“Yep, and after that we will be leaving for Bora Bora, dales going to take over when we are gone”
I groan, I wasn’t looking forward to meeting him
“I know little wolf, their will never be any words to describe how sorry I am for doing what I did but he is the only person I trust with this stuff”
After meeting the pack I’m not actually surprised he can’t trust anyone and if I was guessing I would bet money on it, and I’m betting that's why Scott took the position too.
“I know I know, it’s just going to be awkward at the start ok?”
“Ok, thank you”
I lean forward and I kiss him and then I pull back grinning
“I’m driving”
I say to Scott he groans
“Awk please let me drive”
He pouts I grin
“You can on the way home”
He rolls it’s eyes as I grab the keys from Jax’s hands, he follows us down the stairs and to the kitchen. I go to the fridge and find eggs, bacon and sausages
“What are you doing?”
Scott asks taking a bite of an apple
“I’m making breakfast, make the coffee please”
He looks surprised as I pull out pans and turn on the stove heating it up and adding a little oil, Jax walks in and pauses
“What are you doing?”
“Making breakfast”
He looks surprised to
“You cook?”
I snort and roll my eyes
“Well yeah, I lived on a deserted island if we didn’t cook we would have died”
He takes a seat at the island watching me as I go from pan to pan preparing everything
“My bad, sorry. I don’t think iv ever used that oven”
I frown and look around, that’s why everything looks so new
“How long have you lived here and what the hell did you eat?”
“6 years and the elite team have a cafeteria, they cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, I pay for basically everything including 3 meals a day. I always ate there. It’s going to be weird actually Eating in this kitchen”
He waves to the room around him, I smile adding the eggs to a pan and pulling some dried herbs and adding them to the eggs
“Well I love to cook, I’ll cook dinner tonight. Are either of you allergic to anything?”
They both mumble a no as they continue to watch me, I grab plates and finish up plating up their food and handing it to them then I sit between and eat, Scott moans as he eats the eggs
“Damn what did you do to the eggs they are amazing”
I grin and shrug
“You will never know”
“They are amazing baby thank you”
We have our breakfast together, chatting with easy conversation then we say goodbye and head out I jump into the driver's seat and start up the car, Jax leans over and kisses me
“Be good and Ailms only, promise?”
He looked so worried, I smiled pulling his face back down by his beard and I kissed him again.
“I promise just to Ailms”
He sighs and nods and steps away from the car, I start it up and excitement builds in my belly as the car purrs to life I grin as I take off towards the town, the place is a flurry of movement.
“Why are they doing that?”
Scott asks watching as everyone that notices us stop and bare their neck to us
“It’s a sign of respect, shows they are submitting to us”
“Damn girl you really did put the fear in them”
I bite my lip at my heart tugs in my chest. The fact that I killed someone while putting the fear in them still fresh on my mind, Scott reaches over and squeezes my hand
“You did what you had to do, stop feeling guilty about it little wolf”
I sigh pushing some hair back
“I know I did but when I told you at the bar that I’ve never hurt a fly I meant it And I wasn’t ever planning to but now it looks like it could become part of who I am and it’s scares me”
“Baby I promise that I’ll take that burden for you, I’ll kill for you”
I shake my head as my stomach rolls
“It’s not that, I’m afraid I’ll like it. Because I didn’t hate it, yes I was shocked and I cried but it felt like it was who I am meant to be and that’s what scares me”
He doesn’t say anything for a minute then he sighs
“Well in a place like this that might not be a bad thing, from what I gather we are the law. We are the ones who need to put them all in their place. Maybe not being afraid to kill them is a good thing. Maybe liking it is nature's way of telling you that this job is yours for a reason and these people need to know that you mean business. By the sounds of it and after meeting them officially they all need to be kept in line or there would be caius. Maybe you need to be able to teach them a lesson without feeling guilty, after the way they treated you this morning definitely made me realise I won’t ever feel guilty for killing them”
I smile at him as I roll to a stop beside the border, the men jump out of nowhere and 3 of the 4 grin at me as the other looks like he wants to kill me, his partner elbows him in the ribs and he growls at him.
