baby, lets go? I looked at her and she's pouting and smiled. Goddess I love this woman, I need to get her to the party before I regret my next actions. I feel the heat and lust is just pushing my body to devour her. -Take here now!! Jake said pouncing in my head. Jake calm down boy, we can't, we have to wait remember! I try calming Jake who is pouncing non stop and just being aggressively horny in my head. I have to block him for now.
Alex POV
That kiss is just pushing me to the edge, he can smell my arousal. I don't know how he can control himself and his wolf Jake. I mean I'm barely holding on, if I have a wolf it's a done deal. I would have been on top of him already. I'll let him pound me like there is no tomorrow! I thought, f**k I'm that horny for this man, that I've thought about stuff like this. We finally reach the ballroom a lot of guest came to witness my brother and Cassandra being officiated. After the ceremony, Daniel ask for Jared and then Olivia on the other hand went with Roxy to see her room. I felt like I needed some fresh air to breath so I decided to step outside. So sat down the bench by the garden, I look at the night sky and just started humming .
I felt a presence walking towards me, I turned and looked. I see no one. I stood up and try to look around
and no luck there is nobody. I seriously felt someone. I whispered to myself.
Who? Baby, who did you saw? Jared said out from the corner.
NO ONE JARED! I jump from his sudden contact. Goddess you scared me, I didn't even notice you and I'm very good with that but with you I'm very vulnerable. I stutter still looking around the area.
I want you to be vulnerable around me. I want you to need me to protect you, I know you are strong and do not want anyone to think of you as weak. But I'm your mate let me do it for you. He said with stern but pleading eyes.
I thought, I felt a presence walking towards me earlier. So I tried to see if there is anyone. But there is nobody. But I swear iI felt it. I said trying to convince myself.
I believe you baby, why don't we just go in and enjoy the rest of the party. He said pulling me in my waist close to his.
Jared can we go home tonight? I know it's a bit late.. He then cut me off.
Baby, not tonight, we have to stay and I promise we drive early tomorrow is that ok? He said letting go of my waist.
Is there something you want to tell me? I said looking at Jared with concern in his eyes.
There is rogue sighting east of Crescents Moons Border. I feel like you're being followed, we try to eliminate them and leave one to be interrogated but the rogue ends up snapping his own neck. Jared said with frustrated voice.
I felt nervous, mad, sad. All the emotion of death. I can sense it, I don't like this feeling of being weak. I thought. My mind is swirling with emotions, Jared put his arms around me, bringing me to his chest.
Jared can I ask you for a favor, I know I ask you to tell me everything, but when it comes to rogues just tell me it's not something I want to know, or something like that without saying the word Rogue. I can't help but feel something when I hear the word or anything about them. I feel cold and dangerous. I don't like it at all. I said looking at him with all seriousness.
But I like this, I feel warm and fuzzy in your arms. I whispered in his ears.
