First Love Of The Alpha
Chapter 61

Conners POV

I was waiting with Louise and Maureen in Lily’s room when I got a link that Lexi was headed out to the woods.

We were all shocked that Ben and Alpha Rodger had gotten shot and by Lexi out of all people. Our list of enemies just kept growing. I thought after her part in Lily and Ben’s wreck, she would have backed off. I always thought it was more Brooke pushing her more than anything.

Brody was camped out to the left of the pack house. Lexi was headed more to the north west. Slightly out of the way where the rogues were waiting out.

Maureen had insisted on going with us. “I’m not letting you two go out alone in the woods, where there’s rogues. That’s seriously stupid.”

“Brody, won’t let anything happen to us. He’s out there. “

“Well, I’m still going. He might not be quick enough to get to you in time.”

Louise smirked. But I wasn’t amused. “You doubting our wolfy skills?”

“No, I’m saying I’m a powerful witch. Use me. It has nothing to do with your wolfy skills.” She turned her head away from me, smirking, just like Louise.

As soon as we got outside, our warriors were running past us and shifting mid-air.

We stayed close to the pack house, walking towards the front. I figured we wouldn’t want to take the same trail as Lexi. That would just be asking to get caught.

I found the large rock and bush that Brody said she walked between and went about thirty feet past that before we started to walk into the woods.

We didn’t get too far into the woods when i realized we were being too loud. Every twig we stepped on snapped, making it impossible to go unnoticed.

I was slightly frustrated. Lexi would definitely take off if she hears us or worse, we would just tip of the rogues. Basically, we’re digging our own graves if we got caught. Maybe it was a good idea that Maureen came.

Maureen started chanting, I’m guessing some sort of spell. She was making me nervous.

She finally stopped and scowled me. “I’m not trying to kill you Conner relax, I can feel your anxiety. I put a sound barrier around us. I know Esme put a scent blocker in the potion, and now they won’t be able to hear us temporarily. “

“I didn’t think you were going to kill me, maybe turn me into a toad but definitely not kill me.”

Maureen and Louise both rolled their eyes.

“So how long is this supposed to last?”

She shrugged her shoulders. “There’s no way to know. I will be able to feel it weaken, though. A room is easier and can last years, but with us moving, it makes it a little tricky.”

I was actually really impressed. “So we can talk right in front of them, and they wouldn’t hear us?”

“No, they wouldn’t hear us, but they can see us. So we have to stay hidden.”

“Damn, wish I had the cloak from Harry Potter.”

I got a huge grin from her that time. Landyn said she was a big nerd over Harry Potter. “I take it Landyn told you it’s one of my favorites. “

“Yup, but do I get points for making you smile?”

She shook her head. She suddenly stopped and dunked down behind a fallen tree.”Shh, you hear that? Just listen.”

“Yeah, that’s Lexi, but I dont recognize the males voice. “

I moved closer to behind a large bush and peaked around it. It was a taller man, blondish brown hair. I’ve never seen him before. The smell finally hit my nostrils, and I knew he was rogue.

I heard him speak. “The moon goddess is a funny woman to have you mated to me.”

Louise came up behind me. “Oh, s**t this is gonna get good.”

“Shhh!!”

Louise and Maureen gave me a dirty look. “They can’t hear us dumb, dumb.”

“I know. I’m trying to see how the soap opera plays out.”

Maureen looked worried. ” We really need to head back soon. Is there any news on how the fight is going.”

“Brody said good so far, no deaths on our end, but they didn’t send all the rogues in yet. He thinks they are waiting on something.”

Maureen looked even more worried. “I’m wondering if they’re waiting on word that your Luna has Lily. We really should head back.”

“I think you’re right. They can use the extra rogues as a distraction to get her out of pack lands.” I linked Brody to let him know.

“s**t, dunk down.” We watched Lexi run back up to the pack house.

“Damn it, we missed what was said. If Ben gets pissed im blaming you two.”

They both stuck their tongues out at me. I watched Louise peak around the corner on all fours. Her a*s was on display, and I couldn’t help but admire it.”

“He’s gone.” Louise looked back at me. “Seriously, you’re checking me out now?”

“Hey, you’re the one that borrowed a pair of yoga pants from Lily, and it’s working for ya.”

Louise just slapped my arm. “Let’s just head back before anything happens with Luna Meghan or anyone else. “

I linked Ben letting him know that Lexi was headed back that way.

We all ran back. We knew the girls needed to get to Lily, especially Maureen, and she didn’t want to teleport and leave us stranded if something happened.

Lexi’s POV

I moved closer to the smell. It was drawing me in. It was intoxicating.

The closer I got, the more nervous I was getting. I knew everyone in the pack. Which meant none of them were my fated mate.

So, whose scent was this? I felt myself start to panic for the hundredth time today.

I knew the rogues were out here, getting ready to fight behind the pack house. It made me think. The moon goddess wouldn’t be so cruel to mate me with a rogue, would she?

I finally heard the fighting start. It only meant that Luna Meghan wouldn’t be long now.

I came up on him, and he was gorgeous. He had blondish brown hair and was very muscular. It wasn’t Myles and Landyn muscular, but still nice. He was just a tad smaller than Ben.

He didn’t look like a rogue. He was dressed very nicely in jeans and a flannel. His hair was a little messy and falling in his face.

He looked deep in my eyes and heard him say, mate. I saw no emotion. I think we both knew we needed to reject each other.

He finally spoke. “I was wondering if you would be brave enough to find me. I smelt you as soon as you stepped outside. “

“You’re a rogue?”

