Alpha And Luna
Chapter 54

Previously

I get out of the shower and slip on a pair of boxers before going to bed with my sweetheart, pressing her against my chest and inhaling her wonderful scent. I put my head on her neck and leave a trail of kisses. -I hope you wake up soon, otherwise I won't be able to resist for long," I breathed into her neck.

And I fell asleep with the scent of vanilla in my nostrils.

Present

POV Shawn

My princess has been 'transitioning' for a week now and I can see her getting worse and worse. Her family are supposed to move on in a few minutes, Anaève's parents accept and support me, but her brothers hate me. Anaève's family enter the house, Maeva and Kyle come to see me.

-Hello Shawn, how are you?

-I'm doing as well as I'm supposed to when her soul mate is in a coma.

Kyle approaches me and reveals his aura, he wants to try and provoke me, but I don't have the strength, so I submit.

-You care about my daughter, don't you?

-More than you know, otherwise I could very well have gone off with all the powers and become the most powerful man on Earth, but I didn't. I killed my own mother for her. I killed my own mother to save her, I killed her out of pure revenge, she'd hurt Ana, so I killed her for that.

Nick approaches me.

-You would have killed her even if it hadn't been for my sister, just for your own personal desire, because you're a monster.

I've got to control myself, he's after me, control yourself...

Too late, my wolf has taken control and I watch helplessly. Sulivan slams Nick against the wall and grabs him by the neck.

-Shawn isn't the monster, I'm the monster, I'm the monster, because he can't control me. I'm far too strong for anyone to be able to control me, firstly because my powers are so strong and secondly because I don't let myself be controlled. I'm the dominant one, whereas for you, it's the human who's dominant.

He lets go of Nick.

-But that's all going to change now.

"I'm sorry for everything I did to you Shawn, I should have left you in control, I was selfish, forgive me..."

"Of course I forgive you Sulivan, you're my wolf, I need you."

Sulivan lets me take control.

-Of course I've killed several people and I understand why you hate me, but I'll never kill anyone of my own free will again, unless it's someone who's hurt Anaève.

I sit down on one of my sofas.

I sit on one of my sofas.

-Anaeve is everything to me, I would give my life for her...

-Where's your dad now Shawn? Kyle asks me.

I laugh bitterly.

-I've no idea, when I took over the pack he disappeared without a trace. He didn't even stay to help me for the first month, so I had to fend for myself. My father had created a pack of bloodthirsty wolves and what happens when the new Alpha doesn't kill anyone? I take off my shirt and Anaève's mother lets out a scream.

-That's what it's like.

I put my shirt back on.

-Who did this to you, Shawn?

-My dad's old beta, every time I refused to kill someone he'd tie me up and put silver chains on my back and stomach. I tried to hold out as long as possible and after two years I killed him, I killed my father's old beta and that was my first murder. After killing him, I felt so good that I started killing for my own pleasure. I'd loved the feeling I'd had when I'd taken his last breath of life. I carried on, and when I'd had enough, the wolf had decided the same thing and I couldn't stop him.

I look up and see Maeva with tears in her eyes.

-I don't want pity, you're the only ones who know the real reason I became like this. My pack stopped killing on my orders, but I wasn't able to.

-But now it'll be different because she's with you, isn't she?

I nod.

-Only if she wakes up.

-She'll wake up, never doubt it.

Then the family leaves my house, and I go back upstairs to see my sweetheart, who has tears in her eyes. Wait... tears in her eyes... that means she's awake. I run to her and take her in my arms. -shawn...

-Ana...

-That was beautiful, why didn't you tell me?

-We talked for two minutes Ana and then my mum came in.

She's laughing.

-Do you think we could try to get an us?

-No, I don't think so.

I'm surprised by this answer and I get out of bed quickly, just when I thought we could try to be together.

I sit down on one of my sofas.

-Anaève means everything to me, I'd give my life for her...

-SO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

-NO. I SAID NO BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY AN US! she shouted even louder.

I stiffened and it was then that I realised she was crying.

-I'm sorry I shouted," I say.

-I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear.

She lifts her head and as she starts to fall to the floor, I catch her by the skin of her teeth.

-Ana! Ana! Ana! What's wrong?!

-Blood...I need blood...

Blood? What blood? Why blood?

-Go and get it, I'll explain later, but be quick.

I put her down on the bed and ran to my fridge to get a bag of blood, came back and gave it to her. She drinks it in a flash and her complexion goes back to normal.

-Can you explain? As far as I know, you're not a vampire.

-No, but because I have powerful powers, I have to drink blood once a week, otherwise my powers take on too much. Blood is like a painkiller for my powers. Can you explain why you have blood in your fridge? -There are vampires in my pack.

His complexion turns pale.

-What's going on with you? -Nothing, everything's fine. She smiles at me falsely.

-Stop lying!

She hiccups in surprise.

-I...um...

-Are you scared of vampires? I asked.

She nods and tears well up in her eyes.

-The one who attacked me the night you came to save me was a vampire and ever since then I've been afraid that all vampires are like that..., she says, lowering her head.

I sit down next to her and lift her head.

-Ana?

I wipe away her tears.

-I'm here now, no one can hurt you and anyone who tries will be found dead the next day.

She nods.

-Promise me you'll stop killing.

-I can't promise you that, but I can promise you that I won't kill for my pleasure, I'll kill for my duty to you and our pack.

She smiles.

-That's fine by me.

-I love you, Ana.

-I love you too, Shawn.

I throw myself on her lips, her beautiful lips that have been calling out to me for ages, I straddle her and kiss my way down her neck.
