Derek POV
I try to run after her but Dean stops me, “I don’t think it’s wise to go after her now, she is angry and you are hurt, talking in this state will only make things worse, but look at the bright side” is he fucking with me now, what bright side? My mate almost had a heart attack and ran the other way upon learning I’m her mate.
“And what is that Dean? Did you see her reaction” I say trying to go past him but he stops me again
“Stop, and give her little time to process the news. And the bright side is that she obviously know about us and what we are so we don’t have to go through the whole werewolves are real and no we are not going to eat you bullshit” … how stupid is he? Didn’t he see how she turned pale and ran the other way?
“But from her reaction dumbass that’s exactly what she thinks we are... so it’s even going to be harder to convince her that we are not actually going to eat her or hurt her or whatever bad experience she had with werewolves, is going to be different with us” … I start taking deep breathes to calm myself down, I can’t believe this is happening.
Yes, I expected her to be surprised, shocked even, think we are crazy, anything but this; this is turning from bad to worse.
She knows about us… that should be good news and make things easier but of course not, it’s just my luck, when did I have anything easy, why did I expect this to be any different but I have to keep it together if I want this to work… maybe there still hope.
After I’m calm enough I agree with Dean to give her little time before I go after her.
I can’t attend the meeting now so we decided to cancel it but before we leave we get her address and number from Mr. Simon who was so eager to please us that he gave us employee private information with no questions asked which means he’s not someone to be trusted and this whole company is a joke.
“We are pulling our account from this company and she is not stepping a foot in this building gain” I inform Dean “You got that right, they have no concept of privacy, what if someone with a bigger account asked for our information?” Dean said.
“We’ll just kill them or torture them or whatever” I said shrugging.
”Sureee, you are defiantly calm now” Dean says sarcastically so I gave him a warning growl, I was in no mood to be mocked or for jokes.
“Okay, okay I was just trying to lighten the mood” he says raising one hand in surrender as we park in-front of my mate’s apartment building.
I’ll give her the time that she needs but I’ll keep an eye on her as long as I can, it seems to be the only thing to calm Rex, my wolf, down.
Alexandria POV
“Luna? What? how? how can this happen again? What does the moon goddess want with me? Didn’t she screw my life enough? And now I’m not just mated to a regular werewolf but a fucking alpha? What’s wrong with her?” All this thoughts running through my mind as I was rushing home.
I contemplated wither or not I should contact max on my way home that I need to relocate but decided I will inform him when I settle i just need to get away from here as far as possible.
Max is my childhood best friend, more like a brother; he is a couple of years younger than me and used to follow me around when we were kids.
There was a time when we were teenagers when we tried to date thinking there was something more between us but it just confirmed that we are more like siblings than anything else.
We’ve been inseparable since I can remember, that’s until I married Luke and moved away, I trust him with my life and he is the one who saved me and helped keep me hidden the past three years.
I reach my apartment which is more like a studio, nothing separating the bed and the closet from the rest of the studio but a white almost transparent curtain working as a room divider, i head straight to my closet take out my duffle bag and start packing the few things that I have.
I’ll stay at a motel for tonight till I figure out what to do next I just can’t stay here a minute longer.
If you think werewolves are possessive you haven’t met an alpha werewolf. He won’t let me go, ever. I have to hide from him too or it will happen all over again.
I change into pair of jeans with black t-shirt and an oversized hoodie on top.
I like oversized comfy cloth plus it’s less likely to draw attention than if I was wearing fitting cloth.
I carry my bag and take one last look to see if I forgot anything... I’m actually going to miss this place... and as I turn to head out of the door it burst open with Derek on top of a man crashing to the floor taking the door with them and Derek growling fiercely that I actually jumped back with fear and it’s very difficult to scare me, it’s not the first time I hear an alphas growl, hell I even heard several while they were battling to death and it never sounded that scary, he was something else.
As I was just starting to register what was happening the window behind me crashes too but this time its Dean rolling to the ground with another man. What the hell is happening here?
Derek POV
It was just few minutes since we parked when I smelled it… Rogues!
What are they doing here? “They want to hurt mate” Rex growls in my head.
I look at Dean and he smells it too. We are both on high alert and rush out of the car and start following their sent.
"What the hell is going on here?" i Say to myself more that to dean getting agitated.
"I don't know but we are about to find out... it’s been a while since we had that kind of fun" he says smirking.
"Dean, this is not like the other times, you need to focus" I growl at him, I’m already on edge.
"I know what’s at stake here, I’m all in alpha, don’t worry" deans reassures me and we go our separate ways.
I catch more than one sent going into the building while Dean follows another one around the building.
I rush to the staircase as I follow what I figured is two rogues. I look up and I can see them now, they are fast but I’m an alpha they are no match.
I catch up to them as they enter the fourth floor... Her floor!
I see one of them pulling out a knife heading towards a door, I can smell her sent very strong here, it’s her door and all I feel is rage as Rex takes over.
we rip the head of one of them as the one with the knife runs toward her door but we catch up to him, as the rogue turns swinging the knife at our face we dash it and grab his throat pushing him through the door and to the floor while Rex lets out a growl full of rage and menace.
How dare this filth think of hurting our mate? I hear crushing glass at my left and instantly look up searching with my eyes for my mate to make sure she is okay.
