Protecting the Alpha

*CHAPTER 34*

"As soon as we are far enough away put up your barriers." Milana which was the witch who decided to stay behind nodded. I bent down to give my daughters a hug. "Be safe and listen to Milana,Tinsley and Joclyn. I'll be home soon." The girls nodded but didn't speak. They were scared and uneasy. Lucid came up behind me scooping them up in a hug. Hadley held onto him tightly she had grown close to him over the time he had came. Blake walked up next and took Ryia and Rissa from Lucid. Giving them a hug also and saying a few words to them. Milana reached out and stopped him from walking away. "You will fall tonight. But you will not be lost." Blake looked over at me in confusion. I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head. I have come to learn that witchs love their riddles. Tinsley and Joclyn pulled the girls toward them as Oakley and Archer came to stand by them. "Im sorry I can't be of more help." I paused in my steps when I heard the raspy voice. "We'll figure out a way to get your memories back. Just sit tight here." the banchee girl that Lucid and I saved stepped back. We walked off and met up with our group that would be heading into the meeting house. Thayne and Flame had already headed off to confront them head on. We were going in a back way. That Bane was currently leading us to. "I find it creepy how quite all of you are walking, its unnerving." Bane whispered out while I chuckled. "Train with My father for a day you'll be walking just like me." Bane shutters and shakes his head. "No thanks I seen your feet after that training." I laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "Its fine Bane not everyone can go through it." Lucid clinched his jaw in anger. "What did you do to

her Miles." there was no mistaking the snarl behind what he said. "Nothing Leah couldn't handle." Blake snapped out as he walked by us. "I dont think I asked you." Blake stopped and turned to face off with him. Leaving me caught in the middle. Blake pointed at Lucid as I pushed him back a bit. "Don't act like you care about her." Lucid went to launch himself at Blake. However he never reached him. Miles and Blayne had stepped in holding him back. As I was trying to push Blake back. "Quit it you two. Just stop with all of this. Blake Im Lucid's mate. Just let me go already please." I wasn't going to use my Alpha powers it seemed so wrong to do so. Blake looked down at me hurt and sorrow over taking his eyes. Leaving me blinking back my tears. "Alright Leah...But If you hurt her.." His threat trailed off as he turned to treck on. Lucid shook off Miles and Blayne. Taking deep breaths to calm down. With out blinking Miles pinned him up against a tree. "You ever put my daughter in danger again pup,you won't have to worry about Blake. I'll make your life a living hell." Lucid grabed his arm and tried to remove it. Miles tightened his grip a fraction before letting him go. Fade was next in line to threaten both Lucid and Blake. I rolled my eyes at all of them. "If you boys are done with the pissing contest. Leah and I would like to move on." Costella put her arm around my shoulders and guided me away from everyone. "It'll blow over eventualy Leah. Just hold on for a little longer." I drew in a shakey breath. Trying to calm my nerves. I had to much going through my mind to worry about Lucid and Blake. I needed to focus on my mother and taking down the council. Also getting everyone out of this alive. Which is looking like it won't happen if everyone keeps fighting amongst themselves. "Alright its just ahead." we stepped into a little clearing. Bane walked over to a tree stump and hit a spot on it. A door opened up to the side. Blayne pointed at it and laughed. "They painted the wall to look like the forest." Bane nodded as he walked through the door. The rest of us following after. We walked through a narrowed hallway that opened up into a extremely white room. "You will not get further." A women with black straight hair with a short black dress. She had a sickening look about her. "Talia how wonderful." Costella snarkily spat out. The women slowly smiled which made my skin crawl. There was something completely off about her. "Costella how have you been. Stuck in that bouyu of

yours." I watched as Costella moved to be in the middle of the room. "don't know Talia." The women kept her smile but slowly looked at me. "Leah look at you all grown up." I watched as the women began to walk slowly towards me. She stopped and turned to Costella. "I wasn't going to hurt her." I watched as Costella whispered something and the women flew across the room. "Now Costella that was just mean." Everything about this women was slow and deliberate. As she got up off the floor she whispered something. I watched as Costella was almost hit by a ball of fire. She moved out of the way. "All of you go I got her." Costella looked over at me and smirked. "Leah this was a long time coming go now!" I moved to leave but watched as Blake stayed. "Ill stay and watch over her." His decision made i nodded and left the room. Already leaving behind two people I care about. How many more will I have to leave?
