16. Ignite My Ice Cold Heart

Silas POV

Exhaustion is starting to set into my bones. Aches and pains plague every inch as I make my way up to the medical room the pups are currently being examined in. This feeling of fatigue and pain is foreign to me.

With all of the renovations to the throne room as well as the small medical area within the pack house, it has been alot to get done on top of handling details on Zaden's transfer and making sure the feral she wolf and her family have everything they need.

"We are what she needs" Abraxis putting his opinion into my rampaging thoughts.
"Maybe even a slap on that sweet ass"

The last comment made me smirk and grumble out a chuckle. The thought of my hands running all over her thick curves makes my pulse quicken, adjusting myself in my sweat pants to not be so obvious that my thoughts have been muddied with her images.

"We have not held a proper conversation with the female. Steps must be taken lightly, it is unclear what emotional damages she holds as well as if she is my true mate. The feeling comes and goes." At my words Abraxis is in agreement.

My dreams are filled with so many complicated scenes. One moment I am embracing this beautiful warrior woman in such an intimate embrace. Her hair in my hands and my lips assaulting her body, melts into a flicker of bloody, cries of torture that was flooded into my mind the day I ran after her.

Those must be her memories. I spoke to my parents and beta about the unwilling attack to my mind of all those gruesome pictures and films. We all agreed she somehow unwilling showed me her past in an attempt to stop me in my tracks. She was successful.

Reaching the medical area I can smell the male that she called Jake as well as the children. Taking a deep breath not knowing what to expect. I knock and enter the small room.

The first thing I see is almost comical if I was not so exhausted.

The male is crouching down talking to the small boy. His red hair slightly in his small furious face with balled up fists at his sides pointing at the large male in front of him.

"I want to go back to Mom right now! I'm sick of all these pokes from doctors and stupid questions bring us home!" The child demands with such power I felt it. This boy was a force indeed.

From the corner of the room a very small girl alot smaller than her brother, huffed her annoyance with no intentions of hiding her irritation. Sitting sideways in the recliner she yells across the room.

"Aleric! We can go when it's done! Jeez put some ice on that hot head! Goddess help us all!" Dramatically dropping her arms to hang off the black chair.

" Can I offer some assistance in making this faster?" My voice echoes in the space.

The male or Jake, stands up and walks over to me with his hand out and neck to the side to show respect. Firmly I grab his hand to shake and proceed to move to see the pups frozen in place. Abraxis immediately feels protective and wants to sooth the friction in the air.

"Alpha King Silas I am Beta Jacob Long of the Black Forrest Pack, I apologize for the time it has taken to conduct the exams. The pups have never been to a proper physical and are not familiar with normal pack life" Jake blurts out confident with a hint of caution.

The firey red head walks over and sticks his hands out. Confused at first I took both hands realizing the pup was trying to introduce himself and gave me both hands instead of one.

"Alpha King I am Aleric Rupert Astrid, son of my mom Remi, I am uncomfortable with all these ppl asking Soo many questions. Please let us go home" Alerics voice was strong and never stuttered.

I fought back a smile. He was confident and honestly so adorable. An odd sense of price spread through me. The Beta watching attentively.

"Hello Aleric, I apologize for how this has made you feel this way. This is something we have to do and sometimes we have to do things we are not happy with but must do. Now how about I ask you and your sister all the questions quickly and get this all over with?" I let some of my aura spread, not enough to scare just enough to show authority. The boy nodded and released my hands

The tiny girl has made her way over and followed her brothers actions, I take her teeny hands in my rough large ones. Her eyes so blue and large, filled with fear. She forces a smile.

"Hello Alpha my name is Nora Rain Astrid, I am 2 and my favorite color is Orange like fall leaves. I don't want to be a scardey pup." Nora's words coming out so sweetly.

" How about we get this over with so you can go back to your mom? I won't let anything happen you're safe Ms Nora" Waving in the doctor and giving the girl my hand back.

Mind linking my beta that I will be busy for a bit and to let the others know to push the evening meeting out a week or so. I think some time to process the information my mother is giving Remi and time for the pups to adjust from this necessary intrusive meeting.

Busy with my thoughts I almost missed the sound of Abraxis huff a sigh of contentment. Something about these small beings are relaxing my demonic beast. Melting my cold heart.