“Luna, beta how do you do?”
“Damn he spread that word fast”
Scott mutters beside me, I grin at them
“Good, are you going to let us through?”
“Yeah sorry we just wanted to say hello”
I wave at them
“Hey nice to meet you, what's your names?”
“Jack, forest, Henry and the grumpy one is Alfie”
“I’m not grumpy, she killed my sister”
My heart stops and I look to him sadly
“I’m genuinely sorry about that but I did ask her to submit several times and she refused”
“Yeah she gave her more chances then she deserved really”
Scott adds, Alfie looks pained nonetheless
“I know, she was too stubborn for her own good but it’s still difficult”
“I am sorry for causing you and your family pain Alfie but I really didn’t have a choice”
Jack grabs his shoulder and squeezes it
“Come on let’s let them through”
He nods and they all clear out of the way and disappear into the trees, I drive out of the territory and sigh, why did I not feel guilty? What was wrong with me? I felt bad for not feeling bad and the thoughts terrified me.
“You know if she had won the match she would have killed you”
Scott says, thinking his thoughts out loud and suddenly I realised that what he said is true and not only that but by some laws killing the Luna by challenge means that the she wolf can take my place, a growl escapes my lips at the thought of that b***h near my men.
“It’s good that she’s dead then”
I say sharply, suddenly feeling a whole lot better about not feeling guilty. We arrive at Ailms house just as her and deacon appear outside, they wave as I stop the car the area is a flurry of energy and excitement
“This place is buzzing!”
I say to her looking around all the people
“Yeah they all came to help plant, I’m so excited I thought they were going to be like gran and think it’s a waste of time”
I pout and shake my head
“Definitely not a waste of time, in fact I think it’s amazing. I’m so proud of you and Isla you know that right?”
I say pulling her into a side hug, she smiles and rolls her eyes
“Come on then we better get started”
We walk around the side of the house and past the small water hole and through the forest. As we climb through the trees I’m shocked to see a huge clearing with a large treehouse sitting right at the edge, the field has already been plowed and people have started the tedious task of planting. She hands us a bag of seeds and we begin planting the seeds, we work for hours and finally at around lunchtime we finish up. Ailm and Isla have huge grins on their faces as she thanks each pack member for their help giving them all a bag of weed for their troubles. It cracks me up as the oldest members of the pack race towards her excited for their weed.
“I have created monsters”
She whispers to me as the last of her people leave making me giggle, she takes my hand and pulls me towards the greenhouse
“Come see our new creations”
I follow her in and the place is like a science lab where she has different pots with different plants growing, she tries to explain why different soil is so important. She’s so passionate about it I haven't the heart to tell her I have absolutely no idea what she’s talking about. When she finishes we head inside where Isla is laying on the couch with her feet up
“So I was wondering if you both would be my bridesmaid”
They grin and jump up and squeal
“Hell yes but wait who 's going to the wedding?”
Ailm says and I can hear her heartbeat pick up in fear, her anxiety of strangers has left her terrified not that I don’t blame her.
“Just the boys and my parents, you 4 and aspen and Luca, Fay and arden are coming too but your parents are invited but they said you both could go and they would watch this place so it’s just small and gran doesn’t even know about it so mums going to wait until we are already in the air before she tells her but hopefully she won’t come”
Ailm grins and she visibly relaxes
“Then yes I will definitely go, when are we going dress shopping?”
“When we get to Bora Bora, we have the Luna ceremony on the full moon and Jax said we can leave after that”
“Yeah is Scott really taking the beta position?”
Isla says dragging me out to the deck and handing me a joint, I fill them in on everything including what happened this morning and how I feel about it.
“They sound like bitches, you did the right thing.”
