Tiki POV
I told him everything. Going through the last testing and something came out of me and flew me out of there. A mysterious black being carrying me out of the flames. I finished with when Carlos and I traveled through the wilderness until we reached the portal.
It was silence after I finished. He didn't say a word after that, but his face said everything. How angry he was but I don't understand why he is so angry. It's not like he was there himself.
Soon after we came out of the heavy tree cover, we walked on paved road and ahead of us appeared houses. It looked like a village. We made it to the entrance, passing houses and whispers started. Some looked happy to see Zane and the eyes on me were glares and uneasiness.
"What's a filthy rogue doing here?"
"What is Zane thinking?"
"How could he bring such a wild thing into our territory?"
"Let alone to our homes!"
"She's not bad looking though"
The whispers got louder and there is no way they were trying to keep quiet anymore.
"ENOUGH!" Zane yelled out and grabbed my hand, rushing me faster to the bigger house in the back. It looked more like a mansion to me.
He pushed open two tall doors and pulled me inside.
"I'm sorry Tasha, they have no excuse to talk like that right in front of you." He says lowly as he grabs both my hands softly. I shake him off and push him away.
"Its fine, its true I am a rogue and a wild thing since I don't have a pack either." I shrug like its no big deal.
Zane looks at me, "You are my pack."
I pretend not to hear that as he whispers it. It really is true, all I've had is Carlos after the lab burned down. And its not like I can be tied down to one place, at least for now.
We walk down a long hallway with multiple doors on both sides of us. As we make it to the end the hallway Zane pauses and opens double doors and urges me in.
Inside are tall wooden bookcases and a spiral staircase going up to another floor that I'm sure has more books.
"The history books are over there, legends and myths here, the upstairs is forbidden because...
Let's start in history and see what I can find out. I zone Zane out and head of the history books, and there is a lot of them. Let's see, rebirth of the white wolves, Beginning of the gods and goddesses, The first one, battle of the supreme, The death hounds, descendants of the moon goddess. I grab all of these books and start to carry them over to a wooden table when I smell something. No someone, there is someone else in here.
The scent is getting stronger, closer-
BAM! I drop the books, turn around and swing my fist up to a man's face when he caught it just inches away. Wait he caught my fist? No one has ever done that before. I growl and sense something coming. His other hand is curled into a fist and swing for my abdomen but I catch his. He growls back and we both release one another.
I give him no time to reposition himself and go for his jaw and this time I got him. He stumbles back against a bookcase. He recovers quickly and lunges for me. I growl and do the same when I feel an arm around my waist. I'm swung back gently and realize I'm behind Zane. While the mysterious man stops instantly in front of Zane.
"Move." He orders but Zane does not move.
"No, she is my mate. Even if it is you, father. I will fight anyone who tries to hurt her." Zane's voice sounds deeper and a little growl to it.
I step around Zane and look at the man. He does look a little like Zane. I look at Zane which I find is already looking at me. His eyes are glowing red. His wolf must be in control.
I look back at the man, and we stare daggers at each other. Zane takes a step forward.
"She is a rogue, son." The man says. Zane glares at him and doesn't budge
"Tasha is my mate. MINE!" They stare at each other like they are in some mind battle.
Then the man sighs and looks defeated. HE turns has gaze towards me and I frown.
"Your name was Tasha right? I'm Alpha Mark, Zane's father." He holds out his hand for a handshake. But I don't give him mine. I study him carefully. He realizes I won't go for the handshake and pulls his hand back.
"You have quite the mate here, son." He chuckles awkwardly and moves his eyes to Zane.
"She sure is, isn't she?" Zane smiles at me as he says that. God, that smile is gorg- wait what?! What am I thinking?
You can finish that sentence you know. You're not wrong. His smile is gorgeous". Sasha announces.
I ignore her and realize Alpha Mark isn't a threat anymore...at least not right now. I turn and get back to looking at the books. There is silence behind me but I can sense they are both watching me.
"You know, I've never so disrespected before." Alpha Mark comes to the side of me. I ignore him again.
"It wouldn't be so bad to become allies with a powerful Alpha." She pops in my head agian.
"I'm already powerful enough on my own. Besides we have Carlos too remember?"
"He might have some good books to look at in the forbidden area" Sasha reasons
"We can just go there on our own you know." I state but she doesn't agree.
"We don't need more enemies right now. IF you truly don't want to be allies, just pretend for now." She urges me and I finally agree. I mean it can't be that hard right?
"Well, maybe I would if you-"No remember he is a temporary ally. "I mean, sorry Alpha. I just haven't been around very many that have a higher standing then I do. It won't happen again.
"Much better" Sasha peeps in and I roll my eyes at her.