“And you must be Lexi?”

How the hell does he know my name. Has he been watching me. I started to feel freaked out. It’s not like I could defend myself.

“My mother told me a girl named Lexi would be meeting us in this spot. Is that not you?”

I knew I was being completely awkward. “Yes, that’s me…. Wait, did you say mother? Your mother is Luna Meghan?”

He looked at me like i was an i***t. “Who else has told you to meet them here.”

Great, he’s a smart a*s. “How is this possible?”

He raised an eyebrow at me. “Do I really need to explain how a pup is made.?”

I blushed instantly. Man, he reminds me of Conner.

He smirked at me, clearly enjoying that he made me blush.

“No, you don’t. Do you have to be such a smart a*s?”

He started to chuckle. “You’re not scared of me?”

“No, should I be? Or are you intending to murder your fated mate?”

He continued to smile at me. “The moon goddess is a funny woman to have you mated to me.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“My mom didn’t tell you? Aren’t you supposed to be her little puppet or accomplice or whatever you want to call yourself?”

What a d**k. “I’m not her puppet. Luna and i have a deal.”

“Well, I wouldn’t trust her deals or really any words that come out of her mouth. She can never follow through on a promise. “

Wow, okay, this is coming from her own son. Maybe I should be worried.

He was still smiling at me. “You know her and my dad are trying to make me take Lily as my chosen mate, right?”

I couldn’t help the jealousy that was overcoming me.

“You don’t want that? Men just fall at her feet even before they knew she was a royal.”

“No, I don’t think like my mom and dad or agree with their choices. But something tells me that you do. Just maybe not as smart as them.”

I couldn’t believe he just said that. He just compared me to the rogue king, a dumber version. I didn’t say anything and just took off running back towards the pack house.

I felt my anger build up. Lily had every guy wrapped around her little finger.

It ends tonight. I’m killing the dumb b***h. She took Myles, and now my fated mate. I don’t care what Luna Meghan says. I’m doing this.

Andrew’s POV

I watched my fated mate run away from me. I always hoped I would find her, and now that I finally did. I end up mated to someone like my parents.

My mom told my dad that Lexi was doing all this to get Myles, Lily’s chosen mate. Which made all of this even worse.

Even though my mother wasn’t going to let Myles live for killing my brother. She thinks one of them must pay for his death. Honestly, he had it coming. He was a monster.

I never agreed to the stupid plan of there’s. I never had the desire to be king or take Lily against her will.

I knew the chances of my fated mate accepting me just because I was a rogue was slim, but I found it comical that Lexi seemed disgusted that we were fated mates. Even though she’s done far worse things than I ever have, and yes, I knew of all of them from my mother.

I walked away. Part of me wanted to take off and never look back, but the other part of me wanted to see how far my dad was willing to take this. If it came down to it, I would like to think I would stop him.

I, at the very least, needed to reject Lexi and make sure they didn’t harm Lily. She had to be very pregnant right now. How he expected me to raise and care for a pup that wasn’t even mine was absurd.

I looked over at the packhouse. I envied all these people at this pack, well, any pack. I wanted this. Most people trusted each other and were actually decent people.

How I came from my mother and father I will never understand. The funny thing is I’m considered the disappointment in the family, but really, I haven’t done anything that would be considered disappointing to most normal people.

I walked to a distant tree where I could go unnoticed but still see everything. I felt my dad try to link me. I just put a block up.

I was curious about my brother and his life. He had everything I ever wanted, and he still wanted more.

My mom said he was trying to change and was ignoring her. Yet I was still jealous. He got more time and attention than I ever did, and maybe that’s why I turned out the way that I did. I didn’t have to deal with her toxic a*s.

I turned my head to and noticed a head and only a head on a stick being advertised for everyone to see. I knew that was the work of my dad. He really is a sick bastard.

He sat back watching all his men die, just in hope that it would buy my mother some time to grab Lily.

I’m not sure what came over me, but I was angry and done. I took off running to the pack house. Maybe I could get them to listen to me.

I’m not sure if i could kill my own mother. I’ve never killed anyone. My dad only thinks I have. I spaired Lily’s moms life and my uncles. I just couldn’t do it. I don’t think my uncle Remi will ever tell anyone that I was the one that let him go.

I ran through the tree lines, passing all the fighting and dead bodies. No one noticed me, and if they did, they didn’t try to stop me.

I reached the pack house, and the door was open. There was no one around. I’m guessing the women and children were kept somewhere safe.

I heard a squel and walked in that direction. I went down a set of stairs that led to what I think was their ballroom.

I looked around the corner to see my mother have a girl I’ve never seen before by the throat with a knife. The girl was already starting to bleed.

I saw some male trying to talk my mother into letting the girl go. He held his hands up in surrender and kept inching forward. He clearly loved whoever this girl is. You could see it all over his face.

This girl wasn’t pregnant, so it couldn’t be Lily.

It was only the three of them in this big a*s room, and their voiced echoed.

I decided this was my moment to stop her and confront her that I was done and I wanted no part in any of this. I should of done this sooner. I just don’t think it would have stopped them.

Before I could take a step forward, a firey red head came flying down the banister landing on her feet. She pulled two knives from her thighs, pointing them at my mother.

My goodness, she looked like a sexy assassin. I swear, I think I may be in love. My heart rate increased.

I honeslty thought about making myself known now just so she could see me. If she hadn’t smelt me already or heard my unsteady heart rate.

If this is how i was going to die, I would be okay with it. I would die a very happy man.

The only thing the red head said was, “Two can play with silver.”

What the hell does that mean?
