Rosalyn pov
Sunday went by quickly and uneventful, Alessandro and i had finished our packing by midday, we also visited our friends at the pack house to say our goodbyes. We are currently at the airport waiting on our flight which had been delayed by an hour, as I sat in the airport my mind took me back to a time when I was younger.
Flashback
"Micheal dear lunch is ready come inside and eat" my mother called
"coming mom" Michael answered
I sat on the grass waiting for her to call me, I stayed there waiting but she never called I got up and went inside to find her and Michael eating
"mom where is my food?"
She turned and stared at me with the meanest glare I have ever seen then she got up and smacked me across the face and yelled
"stupid brats don't get an ounce of food in my house go to your room you worthless child"
I ran up the stairs to my room with tearful eyes trying to figure out what I did to make my mother angry........end of flashback
I drifted back to reality when I heard the flight attendant calling the passengers for our flight, Alessandro and I got up and headed to the gate to board the plane.
The flight was 20 hours long (A/N I'm not sure how long a flight from Italy to California is) when we departed from the plane I needed to use the bathroom so Alessandro went to collect our bags. When I came back I saw Alessandro standing in front of someone it looked like they were having a conversation I wondered who he could be talking to since he doesn't know anyone in Cali, as I got closer the person's features became more clearer and after a few more steps I could see who it was clearly.
"Michael!!" I yelled flashing my hands in the air
Michael turned in my direction as well as Alessandro, they both smiled at me as I made my way over. when I was close enough Michael pulled me into a bone crushing bear hug
"hey baby sis I missed you so much" he said kissing my head
"I missed you too" I replied.
When we pulled apart Micheal grabbed our bags and we made our way to the car. As we drove out I asked Micheal
"how has the pack been all these years since I've been gone?"
"It's been good we haven't had any rogue problems in over a year and our warriors are in top form but all that wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for our alpha" he replied
My heart ached a little at the mention of my mate but I quickly shook it off and continued asking questions then I asked the question I didn't think would be uttered from my mouth
"how's mom and dad?"
Michael stiffened at the mention of our parents then he sighed and relaxed
"dad is good he moved into the pack house a few months ago" he replied
"and mom?" I asked wondering how come he hasn't mentioned her
I saw him stiffened again this time he gripped the steering wheel a bit tighter, he sighed again even louder this time then said
"mom left"
That was it, nothing more, I wanted to ask him more about it but I could tell it was difficult for him to talk about so I let the issue rest and leaned against the window, soon after, I faded into darkness.
"Mom wake up we're here" I heard Alessandro's voice in my head
"am not going to work today Alessandro just take the bus to school" I replied getting ready to go back to sleep
"mom were not in Italy were in California, were at the pack house get up!"
I turned on my side stretching my hands, when they hit something above my head I opened my eyes realizing I wasn't in my bed but in a car I quickly sat up to see Alessandro staring at me with annoyance I was about to ask him what's wrong when everything came rushing back
"we're here?" I asked
"yes! now would you please get out of the car so we can go inside" Alessandro whined
I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. looking around, the place hasn't changed much since I left it was weird; I latched on to Alessandro's arm as we made our way into the pack house it was late in the night so no one was awake. When we reached the living room Michael appeared and beckoned for us to follow him so he could show us to our rooms. Alessandro asked if we could get a room with two beds so he and I could share because he refused to leave me by myself micheal chuckled and nodded thinking it was Alessandro being protective of his mother but I knew it went deeper than that.
Before we left Alessandro made me promise not to go anywhere too far without him while we were here because he was sure someone would recognize me soon enough and try to make trouble. We arrived at our room and micheal bid us a good night before leaving to go to his mate as it was late in the night and he missed her. I unpacked my things from my bag and did my nightly routine which consisted of brushing my teeth and washing my face I also changed into my pajamas, when I exited the bathroom Alessandro was already in bed texting away on his phone I walked over and kissed him on the cheek
"Goodnight mi bambino"(my baby)
"goodnight mom" he said before placing his phone under the pillow and got under the covers.
I wrapped the sheet around me and laid on my back the last thing I remember was closing my eyes before darkness engulfed me.
I woke up to the sun peering through the window I blinked a few times so my eyes could adjust to the lighting of the room when I woke up I realized Alessandro wasn't in the room I focus my hearing to search for him and heard his voice down stairs it sounded like he made a few friends. I got up and went to my closet I took out a gray shorts that reached mid thigh and a gray tank top, I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine then changed into the clothes I picked out. I opened the room door and headed downstairs to get some coffee I am a very grumpy person without my morning coffee, as i reach the final steps of the stairs I smelt the aroma of fresh coffee I followed the scent into the kitchen to see Alessandro standing there with a mug of coffee in his hands he stretched it out to me with a smile
"Buongiorno mamma"(good morning mom) he said as i took the mug from his hand .
"Buongiorno mi bambino" I replied
The kids he was talking to look at us like we just grew two more heads Alessandro laughed and said
"it's our good morning greeting and it's Italian by the way" he said with a smirk
They mouthed a 'oh' before walking away. Alessandro placed a plate with eggs sausage bacon and pancakes in front of me, I pulled up a chair and sat down to have my breakfast; when I reached midway of my meal an intoxicating scent filled my nose a scent that brought my sleeping wolf awake within seconds a scent that brought back memories and feelings, feelings I buried a long time ago feelings only one person could give me and that one person was Ke'shaun Black.
