Chapter 9
AKIVA
I felt myself taking control of Micaiah, letting my claws and teeth elongate to show I have control. Seeing this bitch look into my now bright green eyes, she knows I have control and she wants to claim dominance. I don’t need to I am far ahead of her on the totem pole, I want to teach her a lesson no one fucks with our family. Her wolf began racing to me I swiped my claws right across her left cheek and snout, making sure it was deep enough to leave a mark for a few days.
I then began punching her in her wolf face and kicked her paws out from underneath her. I then grabbed her by the scruff of her neck tossing her toward Dylan. She lays at his feet panting for air I step on her throat slightly applying pressure causing her to submit. When I removed my feet Shawn then commanded her to shift back.
When she did bruises covered her body and my claw marks were left on her face, Shawn grabbed her by the back of her head. “You ever come near the packhouse again you will be banished, you ever come near Cammy, or Jake you will be banished you ever come near our Luna Micaiah or my mate Dylan again and you will die. She whimpered and submitted to him, he then let her go and she ran naked back to where I assume is her house.
Shawn then wrapped up Dylan in a huge embrace, apologizing to him for not being there to protect him from harm. It was sweet to see Dylan finally have the love story he wanted. Both Micaiah and I feeling ashamed for assuming the worst of our mate. I felt Maverick walking toward us slowly, neither Ki or I had an explanation about the assumption. He looked at us with his eyes filled with sadness and it caused our heart to break knowing that us not trusting him caused him to fill this way. Micaiah making her way further in our mind not wanting to see the hurt we have caused. With doing the one thing we are both good at I ran towards the woods needing to get some fresh air and not wanting to hurt him further.
MAVERICK
After hearing her words and the fact that Savannah made her believe I was unfaithful no wonder she was so upset. As I reached her, I noticed her eyes were still bright green knowing her wolf was still at the surface Alaric and I felt ashamed for not even knowing her wolf’s name, suddenly she ran to the woods.
‘Alaric it is time we make things right; you take control and speak to her wolf just no craziness please.’ ‘Of course, Maverick we will fix this do not fret.’ With that I shifted into Alaric, for being Alpha our size was enormous, his eyes were an icy blue to my ocean blue ones, and his fur pure silver. ‘Alaric you up, I believe in you and it time she know our story and us hers, we are destined for a reason and she is our mate it is time we all accept this.’ With that we were off.
ALARIC
I ran as fast as possible sniffing the air to keep her scent. She was fast even in human form as a werewolf she was incredibly fast. Finally, her scent was getting stronger I believe she was no longer running. Then I see her sitting up against an oak tree with her knees to her face.
I hated seeing my mate in this state, I knew she was upset for going to challenge us and causing us pain. I had no plans to change back I needed her to see I was not upset or mad at her. As I walked toward her, her head snapped in my direction, tears streaming down her cheeks, her green eyes boring holes in my heart. I got on my belly and crawled to her showing I was there in peace.
“Please, Maverick, forgive us.” I whimpered at her words. I laid my head unto her foot nudging her to get her attention, “You’re not Maverick, are you?” I shook my head no, “Are you mad at us to?” She looked away again and I nudged her leg again shaking my head no. I seen a small cut on top of her hand and her blood, I knew a way I could mind linking her for a short period of time without marking each other. I took my paw and scrap it on a sharp rock causing a cut to form, I then laid it upon her hand feeling the opening in her mind, and her staring at me wide eyed for doing so.
‘Hi, my name is Alaric, I am Maverick’s wolf.’ ‘Hi, I am Akiva, Micaiah’s wolf, and now I see why you did that.’ Her voice was so enticing. ‘How are you not mad? We accused you of sleeping with the slut, and then was going to challenge you to a fight for it.’ ‘Yes, you did, but if it was the other way around, I would have been ripping somebody’s head off.’ She smiled at my remark and softly began rubbing the top of my head. ‘Thank you for being understanding.’ ‘You are our Mate Akiva, of course. Listen, I think we all need to get to know each other, and I have some things that I want you to know about us, but Maverick is the one who needs to tell you, is that okay?’
‘Micaiah is all right with that; it was nice to finally meet you Alaric.’ Suddenly her bright green eyes went back to Micaiah’s and now it was our turn. I went to the nearest tree and shifted grabbing a small rope in a tree and bringing down a bag with clothes in it, they are every where on our land. ‘Alright Mav, you can do this okay, she deserves to know our past as well.’ ‘Okay Alaric, I can do it.’
MAVERICK
I went back to where Micaiah was sitting and sat right beside her, telling her my past was going to be hard enough so having to look her in the eye would make it that much harder. “This is going to be hard so please, let me finish before questions or anything okay.” She nodded and I could feel her staring at the side of my face, taking a deep breath I begun telling her my story.
“Well as the Alphas son, you already have your future planned out for you, and at the age of 15 you are sent out to the academy to learn and train as an Alpha. That way when it is your time to take over you are prepared for what is to come.
There were two different classes we had to participate in seven days a week. From five in the morning until noon we were in Alpha Management, where you are taught all details of paperwork, alliances, enemies, that type of stuff. Then after lunch about one in afternoon until six in the evening we went through training, each Alpha to be was assigned a specific trainer. My trainer was my uncle and so I thought it would be easier with him as the trainer.” I took a deep breath knowing the story she was about to hear was not a pleasant one.
“The first few days weren’t bad, but things slowly started going downhill. If I did not beat the time, he set for me during laps he withheld water from me. If I did not stand up to his standard and do everything he wanted and how he wanted me to he beat me with silver chains.” I heard her gasp but continued with the story I knew if I stopped, I would never finish. “He would tell me if I ever told anyone he would hurt Emma, and he would make sure I would never get Alpha and be a disgrace to the family. Of course, it was just beatings I could handle that but then he got worse. He was so evil, but he wore a mask for everyone else acting like this amazing person who was looking to better us and help our packs, he wasn’t who they thought, who I thought for that matter. During the hunting for rogues near the land, who were spotted causing other packs harm he made sure to make it quite clear there were to be no survivors no matter if they submitted or not.” I took a deep breath before I continued knowing the next part would be awful.
“Micaiah, over those last three years, I killed so many innocent rogues, so many dead at my hands, my life I have done so much wrong, hurt so many people. I never thought the Goddess would bless me with a mate, to myself I don’t think I deserve happiness. I took so many others happiness away why should I have any. I have nightmares nearly every night of the lives I took.” I hung my head not knowing what she has to say, possibly expecting her to run away, I would not blame her if she did. Deep down I hope she does not and accepts me.”
