Alpha Blake

Chapter 8 Truth Be Said

Selene

"H-how did you?...... Blake, I can explain." I said, my hand gesturing to the sword. The sunlight

gleamed over the symbols, blinding him for a mere second as he grasped my sword.

Somehow, my sword reacted to him. That sword had been specially made for me, it's power

radiated profusely at the touch of my grip. Somehow, when he grasped and got ahold of it. It just

somehow radiated the same, if not more.

I narrowed my eyebrows, tilted my head to the side. My mouth gawked openly. By the look on his

face, the way he tightly grasped my sword, I knew he felt the power and energy radiating from it.

I took in a big gulp of air before I asked. "Blake.... how did you?..... This is new." I stuttered while I

made my way to him, stopping just a few steps away. He raised my sword over his eyes to see the

symbols. He cocked an eyebrow.

"Devil's trap, banishing sigil, the mark of Cain...hmm?" he said, making my eyes wide in shock.

'How in the hell does he know all this?'

He continued to name the symbols on my sword. "The sigil of the wolf, power, protection sigil, just

what exactly is my wife doing with this powerful little piece of fine silver and white oak ash.... and, do I

detect,.... the smell of Angel's blood? This is something quite intriguing my love.... do tell... please?"

I was in complete shock. My mouth was opened, yet somehow... I could not utter a word. He ran

his finger through the blade, making a small dent cut on his index finger, the blood from his finger

lingered on the blade... but he seemed unbothered.

"Blake... how did you know the names of all the symbols? Better yet, how could you detect what

my blade was made off?" I asked, sincerely curious and astonished about how fucking smart he was.

He sat at the side of the bed, a side smirk made its way on his face. His eyes were dark and

mysterious.

"Tst, tst, tst.... my dear beautiful wife, you underestimate me!.... do you not recall? We are

descendants of the primordial wolves. It is, my duty as your alpha, to be well informed, and be able to

protect you and the pack."

My gaze fell, I knew we were descendants of the primordial wolves... the very first wolves in all of

existence, known to be the fiercest, most aggressive, powerful, and ruthless wolves EVER known. The

upside of all?

Our blood was lethal to a normal vampire, we were immune to their mind control and immune to

their bites.

Although they still hurt like hell, one bite from a vampire to our body, meant a slow and torturous

death to a normal vampire. Our blood was mere poison to their weak mindless body.

"So now, I'm waiting Selene.... come, sit by me. I promise I won't hurt you." He said, padding the

side of the bed next to him.

I slowly made my way, my arms crossed over my chest. I puffed my cheeks, making a loose strand

of hair fly meaningless over my face as it fell back in place once my breath diminished.

I sat there, dumbfounded and shocked. He placed the sword next to us both, in a vertical position

away from us. Held his hand for me as I took it. His other hand, slowly grasping my loose strand and

tucked it on the back of my ear.

"Selene, I know parts and pieces of your departure five years ago. But in able for me to

understand what is going on, and for me to be able to ensure you are clear of any danger, I need to

hear it from you." He calmly said as his gaze softened. His hand softly caressing my cheek, as I

involuntarily moved towards it. Embracing the feel of his touch.

"Blake, I'm sorry I kept it from you all along. I had no choice but to do so."

"By whom?" He asked.

"Your father, your mother, my parents as well," I said, trying to stay composed.

His jaw clenched, I could hear the gritting of his teeth. He closed his eyes profusely, his hand

becoming a tight fist by the side of my cheek. I was scared for the first time in my five years of training

and battling.

The power radiating from his body and his intense aura was surprisingly greater than anything I'd

ever seen.

"Selene, when did.... my ...parents, and your parents decided this? And why?"

He asked as he tried to contain his wolf from merging. Hazel could sense him.

His wolf was extraordinary and powerful like no other wolf we had ever seen or encountered.

I took a long sigh, and closed my eyes for a second, " The night of your ceremony. Well,

technically, the afternoon before your ceremony. They said it was part of a treaty, to keep the pack

safe." I said to him, his eyes became wide with confusion... I could sense the turmoil in his being.

