Book 2: 12- The Blame Game
THIRD PERSON POV:
As soon as twins Damen and Deo heard that heart-throbbing howl, they hurried to their parent's room, running into their father's Beta Ryan along the way. They knew something was wrong. And the nervous look on the betas face just proved them right.
“Whats going on Ryan?” Damen asked, but the frown on Ryans face deepen.
“Im not too sure, but I know it has something to do with your mother.” he told them right as they made it to the Alphas room door. They didnt wait and wasted no time in opening the door.
As soon as they opened the door and automatically their nose scrunched up in disgust. There was a faint odor in the air, it was a smokey odor. The common smell of a demon, but this, this smell was different. They didn’t know how, but it was different.
What they all saw was Alx growling as he paced the room. His nose high in the air as they tried to catch any whiff of his mate. But there wasnt any, all there was, was the scent of a demon an unfamiliar demon. And that scent pissed him off as he let out a deep and menacing growl.
Ryan, Damen and Deo all stiffen as they felt the anger within his menacing growl. Ryan slowly approached Axl.
“Alpha,” Ryan said nervously, but Axl just kept on pacing the room and growling. “Alpha, I need you to shift back now so we can talk about what happened to Luna Queen Mila.”
At her name, Axl stopped and looked at Ryan. The anger disappeared from his eyes and was replaced with sadness as he whimpered. He lost his mate, he watched her get taken right from in front of his eyes. How the hell could he let that happen.
“Dad,” Damen spoke up “Shift back and tell us what happened.” Axl just looked down and he could feel his bones start to shift as he started to change back into his human side.
Elias chest heaved as he breathed deeply, his fist clenched as his jaw tighten. He turned around Stalk naked, he walked passed the boys to his walk in closet and pulled out a pair of basketball shorts. He walked out, running his fingers through his hair in aggravation as he paced the floor.
“Alpha King Elias where’s Luna Queen Mila?” Ryan asked again.
Elias stopped and growled out loudly as he sat on the bed and pulled at his hair. “He took her, he fucking took her.” He growled out.
The brothers stiffened. “Wh-who took her?” Deo asked. He was always closer to his mother then then his twin brother Damen. You could call him a bit of a mama’s boy.
“I-I don’t know Fuck, I don’t know.” Elias groaned out as he stood up shaking his head and pacing the floor.
“What the hell do you mean you don’t know?!?” Deo yelled stepping closer to his father.
Elias stopped and looked at his son, his eyes turned black. He was already pissed off that he lost his mate. Now his son was being fucking disrespectful, what the fuck it was going on today? Elias growled as he stepped forward and menacing towards his son as he growled, but Deo didn’t back down. He wanted to know what happened to his mother.
“Who. The. Fuck. Do. You. Think. Your. Talking too pup?” He growled out. It was obvious that Axl had showed his face. Axl didn’t take disrespect well, especially not from his own children.
Even though Deo didn’t want to, he could feel the overwhelm power from his father and couldn’t help but back down with a whimper baring his neck in submission. Axl huff, smirking as he watched his son submit to him. Then he let Elias have control again.
“I don’t know who took her, but what I do know is that it’s a demon.” Elias said as he paced the floor again. “I could still smell him here.” Elias growled as he growled out deeply. Closing his eyes, Elias took a deep breath trying to calm himself down. Now was not the time to be freaking out. He had to find his mate and kill whoever took her.
Just then Daria came strutting in the room Gabriel close behind her. As soon as her brothers smelt her their attention was all on her. And it wasn’t in a good way.
“What’s going on?” She said a bored sound in her voice. But it wasn’t because she didn’t care, it was because she already knew what was going on. Damen stomped angrily towards her and as soon as he got in front of her he sniffed the air around her. His nose scrunched in disgust as he growled out in her face.
“Get out of my face.” Daria said in a monotone voice as she pushed him out of her face. Which was kind of hard as he stumbled back a bit. He looked at her in shocked before he covered it with an angry growl.
“Where were you and why do you smell like that?” he growled out.
“What are you talking about?” Daria sighed as she crossed her arms over her chest.
“You smell like a demon, almost like the demon that took mom.” Damen said and Elias immediately looked at his daughter, his eyes narrowed at her. Then he stomped his way towards her, he was expecting her to be like her brothers and his beta and shiver in fear, baring her neck in submission but she didn’t. She stood tall and proud as she looked her father in his eyes. Elias can feel Axl wanting to come out, to show he was the Dominante wolf. But Elias kept him at bay not wanting to scare or threaten his daughter.
He could feel her pride seeping out of her, he didn’t know what happened. Or what was going with his daughter, but he didn’t like it. He sniffed the air around her and his son was right, she did smell like a demon, very close to the demon that took his mate. And he couldn’t help the deep growl that rumbled in his chest. Axl was just scratching to get out, but he didn’t let him.
“Daria,” Elias said taking a deep breath. “Where were you today?” He stared her in her eyes waiting for her to respond.
“I was out at grandpa’s house, today we had lunch together.” She told him honestly. Elias growled so loud that it shook the room, he paced the room once again mumbling to himself.
“What’s wrong Dad?” Damen asked.
“Who else was there?” Elias asked his daughter and the thought. Should she tell him she met Ciel? or should that be a secret? Hmmmm.
“Just me and grandpa.” She said with a shrugged like it was nothing. She felt bad for lying to her father but she knew she had to.
“She’s lying” Axl growled out in Elias head and he stopped pacing and looked at his daughter.
“Don’t lie to me Daria,” Elias growled out.
“I’m not.” She sighed.
“She’s fucking lying!!” Axl growled louder as he clawed at Elias mind. Causing a slight headache but Elias held him back.
“This is not the time for fucking games Daria!” Elias yelled. “This is serious. Your mother was taken you don’t know what’s happening to her, I bet Lucifer had something to do with this.” He mumbled the last part to himself and Daria’s eye twitched.
“Why would you think Grandpa had something to do with it?” Daria asked dropping her arms, a deep glare on her face as she took a step forward. Elias turned and looked at his daughter his eyes widen in surprise and her angry face. “Is it because he’s a demon, huh? so are all demons evil now, Grandpa is not evil, and if you didn’t know Mom and all your children are part demons.”
“I’m not saying Lucifer’s evil, all I’m saying is that I know he had something to do with it.” Elias said through clenched teeth. “And we need to find her because she could be in trouble.”
Daria just huffed rolled her eyes and turned her back to him. She just tuned them out as they talked about what happened to Mila, how it happen, and who took her. All the clues revolved around Lucifer and the Empire and that pissed Daria off. So she huffed and rolled her eyes.
“Will you all stop bitching, Mom’s fine.” Daria huffed and everything went quiet. Next thing Daria knew, someone grabbing her shoulder and turning her around. Her father stood close in front of her, his eyes all black, Axl had finally broke free.
“Where, the fuck is she?” Axl growled out and Daria stiffen. She knew she said too much but there was no going back now. Not wanting to give up anymore information, Daria just shut her lips and glared off to the side. She didn’t want to say anything else but, that just pissed Axl off even more.
He roared he had enough of Daria and her games, yes she was his pup. But she knew something about Mila and he wanted his mate back. He wasn’t going to let anyone get in the way of finding his mate, not even his own pup.
Axl gripped Daria’s throat and her hand automatically grabbed at his wrist and her eyes went wide. “Where. Is. My. Mate.” With each word his grip tighten on her throat, until her face started to turn colors.
How the fuck was she going to get out of this one now?
