Chapter 13: Witch’s brew

Beta Fabian

Sitting in the Alpha office felt so wrong, yet so right at the same time. I was sitting behind the desk smoking a cigar staring at my mate who was busy on the phone with her brother and father. Taking down Burke and Derrek was easy with the wolfbane she created. The truth about Lake mountains beta female is that she is a hybrid. Half wolf and half dark witch. Her mother pack is known for being ruthless. Her father was mated to one of the strongest dark witches in the northern hemisphere. They had two pups together. Raven being a full wolf and the current alpha of their pack and then Circe, my mate. She has a wolf and all the abilities of a wolf, but she also has some magic capabilities. Unlike her mother who can connect with other’s mind and penetrate it to see their memories and fears, she can only do dark spells and potions. As I stare at her I remember the first time we met. It was during an Alpha’s meeting at her pack. Burke and I has just turned 18 and we were still in our last months of training. When she entered the room and our eyes met. I instantly loved her so much that I could barely breath. I didn’t know what hit me and when her scent filled my lungs. I got that warm fuzzy feeling that everyone talked about, I looked straight into her eyes but all I saw was hate. She was disappointed I was not the Alpha she had hoped for, Burke. I was only the beta. I decided to not state my claim and although it was extremely hard, I kept my wolf from doing the same. After the meeting she pulled me into an empty room and instantly rejected me. I can only explain the feeling like someone stabbing a knife through your windpipe and leaving you for dead. Later that night all the young alphas and betas went for drinks at a local werewolf bar. When we stepped in her scent filled my lungs again, she was standing at the bar, flirting with a guy, at first, I tried to ignore it but the drunker we got the harder it became and at some point, I snaped and almost beaten the guy have to death that was when she pulled me out of the bar we mated in her car and ended up getting a hotel room. At some point throughout the night, I marked her as mine. I thought everything was going great, that was until the next morning. The sunlight hit my face and in my arms laid my angel. I stared at her with her makeup smeared. She opened her eyes and I lifted myself onto my one elbow to give her a soft kiss. She reached for her neck and before I knew she pushed me off the bed. I spoke softly telling her that I was sorry for what every I did to upset her this early in the morning. I came closer to her again and she screamed at me not to touch her. She got up pulled her clothes on and ran out the room. I followed her like a lost lovesick puppy, I caught up with her at the end of the stairs. I grabbed her into a hug, I tried to whisper sweet nothings into her ear to try and calm her down but all she did was shove me. She came at me swinging a nearby steel vase landing two shots breaking my nose and my jaw. I was on the on the floor bleeding when she ran out of the hotel. Some staff came up to help me. I called Burke to fetch me, and we went straight home. A few weeks later we had our Alpha and Beta ceremony and the next day she showed up with all her stuff. She moved into my house the morning and that evening we had our first fight. I can’t even remember what it was about something about a rug, before I knew it, she hit me three times with a hot pan before storming out of the house telling me she is leaving me. I locked her out of the house and decided that I will have one of the omegas pack up her stuff and have it shipped back to her pack in the morning. The next morning, I still had a black eye and as I was about to go out to the training grounds, I found her asleep on the steps of our house. She was ice cloud, lying there she looked so innocent. I picked her up and the sparks of our bond warmed my heart immediately. I carried her up to our bedroom and went about my way. For years that was the circle we were trapped in. We would get into an argument, spitting words of venom to each other, sometimes she would lose control and the beatings would get worse. I never fought back always taking the beating she dished out. A lot of days we spoke about going our separate ways but the next day it would all be forgotten and each day she promised to get better to work on her anger but that was just a lie again. I watched her leave out the window many times, I felt the pain in my chest many nights. After having Grant, she disappeared for about six months leaving me to raise him on my own. When she came back, she suggested therapy when I refused, she threatened to burn the house down with all of us in it. Every time we fell into the same patterns and the same routine. I have always been blinded by my love for her. Begging her to come back, admitting that I was the problem and not she. I had omegas pick up my stuff from the sidewalk when she threw me out. I took every hit she threw my way. I am drawn out of fought when I hear a glass shatter next to my head. I look straight at my mate. “Why do you NEVER listen to me?” she is shouting going on about something about how I do not care about her or how she is the one that must do all the work. I sit back take another puff from my cigar and stare at her. I know better than to come near her when she is in a frenzy. She continues to spit her venoms words at me telling me how worthless I am. I sit and take it because I love her, and I have always loved her but today feels different anger boils up in me. I feel my wolf coming to the surface and we are fighting for control. I normally push him as far back in these situations as I can but today, I have no control, I feel him taking control and before I know he has her pinned against the door hitting his fist into the wall next to her face. “Next time” my wolf starts. “There will be no next time” she spits in my face but we both know that is a lie. “I am tired of the games, Circe. Next time you disrespect me in any way. I will tie you to a stack and burn the f*****g pack down with you”. I stare straight into her eyes feeling my wolf retreating. I try to move away from her apologising for what my wolf did and said, knowing that this will end up in a fight which meant either her beating the s**t out of me with whatever she can get her hands on or leaving. “We need to be a united front now.” she says softly, touching my cheek where a lone tear is. I don’t understand her demeaner. “My father and brother will be here soon. They are bringing an elder with them, one that will be on our side and this, all of this will be over soon. OUR family will oversee this pack, and it will be like we always dreamt. Hush now.” and with that she smacked her lips giving me the most passionate kiss she has ever given me. My brain turns to dust and before I could comprehend what was going on I felt her knee hit my crown jewels. She picked up the crystal bowl in the middle of the coffee table and hit me against my temple, making me see stars. “Don’t you ever threaten me again wolf.” Was the last words I heard before drifting into the dark.
