Chapter 24

MILA

As we come to the clearing, I look over my shoulder and notice that Nate was talking to another woman. She was holding onto Sam’s hand.

“Mila, please talk to me” asks Dane but two other figures have joined us, I realize that its George and Sybil. They are holding Emily but George is looking at me with tears in his eyes. “He can feel our pain” Sapphire says quietly.

I look at the ground “Nathaniel is my mate” I say quietly.

Both George and Sybil gasp.

“What do you mean? You are human, you shouldn’t be able to know that” Dane says looking confused. I can see the looks of fear, confusion and heartache on my family members face. They don’t say anything.

“Emily can sense things especially when it comes to me, we are connected, all four us, George, Gloria Emily and I, Emily could feel a connection between me and Nathaniel. I wanted to tell him but he was busy with that red head.” I know I am only telling him half the truth “I also seen them having sex outside the cafe” I say quietly.

Dane looks angry “Mila you should have told me, Nate is crazy about you. He wants you as a mate.”

“Well if he wanted me as a mate, he shouldn’t been having sex with that slut, I felt everything when they are intimate. Emily had to stay with me most of the time as I have been in pain due to it” I say so angry and pissed. No way is someone turning this on me.

“Is that true” he asks Emily, he is clearing pissed but also worried.

Emily turns to him and nods “Every time they were intimate, she was in crippling pain. That’s why I haven’t stayed over long. That’s why you had to take me home a few times” she says with tears in her eyes looking back at me.

“Dane, I was going to tell him but I was hurting but I was planning on telling him before we came to the pack house but this war broke out” I said.

“Mila, why didn’t you tell us?” Asks Sybil in a worried voice but before I could say another “I knew, when he came into town. Emily told me. I thought you would be happy but Emily didn’t say anything about another girl.” Snarls George.

I’m shocked. George knew. I look at Emily who has a blank expression on her face.

Both Dane and George looked pissed. Sapphire is standing up “They want to protect us, Mila” she says sounding amazed.

Next thing I know both of them are running towards Nathaniel. Dane punches him straight in the face. The punch didn’t do anything “What the hell was that for?” Shouts Nathaniel but then another punch comes.

Sybil and Emily are now running towards the men, I can see Eric trying to break up the fight. I know no one has said anything but the tension is boiling over.

“We need to stop this” I say to Sapphire and she is in agreement with me.

I start to run as a crowd has now formed around the four.

“Dude you can’t hit your Alpha” shouts Eric.

“HE DESERVES IT” Dane shouts.

“DANE STOP PLEASE” shouts Emily.

“What’s wrong with you?” He snarls at him “You been telling me that you think Mila is your mate and you keep fucking that slut”

Oh crap!

“You knew I was....” but before Nathaniel could finish there is another fist flying toward him.

He fall back and lands on his ass.

“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HITTING MY SON” Shouts a man, who now is standing to the side of Nathaniel as he gets up.

I look at him, he looks like an alpha.

Both the Alpha and a woman are now standing by the side of Nate, Alyssa is standing at the sidelines wondering what the hell is going on. Sam is also looking on but doesn’t move.

We have a big audience now with pack members and towns people all looking on.

“HE DESERVED IT” Dane shouts. But George has his fist ready to swing at Nate.

“DAD STOP PLEASE” I can hear Emily says to George but everyone starts to argue.

I have had enough of this “ENOUGH” I scream so loud, all the people stop shouting and turn to look at me. I stare back at everyone who is looking at me.

My power is flowing through my veins, Sapphire is pissed is standing tall and ready to fight anyone who gets in our way.

With my fists clenched tight, Sapphire is giving off an aura to show that we mean business.

Everyone is stunned into silence...this the first time we let anyone know that we have power.

I was about to say something until I hear a gasp “Faith is that you”

I look directly at the woman and she is completely in shock, staring at me. She looks like she has seen a ghost.

“Faith is that you” she says again looking straight at me, while taking a few steps towards me. I step back. The Alpha is looking pale too and in complete shock. What the hell is going on? Nathanial is staring between me and the woman.

“No, I’m not Faith, my name is Mila” I say calmly.

“My Goddess, you look like Faith” she says taking more steps towards me but I keep moving back till my back hit someones. I walked into Eric who puts his arms on my arms.

“Let her go” George says who is now walking towards us.

“How do you know Faith?” He asks the woman.

“What is it to do with you?” she asks.

She turns and looks at him, “How do you know her? Who is she?” Pointing to me as she looks at him

“I can’t say I made a promise” he said.

I look over to him “I have had enough of this; whats going on?” I scream.

I need answers now.

