My Two Alphas

Chapter 31

Ace POV

I was parked out the front of Avery and Aamon’s house, it was a cottage style house. She had

three houses but this was the main one she lived in with Aamon. From the moment I found out Lucy

had been on these pills since she was 12 it had been eating at me, now standing out the front of the

witch hybrid’s house I couldn’t bring myself to go knock on her door and ask her.

I didn’t want to be to blame for her depression yet Atticus even grew silent within me, he

wholeheartedly believed we were at fault for it too, it was too much of a coincidence that we found out

she was our mate when she was 12 and she went on these pills at the same age.

“Do you plan to sit outside and admire the house, or are you casing the joint?” Aamon says misting

beside me and sitting in the passenger seat. I jumped the moment I heard his voice, burnt almonds

filling my nostrils.

“You know you could have just tapped on my window”

“Hey you are the one out here moping like the little lost pup you are, Avery has made tea, she has

been expecting you” Aamon says before disappearing again. I sigh, tossing my door open before

shutting it. The front porch light flickers on and the gardens come into view, Avery had a green thumb

being a witch I suppose she would but her gardens looked more like a exotic forest as I walked the

stone bath to the porch. The door was open already and I walked inside, I could smell burning incense Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

and salt lay across the entryway.

“Don’t break the salt line” She calls out from the kitchen. I step over it carefully walking down the

long hallway to the back of the house and passing the dining room and living room.

“Conjured up some bad voodoo the other day, just a precaution till dad gets here to summon it

back to hell for me” She says, as I step into her huge kitchen.

“Cookie?” She asks, setting them out on the stove.

It was so weird seeing her baking. She looked like just a normal woman, a housewife. Yet I knew she

had the power to end the world if she wanted to. I sit at the island bench on a stool next to Aamon. He

suddenly mists before returning with a hot cookie in his hands, Avery smacking him with her tongs.

“You impatient devil spawn” She snaps at him and he smiles at her biting into the cookie. She

raises an eyebrow at him, her eyes sparkling back at him before she turns to me.

“You are here about Lucy's pills and about the teacher” She says, grabbing some cups and making

tea, she puts some cookies on a plate before setting them down in front of Aamon and I. He instantly

grabs one.

“Share Aamon” She warns and I smirk at the demon being scolded by her, he was putty in her

hands. It was clear who wore the pants in their relationship. Yet it was known he was her antidote for

her craziness, he had a calming effect on her.

My father told me when he first met Avery, she was crazed with power, absorbing everything and

everything she could touch until her father the prince of hell and a gate keeper Asemodeous told her

she punished Aamon enough and brought him back to try to subdue her, it worked and without him.

My father was introduced to her when he was kid, his father came to see her about the hybrids that

were hunting people down, then he died and my father took over the pack. He got back in touch with

her through my grandfather Abel when he went looking for a cure to help Lily control her wolf and he

took Ryker with him and they have been bestfriends for years now.

“Go on, ask your questions Ace, I have known your family too long, don't be shy” Avery says

placing the Tea down in front of me. I pick it up and sip it. I hated tea, I was more a coffee drinker but

she made good tea and I always felt buzzed leaving her place when I came here making me wonder

what she put in it.

“Is Lucy on the pills because of me?”

“Not just because of you, she was raised in captivity Ace the blame isn’t all yours, but did you have

a big impact? yes, yes you did”

“How though, she has no wolf?” I ask, resting my head on my hand.

“You forget she was forced to shift, her wolf died or so I thought yet she still technically shifted, the

bond would have kicked in when yours did Ace, she was just to young to realise it, to understand it”

“So she could feel it, every time I was with Melana?”

“She couldn’t feel it like we do, but yes she had some sense of it, it caused her pain. She thought it

was to do with the experiments from the facility, her bloodlust, I wasn’t going to be the one to tell her it

was because her mate was fooling around”

“But that is why I wanted to speak to you, I was glad when I sensed you coming” Avery says.

“Why?”

“Because I noticed something when I saw Lucy the other week, that other issue has been dealt

with by the way, my father has taken great pleasure torturing him. But back on topic I don’t think Lucy’s

wolf is dead. I think she is trapped, dormant”

“You think her wolf is dormant, why would you think that? SHe should have shifted by now if that

was the case” I tell her.

“I thought her wolf was dead, there have never been any signs over the years, well until I saw her

with both of you, her aura shifted reacted to you both, vampire auras are usually black, her has always

been black, until I came to see her, her aura shifted, changed reacting to you both, like her aura

drawing on you both, when I removed her mark it turned back to black but I could see it flickering like

something was trying to break through, the colour her aura changed to I have only seen in hybrid’s and

werewolves”

“I don’t get it, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying you and Tyson are bringing something to the surface and I think it is her wolf, I don’t

think she died, I think she is comatose inside her” Avery tells me.