Ailm says with a genuine smile
“Yeah you're a badass, the day we met Jax for the first time one of his men tried to shoot Ailm and he made him apologise and then he broke his neck I nearly passed out. He’s like a seriously scary alpha”
She’s not judging him when she talks about him, she’s being genuine and telling it how it is and that’s what I love about these girls
“Yeah and after this morning I finally see why he rules with fear because nothing else works. Dad said they sound like a posh pack of rogues and after spending the morning with your pack as they come to help you both plant your plants the difference is unbelievable. I can’t ever see our pack doing that”
Ailm smiles sadly taking in what i said
“I don’t think I would like that, I think I’d rather not be alpha or Luna if I had to deal with a pack like that”
I smiled back at her, I knew where she was coming from but I also knew why it had to be us.
“If we did that they would go back to the old ways and nobody needs that, if we don’t put them in line no one else will, so we have no other choice but to do it. Hopefully when Scott takes on the beta juties and I take on the Luna stuff, things might get easier for Jax.”
“See a born Luna right there”
Isla says pointing to me, I chuckle and we move the conversation on to gran
“What are you going to do about her?”
I ask them both they sigh and I can see the guilt all over their faces
“You had no choice, what she said was wrong girls”
They give me a small smile and Ailm wipes her face
“I just feel guilty for throwing them out. I just wish I knew what her problem is. If I knew that then it would be easy to sort out but I don’t and it’s killing me”
Isla hugs Ailm and she leans into it, I grab her hand and give it a little squeeze.
“Maybe we should just ask her to come back and talk, see if we can sort this mess out once and for all?”
Isla says to her, I have to agree she is family at the end of the day.
“I suppose all we can do is try”
Ailm pulls out her phone and rings gran, it rings out so she types out a message and sends it to her
“Their I made the first step the rest is up to her”
As they talk I feel a pull on the bond, Jax is close by and coming fast I frown and stand up looking around
“What’s wrong?”
“Jax he’s close?”
They stand up confused
“You can feel where he is?”
I look at them bewildered
“You can’t feel your mates? I have been able to feel Jax since I met him I could find him anywhere”
“That’s so cool I wonder is it a Lycan thing”
“Well he can feel me to so maybe, he’s coming fast hang on”
Me
What’s up? Is something wrong
Jax
Yes the pack was attacked, the elite are fighting them but a few broke out and are heading straight to Ailms territory
Me
Why did you not tell me!
Jax
I told Scott he told deacon and I thought they told you too
The boys come running through the door just as he talks
Me
They just arrived, what do I need to do?
Jax
Kill them they smell like rogues
The boys start to explain everything to the girls as I take a breath to calm myself and I walk through the house and out the front door. The place that was peaceful and quiet is suddenly a flurry of fear and warriors. I instantly felt guilty for even coming here, it was my fault that they came, it's my fault that they are coming onto this pack land, a pack that even though I never grew up with around all the time I still loved like family. I feel Scott come up beside me and I take a deep breath and I pull on everyone’s emotions, I can feel fear and anxiety but also determination. I snap my eyes open and look to Scott and deacon
“2 are coming from the left, 4 on the right and 2 straight ahead the ones ahead of us have little fear I’m betting they are the ones in control”
“How the hell do you know that?”
Jake says from the other side, his eyes wide as he looks at me in shock I chuckle
“Because I can feel their emotions, I’ll explain later they are a minute out”
I take Scott’s hand and I pull him forward
“Set yourself on fire, your safer that way”
“What about you? If they are here for you, should you not hide?”
He looks panicked, I reach up and kiss him pulling away quickly
“This is what we have trained to do, they are coming for us, these people are in danger because of us so we need to make sure no one on this side of the fence gets hurt. I might have a new pack but these people are our home, they accepted you even before you had a wolf, they are our people and we need to protect them”
A look of determination takes over his features replacing the fear, he nods and I feel the tug on my chest
“Jax is fighting, he’s ok but he’s coming to help, Jake to the left you have 30 Seconds. Deacon you have about the same”
“What about us?”
“Now”
