My Alpha

Chapter Four

"Jeremy?" I ask.

Dad and Jeremy both turn toward me and Liam squeezes my hand.

"Jeremy why are you here?" I ask a little bitchy.

"Let him explain," dad steps up and says.

I put my hand that isn't holding Liam's on my hip.

"I'm waiting."

Jeremy sighs and steps toward me, but Liam pulls me back a few steps.

I turn to face Liam, "He's my brother. I will explain everything later."

He looks at Jeremy then at me and nods.

I turn back to Jeremy, not letting go of Liam's hand, if I did, there is no saying what I would do. Who leaves his family when they need him the most. Three days after my mom died, Jeremy ran away, leaving my trace or note. Now he just shows up at of nowhere?

"I came here because I learned something about you," he says.

Me? I raise my eyebrows and give him a questioning look as Liam starts to rub circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.

"I was with granny's sister and we were doing some research into the family's history. I didn't want to say anything to you until I knew for sure," he explains.

"Tell me what?" I ask nervously.

"Esme, did granny ever tell you about enchanters?" Jeremy asks, taking a step closer.

"No, what do they have to do with me?" I'm so confused.

"Esme, you're an enchanter," he says calmly.

'what?!' Isla yells.

'Did you know this? What is an enchanter?' I ask her

'This is news to me, ask Jeremy,' Isla tells me.

"Jeremy, what the hell is an enchanter and why the fuck am I one?" I say raising my voice.

He sighs, "An enchanter is someone that has the ability to control the mind, I'm not sure why you are one, but it's been a common thread in our family tree for the girl born on the night of the blood moon to become an enchanter. The blood moon is every century."

I must be in shock or something. I can't move. All I can do is think. There is no way this is true. I can't control someone's mind, I can't even control my own!

"There are people who have been able to control an enchanter and I wanted you to know, to be careful," Jeremy says looking me dead in the eyes.

"Why should I believe anything you say?" I snap, "you left us. You left me, when I needed you the most."

Jeremy looks at the ground, ashamed, "I have my reason for leaving, but I'm here now and I know how to help you control your power."

I shake my head, "I want nothing to do with you." I turn around and pull Liam with me upstairs into my room so I can get my stuff and get out of here. I'm lucky I haven't unpacked yet, I grab some of my loose stuff and my picture frame. Liam helps me and grabs two of my three bags and we head downstairs.

"Please wai-" Jeremy begins.

"Before I leave," I turn to Liam, "Liam this is my brother Jeremy and my dad Lance."

I turn to my dad and brother, "Dad and brother this is my mate Liam. Now that you guys know each other, Liam and I are leaving."

Dad tries to tell me to stay but I leave before I say things I would regret. Soon enough Liam and I are heading back to the pack house.