Rosalyn povMy ex-mate walked in only seconds after his scent invaded my nostrils, the moment I saw him a wave of nostalgia and longing took over I wanted to run to him hugged him and tell him how much I missed him but the feeling went as fast as it came. Suddenly a blonde came and attached herself to his arm kissing his cheek, this made my wolf growl in my head I on the other hand just looked the other way. As if he could sense my uneasiness Alessandro stood in front of me in a defensive stance at that moment my mates head snapped in our direction he looked at Alessandro then his gaze fell on me he stared at me for a bit as if trying to figure out where he's seen me before, as soon as realization hit he opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by my brother and Genevieve's entrance."Omg! Rose I can't believe your here" Genevieve screamed as she ran over pulling me into a hug"
Alessandro povI sat in the living room after putting my mom on her bed in our room, uncle micheal and the man I had come to know as Jermaine black my so called father's brother which would make him my uncle sat there talking, from there conversation I heard that I still had grandparents and an aunt who will be visiting the day after tomorrow.I soon tuned them out though because my mind was still on my mom I know your probably wondering what 17 year old worries about his mom that much but I can't help but worry aside from the blood moon pack it has always been just me and my mom against the world and I know she had a horrible childhood so I make it my daily duty to make her smile and feel loved and appreciated.Sometimes though she's just too stubborn I can't believe she went into the woods alone and now she's hurt I know my mom is like super badass I still can't believe she killed two rogues without even shifting but,
Ke'shaun povI laid in my bed as the events of yesterday played over in my head. Rosalyn is back she's also as beautiful as I remember. Also, I can't believe I have a son I knew he was mine the moment I laid eyes on him, i would feel proud except for the fact that he hates me and it's obvious he doesn't want anything to do with this pack either I can't blame him though I did reject his mother and I know I had hurt her all those years ago as well as yesterday I didn't mean to I was just so angry she kept my son from me and I lost control to my wolf.I sighed as I thought about the stuff he said to me he's brave I'll give him that no one threatens an alpha in front of his pack and those stuff he said about taking down other packs before i will remember to look into that later.I rubbed my neck while deep in thought my wounds healed instantly seeing as I'm an alpha and he wasn't applying that much pressure just enough
Micheal's povAs I walked up the stairs to the alpha's office I saw Rosalyn and Alessandro leaving, I am surprised to see them leaving his office I hope no one is bleeding again. Rosalyn smiled when she saw me and pulled me into a hug, when I pulled away I heard her say"Micheal I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Ke'shaun being my mate and Alessandro's father I didn't want you to have any ill will against him as you are the beta of this pack and I knew you would be mad at him""I understand" I replied"Honestly I just wish you would have told me but that is in the past now I'm just glad you guys are ok also, Rosalyn Mr and Mrs black are coming back today I don't know how that will unfold I just thought you should you know"I looked at Alessandro's face to try and get a read off him but it was blank Rosalyn however had countless emotions on her face and I was slowly regretting asking her t
Rosalyn's povAfter Alessandro and I left Ke'shaun's office we ventured to the second floor where Michael told us my father would be, I haven't seen my father in years we've talked over the phone and our relationship is pretty good however I can't help but wonder if deep down he's disappointed in me, after all I did get pregnant at 18 and as bad as the whole situation was with my family and being rejected looking back I should have at least visited once or twice it's not like I had to stay at the pack house my dad still owned our house he just moved to the pack house because it was easier.Micheal couldn't visit us because of his beta duties and dad only came once but that was when Alessandro was a baby. I stopped in front of a room with a double door and knocked twice before I heard a gruff"come in,"I walked into the room with Alessandro close behind me. my dad was in his bed looking pale and sickly,
Rosalyn's pov"Rosalyn will you become the luna of this pack?"When Mrs black asked me that question I just stood there not knowing whether to hyperventilate from shock or to laugh and ask her if she's crazy, I decided on neither and just stood there staring, needless to say I wasn't the only one. Ke'shaun was looking at her as if she grew three heads. After I recovered from my shocked state I turned to see Mrs black looking at me expectantly so I decided to speak my mind."Mrs black""oh please dear call me judith""Ok Judith listen if you had asked me that question 17 years ago I probably would have jumped for joy and accepted your request but I won't become Luna of this pack firstly, because I'm no longer a member of this pack and I don't plan on rejoining any time soon I'm just here for my family nothing else, and secondly, your son rejected me all those years ago and I always
Jermaine's povWhen I heard my mom ask Rosalyn if she would become the luna for our pack my heart sank because i thought she would say yes and even though I know it's wrong, when she refused I had almost burst with happiness.My brother is an idiot how could he reject someone so beautiful and obviously strong. I was so pissed at him and that bitch amber because of how they spoke to her so, when she left and headed for the woods I quickly grabbed some clothes from the spares we keep for putting in trees for when we shift in the woods. I called out to her as she was entering the forest, her wolf is pure white and absolutely breathtaking. She turned around when she heard me calling and sat in the grass waiting for me to catch up, I handed her the clothes and she seemed to catch my drift because she immediately took them and went behind a tree to change.When she came from behind the tree my heart skipped about four be
Alessandro's povI don't know how much more of this I can take I'm officially at my wits end with these people, I know for a fact that if I don't leave soon I'll kill them all. I'm currently committing deforestation in the woods just to loose all this anger I have. That damn alpha whom I refuse to call my father is tempting me and doesn't realize he's playing with fire.He had the nerve to reject my mother twice and that infuriating old man acting like he's all mighty and king of the world, talking about my mom isn't worthy to be his son's mate when they are the ones who aren't worthy of my mom. she is literally the strongest person I know she is my rock and I don't know what I'd do without her, which is why I refuse to let anyone hurt her however, I can't touch anyone here because I know mom wouldn't like me snapping these people's necks one by one. I was about to drop my twentieth tree when my grandfather's voice popped up in my head