“Who is Faith? George I want to know” I say turning to him.

He looks at me with no emotion in his eyes “I can’t Mila, I promised”

The Alpha comes over and holds onto the woman, I am now guessing she is his mate.

“You need to tell us what’s going on, Faith was a true friend of Luna Sophie’s, well to both of us. We want to know what happened to her.” He says giving a warning voice.

George stays quiet and still looking at me with the emotionless face.

“Damn you warlock, tell me.” He growls “I had to go through the whole pack remains to find her. Her family and pack are dead. I want to know where she is” Luna Sophie screams.

But before he can say anything, Alpha Leon waves his two fingers to some guards who standing behind and they come. They grab hold of George.

George hisses as the two guards put chains on his wrists, “Until you tell us what happened to Faith and who she is, you are staying in a cell” roars the Alpha. “Also take his wife too”

George and Sybil were lead away to the cell with four guards.

I am completely numb; I don’t know what to think. I look over to Emily who looks heartbroken. Dane holds Emily back but she is glaring at the alpha and luna.

I turn to look for Nathaniel and see him.

Nathaniel is now standing to the side talking to the red headed slut. She smacks his face hard and runs away. Ouch, that must have hurt.

I look away from him but I can feel his eyes on me and I know he is coming this way.

Emily comes to me and hugs me. I can feel her tears land on my top. I look to see Alpha Leon and Luna Sophie looking back at me. “Dane, keep your mate with you or she will be in the next cell with her parents” Alpha Leon says.

Dane nods and takes Emily away “No, she’s my sister. I need to be with my sister” she screams as he takes her backwards.

They both look at me.

“Who are you?” Says Luna Sophie softly, trying to not let the tears flow from behind her eyes.

“I'm Mila but before you ask I don’t know who this Faith person is” I say. I can tell Nathaniel is by the side of me. I ignore him.

“I have no idea what George or Sybil are hiding before you ask” I look at the ground “They took me in when I was five. I can’t remember anything before that”

I look back at them, “Witches are evil, they must have done something” snarls the Alpha.

“They never hurt me, they helped me. They are the only family I have. Emily and I are connected by her magic. She can tell you more” I say trying to figure out what to do next.

Sapphire has been watching the whole thing go down and lets a snarl slip through.

“Something is off, Mila. Who is this Faith? We have heard her name before but George always give us some potion and we always forget” says Sapphire “Also we need to keep mate away from us”

Alpha Leon stares at me “Why don’t you rest?” He says as he points towards the pack house. “Nate why don’t you show Mila to a room so she can have rest.”

Alpha Leon and Luna Sophie take each other’s hand and walk away, leaving me with Nate.

I turn and walk back to the pack house in silence with Nate by the side of me. As we enter the pack house, it is huge and spacious. There is an open plan walk through with loads of doors going alongside the walls. There have to been over a thousand rooms in this place or more as there are at least three floors. I can see all the women and children who were kept in here for safety, all now leaving the house. Nathaniel takes me to a room which is down a little corridor. “You can rest in here, no one will bother you and you can have access to the kitchen and the main hall” he says smoothly. I nod and open the door to the room.

I step in and look around; this room is bigger than my apartment. There is a king size bed against the wall, a couch under the window, two doors. I open one door to find the biggest bathroom I have ever seen and the other one was a big closet. Before I say anything....

“Mila, can we talk please?” he asks, I hold my breath and look at him, he is leaning on the doorframe.

“I need my rest” I say really quickly.

He looks at me; he seems sad, hurt and confused. He takes a step closer to me but I take a step back which makes him stop. He looks hurt.

“You are right, you need to rest. I will be in the office which is about 4 doors down on your left for a while” he says and turns on his heel, leaving me looking at the empty space he just left.

I run towards the door and lock it. I don’t want him to come back in. I can sense he is still near. “Mate, what’s to apologies” says Sapphire sounding really sad.

I can’t think straight I need to rest, I have a headache. I walk over to the bed.

********************************

GEORGE

The guards put us in the cells.

I can’t tell them anything not until midnight.

As we are placed in the cell, Dane is standing by the guard.

I know Emily is with him.

“I will make sure they are secure, just stand outside” says Dane. All the guards leave us.

Emily steps from behind the wall. She doesn’t look happy.

I knew I had to make her remember, without saying a word I place my hand in my pocket grabbed the little packet and open it, “What is it?” says Dane but I don’t answer the wolf, I place some of the dust in my hand and it into Emily's eyes. She shuts them and is doubled over in pain, all the memories comes at once. I took them from her to protect her and Mila. Emily needs to tell these damn stupid wolves everything.
