The Demigoddess and Her Alpha

Chapter Five: Stupid Love

(© All Rights Reserved 2020)

Alpha Lachlan Gideon

Jaxs and Oliver were waiting with 100 warriors. I was last to arrive, which is poor form for an Alpha. The reason I’m late is that the bunnies packed too much. They all had several suitcases each. Sometimes I can’t handle how stupid the bunnies are. I know I didn’t pick them for their brains, but seriously? We were going to be traveling for 15 hours in wolf form. I’ve spoiled them too much because they truly believed I was going to fly them down while the rest of us ran. All of us had special backpacks to carry clothing and other essentials. 

 Inviting the bunnies to join was the stupidest idea I’ve ever had. I blame that wretched, beautiful woman. It’s her fault I can’t leave the bunnies. Can’t be too sure who will attack first.  I have blue balls to high hell, and she is definitely to blame. I tried again to sleep with the bunnies last night. I wanted to blame them and say they were just getting sloppy with their blow jobs or that they were too loose to enjoy. I knew why and so did they, but they didn’t dare speak it. I had a raging b***r when I had the little Demigoddess up against the car. What a minx! I loved her genuine reaction to me instead of overacting like I’m making a porno. I was getting hard again just thinking about it. Severus kept teasing me, saying If I had brought Rowena, she would have been able to portal us all, and I could actually get laid.

I shook my head and focused on the task ahead. I was leading my warriors into a dangerous situation. Both packs had no idea what they were dealing with.  At first, they thought it was Rouge attacks, but they suspect it’s much worse. The massacres they described seemed horrible. The Dream Amethyst and The Bloodstone packs are not used to fighting. They’re both small packs with less than 300 wolves between the both of them. Their Alphas are sort of like hippies, and they don’t believe in violence. I stood in front of my warriors and gave them the same speech I always do. Fight hard and never give up. We try to pick wolves without mates so that a fight won’t split them up. I’m also not like other Alphas because I train my she-wolves too. We are supernatural creatures. It is really archaic and sexist that we think the she-wolves would be weaker. Having Skye as my twin has definitely taught me a lot. She is the toughest person I know. It’s why we usually win when we fight. Everyone always underestimates our she-warriors.  Skye, Mae, Paisley, Evie, and Logan showed up to wish us good luck and say goodbye. Severus was whimpering in my head,

‘Mates not here’ I looked around.

Rowena wasn’t here to say goodbye. Why would she? No one here is significant to her besides... ME! Wasn’t she all excited to meet me 24 hours ago? Now she’s not even here to see me off? What a little b***h! I can’t believe it,

‘It’s your fault, Mr. I don’t want a mate! You’re the little b***h! Call our mate that again and see how fast you won’t have a wolf anymore!’  Severus snarled,

‘Are you serious? Are you going to defend someone you’ve known for a day over me? I questioned,

‘If it wouldn’t kill me and separate me from her, Id sacrifice you to save her.’ He snapped.

Severus cut me off. I rolled my eyes. Although they gave me hugs, I could sense the coldness coming off my siblings. Wow, everyone’s a traitor. First, my wolf, now my own siblings are treating me differently because of her. What the hell? Movement in the packhouse window distracted me as I looked up, the blinds shut immediately and all I caught was purple locks. I smiled to myself. I really did love alternative women. Of course, my mate would be one. I shake my head and try to shift. I notice Severus wasn’t letting me,

'I know we're not on the same page right now but this is a part of our duties as Alpha. We can’t let our warriors or the other packs down because of it.’ I tried to reason,

‘I’m not the one neglecting my duty to my Luna. I know what my duties are. I’m doing this for our allies, not you.’ He shifted forcefully.

Severus

I shifted first, followed by Ace(Jaxs) and Hendrix(Oliver). Then the warriors and finally the bunnies. I waited for them to show their submission and I let out a battle howl and began running. I was furious with Lachlan. How dare he talk to me about Alpha duties? I’m the wolf! He’s just the p***y-hungry, selfish human,

‘HEY!’ the human objected.

