Alpha Alexa
Chapter 11

Julian's POV

I can't believe she got me to go into the store with her to buy tampons. That is something that I have never delt with and to be honest I don't ever want to have too again. I know that they will have a period like a human and then every six months or so they will also have a heat like a wolf. I do feel bad for them to have to deal with both. We finally made it back to the pack house and I showed her to her room and let her be. She had a big day tomorrow. I know that when she rejects her old pack, she will feel the bond break and it will hurt. I just want her to be rested and ready for it. I will be with her every step of the way and so will Luca. We are also taking some warriors with us.

I went back to my office and did some work before dinner. I had gotten all of the girls organized for Alexa and put them into categories according to age and ability. She could organize them however she wanted after that. I was finally done with everything and headed down to the dining hall to get some food. I was starving as I skipped lunch and breakfast got interrupted by two arguing idiots.

I fixed my plate and when I looked over to our table, I found that those same two idiots that were arguing this morning were now laughing with each other. I was afraid that it might be awkward between them but apparently it isn't. I walked over to the table and sat down. "What's so funny you two?"

"You buying tampons!' Laughed out Luca.

"Why is that funny?"

"Just your reaction about it." Alexa said laughing still.

"I am sorry I didn't grow up with sister unlike you Luca who is used to that."

"Sorry, new subject. Jade would like to know if we could go for a run tonight?"

"Yes, we most certainly can. Zion could use it." Julian said.

"Hawk is getting all excited, count us in."

We all finished eating in silence and once we were done, we headed outside. I am not sure what the silence is about but it's making it a little awkward. Finally, we got to where we shifted and the three of us stripped down and quickly shifted. When I saw Alexa's wolf, Zion was enamored with her. He was literally drooling over her. She was as large as I was and the same size, but she was completely white with a black half-moon on her side. Her eyes stuck out because they looked even bluer in her wolf form than in her human form.

Her wolf was just as playful as her human as she came over nipping at both mine and Luca's heels and then took off running. We played chase for a long time. I don't know how long we ran around but we all managed to wear ourselves out. We slowly made it back to our clothes and shifted back and got dressed.

"Alexa, I have a folder for you in my office."

"OK, I will come and get it."

We all walked back to the pack house, and we all went back to my office and sat down. We reviewed the plan for the morning and how we would get Alexa close enough and get out of there. I handed Alexa a folder telling her "Alexa, here is the folder with everyone that I want in your classes, along with age and ability. You can choose to do it however you want."

"Thank you, Julian. I will get started on it tomorrow when where back."

"Great, I would like you to have your classes up and running by next week. I also want you to work with Luca about getting going on patrol."

"Will do."

"Ok, now you guys go get some sleep and I will see at three."

They both left my office, and I wasn't far behind them. I went up to my room and fell into my bed and was out in about three seconds. It felt like I had just fallen asleep when my alarm started going off. I rolled out of bed and jumped in the shower and quickly got dressed afterwards. I was dressed in black jeans and a black T-shirt and black boots. I went downstairs and found that most of the people were down there waiting to leave. I had about forty people going just to be safe. I don't want to be caught blindsided by an attack. I didn't think that they would. We were going to catch them off guard and get the hell out of there.

I walked over to Alexa and asked her "are you ready for today?"

"Yes, I am ready to get this over with and move on with my life."

I pulled her into a hug and held her for just a minute. I let go and held her hand. We would be taking a separate car with just her and I along with Luca and a driver. I wanted her to have privacy after she rejected them.

"OK, everyone let's go. I don't anticipate any issues and I thank you all for coming this morning. You all know what we are doing today. The kitchen was kind enough to pack us some breakfast that will be waiting for you in each vehicle. I still had Alexa's hand and led her to our car. She and I got in the back seat and Luca and our driver Jacob in the front.

"Why don't you try to sleep we have a long drive." I told her.

She reached down and pulled a blanket out of her bag. She laid her head down in my lap and closed her eyes as we pulled out of the driveway. I started running my hands through her hair without even thinking about what I was doing. "Don't stop that it feels nice." She mumbled.

I laughed at her and continued to stroke her head.

"What are you doing back there?" Luca mind linked me.

"I started running my hands through her hair and I guess she likes it."

"What is going on with you and her?"

"I don't know, but Xion is falling for her. When she shifted last night, he was enamored with her instantly."

"She isn't a second chance mate, is she?"

"No, she isn't but I would take her as a chosen mate."

"Wow, you're in deep, aren't you?"

"I am afraid so. I don't know why either; we haven't known her for long. I am just drawn to her. I think it's because we have been through the same thing."

I cut the link with him and got myself comfy and closed my eyes. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep either. I woke up to Alexa talking in her sleep and stirring in my lap.

"No, dad don't do this. He is my mate."

I tried to wake her gently. I am guessing that she is having a nightmare about that night her dad ruined her life.

