Home sweet home

I was lying on the couch waiting for her to come out but to my surprise her sobbing stopped and her breathing was uniform. I didn't have to double check she was asleep. Maybe she was tired from all the crying. I grabbed her cell phone so it could be tapped but I took the risk anyway. I dialed my beta's number and he took my phone on the first ring that itself showed how worried they all could be. "Just listen, don't say anything right now. I'm fine but I was attacked last night. I narrowly escaped an attempt to kill me. There could be any informer amongst us. Make sure everyone is safe. Just text me whatever you want to say to me". I cut my call and waited for his message. I'm an alpha and an attack on me means an attack on the Northern tribe and we are the strongest tribe. A war could be waged for less.

I'm glad you're safe but things are very bad here. We saw your car. It was in bad shape. Everyone is thinking that you are either kidnapped or dead. Well everyone except Greta for her you are the Lord Zeus himself. They are thinking about war. Both Seb and Li are working on the strategy; they don't know which tribe is behind it so we are planning an attack on all of them starting with our neighbors. Come home soon if you can.

I knew my time with her was over just like that she is sleeping right now but it's nearly afternoon. I was planning to go tonight but I should go just now or be ready to carry on a war which may last a few years more or less. My people have just started to enjoy peace and calm just now I may ruin it. I quickly typed a short reply to him and it said  I'm coming. I slowly opened the door and she was still sleeping. I placed her phone near her. I was only turning away and suddenly she opened her eyes. Shit what was I thinking? She got up from the bed and rubbed her eyes. "What time is it"?, she asked. I just looked at her not giving her answer. I was worried about my pack hope my beta hold them up. She rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't give you permission to enter my room or kiss me", her voice very small. "You kissed me back ", I replied. "Get out", she said. I slowly walked out. I put on a good show but I was worried I looked out of the window. I missed my opportunity. I should have left as early as possible. I should have tied her up if she was going to rat me. The unwelcome thoughts started pouring down.

"You ok?  She asked. I shook my head and said, "I'm bored. How do you pass time in this hell hole? You don't have tv", I told her lightly. "Don't tell me you are a TV watching type. I know you enough by now.I have mobile and Netflix I will survive",  she replied. I wanted to laugh at her response but I didn't. The unwelcome thoughts of my people attacking neighbors innocent or not raided my mind. I quickly pushed it away. "Where's my phone? I swear it was in my bedroom." I gave it to her; I had earlier confiscated it from her. "Why do you touch other people's stuff without asking them first ", she said. "You are not  other people to me", I said truthfully. She ignored her. "I can't believe I kissed a guy who pulled a gun on me", she whispered. It was very low, not meant to be heard by me.

"I'm sure it's a beauty and beast type of situation", I said laughingly. She shook her head unbelievably which was proof of her humanity. "That was before when I thought you tried to kill me", I lied. The truth is that I haven't believed her yet. But if she knew that then I would be in danger again instead I have lulled her into believing me. She arched her eyebrows at me. Maybe I'm a danger to myself more than she is. Since I'm staying here longer. She sat near me holding up her old phone. Let us watch a movie if you want. I nodded my head and went to sit by her. I saw teen wolf in her search which was comical. "You want to watch teen Wolf?'' she asked, her eyes hopeful. "I thought we were here to escape reality because it was the worst show I had seen. You don't become a wolf by simply getting a bite. It's not rabies for hell's sake", I said. "How do you know this much about the show then?", she asked. "My mom is a fan", I confessed. After a little back and forth we settled on kissing booth on my insistence she relented. I was excited about the part about sitting close to her. She was watching the movie and I was watching her. I know she might have caught me a few times but didn't say anything.

Suddenly there was a notification on her phone which said, "it's time we are leaving ". "Who sent this? What's meant by this"? She asked. "Have you ever been to the forest ", I asked her. She shook her head in a negative way. " I think you will like it. We are leaving for it right now. "I will shout if you take me anywhere", she threatened me. "I have a gun, you want people to die?",  he asked. She shook her head. "I'm only taking you to get some information regarding your past life and dreams. Nothing to worry about. You will be here first thing in the morning. Iied through my teeth. "You are crazy, why do you want to kidnap me for seeing you in my dreams ", she said. "You will know why soon enough pack your bags", I said without a remorse.

