Primal desire

Chapter 14

P.O.V. unknown

We failed to recapture the phoenix. Her abilities intrigued me. I met her once but she was out because of the wolfsbane she was injected with upon her arrival to Levi’s pack. We underestimated her and her wolf, she is stronger than a normal wolf. Which is why I want her all the more. I want to do the test that I was promised long ago. Levi was supposed to keep the phoenix on his lands and find a way to dispose of her sister but none of us expected her sister to end up being Levi's mate so he was unable to kill her like he was supposed to. Now we have to get her back before her mate marks her or we would be unable to kidnap her once again and keep her away from him once again. I think it is time that I come out of the shadows once again and also bring my little rogue friends that helped the first time but this time we will do things differently. They weren't supposed to kill the first phoenix but they did and so I had to wait 9 years for the little phoenix to shift to get my little phoenix.

P.O.V. ren

Over the past few weeks Jack and I became close even though I still didn't trust him at first until I started talking to other pack members and they confirmed what Jack had told me about jaden. So did his mother, I got really close to Jack's mom. Rose was the closest thing to a mother I had beside Beth but I loved having the thought of having a mom again. Right now we were in the basement grabbing boxes of stuff my parents had sent her weeks before the attack. A week after the encounter with Levi and Jaden I asked Rose to tell me about my parents after Beth told me that they came from the same pack a long time ago and were best friends.

“I have lots and lots to tell you about your parents and even embarrassing stuff too” she says with a giggle as we bring the last of the boxes out of the basement and into the kitchen where the rest of them were.

Sadly Beth was not here, she was out training with kevin, i learned that kevin’s mate was killed in a rogue attack 5 years ago, he was very sweet. I felt bad for him but at the same time i felt happy that they had each other after everything that they went through.

Rose starts pulling pictures out of a box. I look down and see a picture of my parents Beth and I but then I notice that Rose and Jeremy are standing next to my parents and are holding me baby. I look up at her in shock because in Jack's dad's arms is jack.

“Jack and I were around each other when we were little?”

“Oh yes you were for most of your life actually we could not separate the two of you and when we would the both of you would scream and cry…it was the cutest thing ever. And then the last time you guys saw each other…” she says handing me a photo of a little jack and i with jack on one knee with a home made flower ring in his hand.

“ He asked you to marry him with his little flower ring he made. If I remember correctly you guys were 5 or 6, maybe 7” she says with a smile.

“I wondered where that flower ring came from,” I say with a little laugh.

“Ill be right back” i say running for the stairs to grab my journal when i was little i remember beth putting the flower ring in tape so i could keep it forever. I grab it and run back down the keepsake flower ring in hand.

I hold it out to her and she smiles.

“I cant believe that you kept this after all this time” Jack says walking up behind me. I turn and smile at him.

“To be honest i couldn't remember where it came from but now seeing this picture (i hold up the photo) i remember it clearly” i smile looking at the photo in my hand.

“I'm not sure if i should feel hurt or not because you said yes when i proposed at age 6” he says putting his hand over his heart.

“Oh don't be dramatic son…she went through alot after that happened, feel blessed that she kept it after all this time '' Rose says with a laugh.

“Hey you can thank me for that, i'm the one that taped it up for her….she cried when i told her she couldn't keep it forever i said that the flower would die and lose its red color”

The flower is a little bright red lillie even as a child fires and red and orange were my favorite colors and lilies were my favorite flower and Jack knew it. I don't know if he remembered or not. But now knowing that we grew up together now his creepiness made sense to me…he knew me.

I laugh at Beth. “ I then proceeded to beg you to make it live forever so I could remember Jack as my future mate. '' I sigh, hating that I don't remember a lot of stuff from before my parents were killed. Jack looks at me with a smile.

“Really?” he says with a laugh I just nod my head and hand the photo back to rose.

“Yes I did…but sadly I don't remember much about my life before my parents died '' I say sitting down in one of the chairs. Jack bends down to me, cups my face in his hands.

“Don't worry we can make better ones my love…and we can take our time going through these boxes so don't stress about it we have all the time in the world” he says kissing me lightly. But phoenix wanted more so she pushed me a little bit. I start deepening the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him to me.

“HEY!!!I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS!” Beth screams covering her eyes and everyone bursts out laughing.

Jack pulls back from me looking at Beth and sticking out his tongue, everyone just starts laughing at the childish behavior. I stand and start to grab some of the smaller boxes and pictures that sat on the table next to the boxes. Rose looks at me with sadness in her eyes and starts to help me. It's like she knew I was having a hard time with my emotions. She grabs my hand and squeezes it. I give her a sad smile as I grab the first box and start to haul it up the stairs, every one files behind me with a box in hand and follows me. I know this is going to be hard going through my parents and my things.

I know that Jack was surprised that I still had the flower ring that he gave me when we were kids. It felt amazing finally being about to remember where the lillie came from and it warmed my heart.
