Phoenix the Rising Alpha

Phoenix POV:

It took until dinner time before I ran into Roswell.

I was nervous to ask him if he would sit by me so we can talk over dinner. Thank the Moon Goddess he agreed, but chose a table further from the rest of the Academy students.

"Before we start I wanted to apologize for avoiding you these last few days". I told him, staring at him to see his reaction from my apology.

'I accept your apology, but know that I allowed you to avoid me because my mother asked me to'. 'You have to know I have waited three years for my mate and vowed that once I found him/her I wasn't let them go'. He said sighing afterwards.

I felt guilty for avoiding him.

'Mate is good'. I heard Cypress say happily.

"Like I said I'm sorry". "It really wasn't anything you did". "I was just really confused beings I already have a mate". I explained to him causing him to growl.

'I know about that mate'. 'I was helping my mother in the office when your father Laurent called'. 'I tried not to listen in on their conversation, but hey werewolf'. He said shrugging his shoulders causing me to chuckle.

"Yea". I said amusingly.

'I will try and accept that you have another mate'. 'But just know if he mistreats you while you are here, I will end him'. Roswell said sternly. A shiver ran down my spine, but not from fear though. I sat confused trying to understand why his demanding tone has this kind of exciting affect on me.

'Let me introduce myself properly'. 'I am Roswell Princeton of the Royal werewolves and your mate'. 'My wolf's name is Midnight'. Roswell said sticking of his hand for a hand shake.

I excepted his hand intending to shake it, but I gasped the moment our hands touch. Jolt after jolt of electric currents ran through my hand, up my arm and coarsed throughout my body.

"N...ni...nice to meet y.. you". I replied shakily, I shook my head trying to clear it a little. I cleared my throat and shook his hand and introduced myself.

"Nice to meet you Roswell". "I am Phoenix BlackStone'. 'My wolf's name is Cypress". I replied. Hand and body still shaky from the electric current still running through my body.

'Let's finish our dinner so we can go and talk somewhere else'. Roswell said not taking his eyes off of me. Unable to find my voice I just nodded agreeing with him.

We sat and finished our dinner in complete silence, but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence. It was just thought filled silence. I sighed eating my last bite of food.

"I'm full". I groaned out I heard Roswell chuckling as he stood up for his seat. I followed him standing up and taking my plate towards the kitchen. He grabbed my arm stopping me. Confused I stared at him.

'Where are you taking your plate'? He asked. I looked down at my plate, then at his empty hands and for a moment I was still confused then remembered I'm not at my pack. I sighed and answered him.

"To the kitchen". I replied. He chuckled and said we have housekeeper's that clear the dinning area'. 'Leave your plate on the table'. He said. I thought about it for a moment, but decided to do as I always have done, which is take my plate to the kitchen.

"That's okay, I will take care of my own dish". I replied walking towards the kitchen, leaving a stunned Roswell.

When I reached the kitchen I asked where I can place my empty plate and a rude looking man scowled at me but said nothing. "Okay then". I thought to myself.

'The sink is located in the next room, just go through those double doors'. I heard a barely audible soft voice say somewhere in the room. I nodded my head and walked towards the double doors.

I heard foot steps behind me but I ignored them. But his words made me jump and my wolf to growl in my head.

'You should not be in here, this is our workplace'. Gritted out the voice. I continued walking towards the sink ignoring his rudeness.

'Did you hear me boy'? The voice gritted out while he grabbed me. The plate I was carrying fell on the floor and shattered. 'See what you did'? 'This is why you pup's are not allowing in here'. He all but yelled at me, pushing me aside and tried to walk away. This time it was my turn to grab him. His face showed the shock that the others in the room gasped out. I ignored them and walked as close to his ear as I possible could and whispered in his ear, slightly louder than I should have, but I wanted the rest in the room to hear me as well.

"First off do not just grabbed anyone, especially if you DO NOT KNOW THEM". I said emphasizing the last part. I could feel Cypress trying to crawl his way out, possible even shift. I held him back and finished saying what I wanted to and leave the room before my wolf breaks free. "And secondly my parents raised me with matters, you however seemed to have lost yours". I gritted out let go of him and walked out the kitchen sink area. To my surprise Roswell was standing in the sink area with his plate in his hand, maybe that's why the kitchen workers gasped. I nodded my head towards him out continued to walk out the room.

I heard heavy footsteps behind me, the static electricity surrounding me told me it was Roswell. I stopped walking and waited for him to catch up with me.

'I think you scare him'. Roswell said. Guilt instantly ran through me. I've barely been here a week and I'm already causing problems.

I felt Roswell pat my back before linking our fingers together. We began walking towards our rooms.

"I'm sorry". I apologized softly. My parents are going to be upset with me, especially my father.

'Hey don't worry about it'. 'It was just a plate, and besides you did nothing wrong'. 'Mac was the one that grabbed you, causing you to drop the plate'. 'I watched as you walked towards the sink, staying out of the kitchen helps way, not bothering them'. Roswell said. I nodded not sure what to say.

As soon as we reached my room, I sighed and walk in followed by Roswell, moments later King Kyrie was at my door. I was nervous, but opened the door after he knocked on it. I gulped but said nothing.

'If he demands anything, we are going home'. Cypress gritted out at me. I nodded my head internally and told him he's probably here to send us home anyway.

'Phoenix care to tell me what happened in the sink area'? King Kyrie asked. I sighed getting ready to tell him but Roswell beat me to it.

'Don't dad, he did nothing wrong'. Roswell slightly growled out.

'I didn't asked what he did, I asked him to explain what happened'. King Kyrie growled out at Roswell. I gulped nervously and explained everything to him.

"I took my plate towards the kitchen, because back at the packhouse that's what my dad had us do after every meal even though we had Omega's that cleaned up the packhouse". "I know this is the Alpha Academy, but if I left my plate on the table it would have bothered me, because I left my dirty dishes for someone else to clean up". I explained taking in a deep shakey breath. "I couldn't find the sink in the kitchen, but a soft voice told me it was in the next room through the double doors, I walked in that room to place my plate down by the sink, but one of the workers grabbed my arm causing me to drop the plate". "After he scolded me for dropping the plate, I did everything in me to not let my wolf out, and calmly, but sternly explained to him to never grab just anybody and I told him my parents raised me with matters, but somewhere he had lost his and walked out the room". I finished explaining taking deep breaths.

'As I thought'. King Kyrie said.

'Like I said before Phoenix, I know your parents very well, and knew how they had raised their pup's'. He said. I nodded my head not saying anything.

'Do not worry about the plate'. He said walking towards my door, looked over at his son nodded his head and left.

'Wow'. Roswell said, wrapping his arms around me.

Wow indeed. I thought.
