The Small Whisperer (BoyxBoy)

CHAPTER NINE

POV: SAINT

Yesterday had been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. From moping around after being told harsh words by my mate to getting attacked by a crazy woman, to staying in his house and wearing his shirt. I shiver as I sniff his shirt that I was still putting on. I giggle as I rolled on my back, staring at the ceiling. I laid on my bed as I thought about the talk we had yesterday in his study room.

I couldn't help but look at things from his point of view. Loosing a mate is something that affects us a lot, even after their death. So I kinda get where he's coming form, Or maybe I can relate because my mom lost her mate? I just hoped we would grow from friends to officially mates. Maybe he needs time? I don't know. I need to focus on the positive side, for my sanity.

My mom and Mateo had came by in the morning to see me. My mom was really worried about me but I assured her there was nothing to worry about. Jackson wanted me to live here so my mom had packed all my belongings with her. In his words, "incase of future dangers." I was happy that I get to live with him but sad that I'll leave my mom all alone. My mom and I talked about it and she told me I shouldn't be, that she'll be fine. Apparently, she made new friends so there was nothing to be worried about.

Jackson told me the woman who attacked me was going to be questioned later in the afternoon and I told him I would go with him. I really wanted to know who and why someone wanted me dead.

We were currently in his office with Chris and I was anxious waiting for the guards to bring her in. She came in with her hands tied behind her back and two guards beside her. She had a blank look on her face, her eyes cast downwards. Looking at her, she looked so innocent which made me more confused and anxious.

"Did she say any useful information while in the cell?" Jackson's deep voice questioned the guards.

"No alpha, she has been like this ever since she re-gained consciousness" one of the guards replied.

"You work as a nursery teacher right?" Jackson asked. She nodded, her eyes still casted downwards.

"I want you to tell me who and why they sent you to kill Saint."

"It's the v-voices alpha, they keep whispering his name saying I should kill him" she answered this time she looked directly at me for some seconds before looking back at the ground.

"Not this again. What voices cause I'm lost here and you're not helping your case" Jackson said with a stern gaze.

"I really can't explain it, it's like a child whispering in my ears telling me to kill Saint" she said, sweating. And it wasn't hot in here.

"But you don't know me, why will they tell you to kill me specifically?" I couldn't help but ask. The more she talks, the more everything gets complicated.

"T-they keep saying you kill-" she stopped as people barged inside the office. Samantha, Delta Sam and two other women I didn't recognize entered the office. Our attention went to them as they entered, one of the woman went to stand beside Chris while the other stood beside Delta Sam. I'm guessing they're their mates.

"I heard what happened yesterday Jackson, is this the woman?" Samantha asked and Jackson nodded. "Are you okay Saint?" She asked looking at me with concern in her eyes. I gave a small nod.

"I asked Evelyn to come just in case since they both worked in the nursery" Delta Sam said.

"I know her alpha, she's a nice woman and takes care of the children well. I really didn't know she could do something like this" Evelyn said looking at the woman.

All our attention were now directed at the woman again who was now shaking frantically. Her eyes where looking at everyone, moving from one person to another in fear. What is wrong with her?

"T-the v-voices alpha, they-" that was all she said before she gave a loud shout and slumped.

She was dead.

*********

The office has been quiet after the woman's body was taken away. I couldn't think properly, what just happened? The woman was dead just like that?

"What voices was she talking about? As far as I know, she isn't mentally unstable. She was perfectly fine. I really don't understand it" Evelyn was the first to speak, breaking the silence. I looked at Jackson, he was deep in thought.

"Is it possible that there may have been use of magic?" It was the other woman beside Chris who spoke. I didn't know her name.

"Magic? There are no witches in the pack though, how would that be possible?" Samantha asked.

"But that would explain a lot. I mean, if what she said was true then voices whispering to her isn't ordinary" This time it was Evelyn.

"I'm very sure the guards at the borders would have notified us if any witch attempted to enter the pack but just to be sure, I'll check in with them" Delta Sam said.

"We still can't assume it was magic, it could be she wasn't really well. Maybe she started to show signs recently" Chris reasoned.

I leaned more into his opinion because witches? Not that werewolves didn't know much about witches but we didn't really associate with them. Witches, vampires, warlock, faires etc, all keep distance away from one another. We don't really familiarize with them. So to have one of them manipulate a pack member into killing another was big.

Jackson finally spoke. "Sam, check in with the guards at the borders if there was any suspicious entry. Evelyn, ask around in the nursery school if the woman exhibited any strange actions recently" They both nodded and walked out of the office.

"I don't know what's happening but the witches better not have a hand in this. I won't be merciful" Jackson said looking at me. I held eye contact for a few seconds before looking away when Samantha spoke.

"I'm sure we'll find those involved in this. I the meantime, Saint please be careful. We don't know how many of them have been sent towards you" she said, causing fear to run through me.

The fear must have been visible on my face because she spoke again, walking towards me and resting her hands on my shoulder. "I didn't say that to make you afraid, just be careful so you don't get hurt" she said gently.

"He's staying with me, I won't allow that to happen" Jackson said, with a determined look, making my body tingle.

"I know you will. You both be careful, I'll take my leave now. Make sure to keep me updated so I can help when I can" she said.

"Thank you" I muttered. She has been really nice since I met her. She nodded and left, leaving Chris, his mate, Jackson and I.

"Soooo, are you his mate?" she said nodding towards Jackson.

"You told her?" Jackson whisper-yelled at Chris.

"What? You didn't say I shouldn't tell anyone and she's my mate" Chris said defensively. Jackson sighed.

Didn't he want people to know?

"I would have still known honestly, I noticed how you looked at him" she said to Jackson, who looked back at her with confusion. "I'm Lynn by the way, Chris' mate" she said turning to me and stretching her hand.

"I'm Saint, uhm, Jackson's mate" I said shaking her hands.

"He told you to call him Jackson? Wow, I thought only I get to call him Jackson" Chris said with a small pout. Jackson rolled his eyes.

"Let's be friends. Feel free to talk or ask about anything okay?. May I add that you're handsome" she said smiling widely.

"Alright Lynn, let's go now. Come give your mate some attention" Chris said pulling her to his side. Lynn only chuckled.

*Alright you both get out of my office" Jackson said shooing them.

"Fine Mr alpha, you'll see me often now. Bye Saint and please be careful alright?" Lynn said and I nodded.

"I'll keep you updated if I get any new information. See you man." And with that, they both walked away, leaving Jackson and I.
