Axel thought that he should actually, probably run.
Yes, run back to Kyle and continue their boring life of frustrating each other because the life was stress free.
Because in that life, he loved Kyle and he knew for certain that the male felt the same way.
Because this...
Fuck, was this mockery?
The same ...
How come he never knew?
Okay, so Misha never talked about having a younger sister, ever.
If the girl wasn't talking about herself, it was definetely her cousin.
And he never ever saw anyone that looked like Ravenna.
How old could she possibly anyway?
Okay, so yes, Axel's Pack was possibly too far away and it was hard, always switching back and forth, hard as hell.
But whenever he came, he tried to give Misha everything....
The bitch.
God, he was actually beginning to hate her now.
She had... Always threatened to leave him, always and he had, in his desperate state to please and love, because he didn't want to lose her, made him be her lapdog.
Because you see, she was trained on the art of getting what she wanted while he was trained to rip heads off with a snap of his hand.
So you see?
Two different worlds.
And he had managed to not get haunted by the fact that he was the reason she commited suicide.
Though he strongly believed she didn't do it because she felt guilty.
But because everyone knew the shit she had done, and it was worse than killing a pack mate.
Betraying a Mate was an extremely grave sin and though no one would have challenged her, she was Alpha..
Or not.
Axel had always known deep down Misha was Beta, but he had thought she could.... Get trained into one as there was no other Alpha in the family.
But seeing Ravenna's eyes....
She had the most wonderful Alpha eyes he had met, and this wasn't him talking on a Mate's adoration for his partner.
Axel knew that she was powerful, not as him, or possibly the others in his Pack, because she had began to actually start training late but if he trained her longer, she could actually maybe be at his level.
He would never let her surpass him though.
Incase she ever wanted to run and he had to tie and chain her down to their cabin.
The thought made him smile, because it pleased him.
Memories of Ravenna pleased his tormented soul.
Misha....
Misha had filled him with love, yes, but he had barely been able to concentrate.
Everyone had said that was love.
Losing focus on everything.
But he was losing focus on Ravenna and yet, she was bringing his world to a focus at the same time.
God, he loved her...
But...
But Misha's....
Misha's memories with him....
He couldn't consecrate it.
She was dead, yes, and he mourned like a fool for years on end, and now, he claimed to hate her which was false because if he saw her...
Cursing, he hit his head.
Get it together.
She was never coming back!
But...
But she loved us a little, a small.voive in his head said, maybe she hurt us, but she loved us in her own way, and we revelled in it. Ravenna... Ravenna would possibly not care if we got hit by a truck. Not that it would kill us but the pain....
I love her, and that should be enough.
But was it really? And how long could he possibly take before he lost his cool?

"Before you shout at me or yell any obscenities, I found my mate and some rogue wolves tried to hurt me but he has possibly broken her spine with one move and I think someone should go check it out" Raven stated as she walked into the conference room, startling her Father, council members and Jordan.
Jordan snickered "You're just trying to get yourself out of trouble"
Raven chuckled "I can't wait to let him lose on you too. Wondering if I can get your fur as a doormat"
A small growl came from hus lips as a loud voice said "Enough, both of you"
There was silence.
Jethro Alistair stared at his daughter, his eyes glistening in something close to anger and yet, calm "You said Mate"
Ravem nodded "And a possible ambush on my...."
Jethro flower his hand in ghe air "You're stronger than most people. If they had harmed you, the better. Where is this Mate?"
"He's taking a walk around the perimeters. Should I go bring him?"
Jordan chuckled "You just want to run off again"
Raven did not pay him heed.
Jethro sighed "Thirty minutes"
Eaven bowed "Thank you"
And was out, the sane way she had come in.

Or.... Or was she playing the same trick Misha had used on him, except she was being more upfront about it?
Making him beg and grovel....
Get a grip over yourself! You're technically comparing a bee and a butterfly!
Tell me Alec, who's the butterfly?
Let's not make me sound like I'm insulting someone at the moment. The point is, you've been comparing them all day, and you have like a thousand differences. Why do you think they would be the same because they're related all of a sudden? Blood doesn't mean the same behaviours.
So Misha is technically the butterfly and Ravenna is the bee?
When she can finally read our minds. I'd tell her you compared her to an insect that has a fucking stick up it's ass. Hehe.
Axel began to feel a smile on his face until he saw Ravenna come into view, her face void of emotion "My father requests of you"
The whole sentence made his blood run cold, wondering if Jethro had told her who he was, but he was sure she would not have come back if she knew so he said instead "What for?"
"You owe me" She stated matter of factly "You saved my life from those hunters and I helped reduce your pain of yesterday"
"You wanted it too but okay, let's not talk of the part you were moaning" Axel said with a sigh "Point is, we're both paid in full. Besides, I literally saved your life"
She rolled her eyes "Father sent them, they would not have hurt me too much"
He laughed a dry humourless laugh "Those people didn't come to play darling. They were only going I to leave if you were bleeding too much or dead"
At the look of bewilderment on her face, he continued "So, before we meet your Father, you owe me a favour Princess"
Raven nearly puked at the name "What? I bet it's something sappy and stupid"
"Chase me"
She backtracked " What?"
Axel stood up from the rock he was sitting on and began to stretch "I could leave now, of course, because you have already stated the terms of you not loving me in our beautiful contract....."
"The fuck...."
"But chase me and prevent me from doing that" He continued, a grin now on his face "It would be fun, I assure you. I know you like chases and being in your wolf form. Except this time, you're chasing a human"
"You won't turn into your wolf form?" She asked, eyes sweeping over him.
Axels blue eyes glistened as they usually did when he felt extremely happy as he was feeling now "I want you catching me my love, not being exhausted while you chase me and pass out"
Raven growled "Your too arrogant for your own good"
"Chase me and find out if I'm wrongfully arrogant or rightfully so my love"

MC are barely ever my favourite characters, so I love Kyle more than everyone and it hurts me that Axel isn't gay too (+_+)
