I woke up after an hour of sleep which i definitely needed after all the stuff that happened since last night.
I look at the phone,i have two missed calls from my uncle and a message from alex letting me know that he is back with the witch and he didn’t want to disturb my sleep so will met in living room when I’m awake.
I text him that i will be downstairs in 20 minutes. I grab a pair of black jeans,a t-shirt with black hearts on it and my lovely Puma sneakers,after i’m already dressed i pulled my hair in a ponytail and take a last look in the mirror .
Stepping on the stairwell i smelled fresh bacon and eggs , that’s definitely Alex cooking..i mean he eats bacon and enggs like all the time ..God boy he loves it .
-Hei guys , what’s up? Alex has his back on me and Ryan which seems to be concentrate on his phone
-Hey girl!! Alex said with his mouth full of bacon
-Hey Cali , how are you now ? can tou tell us now what happened last night? Carlos seems a little worried and he just get back from patrolling
-yeah , i will but first i need to talk with the witch ..where's she by the way ? not seeing her here make's me wonder what she does right now
-She had go to take a shower but she'l be here any minute by now. Alex said and the witch is already coming downstairs .
i turn around to face her ,as i open my mouth to speak with her a growl was out from Ryan's mouth.
What was that ? i ask him
-Sorry Alpha, but before you talk to Ellie , i wanted to tell you that she is my mate . he's face was now all red and if i'm not wrong , which i'n not i think that he already marke her .
-Oh , good to know ..i can see that you already marke her .I'm happy for you .i said to him as i turn my face to Ellie.
-So, Ellie it's you're name right ?
-Amm, yes Alpha .Elenor Silva more exactly .She bows her head making me laught .Now she was staring at me like i just have two heads
-Listen, you don't need to bow you're head , you are now the gamma femeale so we are about to become a family . I give her a slight smile and she seems more relaxed now .
So, Ellie my uncle told me to find you because you know what might happend around here . If you guys are done eating i would like to go in the coference room and have this conversation privetly .
after i told them about that demon and the fact that Alpha Dylan is a pain in the ass like his father , coming here using the mate bond with witches help, Ellie already had an ideea of what might be going on , Alex was piseed because he left me alone and he wasan't here to beat the crap of that alpha .
So guys , pull youreself togheter ..it happend already so no need to stres about that , we need to figure out how fix these problems ; i said looking at them and Ellie was just about to say something .
-From what i know from my covent is that the prophecy it's working her ways, i know it's about to happend soon so that's why the demons are on you're territory ..the bad part is that they will work with anybody who hate you just to take you down ..i know for certain that they want a war and blood bath , they will do everything to make that happend ..as about the witches playing with the mate bond ..eventually they will finde a way to make it work so you need to be carreful and don't let you're guard down ..and if you finde you're mate just trust the bond .. nothing can fake the mate bond ..not even witches can be so good . She said looking at me with a warm smile .
ok then .. so in which problem you can help is Ellie?
- i can help in both , but the problem with the mate bond will take longer because i don't know the witch who is doing all this things.
-Do you have any ideea how to finde her ? Ryan asked her ,looking at me .
-Well i think i can do a spell to locate her ..but for that i need something from the person who was spell..do you think that you might have something from him ?
- oh s**t , i don't think .. only the fact that he was sitting in the empty chair next to you ..think it's enought ?
- Well , i'm powerful enought so yea .. i can do it . she said smiling ,happy she could help .
-and what about the demons ? they will come back ..should we alerted the pack ? Alex said looking at Carlos who seems to be in his toughts .
-Yeah , but not until we have a plan, a good one .. Carlos what you have in mind ? ..Carlos ?!
