Phoenix the Rising Alpha

48

Larry's POV:

Phoenix has pretty much closed his self off to every one including me and his mother. I know that he's not doing it on purpose and is actually trying to make it look like he doesn't care about any of us in hopes to getting close to that she-wolf to she'll bring down her shield.

It surprised me when both Phoenix and his mother said they couldn't reach her inner walls, especially since one of their specialties that they both share in mind reading.

I gritted my teeth hearing how broken Phoenix was when he finally decided that the only way to get close enough to that she-wolf is to allow her to get close to Nezm/Beast. It took almost a week to convince Roswell that this is the only way to not only save Nezm/Blaze but also Meridia's twins. Of course he put up a fight and was against every plan we tried to discuss with him, and truly who could blame him, but after Phoenix shared the images of what happened back at our pack house and explained that what he had seen was only planted to try and find the one responsible for Nezm/Blaze's condition he reluctantly agreed. Angerly I might add.

It looked like our plan for Phoenix and the she-wolf to get close started paying off. After about two weeks or so of her visiting with Nezm/Blaze her walls started to fall apart, unfortunately not as fast as we would have liked but at least it's working. Phoenix was able to locate Meridia's twins, but not the warlock behind all of the and the reason he is doing all this in the first place.

After we had rescued Meridia's twins her husband reluctantly agreed to also help us. Again I understand why he is so reluctant to help us especially after his twins were pup napped, but like Meridia had explained to him, that if they don't help us now, that who knows who the warlock would target next.

He didn't know that, that she-wolfs nameless guards were actually falsely being used for both that she-wolf and the warlocks pleasure. They both knew that if that she-wolfs nameless guards were to be captured they would be place in the dungeons until everything else was settled than they would be dealt with, but because Phoenix had a feeling something was off with those guards and after he read their minds and found out the truth they are being left alone except the occasional angry words thrown at them just so neither the she-wolf or the warlock became suspicious.

With Meridia's explanation he was able to gather all of his allies to also help us locate the warlock. Unfortunately no one has found anything and my poor pup is becoming more and more depressed, pretending to be nice and friendly to the one werewolf he hates most in this world.

'Help me'!

'Is anyone there'?

'Wait where am I'?

'Where is my mate'?

'No, no where are my mate's'?

'Who is this'?

I kept hearing over and over again, but couldn't quite figure out who was asking all these questions. I had asked Phoenix if he had heard the voice also, but he just shook his head no. I sat in the Queen's office trying to contact the voice and ask it questions, but after the last plea from the voice everything seemed as it was before.

My poor pup, depressed and anxious. Roswell doing his best to not only console Phoenix but also give comfort to Nezm/Beast, while trying to control his wolf to not rip the she-wolf apart.

Over the last few weeks it has been hard for him to control his wolf, and any body, supernatural or not would feel the same way he does.

'Dad, how much longer'? 'I can't take this anymore'. Phoenix linked me, finally after I don't know how long. I sighed and before I could answer him, the she-wolf barged into the Queen's office where I am currently sitting and started ordering me around like she's, well the Queen.

I just stared at her like she had grown an extra head or she had lost her mind. I'm not sure why she thinks she has any power to order a Luna around, but she's trying.

'What the h*ll'? I heard Laurent grit out. At first I thought he was still with the King, so he must have linked me, but a sudden intoxicating scent hit me hard. I smiled, well actually more like smirked knowing my Alpha mate was here too. I watched as the she-wolfs face was draining of all it's color fast. I wanted to laugh but didn't.

'WHO IN THE H*LL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE COMMANDING MY MATE'? 'HUH'? 'JUST BECAUSE YOU MANAGED TO PLACE A SPELL ON EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS CASTLE TO DO YOUR BIDDING DOES NOT MEAN MY MATE WILL'!!! Laurent growled out angerly shaking the Queen's office, cracking not only her windows but also her door. I just shrugged at the thought of her having to replace them. The Queen and King already knows Laurent does not play around when it comes to his mate, that being me and our pup's, one of which is Phoenix.

I sighed when I heard the she-wolf confidentiality talk back to my mate.

'I will be the new Queen soon'. 'So you might as well start listening to me now'. She said smirking. I gasped as I watched my Alpha wrap his hand around the she-wolfs neck, lifting her off the ground, while holding her just a few inches from his face.

'Now listen her you useless she-wolf'. 'I have given as much as my patients to you as I am willing too'. 'Keep that smart mouth of your's talking and you will find out the links I will go to protect my family'. 'ALL OF MY FAMILY'. Laurent gritted out throwing the she-wolf on the couch. I sighed once again knowing no matter how pi$$ed Laurent is, he is trying to control his self, just until Phoenix can get more info from her.
