Alex POV
This huge wolf seven feet on all fours, with black fur with silver tips and glowing silver eyes looking at me. He lays down next to me and rolls on his side so I could get my leg up. Once I had my leg over he stood up I grabbed onto his fur and he sprinted through the woods. I never felt any pain from the ride. It was like being on a cloud.
My mind started to wander. Why did I do that back there? When he said he was sorry I was hurt? Then I kissed him again. Why did I do that?
“Because he’s hot.” A voice in my head.
Okay, now I’m cracking up. The smell of fresh rain in the forest is stronger than it was before. I love the earthy, pine, plant smell after it rains. Touching him now is setting me on fire. I just want to rip his clothes off and have my way with him. When he shifted and I saw everything back there it took everything not to have him right there. God, what is wrong?
“He’s yummy and he’s ours.” The voice said.
What is going on I can’t be with him. It’s not safe for him. Anthony would always scream at me if I find you with someone else I will kill you and the brat. I wanted to kill him myself for the way he treated Jake. How does anyone treat their own son like that? But after I rolled down the hill on my quad and he showed up I don’t know what came over me. I just want to be in his orbit, I wanted to be in his arms. I wrap my arms around the wolf's neck and leaned in as close as I could. I wanted to be as close to him as I could. I could feel Phineas it was almost like he was purring.
“Goddess give me strength. I may have to take this beautiful beast right now.” There’s that voice again.
Maybe it’s from the pain I’m going mad. Every wall is coming down. This injury must be causing this. But the voice has a point; right now I just want him to shift back to his Greek god form and take me right there. I’m getting worked up just thinking about it.
We came down the hill and to the cabin. Phineas laid down and slowly rolled on his side so I could slide off. Then Nick was in front of me scooping me up against his very naked body. “My love you need to stop those thoughts .” He smirked; I was confused. “I can smell your arousal; I can only hold Finn back so long. You keep that up I won’t be able to stop him.”
“Please do let him come through.” The voice again I could almost feel it smile.
“Sorry.” I blushed.
Nick’s eyes went black and silver. “Don’t be sorry my dear mate. It makes me smile knowing I do that to you.” He grinned. He put his mouth next to my ear. “ Let’s just say I can’t wait to make you mine and I promise I will take care of that every time.” His eyes turned back you couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.
He laid me on the couch. Kneeling next to me then the others came in.
“What happened?” Lilly screeched. Running to look at my leg.
“I flipped the bike. As you can see it landed on my leg. I need to get to the hospital.” I informed her.
“ I’m here you don’t need a hospital,” Lilly stated and started chanting something. It was like something out of Harry Potter. The bone moved back in place I could see it start to heal and the skin close. I was shocked. She gave me a small vial to drink what was inside.
“You should be good as new in a couple of hours but you need to rest.” Lilly smiled.
“Good, maybe when the pain stops so will the voice in my head,” I announced everyone turned and stared at me.
“Did you say voice?” Lilly was shocked.
“Yes, she’s been there since I rolled the bike. She speaks to my inner monologue. Well, only when; Ah not important.” I stammer.
“We need to know everything, my child,” Lilly said I think she knows she is just forcing me to say it.
“Lilly you know so I don’t have to say it.” I snapped.
“Interesting. Talk to it.” Lilly tells me. I was stunned. “ I want to test a theory.”
“How do I talk to it?” I asked.
“The same way you did before,” Lilly answered.
So why not I guess we are all going crazy. “Hello,” I call out I can’t believe I’m trying to talk to a voice in my head.
“Hello, sweet cheeks.” It said. Okay, I’m officially cracked up. “ No you are not; you are perfectly fine. I’m still a little weak so I can’t come through but when I do our mate is in trouble. The things I will do to him.” I could feel the happiness roll from it. I hit my head I had to rolling down the hill. “No you didn’t hit your head I have always been a part of you but my dear mate helped wake me up.”
“Okay, how can you hear my thoughts?” I ask it.
“I am you well rather apart of you. You can call me Elle; mother gave me a name you humans wouldn’t be able to pronounce. Plus you will call me by it as you do with Finn. But he likes it when we call him Phineas.” She’s purring.
“What are you? Did you make me kiss Nick back there?” I questioned.
“Oh I didn’t make you do anything dear, the stronger I get the more you will feel the bond. I don’t have to do anything. In a couple of days, I will be where I should be. As for what am I I am your wolf.” She explained.
