Call of freedom (rewriting-slow updates)

Landon's POV

Months passed since Emma woke up from her comma and we still have no idea what happened back then.

Every once in a while, we either find blood or a letter that only threatens Alexia's life.

Rogues are also still found roaming a few miles away from the pack's borders but, my pack warriors captured two who trespassed our territory. One who was killed on the spot while the other was taken to the pack's prison. He somehow got killed.

As we were interrogating him, the werewolf's brown eyes turned to a bright shade of purple. The same purple ones I saw when Emma got...I don't know what should I call that. Possessed maybe?

That rogue also said a few lines about killing our Luna and revenge. A repeat of what happened but half-out his death. I intended to kill him later on after making him reveal the truth but it seems that someone was either watching us or, there was a curse on him or something that has to do with magic.

After Emma was good to have a talk, she and Alexia spent some time but with no-vain; Emma couldn't remember anything but suddenly getting angry then blacking out.

I sigh as I crumble the new threat which one of the warriors on duty to guard the borders found.

A knock came on my office door. As I told Oliver to come in, we started talking about every clue we have gathered about the threats and rogues. We agreed to speak about them this morning. I left Alexia with Noah and Emma as they went to the library.

"So we know that the threats appear on walls using blood. We don't know who or what blood is it either." Oliver said.

"And the letters come on the second of every month. They are found on the borders' line."Noah shivered as I said that.

"Yeah and, they are also weird and creepy ones. Every time the letter contains one word."

"And up till now, the sentence we have is, «The time will come.»

"And this is the letter with a rogue I found today. It says, «soon.»

This is just way too creepy in my opinion. Who wants to threaten our pack?"

"Oliver, don't forget that I found Alexia this year. They now have a new way to bring us down."

"By hurting her..."

I merely nodded as I went to the door.

"We're going to the rogue?"He fathered the letters and put them in the desk drawer.

"Yes, now."

Oliver's POV

"I said who sent you, mutt!" Landon growled at the rogue.

The rogue sent him a glare.

"Do not try to play this game with me, alpha, you shall only understand what you fear when it hits you ."He snarled back at him.

He was playing a deadly game. Landon's not one of the werewolves you would like to mess with. Ever.

Landon has already beat him up enough. Bruises coloured his entire face. His watery purple eye didn't look so good besides the green, yellow and blue spots on his skin. Blood was oozing out of his most probably broken nose for a while now.

As the rogue tried to spit some saliva mixed with blood on Landon, I heard a crack from his jaw as Landon's knuckles connected with his jaw, breaking it in the process.

He lowly whimpered in pain.

His mouth was now wide open, each jaw was now almost on opposite sides, making him look like a zombie. His eyes rolled back, indicating that he was knocked out.

The guards were standing slightly far in the corner of the room; too afraid of the consequences if they interfere when Landon's beating him.

"Stop it already, he passed out." I sighed as I held his fist.

"Throw him in the cellar. You call me as soon as he wakes up. No food nor water to him either, only treat his jaw. Don't let him die or else." He viciously growled at them. Their smell of fear was evident as his now black eyes glared at them, looking at their souls.

"Don't forget to wash your hands, hour mate will freak out if she finds blood on you." He simply dismissed my comment and closed his eyes as he leaned in his chair.

"We still didn't get any useful information from him. What are we going to do?" I exhaled.

"I don't know. I need to know who the hell dares to threaten us." He snapped, slamming his clenched fists on the desk.

"Why don't you train Alexia? Just in case something happens you know and you're not..."

"I already did and you don't ever think something will happen to her, I'll never let something happen to her."

"Sorry man. How did it go with her? If you need help in training her then I'm here."

"Well, turns out you won't need to, Cara is quite strong. She practically pushed me down while trying to ."

"Cara?" I questioned

"Her wolf." I let my mouth form an "O".

"I'll go now, we will talk more tomorrow. Till then, make sure there are guards on the borders. Do not let anyone enter the territory and if there is a threat, call me." He said as we parted our ways to our homes.

Third person's POV

As Landon parted ways with his beta, he went to find his mate. He was too troubled by the threats.

It was now his goal to make sure his mate, family and pack safe from all the evil surrounding them.

During his walk to his home, he watched his pack being happy. Some ran, laughed, flirted and did everything they wished to do cheerfully. How he hoped to let it stay that way.

"Why is there blood on your knuckles."

That's the very first thing his mate said when she saw him.

She might have had a rough past that traumatised her, but she was certainly getting better with her new family's support and love. She would now bravely point out things that bother her and would laugh out loud.

"I..."

The alpha didn't know what to say to her. It wasn't on his mind at that time that he should tell her more about his reputation. He wasn't the nice guy with everyone like he was with her.

"You're not hurt, are you."

"No. It's not my blood." he murmured, ashamed from what he thought enigma

She took his considerably large hand in her tiny one and dragged him to the bathroom; cleaning his dirty knuckles.

She wasn't new to blood. In fact, it was her old friend as well as pain.

"Does it hurt, though?" she simply asked as she made sure he was completely alright.

He merely shook his head in rejection.

"Do you want to talk with me about it?" she inquired.

He sighed before nodding. He knew he had to talk to her about his status.

"We caught a rogue wandering near the borders today. Almost inside our land. I tried to interrogate him, but..."

"But what?" She softly murmured.

"He had purple eyes. Identical to the one Emma had."At this, she gasped.

"Did you kill him?" She whispered too low. If Landon hadn't known better, he would've thought that she was talking to herself.

He shook his head in response to her statement.

"I need to know more about the –"

"Threats." She interjected.

"Lexi, I know that we didn't talk about my stature around other packs. I'm sorry we didn't talk earlier, everything has been upside down lately. I am not the friendliest alpha out there. Forgive me, please." He breathed the final statement.

There was a long silence between them. Only their breaths and the threats they have been receiving for months were loudly around them.

The alpha didn't talk, he let his mate soak up all the new information.

"Did you get the letter, yet?"

"Yes," He groaned.

"It said <soon>."

"Right..." She mumbled.

"Do you think it's the Twilight pack?"

"Maybe. Since no one holds grudges against you except them." He snarled, remembering what they did to Alexia when she used to be in their pack.

"Sorry, I didn't mean for it to turn out that way." He apologised; knowing how his mate hates snarling, she had enough of them for a lifetime. She simply nodded in awareness.

Landon watched his mate's eyes, he saw them change from the moment they met in the forest at that time. They were dull, sorrow swam through them but, as they grew closer, he watched them alter to happiness and life. Sometimes, he thought he wouldn't be able to make her become happy. His joy couldn't be described when she began to warm up to him and he was damned if he let her return to what she was before...

Really sorry for the late update! don’t hate/kill me, please :’)

Did you like the chapter? Are you surprised with Landon? Again, I apologise for the short chapter. I intended to make it longer but I realised that if I did, I would probably confuse you with the events or most probably I'll write it...well bad.

How’s life everyone? My dad told my mum that he thinks I have depression haha~ (I don’t have btw)
