Chapter 46

MILES

I suddenly wake up but in pain. I try to figure out where I am; I try to get all my senses in check.

I sit up and lean against the tree. I look around and realize I’m in the forest.

“Miles, you ok human” says Max, I can sense he is looking through my eyes.

“Where did Mila go?” he asks straight away and on high alert.

I suddenly realized I came here to get to know about Mila.

All of a sudden, everything hits me full force.

“SHIT, MILA WHERE ARE YOU?” I stand up and look around. I don’t know where she gone, her scent has gone.

“MAX, can you smell her scent?” I ask as I keep looking around the whole place, turning in a full circle.

“NO” he says still sniffing the air “She has vanished.”

I can feel my heart break again; I lost her my only family member.

“What’s wrong Miles? Max? I can sense your emotions” says Libelle in my head.

“Mila has vanished, she flung her wrist at me and I went straight into a tree, Libelle she was angry that you were listening in on our conversation. She never mentioned the last bit to anyone not even her wolf” I said “Also I know she has blocked her wolf too.”

She sighs “Make your way down, Drack is worried. He can’t help or get through to her either.”

I turn on my heal and run back the way I came with Mila, as I come closer to the pack house I can see Anna and Archer running towards me.

“We need to find her, she’s in danger if she is on her own” says Archer sounding worried.

I nod but I hear the fierce growl and I know who it is, HER MATE.

Nathaniel comes running over to us with Emily, Dane and George on his heels.

“Where is Mila? Why did you come back alone?” he shouts at me.

I look at him and I can’t help the anger that flows through me, everything that Mila said comes back in an instant.

I know Libelle is telling Anna, Archer and Drack as they are glaring at him.

“You fucked a woman in front of my sister’s house” I bellowed “Where was your morals as an Alpha, she watched you and that woman.”

Nate looks taken back and I can feel the guilt running of him but not just him, his precious followers too.

“Mila was angry and needed to talk, she told me everything. All the lies and the secrets that were kept from her, and you, her mate, the manwhore I think that’s what she called you, are stupid. You be lucky if she will take you back.”

I walk towards him with my fist clenched “I bet you don’t know she constantly relives through that whole moment every time.”

I look at Emily “You knew of this morning, Sapphire must have told you what she could see as our wolves know our most hidden and darkest of thoughts” she looks down at the ground “What did you and Sapphire talk about when her wolf blocked her?” I couldn’t help but scream at her.

She looks back at me stunned “What do you mean?”

“She knows what you talking about” says Max growling in my head.

I try to side step Mila’s mate but he doesn’t move, he holds my arm “Leave her alone, she has nothing to do with any of this.”

I have had enough, I clench my hand into a fist and punched him square in the jaw, he stumbles a bit but I punch again. I have had enough.

“STOP PLEASE, I WILL TELL YOU” shouts Emily, which not only makes me and everyone else looks back but Mila’s mate too. “We should go into the office as it’s safer for you all to hear this and Nate, you best make sure Alpha Leon and Luna Sophie are present.”

We all turn to walk in, except Archer, Anna and myself.

I look back at them “Do you know what this is about?” I ask.

Archer looks at me, he looks sad and worried like a father would when they lose a child, I remember that look on my dad face many times when I was out with my friends.

“No Miles, we don’t but I am concerned about what we are going to hear” Anna says while taking mine and Archers hands in hers to lead us into the office.

When we get into the office, we are the last ones to arrive. Everyone takes a seat or they are standing but Emily and George are right up center for us to see, they both know something.

Suddenly “Look, Sapphire wanted to protect Mila as much as possible. She was scared about something and she was worry for both of them” Emily says.

“Sapphire told me some worrying things that your Moon Goddess told her while visiting her in a dream” we all gasp. Why would the Moon Goddess speak to Sapphire not Mila? that doesn’t make sense.

“What do you mean by that? Why did the Moon Goddess visit Sapphire not Mila?” says Nathaniel, he must have been thinking the same think as I was.

Emily sighs “She told Sapphire to tell Mila, but she didn’t because she had no memories of the whole event that took place at the cabin where she got her half dragon heart” she looks at Archer and continues “You see, with having half of your dragon heart, she will be more powerful. She could look more like a witch than a wolf.”

