Chapter 5 - Fractured ribs and shattered plans

I pelted through the trees as fast as my paws would take me, allowing Aurora to take control pushing harder than we had before.

I was vaguely aware of my parents following me though they were struggling to keep up. I knew as I got closer to my 18th birthday my strength and power would grow. It may even still progress until as late as 21 depending how strong my blood is. To explain why I am like this when both of my parents were werewolves. My mother is not my biological mother. My real mother passed away giving birth to me. She was Fae and her boys was not built to birth a cub. Both of my parents mates have passed away. So when my parents met and got along they started spending a lot of time together. And it helped that Eleanor adored me. So as time went on the grew to love eachother and now you wouldn't know they weren't mates by looking at them. That's why dad calls mum his mate.

By the time my parents caught up to me, I was sitting naked on the back porch of our house crying into my hands. I wasn't even sure why I was crying. My emotions had been all over the place lately.

'Sweetheart what happened?' My father asked,, shifting first. Concern marring both of their faces.

'A bitch from school attacked me in the bathroom saying to stay away from the Alpha. I was handling it the way we have practiced, using enough strength to be a wolf without using the fae.'

They nodded their head knowing more way coming, since that wouldn't bother me as it has happened many times. Teenage werewolf girls seem to think quiet means weak and pick on me.

'Then the Alpha burst into the room. He looked livid. I guess he doesn't like fights at his feasts. The bitch started spouting off about us planning to blackmail him into mating or some bullshit like that. Then he goes off at her and calls me the future Luna!'

I was speaking so fast, while pacing, I was out o breath and had to sit down. I placed my head in my hands trying to catch my breath.

'Darling just breath'

I shot back up onto my feet

'Why would he lie about something like that. He should be ashamed of himself. There's no way I could be a Luna and there's definitely no way I'm his'

'Mate' I got interrupted by the last voice I wanted to hear.

I was in my own head, swirling in panic, I had no idea he had entered my home.

'What are you doing here? Did you follow me?' My anger was taking over confusion

He let out a low growl. Only then did I realise I was naked from shifting.

I rushed to cover myself up, grabbing my fathers jumper that had been left on the couch.

He just stared at me. His eyes dark and glinting.

'Hello? What are you doing here?'

'We need to talk'

'We don't need to talk about anything. Just stop your pack members spouting lies about my family, which might be easier when you stop telling them lies'

'Lexi' my father tried to calm me

'No dad! We have been through enough already and the end of school is almost here and the last thing I need before disappearing from this miserable world is more drama and another move!'

Next thing I heard was a growl so intense the glasses in the kitchen rattled.

I looked at the naked alpha standing in my living room in shock. Only now realising he was naked.

I could feel the flush spreading up my face.

'What do you mean disappearing Alex?' My name made the question more of a demand.

'Once I finish school I'm leaving. Going somewhere no one will find me.' I kept my head high and my voice clear through my nerves. I would not let him get too me

' you can not leave' his nostrils flared and hid chest rose and fell with his breaths

I pulled my attention from his chest when my mother handed him a pair of my fathers track pants and a tshirt.

'Thankyou. I apologise for entering your home uninvited like this. What happened at the feast should not have happened. I had to make sure Alexis was alright and make sure you were all aware I do not believe anything Sophie said and she will be punished for her lies and for harming your daughter. Although it seems Sophie got the worst end of the stick there' the last part had put a smirk on his face as he looked at me.

'What do you mean she got the worst of it?'

'You fractured a couple of her ribs. She will heal fine but she got off easy if you ask me.'

I nodded my head. Unsure if anyone could even see it.

'Well I am fine. Thank you for checking. You may leave now' I tried to sound as polite as I could.

'Alexis' my mother scolded

'We really do have more to talk about Alex. I wasn't lying to you before. You are the future Luna of my pack'

I heard more than felt the gasp leave my lips.
