Twenty-nine

~Aphrodite~

"So, you guys are second cousins?" I asked while I stared at her.

"Yeah. All three of us are hybrids and so our parents, well, one of ours." Bethany said.

"So, who's your parents?" I asked while I looked at Bethany. Because manly she's the one who've been talking than Cadmar and Zeke. They've been lighting grass on fire then putting it out with their hands.

"My dad is named Wilson, he's a earth hybrid, that's how I got the power with all the earth things. And his cousin is Angelia, their mom. She's fire, so that's how Cadmar and Zeke have power of fire. And Cadmar has little streaks of red in his purple eyes." She said while growing flowers next to her. I was still amazed about this.

I know that I said I didn't want to hang out with hybrids, but that's when I was still mad that I had to leave my pack. I didn't want anything to do with this pack endless it was I who was in control. So now since Im the Luna, I'm pretty amazed that there were hybrids in this pack.

Five. Five hybrids here...well that's all I know. "Wow."

"Yeah wow. But my dad is a little over cautious...like...he's cool and all, but he's too gullible. Like my mom would say he's too ugly for her, and he'll believe her, but she would laugh and she would tell him it's a joke. And with me, I can't really tell him what's wrong, or my mom. My dad, he'll be like, why you sad, what's wrong, like...he'll ask so many questions and that would make me not talk. And with my mom, she'll listen, but end up talking to her friends about it." The flower she was growing stopped blooming, and it's started to turn weak and the pedals started to die.

"Well, I can always be here for you."

She shook her head, "I'm okay, I have these two fools for that." We looked over to them and see them laying on their back while they played with fire in their hands. "Watch this." I saw the ground quickly push up, and slam hard against their back, where it bent them and they both groaned. The ground went down and they landed hard against the ground.

She busted out laughing while my mouth hung open. "Bethany!" They yelled while they rolled around groaning in pain. I saw Cadmar hand shot up and I saw the fire forming in his hand.

"Cadmar! Don't!" His head shot up and narrowed his eyes at me. "Aphrodite! She-"

"Okay! But you don't have to make fire and throw it without looking! I don't want to get hit with fire."

"Then you can move if it comes close to you-"

"No."

"FINE!" He said while he sat up and grumbled something under his breath.

"What was that?" I said cupping my ear.

"Nothing! My gawd." He rolls his eyes as he leans on his hands and stares off somewhere else with a glare on his face. I look over to Zeke and I see him just staring at the sky.

I shake my head, but I do the same. I lay down and watch the clouds slowly move across the blue sky. The soft breeze moving across my body tells me that fall is almost here.

My hand touches my stomach while I just feel the warmth of my body.

What am I going to do?

******

I slowly walked up stairs while I looked around seeing if Valdus was here. When I couldn't smell him or hear him, I continued up and walked to the left.

I walked towards the door and stood there just staring at the knob. My heart was racing and my hands trembled.

I took a deep breath in and knocked. It was quiet for awhile till I heard him say, "what." It was rough and hoarse. I released the breath and I was pushing limits but I needed to do this.

Not just for me, but for Valdus. So, I opened it.

He was sitting on his bed, at the edge while he stared at me when I walked in. His head tilted and that's when he stood up, flexing his muscles in awareness. I saw his jaw clench and his emotionless hazel eyes stared at me.

I closed the door behind me and took two steps in. "I-"

"Leave. My. Room." He said while breathing hard.

I shook my head, "I n-"

"What?!" He growled. He took a step towards me while pointing to the door. "Leave." He growled, while using his Alpha tone on me. But I knew how to make my voice like that too.

I still have a pack of my own. "I need to talk to you! Now listen." I growled while I used the same tone.

He growled while his eyes grew brighter. "Leave. Me. Alone-"

"No. You're going to listen to me. One way or another. Now sit." I bared my teeth at him. I lifted his lip while he growled at me, showing me his fangs.

But I wasn't afraid of him. Like I'm not afraid of Valdus. We're all three are Alphas. Why be afraid if we hold the same power?

His eyes flashed with something and his face fell slightly but he blocked that out while showing no emotion. He crossed his arms over his chest and was going to say something but I cut him off.

"Why do you hate me? Do I remind you about your mate? Before you found out Valdus and I are going to have a pup, you were kind. You were finally climbing out of the dark hole you dug after so many years. When you were showing him how to fûckin boil potatoes, you were kind to me. In the beginning I kinda understood, but you were kind, and even to Valdus. But after he told you what happen, you snapped. You jumped back in that hole and snapped back to the way in beginning. What happen to trying with Valdus!? What happened to that? I know that you miss your mate, but it doesn't give you a excuse to hate your child that you two made-"

"You don't understand! You don't understand what's going on in my mind!" He growled while his eyes grew brighter. "You can't explain what's going in your brain! You can't explain what's happening. Yo-you ju-just can't!"

"Why don't you just try?"

He stood there staring me down while his jaw clench. "You don't un-"

"I don't. But you can explain to me so I can understand."

He growled loud while his eyes were glowing, "LEAVE ME ALONE! LEAVE!" He pointed at the door while his snarled at me. I jumped back from his sudden outbreak and he walked towards me.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the door. I was pulling my arm away from him but his grip was so strong that my arm went numb.

He yanked open his door and pushed me out. "Talk to your mate! LEAVE ME ALONE!" He slammed the door in my face and shut me out.

But his words kept replaying in my head.

You can't explain what's going on in your brain. You can't explain what's happening.

You can't. But I'm going to keep trying Alcander. Because I'm sure your mate would want you to.
