Alpha's Rebirth Twisted Mate

03

“There you are, I have been looking for you for hours” I turn and find a frustrated and angry Casey standing with her hand on her hips.

“Do you know how freaking worried I was about you, you just ran off as if the freaking hellhounds of hades were after you” her nostrils were flared and her breaths were fast. If it wasn’t for the fact that I could see how scared and worried she was I would have actually laughed at her cursing.

Casey, just like mum hated cursing so given that she just cursed twice meant she was angry and frustrated. I don’t think she even realized that she was cursing in the first place which made it all the more funny.

The land we were in was a bit unfamiliar to me and so were the scents around so after my visit from Selene, I decided to just wait till someone found me instead of risking it and ending up even more lost or worse, another pack's territory.

So I just sat and waited patiently thinking of what I was going to do next and also coming up with a plan. I knew the basics, first the royal family except the Alpha asshole king would be murdered. If it was as before it would happen during the royal ball and they would first be poisoned through food then daggered at night while they were weak and asleep.

Second I knew that we would be betrayed and that means that every single person who was present during our trial from our pack was an enemy. For some reason I knew that somehow Becca was connected.The way she smiled right before I was killed was purely sinister, it was kind of a victory smile, not the victory of finally getting my boyfriend, it was something else entirely. There was no remorse in her eyes, no guilt, just pure elation.

“Vanya? Are you even listening?” I come out of my thoughts when Casey calls me and gently shakes me.

“Sorry, what were you saying?” I ask her and she just looks at me puzzled and I totally get her, I haven’t been myself since I woke up and she found me.

“I asked why you ran out like that and what in the world you are doing here, just seated there instead of coming home when you know very well I would have been worried”

“I’m sorry, I just needed to clear my head, things were a bit out of control back there and as for what I am doing here, I got lost and instead of risking getting even more lost, I decided to just sit and wait for someone to find me.” Casey just looks at me confused and shocked, her eyes and expression clearly communicating that she has no idea what has gotten into me.

“What the hell are you talking about? We were raised in this pack so how the fudge would you get lost? If anyone knows these lands better than the back of their hands it’s you” she says releasing a frustrated breath.

I honestly couldn’t help it, I tried to hold it in but I couldn’t and I just burst out laughing at her attempt to use fudge instead of f**k and once I started laughing I couldn’t stop. At the back of my mind I knew that this was the comic relief I needed after such stressful weeks.

“Are you done?” she asks, hands folded across her chest. I just nod still hiccupping from the last bout of laughter. You see, we sometimes don’t need words to express ourselves. Our bond just allows us to get each other in ways other people can’t and so she already knew I was laughing at her attempt to curse.

“Honestly Vanya, I am worried about you. You haven’t been making much sense since you woke up. You're not yourself, it’s like you are a totally different person. First the death of our parents and supposedly ours and now this?” I know she was worried but there was nothing I could do about that because I was technically a different person. We did all die but I couldn’t tell her all that because she would just think that I had lost my mind.

“I know Cas, I just woke up from a nightmare where all of us had died and somehow my mind is having a hard time catching up to reality” I tell her getting all serious and drawing her to me for a hug. It wasn’t the truth per se but it wasn’t a lie. It was kind of like a bad nightmare watching your entire family getting killed and I was truly having a hard time catching up with this new life.

“I am sorry, I can’t imagine such a nightmare, but it was exactly that…a nightmare so don’t dwell on it too much” I wish it was just a simple nightmare that I could ignore but it wasn’t thus making it hard not to dwell on it. She then takes my hand and begins to lead me to what I am assuming to be home.

Typical of Casey, she takes about anything and everything under the moon. You would think she is talkative and outgoing but she is not. She is only like that when she is around people she is truly comfortable with, otherwise she is shy and timid but I guess that comes with being an omega.

I zone out of what she is saying, I am not being rude but I do have a lot to think about and to plan. Like the moon goddess said, one wrong move and millions of people would die and I simply can’t have that on my conscience. The only people I am interested in seeing dead are my enemies.

“The first thing we need to do is find out what day it is” I hear Eclipse say to me in a lazy sort of voice.

“Shouldn’t you already know that? Given that you are more updated on what’s happening more than I am”

“I do know a few things but that doesn’t mean I know everything, after all I am just a wolf spirit not a f*****g goddess or one of the fates” with that she withdraws to the back of my mind and proceeds to sleep and ignore me.

I honestly don’t know why the hell the moon goddess thought Eclipse would be a perfect match for me. We were just too much alike and with having the same attitude I knew it would take us a while to find a way to work together without pissing each other off.

But she was right, I needed to know what day it is just so I can know how much time we had before the biggest disaster in the history of wolves happens and Casey and I are falsely accused. There were challenges I could foresee along the way, but I knew that with time I could work them out.

