Reject Me Again, My Alpha
Chapter 80

” Sianna, I need them back. Let’s just go after her now. We have your magic. I can feel the strength of it running through my veins. We can kill her ourselves “, I said to her while I paced through the room. I could feel Enzo’s eyes tracking me and I was doing my best to block my thoughts from him. He wouldn’t agree with this. ” And for good reason he wouldn’t. Anthea. What have I been saying this whole time? I have always run into things alone , not relying on others. For me to stay, I have to prove that I no longer need this magic. Not all of it anyway. To go to her now and deal with her ourselves, that will prove the balance keepers right. We need to give the magic back and deal with her with what’s left and with our mate and family and friends. Anthea , I don’t want to have to leave again” she said sadly.

I g*****d inwardly. ” If we give it back now, she will kill them “, I told her. ” She won’t know , Anthea, I think you see us as giving it back, as we will be weak again. We are the true alpha, our magic will still be strong. Even without the magic from the moon goddess, we would still have a power worth wanting. She will still want it. Call upon the moongoddess before its too late ” she pleaded.

I felt someone’s hand touch my arm. Looking up, it was Enzo. ” I want a word “, he said calmly, down at me . I looked around the room , to see everyone had stopped talking and was looking our way. When had that happened ? I had been too lost in my own thoughts, I had been thinking of how I didn’t want to go back to feeling weak. How wrong Sianna had been to choose me. She said she had because she felt I was the one to keep her on that straight and narrow. But the truth was, how could I be ? After a lifetime of being nothing , now that I was something. I didn’t want to go back.

But she was right. I wouldn’t be nothing. I guess the whole alpha thing and the way I looked and felt now hadn’t quite sunk in, people hadn’t really mentioned it yet. Most likely because of all the s**t Yianna was causing. Or maybe for the fact we still hadn’t actually talked about anything, too busy coming up with quick rescue plans. Or the alpha filled most in while we were on the island getting Enzo back? Who knows ?

I looked up at my mate and nodded , he guided us outside to the deck. As soon as we got there, he held me by the chin so I had to look at him. ” What ever it is you are thinking, stop it, ” his eyes narrowed. I was about to lie and say I wasn’t thinking about anything but how to get my parents back. But his eyebrows raised as if to say , don’t you dare lie to me. I rolled my eyes at him and stood my ground. I kept quiet. “Let me guess , you were about to go all vigilante , but Sianna was talking you down ” he smiled smuggly at me. How ? I had blocked my thoughts from him. ” Oh you had , but Sianna tattled to Hunter ” he let go of my chin and shrugged.

I huffed , I should have known. ” You think I am the only one that would stop you ? Your wrong ? You still don’t see all the people that actually care for you ” he said, walking to the steps and looking out. Then he looked back over his shoulder at me. ” Do you ? “he dared me to lie. But he was wrong. ” Oh , I know. Have you ever thought about that it is how much I care for them ? That I do not want anyone hurt “, I challenged back.

” I’m sure I have heard that had been said by someone before, right before she sacrificed herself and left her mate and family behind , all be it not real mate, but still. She didn’t know that. Is that what you want, Anthea ? To leave me ? ” he asked. It broke my heart he would even think that , but I knew what he was doing. And I got it. I had gotten too lost in my own head , seeing her do what she did to Rion. Now she has my parents , I just didn’t want her touching anyone else. ” You know that is not what I want . But what about you? I heard what she was saying to you when we first landed on that island. After she had read your thoughts. I hadn’t gone straight to the pool. We were making sure you were alive and there. I heard the thoughts she dragged from your mind. Does it really bother you about who I am now ? ” I hadn’t really wanted to bring it up , they were thoughts he had obviously been hiding from me.

But once you hear that or something like that , it was better to get it out there , instead of letting it sit and fester. Enzo turned back ” I can’t lie and say I haven’t had those thoughts. You’re pretty much my Alpha now. We kept being told about all of this magic and power you would have. Men are simple beings, Anthea. We want to be needed and we want to protect those we love , our one true loves , our children. That is all we want. How can I do that for you , when you are who you are ? “he said, sounding a little unsure. I love Enzo didn’t hide his true emotions from me.

