Alejandro left and I knew he had heard . our conversation … But how much of it ? Did he hear the part where I asked Aunty Indy if he knew …. I expected him to be honest … It was high time I tried to do my part too … My stomach twisted , knowing deep down a time would come when I’d have to tell him about Rayhan … I looked down , sighing deeply .
” El … ” Aunty whispered . ” I don’t know what to say Indy … I can’t believe I had to hear that from him and not you . I’m your brother ; heck , that’s what I’m there for ! You should have told me . ” ” I didn’t want you to get mad at him or make him leave . ” She whispered , breaking into tears . Dad pulled her into his arms , I could see the pain and sadness on his face . He was always there for us …
” After what Jessica’s been through , and you girls as well , why would you settle for this Indy ? The goddess did not create mates to hurt one another . ” He whispered , caressing her hair .
” I know , but the bond is strong , I always hoped he’d come around . I know he will ! ” She said , looking up at Dad . Dad simply shook his head and held her tight , I suddenly felt emotional as I watched him comfort her . He was always watching out for us , always there … Yet we just hid stuff from him .
Dad was a father and a brother who loved us unconditionally . I felt guilty for always complaining about how suffocated I felt … He only cared for us … But only lately did that seem to be clear and after Auntie’s revelation , I was sure stuff like this were his reasons . ” It’s been years since you’ve met … Things should not have been like this , Indy .
No one deserves to stay in a situation like that . Be strong and perhaps the Goddess has other plans but Indy …. This isn’t right . I don’t care what you decide or what Alejandro decides , but I’m taking you home with me . ” Dads words were final .
” No please he’ll- ” ” Get mad ? I don’t really think he has that ” Dad said coldly and I right anymore . ” knew he was pissed . ” Elijah , please . It’s not that bad ! ” ‘ Aunty had broken bones and countless bruises . The night I lost control was because he came home smelling of sex . ‘ I said to Dad through the link . Yes , it wasn’t my place to say , but I couldn’t just keep it secret since the truth was out .
More so , I knew Dad could help her like I couldn’t . Dad frowned deeply but didn’t reply . ” I’m going to go pack . ” I said before I took my leave … An hour had passed and I was done with m y packing . I had still managed to bake some more brownies . I don’t know why I did it . Well , I guess I could tell myself that they were just some treats for the journey ?
Although I knew exactly why I had made these … My heart skipped a beat at the thought of him as I packed a bag of snacks for the ride too Serena had told me we would be going by car for the most part . I had an ominous feeling about that forest , like a dark and unsettling weight , resting in the pit of my stomach every time I thought of it .
Things had been tense when Mom found out about Indigo , and while she was calmer than when she found out about me and Alejandro , she was still enraged and completely agreed with Dad’s decision to take Aunty back with them . She had been getting worked up and I had been worried , so I had mind linked Mom and Dad , telling them that Aunty was pregnant .
I didn’t tell them about why she miscarried the last few times as I hoped Aunty told them that herself , but I did want them to know she was pregnant and didn’t need any extra stress so they had to deal with her patiently . I was glad she was going to go back to the Blood Moon pack . A t least she’ll be safe there . ” Alejandro’s outside . ” Darien said , popping his head into the room with a huge grin on his face . ” You seem happy to have him gone . ” I said , amused .
” No , I’m happy that you two are going to work things out . ” He said with such confidence that I raised my brow . ” Aren’t you very confident considering you were silent last night ? ” I said sceptically . ” I have to listen to and respect my Alpha , I have faith in him .
” He said , with a small smile . ” Thank you , for giving him a chance . ” ” Yeah … well … let’s see . ” I said . I haven’t done anything yet … but I hoped we could work things out . I met Mom and Dad , Rayhan and his family as someone took my bags to the car . I walked outside to see Alejandro talking to a few men . My gaze roamned his broad back , the way his shirt fitted him , his tattooed arms , his ass … Was it wrong that I wanted to kiss every inch of him ?
I bit my lip , my core throbbing at just how hot he was .. Ok , focus . We were not going to go down that path until things were fixed … I turned away , just in time as he glanced over at me .
That cold , arrogant expression on his face , as he blew out the smoke from his cigarette . His eyes glinting as he looked at me , almost as if he knew I was checking him out . ” Before we leave , there’s one stop we need to make . ” He said , coming over as he looked down at me . ” Where to ? ” ” The cells . ” He said , his face was now serious . I could sense his displeasure .
He didn’t want to do this … I nodded and he led the way as I followed . I wanted to know what h e did with Fred but I didn’t speak . I intended to ask but not right now . We reached the cells , the smell of metal , blood and something else filled my nose . I t was dark in here . My breath hitched when I felt his strong hand take mine . My heart was racing as I slowly closed my fingers around his , allowing him to lead me .
His hand was so much larger than my slender one … His calloused finger pads grazed my soft skin . I tried to calm the storm that was rising within me . This simple yet thoughtful move … This was all I had wanted … His love , his concern and care . Exactly what he was showing me now . Why couldn’t we have just had this before we both acted on impulse and rash decisions ? Well , I guess it was too late to regret it .
As we got deeper into the cells it got chillier , and I couldn’t even tell if it was light outside . The cold damp seemed to cling to my skin and the feeling that this place never got fresh air wrapped around me . The sound of a weak unearthly growl greeted my ears and my heart thudded . ” It’s the Wendigo . Do you think you’d be able to see if in any way you could get anything from it ? ” ” I can try . ” I said . ” Good .
” He said . He let go of my hand and I missed the feeling of his touch . The scraping of the chains and padlock was all I could hear before the door was swung open , grating against the ground . Once again , his hand wrapped around mine , sending sparks of pleasure through me . ” I should have brought a fucking light ,
I left my phone too . ” I smiled . ” I’m fine , it’s tied right ? I just need to touch it . ” I said , feeling its weak heart beating . It was dying but there was no smell of blood . Was it poisoned ? ” It’s tied and I’m right here . ” Came his deep voice .
” Are you poisoning it ? ” ” No , it’s fucking tied , which will do the damn job . ” He said . ” It’s dying . ” I said , my heart skipping a beat as he touched the small of my back , guiding me closer . The thing growled , the sound of chains echoed in the cell as it struggled to break free . A futile attempt .
” Not sure why , maybe starvation ? ” He said thoughtfully . I could sense the beast stir restlessly and Alejandro’s closeness . I placed my hand o In the Wendigo , the matted fur making me internally cringe . Pain . Agony . Despair .
I gasped at the burning emotions that rushed through me , tears sprung to my eyes at the emotions that came from this very beast . The urge to ease its pain overcame me and I saw the faint purple in the darkness .
All I wanted was to help . Before me , I didn’t think it was a monster . To me it felt like something in pure agony , a being that needed respite . ” What the fuck … ” Alejandro’s words came . I don’t know what it
was , in this darkness I couldn’t see anything . Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Then a sudden realisation hit me . I was no longer touching fur but skin . I jerked my hand back . ” You … You’ve reversed whatever process he had gone through … ” Alejandro murmured , sounding almost in awe . My heart thudded as I could now smell that distinct smell that only rogue wolves carried . ” Well fuck . ” Alejandro’s voice came .
