Chapter 6

As we followed drew into the forest I could see a difference in the way he was acting it was like he had a skip in his step.

The fact that he no longer had to worry for the safety of his mate and pup it bought me another level of respect knowing what he had to go through.

The other thing that kept creeping up in my mind was the fact that I was an alpha I mean how had I no realised this before would I have not felt the pride and anger problems that come with being an alpha.

Would it not have showed earlier on?

It is not your fault, you did not realise that your old pack was drugging us with wolfs bane to keep our power from showing. Did you not wonder why they always fed us well yet beat us every other chance they got.

How dare those creeps do that to me, what have I ever done to them that could make them hate me so much was it the simple fact that I was an alpha.

No Leila it is something more I do not know what but I always thought that your old pack was hiding something from us but I do not know what it is.

I sighed it does not matter anymore that’s the past best not to dwell on what has been rather what’s to come.

Spoken like a true alpha

I smiled I could trust Lea my wolf to cheer me up it is what she has been doing for the past 15 years. With that though I had suddenly realised that my birthday had already been and gone.

It didn’t really matter anyway just counting down the years till I’m an adult. I had never celebrated my birthday it was just like any other day to me.

I felt a tug on my jeans I looked down to see the concerned faces of Evan and Elise I looked up noticing drew talking to a beautiful exotic looking girl who looked to be in her late twenties.

You could tell they had been living in the forest due to the green patches on her clothing and her bump looking pronounced in what I presumed to be one of Drew’s shirts.

I had not realised that I had drifted off for that long lost in my own thoughts I looked down at the kids giving them a reassuring smile. I walked towards Drew and his mate.

“Hi my name is Leila and those two little ones are Evan and Elise, it’s nice to meet you” I smiled towards Gesibelle.

She looked slightly taken aback and I saw her hand reach protectively to her stomach as if scared of what I might do to them.

“Drew told me that we trespassed on you territory alpha we didn’t mean to well just be going know” Gesibelle stepped back holding Drew’s arm protectively.

“No you don’t have to go” I said confused what did she think I was going to do I was still just a 15 year old kid yet it seemed like I scared the hell out of her.

You may be 15 but we are wise for our age for we have experienced more than many do in a lifetime. Yeah but that still doesn’t explain why she looks so scared of me.

She is scared because of the power we radiate since we have a pack know our alpha sense has unlocked.

This means we will radiate a threatening aura to our enemies to show that our pack is protected and that we are not weak.

I had been lost in thought talking to my wolf that I did not hear Gesibelle trying to talk to me.

“ Hey alpha finally I got your attention, I don’t know what game your playing so I suggest you back of I will not let you hurt my mate or pup” she growled at me I knew she was still scared of me I could smell her fear coming of her in waves.

Though the fact that this she wolf was willing to talk to me an alpha in such a way to protect her mate and pup made me like this she wolf she had a whole load of spunk.

You are right Leila she is a strong one to stand up for those she loves.

I smiled at least my wolf and I agreed.

“I don’t want to harm your mate or your pup I simply came here to ask you if you would like to join my pack” as I said this I studied her reaction.

By the shock clearly portrayed on her face I knew it was the last thing that she had expected me to say.

“Why do you want us to join your pack?” I could tell from her voice that she was suspicious and did not trust me but I could see the speck of hope in her eyes.

“Your mate told me your story I thought you might like to stay with me and the kids then once your pup is born it won’t be lonely and you’ll have a place to stay” I said it a calm tone.

“Why would you help us it’s not like you know what were going through anyways” I would have been angry if I could not see the tears glistening in her eyes.

“I know more than you think” she looked at me in with a confused expression so I begun to explain the abuse I had faced and the death of the kids pack and parents.

By the end of our stories the tears were no longer being held back as they poured down Gesibelle’s face.

All of a sudden I was gripped in a fierce hug with Gesibelle sobbing on my shoulder. As I got over the shock I started patting her back telling her it was going to be ok. That she didn’t have to worry anymore.

I felt another pair of hands and realised that both Evan and Elise had come to hug Gesibelle to make her feel better.

“You don’t have to worry anymore nice lady sissy will take care of you like she took care of us” Elise whispered to Gesibelle.

“Thank you” Gesibelle whispered back.

After a few moments Gesibelle was able to control her tears I moved her of my shoulder so I could look her in the eyes.

“You don’t have to worry anymore Gesibelle you don’t have to go through this alone you have Drew, me and the kids were family know and we look out for each other”.

“Thank you, alpha”

“Please Gesibelle don’t call me that I would prefer it if you would call me Leila” she smiled through her wet tears and hugged me again.

“I think you’re a great alpha Leila I can just feel that life is going to get better know my wolf feels it to”. Gesibelle said moving into a concerned Drew’s arms.

I stepped away towards the kids as I saw Drew whispering in Gesibelle’s ear comforting her.

“Ok so do you guys want me to take you guys to our home” I said nodding my head in the direction of our mansion.

Gesibelle smiled a heart stopping smile and whispered the word home.

“Yes sweetie we finally have a home “Drew said pulling her towards us as we walked towards our home.

I could just feel the happiness in their voices and expressions what they did not realise is that they were helping me too.

For so long my heart had little in it know it was full to burst these people were helping me heal from all the hurt.

They do not realise how much our family means to me.