I see her standing with a scared expression which then turns to confusion as she is now looking at Dean who is fighting another rogue and actually losing, it all happened so fast and before I could react she does the stupidest thing she could ever do.
Derek POV“You son of bitch” Alexandria yells at me“You call yourself the alpha slayer?” Alexandria continue her scolding “No, I don’t call myself that…people call me that” I answer smirking which seems to enrage her even more “I don’t care what you are called, you are still a coward” Alexandria screams at me, okay, now she is taking it too far, as she usually does, and I won’t take it“Listen here mate, call me whatever names you want to call me, I’m still not going to do it, and I hate to sound like a dick, but that’s what the omegas are for” I say firmly “So you are still not going to do it… you are backing out of this?” she says with a fake disappointed look“I’m not backing out of anything since I’m not the one who volunteered in the first place” I say throwing my hands in the air.“It doesn’t matter we are in it together, you are supposed to have my back” she starts yelling again “Love, I’ll always have your back, but I’m not changing that stinky diaper” I say trying to cal
Three years agoAdam POVI was sitting in the office with Max discussing something unimportant or maybe it was then Carter comes rushing in without even knocking“We found her” Carter says with a glint in his eyes, he always had a thing for my Lexi and he actually thought he might have a chance in being the one I’d marry her off to,Don’t get me wrong, carter is smart and ambitious but he is one of the weaker lineages , I had much bigger plans for her than just another pure hunter,. Mason Venatores , Max’s older brother, they’re the only other family as strong as ours, they will have the strongest offspring, unfortunately the fool only sees her as a little sister like he says, Max is the one following her like a lost puppy but he doesn’t have a say in this neither do Lexi.“Let’s go get her back then” I say standing up and getting ready to leave the office“We already have the pack surrounded, we think the whole pack is in on it” carter says following me as do Max,All the way to the
Alexandria POV It’s been a couple of days since the guardians’ ball, Sophia is getting released from the hospital today , Derek still refuses to read the letter his mother left , I don’t know if it’s denial or is he mad at her for leaving them yet again.Dean on the other hand, is taking it harder than I anticipated, he never showed any emotions for the woman or that he cared about her, it was quite the opposite, but now, I guess he feels sorry for her, for what she’s been through, maybe the letter made him understand her more… and eventually forgive her.As for Dylan, he didn’t leave Louis’s cell until the day after, there were hardly anything for us to bury, not that it mattered anyway, Derek ordered for his remains to be scattered somewhere far away outside the pack borders for vultures to feed on… fitting end if you ask me.The pack is somewhat accepting me, it’s either because I’m the guardians’ sister or because I defended them during the attack, or maybe both, I don’t care as
warning, the following might be triggering to some, please be careful Elizabeth POVPain… all I feel is pain, like my heart is being ripped out of my chest, my neck is burning like someone poured acid on it, one moment I was sitting in our house’s basement till the attack is over, the second I was curled on the floor screaming , what is happening?“He is marking another” my wolf says whimpering, no, not after all what I did for him, it can’t be true.The pain somehow gets even worse, my vision is blurring and I can hardly breath, is this how I die? Alone in a basement betrayed by my mate. I faintly hear the basement’s door break “Luna Elizabeth, it’s okay, the beta sent us for you” is the last thing I hear before the pain takes over me and I go unconscious - “Wake up, it’s okay, the pain is gone”“What do you mean? How?”“I don’t know but it just did”“What the hell is going on?” I hear Derek shouting from across the hall and I open my eyes“ANSWER ME” I hear Derek command and I j
Derek POV“They are my brothers” My mate answers“The guardians are hunters?” Dean asks stunned“Yes, we are the shunned ones” both guardians answer simultaneously in a very haunting way and i could swear that their grey eyes glowed a little “I thought you said your twin brothers were dead” I ask narrowing my eyes … she turns to face me again still in my arms, yes, I’m literally not letting her go again.“no, I said we lost my brothers, never said they were dead” she says, avoiding my gaze“The guardians are our Luna’s brothers, how special” one of the pack members says too excited for the situation we are in“If the guardians are hunters and they are the Luna’s brothers… does that mean the Luna is a hunter?” another one asksI feel Alexandria’s hand tighten on my arm, I look at her and she looks like she is about to faint“Let’s get you back to the hospital love” I tell her as I pick her up bridal style“We’ll take her” guardian … let’s call him guardian 1 says“We’ll make sure she
Alexandria POVI wake up by the river shore, the beautiful spot where Derek took me before the rejection, wait… the last time something like that happened I saw Luke, am I going to see him again? But this is me and Derek’s special place … or it was meant to be at least, why am I meeting Luke in Derek’s place, or am I meeting Derek? Does that mean Derek is… no, no, that’s not right, I was the one who got hurt… does this mean that I’m the dead one?“Well fuck you Moon goddess for giving me everything and just ripping it away” I start yelling out loud to the open space hoping the bitch can hear me“You are a sick asshole, you know that?... tormenting your children as you call them, giving them hope and love then just like that… it all disappears… you are a cold fucking bitch” I keep yelling“You do have a filthy mouth child” What the fuck? Who said that? Then a woman appears from … I really don’t know, she just appearedHer skin is the color of the midnight sky, her hair is the color of
