The Angel in my Darkness

Chapter 5

Alexis

“OK, so I just got off the phone with my friend and he says we can stay there for a while.”

Micah says putting his phone back into his pocket walking back into my room.

“Us? As in mom and dad too?” I asked hopefully they both looked at each other “No honey we cannot go. If the whole family left, they would know something is up and I still have my patients to see and your father still has his duties as one of the head warriors.”

“What ?! No you guys have to come with us! What if he finds out that I left and tries to hurt you !!”

“Sweetie, nothing is going to happen to us, if anyone asks you and Micah went to go visit family in another pack”

I guess that makes sense, Angel has been unusually quiet thru out this whole thing . “Angel, how are you feeling about all this?” “I’m not sure I feel something I’m not sure if its good or bad but something is going to happen”

“Well, that’s a comforting feeling” I say to her sarcastically.

“When do we leave?” asking nobody in particular,

“After dinner tonight, so make sure you are packed way before then, just in case we need to leave earlier” Micah said. Looking at the clock it reads 2:30am and everyone starts to file out of my room. My mom kisses my head and says

“Try and get some sleep we will see you in the morning we love you” before closing my door leaving me alone with my thoughts. How am I supposed to sleeping knowing I have to leave my home, my parents, and best friend tomorrow.

Looking at my phone it reads 5:30 am, Well, this is the best it is going to get, 3 hours of tossing and turning. Throwing on some sweats and one of Micah’s old shirts on I head to the kitchen to grab some coffee so I can keep my eyes open while I pack my clothes for this unwanted vacation. Tip toeing into the kitchen I try to be as quiet as I can, walking into the kitchen I am surprised that everyone is already up sitting at the table looking at me as soon as I round the corner. Being too sullen to talk to anybody I walk straight pass them and grab a cup and start pouring the wake-up juice into my cup. I really don’t like the looks they are giving me neither does Angel, but she is better at keeping it in check than I am

“Yeah cause it’s your face they see not mine” she says just as bitter as I am.

After I finished packing enough clothes to last me a month I laid on my bed to hopefully take a small nap before we have to start the 6 hour drive I have to endure later tonight, I know I am being a little dramatic since this is not only affecting my life but also my parents and brother, but I just can’t get over the fact that someone is trying to take away my goddess given mate before I have the chance to meet them.

“Ally wake up ..It’s time to go”. Opening my eyes I realize that I must have been sleeping for a while as it no longer looks like morning anymore.

“Micah, what time is it?”

“It’s about 4pm you have been sleeping for a while but it’s the perfect time to go. The Alpha is off pack lands at a neighboring pack right now so he will not be informed that we are gone until he gets back later on tonight”

Getting up I grab my bags and head to the living room to say goodbye to my parents before leaving. Seeing my parents waiting by the door waiting to say goodbye really hits me that I must leave even if it’s only for a small time it makes me sad as my eyes start to water walking up to them.

“Oh, honey it’s ok it will only be for a short period of time” she pulls me into a hug between her and my dad.

“Everything will be fine my girl. We will see you soon and you will always have Micah with you” my dad said while rubbing my back. I nodded into my mom’s shoulder.

“Ok it’s time to go” clearing his throat , Giving them both one last big hug I walk to the car with Micah behind me but before waking out the door I hear my dad talking to Micah,

“make sure you take care of her even though I know you will”

“Of course, I will”

Micah says with a nod and in a voice that’s sounds like a mix of his and max voice mixed. Once Micah gets into the car he says

“Are you ready?”

“I guess so”

“Look I am sorry this is happening to you, I know you didn’t want this trip, but why don’t we try and make the best of it.”

I look up from the window at Micah and finally notice how tired and stressed he looks and I realize that his life is being moved around for me but I have been just thinking about myself. Giving him a long hug

“I’m sorry for being so self-centered and making this all about me. I know you are moving your life around too! I love you” I say into his shoulder, He was a little taken aback by my sudden hug but hugged me back even tighter after I was finished talking.

“You know I would do anything for you right?” I nodded into his shoulder, after breaking apart Micah clearing his throat with what looked like glassy eyes.

“are we ready to go?” Feeling a tiny bit better about this trip I nodded, and we were off. Dad called ahead to the front gate warriors to know we were leaving the area.
