Chapter 5 special place

Wiping the tears from my eyes as I fly makes everything else feel so real. Who does he think he is? To tell me I’m not strong enough!? Landing on the ground, I walk listening to the crunch of the leaves under my feet. I come here when the world doesn’t seem to understand me. Which is pretty often. It’s the most beautiful part of our territory. My dad said he built it when I was a little girl for me to be able to release my wings and learn how to fly one day. But once I got my wings he was too busy to teach me anything, so now I just come here by myself. Sitting on the big rock by a tree I look out to the field covered in daisies and wildflowers, there’s also a little lake to the right that has a waterfall. My father said he chose this place because when he showed me it for the first time he never saw my face light up so bright. It’s such a beautiful sight to see, being here makes it easy to forget the rest of the world. I’m not like other she- wolves and they all know it that’s why they pick on me and make me feel less than myself. Having wings is nothing but a blessing and a curse. My eyes blow bright white when I’m mad and sometimes I can’t control it, I black out and hurt the people I love. My mother told me when I was just a baby that my eyes glowed bright all the time. I never left the pack walls. Everyone in it knew about my eyes and promised to keep an eye on me when I was out and about by myself. My grandma Ameila always tells me “ with great power comes great destruction” when I was a baby I was born with powers no one had ever seen before, I didn’t need my wings like mom did or turn a certain age. I still have the gifts of a wolf as well but the power inside me only makes it hard for me to make it through the day without being told how to be or what I’m supposed to do. When I was 9 my brother made me so angry. I unleashed all my powers on him. Putting him into a coma, I felt horrible. I stayed by his side while they tried to wake him up. They said the amount of strength I have could end the whole world if I’m not careful. Grandma said he would be fine that he was just sleeping, with him having angel blood it didn’t affect him as much as it would have on a human or a full  wolf but the power was too much for his body to control so a coma was it’s only way out. Ever since then my father made sure I left it to my grandmas every summer and practiced controlling it. 

And I have a hold on it enough not to hurt anyone but myself. My wings still come out as you see me going off on Alpha Erik but the pain that I could bring down on anyone i use it against myself instead and that is why I come here to release it into the lack. I can only control it for so long so I use this place so I never have to hurt anyone again. The lack just absorbs my power, with it being charmed by the angel goddess at my mothers request none of it can escape or be transferred to anyone. I’m such a freak!!! 

Being who I am is so cool till someone gets too close. 

Walking over to the lack, I let every emotion, every negative thought wash over me till everything turns white. 

Erik POV

Okay I’ll admit her glowing eyes did scare me a bit but that’s about it !! Maybe she is stronger than I thought but where did she run off too. 

“ don’t worry about her Alpha Erik, she just needs to blow off some steam.” Alpha Luca says to me 

“ where?” I asked 

“ That I can’t tell you.” 

“ Is she going to be okay?” 

“ yeah she will be. Would you like to stay till she gets back? She's usually gone all day.” He requested 

All day? Does he not worry about her when she runs off like that!? When he’s wife was kidnapped and almost killed over who she is! 

“ That would be lovely, thank you!” I respond with a nod we head inside 

“ So how long did her eyes do that?” 

“ since the day she was born” 

“ wow really?” 

“ Why can’t I get ahold of our daughter? What did you do?” Luna Alice barges in the kitchen yelling 

“ She's fine, Alice, she just wants to go to her special place.” He explained 

“ Who pissed her off this time? Can you give her a break? Sometimes, you know she can’t control her anger!” She barks 

“ It was me. I think I made her mad when I told her she could be stronger, with some extra training.” I admitted 

She stared right into my soul the moment those words left my lips, Okay maybe I am scared of someone.

“ She's always been a hot head.” She sighed sitting down next to Alpha Luca 

“ We can't tell you much about Briella, it's her place to tell you, but all I can say is you need to be patient with her.” She said with a soft voice 

The kitchen door swings open and two teenagers walk in.

“ We have been summoned to her special place, can we have your permission to go help her?” The girl asked 

“ Yes you have our permission but do try to bring her back sooner than midnight this time?” 

“ Who's the boy?” I growled

“ these are Briella’s best friends.” Alpha Luca explains 

They walk past the table and towards the back door 

“ The boy stays, the girl can go.” I groaned 

“ Excuse me? I’m her best friend and I'm going to help her.” He huffs a growl releases from my lips and I stand up from my spot not taking eyes off him 

“ you will not come close to my mate when I’m not around, you will sit here next to me till she returns.” I command 

“ Alpha Erik the boy means no harm! But do as he says” glad Alpha Luca knows how to make the right decision 

“ what??? This is ridiculous!” The boy argues under his breath sitting down next to me 

Looking over to the girl she looks terrified but instead of questioning me she walks out without a word.