-Sorry Alpha , but i was thinking how can we defend ourselfs from them if we can't see them ..you seem to be the only one who can see them .. .Well i didin't tought about that , that's a good question ..just thinking about it i feel shiver thro my spine ..like someone was near me , whatching me ..I snap out of it ,looking at the boys
-well we have half of the plans and for now will increase the patrolls , mandatory training twice a day , even the pups who are older than 6, we will prepear with medical supplies and hope that the demons come alone not with help .. at list in the next few weeks until we have more information and talk with my uncle ..and probably ask for help from the packs around us .. I was looking at the window now .. it was already night ..they need a break and Ellie defently a good sleep .
we are the biggest pack on the continent ..but not everyone know how to defend or fight ..i had never thought that something like that will come up on us .
-Listen guys , you should take a break ..it's already night and half of the problem for know it's solved , i'm going to call my uncle later and update him .. Ellie what can you tell me about you're kind ?
-We are the good ones , we know from a long time that you are the wolf from the prophecy and oure job is to protect you and you're pack .
My mom always told me that you will have a bright future and evetually you will find happines ! as she said that i could feel like si was a little upset ..maybe ? ..i don't know but she know more that she said ..but this is for another day ..
-Oh , it's good to know Ellie . I smile to her and turn my head back to the window ..oh and
-Guys .. see you tomorrow , have good night ..and Ellie , Ryan congrats again ! i give them a hug and headed to my office .
i was sitting in my office when Alex came in..i already know that he is about to lecture my about what happened with the demon and that wannabe alpha.
-Soo gurrl, why didin't you call me after you ..you know ...He was trying not to push my buttons
He was standig know on the couch scratching his back looking at me with his puppy eyes
-i told you i can handle without you .. it's not like i need a babysitter all the time . I said looking at him while we both started laughin
I missed you , i'm glad that you are back and safe . he was now in socked,we usually don't say to each other things like "deep feelings" but i needed him to know that is a big part o my life .
-Wow , that's something new even for you Cali .. but yeah i missed you to . Now i was sitting in his lap on the couch ,he was playing with my hair like my dad used to do ..i missed them so much
I don't know about my feelings for Alex .. it's like a brother to me but sometimes even more .. he knows me so well but i bearly know only half of him .
sometime i had wished him to be my mate but ..the Moon Goddess always have other plans ,i'm not sure if i will find my mate mostly because i don't leave the pack territory ..but giving the circumstances i don't want to meet him , haveing to deal with the bond and saving my peopels lifes from this stupid prophecy and all the enemies who want power and war it's going be hard enought.
-Penny for you're thoughts ? alex said as he looked at me in a lovely way
-No , il pass ..i let out a sigh when i pulled my head away from his lap
-If you need anything ..i mean like even ..you know .a warm body next to you i'm happy to help
while he said this he was giving me a smirk and his eyes were sparkling
-You know ..it's not that right now i couldn't use a distraction but isn't healty for us to keep doing this .. i mean we both have mates somewhere and i know the mate bond it's stronger than what we feeling now for each other but still .. it will be weird
Also you know that i love beeing with you and the fact that we help each other during the storms ..but in the future someone else will do that for both of us ! i was starting to look at him with so much love ..like beyond brother love , it was not right
-Yeah , i know Cali ..but still we might have to wait a lot and i know you don't have s*x with other mens than me ..and you're future mate and you clearly use a distraction ..
He was kissing my forthead and playing with my hair ..he was so gentel and loving person ..but this , whatever we have right now it needed to stop .
- I'm going back to bed .. i said that i will call my uncle but now it's kinda late ..i lost track of time .
-Yeah , good night Cali see you at the training fields in the morning .
-Sure , night Alex ! i hug him and leaving the office going straight to my bedroom but he was right i indeed i need a distraction but i won't have s*x with him anymore .. it's not right for both of us .
i was sitting in bed , after seems like hours i couldn't sleep so now i'm headed to kitchen , i need a snack ..or a juice maybe a glass of milk ..heck i don't know what i want.
Now i'm eating a yogurt with strowberry flavour and cheking the tv programs but i don't find anything intersting , i'm about to turn it off when i feel a breez around me , i think my mind it's playing tricks on me again it's the same feeling like i had during the meeting ,someone or something suerly watched me .
