The Alpha's Broken Heart

What now? ~Nate~Earth.

Dirty rugs...

Why are they here, now?! Did the council send them? I'm getting sick and tired with all these threats to my princess. I turn and Xavier raises his thumbs, I guess Nefeli and Amara are hidden.' Hope they find the room, those thugs can hear pack mind-links so I had to tell them the wrong thing... I walk to the door and open it.

"Hello, how may I help you?" I say monotony, as if I can't see through their cheap disguises. One walks forward and smiles at me, trying to seem friendly.

"Oh just looking for my cousin, Have you seen a red haired, blue eyed girl?" he asks peeping into my house. I control the instinct to punch his scaly face. I turn to Xavier and he shakes his head, code for there's only two of them around the house.' Thank goodness for his sharp nose! '. I mentally pat him on the back.

" No, but if she is truly related to you why isn't she a lizard-being too?" I ask smiling as well.

He springs at me and I claw at his face, digging my claws into his cheek and using his momentum to throw him else where. Xavier pounces tackling the other one successful. The lizard I got jumps up and heads for me. I hit his face and he send scratches towards my face, narrowly missing. I see the one that Xavier is choking is throwing what looks like a bomb... Bomb?! Oh hell NO.

I move with the motive to grab it and push it down this other lizards throat. It releases a gas and the other lizard grabs my neck throwing me to the floor. Xavier has choked out the other lizard and then falls to the floor. I get confused before I realized what's in the gas bomb.

Wolfsbane.

I feel my head get heavy and the lizard ties my hands. I hit his package and he falls over. He removes a silver knife and stabs my stomach, making me grunt out. He tries to twist it but Xavier has kicked the other guy on top of him. They both get up and are about to attack us, but a loud thud is heard from somewhere else in the house. I look to them, hoping they didn't hear it, but I'm disheartened when they smirk slyly.

"Let's see if the others have found our shipment." he says snarling at us.' Their more of them? ' I look to Xavier and he is also shocked out of his mind.'Way to underestimate their disguise, jackass. ' Jake snarls weakly. It's extremely difficult to get rid of an Alpha's wolf. Heck, even Xavier still has his wolf.

"Well, hope you find the air you so desperately needed to steal from my house." I say glaring.

" Oh really? Sorry" He walks to Xavier and grabs his limp arms, and he breaks them. Xavier looks to him and smirks, not feeling the pain, but then a blood curling scream is heard from up the stairs. Wait, they are human and pregnant... Oh s**t on me! This has to be the worst. What if they found them already? I hear glass shatter and I feel my wolf get angry at my 'plan'.

Xavier freezes before his hazel eyes turn Auburn brown. That's not good... Xavier has anger issues, worse than me but then again I'm not a angry person, I'm just stoic to every person, goofy to my friends and loving to only Nefeli. Xavier smiles at them and looks to them innocently.

I visibly shift away from Xavier.' I don't need more scars from this boy'. I thought bitterly remembering how many times he has scarred me when he got slightly upset. He is fuming now, don't want to know what he will do.

He stands up and his muscles bulge bigger. I stand to but offer no show, sorry folks. His smile, which looks more like a creepy grin, doesn't reach his eyes, but his eyes gleam in sheer joy.

"What the heck, Taylor?" The one I fought asks the other. The other shrugs and steps away from him. Xavier then pounces, his copper colored wolf ripping their shocked bodies to shreds.

I jump up, into my wolf form and run up the stairs, heading to the bathroom. I see the glass shattered into the room. I jump into the hole swiftly and rip one head off it's neck. The other screams in shock and I charge at it clawing it's body till it's just meat and bones.

I see Nefeli slouching against the wall, one hand holding her tummy and the other holding my pocket knife. Sneaky little mate. I move to her side when I notice her breathing is labored

I whine at her and she looks at me, she rushes to hug me and reaches her hands in a grab motion for Amara. Just then Xavier jumps through the hole and shifts hugging Amara to himself. I growl at Nefeli when I realised she is looking in their direction and Xavier is butt cheek naked. Nefeli scoffs at me.

"Only you Nate, only you..." she says grabbing my head and resting our foreheads together. I shift back and hug her to me. She hugs me back and heads towards the window, shakily and I help her climb. She throws Xavier and I towels, glaring at me playfully.

"Thank you Luna." Xavier says throwing her a kiss she laughs before she coughs hard. I grab her hand and her eyes light blue eyes look pale, her skin almost glass like. I carry her to the bedroom, Amara and Xavier hot on our heels. I place her in the bed and she places a hand on her stomach, wincing shortly after. I remove her onesie and see blood, alot of blood around her stomach. Amara pushes past me and grabs her hand. She looks panicked and then Nefeli tries to push her away.

"You can't, it's not safe. Plus your pregnant. It will strain you." Nefeli says with tears in her eyes.

" No it won't." she says. Nefeli shakes her head harder.

" I'm a high priestess before I am a daughter of love. I am still capable of helping you." she says to her Nefeli who still looks like she is in doubt. Amara closes her eyes, placing her broken hands on Nefeli's belly. Xavier holds her belly to keep her steady and maybe pull her away if something goes wrong. She mumbles some incoherent words, that sounded like a song. She squeezes her eyes shut, her voice sounds different and projects with power. Her hands glowing lightly.

" Aphrodite, fairest of Olympo's jewels, flawless in form, unsurpassed in grace and beauty.

Shining Aphrodite, constant your presence, subtle your schemes, overwhelming your power, irresistable your treasures. Kind-hearted one, mistress of feeling, I praise and honor you-"

The room in filled with a sweet and desirable scent, light and delicatable. I see Amara's hands glow and Nefeli's wound begin to close.

"- O, Aphrodite, who strips away self-control, who leaves sweet desire in it's place, I pray to you. Glorious goddess, source of passion, I thank you for precious moments of instinct, for fire and fury, for the depth of pleasure, for the essence of need-"

I see the blood dissolve into her skin and her color take a pink tint, as if she is blushing.

" Aphrodite, dearest goddess, grant me your gifts, bring to present this beautiful desire."

She finished and Nefeli is sleeping lightly and her stomach is intact, not even a scratch. Amara smiles and hugs Xavier who is gripping her like she would fly away.

" Nate?" Nefeli says tiredly whilst sitting up. I move to stop her but she grabs me, hugging me. I reach to hold her and she climbs on me. I chuckle and hug her back.

"It worked!" Amara shouts hugging Xavier's neck tightly. He winces but doesn't protest in the slightest. Whipped!

"So everytime Nefeli gets hurt you can just say words and she'll be okay." Xavier says lightly. It seems he has finally calmed down, he was being too quiet for my liking, but don't tell him I said that...

"Well only some wounds, like babies and scratches, they require small amounts of energy and the goddess can return those, cause it's her character. Beauty, no scars and fair, Desire, babies, family and love. Plus if it's a head shot or a dead person, I can't help. Making deals with other gods can be risky." Amara says making my drop a bit.

" Well let's just keep me from dying then!" Nefeli says clapping her hands. I laugh at her goofy smile. I turn to look at the now disorganised room, the window open and the wind blowing into the room. I smell the now scentless air.

'Why can't it stay like this?' I ask myself but I know it can never stay like this, life's a B-word. I smell the air again and listen to the birds and animals, the sky slightly cloudy with dark gloomy clouds. It mirrors me precisely, and it is bring us yet another storm.

'Something is going to happen, soon... And I'm not going to like it, at all...'
