Promised to the Alphaย ย ย CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
I wait at the temple for a few days for Zade to return. He doesnโt though. I think I knew once I saw he was gone that he wasnโt coming back. Thatโs a little terrifying. Iโm proud of the progress Iโve made. I feel like Iโve come far. But I know thereโs so much more to learn. I learned that from Zade. Thereโs always more to learn. I want him to teach me forever.But my time here is over. I can probably rest here for as long as I want. I could probably wait for another person to come along and be their mentor.Maybe Iโll do that someday. I can foresee Caleb and I coming back here, leaving in peace, mentoring people and dealing with the upkeep of the temple.For now though, I have a mission. I need to get answers. I need to figure out where Iโm from, who I am, and where Iโm supposed to go from here.I do feel like I have important things to do. I have these power for a reason. Iโm supposed to use it. Iโm supposed to wield it wisely. I think thereโs something I must change.I need to

Killing people affects me more than before. I guess thatโs the tradeoff for having such power. When Iโm in tune with the life around me, I mourn that life when itโs gone. I see beyond monsters and see the souls within.They were going to kill me though. And if theyโre going to kill me I have every right to kill them. Even Zade didnโt disagree with that.So, I make sure nature wasnโt impacted too greatly. Then, I take time to bury the bodies. It makes me lose some progress. I know Iโm losing at least a day over this fight, but I canโt just leave their corpses lying in the forest like this. Maybe thatโs what I would do before, but not now. Now, I dig a hole for each of them. I bury them near each other. Then, I continue on my journey.Though it has taken me extra time, I do feel good about my decision. It seems more natural this way. I get to keep a bit of my soul too.By the time I near my old pack, I feel like maybe I can get the answers I need without all the bloodshed. Thatโs w

I never thought Iโd be doing this, but I know I have to do it. I have to keep Nicole safe. I have to get revenge.This isnโt the kind of person I am, but itโs the kind of person I have to be for her. Iโll be anything I need to be for her. Iโll be anything she needs.Itโs not always easy navigating the forest while blind. But Iโve learned how to adjust. My sense of smell, touch, and hearing have become stronger since theyโre exclusively what I use to navigate this world with.So, I rely on them as I run. I tear through the trees, using Nicole as my inspiration. I can do this. I can fix this for her.I suspect the next place Lizzie will go is to Nicole. But Iโm not too sure where Nicole is. Though I have my guesses.The thing is, I donโt think I exactly need to know where she is. Thereโs something between us thatโs stronger than all other barriers. It helps us. It drives me forward.Itโs a strange connection. And Iโm not sure if Iโm making this up or not. But itโs all I have to hel

I know Nicole is close by, so I follow that sense. And slowly, I make my way around the packโs territory. Wolves are patrolling the area. Everyone seems on edge. I know something has already happened here, so itโs going to be more difficult to infiltrate it. Still, I get the sense that Nicole needs me. I have this feeling that sheโs not safe. And I have to trust that instinct. I have to do what I can to keep her safe.A wolf walks by me and I freeze in the shadows. Heโs so close that he could reach out and engage me in a fight easily. But I donโt want to fight. I just want to find her. So, I hide and he disappears into the night. Then, I keep looking until finally, I come across a silver cage. My heart breaks as I see Nicole crying in it.I want to go right to her. I want to reassure her that everything will be okay; I will get her out of this mess. But I have to be careful. I have to be cunning.Instead of going right to her, I scan the area. Sheโs locked in this cage, and th

I look down at the Alpha as Iโm awash with conflicting emotions. I want to get revenge on the person who imprisoned my love. I know I have enough strength to kill him, and after everything, Iโm mad at everyone in a way I never have been before.Confidence assures me that I donโt need his help. I can lead a pack without him. I can be the best Alpha without him.And yet, I suspect his help wouldnโt hurt. It could be good to have a guide, a mentor. And it would be great if the pack just accepted me without me having to use a lot of force. I certainly donโt want to get on their bad side.I want this transition to go smoothly. I want peace. I want to be with the one I love freely.As I question what I should do, I notice that the wolf pack has gathered around us. They all saw the fight. Theyโll see what I choose. This will shape their opinion on me forever.โOkay,โ I say, slowly releasing the Alpha. โIโll let you go because itโs beneficial and wise to show mercy sometimes. But know tha

"Nicole, did you hear?" Shelby asks me."Hear what?" I ask."About the new alpha," she says. I stare at her, confused."What do you mean 'new alpha'?" I ask."There's a new alpha coming to visit," Shelby says. "One from a neighboring pack.""That's odd," I say. I'm not sure we've ever had a visit from another pack's alpha."I don't know what to make of it," Shelby says."Me either," I reply."I have to go help my mom," Shelby says. "See you tonight?""Of course," I say."I'll let you know if I hear anything else," she says, and then she turns and walks down the path toward her house.I stare after her. I'm not sure why, but this news about the new alphas visit makes me feel very uneasy. I don't have to be anywhere for hours, so I decide to go for a walk to clear my head. I walk through the woods behind my house, admiring the tall, strong trees. It's a sunny day, so the sun shines through the trees, making the leaves sparkle with life.I reach the clearing near the o

