SWNOVELS Chapter Chapter No 17 Aggression
She was crying out loudly. It was the first time she was letting it all out.
“It’s okay, Althea don’t worry you are safe here, your secret is safe with us,” she said while hugging her.
“We will train you,” said a deep, strong, masculine voice behind her. She had gone startled. “Mateo!” She said,
“But I can’t train, my, my wolf,” she said.
“Don’t worry no one will judge you here because of your wolf,” he said calmly.
“Yeah you can get training for your own safety, the pack is your home now Althea,” she said smiling.
“Okay, we will start today. Every young werewolf of the pack gathers around at 12 for training.” He said smiling.
She was sitting in the room thinking about her future when she heard a door knock. She turned. It was Wanda.
“Hey Wanda,” she said, smiling.
“Hey Althea, today is your first training day so here are your training clothes,” she gives her a bag.
“Thanks, Wanda, I don’t know how I will pay back you guys for what you have done for me,” she said while looking out of the window.
Wanda walked ahead and hugged her.
“I know you miss him don’t you?” She said,
“I don’t know Wanda even Lilly has stopped taking his name,” she said, sadly.
“Ah don’t worry Althea you have us now,” she said smiling.
All of the werewolves were there. Mateo walked ahead and stood beside Althea.
“Pack members, we have a new member in our pack, her name is Althea, and she will live with us from now to onwards,” he said while looking at the crowd.
They all greeted her.
“Althea, they were the three rogues but now they are pack members so we don’t like to use the word rogue for them. This is Nicolas, she is Anna, and he is Quin. Three years ago, Nicolas had joined us, one and half years ago Anna came and six months ago Quin had joined us,” he said while introducing her to three wolves.
“Three, just three?” She asked.
“Yeah, sadly rogues are afraid to join the packs so….” He said sheepishly.
“Okay Althea you will get trained with Wanda,” he said.
Wanda came ahead to fight. Althea knew few because she had learned them from Jacob. She dodges her punch. She punched her back, but she missed it. Finally, she defeats Wanda.
“Wonderful for the first day Althea,” Mateo said.
“Who is next to fight with her?” He asked.
“I,” said a voice, she turned to look it was Abigail, Delta’s daughter; she had nasty expressions like she has envy with Althea.
“No, not you,” said Wanda.
“Why not? She can’t take me?” She said with pride.
“Mateo, no you can’t let her, Althea is not trained yet Abigail will be brutal to her” she pleads with Mateo.
“Wanda I can take it,” said Althea before Mateo could say anything.
“Are you sure? She is brutal,” said Mateo.
“Yeah I am sure,” she said assuredly.
Abigail walked ahead toward her.
She punched Abigail over her face with sharpness and she dodged her punch.
“No wonder rogues like you are weak and pathetic, that’s why they are rejected pieces,” said Abigail while punching her.
“She is quick,” said Wanda.
“Yeah she is,” said Mateo in a trance.
Althea kicked her hard in the stomach. She fell. Something was into her. She was out of control. She punched her hard over the face and she was continuously doing it.
“Althea stop, you will kill her” screamed Mateo.
But she was not listening to anyone. Alpha Julius came running. She was not listening to anyone. She turned into her wolf. It was clearly a force shift. A huge grayish-brown wolf was staring at Abigail.
“Enough, I, the Alpha of the north pole Pack, command you to turn back,” said Alpha Julius.
But much to his horror the command was not working on her. He looked at Mateo in horror. Mateo turned into his wolf. His wolf was black. He ran towards Lilly and tried to console her. She gives a very painful vine and ran into the woods.
“I think it’s mate bond pain,” said Grace to Wanda.
“Mateo, I want you in my room,” said Alpha Julius and turned.
She was running into the woods aimlessly. His face was all over in her mind. His smile, his way of gazing all she was thinking.
She felt her heartbreak. She turned into her human again and was now crying and screaming his name. She was screaming so loud. This time it was not his wolf, this time it was her, who was howling. She looked so broken. Exhausted, she fell unconscious.
Meanwhile in Riverstone
“Tyler!” He was sitting in the bar and drinking when he heard a scream, a very faint scream.
“It’s her, she is in pain,” he whispered.
His heart was aching, she was his, but still, he could not hold her, he could not tell her how much he needs her, his wolf needs her. He rushed out of the club and straight to his car. He drove to his house and later he ran towards his room. He opened up his closet. He was searching for something. After a while, he found the jacket. He grabbed it and smelled it.
“Just like her,” he whispered.
A year later
“Althea, Alpha was looking for you,” said Wanda. “Coming,” she screamed. She ran towards Alpha’s office.
“Yes, Alpha!” She said,
“Althea dear, one of my priced wolves,” he said happily.
Grace was rocking little Eden, who was born a few months ago.
“Grace, how is our little boy?” she asked while walking towards her.
“He is such a quiet child, I wonder sometimes, growing up he would barely talk,” she said laughing.
“Yeah, but I can bet he would be a lady killer,” Julius said laughing.
“Never, I will never let our son end up like you,” she said angrily.
Alpha Julius laughed.