I throw the rest of the yogurt in trash can and heading back to my room when accidentaly i run into Ellie .
-Oh , sorry Ellie i didin't see you , you can't sleep ? i ask her suprised that she is still awake
-Yeah , something is weird ..i mean even since the meeting i felt a breeze around me and odd
Now i was staring at her with wide eyes
-Hei , you're ok .. why are you looking like that ? i can feel in her tone that se is a bit scared
-Oh .. it's just that i have the same feeling since the meeting ..i swear that someone or something is around me , i just ..i don't know maybe because winter is around the corner or who knows but it's weird that you also feel the same
She was looking at me now , staring ..like she just figure it out right know
- Amm , Cali ..you don't minde if i call you Cali , right ?
-oh , god , of course not
-listen , i might figure it something out but i'm not sure .. you know all abou the prophecy or you're ancestors ?
-Ahmm, not quite ..why ? i mean it's again about this ?
-Yeah .. i think it's from you're ancestors more than this .. i know from my mother the fact that you had a grandmother which she also had the power of the shifter , like you with you're wolf but she had also the power of the elements , like you know , water , fire , earth , wind , ice and stuff like this .. it is any chances that you might have some extra powers frome her side ?
- Pff i don’t know .. i mean i have to ask my uncle ..he will knou about something like this .. but i’m more tempted to think that it’s about demons here ..
- yeah .. i was just guessing ..talk with you’re uncle and tell my if he finds this story familiar and sorry if i’ve scared you when we had bump into each other . She was laughed on the hall way while she was heading to Ryan’s bedroom .
-No problem , good night .. and Ellie ..thank’s ! I give her a smile and i go back in my bed .
i was sitting on the edge of the bed and Alex came in my thoughts..i need him ,his touch ,his love .
In a flash i was at his door ,knocking softly a few times..he surely is tired but i don't care i want him now !
- i'm coming ! his voice was sounding in my head like a melody
-Hey , Cali it's something wrong ? he was looking at me with wide eyes ,studying me from up and down after which he smiled .
-I want you now love ! and when the words left my mouth i was already pinning him on the wall ,kissing him hard , while he was now with his hands on my hips .
he's hot breath on my neck , where my future mark will be from my mate its been giving me chills to my spine,i felt the sparks when we kissed ,the way he touches me it's like i'm in heaven .
This boy will be the death to me .As we reached a level of heat i felt his d**k growing hard , he is searching a way to enter in me which it makes me gasp, i want him with all he has ; he was now in bed on top of me ,i like him when he controls every move in bed ,his eyes glowing by every kiss that landed on his wet skin .
we've been doing this a few times until we had take a pause to catch our breath .
He was playing with my hair and my head was lying on his chest .
- Did you feel the sparks? he's asking me while his eyes are all over my naked body
-Yeah , i felt them .. listen i think we should talk ..my face was now close to his lips , i've felt a urge to kiss them and making him mine but i snap out of it
-You know what , we talk tomorrow ..we both need rest now ..and thanks for this ..
-You sure ? seems that is important ..what's all about ? And why you're so pale ? he was pushing my buttons and i snap , my mouth is saying things that should remain a secret
-I wanted to mark you right know , i know i violated our promise but i have a lot of feelings for you , mixed anyway ..i don't know why i felt this way but we should stop doing this ..i'm sorry for wanting you so badly but i will not do that again .
I felt my words beeing a pain for him , even i am hurt right know because i realized that i love him and even when he watches me leave i felt my skin burn under his eyes , this feels like mate bond but i already know that for us is not the case .
I’m back in my bedroom already crying ..why i'm acting like this ? What is wrong with me ?
I prepared my tub with hot water and some bubble bath will help me relax ..i hope .
I was leanning in the hot water , thinking back at the way i feel about him , i can't get him out of my head ;Kira was happy now , she even wishpered that he should mark her , she probably is getting confused because she always told me that is wrong to have s*x with someone else if it isn't our mate . I get out of the tub and getting my pajamas and throwing myself in bed ..i need a good sleep ..like 24 hours will be enough..well not in this life anyway .
