“My love,”
“Hey, how is it going,” I ask, he yawns before responding.
“Good, the elders have gone back today, don’t worry, I told them that you are working with one of the new packs but we have new guests,” He says and I already have an idea of whom,
“Oh who?”
“My cousins are visiting on official business, I will introduce you to them when you come,” He says. I feel slightly guilty for not telling him that I’ve met one of them.
“I didn’t know you had family out of the region,”
“Yes we do, Edward’s mother and mine were siblings,” He explains.
“Oh okay,” We talk a while longer about the Chasia siblings and I’m surprised that I haven’t heard of them, according to Leon, their pack is domineering and the largest in the western territories. They have quite a reputation.
I wake up to the sounds of dishes in the kitchen, I wear my sweatpants and shirt before going downstairs to the kitchen where I find Alpha Edward, making breakfast.
“Good morning, Luna Alyssa,” He grits in a baritone voice of his.
“Good morning,” I sit on the island and watch him quickly finish making breakfast, he pushes a plate for me and sits next to me, eating. After breakfast he excuses himself to go somewhere and I only see him again in the evening.
I was making supper when he entered, he went upstairs and minutes later came down to eat. We don’t exchange much and It’s alright, Edward seems like a man who’s missing a soul and is desperately trying to find it. When I’m done, I put the plates away and he goes outside, I follow suit and find his watching the moon. I sit next to him.
“Are you okay?”
“No,” He says softly, I wasn’t expecting him to answer that question.
“What’s wrong?”
“My mate ran away from me and I’ve been searching for her since,” He says, not taking his eyes off the full moon. ” It… hurts,” He croaks and I feel for him. I wonder what went on between the two but I pray the goddess’ wishes be done.
“Would you like a beer?” I ask, he looks at me and nods.
“Yes, thank you, Queen Alyssa,”
“Call me Allie, Alpha Edward,” I smile.
“Edward,” He says and I nod, getting up to get two beers.
Edward and I developed a routine in the three days we stayed together, he’d make breakfast and I made dinner, and we ate together every evening. We are sitting at the dining table when I ask him;.
“Are you certain Caliana is here?”
“I recently located the driver who took her to the airport and he said she mentioned coming to the Northern part for a new start,” He says, eating his steak.
“I hope it works out for both of you,”
“Thanks,”
“And by the way, I’m going back to the castle tomorrow,”
“Your retreat is over? That’s good, finally, my cousin will stop complaining,”
Edward has kept true to his word about not telling Leon I’m here. I finish my food but before I can go to the bedroom, we hear loud growls and the banging of the door, someone is trying to forcefully enter and before he can fathom anything, smoke engulfed my nostrils.
“Fuck, we are under attack,” Edwards mutters.
Smoke was filling the room fast and the menacing growls outside were getting louder, Edward ran to the sink and dipped a kitchen cloth in water, and rushed to give me.
“Use this to cover your nose,” I take it and do as he says, he is gone before I can tell him I can get us out of here.
He comes back in less than a second and asks” We are locked in and rogues are standing on any possible exit,” He says, he isn’t very panicked, I’d say he is only worried about me.
“I can get us out of here,” I say confidently and he gives me a look ” I have special abilities,” I say and he nods slowly, not believing me. I shake my head and throw the cloth to the floor. I extend my hand and rotate, trying to open a portal to the castle but it’s futile.
“I think you’ve inhaled too much smoke,” He says in a mocking tone and I’m rebuffed by that.
“I do have powers but something is blocking them!”
Alyssa’s POV
‘Or someone,’ I jolt that the male voice in my head. It must be Amacus’. I try to block out his voice as it’s making my head pain. I try to open the portal once more but It’s in vain and I’m failing to breathe.
“Fuck it, I’m breaking that door down, and stay close to me,” He growls.
“I can fight!” I retort. He only scoffs and runs with full force to the door and it opens, I run after him, and Immediately more than a dozen rogues pounce on us. I kick one away with force while Edward grabs one that charged at him by the throat and snaps its neck. I’m not in the best position to fight as my headache worsens and my vision is blurry but I force myself to keep my eyes open. Assessing each rogue.
“You don’t look fine,” Edward mutters.
“I think someone is using dark magic on me,”
“What?!” He hisses ” It’s the smoke, they are no wizards left,”
“Oh there is so much you don’t know, Edward,”
Attack. I hear the voice of Amacus and the rogues jump at us at once. Edwards shifts in his large beast Lycan and scatters all the rogues away. He fights them effortlessly and I do my best to fend them off as well however, I can’t shift.
‘Chalo,’ I call but I’m met with silence. Are you kidding me now? I can feel her giving me strength though.
