Lia stood in the control center room alone since she was unable to think properly in her handsome mate's presence.
She felt it, the mate pull, the bond, it was so strong that she couldn't ignore it.
But see where it got her, she had now ended up betraying her people, to which she had to pay the harsh consequences for betraying Him.
Everybody knew what would happen to them if they tried to stab him in the back, for those like that their punishment was never death.
He couldn't let you die, he would make sure you begged and wish you were dead until his subconscious decided to visit him.
She slid on the floor, putting her head on her trembling knees, Lia immediately felt his presence in the room, her mate was there with her.
When Alex made it to where his mate was, worry immediately lifted up to his heart, his mate was the strongest woman he had ever known in just this few weeks, he had watched her every move and had proved that but right now here she was, his beautiful and brave mate crying out on the cold floor.
Alex hurriedly rushed and knelt before her shaking body, he then pulled her to himself, immediately she stopped trembling, his presence making her feel safe.
"What's wrong my dear Lia?" asked Alex, he brushed his hands through her hair, the slight gesture reminded him of his little sister Fern.
He missed her so muc-, "I am scared Alex,"
"I am so scared of loosing you- if anything ever happens to you I can't live on, I jus- can't" Lia desperately said, she had let her guard down with him but she couldn't help that thought of loosing him, or even being separated from him.
"look at me Lia, I am right here with you, I won't go anywhere," Alex answered before pulling her in to a hug.
He knew he was no match for the aliens but he could fight to death to protect his mate and family.
"Alex, that's her, she is still alive," Emily yelled as she jumped on her mate's chest, she was so happy, her little sister was still alive.
Alex had asked Lia if she could search for his sister's location but he didn't expect for her to have found her this soon.
"Lia how did you find her?" Alex asked
"Well I have a bit of my loyal people still in the place and they happen to have given me the information,"
"And I am very sorry Emily for what happened, actually the one who took Fern from you was my brother Ace and I truly apologize for my brother's rudeness on his behalf," said Lia
As no one said anything she continued to defend her brother "He was just following orders,"
"But from who exactly, we need to know where and who has Fern, my poor baby sister, she must be so scared," Emily cried out loud, she knew how scared Fern was always.
And now the thought of her being out there alone with the people who killed there parents broke her heart,
She had promised her that their parents were coming for them, she never wanted her to feel that pain of their loose, her naivety and ignorance was what kept her safe,
And that's the way it was supposed to be, she would not let anyone break her innocent Fern, not even those fucking bitches.
"We have to find her Alex, we must get her out of that dangerous place," Emily desperately said, she couldn't wait any longer.
"I am scared Alex, I am very scared something bad could happen to her any moment we keep waiting, I can't loose Fern too, we have already lost mom and dad, I just can't loose my little sister too, I will never be able to forgive myself if that happens," Emily cried, the love she had for her sister was unconditional,
She had watched her everyday like an oak from that day she was welcomed to earth, her eyes were always wide and alert waiting for any danger that could come and harm her sister.
Alex and Lia watched both in pain, but they was nothing they could do, they couldn't risk getting themselves caught, there had worked so hard to find this hide out and they couldn't blow it.
But it broke Alex's heart every time seeing her sister's sorrow and tears, he loved her so much but this wish of hers was something that he couldn't rush or delay because he knew just how hot headed Emily could get.
It was like a suicide mission, they had to make safe plans first.
"I know why, you no longer care about us since you found her, that disgusting alien," Emily stood up all her anger rising up, why was her brother being so hesitant.
"No Emily that's not true, you know it yourself just how much you and Fern mean to me," Alex answered back with too much emotion, how could his own sister think he didn't want to save Fern.
"Maybe before but Alex, don't you forget that alien you call mate is one the creatures that destroyed our childhood and also the reason why we are now orphans," Emily screamed pointing towards Lia before storming out of their sight.
Alex couldn't take it, Emily had never gotten mad at him before, he felt so disappointed in himself for letting her down but he had another responsibility now.
To love and take care of his mate, he knew very well Emily didn't like her, even at their first meeting but what he wasn't expecting was for her to think that he was now abandoning them, no he could never do that.
"I am sorry Alex, this is all my fault why she is so angry at you,"
"I didn't mean to wedge a fight between you two,"
Alex could see just how much Emily's words had affected his mate but she covered it so perfectly, something which she was so good at.
He turned to face her but her eyes where glued at the glass, "let it not affect you, Emily is just angry right now, don't take it to heart,"
Even though Alex said it himself, she knew deep down in his heart he blamed her and her people for what they have done his home and family.
"Something big is coming, a dangerous weapon against earth is on its way,"
Happy New year.
love you guys