She won't be back for a few days at least. I just wanted to make sure I reached there in one piece. There is another reason I'm taking her if anyone sees me leaving this building that could put her life in danger too. I know she will hate me for doing this but I didn't have any choice. I held her casually but the hand gun was still on me. I don't know how she is going to behave on our way out.  It didn't look like she had any lost love for her neighbors. To my surprise she was very calm. The building was full of sketchy dudes and I suspect a few of them were drug addicts. I'm not talking about weed here though I could smell it every way there were a couple of heavy stuff there too.

She was quite all the way to my home. I couldn't help but the rush of excitement coursing through me with the thought of her with me. Years have passed but some things never change. I'm not naive enough to think my pack will think the same but I hope they won't show open hostility to her. When I was about to reach our forest entrance she broke the silence. "I hope you don't mistake my silence for anything. I'm only here to make sure I'm not crazy but now I think maybe I'm for going into the forest with you", she said. "Listen, it is a matter of days and consider it a vacation. Learn about yourself. I could lie but not a whole bunch of people you are about to meet ", I said. I prayed for her sake they tone down their anger towards her.

When I reached our place I was glad to be on time at least. I was greeted warmly by everyone but soon after it changed into cold hatred which wasn't for me it was for her my mate. "Where were you? Where did you get her?", his voice couldn't mask hostility and revulsion. I calmly answered him," I was attacked and she saved my life. I was on a long drive and I needed some rest. I want you to take her to the guest bedroom and help her get settled ", I walked away without waiting for any replies. I'm sure they will obey my orders regardless of their opinions.

Once I reached my room I began removing my dress but soon I heard someone at the door. It was none other than my beta. A few seconds later you may as well be leading the great war that might go for another 100 years. You never mentioned the girl to me. I assume she is  going back. No one is going to accept her as their Luna ", he finished. "I don't want your relationship advice Tony. She is here because she saved me and don't worry she doesn't remember anything from her past life. So she is not expecting a proposal from me", I told him. "Nonetheless she is going to get one I presume. Besides I hope for all our sake she doesn't remember anything", he said . "Tony, get out! Tell everyone I want a meeting at 5", I said distractedly.

I knew I had to do some explaining or there would be some trouble. I also wanted to get information on the informer who was from the pack. I couldn't doubt their loyalty. But I couldn't help it. I had been betrayed too much. I didn't know how to believe anyone anymore. It could be a coincidence also but being ambushed like that was a plan. Meeting her days before that all pointed to a single direction. I have to get in depth of this.

I was greeted by everyone warmly, everyone wanting to broach the subject but none was brave enough. Tony was my beta and best friend. He had no guards. He treated me more like a brother than Alpha. For the rest of them I was their king. "Thanks for being here. I know you might want to know the details. I was attacked by a number of sharpshooter humans. I almost got killed from a silver bullet but I managed to escape to a building where my mate worked. I saw her a few days ago. She saved me and helped me get better. She doesn't remember her past lives at all. She will be here for a few days until it's safe for her to go back. I know some people might be wondering whether she will stay here as Luna. The answer is no. I think it's better not to let history repeat itself." I finished. I hadn't made such a long speech like this before. I was more of an action than words sort of guy.  I waited for their questions and I could see their relief in their eyes. I hope I'm strong enough to honor my words. Suddenly we were interrupted and a messenger stood at our door. We have an important message for the Alpha: both Annabeth and Angel wanted to see you. Here we go, I thought. "Tell them I'm their Alpha so don't order me around. I will see them when I think the time is right ", I said.

"I want the rest of the guys to leave except Liam, Sebastian and Tony ", I said to our small group. They all nodded their heads and immediately left. Liam was first to talk, "So you don't know who attacked you. Are you sure there were no wolves involved. I could send my team to investigate ", he said. "No use Liam they were mercenaries even if we track them down. We couldn't get more information. Besides I doubt there could be an informer amongst us. I don't know this for sure but from a few conversations I heard in the background of shouting I could understand there was someone helping them from our side. "Are you sure?", Liam asked. "Maybe it could be her after all you were attacked after meeting her. "If it was then she could have easily finished her job. I was weak and at her mercy. " I countered him. "Her past deeds are enough to prove her guilt", Sebastian spoke. "I'm not defending her. If she is guilty she will be punished. I can't punish her for something she did in her last lifetime which she may or may not remember ", I finished.
