Chapter 21
Staring at the alpha and his sister I can tell the scent is coming from one of them. They are too close to tell. I feel max straight and stiffen next to me as the door opens. Looking over my shoulder I see a tall athletic build blonde blue eyed warrior walking in. Her pose and walk tell me she can hold her own. Discreetly I sniff the air. Bear, she's the bear. I have so many questions for her. And none of them come to mind. When I see Avery staring at the alpha and his sister oddly. “tell my boy wh” “alpha” he growls out. Avery didn’t flinch or even act like he heard the threat. I did and my wolf is just under the surface. Freya came closer her red eyes finding mine. Nodding she looks back at the alpha and his sister.
Avery starts again. “who are your sire and dame?” the pair looked at him like he lost his mind. “I know it's been a long while since I have been here but I don’t remember the alpha line with your coloring or having twins in the line. So again who are your parents? How did you come to be the alpha?” with anger in his eyes wren sneered back “my bloodline means nothing I am the alpha that's what matters. Fallen did you search their vehicles?” the young warrior's eyes glued on max as she walks forward. I can hear max whisper just above his breath “mate?” his eyes not leaving him as she walks past. Her hand brushed against him and she stiffened slightly as he did. I know he is following her lead as we both feel something is off. “yes alpha no weapons. The only thing I would call out of the ordinary is the wrapped box in the second van.” she says as she pulls her eyes from max.
“what is in the box?” “had your people let us gather our things and or drive in I would have brought that with me. It's a box of cinnybonnies. They are a must-have around our home.” he nods and has the girl Fallen bring him the box. I keep inching forward sniffing the air. I can get the smell out of my head. But it also dulled. This cold is messing with my scenes of smell. I can stop inching forward and sniffing the air. When the alpha’s sister noticed me she elbowed him and arched her brow to me. Everything in me screams to punch her in the nose. But also not to cause she smells good. I am confused as I have never been attracted to females ever. Hell, I get along with maybe four females. What is bugging me is how faint the scent is.
With a nod, he looks over at us. “I am sure you must be tired from driving all this way please allow Fallen to show you to one of our guest cabins. Your warriors can bunk in the dorms. This is not a whole lot different than the rest of the packs my pack is different. We have a floor for visiting alphas and their party we never separate our groups. Thinking it over and looking around I nod as I know something is different but I can't sense a threat eater. Linking my group “keep an eye on everything if you feel it's odd make a note. Something is off.” the usual either of yes alpha follows. Cutting the link we follow the girl out. She keeps her distance from max. I can see the hurt and anger in him. Placing my hand on his arm I hear a deep grumble growl like a wolf with a chest cold. Looking over I see Fallen’s eyes on my hand her eyes glowing in anger. Good at least some of her wants my beta. Shaking her head and dropping it in defeat she turns away. What was that?
“No, please find out what is up I can't even think right now. Does she accept me or want to reject me I need to know.” max pleas in my head. I nodded letting him know I was already on that line of thought. Leaving the giant house she first shows us to the dorms for the warriors. With nods, we split up. Getting to the cabin. When she tries to step to the side after unlocking the door I pull a move to push her into the cabin without it looking like I was pushing her in the cabin. Her surprised yelp had max rushing to her. Before he could get to her he stopped dead in his tracks. “please don’t touch me. Just reject me and be done with it. If he finds out he will kill me.” “Who?” I demand shaking her head she's gone running for the door. “what the hell is going on here?” “that is the question isn't it boy? What is going on here? This is not the snowpack I remember. I must make a call.” as Avery rushed to a closed door. What is he still doing with us? “hey I thought I said once we got here you were on your own?” I holler at him “if I left now your father would. find a way to kill me no no I need to find out what is going on here and report to your father. I know you are fully capable but with that leash on you useless. You can only manifest your gifts, and take things in. you cant to send them out. Why would young master Philip leash his heir his daughter? That is not the man I have known. Why did he have you leashed?” he spins pinning me down with a glare. His eyes were no longer blue but orange. What the hell?
So many things running through my mind. How does this annoying ass know my father or what he's like? Who is this crazy ass? Just staring at him he just stares back. “child does not test me I can make you speak if I chose. I am being nice right now but do not test me.” he glares at me.
“When I was six myself and Eris ran out to the training field something about how rough they were drawing me in and I drifted to a couple of wolves who seemed to be taking the sparing too serious. The closer I got the more excited I felt. The rougher they got soon they were tearing at each other and I wanted to be in the middle of it the more excited I became the more violent they became. Eris ran to get our father who scooped me up taking me back to the house. As we got away from the fighting the excitement lessened. Soon it was gone and word got back the two wolves though badly hurt had stopped sparing. Both told my father later they don’t know what happened one minute they were sparing as rough as brothers do since they are brothers the next each wanted to rip the other's throat out. But then as fast as it started it stopped. Father put this to the test a few times deciding whatever magic I got from the winters is causing it. Unlike my sister I can't control the blood lust well she doesn't have a blood lust.” I ramble on Avery stands patiently waiting for me to finish sighing “so father took me to the river coven and asked then to create something to suppress the blood lust.” I shrug. “what happens when you spar and train?” “oh I train in the alpha ring.” “that was not why I created that for the ghryner yithers ohussy.” “um what that last part was not words I have heard before?” max asks but Avery waves his hand at max.
Rushing to me he grabs my arm that has my bracelet on. “what would you do if I removed this cuff?” yanking back “don’t be stupid its spelled on no one can remove it. I thought you wanted to make a call?” “first” he snaps his fingers a mist appears out of nowhere. Once it clears Avery is gone in his place was something else. Dropping to a crouch ready to attack. Glancing around no one else seems alarmed.
“tell me princess what do you see?”
