Phoenix the Rising Alpha

**This will be the first time for Roswell's POV:** **many to follow afterwards**

Roswell's POV:

After the insane scene in front of me I couldn't help but be confused and a little annoyed.

First my mate has my best friend up against the wall about a half a foot off the ground growling at him angrily.

Second his father Laurent commanded him let Maxwell go and when he did he ran towards his room yelling sadly but angrily that nothing will be okay

Third when Phoenix returned with his dad and my mother, his cheating mate began demanding things for Phoenix to answer.

Fourth no matter what was said or not said in some cases I could feel not only my wolf wanting to come to the surface but also Phoenix wolf. In which some point his wolf managed to come to the surface for a quick forced shift, but didn't stay long.

Fifth after everything was said and done Phoenix demeanor seemed to changed and loudly announced we will be continuing our movie marathon. I was happy knowing I will get my mate to myself, but confused because of how Phoenix was acting.

'mate does not like your friend'. Midnight my wolf growled out. I wanted to ask him what he meant but he blocked our link before I had a chance to ask him.

"Come let's cuddle on your bed". Phoenix said next to my ear. Goosebumps erupted along my body, the hair on my neck rose along with my heartbeat.

I took several deep breaths trying to calm myself down. I know Phoenix isn't ready for a physical relationship yet, especially since his 'mate' chose to cheat on him every chance he got.

'Phoenix, what was that all about'? I asked him trying to make small in hopes my hormones will calm down. I heard Phoenix sigh and watched as he shrugged his shoulders letting me know he's not ready to tell me.

'Midnight, my wolf said you don't like my friend Maxwell'. I said . I heard Phoenix growl shaking the bed we are currently sitting on.

'Told you'. Midnight said, blocking our link again.

'Phoenix I can't read your mind until we mark each other'. 'I need to know why you don't like my best friend'. 'Especially since he hasn't said anything to you, and I'm sure neither one of you have met before today'. I explained, asked him. His reply was just another growl. I sighed not wanting to cause a fight between us right now.

'Okay I won't ask you right now, but don't think I won't ask you later'. 'Let's get back to our movie marathon'. I said, wrapping my arms around him tightly kissing his temple.

Phoenix snuggled as close as possible to my chest as we laid on my bed as I believe our fifth movie began to play. A knock on my door brought out a growl from Phoenix and my attention from the movie. Another knock on my door caused another growl to come out of Phoenix. I sniffed the air so I could figure out who was on the other side of my door that was making Phoenix growl unprovoked.

Quickly realizing it was Maxwell I unwrapped my arms from around Phoenix, stood up off my bed and headed to answer the door. Another growl, an angrier growl left Phoenix. I sighed stopping right at my door and stared at my now very angry mate.

'What is your problem'? I asked him as calmly as I possibly could.

"I do not like him". Phoenix gritted out as his reply. I sighed once again trying to understand why my mate hates my best friend.

'Care to tell me why'? I gritted out. I watched as he shook his head no. I chose to ignore him and decided to answer the door.

'Mate does not like Maxwell'. Midnight, my wolf growled out harshly, but if course before I had a chance to ask him why he closed our link once again.

"Why don't the two of you finish the movies". Phoenix gritted out sternly, but I could detect a hint if sadness behind his words. I reached out for him as he walked out my room not looking back.

'Finally'. I could have sworn I heard Maxwell say, but chose to ignore it. Instead I asked what he needed.

'What's up'? I asked him not really caring about his answer. I already miss my mate and wished he would have stayed.

'I know this is supposed to be just you and your mate's time, but I haven't seen you since you came back from your vacation and wanted to spend time to catch up'. Maxwell replied. I nodded my head agreeing with him. I haven't seen him since my parents and I came back from our vacation a month ago. It's not like I chose to not hang out with him, as soon as I got back school started back up and he doesn't attend Alpha Academy like I do.

I sighed and invited him inside.

'Mate is not going to like this'. Midnight gritted out.

'Why'? Was all I was able to ask him before he blocked our link again.

'Damn temperamental wolf'. I gritted inwardly.

'What were you watching'? I heard Maxwell ask me bringing me out of my angry thoughts.

'Nothing really, just random movie's that Phoenix likes'. I answered.

'Can we watch something else then'? Maxwell asked. I shrugged my shoulders not really caring what we watched. The marathon was just meant for me and Phoenix but since he chose to leave and I still want to watch movies I didn't have a movie preference.

'Where'd your mate go'? Maxwell asked. I shrugged my shoulders not knowing where Phoenix went.

'Do you think he to his other mate'? Maxwell asked me causing me to growl.

'No'. I gritted out sternly. Knowing that even if Phoenix is mad at me for whatever reason, I knew he wouldn't run to Nezm, especially after what Nezm has done to him over the past two years. I heard Maxwell sigh.

'You sure'? Maxwell asked me.

'Why are you asking me about my mate'? I asked him confusingly. I watched as he shrugged his shoulders.

'Just curious'. He replied. Something told me he wasn't just curious but again I ignored it and began watching the movie he picked.

'Come closer'. Maxwell said. I just stared at him, but moved closer towards him.

'Mate is not going to like this'. Midnight warned me.

'I'm not doing anything wrong'. I replied just as I felt lips on my lips. Shocked I felt as though I left my body for a moment.

"Oh, sorry". I heard Phoenix voice say sadly, bringing me back to my scenes. I instantly got up and ran after Phoenix yelling his name.

'Phoenix it's not what it looks like'. I yelled.

'Sh*t'. I yelled out.