Then it hit me, up on the cliff what Mila did “She gained some magic as she threw me into a tree and then masked her scent” I said and shuddered at the thought.

Emily looks surprised “She didn’t tell me that she had powers.”

“I think since all that has happened with all the secrets that everyone has hidden from her and all the torment too, she wanted to keep it a secret herself” I said getting a bit pissed off.

She looks at me hurt.

“I think you should carry on” said Archer with a hint venom in his voice, I think he starting to realize how much secrets have been kept from Mila.

Emily looks at her dad and he nods in approval for her to continue.

“Sapphire was supposed to tell her but she didn’t. There is a curse that can fall on Mila. The curse is still unclear as my father and I have been looking for some information on it. Sapphire only knows some bits of it but not much only that Mila could lead onto a dark path and become something darker.”

I looked back at her stunned “What do you mean? She could be lead into darkness, what does that mean?” I ask. I can sense Nate getting anxious with the whole thing.

“Myself and my daughter have told you what we know, I have looked through the books of every library I can think off” says George.

There was a growl.

We all looked at Emily, but it was her mate that had growled, he looked pissed off and his face was blank. I look towards Nate but they seem to be in a mind link together. Nate looks pissed.

We weren’t getting any answers, everyone was getting angry and confused until a voice spoke “You lie son, you need to talk, if you don’t I will” says an old woman from the doorway who seems to know more.

“Mother, keep out of this, it’s nothing to do with.....” with a flick of her hand he shuts up. He couldn’t open his mouth. Emily went to talk and the woman did the same to her. “No my dear, these people are here to help Mila, her mate, her brother and her guardian. It doesn’t just rely on just us anymore, we need to tell them and don’t you think that Mila has been through enough. She killed her kind for us, to protect us, even protected you two on many cautions.”

The woman turned her attention to us “You see these two dears that are my son and granddaughter. Emily I know love her and she would do anything for Mila" she says with a soft smile at Emily but when she turns to look at George, she glares at him "But George, you see my son wanted to use Mila for his own gain, he used her by wiping her memory and giving her potions that would make her comply with every commans he wanted such as killing wolves whether they came in town or not, She never knew any different and neither did Sapphire” she says "Thats what happened at the start."

You can hear a few growls erupt though the room but the elder holds her hand up, I look up at Emily, she is staring angry at her father.

Her mate holds her not tight around the waist with one handbut I think she just realized what her grandmother just said.

“How could you?” roars Nate.

I’m angry and I can feel my guardians anger through my bond with them.

“Let the woman talk” hisses Archer, he is seething and looking at George. I remember Anna telling me that these two were really good friends when they met.

“The curse in which they speak is, not of darkness of Mila” she says and Emily looks more confused. I think she went to the wrong relative. With the flick of the elder’s hand, Emily takes a deep breath “What do you mean? Dad said....” she turns her attention to her father and her eyes go purple. Dane wraps his both arms completely around her and whispers in her ear. She calms and her eyes go back to normal. They both move over to the other side by Nate who is completely staring George down.

The fear coming off George is strong “Carry on.....” I say to the elder. She nods “My name is Gloria, my boy and I am so glad that Mila has finally found you” she says with a smile and turns to look at everyone else who is now getting impatient.

“There is a curse but it has not been for told. Sapphire was supposed to tell Mila. I don’t know of it as it was the Moon Goddess who wishes to tell her creation. Sapphire shouldn’t have told Emily” she shifts her focus on her son, the sudden hatred that cames off her made my heart ache, I look towards Archer, Nate, Anna and everyone else, they too could feel it.

“My son you are one evil monster, Dallas killed our people and you stood up to protect everyone. You made a safe haven for all the super naturals but what you put Mila and Sapphire through, the torture, I know your methods, you didn’t succeed did you, Sapphire was powerful, too powerful for you” she says through gritted teeth “Alpha Leon, you might want to make sure that Sybil is held in a cell and take him down to her.”

Alpha Leon looks at her and he mind links to someone, suddenly the door is opened and two guards come into the room, they take George away.

What the hell is going on?
