Book 7: Alpha Ace

Chapter 61: speech

Tessa's p.o.v

I woke up and I imeaditly rolled over on my bed. I threw up on the floor and I looked up to see Blaze on his side holding his stomach.

So this is what hang over feels like. I'm throwing up, my head hurts, every little bit of light hurts my eyes, and it just feels 'ugh'.

"Rise and shine!"

Grandpa yelled as he walked in. Blaze and I both rushed to cover our ears as he really hurt them.

"Can you please be quite?!"

I ask him as I throw up again. He sighs and walks towards me.

"You got drunk last night. Didn't you?"

He asks as he looks between Blazs and I.

"Just a little."

Blaze mumbles as he sits up slowly. It's obvious he's been up longer and has thrown up his fair share.

"How many drinks?"

Grandpa asks us and I sit up slowly. Our wolves heal us from hang over pretty quickly but we do still suffer some side effects.

"4 beers each."

I say as I slowly look around the room. Grandpa sighs and looks at the ground.

"I was always told to multiply the number of drinks by eight then divide it by two. So 16 beers each?!"

He shouts at us and I only have around slight migraine now. I take a deep breath and look back up at my grandpa.

"We're good for now. What are we doing today?"

I ask him as I slowly stand. I walk over to him and he walks away. Jerk. He walks over to the medical cupboard and pulls out four pieces aspirin. I stand corrected, he's not a jerk. He walks back and hands me two pieces and Blaze two pieces. We swallow the aspirin all at once and Blazs stands.

"We are going to torture demitri all day until around 6 tonight. At 6 tonight we will have his execution. I am gathering all who have lost someone in the battle, weather it be mate or family. Everyone will get their turn at him."

Grandpa said and walked out. Blaze and I took hands and followed him out of the medical tent. Grandpa lead us through the village and towards the front. I'm confused.

"Attention everyone! We will be leaving this place within the hour. Demitri's execution will be held in the warrior pack. We have all of the Allied packs gathering together there and they are bringing their best torture tools."

I looked at Guinevere as grandpa gave his speech. She held no emotion on her face, I bet she knew this would come one day. She might have not gotten attached to demitri.

"Ready, load out!"

Grandpa yelled and he turned to Blaze and I.

"How are we going to make it home in time."

Blaze asked grandpa and he smirked.

"We were on silent 3 last time. This time we can speed through the forest and be home within 5 hours."

He says and I nod. It makes sense as silent 3 is no sound or movement at all. Silent 2 is no sound at all and silent 1 is everyone quite. Silent 1 is where you can talk but quietly.

"I see. And what about Guinevere?"

I ask grandpa and he looks over his shoulder at the lady. He smiles slightly and looks back to us.

"She will be fine, I just have the feeling she will be. But how are you two holding up?"

He asks us and I sigh. Here we go again with this topic. Whenever some one asks me how I'm holding up they mean to say 'how are you handling your father's death?'. Some how I've managed to become insensitive and mean on the outside. But on the inside I'm broken and in need of help.

I haven't really tried to focus on my father's death. I need to stay strong for everyone else's benefit. If I'm strong my pack will be strong, it's how it works. Everyone has tried to take down my strong facade, even Sage, but everyone still fails.

"I'm fine."

I tell him and I know he can sense the lie in my voice. I'm a pretty good liar but grandpa is a pretty good lie detector. He nods in unbelief and I sigh in annoyance.

"I've been better Mr.Chandler."

Blaze says and I look at him surprised. Grandpa does as well so we are both standing there with shocked expressions.

'Either he did something or he's going to do something.'

I mind link grandpa and he nods in response. Blaze catches it and shrugs it off. I sigh in relief and look back at grandpa.

"Well well should go and help pack up. Tessa I want to speak with you later, same with you Blaze."

Grandpa says and he walks away. Blaze and I follow behind him and we go to start packing up this huge camp.

But the work isn't what worries me. It's how I might loose my mom really soon.
