Phoenix the Rising Alpha

13

Phoenix POV:

I heard the conversation my parents had with Roswell.

Unintentionally I might add.

Anyways as I sat in my parents room I overheard my dad explain to my mate the gift (curse if you ask my dad) that I had inherited from him. The gift that gives me the ability to hear other supernatural and non-supernatural creatures thoughts. The same gift that had me pinning my mate's best friend up against the wall trying to control my anger because of his sexual thoughts of my mate. Thoughts he hadn't voiced out, but thoughts none the less. I sighed heavily hearing my mate and his wolf fighting over how hurt I am, but how I got hurt from something Roswell had nothing to do with.

After his thoughts I now understood why my dad referred this gift as a curse.

"Dad, I'm sorry''. I linked my dad not really explaining why I was sorry but hoped he knew why.

'No son, I'm sorry'. My dad linked back sadly.

I sighed and got up off their bed and headed towards the hall where my parents were still standing after they had talked to Roswell.

"I need to find my mate". I told them both as I closed their door behind me.

'Just be patient with him Phoenix'. 'Remember it wasn't him who kissed his friend'. My father said sternly. I nodded and smiled at both my parents, walking off in search of my mate.

'Listen to your father'. Cypress my wolf said.

"I know I was a coward for running even after I heard mate's thoughts". "Honestly I was shocked that Maxwell would actually go through with his plan to get mate so quickly after I pinned him to the wall". I explained to my wolf as we walked throughout the Academy in search of our mate.

'I wonder if he'll still be your mate after I take what should already be mine'? I heard Maxwell's thoughts as I passed his room.

Growling angrily I wanted to stop and rip his head off but chose to continue my search for my mate.

'We will take care of him later'. Cypress said sternly. I nodded my head agreeing with him.

I had already decided that after I explain everything to Roswell and beg for his forgiveness that I was going to challenge Maxwell. Sounds stupid I know especially since my challenge isn't for a position or anything, but I feel the need to challenge him maybe to put him in his place or just so I can feel better about him kissing my mate. I'm actually not sure what just yet but I will figure that out after I talk to my mate.

Hopefully Roswell will understand why I was so upset and acted cowardly by running away and hid in my parents room.

Sighing I continued to walk towards the dining room where I smelt not just Roswell but also Nezm. I groaned not wanting to deal with both my mate's right now but I knew I needed to talk to Roswell so ignoring the anger that is rolling off Nezm I walked into the dining room. I gasped as I watched Nezm pin Roswell against the wall, both growling at each other, challenging each other.

'You should watch your tone with me pup'. I heard Roswell say causing Nezm to growl even louder.

'Watch who you're calling pup, pup'. Nezm growled causing me to growl.

'Stupid mate's'. Cypress said angrily. I nodded my head agreeing with him, these two are gonna be the death of me if that start getting along.

'I am older than you' 'And it seems to be more mature than you are also'. I heard Roswell grit out extremely close to Nezm's face.

'You know nothing about me'. Nezm gritted out as his reply. I heard Roswell chuckle, shaking his head at what Nezm had just said. I sighed and started to walk towards my mate's before one of them or both of them get hurt.

"Will both of you stop this". I said but not forcefully or sternly. Actually I am mad at both of them. Roswell not so much, because I know he didn't kiss Maxwell or initiate the unwanted kiss. Nezm, well Nezm I'm beyond pi$$ed off at him, he decided I wasn't good enough for him to be faithful too plus him having an attitude that the Moon Goddess gave me not only him as my mate but also Roswell too.

'Phoenix, I'm sorry'. I heard Roswell say sadly.

"It is okay my love". I told him honestly. "We will talk about everything later". I told him.

"Nezm I would appreciate it if you would stop attacking my mate". I told him not mentioning him as my mate too.

'I am your mate'. Nezm growled out towards me.

'Funny how you claim Phoenix as your mate now, but didn't care while you were off sleeping with anything that walked in your path'. Roswell said fiercely.

"Roswell let me handle this". I said wrapping my arms around his waist, squeezing him lightly.

'Okay'. Roswell said reluctantly.

"Nezm yes you are my mate, but you are not my only mate". "Roswell is my mate and while you spent the last few years sleeping through all the packs in our area". "Roswell has saved his self for me his mate". I explained to him sternly and sighed heavily. I hate having to explain anything while I'm not happy but this conversation is overdue.

'I know'. I heard Nezm say sadly. I ignored what he said grabbed Roswell's hand and began walking in the direction towards our rooms.

"We need to talk". I told him firmly once we made it to his room.

'Yes we do'. Roswell replied opening his door wide enough for me to be able to walk through it while he stood in the doorway.

"First off I wanted to apologize to you for getting upset about what happened in here early". I said.

"Second off I wanted to let you know even though I know you didn't expect your friend to kiss you, it still hurt that he had kissed you moments after I left". I said sighing.

"I know it's not my place, well actually it is beings I am your mate". " I want you to stop hanging around 'your friend' alone". I said gritting out the last part.

'Okay'. Roswell replied quickly. I arched an eye brow at him, questioning why he excepted so quickly. He must have understood because he began to explain to me.

'I never felt anything for Maxwell except for friendship'. 'He knew I was waiting for my mate'. 'For him to do what he had done, not only disrespects my mate but also our friendship'. 'He crossed the line'. Roswell explained sternly. I smiled at him.

'Can I kiss you'? Roswell asked and as much as I wanted to let him kiss me, all's I could see his Maxwell's lips on my mate's lips.

"Maybe after a thorough teeth brushing and a deep mouth washing". I told him, patting his cheek earning me a growl. I laughed and ignored him.
