“Are you my therapist now?” He growls in annoyance.
“Smartarse” I tell him, not backing down at his anger. “You’re angry..” I note.
“Really?” He asks rolling his eyes.
“Really” I snap back. “I can deal with you being a t**t Axton, I know how you react to things remember. If you need to vent and take it out on me, then do so. But get on with it, the sooner you snap out of it, the sooner you will be useful in finding Mila.”
Hearing his breath hitch as his body tenses, Alex and Jax stiffen as they sense Axtons increasing anger. “Do I need to snap at you as well Rex?” I ask c*****g my head as I look at Axton in the mirror, seeing Rex prominent in his eyes.
“Why are you baiting him?” Jax links me in shock.
“I’m not, he’ll get over it” I tell him, my tone relaxed as I link him back.
Holding Axtons gaze, I see his lips curl upwards slightly. “You call me the smartarse” Axton says after a moment, his body relaxing as he holds my gaze.
Shrugging at him, I wait for him to continue. “Thank you” he says softly.
“Do you need to punch it out?” I ask him quirking my brow. “You backed down kind of easily then..so I’m just checking” I muse as Jax and Alex both bite back a laugh.
“Don’t tempt me” Axton mutters throwing them both a glare. “Somehow, fighting you doesn’t fill me with excitement anymore. I’d rather not have my ass kicked even worse than i used to.”
“Good decision” Jax smirks.
“Luca always has to punch it out” I tell Jax who chuckles lightly at the thought.
“Has that always worked?” Alex asks curiously. “Push him until he relents?”
Biting out a short laugh I shake my head, “that or we sparred, either way it helped. But I’ve been thinking about it, perhaps it’s because of what Kia and I are. Rex will know we are only concerned, that we want to help. I’ve always been a bit confused how an Alpha wolf in particular is happy to back down when riled up, but with me being an empath as well it seems to make more sense.”
“I think you’re right” Alex agrees, “normally when an Alpha is poked they will be more angry. Unless they have a very level head at all times which many alphas think they do but they don’t, they also have heightened emotions which can be hard to deal with. It would explain it, perhaps even unintentionally in the past you have helped calm him and others.”
“Either way it works and I’m thankful, it’s saved me from some potentially bad situations in the past” Axton sighs.
Feeling Kia’s pride at their words I smirk at her, “someone’s proud.”
“As we should be” she replies. “You did good distracting them..well done” she adds on softly.
Looking at Alex in the mirror he flashes me a grateful smile. “When we get back, we will speak with Elder Martin. I want to visit the Deep Forest Pack before getting back to Ophelia tomorrow. I doubt Bruno or Mila will be there, but he needs to know that I will be following this up and my presence will be felt in his pack” Alex explains. Before any of us can ask him anything further he adds on, “you will all be travelling with me.”
“Are you sure that’s wise?” Jax asks, his brows furrowed as he takes in Alex’s words. “I’m Milas sister, I demanded that their Alpha be contacted by the council..I don’t know how well that went down. Then Axton is Milas new mate, if they’re loyal to their Alpha then he won’t be welcome.”
“None of us will be welcome” Alex shrugs.
“You’re their Alpha King” Jax points out.
“Doesn’t mean I’ll be welcome” Alex replies.
“What do you mean by that?” Axton asks, his attention now focused on Alex.
With a sigh Alex shrugs, rubbing his head with his free hand as he begins driving up to the pack house. “I said I’d wait till we were with Elder Martin, but to be honest I don’t think Bruno sees me as his Alpha King any longer.”
“He’s rebelling?” Axtons asks as Alex’s eyes flash to meet mine once again.
“He’s not rebelling..” I whisper as the pieces begin to slot together.
“Not exactly how I’d put it no..but in a way yes” Alex says knowingly.
“Then what exactly?” Axton asks in confusion.
“He’s causing a divide, north vs south…” I say slowly.
“I may be the current Alpha King of both the northern and southern packs” Alex acknowledges, “but for how long? How long until there could be two? His father was the first to suggest there be another..Bruno may think the same.”
Hearing Jax swear beside me, his body tenses as a loud growl escapes him. “He wants to control the south…”
With a sharp nod, Alex purses his lips before repeating “He wants to be the Alpha King of the South.”
Mila POV:
“We’re here” Bruno announces, snapping me from my thoughts, as the car rolls to a gentle stop.
“Where is here?” I ask him quietly. Peering out the window I see we are parked in a clearing surrounded by thick forest. There are six log cabins, varying in size on one side surrounded by large burly men all dressed in black.
Without answering, Bruno quickly opens his door and slides out, leaving me alone in the car where I can take a few calming breaths.
“Stay strong Mila, don’t let them sense your nerves” I hear a soft voice whisper to me, making me immediately sob in relief.
“Alia” I cry, “you’re here.”
“I’m always here Mila, I’m sorry I withdrew. The thought of being back with Bruno scared me. But now is not a time for us to be scared, it is a time to be strong and show them just who we are. Our pack needs us remember” she tells me with conviction in her voice.
“Hold your head up, stand proud and remember that we are a Luna, the Luna of the White Mountain Pack, and we are going to get home, to them and to our mate” she says encouragingly.
Feeling a renewed sense of hope in me, I look out the front of the vehicle where Bruno is busy talking to two other men. Grasping the door handle, I’m quite surprised when I realise its not locked, and with a slight grunt I climb out of my seat. Feeling my muscles protest at the movement, I stand up and stretch, attempting to alleviate the soreness of my muscles.
