The Silver Savior

Chapter 7

DYLAN'S POV

"I recommend not leaving until the morning during daylight to leave.  Darkness lurks at night and moves without being seen.  Stay as long as you want as I will be in charge of the pack until further notice."  Sam said to the Elders.

Did she really think she could be the Alpha of this pack?  This was my pack and I'm Alpha.  No way in hell will she be Alpha if I'm here.  She had no right to take my pack over as her own.  A female was never meant to lead a pack.  Especially if that pack was the Silver Legend pack, my pack.  It didn't matter who her wolf was, I wasn't going to let her take my pack away.

"What makes you think you can take the Alpha title from me?  I'm the Alpha of the largest pack in the world and that makes me stronger than anybody."  I told her as she started to head to the door.  She turned towards me deathly slow, staring at me with blank unfeeling eyes.

"I am stronger than you to begin with.  Without your wolf you are even weaker and by putting your pride before even your own mate shows everyone that you aren't fit to be an Alpha.  Until you earn your wolf back and show me that you are a good Alpha I will run this pack."

With that she turned and walked out of the room to god knows where.  Five loud growls brought my attention back to the Elders.

"You are an idiot.  Who do you think you are?  She is your mate and the Silver Wolf!  Your pride and ego has gotten the best of you.  She was right when she said you are not fit to be Alpha.  We won't stand in Sam's way of running the pack.  Show her that you are a good Alpha and we might like you again."  Alpha Zuko snarled at me.

"You will treat her with the respect she deserves.  That girl is one of the strongest I have ever known.  She has obviously been through a lot and doesn't need you to add to it.  Start thinking like an Alpha and a good mate and maybe she'll give you another chance."  Alpha Jasper said with none of the compassion in his voice that is always there.

"What are you going to do now?"  I questioned as I picked myself off of the floor.  I felt weak and slightly dizzy.  It was then that I realized that I was way weaker without my wolf.  Without him I didn't have the strength that I relied on as Alpha.

"We will be staying as long as we are welcome and we feel necessary.  We will be watching you as well. We will not have a little pup like you screwing over your own mate."  said Alpha Mako.  "You are Sam's mate for a reason that is beyond my imagination.  She deserves so much better than you.  I'm not afraid to beat you if you do anything to harm that young lady.  Do not make me or any of my brothers come after you because of your foolishness."  he sneered at me.

They left the room and I was left alone to be taunted by my thoughts.

I had screwed up with my mate so badly.  I know that I screwed up big time, but I can't think of anything that could make it better.  Sam said that I needed to prove to her that I was a good mate and Alpha.  How was I suppose to prove that to her when I was starting to doubt myself?  I knew that my pride was never suppose to come first, but I couldn't help it.  After four years of imagining what she would be like I had a perfect image of what my mate was suppose to be.  I guess those four years of dreaming did nothing but hurt my relationship with my mate.  I never thought that my mate would be hard headed and stronger than me.  Sure I had seen how my mother was always stubborn with my father, but she always followed his orders when she saw them as wise.  I thought that I would be the one to protect my mate and be the one to hold her when she cried or when she needed extra strength.  Boy was I wrong.  

My mate was strong and held herself with confidence and pride.  She wasn't one to make others take on the burden of her feelings.  

I needed to make things right with her, but I wasn't sure how.  I was glad that my parents would be home from the cruise either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

SAM'S POV

When I walked out of the conference room I headed upstairs to check on Skylar.  I needed a way to calm down and I knew that seeing Sky sleep peacefully would lift some of the weight off of my shoulders.  

I felt like crying when I finally reached Sky's room.  On the walk up to her room I kept repeating the events with Dylan in my head.  Dylan hurt me more than anybody ever has.  My parents had always said that my mate would be there for me to give me strength through hard times.  I never thought that he would be the reason for my hard times.  I knew I wouldn't just accept him back if he apologized either.  I had too much self respect to just let him back in without him proving himself to me.  I needed to know that he wasn't a cocky arrogant Alpha who thought himself better than everyone, especially me.  

I walked into Sky's room to find her asleep.  It was around 8 so I decided to get some sleep.  I didn't want to be alone with my thoughts so I crawled into bed with Sky.  I knew she wouldn't mind because I used to do this when I visited her.  

She woke up when I pulled her close to me so I knew she was safe.  She turned around to look at me.

"What's wrong?"  she asked in her soft voice.  

It was only then that I realized I was crying.  I hadn't let myself cry for so long and it felt odd to have salt water staining my cheeks.

"It's nothing.  Don't worry about it Sky."  I didn't want the little princess to have any worries in her life so I tried to play it off as nothing.

"Please tell me.  You've never hid from me.  You promised there would be no secrets other than the ones that involved your wolf."  She was looking at me with pleading eyes that I couldn't resist.

I gave her a small smile before I told her the basics of what happened with her brother.  By the time I finished the tears had stopped, but I found myself feeling drained and hurt.  Who knew that a mate could make you feel this way? 

I know that your wondering why I told this little nine year old about my problems with her brother.  She may only be nine, but I can see that she picked up a lot of traits from her mom.  Sky was a good listener and always offered her opinion on a situation.  She had traits of an Alpha Female and my wolf looked at Sky as if she was our own little sister.  Skylar was observant and payed close attention to people and their feelings.  She felt that it was her job to watch after and help her packmates' feelings when no one else did.

"My brother is just stupid.  He used to talk about what he thought you would be like when you had first left. I can say that you are nothing like how he imagined you.  I have a feeling he lost reality to his imagination.  I think he just needs time to adjust his image of you to how you really are.  My brother has loved you from the first moment he saw you and just needs you to put him back in his place.  He's going to make you see that he's not a bad guy.  He wants to make sure you know him, the real him.  Not the one that acts as an Alpha."  

I hugged Sky tighter as I took in her words.  She was one of the sweetest kids and she brought a smile to my face every time I saw her.

"Thank you, Princess.  I'm glad that I have you.  I love you like you were my own sister.  I'm glad you know your brother so well to."

"Well after living with him for almost ever kind of gives you the chance to know someone."  She giggled into the pillow.

"You should sleep, Sky, it's late.  Thank you again, too.  I love you.  Good night."  I kissed her head as I pulled her into my side with my arms around her.

"Good night, Sammy.  Love you too." she murmured, already half way to dream world.

I found that my head was cleared of the worries of my mate and the packs and the Darkness.  With the little princess in my arms I fell asleep with a smile on my lips.