I ignored him. Before we left, I wanted to see Rowena, smell her, hold her memorize her beauty, and calm myself. I really, really wanted to see her. I don’t think I’ll make it two weeks without her now that I’ve met her. I really could have used her strength on this because whatever we are stepping into isn’t going to be good. I can’t blame her. Why would she come to say goodbye when she thinks we took the bunnies to bed again? We didn’t. It is almost physically impossible for wolves to cheat. Lachlan thinks he could because he hasn’t accepted her, but I have. Once the mate bond is established, it’s challenging to be aroused by another. She probably doesn’t know that. What if she leaves and I never see her again? I almost tripped over a branch, and that would have been embarrassing. I shook my head. Not much I can do now. I have to focus on this task and get my head in the game. 

  We had been traveling for 9 hours when we stopped to hunt for some food, cool off in a river and do our business because we couldn’t stop for bathroom breaks. The bunnies had shifted back immediately, and One started complaining. Was she always so whiny? I want to rip her tongue out just to shut her up. I order them to be quiet for the rest of the trip and to leave my sight. Soon we were back on track. We were going to The Dream Amethyst pack first, then The Bloodstone pack. We were about half an hour away from The Dream Amethyst pack when we saw the heavy cloud of smoke. The closer we got, the thicker it became. That’s when I smelt it: burnt bodies, blood and severe amounts of copper.

We rushed forward, searching for any survivors. Who could have done this? I should have brought more help. There were no survivors, so we hurried to the Bloodstone’s territory. I prayed to the Moon Goddess there were still survivours left. As we got closer, I smelt it, more copper. That can’t be right, 

‘Alpha, is that vampyres I smell? They usually don’t travel in groups like this.’ Ace commented,

‘Vampyres? Vampyres aren’t violent and seriously, why would they use fire? It’s their weakness.’ Hendrix muttered back,

‘I don’t know what the hell is going on-

The smell of wolfsbane hit us immediately and before I could finish my sentence, we were shifting back involuntarily. 

Rowena

I  wanted to go say bye, but I convinced myself he wouldn’t want me there. I shouldn’t want to see him after his little stunt last night. He chooses to take the bunnies with him even though I would have been more helpful. I have powers! I was sulking in my room when Logan entered. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulled me close, and smirked. He decided to put me out of my misery by telling me that One had slipped into his bed last night, which mean Lachlan hadn’t slept with them. I cannot describe the relief I feel. It was short-lived because I remembered he’d be gone for two weeks. Ugh! Well, I can’t do much about it now. I have been here a few days already but never really saw the land, so I asked Logan to give me a tour. He told me he would take me after training. I did not want to be alone for two hours because Skye, Mae and Evie were also busy. I decided to join his training. When I informed Logan, I had never fought hand to hand before. He said he would teach me some defensive and offensive moves. He told me to run laps around the field five times to start off. I had only made it one round before I collapsed. I knew I wasn’t in shape or anything but only one lap? How pathetic. No wonder the Alpha doesn’t want me. He needs a strong she-wolf by his side and that’s not me. Logan came running over to me with a frown on his face,

“You’re severely malnourished. I should have thought about that before forcing you to run. Before we can train you, we need to focus on getting your strength up. Put some fat and muscle on those skin and bones.”  Logan helped me off the ground,

“I feel so weak.’ My lower lip trembled and I fought back the tears and lost. “ No wonder he doesn’t want me.” I sobbed.

Logan grabbed my face and forced me to look at him. He wiped away my tears and pulled me into him. He rubbed my back while whispering words of comfort. When I was finally calm, he pulled back and kissed my forehead,

“Forget him lets focus on making you better to hell with my selfish brother. I wish you were my mate, you’re beautiful and I wouldn’t take you for granted. All my life, I wanted a mate and that selfish prick gets one he doesn’t even deserve. Just like everything, He doesn’t deserve to be Alpha either. I would be better.” He said with disgust.

I didn’t want to comment, but I could feel the jealously roll off him in waves. Logan wanted everything Alpha Lachlan had. He showed me some workouts I could do to gain muscle and strengthen my core. I started off light: 15 squats, 15 push-ups, 15 crunches and 15 dips. Break for 2 minutes and repeat. He also told me I need to eat at least 1500 calories more a day. To add more protein, carbs, and fats to my diet, I couldn’t feel my body anymore after two hours. Logan laughed as I slowly limped my body to the showers. Frustrated with my lack of stamina and strength, I waved my hand and he tripped,

“You shouldn’t laugh at someone with powers.” I stick out my tongue.

For one moment, when he gets up, I fear that I’ve angered him. He suddenly burst out laughing,

“That was a good one. I’ll remember that, sis. But you also shouldn’t taunt a person who you made promise to train you.” He winked and walked away.

