The Alphas Angel

chapter 5

My small group fallows him to a large warm office. With its dark wood and leather furniture it seems fitting. My three dogs and even my cat are at my heels.

"Must those be here?" Luke's father, the alpha says with an exasperated sigh.

"You bet your ass they do." I respond back. No longer caring who he is or that he is above me. If they want me as Luke's mate they are going to take me how I am. He looks at me and the red head laughs. "she's strong, she will be a good Luna." and places a kiss on his cheek. 'Ahhh so she's his mate.' I think to myself.

"Well to get started ill introduce myself. My name is echo. Out of respect everyone calls me alpha or alpha echo." the alpha states. "So how are you still alive I wonder?" he asks while gazing at me in scrutiny "who? Me?" I say as I point at myself. Luke starts laughing beside me. "Yes you, no unmated female has ever survived being bitten and I know you two have not mated." He motioned to me and Luke.

"I don't know, isn't that something you should be able to answer?" I throw his accusing tone back at him. "You were not already a werewolf, where you? Maybe a rouge in disguise, hmm?" he states starting to get an angry tone. "Considering I didn't know werewolves existed until about two hours ago I'm gonna have to go with a solid no on that one." I tell him getting annoyed with his thinking I'm up to something. I mean I didn't ask for any of this.

"Well then how did you do it?" he keeps pressing "DAD! ENOUGH! She was human. It must have been pure luck. Maybe the moon goddess took pity on me." Luke yells at his dad defending me. Echo looks shocked that his son yelled at him but doesn't punish him for it he simply continues his questioning. "What are your parents' names?"

"No never mind, I would be able to smell another wolf Luke would of too" he mumbles to himself. I answer anyway. "Their names WHERE Elizabeth and Connor Grayhouse."

I emphasize the where to point out the rudeness of the question. Everyone in the room flinches at my statement and tone. They all turn to look at me as I glare at the alpha. His mates' eyes shine with pity at my loss. He looks at me and it's evident that for the first time he doesn't know how to handle the situation. Luke tries to pull me in for a hug to comfort me but I shrug him off, I shrug Lizzy off as she tries to grab my hand too. Without breaking eye contact I stand up, then I turn and storm out.

Luke's P.O.V

I watch as the most beautiful woman in the world storms out of my father's office. He looks completely shocked. No one has ever been this bold against him. Us boys and my mother attempt to stifle our laughter. My father looks furious but calms quickly.

"Do you recognize the grayhouse name?" he looks from me to my mother. His look instantly turns us serious.

"No" we answer in unison. He sighs as he plops into his desk chair. He rubs his face. My mother sits on one of his knees waiting for him to give the information he obviously knows. Before he can answer Jace pipes up. "Isn't that the pack that got demolished like 20 years ago?"

"That would be correct. Connor Grayson was the alpha but I never heard anything about an Elizabeth or him having a mate. To be honest all the information that was put out pointed that the entire pack had died." my father told us, then he looked to Lizzy. He had a spark in his eyes, like something had clicked together. "What was her mother's maiden name, do you know?"

"wa...wa....warwick..... Why?" Abby stuttered out the name.

"Warwick!! Oh of course it was a Warwick." Father practically yells. "I don't know if Connor found his mate or how he lived. Maybe the Warwick saved him. The Warwick's are a long line of powerful witches. So my son your mate is half werewolf half witch."

Echo stands. "Witches are extremely dangerous, has she ever shown signs of powers?" he looks towards Lizzy with this new question. I can't take it any longer before he can answer I storm out the door fallowing her sent. That beautiful vanilla rain sent leads me down to the swimming hole. There I see my beautiful goddess sitting on a boulder playing with a necklace I never noticed before and bawling her eyes out. Her three dogs lay protectively at the base of the rock.

"Hey, can I come up?" I ask her softly already starting to climb. At the sound of my voice her cries turn to sniffles as she tries to cover up the fact that she was crying. "Why are you crying?" I ask her softly, sitting behind her and rubbing her back. "I miss them so much. The police never did anything. They said it was an accident. If I had been there I could have saved them!! 12 bullet holes is not an accident. I don't know who my parents got involved with but whoever they were murdered them." she sits up and wipes her eyes and puts on the most dazzling smile and if I hadn't just seen her crying I wouldn't have known it was fake. Then she mutters two words that almost break my heart

"I'm fine" she grabs my hand. "Let's go back, your father probably wants me dead by now" she laughs halfhearted and I can tell it's fake. One day I swear she will be truly happy.
