Alpha Nicholas
As if Rosie’s story wasn’t already crazy enough now there’s fucking witches included in the mix. I watched her as she spoke about them and saw nothing but care and gratitude when she mentioned what they had done for her but I couldn’t help but feel a little on edge given the fact that they told her to come here and that I also currently have a witched hauled up in my cells.
Yes, they told her she would find her mate here and she did but there’s still something niggling at the back of my head telling me to find out all I can rather than just dismissing it. I’m not sure what I want to ask or even what kind of information it is that I’m trying to get so I’m going to put it on the back burner for now, but not for long.
“You said that you met the witches a few days after you left the safe house, right?” Shane asks making me grateful for a moment to gather my thoughts in regards to the witch’s situation. “Yes, that’s right.”
“And if I’m right, the attack happened just over 4 years ago so where have you been all this time?” That’s a good question, one that I hadn’t thought about and that right there just goes to show why he’s my Beta.
I watch as her whole body tenses up and her hands begin to shake.
Fuck what’s going on with her? Tony tightens his hold on her and looks at me with a look of despair and anger and I get it. I wish we didn’t have to question her like this in front of so many people but we have to and despite how this is making Tony feel I know he understands. he would do it if it was the other way around.
Rosie takes a sip of water before looking at Tony who gives her an encouraging look.
“It’s ok sweetheart. You safe to talk here.” Everyone in the room nods agreeing which seems to help her a little as she turns her head and puts her attention on to me showing me respect as the Alpha and it’s appreciated:”So, after I left the witches with a new map that would lead me to here I set off on my travels. This pack was in the opposite direction to where I was going. I would have to walk back past my pack lands to get here.
By the time I would have gotten back to my pack lands, I would have been travelling for around six days and would have been back to square one but I didn’t mind.
Don’t get me wrong, I was troubled by the idea that I would be going back on my promise to Connor but 1 also knew that he would agree with what I was doing. If he knew that I was going to your pack where L would find my mate, he would be the first one to encourage me. Hell, if he had been there with me I know that he would have come with me himself.”
Tony growls making both Robbie and I laugh while Will and Shane sit there nodding their head fully understanding why he’s growling.” Down boy,” Rosie says as she pats his chest making us all laugh. It’s only two words but it’s the most outspoken she’s been since she got here and I for one like it. It shows a bit of her true personality and if she going to live here in this so pack, she going to need it and she’s going to need to be fit for Tony because he’s going to be a possessive bastard and that’s before you even add in his wolf zero.
“It was zero, not me,” He grunts like a child making us laugh even more. Of course, the sad reality is that she hasn’t finished telling us her story yet and soon enough the atmosphere gets chilly as Rosie prepares to carry on talking.
“After travelling for another 3 days I arrived back at my pack lands and before I could stop myself I was standing outside of the pack house reliving the memories of the last time that I saw my family alive. I’m not sure how long I stood there but as 1 was about to leave I realised that the grounds outside of the pack house were clean. All of the disarray from the attack was gone. Someone had cleaned it up. Of course, I considered that it could have been done by the elders. The Lands were in good shape, the pack house fairly large and it would be the ideal place for another pack to start out but still, I couldn’t shakethe feelings that it wasn’t down to them.”
“You went inside to check didn’t you?” Tony asks looking unimpressed when she nods her head and I get it. She was a 14-year-old girl all alone and without a wolf, goddess only knows who could have been in there but I can understand her side. She was a 14-year-old girl on her own without a wolf and despite being told to come to our pack, no doubt she still held out hope that there were remaining survivors from her pack inside who could maybe help her.
“If they had been travelling for 2-3 days then they would have been too far away from their mates to feel anything,” Shane answers while I’m still a little lost in my thoughts. “Thats so sad,” Bonnie says as she shifts herself a little before pressing her body into mine more seeking comfort and it may not be the time for it but inside it makes me giddy.
This is another step forward for us.
“My uncle and his warriors tried with all they had to stop them bothbut there wasn’t anything they could do.”
“So what happened with the pack after the attack? You mentioned that the elders had informed them that there were no survivors so what happened once they came back? Did they still belong to that pack or had the elders taken it back?” Robbie asks and I find myself grateful for him. He’s on top form with asking questions right now which works well for the rest of us who are still trying to work through our thoughts after hearing about the Warriors.
“After my uncle came back, he contacted the elders and after waiting to hear from them for a few days they informed him that he was now the pack Alpha and free to build his pack. Of course, he wouldn’t officially be known as an Alpha or have a pack until he had more people there but ultimately that’s what he along with he warriors decided to do.
After he heard my story and plans he asked me to stay with him where he could look after me. He promised me that on my 18th birthday that he would bring me to your pack so that I could find my mate. I figured it was the best thing to do. I mean I wouldn’t actually get to know who my mate was until | turned 18 and in the meantime, I could be with my uncle, the only family I had left and I could help him build his pack.
It would take some time but I believed that he would be a fair and worthy Alpha. But of course, life couldn’t be that simple and my uncle never got to become the Alpha that he should have been.
