An Angel With A Samurai

Chapter 21

We spent the next couple of hours talking about his kind. I know I needed to talk to him about one of his pack being turned but I needed to understand what I was dealing with first.

"How do you communicate with each other when you're in your wolf form? I haven't heard you speak but I can see your pack follows orders." I asked.

"Our minds are linked to each pack member, when we're in wolf form we open the barrier so we can communicate, it's how I knew you weren't a threat the first time I met you, Bobby told me".

"Can you communicate in human form too?" I asked curiously. "Yep" he gave me a huge smile. Interesting.

He told me the hierarchy of the pack. The alpha, the beta, the gamma. There were warriors and scouts, omegas like Miriam.
He told me about a Luna, a Luna is mated to an alpha and leads by his side. So apparently that's my destiny, I'm not too sure about that, sounds like way too much responsibility and I'm not here to find my destiny, I'm here to find out what happened to Billy.

"How would a Luna rule a bunch of wolves if she wasn't a wolf? She wouldn't be able to communicate?"
"Its unusual for a human to be a mate but ive heard when the wolfs mate is human and accepts their mate then they are marked. Once they're marked they become part of the pack and the mind link opens up".

Sounds a little intrusive and possessive to me.

He told me that he became alpha by default when he was 16 as his parents disappeared, along with their beta and gamma. Bobby was only 6 so Caelan had to take care of him. Miriam did the heavy stuff which is why she is so special to him now.

Apparently the alpha position is either handed down by the previous alpha on retirement, when the previous alpha dies or the position is fought for, as Caelans dad was the alpha and didn't hand it down or lose a fight to him then Caelan doesn't have the same power that he should. Although he's immensely strong still. Imagine how strong he would be if it was done properly.

"A pack without an alpha, Beta or Gamma are completely exposed. Other packs can take control and take over. The life we built here would've meant nothing, I stepped up even though I wasn't ready, my people pushed me to be the man I am today" wow, he really does care about his people. "Our land is rich and the crops we grow are invaluable, a lot of other packs would kill to have it".

"So do you think another pack killed your parents? For your land?" I asked
"My parents aren't dead Morgan, if they were I would've become an official alpha, by keeping them alive the power hasn't transferred to me, the same with Jax and Tye, we have had to do things we aren't proud of to keep us in the position we are in".

I know the feeling.

He explained that a lot of the pack lived in the town and most had just pretty regular lives. There were humans in the town too which is why they had to be careful. 

We walked to the edge of the forest and started making our way in.

"Now you know all about me Morgan, it's your turn."

Gulp!

I felt so safe with Caelan and I didn't know why. We had barely known each other for 36  hours but I felt I could literally put my life in his hands. The strong blue aura that surrounded him probably helped. It meant he was loyal and trustworthy.

Once he hears the shit I've been through, he'll most likely walk away from me. I'm not sure if that's bad thing.
Well here goes..

"When I was 10, my father was turned and killed my mother. My brother Billy saved my life that day. My Granny took us in. Dad kept her away from us, I was about 4 the last time I saw her, she kept talking about demons and my dad thought she was crazy".

"Did you see it happen?" Caelan asked delicately
"My dad kill my mum? Yeah I saw him rip out her heart and eat It".
"Morgan that's awful, no kid should see that" he said sadly
"Please don't pity me Caelan, I'm not weak". I snapped
"I'm not pitying you Morgan and never In all my life would I think of you as weak" he said so sincerely.

"Sorry I snapped" he squeezed my hand and smiled at me.
"My granny was an amazing woman, she actually started our team of hunters with her friend Dez, turns out there are a lot of people around the world effected by vamps and know of their existence and aren't believed. Grannys team takes them in and trains them".

"I've known about vamps all my life" Caelan said "but can honestly say that I never knew about a group of human vampire hunters" he said thoughtfully.

"Well you know now" I giggled.

Caelan smiled at me "carry on"

We sat on a fallen tree still holding hands.
"I was trained by the best. I was determined to not be that weak little girl who cried. A lot. Ever again".

"Well that's true" Caelan smiled proudly. He was so bloody beautiful. Before I could stop myself, I leant forward and kissed him. He kissed me back.
