Poor Axel. He didn't have a choice.
Chapter nine: Amber’s pov: "Amber?! Is that you?" Alpha Axel asked, a shocked look across his face. "I’m so sorry to bother you, I will leave you alone. I know you don’t want any contact, so I will head home now Alpha Axel," I mumbled very quickly and almost ran to my house. Leaving a stunned Alpha standing there. I knew I could have handled this better. It was kind of low to mention his last note. Five years had gone by, he probably had enough to deal with without worrying about me. I made myself some chamomile tea to calm my nerves and help me sleep when I heard a knock on the door. Before I could open it I saw a note being slipped under the door. I picked up the note and carefully read each word: "Amber, would you be willing to meet me for lunch tomorrow at the packhouse? A." Axels point of view: I slipped the note under the door and quickly left. I noticed she had a swing on the right side of her garden and lots of vegetables and flowers on the left side. I planned on aski
Amber’s pov I didn’t sleep well, tossing and turning in bed. I had read the note so often I had memorized every word. When I woke up I took a shower and headed to Cassandra’s house. Elias was so happy to see me, he was hugging me and jumping around. I had missed him too, even if it was just for two nights. I asked Cassandra if she could come over in a bit, because I needed her advice. Elias was on the swings, while we sat on the bench outside. I told Casandra of the note and what had happened last night. "I think you should give him a chance. He might have changed. He’s an Alpha now, so he might just want to make sure there are no hard feelings about the past. Or perhaps he has questions about why you left, you told us you didn’t tell anyone that you were leaving and where you were headed right?" Casandra always had a way of calming me down and asking the right questions. I explained, " I just don’t want him to feel obligated to have me be a part of his life, because of Elias. He
Axels pov The meeting went great. I shared my plans with Alpha Drake and he seemed really surprised. "You're really nothing like your father are you? I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but that man didn't have a kind bone in his body. I was surprised he was killed by a rogue, because what he lacked in kindness he gained in ruthlessness." Alpha Drake was right, my father was a strong and ruthless bastard. I explained, "the rogue used a silver blade laced with wolfsbane." I saw the look on Alpha Drakes face, a face of pain mixed with relief. "I hated the bastard, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Wolfsbane hurts like a bitch. It does feel a bit like karma though, wasn't he known for carving up traitors and rogues with a silver blade?" I quickly changed the subject, I did not want to think about my father to much. "I am glad you feel this way about me, I can use all the help I can get. Some of the old guards aren't happy with my chances and I have been feeling some resistan
Axel pov Elias did look like me, that much was true. He had my eyes and my hair color, but had a darker complexion than I have. He reminded me of myself when I was that age. I could see Alpha Drake staring at us, looking very nervous. When I took a good look at the boy I could see someone else, his curls and the dimple in his cheek. The shape of his mouth and his button nose. He might have gotten his eyes from me and he had my build. But I could still see Ambers features shine through. I couldn't leave the boy hanging, the boy, my boy, my son. I tried to calm down and said, "hi Elias, it's nice to meet you. I will have to talk with your mother first, but I think you might be right." Almost no-one else had witness our conversations, most were still busy sparring. I could see Alpha Drake getting more nervous by the minute and Beta Logan was looking at me and Elias and back at me, trying to make sense of the situation. I needed time to think, to deal with the mind blowing revelation
Ambers pov Alpha Drake mindlinked me during work that I should meet him at school as soon as possible, but not to draw attention. I quickly left work and walked towards the school in a fast pace, my wolf and I really wanted to shift and run towards the school, but that wouldn’t really be low key. Alpha Drake stood near the school gate looking very serious and a bit scared. I hoped Elias was okay, he would have said something if he wasn’t okay right? "Hi Alpha Drake, I came as soon as a could. What happened?’ I asked as politely as possible, while my wolf wanting to tear the whole school down in search of my son. "I tried my best to hide him, I even skipped the younger kids training, session, how could I have known Gamma Rayne would switch thing around. Especially today," Alpha Drake started rambling. This was the first time I’ve ever seen my Alpha this nervous. "Just tell me please, is Elias okay?' I asked almost in tears. He realized I thought Elias was hurt or worse and calme
Ambers pov I woke up and quickly ran towards Elias bedroom shouting his name. Brian was still knocked out, I saw on the clock it was two hours later. Wolfbane usually keeps you knocked out for at least sex hours, perhaps my special wolf was to thank for my quick recovery. Elias' room seemed empty, but there were no signs of a struggle. They must have used the gas on him too. I couldn’t think straight. There was a knock on the door and when I opened it, one of the omegas that worked at the packhouse stood there. "I have a note from Alpha Axel for you" she said, gave it to me and left Axel didn’t do this right? He wouldn’t just kidnap his son. I did lie and kept his son from him for five years. But he said he would talk to us first. He wouldn’t do this right?! I was panicking, trying to calm myself down enough to stop shaking and read the note. "Hi Amber, there was an attack at my pack.I will try to come back as soon as things calm down here.We have a lot to talk about, I am not
Chapter fifteen: Axels pov "I know you want to rip my head off right now, but we have your son. If you ever want to see him again you let me walk out of your office right now. I will be back soon enough with our demands," Mofran said while looking at me like he had already won. I picked him up and shoved him again the wall, almost choking him. "Why would I believe a word you say?!" I growled. How did he even know I had a son, I didn’t even know until yesterday. At that moment my phone started ringing. "I’d pick up if I were you..." Mofran teased. With one hand I held on to Mofrans throat, with the other I grabbed my phone. The phone call confirmed what Mofran had said, Elias was taken. What Mofran didn’t realize was that Amber had gone after them already. I wasn’t going to make her chances of finding Elias any smaller by mentioning this. I slowly put Mofran down. He said,"you’ll be hearing from us." Before he walked out the door. It had already been a few hours since he was ta
Ambers pov: "Thank the Goddess your daughter was stupid enough to come to you. Let’s get the boy to safety before Axel can find him,"I heard one of the men say. I look at my parents, my mother just looks away. My father said, "I always thought you were a disappointment, a mistake. Especially when we found out you were pregnant, it only proved what we already knew. But when Alpha Axel came by looking for you, he seemed way too invested in some classmate of him. We knew he had to be the father. We honestly thought you had died. Imagine our surprise you were still alive and had a son who was the spitting image of Alpha Axel. Finally you were good for something." I got so angry I spit in his face. My wolf almost took over, I tried to calm her by thinking of Elias who was standing next to me holding my hand. The guy in the suit came between me and my father. He looked at me and said, "you’d better behave, we only need your son. You wouldn’t want him to see you get hurt right?" I would