"What do you mean treaty? What kind of treaty love?" He asked... but it seemed that the more I

explained, the angrier he became.

"Blake, I will tell you everything you want to know....but you have to promise me that you will stay

calm..... Please darling?"

I had to take a chance at calming him down before I continued to explain. I turned my body

towards him, getting closer to him so that we faced each other better. I took his hands in mine,

interlacing our fingers as he slowly became more serene. His aura diminished a bit and went from a

dark blue to a light yellow and white.

I then began to explain to him everything.

From the agreement of the treaty, to why Jazzy and I left as part of the treaty. To the reason for the

treaty....., keeping the pack safe, and the government stayed out so long as we kept our part of the

deal. To working with Colonel Coelhelm.

He was overwhelmed by every word. But he kept at it, asking me what we had to do, and all that I Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

had to go through. His eyes were barely kept open, he held them shut, and from time to time, he'd

open them.... just to let a treacherous tear roll down his handsome face. I could sense the anger and

frustration in his being.

He moved his hands around my waist, pulling me close to him. He placed his head on top of my

mark... I could feel the tingle of sparks as he softly grazed his lips on my skin. I closed my eyes, as he

grazed my skin softly. A small involuntary moan escaping me.

He tightens his grip and kissed my mark. "Baby, I'm sorry you had to endure so much..... if I'd

known sooner... I'd trade places with you in less than a heartbeat. " he whispered in my ear.

The gesture made my head tilt back... his touch went all the way from my head to the tip of my

toes. It was one of those sweet seductive touches that makes your toes curl and feel all kinds of

heaven through your body.

I inhaled his scent....his intoxicating aroma of old spice, reminded me of a warm fire pit in the

coldest of nights, and warm evergreens.

"Blake, there was nothing neither one of us could do at the time," I whispered. His eyebrows

furrowed, his eyes became dark and his grip around me got tighter than I'd like to have.

I placed my hands on his chest as a gasp escaped me. "What the fuck do you mean there was

nothing neither one of us could do? We found each other that same night Selene. I was the damn

alpha before you left the morning afterward. I could have intervened... I could have protected you, and

everyone else in my pack." He spat, angrily looking at me, inverting his gaze between my orbs.

"Blake....." I whispered.

"WHAT?" he yelled,

"Blake, you're hurting me," I whispered, as his grip became excruciatingly painful, I could barely

breathe.

He slowly unwinds his grip. His arms went from my waist to my upper back as he held me. Tight,

but bearable.

He shut his eyes. Sighted heavily.

"Sorry. I just...... sorry sweetheart. I don't know what came over me." He said as his gaze turned

away from me, and he shut his eyes tightly.

I slowly caressed his cheek, he leaned towards it, grasping my hand, cupping it gently with his

hand before he squeezed it, and kissed me lightly on the inside of my palm.

"I love you, Selene... I don't think I can stand life if something bad happened to you." He

whispered.

For the first time, he sounded so sincere.... it made my heart melt as I finally allowed myself to

believe he truly loved me.

"I love you too Blake. I always will." I said as he continued to kiss my hand.

"I always haved.... I've always..... loved you.... and only you Selene. " He said, as I became

shocked with his declaration.

"What do you mean? Always haved?" I said with a smile on my face.

"Sweetheart, as the next heir to the alpha position in our pack..... my wolf has known since we

were seven. But my stubbornness kept brushing it off. Shutting Alexander my wolf every time he

pointed you out. He and my instincts always said it was you, but my stubbornness always kept away,

refusing it to happen until the day of my eighteenth.... when I was sure your mating bond calling was

awakened. I couldn't resist claiming you anymore.

Even though, I couldn't see you in the dark the night we first mated... I somehow knew it was you

all along." He said, as my mouth became gawked opened, so surprised by his sudden revelation. My

heart was moved, and I felt my stomach fluttered. I was becoming incredibly attached to him.
