Little Red Wolf

Chapter 10.

Buzzkill

“I’m so sorry Amaya. I wish I could take it back; you have no idea. It was not my story to tell otherwise I would have told you earlier. Please don’t leave me because of this, I can’t live without you anymore; not now that I’ve imprinted on you. It would kill me if you left me. We haven’t even gotten to the good part yet” his voice cracked as if he was about to cry. His emotional reaction took me by surprise and for a minute I forgot that my world was on fire; all I could see was my tall glass of water. I unbuckled my seatbelt, climbed over to his side of the car and straddled him. I slowly put my hands while looking deep into his eyes: “I could never leave you Alexander” “Yes you could, blood Lunas are not as affected by the bond as regular werewolves” the pain in his voice was killing me. I shook my head since I could not understand how I could be more affected than I already was. I was not just in love with him, he was like a drug to me. I wanted him so bad it hurt. There was nothing I would not do for him. In desperation I kissed him as hard and deep as I could; trying to display all my love for him in that one kiss. I felt a tear on my wrist, and I stopped the kiss: “Alexander please don’t cry, I love you and I promise to never leave you. I will always be yours”…”besides I’m the only one who’s allowed to cry tonight, I just found out I was adopted” we both laughed. I kissed his forehead and got back in my seat.

When we got back to the fortress, he stopped the car and gave me a small smile: “Thank you for tonight my love. It was nice…until…you know”

”It doesn’t have to end yet” I said and bit my lip.

“Amaya, a lot happened today maybe we should try this another time?”

I took a deep breath of disappointment and opened the door on my side, I was about to storm off to my room when Alexander flew out of the car, grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. I laughed screaming; I must have woken everyone up. He smacked my butt and told me to keep it down, I could hear his smile through his words. We were moving towards the main building; he was taking me to his room. I heard him unlock his door and we went inside. He put me down on my feet and kissed me while he took my blazer off and started to unzip my dress. My heart was pounding, and my underwear was soaked. I was wearing black lace panties and no bra, so I was fully prepared for what was about to happen. He stopped kissing me for a second to pull the dress over my head and let him. He gave me a quick kiss and walked away from me. I was confused, he headed into what I assumed was a walk-in-closet and stayed there for a few minutes. I looked around the room, it was huge, dark and very adulty looking. He had dark leather furniture and the bed was definitely a king-size, with these beautifully sculpted wooden pillars in each corner. Alexander startled me a little when he got back, he had changed into a pair of light pajama-pants, and my jaw fell to the ground. My body was shaking as he slowly made his way over to me, with that sexy smirk all over his face. When he was right in front of me, he took a deep breath and very assertively said: “Hands up” I followed his command as if by instinct but again was very confused when I felt fabric slide over my face. I looked at him frowning, he had dressed me in the top part of his pajama. His smiled and said: “nothing is happening tonight. Do you want a glass of wine?” I glared at him saying: “I’m not old enough to drink… unless I’m actually twenty-one” the last part in a slightly sarcastic tone. He laughed: “yeah I know, you’re only eighteen but I think it’ll be okay if you have one glass” he left me again and went through a door on the other side of the room; how big was this place? I followed him through the door into what turned out to be a decent-size kitchen. The appliances were amazing; every part of that kitchen was new. Apparently, my astonishment was all over my face since he said: “yeah, perks of being the Alpha I guess” I smiled but stayed silent. He opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into two huge but delicate glasses. He handed one of the glasses and said: “cheers to our first date, may there be many more” “cheers” I took a sip, swallowed and licked my lips. I should have started drinking wine earlier; it was delicious. I took a bigger sip which made Alexander say: “pace yourself my love, you haven’t had alcohol before, and I don’t think you want me to hold your hair later on”. I took another sip just to provoke him, then I turned around and walked back into his bedroom. He followed me and we sat on the couch in silence. It was a few minutes before I managed to press out a sentence: “So, who are my real parents?”. Alexander did not move a muscle or display any emotion until he took my glass and put it on the table next to his. “Amaya, are you sure you want to talk about all this now?” I nodded but I was dreading the answer. “okay well, your dads name is Asher. He is an alpha and your mother is a Luna”

” What’s my mothers name?”

“Her name is Cassandra, she loved you so much. It nearly killed her to let you go but she had too. No one knew if Harlow was alive or dead and if she found you…the world as we know it would have ended. Your mother is a very powerful Luna, she can take small peaks into the future”

“you keep is and can. Are they alive?” tears fell down my cheeks.

“To be honest I have no idea if they are alive, where they are or how to contact them. After your birthparents had given you away, they went underground, just in case Harlow would come back. They were the only ones who knew where you were up until the day Dave showed up to tell me you had turned for the first time”

I took a big sip of wine, tears still running down my face then said: “Why did they give me up? Why couldn’t they just bring me with them? I don’t understand why they had to dump me with strangers”

“My love, you have to understand how important you are. You can make werewolves and there are no one else who can do that. If Harlow was alive and she had tracked down Asher and Cassandra she would have kept you, maybe even raised you as her own only to use you for your blood. Your parents wanted you to grow up with a loving family, have a somewhat normal life and become your own person before having to deal with all of this”

At this point I was crying uncontrollably, and I leaned into Alexanders chest for comfort. He held me close as I cried my heart out and once in a while, he would stroke my hair as he said:” it’s all going to be okay. I’m here, you’re not alone”

When I finally stopped crying, I was so beat. I had cried out all of my energy and I do not think that the wine helped. I sat up straight to wipe my eyes, but Alexander beat me to it. “It’s time for bed my love” he picked me up and carried me to the bed. I got under the covers, he followed me, and I placed my self in his giant arms. It felt so safe so before I got around to saying goodnight, I fell asleep with my face pressed against his chest.