” You will still do all those things no matter who or what I am. I need you more than I need anyone. And protect me , you’ll always do that too. If not in combat or a physical fight. Then you’ll protect me from myself. I may have been chosen , but this is my home. This is your pack where you are the Alpha. I do not plan on any of that changing. Not to protect your ego , but Sianna chose me for more reasons. We are the same , we just want a quiet life and to have it with someone we love. I just have some added responsibilities now ” he watched me for some time before he nodded. ” I don’t feel threatened by who you are , just threatened by feeling left out , useless , left behind. I won’t be like Rion. I told you once , I’ll tell you again and again. You will never run off into a fight alone Anthea. If you do, you may as well rip my heart out now and reject me ” he smiled ” My alpha “, he bent his neck to the side, showing his respect for me. And my position. I have got it now. Between us we had to work out the new dynamic of our mating. It keeps changing so often it is hard to do so. I wasn’t scared. Eventually we would.

” They are words you’ll never hear me speak again ” I whispered. He lifts his head back straight , walks to me and slams his lips on mine. We were deep into making out , when a loud throat clearing distracted us. His dad stood there , being over extravagant to not look at us. ” We have all agreed that Anthea should break the spell of those in the cells before she hands back the magic he looks at me. ” Thats if it is OK with you, Alpha ” he winks at me. I was taken back until Enzo started laughing. ” Damm nosey a*s wolves, he mutters.

“Don’t I’m Anthea and will always be Anthea ” I laughed, catching on with the joke. But it broke the tension. ” When did you tell them that was what I wanted to do ? ” I asked Enzo. He pulled away from me and grabbed my hand. “When you were too spaced out , thinking of running after her by yourself “, I pouted my lips at the obvious jibe. We went back inside and everyone had gone to sit around the table. “OK, let’s finally have this meeting, shall we ? “Enzo said as we walked in. We caught everyone up on me being the chosen alpha. My brothers’ impressed, smug faces only annoyed Enzo a little more when they started joking around with him about me most likely being able to beat his a*s now.

Then we moved on. ” I think we need to gather the pack and let them know. It is all happening in their home. They deserve to know what we face ” I announced, and Enzo’s dad nodded at me proudly along with his mum. ” Tell me again why we are helping those warlocks in the cells though ? “Devon asked. So I am guessing it wasn’t a unanimous vote. ” They’ll stay locked up , but Yianna has betrayed them. They may wish to return the favor and help us out on where or what she may do next. Plus, they’ll be human, they can’t do anything ” Enzo explained. ” Anthea needs to give most of the magic back to the moongoddess , who knows if, after the magic is gone, what’s left among the girls here, can track her down , or destroy her. They may be of use, ” he adds.

” We also need to decide what we are doing with my beta , and his family that are in the cells too. ” his dad says lowly, showing it’s still a sore subject. The Luna placed her hand over his on the table, showing him comfort. He grabs hold of her hand, brings it to his lips and smiles gratefully at her. ” We also need a plan to secure the pack land , so she can not just keep showing up here “, Shira added. ” I have a few family members left , they will come if I ask and help with protection ” Rykan offers. Willow offered to help Shira and to speak with Firya once we helped her. She was hoping to connect with her after spending so long with her while she occupied her body.

I looked around the table and I felt Sianna’s happiness. This was what she had been talking about , this was what she hadn’t done before. Depending on people , the fact we were all discussing this and our next moves together made her proud. ” This here ” she whispered through my mind. ” I know , I am sorry for my earlier slip “, I told her back. ” After we have done what we need to do in the cells , I need to call upon the moon goddess before we do anything else. The longer I keep it , the more the risk it is for Yianna to somehow get it ” Shira smiled happily at me. It was something I never wanted , something I had never needed. What I had always craved was in front of me. Now I thought about it, I was happy I was about to be rid of it. Which was conflicting because I was so worried about my dad. I guess my mum too. We didn’t get along, but I wouldn’t want her dead. Plus Timothy , he was strong though. I knew he would keep strong,

” Any word on Rion ? ” I asked Enzo through our link , while the others discussed the other things we needed to do. ” Violet is there , it isn’t looking good. Devon should be with his mate. If her brother dies and she has to do this alone. He will regret it. The doctors say the next few hours are critical. He isn’t healing , they think she has done something to stop him from doing so. Why was it Rion there , acting as Devon ? “Enzo asked me and I felt sadness was over me. ” He was adamant , he wanted to make it upto us “, I told Enzo and he nodded. Now he could not make it. I looked at Devon , I saw how torn he was just from his expression , he was trying to listen and contribute , here was here in flesh. But his mind was no doubt on his mate.