“Did not my Charms work on my precious mate?” He said while coming closer to her. She blushed brightly.
Althea smiled.
“Mate bond is so beautiful isn’t it?” Said Lilly.
But Althea did not reply.
“Alpha, why did you call me?” She asked.
“Yeah, Althea, I wanted to tell you that since Mateo is in the meeting with a fellow pack, he will be here after two days, I want you to host the Alpha and Upcoming Luna, who is visiting us tonight,” he said.
She nodded. She turns to leave.
She was so much in a rush that she did not hear Alpha Julius calling her.
“At least hear me, girl what packs they are coming from,” he said in a loud voice but she was gone.
“Let her, she must have gone to get ready,” said Grace while kissing him over his cheek.
“You always turn me on doing this,” he said in a deep voice. She smiled.
Eden giggled.
“Look Julius he giggled for the first time,” she said looking happily at her son.
“I don’t know why he was always so serious, none of us were like that,” said Julius.
“Heartbreaker,” said Grace laughing.
“Her mate would keep him in line like you did to me,” he said laughing.
She laughs and kissed him on the cheek.
“Okay, I have to do this, I will not let down the Alpha,” she said.
“Need help?” Asked Wanda, who was standing behind her.
“Wanda? Oh, yeah I need help, what should I wear? I mean I am going to host,” she said happily.
“Hmm let me check,” she said and turned to her wardrobe.
“Here, You should wear this,” she said smiling.
“Whoa, that’s good, thanks Wanda,” she said happily.
“Anything for you,” said Wanda happily.
“Wanda?” She called her name.
“Yeah?” She asked.
“I know you don’t like the topic, but what if you found your mate?” She asked.
“I don’t hate the idea of being with a mate, but what if he did the same to me as yours did to you?” She asked sadly,
“Wanda, your story differs from mine, he threatened to reject me because I was different and abnormal, but you, you are a normal wolf, I can bet your mate will never do this with you,” she said smiling.
“Let’s see,” said Wanda shortly. She smiled.
“You don’t know how strong a mate bond is,” she said in a whisper.
“Do you still like him? I know you do. I heard you crying under the shower Althea, I don’t want the same pain for me,” she said while looking into her eyes.
“Wanda, yes I like him, he is my mate, my other half, I was destined to be with him, but he does not want that, my story is complicated but yours? It must have sparks,” she said while patting her shoulder.
“I wish I could see that guy,” said Wanda and got up.
She left the room.
“I wish I could too,” she said in a whisper.
She got up and got inside the shower. She took her clothes off and turned on the shower.
It always numbed her feelings. She had not felt the heat for months, maybe her body is now used to living without him, her wolf becomes aggressive during fights, that’s why Mateo took charge to train her instead.
A whole year has passed since she saw him. She misses him, but she knows he might have long forgotten about him.
A tear fell and got mixed with the water and one by many tears fell. She started crying hysterically.
“Tyler, I wish I was a normal wolf, not any Canis Lupus, just a normal wolf, no special Althea just a normal Althea, I wish you never had rejected me I wish Tyler, I wish badly,” she said crying.
She got ready in half an hour. She took a deep breath.
“Someone seems to be in a good mood,” said Alex.
“You are coming with me?” She said exhausted.
“Yeah Alpha’s order” he shrugged.
“I prefer to burn my ass with a wolfsbane instead of going with you,” she screamed.
“Why honey, you feel uneasy by my charms?” he asked while getting up.
“Yeah, so charms oh gosh I can’t handle these charms, I wish the moon goddess sent his mate here kindly so that I can finally realize that he is taken,” she said dramatically while looking up.
“Is he teasing again?” said Wanda.
“Wanda darling? Two beauties here in front of me I am dying,” he said dramatically.
She rolled her eyes.
“This definitely will not go well,” said Wanda.
“Why does Alpha have to send him?” she whispered to Wanda.
“I think you are getting into trouble,” Wanda said, looking at her in pity.
Althea took a deep breath. “Let’s go,” she said and grabbed him by his collar.
“Hey slow down, you will scratch my pretty neck” he resisted.
“It’s your neck, not face,” called out Wanda.
“We are waiting here in the sunlight for more than hours,” said Alex, annoyed.
“Why? Is it bad for your beauty?” She said annoyed.
He rolled his eyes “Oh shut it Althea, I was just worried about you,” he said winking at her.
“You,” She was about to approach him when the rain started.
“Oh no,” She said, annoyed.
Weathers near to north pole were always so unpredictable.
“Where on the planet they are now? Look, we are all wet,” Alex was so angry.
“We have to receive them and take them to pack the house, who is patrolling on territory today?” She asked.
“It’s Ben, Sue, and Abigail,” he said.
“Where is your twin Rain?” She asked.
“You know since she and Nicolas found they are mates, they could be found in every dark corner you know what I mean,” he said winking.
“You are disgusting,” she said awfully.
Then the limo approached them, “It’s them,” Alex said.
It stopped in front of them and the door opened. The person who came out of it would be the last person Althea could expect.
“Tyler,” she said in a whisper.
