Phoenix the Rising Alpha

28

Roswell's POV:

It's been a week and Phoenix still has not talked to me or allowed me to explain to him why I went to the dungeon.

I had tried everything including calling out to his wolf Cypress. Midnight is the only one allowed to talk to his wolf. I feel hurt that Phoenix is ignoring me but I can't blame anyone but myself.

I sighed heavily as a tear rolled down my cheek remembering the ache Midnight my wolf felt being ignored by his mate because of me.

My poor wolf feels rejected without being told he is being rejected.

After countless, useless, failed attempts to talk to Phoenix I realized that even though he can openly read my mind and know my true intentions as to why I went to the dungeons in the first place. I'm gonna need someone else's help, to get my mate to talk to me, but not just anyone. I'm going to need Luna Larry's help.

I sighed heavily knowing I am on a path not to just redeem myself for a huge misunderstanding which I did not realize I was making at the time, but also show my mate that he is truly the only one for me.

My father thought it was funny watching me suffer until I started snapping, well actually my wolf started snapping at anything and everyone that came near me, but especially if they were getting to close to our mate.

'Roswell stop'. My father growled for the thousandths time today. I sighed and tried to control Midnight from force shifting.

'What is wrong with you'? My mother asked me. I ignored her and walked towards my room blowing off yet another school day.

'Your mother asked you a question'. My father growled out cracking the nearby windows in the hallway. I growled internally and turned towards him.

'Nothing is wrong mother'. I spat out loud enough for my mother to hear me, who hadn't followed my father and I through the hallway.

'Roswell, you have to learn how to calm yourself down when you get angry'. 'You the prince of the werewolves, not just a simple werewolf'. My father said almost to quiet for others to hear, but I was able to hear his every word.

'I know'. 'It's just that Phoenix has yet to let me explain to him'. 'It's making Midnight go crazy'. I explained to him my frustration.

I felt two very strong arms wrapped around me. I was shocked for a moment, but quickly relaxed enjoying being in my father's arms. Something that I haven't felt since I was a young pup.

I heard Midnight purring happily, making me smile and my frustrations melt away.

'Maybe talk to Phoenix parents'. My father suggested, pulling away from the hug. I nodded and continued walking towards my room.

I think it is time I ask Phoenix' parents for help. I sighed heavily once again, and walked into my bathroom to start my shower.

'I miss mate'. Midnight my wolf howled, whining sadly in my head. I nodded my head agreeing with him.

'Me too Midnight, me too'. I replied to him just as sadly.

Honestly I never thought my stupid actions would tear my mate away from me, even if my actions were not meant not to hurt my mate but to find the reason for Maxwell's stupidity.

Speaking of Maxwell, my father has kept him in the dungeon this whole week trying but failing to get ahold of his parents. I have asked what my father will do if his parents do not answer him soon and his answers surprised me.

My father told me he is going to allow Alpha Laurent to set Maxwell's punishment and if his parents refuse to take his calls he will remove them as the Alpha and Luna of Stone heart pack. I was shocked at first because my father, even though he is king of the werewolves, he has never stepped in and removed a Alpha or a Luna from their pack. He has always allowed the pack to decide the fate of the pack leaders.

I guess when it comes to trying to be a great King and a great and fair ruler it is best to stay as bias as possible until you are absolutely needed by those that need you.

Finishing up my shower a knock on my door brought me out if my head. The scent was one of my father's personal guard's.

I hurriedly got dressed and answer my door. I stood and waited for the guard to speak. I watched as he gulped and then handed me a letter before hurrying away from my door.

Quickly I opened the letter and stood frozen on my spot, as I read the letter over and over again.

My Dearest Mate:

I know you never meant to hurt me, that is not in your nature.

But I still felt betrayed.

I have asked King Kyrie for a leave of absence while I try and work out my heartache.

I truly want to forgive you, as I have read your every thought, by right now my head and wolf are against each other.

Please allow me this time to work on being able to get past this pain, before we both regret a harsh decision we would make.

Please understand that even though I know your intent was not to hurt but rather to find out the reason behind your friends actions, I still need to be able to learn how to trust that not every action is a betrayal.

With all my fated love, yours Phoenix 💕

I couldn't understand how we went from a happy couple, to not even sparing each other a friendly glance, to him leaving the academy.

Pain shit throughout my body.

Midnight tried to force shift and go after our mate, but with so much energy draining strength I stopped my wolf from shifting.

'No Midnight'. 'I know it hurts, but we have to give him time'. I told him.

'No we don't'. 'We have waited weeks and he ignored us'. 'Now he is leaving'.

I sighed once again and tried to picture my life without my mate. Will he ever truly be able to understand not every action is an act of betrayal?

'I'm going to talk to father, and then I am going to call and talk to Luna Larry'. I told my wolf. I felt him nod sadly, as a tear slipped out from my eye.

I will do anything to prove to my mate that I will never betray him, and that I truly do love him. Not just because we are mate, but because of him, himself.
