Rose
My mother was the first to hear the whistles. I was standing with Shiva talking close by. When I heard them I immediately knew who it was. My mother looked at me and nod her head. I repeated the same three whistles back and then surely again we heard the whistles. My mother quickly got my aunt to chant a few words and suddenly my dad and uncle Derek with another male I did not know came into sight. My mom made her way to him, I saw him introducing her to the stranger and that was when Shiva smiled. “My lion” she whispered. “Excuse me, Rose I would like to check up on my mate” she said, I nodded and then decided to make my way to the cabin to get Elaine, from the look of it our dad’s would need here help. I knocked on the door. “Elaine, we need you. Our dad just showed up and they need..” I couldn’t even finish my sentence before she came storms through the door full doctor mode. I followed her as we made our way to meet our dads. “Elaine, how is Iker?” Uncle Derek asks when he sees his daughter. “Fine daddy thanks to mom and aunt Lily, but let me look at these wounds now.” She had her father sit down as the warriors bring closer stretchers for their Alpha and Gamma. “Sit down Burke” I heard my mother instruct my father. I make my way towards him, when he sees me there is a slight relief in his eyes. “I am glad you are ok.” I just gave him a small smile. My mother was just staring at him with her death stare. She cleared her throat. My father looked at her as if he has no idea what she is trying to do. “Lily not now” was all he said. “It’s fine mom, I am not a stranger to my father’s disapproval in me.” I turned around and decided to walk away feeling the anger building inside me and unshed tears in my eyes. I tried to take deep breaths resisting a full mental and emotional break down. “Rose, come back please” my mother begged. I just kept walking into the dark. “Rose!” I heard my father command but I refuse to give in and just continued on my path. When I thought I was far enough I just collapse onto the floor, pulling my knees up to my chest and just letting all the emotions was over me. I cried about a minute before I felt his presence and took in his scent. He sat behind me making sure by back was against his chest and his arms wrapped around mine. I took deep breaths knowing his scent will calm me. “Rose speak to me.” he whispered. “Tell me how you are feeling”. I took a few deep breaths and looked up to the sky. “I don’t feel a single thing. I have been caught up with everything and now I feel so out of touch with this pack and this role I need to fill.” He continued to hold me letting me pour out my heart. “I been so set in my lane and now this role I want to fill just feels too big for me for 12 years I was thriving being myself. I have been back here for 1 day and he snaps me like a twig.” More tears start streaming down my cheeks. “I don’t know Hunter. Do you sometimes feel…” I didn’t have the guts to say the words I was thinking. “A little bit tired of this life?” he asks breaking the silents. I only nodded. “I think I am hanging by a threat.” I said. He only pulled me closer to his chest and I rested my head on his shoulder. “We will survive, but you need to be in the room, you need to stand up to him and show he you are present and ready.” I did not respond on his statement. In that moment I didn’t know if I cared anymore. Let him do with the pack what he wants I thought to myself. Really? We are having a pity party because daddy didn’t hand us the title. Sif sneered in my head. Pull yourself together before we go past the point of no return. I am just trying to care, I said to my wolf. And I don’t. She snapped back. Stop being a cry baby and tell him, no better yet show him what we can do. My wolf was pissed.
Sif
I was getting irritated with Rose’s childish tantrum. This was enough, I wish she could see herself the way I, the moon goddess and our true goddess sees her. As we were a true alpha female we have received a special gift from the goddess Freyja. She is truly as special goddess associated with love, fertility, war, gold and magic of seeing and influencing the future. The special gift we got was the ability to strategize better than any Alpha. Leading came natural to us thanks to our gift. In college people referred to Rose as a fixer. Get up and stand tall, I reminded her as she was sitting in our mates arms, we do not need anyone’s help or sympathy and we certainly do not need your dad to lower the bar for us. We both know that we are super woman and we know we are strong, but we need to get up. Rose got up, Hunter taking her into his arms and squeezing us in a giant bear hug. “Let get back to camp I need to speak to my father” she told Hunter. Hunter took Rose’s hand and lead us back to the camp site. As we approached the Alpha we could see he was pissed, his aura spilling over with anger. “I gave you an order and you ignored me” he shouted at Rose, I could feel myself pushing forward feeling my own anger but Rose was not a push over, she did not allow me to take over completely but allowed me to share control with her. “Alpha” we spoke as we looked straight at him, our own aura spilling over. “You might not know of want to know this but we are strong” we spoke with so much power that the wolves around us seem to submit due to the power now streaming through our aura. “You might think we can’t do this but I have been doing all of this all along. We are phenomenal and we are just what this pack needs as its next leader and we certainly do not need a weak Alpha to tell us who to be.” We looked our father straight in the eyes. Did we just called my father weak? Rose asked sounding a little bit scared of her father’s reaction. Yes just go with it, I said trying to keep our badass attitude going. “And you know what we have Hunter now to hold us and love us. We don’t need you to fix us anymore, and to you we might be broken but that doesn’t matter because that is what make us strong and beautiful.” We that I decide to give Rose back full control and lay back and see what happens next.
