The Last Water Phoenix

Ch 25 Tristan

He left Alex to get dressed. He quickly did that himself. He mind-link Matteo told him of what had happened. thought he might be able to help. He would be better suited due to age and experience.

He agreed, "I'm on my way." Thank you, she might reject it, but as a Luna, he doesn't think she will. Watching and listening to Alex read her fathers letter was heartbreaking. He didn't even need to call Matteo with his gamma ability as he felt her distress before she even broke.

"She's been holding it in 10 years of fear, worry, and after giving birth without her mate and him possibly dead. She can't hold it in any more. I've got her for as long as she needs, " Matteo said.

Thank you. He'll take Alex and Blake away. We headed for the dining hall. All the pack members stood and bowed their head. He was flooded with joy. All happy and liked Alex. He heard a couple of annoyed comments. He knew who they were and would be having words later. He hoped Alex didn't hear it.

She was a little embarrassed but took it well. We'd finished our breakfast, and Mother approached. "Sorry to interrupt, but Tristan, your father wants to see you?" she said.

He exhaled. Okay, he'll go now. Alex stood to come. Not this time, Alex, please, he'll come find you later. She nodded. Mother hugged her. "Family dinner, Tristan? Alex hasn't met your brother and sister yet, and your grandfather Sirus and Grandma Elise arrive today, " Mother said.

He starred at her for a moment. Okay, but dont push Mother, Alex, and Brooke need time. It's been a hard morning. Mother turned to Alex. "What's happened, my dear girl?" she asked.

She left Mother and Alex. He was heading for cells very slowly and was in no rush. When his unit stood outside waiting. What are you all doing?

"Supporting you," Garret said.

He's okay. Yes, father words were harsh yesterday, but he's realised he can't change him. How long have you been here?

"All night, we took it in turns. Your mother slept down here she might be mad at your father, but she wanted to be close to him, so we stayed with her. " Garret said.

Thank you. You didn't need to do that. "Your mother said the same, but we knew you would have liked someone with her, especially in the cells," Raven said.

Come on, let's get this over with. We headed down the steps to the main cell door. Guard greeted him and congratulated him. He unlocked the door. It was a reinforced steel door. He unlocked the door 3 keys, 2 different codes, hand print, and retinal scan.

Only 6 guards had it, and all the units and all locks were changed every 2 weeks. He headed down the steps. He stood in front of his father's cell. Mother said you wanted to see him.His father finally looked up. "Yes, I did. when am I going to be let out of here?"

When he knows you're not a risk to his mate. His father's eyes were wide. "What did you say?" You heard him. Our goddess was kindly enough to let him scent his mate before the full moon, and he is very happy about it.

So before you start ranting about her not being who she says she is. Alex has told him everything, and he accepts her, and if you don't like it, you can leave, or he'll de-rank you. "You can do that. I'm the alpha,"

You were the alpha, and since he's the current alpha, what he says is pack law. So you have two options you pull your head out of your ars and be a gentleman and get to know our new Luna or leave and never return.

He will make this very clear. Jet pushed forward all his Alpha aura. Alexandra will be Luna to Blake River pack and be his mate whether you like it or not, and anyone tries to get in the way will die, including his own father

"You'd really choose her over your own father?" Well, it's like you said, the good one died, so he doesn't need to please you anymore. His father just started at him and said nothing. Garret, can you and your father cuff Alpha Titus and take him for a shower and clean clothes.

"Yes, of course, alpha," Garret said.

"Tristan?" Father shouted. Yes, Alpha Titus. Father frowned. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I love all my children equally, and YOU are a good alpha, brother and son, " he said.

He just nodded and walked away. He headed back up to the pack house foyer to see Alex waiting for him. She smiled. He went straight to her, hugged her, and breathed in her scent it was very calming.

"Are you okay?" He is now for seeing you. What are you doing here? "I thought you might need some support." Thank you. He glad you're here. They is something he wants to discuss with you. Come to his office.

He walked hand in hand. He sat down on the sofa with her. How do you feel about contacting Aston he lives in Bloodmoon pack it's Alpha is " Alpha Thornwick pack?" she said, cutting him off.

How do you know that? she went quiet. Alex, how do you know him? she still said nothing. Alexandra, how do you know him? "My home pack was allied with him. My father went to school with his father. I don't actually know him, just that he's called Thornwick, and he's most likely alpha now. I haven't seen him since i was a child, " she said.