I had a good sleep eventually last night , now it was 5 a.m and i should be on the training field with the rest of the pack, but i didn't wanted to go because i know that Alex will be there which it will make me feel sorry about my reaction from last night especially i didn't let him to answer me back.
Now I look in the closet for a bustier and a pair of sports pants, I find a red bustier from Nike and a pair of black pants with white lines and of course another pair of colorful sneakers, before I change, I take a short shower, catch my hair in a bun and get dressed to leave the room.
When I get to the living room I see Ellie sitting at the table staring blankly, I look at my watch and I see that I still have 20 minutes until I have to start training.
I stop next to her after I get a bottle of water
-Hey Ellie, how are you? Did you get along well here?
-Oh, hello Cali! Yes, I feel great and Ryan helped me a lot by telling me about the history of the pack.
I feel my phone vibrating and a message appears on the screen "Cali, we need to talk, call me as soon as possible", the message is from my uncle .. oh damn I forgot to call him! I just slapped myself mentally because I'm so forgetful.
I wonder if I could talk to Ellie about what happened between me and Alex, it's probably not my brightest idea but I'll try anyway because I'm left with no choice as to what I could do in this situation.
So, Ellie I was wondering if you have some time to talk about a personal matter ...? I ask her hoping she will be available to listen to me and maybe she even has a solution.
- Sure, how can I help you?
After explaining Alex's situation last night to him and the fact that sparks appeared every time we touched, I felt a little ashamed but fortunately she is not the kind of person to judge.
- I have an idea about what it might be but I will research better until I give you an answer, is that okay?
-Yes, thank you for listening to me for the help offered ..now I have to go to training.
Ellie, please keep this discussion between us and thank you once again for everything! I answered and then I went to the training ground.
After two hours of training with Ryan this time, as I do my best to avoid Alex until I realize what's happening to me, I head to the bedroom to take a shower and change my clothes and then i prepare to call my uncle .
I need peace for the next discussion so I will head to the waterfall at the foot of the mountain, I get there quickly because running in the shape of a wolf it is much easier for me to overcome all the obstacles of nature.As I prepare to leave, I let Ryan know that for the next four hours at most I will be unavailable and if Alex asks about me to tell him that I am trying to solve a problem that distances us .. he will realize about what I'm talking about and where to find me, although I hope it will give me a little space until the situation between us is resolved or at least I have an idea of what is happening.After almost fifteen minutes of running I arrived near the waterfall which is huge surrounded by lots of vegetation and birds chirping composing a song that creates a state of absolute peace. I change back into human form and then I put on the clothes I brought. in the mouth .. rather Kira brought them, after I got dressed and I catch my hair in a bun I go to the pontoon near the mini lake that has formed down the waterfall over time. Here is my special place , I used to come with my mother when I felt I needed peace and after a while it became a special place for Alex.
In the meantime, I arranged on the right space near the lake, building a turret with a swing and a small house in case Alex and I wanted to stay overnight .. something that hasn't happened in the last two years.
I place a blanket taken from the small house on the pontoon and lie down in the sun, take a deep breath and then call my uncle.
-Hey uncle, how are you ?
-I'm pretty good ,listen we need to tell you something and it's important so i hope you have a few moments ..i catch a sound of worried in his voice .
-I took a few hours of because i have a lot to tell you ..but you start first .
-Sure , i have a few question first ..but be onest when you answear please honey
-Sure , go ahead ..now i don't feel so chill about this conversation
Have you been feeling weird lately ...? I mean if you felt someone near you or cold air breezes ..or sometimes sparks?
Now his question makes me feel weird .. I mean normally I felt all this, at least in the last few days I feel totally different person ..
-Yes ..I feel like this for a few days ..but I thought I was probably going crazy.However, what is this about?
