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
Ambers pov "Is Brian not your mate? Why aren’t you marked?" Off all the things that have happened, this is what Axels worried about right now? I wanted to tell him before, but our first conversation together had been weird and ended very abruptly. He told me in his note left inside my locker that I could never be his Luna and he was right then and right now. "No he’s not," Ripley said, "you are special. You would make a great Luna. Don’t be so hard on yourself." "I am sorry. You assumed Brian was my mate and Elias was his and I didn’t want to say otherwise, because I didn’t want to force anything on you. If you had found out about Elias and knew I had no mate you’d might feel obligated to uhm.. I mean you would try to do the honorable thing perhaps." Ugh I wasn’t explaining this right. Ridley wasn’t helping at all, trying to tell me I could be Luna and messing with my head. "What I’m trying to say is, no we are not mates. Brian lost his mate a few months before we left the pack.
Ambers pov: We left early in the morning, to avoid anyone seeing us. Axel gave Elias a hug, Brian a handshake and then turned to me. He looked sad, but I went in for a hug anyway. I needed to feel his touch, even if it might be the last time. Five years ago we didn’t have a proper goodbye and last week he went away so quickly to deal with the attack. I hugged him and secretly sniffed his scent. He had been so distant the last few days, except for the time he asked about my mark. I had hoped founding out I wasn’t in a relationship with Brian would rekindle some of the old love we shared. But I was wrong. He was merely the father of Elias now and my ex boyfriend, nothing more. "But he is taking his time with this hug," Ripley said. I pulled back from the hug. "Thank you for everything, I will see you next month. I hope you’ll find Mofran and his men soon," I said to Axel, ignoring Ripley's words. He had felt so good, his tall muscular body against mine. Hugging him felt like I was
Ambers pov The next morning people started coming by our house to bring condolences and food. Casandra came over to help me greet everyone and take care of Elias. The pain of losing Brian was so much, I couldn’t even imagine how bad it would hurt to lose your mate. No wonder Brian was so depressed. But Elias needed me and I needed to keep busy so I wouldn’t crumble. Brian had not been my boyfriend, but he had been a friend and a partner in raising Elias. I often complained to Casandra, that I felt like a single mother, when Brian would be gone drinking, but actually being without him was awful. Everyone kept reminding me we would be okay, that time heals and that Brian was in a better place. It honestly sounded like something you found on a condolence card. Ripley said, "they are trying. Just take it one day at a day. It hurts like bitch now, but it really does get less with time. And Elias is young, they’re really resilient at this age. Just make sure he has a safe space to cry
Axel’s pov I never really liked Brian, I respected him for being there for Amber and Elias. But I felt jealous of him and I thought Elias deserved more for a father. But hearing him say those words to me at our last dinner, changed something for me. He was really trying and he cared so much for Elias. I had heard the news of his death from one of my men who was driving Amber home. He had also shared the details of the fight between Amber and Mofran’s men. If you could call it a fight, it sounded more like a massacre. I didn’t realize Amber was that strong or could do those things with moonlight. I was amazed by her and so proud she had protected Elias so well. And I would thank the Goddess every day for Brian being there to stop Mofran. But all my feelings right now didn’t matter. Amber had asked me to come to the funeral for Elias. I hoped they both will be okay, they’re strong but this will take some time. Tomorrow I will head out there, Mofran’s capture will likely mean the end
