Chapter 13

Matilda's POV

When I woke up I was still in Alex's house, in his room, in his shirt. I tried to get up but I had a heavy thing on my waist. I started to feel it with my hand and when I did, I sractched it. Hard.

"Hey! That hurts," I heard Alex behind me. So he didn't leave me here alone over night.

"Sorry," I whispered and sat straight. He did the same and I took my time to check his face out. His jaw was sharp, his brown eyes shining under the sun rays, his hair messy.

"It's okay," he yawned and I looked outside. I didn't sleep well last night. Mani and Diana had been asking me to meditate and telling me that Andrew need me.

"How did you sleep?" I asked and he smiled.

"I slept great. With the Queen next to me," he said with a grin and I blushed but looked away. He can't see my cheeks getting red.

"Okay," I whispered and he placed his hand on my waist and pulled my closer. He turned me so now my back was on his chest.

"How did you sleep?" He asked and I sighed. I don't think he should even ask. I left my 'older mate' alone and I bet he didn't sleep a wink.

"I slept fine," I lied and he chuckled. Stupid crazy ass.

"Lies. I'm sorry to say this but did you know you were speaking in your sleep last night?" he asked and I got up and stared at him.

"I don't talk in my sleep." I stated and he scoffed.

"Yeah right," he laughed and I laughed too before slapping his chest. He laughed harder and I smiled.

"Why didn't you leave?" I asked scooting away from him. Making a little space between us.

"You are my mate," he said and I nodded. I did understand that part but why didn't he go back to his so called sister.

"I thought you had a sister," I said and he nodded before pulling me closer to him.

"And you are my mate. Selene told me everything yesterday while your mother was set on chopping my head off," I scoffed at his statement.

"What is your point exactly?" I asked and he kissed my knuckles.

"I didn't leave because I want to prove it to you that you are my one and only. I really want to show you I care and regret what I did, Selene told me something else. When I was twenty one I found a mate, I remember the story also. I followed her scent but when I got to the direction it led me, I was in the middle of no where," he said and took a huge pause. I really wanted to know what happened next.

"And?" I asked and he looked down at me before kissing my forehead.

"I was walking back home when I felt it..." I cut him off this time.

"The scent?" I asked getting jealous that he got his first mate and it wasn't me. I'm a girl, can you blame me.

"No. The pain on my chest. It felt like my heart was being chopped into pieces. I felt like I was dying. Goddess Selene said she and her sister had made a mistake then. I was not supposed to meet you yet and... When we sensed your smell in those woods, Dean and I were happy. I went and ruined it before it began," he said with a smile and I smiled back. He was happy to meet me after waiting for me for three hundred years.

"I was scared that day. I thought wrong turns would get to me and eat me. Alive," I told him and he leaned on the headboard.

"They won't get you. I won't let you go when I have waited for you for approximately three hundred and something years," he said and pulled me to him. He was my home too. Even though something else was missing.

"You do know that I'm only fifteen right?" I asked and he chuckled before placing a kiss on my nose.

"And you do know I'll wait for you till forever right?" he mocked back and I rolled my eyes.

"Not funny," I hit his chest but he laughed.

"It's funny for me," he said and I pushed away from him. His grip around me tightened and I chuckled before placing a kiss on his chest.

"I'm gonna head to the bathroom before going back home," I said and he nodded.

"Okay. Enjoy your time in there!" He yelled after me and I rolled my eyes then entered the bathroom.

Have you ever felt like your world is small but with more people? Have you ever felt happy that someone would pick you over anyone else? Or that you should wake up dead and leave everyone behind? I feel like that. I feel like my world would come crumbling down. I feel like I should have died on that fight than wake up. But again, I would leave Alex and Andrew with one of those hoes like Jane and Hemara. Totally not what I'm planning. I took off the shirt and looked at the mirror. I was staring back at my reflection. My hair was changing colour. From the roots and up to, maybe five centimetres was light blue then the rest was navy blue.

"Babe I..." I tried to cover my hair with the shirt but I think he saw it. Fuck me.

"I'll be out in a second," I told him and he nodded leaving the room. I sighed and took a toothbrush. Brushed my teeth and splashed water on my face. I put the shirt back on and walked out. I was praying that he would not be in the room but I guess my prayers were quite short. He was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. I walked to the bed and sat next to him. I placed my head on his shoulder as his hand went around my waist. Pulling me closer to him. I inhaled his scent and waited for him to ask me questions. He didn't ask anything in over five minutes so I'm guessing he is having second thoughts.

