.''I am more than you think''.

-21-

Alexis' pov:

I felt so guilty, I had avoided Max and most of the pack for a day.

There was a purpose behind it, I was a master of my gift so I could erase my presence half way, to the way they remember me but not forget, I did that and those that could still me were the ones avoided because it was Cain seeing their thoughts that let them see me, I couldn't have him gather more info on me as he has.

Max had kept eye contact the longest, twenty seconds so that meant twenty hours away from her which was a pain.

Right now I'm walking to the council the wolves have called, from what I knew the alpha and beta families were invited with the elders and a few others, of course I was too just being running late because of Cain the mind reading.

I opened the door to see people look at me.

"Before you ask questions I avoided all of you because when you look into Cain's eyes he will be able to read your minds, one second is one hour and he'll also be able to control emotions to an extent in that time, Max here looked the longest twenty seconds because of her vision but I needed to stay away until the mind reading ran out to make sure he didn't get more info on me for the safety of all, I can counter his with my gift but no one else can." I explained, the hard lines on the alpha's face relaxing, he was most likely mad at me for hurting Max but he could understand why I did it.

"You both, Max and you, seem to know this man called Halim but also Cain?" An elder said to break the heavy silence.

"Yes I do he is someone like me, I thought I was the last but I have mistaken, as you know Max here has a Deathless Spirit in her as a wolf, the first spirit of the like was Haral, nowadays he'd be called Harold, and he was Halim's, in other words Cain, brothers. Cain murdered him because I chose him as a potential partner instead of Cain, did ya'll hear what he said to me."

"We should hunt him down and end him."

"No alpha we can't he can cover his traces so well even I can't follow him."

"So what now?" I looked at Max who talked, seeing so many emotions in her eyes it hurt my heart for causing the negative ones.

"Knowing him when we see him again it might be when he'll try to get me, I don't know how his brain works so we'll need to up the patrols."

"What about the threat already looming over us with those leaches? Why should we keep you safe?"

"Well elder the honest answer here is you shouldn't, you have not known me for even a month, I'm his only target, I honestly see no reason to not just have you band against me and offer me up but even so you don't know much about me you know that I'd die for the pack I created oh so long ago and I don't know if not for me then for your future alpha. I can't help it that I'm her mate but I am and that cannot be changed...... One a different subject, just like Cain, I can make any cold one or wolf submit normally but here an enemy equal to me might try to convince you to turn against me so our orders with nullify each other's so you are free of either of us controlling you.... Those leaches there are led buy a man I raised, he'd gladly join forces with the pack even if only for my sake, he has a good heart and will fight for what he sees right." I sighed despite not really needing the breath like cold ones, breathing is just like sleeping for me, I can do it or not but breathing helped me calm down and automatically did it when in that sleep state.

I continued listing all I co help with and a plan was set up, patrols would be doubled until we get news of what his plans, other than getting too me, are and then we go on from there, another thing was they agreed to try to set up alliances with the cold ones Hans leads, together the pack and coven would have.... Around four hundred members capable of fighting, reassuring for safety of others.

I spent hours staring at a large map and writing pages upon pages of notes for myself and others before taking a few deep breaths and sighing as I turned the light off, I could see well enough in the night even when the moon wasn't out like right now.

I opened my window and hoped on the edge before jumping over and knocking on the window.

It was opened and I jumped in, instantly wrapping my arms around her waist and sticking my face in her neck, breathing in deeply, missing her warmth, smell, touch, everything.

"I'm sorry." I whispered as Max hugged me back.

"It's okay I was confused but now I understand, I would never want to help him in any way to getting to you." I smiled as I looked up as her face, hair let down and in some PJ's like me, it was quite late after all.

"I should have given you a word or something not just silence." I felt her raise her arms and wrap them around my neck as she looked up at me.

"it's fine I understand." I could feel her hot breath on my face as her own was quite close. "I'd have gladly waited days to be sure he would see nothing of you but you own me an apology." I smirked because since I had apologized already I knew what she wanted.

"Well you already have me undressed with your eyes what else do you need?" I asked with a smirk and deeper voice, I felt her hands grab the back on my tank top.

"For it to not be fantasy." I smiled more as I brought one arms away from her waist and put my hand on her cheek, pulling her in a kiss.... From the look in her eyes this will not be the last thing happening tonight....