“I don’t have a wolf I am a witch. Only my children will be hybrids.” I tell her.
“Mother’s plan for you is not what the oracles have interpreted from what they have seen. The prophecy is somewhat right. The mate, blood moon eclipse, and your children. But you there so off. All sides will wake up and will be apart if you are marked and mated by the blood moon eclipse. If not they will win and we won’t exist. Without us, at full power, we can’t win.” She explains to me.
“What are my so-called powers.” I couldn’t stop with the questions.
“You have the DNA of all creatures. Wolf, witch, vampire and fae. All parts will start to wake now that you have found your mate. There will be a point all will work together and destroy the threat. But it has to be before the eclipse or it will all go away. He will find you regardless if you have committed to your role as Queen you will win. If you don’t you and our pup will be buried on the hill. I know it’s hard to hear and I’m forcing your hand. The choice’s your Jenny.” She says and my heart drops thinking of Jake dead, tears streaming down my face.
“You have a wolf? That’s not possible your only supposed to be a witch.” Lilly was shocked.
“Her name is Elle. She said I wouldn’t be able to pronounce her actual name. What the oracles have seen is only partially right. I need to go to my room please we can talk about this later.” I go to stand up but I am not healed enough for that. Nick picks me up and carries me to my bed. Elle must be getting stronger his touch is sending sparks through my body and soul.
“My love I can feel your emotions you are not okay. Can you please tell me what’s wrong?” He begged.
“If I don’t mate with you Jake will die.” I started to cry.
“What how is that possible?” Nick wrapped his arms around me. My head resting at the base of his neck. His scent is getting stronger as I breathe in it calms me.
“If I don’t take this role the moon goddess has placed on me everything supernatural will die. Everything. I look into those beautiful big eyes. He has tears in his eyes. I won’t just be a witch I will be all four not just our children. I have to be mated and marked before the next blood moon eclipse. If not we are all doomed.” I tell him everything.
“I don’t want you to do anything you are not ready for or I don’t want you to feel forced to be my mate. But I have to ask you what would be so terrible to be marked by me and mated to me.” The hurt dripped from Nick’s deep, low voice.
He thinks I don’t want him. Oh my no. If I was eighteen I would have done anything to be with him. “This has nothing to do with you. You just have bad timing. If this would have been four years ago we would be having a different conversation. This perfect man wanted me and we would have been happy. Now I only bring you danger. I had to run from my life because of Jake’s father. If he ever finds us and I have moved on with this perfect man he will kill you and I can’t live with that. You would die because of me. I’d never be able to live with myself for being selfish.” I sighed.
Nick put his hand under my chin and tilts my head so I’m looking into his eyes. “ No one is ever going to hurt you again. I promise you on my life you and Jake will be okay. I know this is all new to you and we will go as slow as you want to. I’m not going anywhere, Alex. You and Jake are my life from now and forever.” Nick leaned in and kissed me. My body melted against his.
When he pulled back I could hear Elle whimper. He went to get up I grabbed his hand. “Could you stay with me for a while? At least till I fall asleep.” I asked him. He climbed onto my bed. The bed is only six feet. It was funny to watch him fit on the double bed. He put his arm around me, I snuggled into him as much as I could and almost fell asleep instantly.
*****************************************************
Nick POV
When I could see her eyes go black I could see she was having a conversation I was excited she has a wolf. She would feel the bond. Finn was excited he was prancing in my head. He could feel her.
“Our mate is strong.” Finn Purring.
I block him out so I could listen to what Alex was saying. My beautiful goddess; those pouty lips I just want to attack them to feel them against mine. Okay, stop thinking about that I can feel myself twitch. I shift so no one can notice. She’s so upset. I can feel her pain and agony. Normally you don’t feel their emotions until you mark each other but I feel it as same as it was my own. She tried to get off the couch and couldn’t put her weight on her leg. I picked her up and took her to her bedroom. I told her I could feel what she was feeling through the bond. When she said that if we don’t mate Jake would die. I could feel her heartbreak. When I asked how she told me everything her wolf told her.
