reunion
pov daemon
Well, it's only been ten minutes since the meeting started and I already want to go home. it is impossible for me to concentrate on the discussions, alyss obsesses me. since her arrival in the pack, she accepts my marks of affection more and more easily and no longer tries to avoid my contact. on my side, it's a mess. my wolf needs her and makes me understand it and my human part is starting to get attached too, to the point of not being able to get her out of my head.
I heave a long sigh, running my hand through my hair, I'll have to tell my parents.
an hour later we are given a break and I head out to call the twins.
- Hello?
- trisha, is alyss okay?
- but yes why would there be a problem? she is resting in your room. good now that you are reassured, I leave you, tristan wants a revenge.
she hangs up on me without letting me add anything, i hate when she does that. but on the other hand, knowing that alyss is in my room is enough for my wolf. kyle joins me giving me the notes he took earlier, luckily he's here.
- Ok, so I wanted to apologize for this morning... he begins without daring to look at me. I freaked out and it shouldn't have happened
- I forgive you on one condition
I see him tense up but he doesn't try to protest.
- you will have to redeem yourself with alyss
kyle stares at me in amazement and nods before heading back inside the building for the rest of the rally. I follow him, suppressing a smile and sit down next to him.
- for the second part of this meeting, we are going to talk about a highly sensitive subject, so I would ask you to be attentive, launches a man whom I have never seen. my name is arthur and i am the main alpha of this country. For some time, several packs have been the target of attacks on my territory and I want to arrest those responsible. each time, the pattern is the same: a group of lone wolves enters the territory and threatens several members of the pack to provoke their transformations. a part of them visits the houses so that the pack is complete. they then end up running away but no one knows their true objective.
the recurrence of these attacks on my territory requires my full attention, so I would ask you to kindly give me as much information as possible about this group and the identity of the territories they visited.
the alphas take turns speaking to share the information they have.
- alpha daemon, i'm listening
- they entered my territory yesterday afternoon. they were separated into two groups and the first only observed us without attacking. but the wolf in charge of visiting our dwellings became aggressive and tried to kill my soul mate. we managed to scare him away but not to capture him.
a shiver of fear runs through the room at the sound of my words. every wolf knows the importance of the soulmate bond and the pain of breaking it.
- I see, thank you. alpha jonas, your turn.
the rest of the meeting passes horribly slowly. Since my turn has passed, I've been replaying all the events of yesterday afternoon on a loop, I imagine Alyss' fear when I should have protected her, her pain after falling out of the window, her helplessness when she couldn't free herself from her opponent...
once all affected packs have been noted and told their story, the main alpha dismisses us and schedules a new gathering for the next week.
i'm about to leave the room, kyle on my heels, when the alpha calls out to me.
- be careful daemon, you are the only one to have reported a scene of violence from these foreigners, they may be after you.
- thank you for this advice, I replied impatient to find alyss.
- I won't keep you any longer, go back to your soul mate but in your place, I would increase the security of my territory.
the barely concealed warning from the alpha makes me imagine the worst, what if something had happened while I was gone? my anxiety is finally getting to kyle, he has never driven so fast.
I don't wait for the vehicle to stop to jump out of the car. the twins straighten up when they see me striding across the living room, but I don't give them a single glance. i freeze when i find my bedroom door ajar, from the smell alyss has been gone for a while.
- Where is she ? I asked almost screaming.
- I-I don't know, she told us she was going to sleep and then we didn't see her anymore, trisha answers, staring at her feet.
- she couldn't leave the house without us rationing her, she must not be far, adds her brother to calm me down.
- you had to watch her! I hope for you that nothing happened to him, I threatened, trying to find his trace. search the surroundings, I take care of the house.
I don't wait to see if they obey me, my wolf wants to show me something. he takes me through all the guest rooms, she must have visited the floor. the smell is stronger in front of the last room, it is also the only one that leads to the emergency exit at the back of the house. I enter the room without worrying about the noise I cause and continue to follow the trail of alyss hoping that she has not fled.
I ended up finding her lying on the ground. worried, I rush to her before noticing the many books surrounding her and her regular breathing, she just fell asleep.
I smile taking her in my arms while my wolf growls in satisfaction. I signal that everything is fine to the rest of the pack so that they stop the search.
I lay him down in my bed and take the opportunity to observe him more carefully by sitting on my side of the bed. her hair makes me want to run my hand through it, her face is so peaceful when she sleeps... I had already taken advantage of his first night in the infirmary to observe him before sinking in my turn into sleep.
I don't understand how I could get attached so easily, is it the soulmate bond or my own feelings? and how does she feel about her? she lets me touch her and seems to trust me but I don't know anything about her story.
what if kyle was right? she⅙a would have come to see us for a particular reason... no, she couldn't have foreseen that we would be linked and I find it hard to imagine her trying to kill us. of the
I snap out of my thoughts seeing her move to r11ÿ⁰9⁰)))!⁰y00011⅙ approach me. she is so beautiful... i wish i could hear the sound of her! voice. what bothers me the most is the fact that his wolf is not touched. normally deaf, dumb and/or blind werewolves are also in lupine form. I don't think she was born that way but a traumatic event could have provoked such a reaction.
despite everything, I am really happy to have found the woman of my life. my parents are inseparable and I have always wanted to know a love like theirs. The level of confidence they have in each other and the feelings they have 1 of of 11 for each other are the keys to the solidity of their relationship.
moreover, speaking of them, my father should pass in the next few days on his way back from his business trip. I can't wait to introduce her to Alyss, I already know my family will love her.
