Chapter 27
Once the coffee is done we all take a sip of the super bitter stale black sludge. “well guess an iceberg cant keep everything” Ambrose says setting the mug down and pushing away from him. We had been so busy we didn’t notice the door open and close it wasn’t until max body snapped straight as his head snapped to the door. Grabbing my arm keeping him standing in place waiting for fallen to speak. Ambrose shoots across the room but was too late to get to the door. Yanking pulling then kicking the door in frustration. Fallen stared at him wide-eyed. I can smell the fear in her. Looking back at us she seems to be doing some math in her head as she then looks back at Ambrose and then around the room to the two open doors. Again looking over at Ambrose. “fallen correct?” I ask she nods “I know you saw a different guy with us but trust me its the same guy long story, not enough time. How did you open the door, and can you open it again?” tilting her head and looking at me oddly she walks over to the door and opens it. Ambrose rushed to exit only to be thrown back.
Sliding down the wall to his ass making an odd hiss sound Freya rushes to him. Laying her huge head in his lap trying to comfort him in ways she has only done with me. Something about him makes her very at ease so I will trust her. As I watch Ambrose as he catches his breath I hear the same grumble rumble of a congested wolf growl. Looking back fallen is staring daggers at my arm where max is almost cutting into my skin. “dude” I exclaim yanking my arm out of his hand and shaking it out to get feeling back in my fingers. “fallen sweetie you have nothing to worry about from me. Max is my beta older brother type. He's my beta so you will have to accept we will have a close relationship but that's all it is friends and family.” His shoulders drop slowly as I tell her in that calm comforting voice father has always used to calm me. “I am sorry alpha my bear she's been so jumping and on edge since y'all pulled up.”
“well, that's because of the black boy dear girl. Come let me look at you?” Ambrose rushes to her causing her to jump max growling and shifting to rush over. Grabbing him I shake my head. He knows as well as I did that if Ambrose was a threat to me or anyone close Freya would eat them. And she made it clear she like the crazy man. “full bear I see nothing special but the potential for a strong warrior. Good head she will make for a wonderful beta female. But she will need a lot of work to get her up to weight her bear is almost half-developed or half-locked away.” he mumbles as he walks around her. I can see the fear in her eyes. “master Ambrose you are scaring the girl. Fallen how about well I was gonna offer coffee but that's not what this is so maybe water and talk. You came here for a reason and we have a few questions.” Ambrose huffs and puffs as he walks away waving his arms in the air and having a silent rant to who knows who. Fallen slowly nods as she takes a seat at the breakfast bar counter. Max leans up against the sink across from her just watching her. Jasmine is smacking Kaleb upside the head telling me he said something annoying. Shaking my head at my cousin. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed but he is a very strong hammer.
“yes, bear tell me why am I bound to this cabin and cut off from my magic here. I mean I blessed this land for your pack to be safe here and now I can't even summon water or speak to Fabel.” shoving max from where he is shooting a look at a very scared fallen. Max rushes to her pulling her to him. An audible gasp from both of them as she melts to him fitting right in his arms. Her paleness makes max look very tan. “do you want free of this alpha young lady?” Ambrose asks. she barely nods, but I saw it. “then we need out of this cabin I need access to my magic. Need the power of the moon goddess and her mate bonds so young black can mark you breaking you from this false alpha. Then I can perform a blood link pack joining then you will be under young alpha Enoy here’s rule.” her eyes shot from max to Ambrose to me. Looking for something I am sure is a gotcha but she won't find it here. “I can't let you out of the cabin until the alpha summons you for breakfast. I came to see if there is something special we could try and create.” “ya cinnybonnies. Can you get me some of those? No. Of course not do you know why?” stopping his rant and tilting his head “ya why are they not available up here?” “as you know master Ambrose this pack is a little out of the normal delivery routes. And I am gonna assume being so far north they don’t get many new items often.” a look of relief covers her face. Ambrose just scuffs and goes to plop down on the couch.
“well that's the first thing I am summoning once out of this room.” he huffs “no” Fallen's small voice comes from max’s chest. “I’m sorry why little one” max coos at her. Rolling my eyes I hop up on the counter. “they don’t that one of you is a witch. I rushed out to rest the ward earlier before they heard the alarm. I saw the shield light just a bit ago and that's why I came out to see if it needs reset then I heard you all talking. And my bear pushed me to come in because the scent of fresh bread was too strong to resist.” her cheeks were a bright red. “I would have never thought you could smell like anything other than dirty gym socks.” with a growl his eyes shoot to me. Smirking I wiggle my fingers at him then blow him a kiss. Both Kaleb and jasmine start chuckling.
“you know if I am gonna ask for your help you might want to know who you are helping. I am Enoy future alpha of the black rose pack. That big mountain is Maximus black future beta of the black rose. This huge silver eyes dork is my cousin and future delta Kaleb hall. This stunning woman is jasmine Wittmen my future gamma. That over there is a pain in the ass that's now going by Ambrose. He's missing a few marbles. And the big black rug over there is Freya.”
Before anyone can say anything I feel a stabbing in my chest. So much burning that I can't breathe. Freya rushes to me covering my face in big sloppy wet licks as I hit the ground having fallen forward off the counter.
The last thing I heard was max’s worried voice calling my name.
