Phoenix the Rising Alpha

27

Roswell's POV:

I woke feeling anxious, yet sluggish at the same time. I know it's because my wolf wasn't near his mate, also because I wasn't with mine.

I sighed heavily trying to get out of bed.

I wanted to sleep in Phoenix room last night and even though I knew he was in his room awake, but refused to answer me I chose to give him space. I didn't want to push him.

'If we would have followed father to his office, our mate wouldn't be mad at us right now'. Midnight complained, blocking the link so I couldn't answer him back.

Even though Midnight knows the reason I followed the guard's to the dungeon.

It wasn't because I was worried about Maxwell.

It wasn't because I didn't want to be with Phoenix.

It wasn't because I needed to be with Maxwell either.

It was because I wanted to know why, my best friend attacked my mate's dad, Luna Larry. One of the most caring and nicest if not the most caring and nicest Luna ever. I wanted to know what possessed him to attack him.

I know my father will get answers soon but I just felt I needed to know the answer right away. Unfortunately for me I don't have Phoenix mind reading gift, which meant I didn't get anything from my now ex best friend.

'If you don't explain yourself to our mate, Phoenix will be our ex mate'. Midnight growled loudly in our link. I sighed and nodded my head agreeing with him.

Actually, I don't think Phoenix will reject me, because Nezm has done way more hurtful things to him, but I might've just been his breaking point. I thought to myself sadly.

'Mom, where are you'? I asked my mother through our link, while I waited for her to reply to me. I finished getting ready for today.

I sighed once my mother replied, even I heard the anger in her voice.

'In your father's office why'? She almost growled.

'I need to talk to you'. I replied. 'Can you come to my room, please'? I begged. I heard her sigh, but didn't answer me.

I could feel the disappointment she has for me. I lowered my head and waited for her reply. Instead of my mother replying to me through our link, she knocked on my bedroom door.

For the first time in my life I am nervous to talk to my mother. Her aura is one I only ever felt once before and that was when another supernatural queen tried to trick my father into sleeping with her. That was shortly after I turned two and my parents were fighting over the littlest thing. As a young pup I thought my parents didn't love each other anymore because of me. But after that supernatural queen tried to take my father from my mother, my parents finally talked about what was bothering both of them and since that day neither of my parents go a day without talking out their issues. I'm hoping I will be able to do the same with my mate. I will do anything to prove to Phoenix he is more important to me than anything else in this world.

I sighed heavily and opened my bedroom door.

'What did you need to talk about'? My practically growled out shaking my bedroom door. I sighed and sat on my bed.

'I wanted to know, how am I supposed to explain to my mate, that the reason I followed Maxwell to the dungeons is not because I was worried about Max, but because I wanted to know why he went after Luna Larry'? I rushed out quickly. I heard my mother sigh and sat down beside me.

'To be honest it'll take him some time to understand why you did what you did'. 'But if Phoenix is anything like both Alpha Laurent and Luna Larry, which I am positive he is, he will understand'. 'Just explain it to him, and then give him space'. My mother told me. I nodded my head in understanding.

'To be honest I was upset with you also, but after talking to your father, I wanted to hear you out'. My mother said hugging me tightly. I nodded again, happy feeling my mother's aura returning back to her calm and peaceful one.

'I just need to figure out a way to explain to Phoenix'. I said sadly. I felt my mother nod her head agreeing with me.

'Maybe you can ask either Alpha Laurent or even Luna Larry for advice'. She said I laughed when my mother mentioned Alpha Laurent I'm sure he's not quite in the mood to help me.

'Maybe Luna Larry'. I said quietly'.

'But I need to try and talk to Phoenix first and if he refuses to talk to me, then I'll contact Luna Larry'. I said smiling.

'Go finish getting ready, and come down for breakfast'. 'After you eat, try and talk to Phoenix'. 'But first breakfast'. My mother said kissing my forehead before walking towards my bedroom door. 'Take your time and try your hardest to explain to Phoenix, remember he can feel if you are lying'. My mother said, with a warning in her voice. I nodded my head knowing that yes my mate could feel as soon as I start lying, which I am not planning on doing. I sighed and finished getting ready.

'Phoenix'.

'Phoenix'.

'Phoenix'.

I called out several times through our mate link without getting a response from him. I sighed and rushed towards the dining hall in hopes to find him there eating.

After reaching the dining hall I searched for Phoenix, unable to find him or sense him , I walked towards our first class in hopes he's in there, still no sign of him. I know he is in the Academy I can feel him.

I apologized to the instructor and continued my search for my mate.

'Phoenix, please'. I begged, calling him once again through our link.

"What"? He all but growled, finally responding to me. I smiled hearing his voice.

'I really need to talk to you'. I whispered through our link. I heard him sigh, but didn't answer.

'Please'. I begged.

"After my lecture". He responded. I nodded my head, but quickly stopped realizing he's not near me and can't see my head nodding.

'Okay'. I voiced out and sighed.

'You better make mate happy'. Midnight growled out.

'I will's. 'I promise'. I told him nervously.
