The Half-Blood Alpha

Chapter 17

I stood in front of Storm's cell watching her. She was wearing jeans and a white tank top. She was also not talking. But the thing I noticed the most was how angry she looked.

"You shouldn't have attacked them," I told her.

"You can say whatever you want but I'm going to listen to you," Storm growled.

"Why did you get so angry?"

"That's none of your business,"

"Why won't you answer my questions?"

"You don't know me. I don't have to tell you anything,"

I sighed leaving. I walked back to Axel's house and started thinking of my Mother. My heart ached. When I'd told Axel he'd been furious. I tried not to think about it. I went inside. Riley was there sitting with his mate.

"Hi," I said.

"Hello," Riley's mate whispered timidly.

She was with dark skin, black hair and light blue eyes.

"Hanna this is my mate Ellie," Riley introduced smiling for once. "Ellie this is Axel's mate Hanna,"

"I'm sorry I haven't met you before Luna," Ellie whispered.

"It's okay," I told her. "And you can just call me Hanna,"

Ellie smiled. "Okay,"

"Have either of you seen Axel?" I asked.

"He went to cool off," Riley answered. "He came here looking ready to kill someone,"

I flinched. No doubt he was angry at Storm. I nodded to the two of them and left. I headed into the woods looking around. The trees were beautiful, the sun dappling the leaves. It wasn't hard to find Axel. He was pacing around growling. he only wore a pair of grey shorts.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

Axel faced me. He walked over and crashed his lips into mine. I responded almost immediately. He pulled away suddenly holding me tightly. He pressed his forehead against mine.

"I hate that rogue," he muttered.

"She didn't hurt me," I reassured him.

"I thought she was going to," Axel growled.

"She scares me," I admitted.

Axel nodded. "She's going to stay in that cell until she's willing to talk. She said it herself she hates it in there. Sooner or later she'll want to get out and then I'll make her tell me,"

I didn't argue with him. But I had to admit Storm hadn't done anything besides that. Axel dragged me back to the house. When we walked inside Riley and Ellie were still sitting there.

"Where have you been?" Riley asked.

Axel growled at him and I followed Axel upstairs. We went into his office. Axel sat down.

"I'm still going to present you to the back tomorrow," Axel snapped.

My wolf flinched and I shrank back. Axel's gaze softened.

"I'm so sorry Hanna I'm not angry at you," he whispered.

I sat myself on his lap. Axel held me tightly.

"You should calm down," I told him softly.

He nodded.

"Tomorrow I'm going to introduce you to the pack and I'm not going to hear a word about that rogue," he decided. "It'll just me about us,"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Riley burst in.

"Storm has escaped," Riley growled.

Axel stood up putting me down. He stormed out of the room and started mind-linking people. I raced outside looking around. I was going to help. I wasn't sure where to look so I ran around the territory until I found Storm sitting under a tree.

"I thought you would have run away," I told her.

"I thought Axel would have you guarded," Storm responded dryly.

I sat next to her unsure of what to do. She faced me looking serious.

"If I tell you something can you promise me you won't tell anyone not even Axel?" she asked.

I nodded. "Okay,"

"After I tell you, you can talk me back to that stupid cell if you want. I won't fight anyone," Storm promised. She sighed. "Three years ago a week after my eighteenth birthday and before I shifted a pack called the Red Moon pack who my old pack was at war with came and their Alpha, Derek spoke with my Father. My brother and I were human so we hid from the fight. Even so two of the Red Moon wolves grabbed my brother and Derek threatened that he would kill him unless my Father did exactly what he told him. I tried to stop them but I started to shift. I don't know what happened after that but five days after I had started to shift I was told Derek had taken my brother away. I begged my Father to go after him but he wouldn't," Storm paused then continued. "So I ran away and decided I'd find him myself," she faced me. "It's been three years Hanna and I still haven't found him. I have no idea where he is,"

I listened shocked. "When Axel asked you where he was..."

"I wasn't really mad at him," Storm interrupted. "I was and still am mad at Derek. I took it out on you guys I'm sorry,"

"What's your brothers name?"

"Will,"

"I want to help you find him," I decided. "How can I help?"

"You can get me into Derek's territory," Storm answered. "That's all I ask,"

I nodded. "I'll see what I can do and I won't tell Axel,"

"Thank you Hanna," Storm smiled. "I owe you,"

Axel appeared suddenly. He looked furious. He was panting so he'd obviously just gotten here. I was thankful he hadn't heard what we'd been talking about. He looked confused to see us sitting together so casually.

"You," he growled at Storm. "Are going back to your cell,"

Storm stood up. "Yeah yeah, okay fine. I'm going,"

Axel looked suspicious that she was going so easily but he didn't say anything. Instead he led Storm away.
