Phoenix the Rising Alpha

23

Phoenix POV:

After finishing up our punishments and showered Roswell and I went straight to bed without interacting with any of the other Academy students.

It's not that I dislike any of them it's just I still feel upset from the others blaming me for ruining Roswell and Maxwell's supposed relationship.

Anyways like I said after we showered we went straight to bed, we didn't even eat a full meal, we were to tired.

Unfortunately we didn't get to sleep in the next morning like we had hoped.

A loud thunderous knock on Roswell's door woke us both up.

I heard Roswell groan getting out of bed as I tried to open my eyes. After clearing the my sleepy brain I smelt my father's scent instantly jumping out of bed and running towards the door.

Standing in front of the door preventing Roswell from opening.

'What are you doing'? Roswell whispered yelled at me.

I heard my father growling from the other side of the door.

"It's my father and from his growl he's upset about something". I answered him still blocking the door.

'Phoenix'. I heard my father call out. I gulped trying to understand why my father is so upset, especially since Roswell and I finished our punishment.

I sighed pushing Roswell away from the door and slowly opened it coming face to face to my heavily breathing father.

'Alpha Laurent are you okay'? I heard King Kyrie ask my father from somewhere in the hallway.

'NO'. My father growled causing gasps to come from those around us in the hallway.

'What happened'? I heard a very confused Roswell ask from behind me.

"I don't know". "I didn't even feel my father being in the Academy until you got close to the door". I linked him.

'Alpha Laurent please calm down and tell us what happened'. King Kyrie said calmly.

'Where is this Maxwell'? My father asked.

'Why do you need to know Maxwell's whereabouts'? King Kyrie asked causing my father to growl shaking the Academy.

"Father please calm down". "Where is dad"? I said, asked trying to calm my father down. Unfortunately without my dad when my father is this upset 'for what ever reason', my dad is the only one to calm him down.

'Yes Alpha Laurent, where is Luna Larry'? King Kyrie asked softly.

I can't sense my dad's presence and my father blocked his link so I can't even read his mind or link with Beast, and by the uneasy look on King Kyrie's face he can't read my father's thoughts or link with his wolf either.

"Father what happened"? I asked him softly trying to hold back my fear that something happened to my dad.

After about five minutes of my father's heavy breathing and growling he finally calmed down enough to explain why he was at the Academy and looking for Maxwell.

"How"? Was all I was able to ask before I heard my father cry. The first time I had ever witnessed my father cry and it broke me. It broke me in a way that makes me fear the loss of my mate, mate's.

'King Kyrie, I know you promised Maxwell's parents to watch over their pup, but I never made that promise and as soon as that reckless pup came after my mate, he signed his death certificate'. My father growled out angrily, cracking Roswell's bedroom windows.

I sighed nervously knowing that my father has spoke his truth.

'Father you cannot let him hurt Maxwell, not until you get the full story's. Roswell said. Gasps flew throughout the hallway as my father grabbed Roswell so quick if any of us blinked we would have missed it, and threw him against the hallway wall, squeezing his neck.

'Alpha Laurent, please don't hurt my son's. I heard Queen Isabel say softly. I gasped as soon as my father released Roswell.

'How can any of you just allow some crazy Alpha in here and attack one of you'? 'Well not just one of you, but the werewolf prince'? I heard the voice that my father was searching for.

"Father No"! I yelled, unfortunately it was to late my father already his hand wrapped around Maxwell's neck squeezing just enough to make him gasp.

'You think you can come on my packland and attack my mate and get away with it'? My father growled.

'Alpha Laurent let him answer'. King Kyrie said softly. I noticed every time he spoke to my father he spoke soft and calmly.

'You want him to answer fine, but you better make sure he cannot escape as soon as I release him'. My father gritted out.

I watched as King Kyrie nodded his head, as soon as my father released his hold on Maxwell's neck four royal guard's appeared.

'Now Maxwell explain why you attacked Luna Larry'. King Kyrie said loud enough for the whole Academy can hear him.

I wrapped my arms around my father trying to keep him calm.

'Luna Larry'. I heard him scoff. 'Have you ever heard of a male Luna'? He asked sarcasticly, causing my dad to growl. Before anyone could react I managed to pin Maxwell against the wall, digging my claws into his neck, not bad enough to kill just enough to cause him pain.

"I will not allow a lowly wolf like you hurt my dad". I gritted. 'He hurt dad'. I heard Cypress link me. I nodded my head eternally not wanting to show the others around me.

"What has my dad ever done to you"? I gritted out angrily, loosening my hold around his neck so he can answer. After a few deep breaths he finally answered.

'Your dad did nothing to me, except have you'. He spat out angerly. I sighed and moved away from him after my father tapped my shoulder.

'You hurt my mate, my Luna because we had Phoenix'? My father asked. The instant those words my father's mouth the air around us became thick and cold.

'Alpha Laurent, don't'. I heard King Kyrie say.

'Guards take Maxwell to the dungeon and lock him up'. 'I will contact his parents and inform them he will be on trial for the attack against Luna Larry'. King Kyrie said.

'Alpha Laurent please follow me to my office and explain to me exactly what had happened to Luna Larry'. 'Phoenix and Roswell you are more than welcome to join us'. King Kyrie said, I nodded my head and followed my father and the king towards his office.

I sighed realizing Roswell didn't follow us.

'He'll be fine Phoenix'. 'You have to understand, Roswell and Maxwell grew up together they have a close bond, a brotherly bond and this must be hard on Roswell'. I kinda heard King Kyrie explain. I just nodded my head. In truth I do understand but I also do not understand. If Nezm did something to Roswell's family I would reject him as a mate.

U sighed heavily, feeling pain run through my heart.