The other thing I needed to figure out was who would be involved in poisoning and killing the royal family and stop them before they succeeded and also what were their motives. I knew even if the Omegas were involved somehow or any other werewolf for that matter, they would need a strong backing to even risk their lives to go against the whole werewolf community just to kill the royal family.

Whatever this was, it was more than just simply getting rid of the ruling family, the way I saw it, it was either revenge, or an uprising since we had had frequent attacks from rogues which had increased in the recent months before our death, or both.

The way it was planned was strategic and perfect. If it wasn’t for the fact that it led to our deaths, I would have appreciated how tactical the person behind the plot was. They made sure not to be caught and they made sure that the unlucky people who took the fall A.K.A us, wouldn’t be able to divert the attention to the real culprits because everything pointed to us, and that’s where our scents came in. So looking at it from that point of view I recognize how incriminating everything was.

To a point I do understand Alpha Axel that is if I didn't hate him. I would have done the same thing if I were in his shoes. f**k it all to hell, I am actually planning on doing the same thing and that is taking revenge on those that hurt my family but that doesn’t mean I’ll spare him. I am just doing what he would do, what he did.

What I don’t understand is how he wasn’t as consumed by the poison like the rest of his family. If I am not mistaken then, the culprits used silver because that was the only thing that could weaken a werewolf. So how is it that the poison didn’t affect him as much as it did the others?

“That’s because his wolf is a beast, like literary a beast and there is also the fact that he is a lycan, the strongest, badest, meanest SOB you will ever meet, so it doesn’t really take a genius to figure out why he wasn’t overwhelmed like the rest of his family” didn’t I tell you Eclipse has an attitude with capital A.

I don’t reply because what’s there to say apart from the fact that I have just been burned by a wolf spirit that lives inside me and has more attitude than I could have ever imagined my wolf having. I just heave a sigh knowing that our lives together will be a long ass ride. The only thing I was happy about was that at least I would have someone who knew and understood what had happened and what was happening.

Seeing that I am not planning on replying to her she retreats to the back of mind where she then curls up and goes to sleep. It was honestly weird having another entity sharing your body and mind after two decades and a half of being alone.

“Finally, gosh, I was worried sick about you when Casey called asking if I had seen you” I am startled out of my thoughts by a voice I hoped to never hear again as long as I lived. I stood there frozen while Becca hugged me and I looked at the man standing beside her, Jason.

The anger and hatred that I feel for these two clouds my mind, choking me, making me see nothing but red. I was past the hurt I felt when I saw them at the trial and realizing they had betrayed me in more ways than one. All I felt now was rage.

I could hear Eclipse voice trying to calm me down, her soothing voice bringing me back from the edge of blind rage. Telling me that everything is going to be fine and that we would get our revenge soon but we couldn’t let them know that we were unto them so soon. So I took in a breath and forced myself to calm down.

Seeing that I am not hugging her back, she lets go of me and I am thankful for that.

“Love, are you okay?” Jason asks when I just continue to stand there not saying a word. His voice grates on nerves like nails on walls and I hated it. I wanted him to stop talking and looking at me as if I am the most important person in the world because I knew that was pure bullshit. Listening to Eclipse I plaster a fake smile,

“Yes, I am just tired and I want to rest” I tell him. I notice how quiet Casey is but choose not to comment on it. Becca just continues looking at me, studying me as if she is trying to figure something out so I shut my emotions down not giving her a glimpse of anything I feel.

“I’ll just take her home, you guys can go back to the pack house and thanks for everything” Casey comes to the rescue and I am so grateful to her for getting rid of them. Jason looks like he wants to argue but Becca agrees, gives us hugs and makes me promise to call if anything comes up and I need to talk.

Jason finally agrees and leaves after giving me a kiss on the lips which I immediately wipe off once his back is turned. It honestly disgusted me now but I was grateful that they had left. After they leave, Casey guides me and we continue walking. My emotions are still raw and the last thing I needed was losing my cool and making a mistake I couldn’t take back, but seeing them made me want to rip their f*****g throats.

"Can you tell me what that was back there" her voice brings me back to the present, I knew that she was not only just silent but observing what was happening between the three of us.

"That's a story for another day, I don't have the energy to tell you now" which was true. I honestly felt drained and tired not just physically but emotionally and I could actually feel a headache creeping in. We walk for a while before Casey suddenly stops.

“Home sweet home” I look up when I hear Casey’s voice and I am completely stunned because standing before us is a huge ass modern house that could possibly not be ours but apparently was.

“Damn Casey, since when did the red moon pack afford to build such houses?”

“Red moon pack? This isn’t the Red moon pack Vanya. We were absorbed years ago since our pack was too small and insignificant, remember? This is the Royal pack.” Casey tells me, looking at me as if I should already know this and I probably should but the only thing that is running through my mind is how screwed I am.

“f*****g s**t!” is the last thing that comes out of my mouth right before everything goes black.
