my wild mate

chapter 46

Joshs pov

The witch is in front of me crying "what do you plan to do with us alpha? Are we sentenced to death?" She refuses to look at me

"No. You and Mary will answer to the seniors tomorrow. They'll punish you how they see fit, the one and only reason you're both still alive is I promised Samantha I wouldn't hurt you and I will honor that promise but Stuart is sentenced to death, he killed my father a few years ago but then continued his stupid mission and hurt more people. Including my sister in law"

"Alpha I'm so sorry! It was never meant to get to this"

"What was meant to happened then Clara! Tell me"

She starts to cry more and then steadies her breathing and looks up at me

"I was only 19 when I met him. He was a few years older than me. He told me about what happened to his pack and we planned to take it over again but-"

"What? His pack?"

"Yes alpha. Stuart was the rightful heir to the sapphire pack. Carl's uncle killed his grandfather and father to take over the pack. Stuart was so young he wasn't aware of how or why they was killed. When he found out and challenged Carl but they banished him. We decided to leave so he could form his own pack and then take over"

I had no idea he was the rightful alpha. Carl mentioned something about my dad killing his daughter but I still didn't know all the details. "We planned to travel, take in rogues who had no one and make our pack until he could go back and take the sapphire pack. We tried for baby for many years and finally we had our beautiful milly"

She takes a shaky breath and looks up at me. Her eyes filled with a mix of love and anger as she talks about daughter

"She was perfect alpha. The most beautiful little thing I've ever seen. She was just like me but had her fathers bright green eyes. Only being half wolf we never knew if she would have a wolf. She turned 18 and nothing happened we just gathered she wouldn't shift as most people who are only half wolf don't shift as you're aware"

I nod in response. Irene is only half wolf and she doesn't shift but she has the strength etc of a wolf.

"A while after her 19 birthday she shifted!" Clara has a huge smile "her wolf was just as beautiful as her human form. She was a medium sized wolf, she had thick beautiful brown fur with her green eyes. She went out running and come too close to your boarders. She tried to explain but your father wouldn't listen to her"

Her eyes swirling with the people, they're filled with anger, pain and sadness.

"I do not blame you for her death alpha josh, that was purely your father and no matter what you think of him I see him as a cold hearted, evil monster who sliced my babies throat!"

"Clara I'm sorry. I didn't-"

"It isn't your fault josh, sorry alpha josh. Stuart organised the attack on your father and I'll admit I helped. I wanted the man who took my sweet baby away from me to suffer the same fate as she did"

She's crying more now, she slows her breathing and after a minute she calms down

"After stutart learnt you had taken over he wanted you to be dead as well. He wanted to destroy your pack by taking you and your beta away and watch it crumble. I tried to talk to him, I said we had killed the man who took milly and it wasn't your fault. You had no part in it but he he didn't see it like that"

"I understand why he's angry Clara I don't know what I would do if someone hurt my child but the closest I have of that is he killed my father and I've watched my mum suffer everyday since and for that he will pay. I promise you"