I got into the tube and relaxed. Mae and Evie had forced me to buy all these bath bombs and goodies. I was extremely thankful right now for them. I stayed in the water until I pruned up and finally got out. I wrapped a towel around myself and went to enter my room when I let out a shriek. Lying on my bed was Logan and he had on a troubled smirk. He was shirtless and had on tight blue jeans. I wasn’t blind. He was clearly gorgeous but did he think I wanted him? I want my mate even if he doesn’t want me. I’ll just have to make him want me somehow. Maybe some of those smut books Skye downloaded on my k****e will help. Logan was looking down my body slowly, like trying to memorize every inch of it. I felt uneasy with the way he was looking at me so I read his thought and they weren’t good at all. I wanted no part of the game he was trying to play,

“Whatever issues you have with your brother, keep them between you two. I need a friend, not someone who’s going to use me to their advantage. If that’s not you, tell me now. I’ll find my way around myself!” I stared him down with malice,

“I’m sorry you’re right. I don’t know what I was thinking. I do think we should pretend we are an item. Just to make him jealous, Just to give him a taste of his own torture. Get dressed, think about it. I’ll be outside.” He walked outside.

I sat on my bed and thought about what he offered. It was a good idea. How would the big bad Alpha Lachlan Gideon feel if I was all over his little brother? That would be an insult to his ego. As long as we don’t really do anything, I can pretend with him. I just don’t know if this will make him jealous or push him away permanently. I dried my hair and put it in two french braids. I wore black jean shorts, red chucks, and an AC/DC band tee. I walk outside. Logan is now wearing a white muscle shirt. He was handsome, just not as attractive as my mate.  

Lapis Lazuli pack took over a small town in Iowa. So it has all the usual small-town amenities. Its mostly all forest. The wolves can run free whenever they want. He took me to Main street. I passed it with his sisters yesterday when they took me to the city to shop. I wasn’t paying attention but now in day, I saw how beautiful it was. We passed by a library, an elementary and high school, a gas station and a grocery store.  Across the street was a diner with neon lights called Patty’s. There was also an arcade and a bar. Logan took me inside the diner and I ordered a vanilla milkshake like they have on Riverdale. Everything everyone needed on one street that’s convenient I thought to myself. One our way back to the packhouse we cut through the woods. I’ve never seen so much green. The ground was soft and filled with wildflowers and berries. The trees were so tall I couldn’t see the top. The air felt fresher in the woods and I felt like I had been in this place all my life. As we were walking we came to a beautiful clearing. A pink weeping willow came into view and I gasped. The reason this place looked so familiar is that I’ve seen it in my dreams! I quickly made my way to the edge to get a glimpse of the water but frowned,

“It’s been dry for almost 10 years.” Logan came up behind me,

“I’ve seen this place before in my dreams, it was full of the bluest water I have ever seen.” I pouted,

“Oh, I have an idea! Can you have as many pack members as you can meet us here tomorrow morning? I’m too tired today but I think I can fill it with some help” He nodded. We walked to the playground and I enjoyed the swings like a child.

By the time we got back, it was already 2 in the afternoon. I stopped by the Alphas office to spend some time with Skye. She informed me that Evie and Mae would come by later and that we could have a movie/girl’s night. We started off with Friday the 13th. Logan decided to crash our girl’s night. I decided to tell the girls our plan and they thought it was genius. Sometime after starts Halloween I must have fallen asleep. 

 Smoke was all that could be seen. Screams and cries polluted the air. Bodies are laid everywhere. Blood. Lots of blood.  c*****e was all around. I could practically feel the fear coming in waves.  Suddenly I see him my mate and my mothers she looks me dead in the eyes and rips his head off.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I sit up and blink away tears,

“What’s wrong?” Mae, Evie, Skye, and Logan asked together,

“We- i - we- need to go they need us! We need to go NOW!” I throw off the blanket and get up.

Skye grabbed me by the shoulders told me to calm down and explain to her what happened. I told them what I saw and then asked her to think of Jaxs so I can locate him. As soon as she had a clear image of her she told Evie and Mae to stay and watch the rest of the pack. I opened a portal, both Skye and Logan shifted and jumped through without a second thought. As I walked through the portal I was preparing myself for the worst-case scenario but it was nothing compared to what I saw.