-And your aunt has been feeling this way lately and I have the impression that it is related to the fact that her abilities to control the elements are transferred to you ..as automatically as they would come.
Wow, well, I didn't expect that answer
-Does my aunt have powers? How? From what I remember, my mother didn't have them.
-Your mother didn't have them just your aunt ... we still don't know how this happened because the powers had to go to your mother because she was older.
I remember now from my conversation with Ellie that she mentioned that my ancestors had the ability to control the elements.
-Hey uncle .. I had a discussion with Ellie, the witch you sent me to ..and she told me something similar but I didn't know what to answer her ..that is, she only mentioned my grandmother ..oh wait, how come no one knows that my aunt has special powers?
Now I didn't know what to believe, everything is a mess in my head and now it's time to clarify everything.
-She didn't use them, she didn't need them and the fact that her powers are turning towards you is due to the fact that we don't have children in our blood so you stay last in the line of white wolves. I hear him sigh and then continue he explains
-Being the last of our nation, Jas's powers are yours, not Marco's.
Marco is their adopted child, Aunt Jas could not have children so they decided to adopt a boy so that in time he would take over the position of Alpha after my uncle retired.
-Does Marco know about this? I mean, I know we don't get along, but I don't want to interfere in your family!
Marco and I didn't talk to each other ..although I always felt attracted to him ..for the first time I turned into a wolf in front of the pack. After several attempts to get closer to him I left him alone because I had no chance .. I felt so devastated but after I befriended with Alex I forgot about him.
- Marco knows so it's not a problem .. listen to me I have to tell you something about who Marco is .. normally I would have liked to talk face to face but considering that you metioniz that you feel sparks and if not I'm wrong they appear when you have contact with Alex ..no?
what the hell ? how can he know that? I'm more than sure I won't like what I hear.
-How did you know? I asked him quickly now, being extremely curious how he knew this.
-Listen to me, what I'm telling you now, in no case can you tell Alex ..at least not now! Marco is Alex's twin brother! he spoke so fast and once his words came out of my mouth and made contact with my hearing I was shocked, how the hell I didn't know anything about it! I waited a few moments until I could say something but it was too late, Alex was already behind me and from his eyes I realize that he also heard this statement.
-I'm afraid it's too late, I don't understand how I didn't know about this but Alex was behind me when you said that ..so now you'd better elaborate.
-Oh, God, what did I do? my uncle had started crying on the phone but I couldn't wait for the answer and Alex was now next to me stroking my hand. Sparks is all I felt, I want him again every second but the first time I need an answer from my uncle!
-When his mother gave birth they didn't know she had twins and when your grandfather was Alpha you were only allowed one child. They didn't know what to do and your parents came up with the idea that we could adopt him. and in a way he will remain in the family and with Alex's parents.
Well ..at the time my grandfather was leading the pack it was an enormous strictness ..
-How do you know about Alex? You know .. related to sparks .; Alex looks at me and waiting for an answer that he also wants to know .. does not seem extremely affected by the news that he has a brother, he is much more curious about the sparks we feel when we touch
-When we first read the prophecy more carefully, we realized that your mate will be someone who is by your side all the time, in trying to figure out who it is we did not see that Alex was always with you .. that being when you were little ..you don't think about mates then.
Your parents realized with the help of a witch who sees the future that you and Alex will be mates in the future and to keep you safe he used a witch to put the connection between you to sleep until you are able to have feelings for each other without mate bond intervening.
So this conversation is not at all what I expected, that is, how could our parents do such a thing ... if we never had feelings for each other what the hell is going on?
Alex's eyes start to widen when he hears this statement from my uncle .. his face is frowning and I can realize that he is going to destroy something. Catching Alex eyes I forgot that I am still in the phone conversation and now I want everything to be fixed ..which means I will have to find someone else for the Beta position, considering that Alex is my mate he will take over the Alpha position from me and I will be Luna.
How will we redo the bond mate?
Can Ellie help us?
-My dear niece, i need to go ,but talk with Ellie she wil know what to do.