"Dad he is my fated mate, please don't make me do this."

She now had tears streaming down her face. I shook her shoulders a little more forcibly when she jumped and opened her eyes.

"Alexa, you were having a bad dream."

She crawled up in my lap and put her head on my shoulder and started to cry again. I just held her and let her cry. I rubbed my hands up and down her back, trying to give her some form of comfort. "I am sorry, this happens when I have to see my dad or if I think about my mate."

"It's ok, you can cry all you want." I told her.

She stayed in my lap crying for a while until I could feel her breathing even out and I am guessing she is back asleep. Luca was asleep up front as well.

"Jacob, how much further do we have?" I mind linked the driver.

"About an hour sir."

I let Alexa sleep for another thirty minutes before I woke her. She should eat something before she does this. It will help her keep her strength up after she is done.

"Alexa, wake up. You should eat something."

She crawled off my lap and stretched out. I handed her a box of breakfast that the kitchen staff had packed for us. She opened it and scrunched up her nose at it and then handed it back to me. "Sorry, I can't eat right now."

"You should at least try something; it will help you keep your strength."

"Unless you want me to throw it up on you, I wouldn't push it."

I put her food back in the back and woke up Luca. He was never much of a morning person. We drove the rest of the way in silence. Jacob pulled into the spot we had told him to, and we got out of the car. It was now nine am and we had to walk into the woods just a little so that she was close enough. The three of us took off walking into the woods. I had sent a group of warriors ahead of us to make sure that they didn't have anyone guarding the area. They had told us it was all clear, so we went ahead with it.

I let her go as far as she wanted. She finally came to a stop about ten minutes into the walk. She looked around and said "this is it. This is the spot."

I just nodded at her and stepped back a little bit. I wanted to make sure that she had the space to do what she needed to do before she officially rejected them. She looked around and I could see her shoulders start to shake. She had started crying. This was an emotional process. She was giving up her old family. I knew they weren't much, but I knew she still loved them. She finally lifted her head and started to talk.

"I Alexa Silver, reject my pack the Silver Moon Pack. I cut all ties and do not pledge any loyalty to you anymore."

As soon as she spoke that last word, she fell to her knees clutching her chest. Both Luca and I ran over to her. She had tears coming down her face and she was trying to take a deep breath but was having difficulties with it. I reached down and picked her up. She continued to cry into my shoulder. I walked her back to the car and we got in and drove off. I know that her pack has now felt the rejection and I am sure they have all felt it by now. We were ahead of everyone else, and they would soon be behind us. "How are you doing Alexa?"

"I will be ok, she said between sobs."

"I know it hurts but I promise as soon as we swear you into my pack it will go away."

She just shook her head at me and tried to climb off my lap, but I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. She snuggled down on my and finally calmed down a little and her crying stopped but I could tell that she was still hurting.

We had made it about halfway home when my phone went off in my pocket. I was just going to ignore it when she got off my lap and told me to answer it. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that it was Colter. I would not be answering that call right now. I ignored it and sent him a text. "Hey man, sorry bad timing. We will chat later."

I shoved my phone back in my pocket and pulled Alexa back to me. I ran my hands through her hair, and she finally fell back asleep.

"Hey man how is she doing back there?" asked Luca.

"She finally fell asleep. I know that it is hard to do this and painful, but she did great today."

"Ya, I can't imagine going through that."

He cut the link and we were silent the rest of the way home. It had been a long day as it was only three thirty in the afternoon. Jacob pulled into the drive and shut the car off. I was going to take Alexa up to her room but when I tried to get her out of the car she woke up.

"I can handle this myself." She said getting up and grabbing her bag.

"Whenever you're ready I will officially make you a part of my pack." I told her.

"Can you give me just a little bit. I need to do something first."

"Of course, just let me know when you're ready."

"Luca, meet me in my office. I want to go over a few things with you." I mind linked him.

I headed to my office and waited for him. I opened my email to see if her father had sent anything else out and I didn't have anything from him, which was good. Luca knocked on my door and came in. "Hey man what's up?" he asked.

"Hey, I wanted to show you a report of who I gave to Alexa for training. I am going to have her take over the training for the women. I think they will respond from her."

"I think most of them, but you know she will have trouble with Christina and her little minions."

"I agree but I know she can handle it."

"I am hoping this will free up some of your time. I know you have always done double duty with no Gamma."

"Thanks man, I really do appreciate it. Now I can spend some time focusing on the ladies."

Seriously this man. He is a man whore, but I can't say a lot I am not innocent.

"I also need you to teach her guard duty."

"OK, I will get started on that tomorrow. She can shadow me for a while before she takes on her own shift."

"Thanks man, your free to go. Take the rest of the day off."

He got up and left my office. I was hoping that Alexa would come down soon. I was ready to make her part of my pack. She would feel much better once she did. Her heart would always have an ache until she did.
