Tears of an Alpha

Chapter Eight

Apollo POV…

While running, I feel the pain of many broken bonds, which can only mean that some of my pack members have died or been killed. I try to link Alex, but he has blocked me.

There has to be something wrong. If anyone has hurt Emma or Allora, I won’t be held responsible for my actions.

Running home seems to take way too long, Alex still hasn’t linked me, and nobody else can tell me anything, only that Emma went out.

I finally reach the prison, and what I see has me frozen. Body parts lay everywhere, blood all over, it was like nothing I have ever seen before. Looking all over, I can not see Emma or Alex, nor can their sent be traced, too much blood. I know that the bodies are the guards due to the parts that still have a uniform showing.

I then spot Alex. He is covered in blood, leaning against a tree. Running over to him, terrified that he is badly hurt.

“Do not worry, Alpha, she did not hurt me, this is their blood, I just got a little messy. I think Emma has forgiven me, though. The guards, however, got what they deserved, I just stood back and watched. They did not stand a chance. She moved faster than anything I have ever seen.”

“Where is she, Alex? Where is my mate?”

“Gone, she left.”

“Left? Left to go where? Her family and friends are here, the school and life are with us. She could not have just left, and what is with the stupid grin? None of this is ok. What has gotten into you?”

I have had enough, Alex is not making any sense. Grace or Gina might have some answers for me, so I head to the mansion to find them both.

I spot Grace as soon as I enter, she is feeding on one of the omegas, which is not like her at all. The young girl leaves when I approach.

“Sorry Alpha Apollo, I needed to heal, Emma broke my hand when I tried to stop her leaving. Although it was not Emma, or Allora. Something else was present, I could feel a dark entity. We need to talk to a witch or an Oracle.”

“This is bad Grace, if she hurt you, what will happen to anyone else who gets in her way? I have already seen the destruction this entity is capable of, she tore the guards who hurt Emma apart. I will schedule a meeting with a few witches and contact the Oracle I know. It will not be easy though. Be ready to leave at any time.”

“No problem, Alpha, I’m willing to do whatever is needed to bring my Friend back to us.”

Alex POV…

Why am I grinning he asks. That little bit of information will be staying with me. I have never felt anything like that before, she was incredible, in every way, the s*x was so hot, I will never forget it, or her. I guess I should arrange a clean up here, no point in daydreaming and reminiscing.

Three days it has taken to find a witch that might be able to help, the Oracle is unreachable. Word has already spread of a partly shifted wolf girl killing and maiming, not just criminal’s, there have been cases of men being castrated for arguing with there Wives or Girlfriends. All this in such a short space of time.

Grace, myself and Alex prepare to leave, Gina is trying to get us to let her come, but we have to be quick, there will be to many deaths if we don’t hurry. The pack is left in the hands of my council, with help from the elders, because this has to be me, I have to be the one who deals with my mate, whatever that may be.

The witch we are seeing lives a two-hour journey away, she said there are other covens near her, and they will be contacted for information.

Once we arrive at the coven a tiny woman approaches us, she has long dark blue hair and purple eyes. I have never seen that on a witch before, unless she is part Fey, which would explain a lot. The dress she is wearing is white, but shines like moonlight, and her skin is like porcelain, a few freckles were scattered over her button nose, no shoes are on her feet.

“I am Lara, protector of this coven, we welcome you. hold tight and I shall let you through the barrier.”

We do not see a barrier, just a few cottages. Lara takes my hand and signals for the others to do the same. She leads us towards the cottages, but when we reach them a cold wave hits, suddenly we are transported to somewhere else, it is beautiful, pure white buildings that look like they are made from marble, silver statues of every type of supernatural, rivers running through the town that are as clear as diamonds. The women are beautiful, all tall with silver or white hair, some have tan or dark skin. there are no colours in any of their eyes though, they are completely white, with a slight glow.

One of the silver haired women addresses us.

“Welcome wolves and Friend. Do not fear the silver, it will not harm you here. This, as you may have guessed, is not a coven, it is home to all Oracles. We had to deceive you, I am sorry for that, but nobody can know of our existence, yes there are other Oracles, but they choose to be alone, but we are stronger together, and we do not age here. Time is different, a week here will be but a minute in your world, although we do not see a difference in time. It is all the same to us, we cannot measure days or weeks, we see to much, never knowing when we are. Whether we be in the past or future. Lara keeps us grounded and helps us all. She is a grand Fey, stronger than any off us. Anyway, enough of the pleasantries, come and eat we have a lot to discuss. Oh, this is not a Fey land, so you can eat here, the food is from earth. Just do not drink our wine, well unless you want to dance naked in the streets, I have only done it once. Never have I touched a drop since.”
