Phoenix the Rising Alpha

17

Roswell's POV:

Phoenix and I have spent every waking moment together, before and after every class and training.

We eat and even sleep in the same bed together. Midnight has tried pressuring me into mating and marking Phoenix but I am holding back, just barely, but I am holding back.

Over the last few weeks though Phoenix has initiated our kisses, cuddling and even our showers. Yet I've held back because I know after what Nezm has done to him, I know Phoenix isn't ready, but it's getting harder and harder to not make love to him and mark him as mine.

'Mom can I talk to you please'. I asked her as I walked into her office.

'Of course Ros'. She said 'What is it's? She asked me. I took a deep breath and started my bombardment if questions.

'How do you know when your mate is ready for the next step'? 'Is there a sign'? 'Or a signal'? 'Or do I just increase our kissing and touching to find out if their ready'? I asked taking a deep breath before I ask her anymore questions.

I opened my mouth getting ready to ask her more, but she put up her hand stopping me.

'Before you ask me anymore, let me answer you first'. She said. I nodded my head and waited for her to answer me.

'There is no specific time that your mate is going to be ready, they just will be'. 'As for signs and signal's'. 'Your mate will show you when they are ready'. 'The kissing will feel different'. 'The touching will feel different'. 'No matter when it happens just make sure you are both ready'. She explained. I nodded my head and thought back to all those times Phoenix would kiss me, the sparks were more intense than the time before, the electricity that ran through me when he'd run his fingers up and down my body felt almost like fire. I gasp realizing Phoenix is ready for more.

'I see you have just realized something'. I heard my mother say. I nodded my head yes. I couldn't believe my mate was giving me signals and I didn't pick up on them. He must think I'm not interested.

'Oh, crap'. I gritted out.

'Language young man'. My mother said. I just chuckled and walked out of her office in search of my mate. Today we had separate Classes so I hadn't seen him since this morning after our shower.

'You know he is only here until he can prove him self to be Alpha right'? I overheard someone say down a hallway. I didn't pay attention to who was talking or who they were talking to or about.

'Didn't you hear me'? I heard from behind me. I turned to see Max standing behind me looking pu$$ed off for some reason.

'What did you say'? I asked him.

'Didn't you hear me'? He asked me. I shook my head no. Yes I heard him but I wasn't really listening to what he was saying.

'I said every one knows that so called mate if yours is only here to prove him self worthy enough to his two father's that he is good enough to be Alpha'. Max gritted out angrily. I sighed heavily not wanting to argue with him again about Phoenix, but it looks like that's exactly what he wants.

'Max I don't know where you got your information at but your wrong'. I simply explained. Phoenix already told me why he chose to come here to the Academy and it has nothing to do with Alpha training, he said that was just a perk.

'Sure, sure if course you wouldn't believe your friend over THAT mate if yours'. He growled out causing me to growl. No one disrespects my mate.

Before I knew what happened I had Maxwell pinned to the wall, Midnight had forced shifted bearing his canine's, growling.

'Do not and I mean do not ever think it is okay to disrespect my mate'. 'You are lucky you are even still here'. Midnight and I both said in unison. I wanted Maxwell to know, no matter what Phoenix is mine.

'Son let him go'. I heard my father say, but Midnight just growled not listening to him.

'MIDNIGHT LET HIM GO'. Samurai my father's wolf said. Midnight shifted back whimpering, letting go of Maxwell.

'Thank you King Kyrie'. I heard Maxwell say. I ignored him trying to calm my wolf.

'Midnight, it's okay'. 'Dad is not mad at us'. I kept telling him but all he did was whimper sadly.

'Midnight are you okay son'? I heard Samurai ask midnight through our link. Midnight whimpered his reply.

'I am sorry I commanded you son'. 'You we're choking out a fellow werewolf'. 'I cannot have the prince of werewolves choking his own kind'. Samurai explained. I could feel Midnight nodded his head.

'Come on pup'. 'I know it is hard and I am sure Maxwell deserved it'. 'But remember what your mother and I taught you'. Samurai said.

'Yes father, I do'. Midnight answered him.

'Good no go find that mate if yours while I have a little chat with this wolf'. I heard my father and Samurai say in unison. I heard Midnight sigh and turn to walk towards the training grounds to find our mate.

'Father us very angry'. Midnight said.

'I know'. 'But I was angry and apparently so was you'. I told him. I felt him nod his head agreeing with me.

'Let's find our mate's'. He said happily. I smiled and continued to walk towards the training grounds. I hate not being able to watch Phoenix train, but both my mother and father told me it's not the right time for it. That's why Phoenix has his own special training ground, private from any prying eyes. He's being trained by one of my father's royal guard's.

'Mate is special'. Midnight said. I smiled nodding my head agreeing with him.

'That he is Midnight, that he us'. I told him.

After arriving at the training grounds where the other Alpha's in training, train I sat on one of the benches and waited until Phoenix was done.

'Why doesn't the prince ever train'? I heard a young Alpha ask someone else.

'The prince has been training since the day he was born'. One of the trainer's said.

'We never see him train'. A few voices said in unison. I just sighed ignoring them. It is true they never seen me train and that's mainly because my father is my trainer.

'Hey prince of all werewolves why don't you show what you got'. Some cocky werewolf said. I just laughed, shrugging my shoulders ignoring him.

'You really don't want to take him on'. One of the trainer's said.

'Do you even know who trains him'? Another asked. I watched as half dozen heads shook no. I chuckled knowing their reaction when they get told who's my trainer.

'It doesn't matter who his trainer is, I bet I can beat him'. The same cocky Alpha from earlier said. I sighed standing up, debating on whether to walk on the training grounds or just let the trainer's tell them who trains me. That normally shuts them up, once they find out.

'Young Alpha Diamond I wouldn't challenge him if I were you'. 'Especially beings King Kyrie is his trainer'. 'Sabbat, Phoenix trainer said as he and Phoenix walked past the training grounds to stop where I was now standing.

'O'. Was all the young Alpha said, followed by damn if only I could learn from King Kyrie too'. Not the normal reaction but a respectful one.

I laid my arm across Phoenix shoulders and asked him if he was ready. He nodded his head and we walked towards the Academy doors.

'Let's shower'. I said once we reached my room. 'Okay'. He said, stripping off his sweat soaked clothes.
