Lost and Alone, but Never Broken

Chapter 17 - I Want Tristen

Fiona

Looking at myself in the mirror was weird. I hardly recognised myself the first few times I caught my reflection to see a spitting image of my mother, but now I didn’t even know what to think. Rebecca stood behind me with the widest grin I had ever seen on someone’s face, that was also odd. Moving forwards toward the mirror, I reached out my hand to touch the flawless reflection staring back at me. “Okay, okay, okay lastly the dress,” her voice pitched high as she partially squealed running back out to the bedroom.

I didn’t like this, I didn’t like any of this. Walking back into the bathroom Bec didn’t seem to notice my dislike of our current situation. I was uncomfortable, jutting my hands out to grab her wrist I squeezed it as firmly as I was able, which apparently was not that hard as she barely noticed the contact. Making a noise that I myself didn’t quite understand, I was appeased that it reflected my irritation which made her turn to face me, “Tristen.. Want Tristen.”

A smile crossed her face, “yes, we can go to Tristen now, you just need to get dressed. The pack is waiting outside in the training area.” A feeling of warmth travelled my body as Bec pulled me towards the door, stopping at the bed she picked up a dress sliding it over my head with ease. Picking up a pair of shoes, I shook my head as I walked towards the door, wanting no more time to be wasted. My body was aching, raising my hand to my chest I rubbed the area hoping to dissipate the irregular feeling, painful feeling? I needed him, I needed his scent, I needed his touch, I needed him close.

“Wait!” Bec almost yelled as she ran before me bending down to slide the shoes on my feet as I continued to walk. I felt like my stamina was growing, my walking was improving. I still had a lot more to learn and physically a lot of training to do, but this human thing was getting easier. Plus I just couldn’t wait till tonight, Tristen said we could shift and go for a run. I could be back in the body I was used to, the body that currently held all of my will, power and confidence.

Gripping me by the forearm Bec assisted me down the stairs which took much longer then when Adam carried me, but at least I did it for the most part on my own. “Fee, before we get there… I need to speak to you about something important.” Bec continued to talk as we walked through the empty Pack House. “Erica is the wolf whom I heard found you earlier in Tristen’s room.” A growl escaped my lips as I started to listen carefully understanding this would actually be something important, unlike when she did my makeup say that was important. That was definitely not important.

“Erica may challenge you for your position in the Pack, I am assuming it won’t happen as Tristen would never allow it and would have a plan to stop her, but just in case I want you to be aware. If she challenges you, the naming ceremony can not go ahead, you must fight her one on one in human or wolf form. The thing is in wolf form…. People can die. However, you have no chance in your current state as a human to win, you have no muscle or combat skills and Erica.. I hear she is a formidable. I have also heard like her human form, her wolf is a warrior, but when we were in the woods you were… well you were amazing. If a challenge is accepted by the other party… so you, a fight must take place. Tristen can’t stop it.”

“Why are... you telling me this.” Bec stopped on the spot pulling me back to a halt.

“If Erica somehow manages to challenge you, Tristen will give up his position as alpha to protect you. Erica just wants to be Luna, to her… it doesn’t matter who she is mated to. And if Tristen steps down, it is likely he will be killed.” Bec’s eyes grew glassy as tears threatened to spill down her cheeks, reaching up she wiped her eyes quickly trying to compose her face disallowing her look of worry. “Do you understand Fee?”

Anger bubbled inside my chest, killed, Tristen could be killed if he stepped down. Why would he not just let me fight her, did he think I would lose the fight, did he not have faith in me. No matter the answer, it did not help my mood. I felt a darkness in my heart, Autumn snapped in my head snarling like a wild beast at the thought of Tristen dying. It would not happen, we would accept any challenge, destroy any wolf to keep him safe.
