Chapter 6- Knock out

"It's okay. I did them myself ." A proud smile stretched Aleena's face as she twirled around showing off her work.

"They look beautiful," Sarah chuckled before placing a kiss on her head. She slowly and cautiously moves her hands towards her daughter's hair in an attempt to make it a little neater.

Aleena suddenly dropped to the floor and crawled away. "What are you doing?" She yelled. "You're ruining it!"

"Sweetie, it looks like you spun around in the laundry dryer."

"But I like it!"

"If you really like it like that then you can keep it." Sarah turned and started to walk away before adding: "if you want to meet the guest, they are in the cave."

Sarah made it out into the hallway with a smile on her face. She paused and waited for Aleena to come running out to ask her to redo the braids. She turned to face the door counting down when something tapped her shoulder.

"Sarah?" A very familiar voice asked. "Sarah."

She turned around with her teeth bared. "Legolas," she growled.

As Sarah turned around,fear and guilt replaced the relief Legolas felt when he first identified his mate. Large scars ran down half of Sarah's face and Legolas vaguely remembered swiping her with his claws. "Did I do that?" He asked softly as he moved to touch it, losing all train of thought.

Sarah snared at his hand, ready to snap off his fingers with her teeth. "Touch me again and you'll lose you a limb," she threatened, hoping to God that Aleena doesn't choose this moment to ask her to redo her hair.

"But-" Legolas started Sarah 's worst nightmare at that moment.

"Mommy, can you do my hair?" Aleena ran out of the kitchen expecting to find her mother at the end of the ha but Instead barrelled into her. She moved around her mother to see who the strange man was that made her mother tense.

Sarah grabbed her daughter and hid her behind her back when she realized what she was doing.

"Who is that?" Legolas asked.

"None of your business," Sarah aggressively answered Legolas.

"Is she mine?" Legolas asked with a small smile. He had a daughter. He'd always wanted a daughter. And here she was standing in front of her. If she was his daughter. She looked around the right age.

Before Sarah could reply, she punched him as hard as she could. This resulted in him stumbling backwards, tripping and hitting his head against the wall. Legolas stood back up, clutching his head swaying back and front. He lifted his eyes up to look at Sarah before passing out.

"Mommy! You killed him!" Aleena yelled , rushing forward to check his breathing.

Sarah grabbed Aleena's arm and swung her around so that her daughter ran in a circle. She didn't need her daughter to know about her past or the father yet. It didn't feel like a good time when Sarah was still scared that he could hurt her worse than before. 

"He's fine, sweetie." She told her daughter while mind linking Jackson to grab the pack doctor and check on how the alpha was doing. "How about we go to the kitchen so I can braid your hair." 

"But mommy," Aleena cried as they reached Stephanie's door. "I don't want to be with Stephanie. It's your day off why can't I just be with you?"

"Mommy has some stuff to do. Now stay with Stephanie and I'll be back before bedtime." She knocked on Stephanie's house door and waited. Aleena didn't share the same patience. Her foot tapped on the ground and her arms were crossed. Her lips were over pursed and her eyebrows furrowed.

The door opened and a white powder covered Stephanie emerged. "Hello," Stephanie said to them.

"Can you watch over Aleena for a few hours?" Sarah asked, pushing Aleena forward into the door frame.

"Sure, but I am not putting her to bed. That's your duty." Stephanie opened the door wider so Aleena could stumble inside. "There are some cakes in the oven so no jumping!"

"Thank you, Steph," Sarah said.

"So what's so important on your day off that Aleena is coming to stay with me?"

"The alpha king is over."

I know. You allowed him and some other pack members to look for his missing mate."

"I have something I have to discuss with them."

"And…" Stephanie asked, rolling her hands to make Sarah continue with what she was saying.

"And?"

"What did you do that made you frantically try to find care for Aleena at dinner time?"

"I may have punched the alpha which caused him to hit his head on the wall and blackout."

Stephanie burst out laughing. And laughing. Before she managed to wheeze out; "He deserves that."

"Take care of my daughter," Sarah demanded before turning and walking away. Her plan was to visit the hospital and see how the alpha king was doing before demanding that he should stay away from her and her daughter.

"Good luck, Sarah," Stephanie yelled after her before closing the door to her room.

Sarah rolled her eyes and quickened her pace down the hallway to get out. Unlike some people, Sarah knew her way around the caves and the town. She had been blind in one eye for a few months after being found by Jackson and Stephanie. She had wandered the demon realm for a few days when she had bumped into the siblings. They brought back to their small camp of wolves inside the mountain and helped her heal. Surprisingly enough she had been able to keep her pregnancy and become an alpha. She helped bring that small group of wolves into a demon realm pack.

She arrived at the hospital wing and stopped before entering. She took a deep breath and walked in.

"Alpha finely, nice to see you," Doctor Oakland smirked.

"Doctor," Sarah said, lifting her cheek in a nervous smile.

"The alpha king is fine if you were wondering. His nose isn't broken, just bruised and should be   healed in a few hours. His minor concussion should take a few days to heal."

"That's good, can I see him?"

"The room at the end of the hall."

"Thanks, doc," said Sarah. She was a little relieved that her ex-mate wasn't dead or badly injured. She was also a little sad that she didn't hit harder. But she was still pissed and unsure how facing him would make her feel.
