The Wolf In Me Chapter 8 Spared

Part 1 Looking at the impossible



"Goddess Leto has spared my life," he said shortly looking at me with a smile.



"You never came back home," I said looking at him with wide eyes still not believing my own eyes.



"I was always there, so close to you as I watched you grow. I didn't want to get in your way. If people
knew I was alive, you would not have become the alpha at such a young age. The pack needed to
have an alpha with an open mind like yours, son."



I didn't know how I should feel after listening to what he said. I rushed into his arms and held him tightly
scenting his body to make sure he is real and sobbed with all the emotions.



"I can't believe you are here. I can't wait until my mother sees you. She has not been the same since
you were gone," I cried out.



He looked at me with sad eyes.





"Your mother can never see me again son. I am dead to her and it needs to be kept that way."



He stopped to see my reaction, then he realised that I was waiting for him to continue.



He took in a deep breath and exhaled.



"The moon Goddess asked me to promise her that I should never meet her. Your mother has done so
much to break the pack."



I growled remembering how angry I was at my mother.



"We can never see her again. The Goddess made sure your mum will forget all about us." I stared at
him in shock.



"She is my mother. She is still my blood," I said angrily now that I realised that not seeing her was not
my choice anymore.



"And a human that can never understand our paths," he continued.





"I haven't seen her since I brought back the pack. I didn't even say goodbye."



I was getting in a form of panic. Dad held his hand on my shoulder as I sat down on a large rock with
my hands on my head. I breathed heavily trying to calm myself down.



"I cannot abandon her. She is growing old," I said. "I was never meant to stop seeing her. Even though
she did a lot of grave mistakes, she is my blood," I said worriedly.



Dad looked at me like he wanted to say something, but couldn't so he closed his mouth shut and
exhaled.





"She is gone, Luka. I asked someone to take her to town and help her find a good old people's home
for her to stay in," he said shortly avoiding my eyes.



I raised my eyebrows feeling confused but felt like I had to obey what our Goddess ordered.







"Well, if that is what our Goddess wants, then I will do what I am asked and abide by her orders. May
my mother find everything her heart desires and live a healthy and better life."



I lifted myself finding some courage. I looked at dad as he smiled lightly and nodded in agreement. I
still trust him. He was the one that helped me become the great wolf I am today.



"You are destined to be stronger then any other alpha the world has ever seen. You will be the one to
bring everyone together and make the strongest pack there ever was. That is your destiny son.
Goddess Leto is expecting that of you. She wants you to destroy the vampires for they have done too
much damage to our kind and also to humans."



I looked at dad and nodded.



"Dad, I need to show you to our pack. They all know I am the alpha now. I will give you your own space
but I need you more than ever. My mate is fighting for her life right now and I need to know who
poisoned her."



We both rushed in wolf form and everyone looked at us in surprise. Normally no one goes in wolf form
into any packhouse but we didn't care. We both shifted in front of everyone, exposing our strong naked



bodies. I could hear gasping and women closed the eyes of the young children.



"My beloved pack," I announced. "Your past alpha and my father has returned. Our Goddess spared
his life and brought him back to us. Praise Leto, our Goddess and queen."



Everyone stared at my dad in amazement. They all thought he was dead.



"Impossible," some said in a choir.



"Leto has brought him back to me, to us. This is how powerful she truly is. Yes, she does the
impossible and he is proof."





As people were gathered around us one elder wolf howled and started to cheer and pray to Leto. I
recognised him from my childhood. He was my father's beta. How could I have missed remembering
him before?! As I looked at my father he was overjoyed to see him. He lifted his arms as I could see his
emotional teary eyes looking at his former beta. He formed a smile and waited for him to stand up and
reach in for a pal hug.





"It has been such a long time. You are alive," the elder men said. He lifted his hands on my dad's
shoulders.



"Reynold," my dad said with his deep voice. "You have been missed my Beta"



"She has sent word with him that I will be the one guiding you through so to have our pack strong as
ever for what is yet to come," I said now knowing I should get into what I needed to say.



Everyone stared in amazement. I hear a few claps, then more wolves joined in.



"I have more to say," I said raising my hand to have everyone's attention. "Your Luna has been
poisoned. She is fighting for her life right now and I need to find out who has done this!"



Everyone looked at my angry face as my eyes shifted exposing my red alpha eyes. I moved on every
person in the pack sniffing them all to get their scent.



"I will make sure no one would mess with my future wife again. I will never let my guard down.
Whoever did this WILL get caught!"





I observed everyone's faces hoping to find the culprit but everyone looked innocent.



"Steph," I ordered her to move forward.



She rushed out from between the crowd and stood in front of me with teary eyes. I knew they were
good friends and she was worried about her too.



"I need you to give me the names of the wolves that work in the kitchen with you. Also, I need to know
every time Mei was in the kitchen and ate or drank. Will you do that for me?" I asked looking straight
into her eyes.





She bowed down and nodded.



"Yes alpha. I will do that. She is my best friend and I want to know who did this to her. I will search for
any evidence in the kitchen. I will not allow anyone in until my search is complete."



She looked straight at me to show me she means it.





"I appreciate that Steph. Like she said. No one is to enter the kitchen. If anyone goes there you will be
taken to the dungeons and lock you up," I said harshly.



After the speech was finished Both dad and myself rushed upstairs to find some clothing before
heading next to Mei.



"She is beautiful, son."



My dad said as he reached out to feel her hair. He smiled at me. "I send my blessings to you both. She
will make it through, alright?"



He looked straight into my eyes and reached out for my shoulder. I looked down at her and turned my
grey eyes back at him.



"Thanks, father," I replied nodding. "I will stay with her tonight. You can rest in my bed until Laura
prepares the bed for you. I already sent a messenger to let her know."





I looked back at Mei as I sat down beside her and exhaled.



"Come back to me my beauty queen," I told her as I watched her breathe slowly and calmly.



My dad smiled and watched us silently.



"That is what I used to call my first wife you know. Beauty queen. She was beautiful, elegant, dark grey
eyes with a hint of silver in them. She used to send shivers down my spine."



I looked at him confused to why he mentioned her. He never spoke about her before and always
avoided talking about the subject.



"Why are you telling me this dad?" I asked now having the feeling like there was a reason to why he
mentioned her.



"Son..." he said looking down on the floor. "You need to know something. I never told you this because
I was not allowed to. I just don't know how to say it now after all these years of keeping this a secret."





He looked up at me trying to find the right words.



"Angel was her name. As you know she was my beloved mate. We were together for five years before
she passed away. The truth is son, she was killed by a vampire clan whilst she was gathering up some
berries in the front garden late at night. She couldn't make herself go to sleep. I was reading a book on
the bed with just my lamp on when I hear her screaming my name. That is when I rushed outside to
find her pale self lying on the ground with two fang marks on her neck. All she could blurt out was the
word Vampires before she took her last few breaths."



I looked at him with sad eyes.



"I am so sorry to hear what you went through. I know how it could feel to be parted from your mate.
Since I have found mine all I can think of is her. I can't imagine living my life without her."



I told him holding one of his arms.



"Son, this woman has given birth to you. She was your mother."







He looked straight into my eyes. I opened my eyes wide but had no words to say. Why am I having this
kind of day where I have all these emotions coming my way? "I could not hold this secret any longer,"
My father continued.
