Alpha Nicholas novel Chapter 21

“Lexi. I know you have no reason to trust me, I get it, I really do. But I promise that nothing will happen to Bonnie. I just want to help. I’ve not been acting as I should, I know that. I’ve been a fucking fool! but I just want to help, that is all.” She lets out a whine but doesn’t give me any kind of answer. “Let me talk to her.” Storm’s voice booms in my head. He’s so worked up that I can feel how tense he is. I agree and once again sit back while he comes forward. “It’s storm, sweetheart. Look, we both know that my human has been a major asshole and for the record I havent agreed with any of it and I’m sure he’ll confirm that for me but I promise that he only wants to help. Neither he nor I will let anything happen to either of you.”

I feel the moment that she lets me in and I swear that I almost faint when I hear her voice. No, I’m not joking. I can hear Lexi’s voice as she communicates from her wolf to my human form. I know Alpha wolves have more abilities than other wolves but I don’t think that I’ve ever heard of a wolf communicating with another wolf that is in human form.

“If I trust you to look after her and you break that trust, I promise that I will tear you apart limb from limb, Alpha or not!” Her growl is fierce and yet, her voice sounds like butter and has Storm rolling over and panting. He’s already spoken to her and heard her voice but for some reason hes only now reacting and is acting like a puppy.

“I swear on everything I hold close to my heart that I wont break your trust. I swear, Lexi.” She stays quiet for a couple of minutes while I try and get over the shock of our communication. “Did you know I could do that, Storm?” He hasn’t been my greatest fan lately so I wouldnt be that surprised if he knew about it but didn’t tell me. “Hmmm, no, I didnt know that.” His answer is vague and has me curious. “Ok, so what do you know?”

“Last night when our mates were in the office I was able to communicate with Lexi. We couldn’t talk for long because you had blocked me out so it made it harder. Afterward, I figured that if I could do that then there could be more that we don’t know about but I didn’t know that you could do this.” As much as I’m pissed at him for not telling me about what happened I imagine he hasn’t been in much of a rush to talk to me.

“Ok, I will give you Bonnie but I meant every word that I said. And one more thing, Bonnie is mine, not yours and once she is better I will be taking her away somewhere that she can be safe and happy.” Lexis’s voice drags me from my conversation with Storm and whilst I feel nothing but happy at her finally letting me help Bonnie, I cant deny that I’m angry at her saying that she’s going to take her away once she’s better. Yes, I know I have no right to be but I am and there’s nothing I can do bout it. “Ok.” I don’t say anymore afraid that I will say something to change her mind.

I stand up when I see her start to shift and swallow back a growl when my mate appears on the ground curled up in a ball naked and unconscious. I swiftly take off my shirt and drape it over her before slowly picking her up and holding her close to my chest. Her head rolls until it comes to rest on my chest pleasing the possessive Alpha in me. My mate is battered black and blue and way too skinny but she’s going to get the best care that there is. Lily runs over to quickly check her over then leans in and places a kiss on her cheek before Shane pulls her away. “Let’s go!” I bellow.

“I knew things were bad but this… Jesus…” She shakes her head as a lone tear rolls down her cheek and it triggers something inside of me. Aside from her being my mate’s best friend, she is also my brother’s mate which makes her family and I don’t like seeing her upset but I know if I ask her anything now she won’t tell me no matter how much I want that.

“I know that something is going on with Bonnie and there’s possibly more to your story also and I want to help but I can’t if I don’t know the details. You are my brother’s mate and once you officially move here I will be your Alpha. I know I’ve started on a rocky patch but I want you to know that you can trust me and I will do all I can to help and protect you if it’s needed, Bonnie too.”

I say the words that I have said so many times in the past, even more so in the last 24 hours, and yet those words have never been so painful to say before. This girl is throwing me through a loop and if I’m being honest with myself I can admit that she has been since the first moment I laid eyes on her and I’m not quite sure what to do about it.