I pulled away from him and walked out of the bedroom. I walked to the living room and sat by the window. I was staring outside, lost in my own world. Why is my existence a curse? Why should I be punished because of what I am?

Wolves aren't supposed to live but I don't hate them. I used to but not totally all of them. My brother is one and so are my mates.

"Don't think hard about it," I heard Alex say behind me.

"Do you want something to eat?" I asked trying to do something that would get my mind off of stuffs.

"No," he said and I nodded before looking out of the window again.

I wish I wasn't never born. But I don't want to die either.

"I was practising bending," I said after a long silence and he sighed sitting on the sofa just in front of me.

"Why would you practice that?" He asked and I chuckled.

"It turns out George is in trouble, I had to train so that I can protect him from any spell he would be under. Seems like every time I try to train, my hair change. Whenever I make progress, my hair get lighter. Witches will find out that I'm an earthbender then kill..." he cut me off and I sighed but I wasn't annoyed.

"They will never succeed. I will be with you every steps of the way. Do you think Andrew will forgive me though?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and I smiled at that. He cares about my other mate.

"He shall. You are my mate too aren't you?" I asked and he chuckled before pulling me closer to him.

"I don't want you to fight him so that he can forgive me. I will ask forgiveness in my own. Let's get you home" he said ruffling my hair.

"Okay. You aren't gonna leave me right?" I asked walking closer to him and he sighed then pulled me so now I was straddling him.

"Like I said, I'm never letting you go. Its gonna take a lot to make me leave you. Not someone like Hemera," he said and I nodded with a chuckle then laid my head on his chest.

"Shall we go?" I asked and felt him nod.

"Of course." he said and I smiled before I sat straight and pecked his lips before getting off him. We walked together out of the house and I waited as he locked the door.

"Let me give you a piggy back ride," he offered and I looked at him before looking at the road. I shrugged and got on his back with his help of course. He started running and I placed my head on his neck.

He ran faster and I held him tighter when I felt like I was flying. I sighed happily when he stopped and helped my down. We were in front of Silver Creek Packhouse. I looked at him and he looked at the door. Soon it was opened by Andrew and he was throwing punches at Alex. He was not fighting. He was accepting them and I didn't like it.

"Andrew stop!" I yelled but he didn't stop.

"How could you?" He yelled at Alex before throwing more punches.

"George!" I yelled looking at the door but it never opened. People started gathering around us while I tried to get them to stop.

"Nyx! Where have you been?" Diana started scolding me and I grabbed both her hands.

"Make them stop please," I begged but she shook her head. Everyone was now watching. Including George, granny and mom.

"Andrew stop!" I yelled but he didn't listen. I ran towards them and stood in front of him. He pushed me to the side gently and went to hit Alex. I made it look like I fell painfully and started screaming. It caught their attention like before. I should use this more often since its the only thing that brings them back to earth.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked kneeling in front of me. His shirt was torn and his nose was bleeding. He had a small cut on his forehead.

"Did I hurt you?" Andrew came to kneel on my side and held my hands. He didn't have any blood or cuts but his knuckles were hurt. Its either the blood was his or Alex's.

"My ankle hurt," I said feigning pain and they looked at it before Alex held it and started twisting and turning it gently.

"Right there," I said and he nodded before doing it over and over and over again. Andrew was watching me with hurt in his eyes.

"I don't blame you," I said and his eyes turned to me. The crowd started deforming.

"I hurt you," he said and I shook my head and got up.

"Both of you, get up," I said and they followed. I pulled them to Andrew's office.

"I'm really sorry..." I cut him off and heard him sigh.

"I really need you guys to get along," I begged and they looked at each other. Andrew scoffed.

"He rejected you Mary," Andrew argued pointing at Alex. I sighed and looked at the ceiling.

"Because he was under a spell," I said and he shook his head.

"Why isn't he the one to apologise to me... to you?" He asked and I looked at Alex, he nodded his head at me before looking at Andrew.

"I'm sorry for causing you troubles and blaming you for my father's death Andrew. I was unprofessional and for that, I'm really sorry. Lynn, I'm sorry for everything I have done to hurt you. I promise it won't happen again. If only you both would give me the chance to prove to you that I..." I cut him off surprising them both.

"I forgive you and I am so giving you another chance," I said and he smiled looking at Andrew.

