My Two Alphas

Ace POV

I was parked out the front of Avery and Aamon’s house, it was a cottage style house. She had three houses but this was the main one she lived in with Aamon. From the moment I found out Lucy had been on these pills since she was 12 it had been eating at me, now standing out the front of the witch hybrids house I couldn't bring myself to go knock on her door and ask her.

I didn’t want to be to blame for her depression yet Atticus even grew silent within me, he wholeheartedly believed we were at fault for it too, it was too much of a coincidence that we found out she was our mate when she was 12 and she went on these pills at the same age.

“Do you plan to sit outside and admire the house, or are you casing the joint?” Aamon says misting beside me and sitting in the passenger seat. I jumped the moment I heard his voice, burnt almonds filling my nostrils.

“You know you could have just tapped on my window”

“Hey you are the one out here moping like the little lost pup you are, Avery has made tea, she has been expecting you" Aamon says before disappearing again. I sigh, tossing my door open before shutting it. The front porch light flickers on and the gardens come into view, Avery had a green thumb being a witch I suppose she would but her gardens looked more like a exotic forest as I walked the stone bath to the porch. The door was open already and I walked inside, I could smell burning incense and salt lay across the entryway.

“Don't break the salt line” She calls out from the kitchen. I step over it carefully walking down the long hallway to the back of the house and passing the dining room and living room.

“How though, she has no wolf?” I ask, resting my head on my hand.

“You forget she was forced to shift, her wolf died or so I thought yet she still technically shifted, the bond would have kicked in when yours did Ace, she was just to young to realise it, to understand it"

“So she could feel it, every time I was with Melana?”

“She couldn't feel it like we do, but yes she had some sense of it, it caused her pain. She thought it was to do with the experiments from the facility, her bloodlust, I wasn't going to be the one to tell her it was because her mate was fooling around”

“But that is why I wanted to speak to you, I was glad when I sensed you coming” Avery says.

“Why?”

“Because I noticed something when I saw Lucy the other week, that other issue has been dealt with by the way, my father has taken great pleasure torturing him. But back on topic I don’t think Lucy's wolf is dead. I think she is trapped, dormant”

“You think her wolf is dormant, why would you think that? SHe should have shifted by now if that was the case” I tell her.

“I thought her wolf was dead, there have never been any signs over the years, well until I saw her with both of you, her aura shifted reacted to you both, vampire auras are usually black, her has always been black, until I came to see her, her aura shifted, changed reacting to you both, like her aura drawing on you both, when I removed her mark it turned back to black but I could see it flickering like something was trying to break through, the colour her aura changed to I have only seen in hybrid’s and werewolves”

“I don't get it, what are you saying?”

“I'm saying you and Tyson are bringing something to the surface and I think it is her wolf, I don't think she died, I think she is comatose inside her” Avery tells me.00
