Chapter 33

Letting the blackness take me. I feel like I’m drifting or floating. A cool spring breeze feathers across my skin, bringing the sweet scent of moon blossoms all around me. A lullaby dances in the air pulling me closer to it. I can't help but be drawn into the sweet beckoning. The soft tickle of grass runs through my fur as I drift to the ground. I open my eyes to see a silver lite field of wildflowers. The glow was both cool and comforting welcoming me. Taking in a deep breath filing away every scent to memory. Closing my eyes. If this is forever I can be happy I think to myself.
“it would be easier to speak in your human form my child” a powerful voice settles around me. I can't help but obey its request. Shifting. For the first time, I shifted with shorts on. Starting in confusion. Laughing booms around me. Glad I could make someone's day I huff out in my head. Looking around trying to find the source. “just because you can't see me does not mean I am not here.” “so you can see me but I can't see you?” “you see me, every day child. Do you not see me when you shift? Do you not see me every night watching over you?” well fiddle-faddle she has a point.
“I apologize. What do I owe this honor?”
“I do not like what I heard you and your wolf decide. I have blessed this pack for generations to help protect my children. Blessed your bloodline and you are planning to through that away?”
“Why does it matter my bloodline ends with me I have had two mates one died one didn’t want me. I will not take a chosen and force a mating for an heir. So why bother anymore. John is just as strong his line just as old.”
“she rejected you out of fear. But it is your fault she had the fear. You pushed her away.”
“bull shit I did she made it very clear she did not want me to mark and mate her. She only wanted me close so she could heal. So don’t give me that bull shit.”
“you don’t know her story just give it time. Let her tell you her story just be open. But you also need to be available to her not avoid her.”
“I will not force myself on her I’m pretty sure there is something like that in her past I saw the fucking scars. So no I won't make her be around me. I won't be another monster in her life and if that means I am nothing in her life then I am nothing. I don’t know what I did to you to hate me but I apologize can you now send me back so I can pass the pack to john and leave.” I demand I am done I don’t care if she takes my wolf at this point. I can hardly feel him through the pain of losing both mates.
“you leave me no other choice.” was the last thing I heard before it all went black. I can hear john trying to link me I can smell him but I can't talk to him I can't link him I am locked in my body. And I’m in my secret room in my cave I won't be found. So this is how it ends. I hope with all that I am this pack lives on and grows stronger I wish I had been a better alpha for them. I wish had been able to be a mate a father but life just doesn't always like your plans. Listening to them talking about me in the cave he brought wade and amber here with him. He can smell me but can't find me. I can smell salt on amber. Why has she been crying?

I feel horrible for coming at Allison as I did. Then to find out wade’s mates and wills sisters were taken because I found my mate and wills mate was killed in a battle to distract us so they can steal pups from us. I hate this gang of rogues. “my love tells me about everything you know about Brent.” I demand as we make our way to Will's cave. He has to be there he wouldn't go too far from the pack or Allison. She may have rejected him but he is in love with her.
“he's a horrible man. Alpha drew called me to his office one day and told me that I have been promised to an alpha as his mate to strengthen the new alliance. An associate of theirs Brent Clark will come in two days to bring me to the blue moon ball. To which he will hand me over to the alpha who will claim me as his mate publicly. But when I walked in I bumped into you and the whole room see you take me in your arms claiming me and me claiming you. I couldn’t stop myself. At that moment I knew I had to stay near you or else. But to my surprise, Brent just disappeared. I found all my bags left out front of the packhouse.” tears streaming down her face. Stopping I take her in my arms. “I am glad I found you first.” we both smile at each other.
We all shimmy into the cave I can now smell will here “I can smell him here now I just can't find him.” we are all searching. Running our hands on the walls. “amber what do you think they did to Sara and Clara?’ wade whispers. “the feeling I get from talking to Allison today is nothing good. The things she did say though little and no detail I don’t know how she held on for so long I couldn’t have.” we both nod at her knowing she right. We saw the scars we don’t scar so for her to have so many means she got them before 16 and or done with silver. “we have to find Will and talk some sense into him. He has to get her to talk to him. He has to know what happened and she has to know he will accept her as she is.” amber whines out.
“what do you mean?” wade asks as I walk to the back of the cave to let them talk. “I only talked to her for a little bit but I found out her brother did horrible things to her then passed her around to his friends. Then she risked everything to save the one you brought home. She figured out why they were taken and that's why she rejected Will.” she tells him.
“her brother took the twins because I took amber and Will's first mate was killed in that battle by Kim. Brent is Allison's brother so she figured will would reject her. I can't blame her for thinking that I would think that myself.” I tell them when I feel the wall give a little. “hey come here I think I found something.”
