I'm A Soldier, Alpha

Not "The Talk"

Athena's POV

"You probably think I'm a brat. And quite frankly I think I was when I was a teenager." I say as Kylo pulls up the chair from the desk beside my bed.

"No, not really. I understand how you feel." Kylo says. Once he does say that I snorted trying to hold in a laugh.

"No, I literally felt what you were feeling when you were in the room." He says with a straight face.

I look away from him and stare at my hands. "Yeah, maybe you did feel what I felt at the moment, and maybe a few times after that. But are you still going through it at this very moment?" I ask him seriously.

He doesn't respond.

"I still see things in my life that if you told me that's how I was a few weeks ago, I wouldn't believe you." I say.

Kylo still doesn't say anything, but this time it's comforting. Then, I knock myself out of a fantasy.

"Kylo, mister big, bad, ruthless wolf, comforting his mate. I never pegged you for the type." I say teasing him.

He jolts his eyes to mine, "Pegged me for the type? You barely even remembered me until this morning." He retaliates and I laugh because of the reaction I got from him.

He chuckles when he catches on with what I was doing. "Haha, very funny." He says getting up, now sitting on the edge of my bed. "I'm going to come clean because no need in hiding it. I can't control anything when I'm around you, and I hate it. I can be anywhere and control everything, but you being here is like a shift in my world. I'm not going soft, but I am Going to say that we really need your help because Marco is going to kill anyone that stands beside me."

The sound of Marco's name makes me feel some type of way, I stayed with him for so long and he was just using me. This just made my skin boil.

"Okay. I'll tell you everything." I said to Kylo with dark, angry eyes.

"Let's go then shall we?"

After that me and Kylo headed downstairs to this big dining room where my family, Koda, and Miriam were sitting.

"Let's get to it then!" Koda says excitedly.

*****************

I told Koda everything I knew, from what I saw and what marco told me.

"So he just wants to kill you and take over the kingdom?" Koda says to Kylo.

"Why is that though. Kylo is mean, yea I get that, but enough to make someone want to kill him. Seems a bit over the top." I say to Koda.

"It's a long story, but from what you told us we need to start preparing for war." Kylo says about to stand and leave.

"I want to help!" I get out before he and Koda leave. Kylo turns around.

"Absolutely not. Too much is going on right now. You just got back from a mission that was shut down a year ago because your memory was taken. Are you getting the picture?" Kylo said while slowly walking to me.

With Kylo now standing in front of me I start, " You know what I remember? I remember making a call for my team to run to safety, and since Cal is standing in front of me 'ALIVE' I'd say my call was good, and that I did what I had to do as a leader. So weather you want me on this or not, I'm making my own decision." I stare him down, not letting my eyes stray away from his.

"Fine, but if anything happens to you..." He closes his eyes then walks off.

"Aw, don't want the people know you care." I say before the door closes.

Now it's time to prepare for war.
