The Fallen Alpha

Chapter 13: Sloane I

Greenwood Springs, fourteen years ago
Sitting in the living room of a large duplex, was a man and a woman. The man had a huge frame that made him look like a brute. This was coupled with his white hair, sea blue eyes, and chiseled jaw. While the woman sitting next to him was blonde with a nice figure and plump pink lips. But, the standout feature about her, would be her eyes; one was red like a ruby, and the other was green like an emerald.
On the woman's lap, was a little girl with short blonde hair and she seemed to be tapping away on a phone.
"What are you looking for Sloane?" The man asked
"I want to take a picture with you guys" Sloane said "It's for your anniversary"
"Alright, let's take one" the woman said as she took the phone and gave it to the man
"Say cheese" the man said as he set the phone in front of them for a selfie. They all said cheese and he took the photo before giving the phone back to Sloane "Here you go sweetie" he said before kissing her forehead and she smiled
Things were great that time.... Until when they were coming back from the anniversary dinner. Sloane sat on her father's laps as he drove but she had seen it; when the smile on his face had turned to a frown and he had parked the car.
"Sloane, stay in the car with your mother" When her father said this, she nodded. She just never knew that, that would be the last conversation she'd have with him.
When she started hearing the screams from her father outside, she noticed when her mother had chanted some words and left the car. Sloane soon felt sleepy and had fallen asleep in the car. But when she woke up, she was at a hospital in town and one of the doctors in the room with her, had told her what had happened to her parents and said "Sloane, we're sorry..... But your parents....their dead" the words had hit her like lightning that she didn't even know how to react at first. But when they were being buried, Sloane cried until she couldn't find the tears to cry again.

Present Day
Tears drop down from the side of Sloane's face and a slightly large hand wipes the tears away.
Tracing the hand back, one could see Nathan. His body was beaten up and several small lights were moving around on his body sealing any cuts he had.
When the lights were done, a tiny voice could be heard from one of them
"Prince Nathan, we're done healing you but, we can't heal your broken bones" it said
"That doesn't matter. Thanks" he said as he couldn't feel any pain from his wounds. It was like they said; they had healed all of his visible bruises but were unable to heal his broken bones; only able to make it so they wouldn't hurt.
"Should we heal the girl, now?" Another one said with excitement in it's voice. Nathan simply nodded and the little lights dashed towards Sloane and slowly began to heal her.
It had already been some hours since Nathan had defeated Sloane in their fight. It was almost nighttime but, at least they were being healed of their injuries.
Louisa and the others were aiding in the fast recovery of the village. And by the others, I mean Sloane's friends and the other witches that came with the two head alphas.
As for the rest, Nathan could only shake his head in disappointment; He could hear them clearly from where he sat and, they all seemed to be arguing over Sloane and him.
"These guys are such a pain" he murmured and heard giggling. He stared at his shoulder and saw the lights that were once healing Sloane
"Prince Nathan, were done healing the Princess" one of them said as the blue coloured light surrounding it started to disappear and a tiny girl with pointed ears, butterfly wings, red hair and eyes, and a short one-piece dress, could be seen sitting on his shoulder.
Soon, the others around it, began to do the same and a similar sight appeared. Some had dragonfly - like wings while others butterfly wings, while some didn't have wings at all. They ranged from males to females, but what they all had in common, were their pointed ears, and colourful hair and eyes.
However, Nathan instantly ignored the fact that they were on his shoulder and went back to watching after Sloane.
"How did you know she was a princess, Pint?" one of the tiny males, Jab, asked
"Her powers and her memories" Pint answered "Isn't that how we knew the prince was a prince?" seeing her point, the others nodded in acknowledgement
"Can you spirits not have a chat on my shoulder?" Nathan said and they went silent "And aren't you meant to be asleep or something?"
"The witch, Louisa, put a spell on us" one of the spirits, Wood, said
"Yes. She said that whenever we were done with this, if it was still early, and not evening or nighttime, we'd be able to go back to sleep" another spirit, Fox, said and Nathan side glared at them before going back to watching Sloane. A spirit flew in front of his face and stood in the air
"Prince Nathan, are you in love with the princess?" the spirit, River, asked and Nathan shook his head
"But your eyes are always on her" Pint said
"And you're always protecting her" Jab added
"Plus, from your memories, you've changed her clothes before" Fox said with a blush on her face and the other spirits nodded their head
Nathan frowned at this, 'Am I seriously being ganged up on by spirits?' he thought and shut his eyes.....only to open them and see a very small spirit that looked just like a child, standing next to River
"We're not ganging up on you" the little spirit, Pam, said "We're only asking important questions" at these words Nathan's eye twitched; he could tell just by the voice that this was a child
'Are you kidding me?' Nathan thought 'It's like Louisa sent these spirits to torture me'
"She didn't send us to do that. She said we should heal you" Pam argued "You're really ungrateful" she puffed her cheeks and folded her arms over her chest "I'll tell the princess you were mean. I bet she's nicer than you. She really shouldn't surround herself with bad company.......example, you"
"That's it" Nathan said as he swiped his hand and grabbed River and Pam "I've heard enough from all of you"
When the other spirits heard that, they got off Nathan's shoulder and began to attack his hand with their fists
"Prince Nathan, aren't you being a bit too rash?" Pint asked
"She's right. We're spirits. You're meant to be nice to us" Fox said trying to pull on one of his fingers
"Well, I'm a 'Prince'" Nathan said
"We control the weather......and nature too" Wood said
"So?" Nathan asked
"If you annoy us, or the king of the spirits, there'll be catastrophic results" Jab said and there was silence from Nathan for a while. The spirits sighed and were about to let go when they saw Nathan open his mouth
"I don't give a rat's ass" he said and the spirits continued their thug of war with Nathan's hand
"Prince Nathan, let go" River said while hitting his hand
"I don't want to die" Pam cried as tears flowed down her eyes but Nathan said nothing
"Prince Nathan, we'll get mad if this continues" Jab said
"Yeah. We'll get mad" the other spirits cried as they continuously hit his hand but he didn't let go
Suddenly, they heard someone say something but it wasn't any of them
"Nathan?" the person said in surprise. And when they all turned, they saw Sloane with her eyes wide open "What are you doing?" She asked
"Sloane..." Nathan murmured under his breath as his grip slightly loosened