“I don’t want you to do anything you are not ready for or I don’t want you to feel forced to be my mate. But I have to ask you what would be so terrible to be marked by me and mated to me.” I asked terrified of her rejection. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
“This has nothing to do with you. You just have bad timing. If this would have been four years ago we would be having a different conversation. This perfect man wanted me and we would have been happy. Now I only bring you danger. I had to run from my life because of Jake’s father. If he ever finds us and I have moved on with this perfect man he will kill you and I can’t live with that. You would die because of me. I’d never be able to live with myself for being selfish.” Alex sighed.
“ No one is ever going to hurt you again. I promise you on my life you and Jake will be okay. I know this is all new to you and we will go as slow as you want to. I’m not going anywhere, Alex. You and Jake are my life from now and forever.” I vowed to her. I leaned in and kissed her the sparks through the bond was stronger than ever. I knew if I didn’t pull back Finn wouldn’t stop. I went to leave when she grabbed my hand and asked me to stay with her. Finn was dancing and I am not going to lie you wouldn’t wipe the smile off my face. I climbed into the bed trying to fit on this small bed. I could feel her amusement. I knew with her leg she couldn’t cuddle into me so I put my arm under her and pulled her as close as I could. I felt her relax in my arms as she goes to sleep. If I die right now I will be a happy pup.
“Finn, can you see if you can talk to Elle? I know normally you can’t until you’re marked but I feel her emotions and we are not marked and mated.” I asked Finn.
“Well, I can always try,” Finn answered. “I’m going to have to block you out for this.”
***************************************************
Finn POV
I focus on Alex I need to get Elle to come to me. To my surprise, it doesn’t take long for us to meet in our realm.
“Well hello, handsome.” This beautiful white wolf's eyes of purple, blue, green and silver are all woven together.
She walks over and we rub up against each other. “My beautiful mate. Elle, you are truly a Queen.” Her fur shine’s like diamonds.
“You my God are more than I could have imagined. But right now you are not here to see me for some us time. Even though this is nice.” Elle said and rubs her head under my neck and laid down.
I lay next to her. I want to mate with her right here and now but we have to wait till our well her human to be ready. “I have my human blocked out but we are both worried about you our mate. Well not you but the human.” I tell her. Can we let my human hear so he can help her?”
She licks my face. “Unblock him there is so much you need to know about our little Jenny.”
“Jenny?” I was puzzled.
“Yes her real name is Jennifer. Let your very handsome human in so I can tell you both. This is not going to be easy I am pushing her as far as I can to feel the bond I’m still a little weak.”
I cut the block. “Finn what did you find out?” Nick asked.
“Only her name. I wanted you to be here before I tell him anything. You are going to have to be the one to do the work.” Elle smirked at Nick. “But you will need my dear Finny’s charm.”
“Please my Queen we need to know we have no idea how long she will sleep.” I beam at my Queen.
“Jake’s father is a wolf a very nasty one. She doesn’t know he was a wolf. He was the most charming man until she was having his pup. He beat and tortured her for the whole time she was pregnant and six months after our pup was born. He threatened to kill Jake one night. That was the last time he raped her. Once he threatened our pup she got the courage she needed to leave. She could take when he threatened her but not him. Nick you will have your work cut out for you. He would always tell her if she left he would find her and if she was with anyone else he would kill him and Jake right in front of her. Nick that was not a threat he will do it. But since you are no ordinary wolf he could never defeat you. He is of Alpha blood but you my boy are more then you know. That is all mother will allow me to tell you. But we have to convince her quickly the blood moon eclipse is in a week. Good luck my God. Make her safe and loved; she will be yours. As for you my beautiful beast we will be together soon.” Elle told Nick and I then she was gone.
“There is your answer human you have a lot to do but Elle and I will help.” I told Nick and cut the link.
*****************************************************
Nick POV
After listening to Elle tell me what has happened with Alex my blood is boiling, I will kill him and I will enjoy watching life leave his body. I will torture him slowly and painfully Alpha blood or not. But what did she mean I’m much more. Anyway I don’t have time to think of that I have to find out who has hurt my love so bad and to threaten that sweet little boy. I get up slowly so I don’t wake Alex, walk into the main cabin; I hear them talking to me but I was in to much of a rage. It’s bad when your wolf is trying to calm down the human. I walk outside and shift; I didn’t care if I shredded my clothes, then ran. Finn ran so fast so I could clear my head. I hate this happened to her, I hate I can’t help her. No wonder she’s afraid; he treated her good, she got pregnant and he would beat her. Finn was getting pissed now he let out a very loud howl. I could see why she would never trust me but it hurts, I would never do that to my goddess. I have to prove to her that her and Jake are my everything. Biology doesn’t make a Dad and I will be the best Dad to that little boy.
