My Unwanted Soul

Chapter 3

We've been training for the passed 3 weeks, the whole pack. School for ages 16 and up were put on hold. We trained from 7 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon.

We didn't know exactly when or if Alpha Dominick would initiate an attack, but if he did we'd be ready. My wolf has been whining to me for the past week, begging me. Begging me to talk to Angel, begging me to let him in. She didn't understand that I couldn't do that, I couldn't just let him in.

Training was finally over for the day, and Alpha Steel called me to the office. I knocked twice and waited for him to tell me to enter. "You wanted to talk to me, alpha," I asked him. He nodded and said, "Alpha Dominick contacted me today, asked me to meet with him, and to bring you." I gulped and said, "oh, so when do we meet?"

He studied me for a second and then said, "tomorrow, we will go to their territory, on a temporary treaty, along with 4 of our best warriors. You have nothing to fear Alexis, we will be there with you the whole time." I nodded and said, "I know, Alpha, I trust you guys."

I turned to leave his office and the alpha added, "one more thing, I inow that you don't want a mate, but I want you to read this, it was my aunts. She too tried to avoid her mate .... It eventually led to her death, Alexis. Your mother, she didn't choose to leave her mate, her mate left at his stupidity, therefore giving her the strength to keep pushing forward. But your mate has not done anything wrong. Chances are everything in life, they are things we need to take."

He handed me an obviously old journal. It was dark brown and had a velvet strap that held the pages closed. I held it to my chest and said, "I'll read through it, alpha." I bowed my head and retreated from the room.

I sighed as I walked through the pack house towards the front door. "Lexi," a voice asked and I turned to see Enrique. "Oh, hey," I smiled, lightly. "What's up, how are you feeling," he asked me.

Enrique was three years older than me but since I was 13, he's been really.... Attached to me. It was weird, and he knew we would never be anything. But it was nice to have someone who cared in the way he did. And even though he knew I'd never want a relationship, he still cared for me the same way as always. It was good to have someone ask how I was doing.

'If you'd give your mate a chance, he would do the same thing and more' my wolf growled at me. 'Oh now you're talking to me? Come on, Luna, you have to realize that I'm just trying to keep us safe,' I argued with her. 'Were safest in the arms of our mate. He will protect us and care for us. I spoke to his wolf, lex, his wolfs name is Titus. He wants to love us, he wants us to come home,' Luna pleaded.

'Im sorry, Luna, I won't let us be hurt, were too strong for that," I whispered in thought and then she cut me off. I sighed, why did she have to be so difficult?

"Lexi? Are you alright," Enrique asked now. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him and smile, "yeah, yeah I'm good. Thanks for asking." "Anytime," he flashed a grin.

I turned to leave and then Enrique called my name again. "Yeah,"I asked him. "I won't let them hurt you tomorrow, I promise you that," he said, seriously. I smiled and said, "thanks, it means a lot."

Finally, I left the pack house and went home. I was tired and needed a shower. I went upstairs to my bathroom and peeled off my clothes. The hot water felt amazing as it beamed down on my skin. I just stood there, letting it flow on my body.

I didn't realize how sore my muscles had been. They were tensed up and aching for a break, so I guess the meeting tomorrow would provide that break to me. Unless it turns into a battle, but Alpha Steel said we were going on a temporary treaty and if a battle breaks out between packs who have a treaty, the werewolf council will step in.