I feel dizzy. I don't know what to think. I don't know what to feel.This wolf just appeared out of nowhere and told me a bunch of stuff that makes no sense. I don't know if I believe him.But at the same time, something about it feels so real. I can't explain it. I just... I get the feeling that he's telling the truth.I feel like I'm missing something, but I have no idea what.I decide to go home and try to forget about it for now. I'm sure that I'll figure it out eventually.I walk home and cross my fingers that my mom is done with her preparations for the evening ahead.I walk into the kitchen and see my mom is cutting up vegetables for a salad.I go to the refrigerator and grab a bottle of water, then go to the table to sit down.Mom sits the knife down on the cutting board and turns to me."Where were you?" she asks."I went for a walk," I say."I've been looking all over for you," she says."You should really let me know where you are," she says.She picks her knife

The rest of the dinner party is uneventful. The guests do their best to try to engage me in conversation, but I keep to myself as much as possible. I'm worried that I might say something that reveals the secrets I'm holding inside.I'm also worried that I might slip and just lose it. If my emotions were ever going to come back to the surface, I'm sure it would be tonight. I'm on edge, more than I can remember ever being.I'm barely able to keep it together around the guests. I'm sure other members of the pack have noticed. But they don't know what to say to me. Nobody does.After a couple of hours, everyone leaves, and I excuse myself to go upstairs to bed. Falling asleep is a struggle. I cannot stop thinking about the prophecy.When I do finally manage to drift off, I dream of the new alpha.He's walking toward me with a look of kindness on his face. He extends his hand and helps me off the ground. But as I get to my feet, I realize that I'm standing on the edge of a cliff. I'm

In the end, it comes down to what I think Nicole would want. I respect her so much as a person, that I know Iโd have to let her decide. Would she rather be safe? Or would she rather have the chance to be with me? As her mate, I have to know the right answer. We naturally know each other better than anyone else could. I can think with her mind. Sheโs within my heart.Furthermore, I spent enough time with her to know her. I know how strong she is, feisty, passionate, and loving. I know how much she wants to be with me. I know how much I want to be with her.โIโm sorry,โ I say. โI would do anything to keep the people I love safe. Almost anything anyway. But I wonโt give up my mate.โI just hope that you see that this isnโt the right way to be with someone. You should want someone to be with you just because you blackmailed them into doing so. You shouldnโt wield your magic over someone you claim to love.โYou should want to be with someone who is with you of their own freewill. So

I think of Nicole every single day. I havenโt stopped thinking about her since the day we met. But finding Lizzieโs mate has been impossible. I guess I just canโt do it since Iโm not here. Thereโs no way of knowing who he is. Thereโs no way to get her to release me.So, I stay on my own. I do still have family I could go to. I have aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who I miss. But itโs too dangerous to go to them, so I found a new hut on the countryside and I stay here.As I start a fire for the night, Iโm reminded of my old cabin and all the memories Nicole and I made in it. I miss the cabin. I miss the memories. It had become my home and I loved it. But mostly, I miss her.Nicole. I want to see her again more than anything. But I know that if I go to her, Iโll be putting her at risk. So, I canโt. I must stay away from her and hope sheโs doing well. I hope sheโs making progress on her quest.If only I could make more progress on mine. Iโm sure sheโs doing amazing, and tha

It seems like everything else comes easier to me. I have block, attack, use magic, I can do all the things. But working through my anger is more difficult. Getting past the hurt of what happened with Gavin is tougher.โI donโt understand why I have to do this before I get my shield,โ I say, slumped on the ground in the rock garden. โItโs not fair.โโWhat about it isnโt fair?โ Zade asks, never one to just accept what I say.โWell, Iโll never have to face the alpha,โ I reply. โNot ever again. Heโs dead. So, my anger over that doesnโt matter. I can desire revenge against him. Iโll never get it.โโBut what about your anger towards others?โ Zade reminds me. โThere are other people you wish to get revenge on, is there not?โMy cheeks turn red under this accusation. Itโs true, but how does he know itโs true? I tried to keep that side from him. He was never supposed to know that I still desire revenge like that. I know he wouldnโt approve of it if he did know.โYou canโt keep things from

I walk up each morning as the sun rises now. I donโt need an alarm clock. It happens naturally. I leave my shades open, the sun touches me, and I feel refreshed.In the past few months, Iโve rarely felt sleepy because I listen to my body. I eat when Iโm hungry, drink when Iโm thirsty, sleep when Iโm tired, and Iโve fallen into a sort of rhythm. Iโm naturally in tune with the world around me, and itโs the best feeling.โI feel like my power has really grown here,โ I say, as I join Zade in the garden. Work in the garden started for me a few days after I got here. Zade told me that if I wanted to eat, I needed to help grow and catch the food. So, now I stand in the rich dirt. I pick the plump produce, feel it weigh heavy in my hands.โI think thereโs something about truly being one with the world that has given it the space to grow,โ I continue. โAnd I mean my body as well as my magic. Everything about me feels better, more alive, and more useful.โโIโve noticed the change in you as