"I also forgive you but only because I don't want to lose my Mary," he said and I smiled as they shook their hands calling it truce. I smiled and walked to them. I hugged them both and while we were lost in the peaceful lovely moment, someone decided to come in without knocking.

"Alpha! Your..." Andrew cut him off.

"Learn to knock!" He yelled at the poor man and he looked at the floor.

"What is it?" Alex asked the man nicely and he looked at Andrew for approval. Andrew had a deadly look on his face.

"Well!?" His voice boomed in the room making both mine and the man's eyes go wide.

"Your mother is here alpha," the man said shakily and I looked at Andrew. His jaw was clenched as his eyes we boring a hole on the wall.

"You're dismissed," I said to the man and he looked at me. I nodded my head and he walked out hurriedly. I was feeling sorry for him as he looked like he was about to piss his pants.

"Do you think we should give him space?" Alex asked and I shook my head.

"And give him a chance to wreck the entire room? Definitely a no," I said and he nodded.

"I don't think the former Luna and Alpha would want me here. I have to go, I'll see you soon though," he said and I nodded. He kissed the top of my head and left the room. I turned to Andrew and hugged him. His hands slowly went to my waist to pull me closer.

"I didn't mean to scare you," he said and I nodded and licked his chin. He chuckled and licked my forehead.

"That's disgusting," I whined pushing his face away. He laughed before kissing my lips.

"Is it not when you do it?"

"I like it when I do it!" I yelled at him and he rolled his eyes before looking at the door.

"My mom is still the Luna," he said and I shrugged.

"That can't make you hate her," I said and he shook his head.

"I don't hate her. I don't want her to find out that you are an earthbender," he said and I laughed grabbing his hands.

"She won't," I said and he nodded kissing the top of my head.

"Honey!" An elderly lady voice was heard behind the door and I pulled away from Andrew. I took the hat that was on the table and put it on.

"Mom," Andrew said once the door was opened and the woman walked in. I looked at her and she gasped looking at me.

"One of those bitches again?" She asked and I looked at Andrew. He was fighting his wolf, I could tell.

"Sorry. I'll be at Alex's. See you later," I said and walked out of the room. I bumped into Achlys on my way out of the office.

"What are you wearing?" She asked looking at my hat.

"Its nothing. I'm fine," I said and she nodded her head.

"Yeah right," she said and yanked it off my head. Five gasps were heard and I looked towards them. It was Serene, Selene, Diana, Grandma and George.

"She... her... change?" Diana asked and I turned to her. I gave her a small smile and yanked the hat from Achlys and put it on.

"Your hair is changing," Selene said and I nodded my head.

"Why is it turning light blue and not green or normal blue?" Diana asked and I looked at Serene.

"Its the powers in her," Serene said and everyone looked at her.

"What do you mean?" Diana asked and came to stand next to me. She took the hat halfway off and looked at my hair.

"She can heal a wolf and witch. That's why everyone is after her," Serene said and granny gasped.

"That's what they were talking about?" She asked and I turned to her.

"We can't talk about that here," Selene said and led us outside. We started walking to the direction of Alex's pack.

"Who talking about what?" Diana asked granny and I looked at George. He shrugged and I nodded.

"Shipton. He said something about how me and Lizzie are fools to allow and Earthbender in our house and get sick," she said and my eyes went wide.

"Who is Shipton?" George asked and I looked at grandma.

"He is the son of he who shall not be named," Serene said and George nodded. They started talking about how we have to stay protected blah blah blah.

After that was settled, I walked to Alex's pack. He was on his phone with whoever.

"Hey," I whispered and he turned to me. He smiled and hung up then walked towards me.

"Guess who I was on the phone with?" I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

"Hemera?" I asked and he scoffed shaking his head. He pulled me close to him by my waist.

"Andrew," he stated and my eyes went wide as we sat on his chair.

"Oh? What did he want?" I never knew he had his number.

"He asked to stay here for a while. Can't be far from his mate can he?" He asked and I shook my head raising an eyebrow.

"Can you?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Never," he said and placed his head on my chest. Right above my breasts.

"Let's make a video for my YouTube," I gave him begging eyes and he shook his head.

"What kind of video?" He asked and I smiled evily at him.

"A singing video," I said and he laughed shaking his head.

"Me and singing?" He asked and I gave him puppy ryes.

"Fine," he said and I got off him and pulled him to his bedroom. This is gonna be fun.
