Phoenix the Rising Alpha

74

Roswell's POV:

Watching Phoenix lose his self in what I would call a self induced solitude was extremely painful to watch and feel, well feel if I actually could feel anything from him. Blaze and I noticed that ever since Phoenix left the dungeons he had closed off his feelings and even locked his link from us so the both of us did not really know how he was feeling. Of course it bothered us, but instead forcing him to open up to us, we came up wi5h this surprise to try and show him how much we love and miss him.

I sighed as I waited for Luna Larry and Phoenix to show up.

'Just like you said it'll be okay.' Blaze said through our link. I sighed yes I know everything will be okay, but that doesn't mean that I'm not worried we might cause Phoenix to pull his self further into his self induced solitude, isolating both Blaze and myself from him even further.

Without digging deeper into my thoughts I heard the front door open and smelt the most intoxicating scent I have ever smelt, causing my mouth to water.

'He smells so good.' I heard Blaze link me. Instead of answering him I just nodded my head. It felt as though it had been an eternity since I had smelt his scent.

'We finally get to smell his scent.' 'How long has it been?' Blaze said, asked linking me. I smiled widely and started thinking about how it has been since we smelt Phoenix intoxicating scent.

After thinking for awhile I realize it truly has been a long time.

'Maybe him allowing us to smell his means he's feeling a little better.' I linked Blaze.

'Yea maybe.' Blaze responded.

After greeting and hugging everyone a warm welcome, we all headed towards the backyard where Blaze, and our parents had set up a barbecue & fire pit.

I was happy Phoenix seemed to actually enjoying his self. It has been so long since either Blaze or I had seen Phoenix smile as much he has been doing today in a long time and it made both Blaze and I extremely happy to see him so happy.

'I told you he would be happy.' Blaze linked me. I nodded at his words. I knew that also, but I was still a little nervous before Phoenix had showed up and seemed to be truly enjoying his self. I was able to finally relax a little and as the night progressed and Phoenix was still in high spirits being happy and even a bit lively I was finally able to fully relax and enjoy my evening with both my mates and our families.

Phoenix POV:

I knew my mates was up to something before I was even asked by my dad to accompany him to uncle Jackson and uncle Egon's house. Yes I could still read their thoughts and even felt their emotions but I kept it all to myself. I was trying to get over this feeling that I had gone down the wrong path when I was dealing with those two worthless witches, even though my father had told me he had once done almost the exact same thing when he dealt with the supernatural council and other supernatural creature's that had harmed my dad. I did feel a little better knowing that even though he handled the supernatural creature's and the supernatural council that had harmed dad, he still felt a little uneasy, because according to my father that's not his character,  but sometimes we have to act uncharacteristically to prove a very important point. In my father's case he was proving that my dad is and always will be his most important person. In my case I think I was just trying to prove a point to my self and may be to my family especially to my siblings that had always thought of me as just the baby and wouldn't be anything but a baby.

I sighed once we reached my uncle's house. I couldn't help but feel a little upset, because I felt how nervous Roswell was, and even how nervous Blaze was even though he was trying to hide it by comforting Roswell and reassuring Roswell I would love anything they did just to show me how much they both loved me.

After my dad and I reached the front door i became nervous. I'm not sure if it was my my self that was nervous or if what I was feeling was coming off my mates.

'Ready?' My dad asked me. I just nodded my head not really answering him. I felt really bad for making my mates upset and question our relationship. I mean it's not exactly perfect, well Blaze and I are not exactly perfect, because we haven't really had the chance or the time to have a proper discussion about his cheating and as for Roswell, well we aren't exactly perfect,  but at least we were communicating and we were getting along before all this witch business.

As soon as my dad and I walked into the house we were immediately hugged and welcomed happily before being led to the backyard for what appears to be a barbecue. I smiled inwardly, knowing this was set up by my Uncle Jackson. He had asked me once what i thought was the ideal relaxed and chilled day and I answered by saying a barbecue with all those that are important to me and may be a fire pit as it got colder and just sat around the fire pit enjoying everyone's company.

'How are you doing Phoenix?' I heard my uncle Egon asked me. At first I didn't want to answer him, but I chose that it was time to let go of all the uneasy feelings I have been feeling for so long.

"I am doing a lot better uncle Egon." I finally answered him.

"That's good to hear, young man." My uncle said patting my shoulder before walking away. After walking around and talking to my family and friends , I had decided it was time to apologize to my mates for locking them out.