Oh, okay, is all he could say. How many allied packs did you have? "4, I think. Blood Moon in the wolfen realm. Willow peaks in England in the human realm. A witch coven in the wicken realm, and my mother home pack." she said.

They are far away, yes? she looked down. "My father's allied were more on a friendship, family level, and also to keep us hidden. Mother pack for obvious reasons. The Wicken coven, my father, saved a witch once, and she re paid him with loyalty. Willow peaks is another phoenix pack. Blood Moon, you already know," she said.

They aren't close by Alex. All in different realms. "I know it kept our secret but not helpful in war. My father knew this was a risk, " she said.

Well, we will call them now. He sat in his desk chair, and she stood next to him. She looked nervous and squeezed her hands together. He pulled her into his lap. It will be fine. He called Bloodmoon.

"Morning bloodmoon Beta Marcus speaking?"

"Hello, I am Alpha Tristan of Black Lake pack. Is Alpha Thornwick available to speak with me? it's important,"

"Yes, one moment." he said.

It felt like the longest moment ever. "Alpha Tristan, how are you?" He's good. Thank you for speaking with him. It's come to his attention that you are, well, were allied with his new Luna pack.

"Really name?" Are you alone? "No, but I can be." He heard footsteps leave. "It's just me and my luna Mia now I keep no secrets from her." He looked at Alex she nodded and grabbed a hold of his shirt.

Her name is Alexandra Sky. He was very quiet. Alpha Thornwick. "Is she with you now?" Yes, she is. "Alexandra, are you alright?"

"Hello Thornwick, it's been a long time," she said.

"It's has, are you alright? my father and our army came to find you, but all they found was vampires they fought a few, then left, as they didn't think any of you survived." Thornwick said.

It's a long story, " she said. She looked at him. Alpha Thornwick, why don't you come visit with Aston. He wants to see if he can find her father he's recently gone missing. More information has come to light about what he's been doing. It's a lot to say over the phone.

"Yes, we will. I'll check with Aston when he's free to travel and let you know. It will be nice to see you, Alex. " he hung up. You were friends?

"We were, we always attended their balls birthday parties, etc. We were friends, but we didn't go they after.... we didn't want to bring blood shed to their pack, " she said.

It was about an hour later when he received a call from Beta Marcus to say Alpha Thornwick and Aston would arrive the day after tomorrow. They would arrive at the France portal, and he would send cars to pick them up to arrive at the forest pack house.

"Their aren't going to be allowed in the pack?" Yes, they will his father rules yes, a bit extreme, but has kept this pack safe all these years. So once an alliance is signed, Thornwick will be allowed to come here to see you and your mother. Before you object, NO, you are not coming with him to the meeting. You will stay here with Gio and Raven and his father's unit. Himself and Garret will go. You are his Luna their aren't allied. You will stay here.

She smiled. What? "You're very hot in Alpha mode," he smiled. Behave luna. "Free for a quicky?" he growled. He wishes he was kissing her neck, but grandfather Sirus will be here soon, and he needs to email Alpha Thornwick about his pack protocols.

"Do you want me at the arrival of your grandfather?" she asked. We are not marked Alex, so if you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to. There are no protocols for it. If you want to, it would be nice to have you by his side.

"I'll go change." What you have on is fine, Alex. She got up. "I want to make a nice first impression," he smiled. Okay, you have 30 minutes. She kissed his cheek and left.

He emailed Alpha Thornwick his pack rules and protocols. He said once an alliance had been signed, he could enter the pack, but he would meet him at the forest pack house. He emailed back quickly. Told him to email his alliance papers over he would read sign before his visit.

He got up to go to the front steps. His guard had informed him that Grandfather was on the boat?. He checked his appreance in his office bathroom he looked presentable, no need for a suit jacket.

He left his office to find Alex stood at the bottom of the staircase. In a long sleeve deep blue dress figure hugging dress. It went to her knees. She had small heels on. She neaten her hair into a ponytail with loose bits framing her face. A little bit of makeup on.

"Is this okay? No, go back upstairs and get in his bed now. She frowned but laughed. "Come on, be serious." He is you look hot. "Will your grandfather think I look presentable?"

He will, but he's not like Father. He's a very jolly happy man. "He's a councilman tho" He took her chin in his hand. No alpha or councilman or vampire is going to make him let you go. Is this what's this is about?. Waving his hand up and down her outfit. She nodded. He kissed her and then heard foot steps coming towards them.

"Well, who is this lovely young lady with my grandson here?" he said
