Mates with the Alpha

Chapter 7

POV: Storm

Zach, Sam and I followed Rose home just to make sure she was safe...and I also wanted to know where she lived. Yes, that sounds very creep-stalker-like talk, but I can't help it. I can't loose her. I've met her before, but now that I actually know her, even if it was for a day, I can't loose her.

I will not let another female die on my watch. Not again. Never.

Flashback

"STORM!!! HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!" Mikaela screams. I only hear her, I can't see her. Please. Please don't let this be happening.

"Oh, Storm" a voice says directly behind me. That voice. I knew that voice. That was the same voice that killed my mother and my father in front of me when i was only 8.

"Jacquelyn" I say before I turn around. When I do turn, I see my mate struggling in one of her minions' arms. "Let my mate go, she had nothing I do with this. Just let her go...take me instead...kill me." I beg, I even hold out my wrists in an offering

She made a disapproving tsk sound with her tongue and nodded toward the minion who brought a knife out of his back pocket. "Now what would I accomplish if I killed you? No. I don't need anything from you so don't ask. I just want to teach you a lesson, a lesson you deserve for thinking you could try and kill me. You need to learn that life isn't perfect, you made my mate, my family think I'm dead. And for that I will ruin you. You will learn what life is like without your mate or family."

"No! Please! Please don't do this!" I scream as I see the man lower the top of the knife to Mikaela's vein, which is pulsing widely on her neck.

"Karma's a bitch." Jacquelyn said with an sadistic smirk on her face.

"Storm, I want you to know that I love you and-" Then before I could react more of the men from her pack jumped out of the forest onto me as I watched the man bring the knife down to Mikaela's vulgar and make a quick slash, before I could hear the end of her sentence.

"Love is weakness, and you will thank me later for helping you rid your life of it now. At least that's the crappy speech you told me."

Jacquelyn laughs and walks away as her men let me go. I crawl over to my mate, to her covered in blood. Ghost white. Dead.

I feel the mate bond shatter along with my heart and everything I've ever cared about. It's all gone. I subconsciously hear my clothes tear and my wolf howl for the death of our mate. Our Luna.

Flashback over.

And as I replay it back in my hear I know I will never hear it again. I'll never hear my mate's lovely voice again.

But the strange thing is that I never thought about Mikaela when I was with Rose. And I think that's what I like most about Rose. She never pried into my life, never asking to many questions about me, she was just simply there. And that itself just made me feel better.

"Alpha, we should lay low for a while. Just in case she should happen to come out." So we changed into some spare clothes that we brought alone with us since our clothes had ripped when we shifted in a hurry. For the next few hours we just sat there talking about tedious things.

That was until we heard the sound of a piano and an angelic voice sound throughout the house causing my wolf to instantly relax. I feel the same thing happen to Zach and Sam. My wolf was begging to get out and go towards the sweet sound.

As much as I tried to resist I felt my wolf win over when my clothes ripped and a howl of joy sounded throughout the air. I walked out of the bushes to see Zach and Sam already sitting at the back door of the house, looking depressed.

What's wrong? I mind-linked them, but all I got back was a whimper. I quiet and listen. The words seem to float through the window and out into the open air for all to hear.

"I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound"

Her song broke my heart. And I wondered not for the first time, who is she afraid of?

"Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and-"

And then all the sudden the music stops. I look around for the cause of it and see a car pull up in the driveway. I knew it was Rose that had been singing only moments before and her voice was so melodic and angel-like that it had made me forget about everything even what was happening around me.

Why did she stop?

We run back into the bushes and hide to see who will get out of the car. As the man opens the door from the big black Ford truck, I almost stop breathing.

I know who that man is.
