Property of Alpha

Chapter 26: Alex

Chapter 26: Alex   

I open my eyes and find myself still curled up in Hunter's arms. I look down and see the book still in my hands. I sigh.  

I don't know what to think anymore. I'm forgetting who knows what now.   

Hunter knows my parents were werewolves and were killed. He doesn't know that his father was the one who killed them. He knows my brother is a werewolf but my brother doesn't know he knows. And I'm stuck here trying to figure out everything.   

Hunter moves a little and then opens his eyes meeting mine. He gives me a smile.  

"Hey."  

"Hi" I snuggle into him as he tightens his arms around me. I feel so at home in his arms, I never want to leave.   

Why can't things be simple? Why cant I  love Hunter and he love me and that be the end of it? No wolves or mates or lying... Just us.  

"Something is bothering you." I pull back from him, meeting his gaze.   

"What makes you say that?" I move so I am now sitting cross legged on the bed as he sits up and leans agains my headboard.   

"I know we haven't been together that long but I notice things about you. And when something is wrong or bothering you, you take longer blinks like you want everything to disappear when you open your eyes again." 

  Do I really do that?  

"Oh..." I feel my cheeks start to vibrate with heat as they turn a shade of pink. It's so cute how he knows so much about me.  

"So... You going to tell me what's bothering you or am I going to have to tickle it out of you?"   

I can't answer him. The thing that is bothering me the most is that I'm keeping what his father did from him. But you can't tell a person that their dad killed their mates parents. He'll freak! I would freak if I was in his position. But I have to tell him, he deserves to know.  

I open my mouth like I'm about to tell him everything, but no words seem to come out. I'm frozen. Sensing my fear,  Hunter wraps me in his arms, pulling me on top of him with a hug.   

"Hey you can tell me anything..." He kisses my head and I sigh into his chest. Oh God help me.  

I sit up, now sitting on top of him as he leans against the wood of the headboard.  

"My parents weren't killed by some nobody... They were murdered for a reason," I feel hot tears streak down my face but I have to stay strong. He has to know, " The people who kidnapped me... They killed them. They killed my parents."  

"Alex I'm..." I place my finger to his lips and shake my head.  

"No let me finish." He nods, so I continue. "I know exactly who killed them..."   

"Who?" His eyes are begging for answers which makes the pain in my stomach double. It feels like someone is stabbing me over and over again, twisting the knife deeper with every breathe I take.  

"Your father."          

Hunter  

"Your father."  

I hear her but I don't understand. My father? Was this a joke? This couldn't be. She wouldn't joke about this but... It doesn't make sense.  

Alex takes my head in her hands, forcing me to meet her gaze.  

"I wanted to tell you earlier but how could I? I was so scared and worried that I'd hurt you and I didn't want to put you through that pain... But you need to know because... Because I can't stay sane if I keep everything inside. And I was scared if I told you that you would leave me or I don't know. Please... Hunter please say something."   

She is crying more and more, like an endless waterfall of tears. She falls into my chest. And I'm frozen. I ... I don't know what to think or say... What do you say?  

"I'm not leaving you Alex, so please stop crying." She lifts her head, revealing a stain of water from her tears on my shirt. She wipes her tears away and takes deep breathes.  

I can't feel any air in my lungs. I can't explain what I'm feeling. The girl I love parents were killed at my fathers hand.   

"Why?" I ask without thinking. The word just came out. Alex took a deep breathe and then answered.  

"Their Royal blood. They were supposed to take over the pack, but they were killed before they could. Your Dad said that he was going to kill Allen and I too but he was too close to getting found out. I'm so sorry..." She has such sadness in hear eyes, it hurts me to see her in such pain.  

"Listen ok? Well figure this out, I'll talk to my dad..." Before I could finish she stopped me.  

"NO! You can't let him know that you know! He said that if I told anybody he would kill Allen in front of me and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I got him into trouble..."  

I sigh. This was hard to maneuver around. I can't possibly act calm in front of my dad when I know what he has done. How has Alex been able to stay so calm while holding all of this inside of her?    

"I won't say anything to him, but I won't be able to control myself if I see him. He hurt my mate, it's not something I can pretend to be ok with..." What am I supposed to do? Have a discussion with him on why he killed my mates parents? No. That end horribly. "We will figure something out."   

She nodded, still clutching her mother's book she gets off of me. My wolf growling a little wishing she would have stayed on my lap. She takes my hand and pulls me up leading me downstairs.   She stops half way down the stairs, me being almost two feet taller then her since I'm on a higher step. She turns to me.  

"Where do you wanna go? Anywhere. Pick a place and we'll go." She had such authority in her voice now. It amazes me how she can switch that on so quick. She'll make a great Luna some day.

  "Let's stay here. We'll watch a movie or something and order in." She nodded and pulled me down the other half of the stairs.   

I don't know what I'm going to do about my father but whatever it is, at least i'll have Alex by my side.

I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE ENJOYING THE BOOK :) KEEP ON READING!!!
