Alex pov I walk around the field with Ian both of us with blades in hand looking at the carnage that was left after the battle. We were quiet as we plunge of blades into the enemies that were too badly injured giving them a quicker death while we sent some to the infirmary on our land to get treated. I sighed softly looking around and seeing some of my men that carried the dead away while others worked with Beta female Amber to record our dead. The realm had lost no man, some were injured but not badly enough that required immediate attention. Amber declared that all dead were to receive a proper last rite, that all werewolves were to be burned as per tradition and that their wolves were to be sent back to the goddess. We didn't question the order when it came we knew that the Assyrian valued the wolf souls even if the human was evil. "So much destruction for revenge ...." Ian says as he kills another badly injured wolf."I guess you can see it as such but to them it was for a cau
It was raining again in Edinburgh, nothing unusual, but for me, the smell and the sound always took me back to memories that caused me the most pain. I cuddled into my blanket more closely turning away from the window trying to rid my mind of the painful memories, trying to go back to sleep so I had enough energy to do my double shift at the restaurant later today. I groaned as the rain batted down more heavily against my apartment window making me know that it could not be ignored, my mind flashed with images of the fire, and blood. I could still remember their screams and the stench of burning flesh as I quickly worked to save and released the countless supernatural creatures, some even children, that were being held and tortured in cells for God Knows how long. I sat up pressing my hands to my eyes as tears ran down my cheeks, it was killed or be killed, I remind myself. I had to save them, I had to save my own, I had to save Emanuel and Noah. I hear my phone vibrate beneath m
I smile at seat a customer and her child who smiled just as happily back. I hand them menus before heading to the kitchen area to pick up the order for a group of werewolf teenagers at the booth in the corner of the restaurant. "five mega burgers, six medium fries, and two special subs. Ella will come over with your milkshakes in a bit." I smile at them and the one guy smelling like pine thanked me while the other two ignore me and the three girls rolled their eyes while the other growled at me. "Missy calm yourself." the one guy kicks the girl under the table while her eyes shift to bright green and I narrow my eyes "Control yourself. We have human children here and I have no interest in your little mate in the damn corner." I snap walking away and they look at me wide-eyed as Ella comes over to place their super large milkshakes. Ella snickers as we wait for John, the owner, and chef, to hand us our next orders. "They still staring..." she whispers and I pour myself a cup of cof
After Noah left everything went back to normal, John offered a cup of coffee and an English muffin, my usual customers, Tom and Patty walked for their daily lunch while they worked on sudoku and the rest of the customers went back to their meals as if nothing happened. I found my mood dipping a bit remembering Noah's last comment and inwardly groaned at myself for even being affected by that jerk's comment. He was a horrible, vile being and I had a good mind going after him and kicking him in his balls. "Emi... darling, Can you make me that scrambled eggs again with those sausages, I'm craving that cinnamon vanilla latte from yesterday. and make another to go." Collen asks bringing me out of my thoughts and Tom and Patty shout over each other to make that two. "The Girl is only here for two months and she's taking over my kitchen."John laughs making me blush as I head into the kitchen and quickly start on the scrambled eggs adding a dash of milk, salt, pepper, a hint of green chill
I swallow slowly rising to my feet and crossing my hands over myself feeling exposed and vulnerable. "Of course sir, Please wait out front, my boss doesn't like people in the kitchen except for staff..." I sniff and give him a polite smile and he frowns at me in confusion. "You telling me to leave the kitchen?" He asks carefully almost amused "Yes, Unless you want to meet John's wrath. Once Patty trudged in mud after training and John made him clean the floor with a toothbrush." I chuckle in amusement and I see the man tilt his head with a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. "I don't have mud..." he counters with a smirk making my smile broaden "True but Goddess knows where you been," I say back with an amused expression looking at his rumpled suit pants to his tight and lightly soiled suit jacket that looked darker on one side than the other meaning one side was wet and did absolutely nothing to soften his look. He followed my eyes as I looked him over and stood up straight
I bite my lower lip smiling and turn back to him with the mug in hand noticing he took out his jacket and sat up when I turned around. My eyes widen in shock seeing the white shirt reddening in front of my eyes "Alexander... You bleeding." I say in panic blanching and placing the mug down in front of him. He looked down at the shirt unconcerned and looked back up at my worried eyes. "It's fine..." he says uninterested taking the mug as the white shirt front became redder and the smell of blood and wolfsbane filled my nose. "Let me see..." I say moving quickly to the other side of the counter and turning following my movements as he drank the boiling coffee. "I'm Fine-" "Don't be ridiculous Alex. You bleeding." I say moving my hand to the slashes and he catches my hand, I look up at his scowling face and I frown right back. "Let me see," I say moving my free hand to pry the shirt and he places the mug down so quickly catching the other hand. I look up at him furiously "Alexande
I dropped all the waste into a large metal drum along with paraffin dipped that we used to heat up the outside griller. I lit up the waste and watched everything catch alight before heading back inside and washing my hands and reheating a large container of beef stew that John kept aside for me to take for dinner or breakfast. I poured the contents into a bowl, took a soup spoon and some serviettes, and walked tiredly to the front where Alex sat with the shirt unbuttoned because it was too small. I placed the stew in front of him along with a spoon. "Do you want another cup of coffee?" I ask him kindly and Alexander shifts uncomfortably and nods pushing his empty mug towards me. "The same... if you can..." He says quietly I smile to myself picking up the mug "Of course. Do you like cheesecake?" I ask as he smiled slightly at me "Is John aware that you giving food away?" "I am not giving it away," I answer in slight amusement technically it was my food but he needed it more than m
"I smelt his scent... his Burning wood scent gives your werewolf scent a roasted hazelnut coffee smell and makes your vampire scent a dry froze midnight orchid smell.." I explain and he narrows his eyes indicating I needed to explain more than that, I groan at him giving him a summarised version. "I have a special gene that gave me a heightened sense of smell, better than a werewolf. As I grew my ability grew and my Alpha, Alpha Ian of the moon cloak pack, took me under his wing and helped me develop it, and trained me to use it. I can smell different scents, what species they are, what pack their from, sometimes the stronger their pack scent the higher their rank. I can smell danger from miles away, I can decode a person by their smell their attraction, nervousness, hate, lust, I can tell if I am in danger or not or their true intentions..." I explain. He furrows his brow in confusion like he is trying to work out a tough equation in his mind and I slide over my unfinished cheesecak