A six foot black wolf comes towards me with a bag in his mouth. Shifts then throws me a pair of jogging pants. Then a six foot brown wolf behind him.
I shift back and put on the pants so do Chris and Lex. “You want to tell us what that was about?” Lex asks.
“Other then the fact when I find him Finn and I are going to take turns torturing him before we kill him.” My rage is starting to consume me again.
“Alright brother why don’t you tell me and Lex everything and we can all come up with a plan.” Chris responded.
“I talked to her wolf. Once Alex went to sleep I asked Finn to see if he could talk to Elle. I know before you start we are not marked and I feel all of her emotions. Elle wanted me in on the conversation so I could know. He was sweet to her, made her think he loved her. Took her out treated her well until she found out she was pregnant. Then he treated her like a prisoner. Beating her and threatening her. After she had Jake to keep her in line he would beat her and threatened Jake. The last time before she ran away he raped her and told her he was going to kill Jake. She drugged him and they got away. She’s terrified guys; Elle said whoever done this is of Alpha blood and he will not hesitate to kill me and Jake without batting an eye. I don’t care about me I can handle him. But if he ever hurt Jake to get to her I don’t know what I would do. How does she ever trust anyone again I can treat her like the Queen she is but she’s always going to wonder when do I turn into the monster.” Tears coming down my face. I love her so much and how do I take these feelings from her. That I will never hurt her I will always love her and our son. Finn and Elle were right I have a lot of work.
“So are you going to reject her.” Chris asked.
My rage was bad enough but that set Finn off. In my human form Finn came forward and pounced on Chris. “How dare you think that. I don’t give a damn how hard it is she is MINE. No one will hurt them again. They will have to go through me and I would die for my love and my pup.” Growling at Chris.
Lex grabbed me to pull me off Chris. I took over from Finn and let go of Chris. Don’t get me wrong I was pissed he suggested it also but Finn took it to a whole other level.
“I’ll take that as a no.” Chris stretched his neck and grinned. “Look man I know Lex and Anna went through a lot and look where they got. I mean I had some crazy b***h to deal with but this is going to be hard. But when it works it will be worth it and you’ll be as happy as we are.”
“Take yourself out of the situation. You are the best Gamma in any pack or even the council. Hell Stephan had you train his people. If this was happening to one of us how would you treat it?” Lex took me out of the equation and it actually helped me think.
“Alpha if that was you I would have found out everything I could have about Anna’s background. To find out who it was and make a plan once we knew what we were dealing with.” I answered.
“There you go Gamma. Now your thinking with your head instead of emotions. That’s why you are good at what you do. Remove yourself. Right now you are the Alpha tell us what you need.” Lex commanded me. The only way I wouldn’t treat him as the Alpha.
“Find out everything on Alexia and Jacob Smith Lex. Chris I need you to take Jake for a little while I need Lilly’s help with something.” A smirk crossed my face. “ Let’s get back so I can get my Queen.”
We stripped,shifted and took off back to the cabin. When we got there Lex,Chris and Jake went into town. Chris was going to take Jake to the park while Lex was looking for any information on them.
“Lilly please come outside I am going to need your help.” I grin at her.
I tell her what I want to do for the evening and Lilly beams at me. “I knew you wouldn’t give up on her. First we need this.” Lilly waves her hands on a clearing on the back of the property a large, three story house appears. “Well the Alpha and Betas mates will be here tomorrow so we will need the space. I think Jake and I will need a room also. At nightfall all the yard will turn into what you need it to be.”
“Lilly there is one thing I didn’t tell anyone of you what Elle said. We have to be mated by the next blood moon eclipse you know that part but you didn’t know it was a week away.”
“It’s two months away.” Lilly said in shock.
“No Elle said next week.” I informed her.
“We have to work fast young man. Her wolf will help but this is coming faster then I expected.” Lilly’s face was a mix of shock and concern.
“Lilly this is a small town. Can you get these two things for me? You can’t get it in town. I passed her a list.
“Yes my boy my pleasure.” She beamed.
I will make sure she never forgets this night.
