Filed to story: Divorce Tears From The Alpha (Ella & Holden)
The glare she shot at him only irritated him further. Couldn’t she just come willingly and give him a bloody chance. Holden didn’t think he was a mean, or even bad person for that matter, he’d taken over his pack to make it safer and better for those that lived within it.
She was basing her opinion of him on that one insult, yes he acknowledged he’d said it more than once, but he had apologised, not in the way he wanted to, but who’s fault was that. He had actually voiced it and meant it though.
Why couldn’t she give him the benefit of the doubt. She was just standing there and he knew she wasn’t going to get into the damned car, so he stepped forward to take her hand and help her. Was really annoyed the second she side stepped him, fast she was, he’d seen Luna Lindy move that fast, apparently small she-wolves meant super fast on their feet, not to mention so tiny in stature that ducking under and away from him was easy.
‘Get her’ he told Rip, he knew Rip wanted his Mate, that he would not hurt her, but would be more than happy to catch her, he lent Holden his wolf speed and they shot forward to grab her. Only to have her hit him with that damned Compound Bow case of hers, the corner of it hit him right in the lowest rib, and the force of it when it connected to him he felt the rib c***k and pain seared through his chest. A full blown snarl escaped him, more from pain than anything else, but Rip surfaced completely to peer at his Mate, to try and understand her reaction.
She dropped the case onto the ground the minute his wolf appeared, snarled right back at him, had taken Rips sudden appearance as a threat. She was spoiling for a fight and they both knew it. The minute her claws came out of her finger tips, Rip receded away ‘I won’t hurt our mate,’
‘Rip I can’t take Ky’ra on my own get your a*s back here.’ Holden demanded of his reluctant wolf. Normally happy to fight anything but so it seemed, not his Mate. Damned wolf.
He was on his own now. He was much bigger than she was and even without Rip he was strong and capable, could take down a rogue if needed to without his wolf. But he had seen how fierce Ky’ra was, in wolf form and he didn’t think anything less would come from her in human form, and those claws of hers, were actually quite long and looked to be razor sharp. Longer than his he realised, unnaturally long.
The dart to her neck surprised him as much as it surprised her. The fact that it didn’t take her down, shocked him even more. Made her movements slower and a little sluggish, but she shot off to have a piece of Alpha Corey for the insult to her. Clearly taking on an Alpha wolf not a problem for his Mate, this would be the second time he’d seen it for himself now.
She’d been more than okay with having a go at him to. Fearless it seemed, or just really didn’t like Alpha wolves. He didn’t know which at this point.
The second dart hit her right in the chest and down she went, Rip shot them forward to catch her before she could actually hit the ground heard her say “wolfs-bane” before looking right up at him and then she was unconscious in his arms.
“Wolfs-bane?” he frowned at Alpha Corey.
“The first was a standard tranquilliser, but it didn’t work. So yes wolfs-bane, not enough to harm her son. A small dose actually just to help the tranquilliser take full effect is all.”
“Was it really necessary?” he shook his head, he didn’t think so.
‘”You saw her, yes it was. Now from what my pack doctor reckons. If I had to use both she’ll likely be out for 10 to 12 hours.”
Holden sighed and frowned down at his unconscious Mate, plucked out the dart from her chest and tossed it on the ground. Scooped her up and stood. She weighed next to nothing, so darn tiny was she.
He walked over to his car, the back door already standing open, had been open for her to get in since ten to five. He watched as Luna Lindy and Gabby placed her luggage, into the open tail gate of his Hummer and Adam picked up her Bow Case, and slid it in then slammed the tailgate shut.
He stepped into the back with Ella on his lap, he’d intended on sitting up front with Jeremy, letting her be in the back by herself, giving her space, to show her he was going to respect their agreement. But this changed everything.
Now that she had been darted with wolfs-bane, he wanted to stay close to her and monitor her. To make sure she was actually alright and there were no ill side-effects from the wolfs-bane, he knew that some wolves handled it well and others did not. Depending on the dose, he had no idea of the dose used, Alpha Corey had simply said a small dose.
“Son” Luna Lindy said as he was about to pull the door shut “I expect you to uphold the alliance, all aspects.”
“I intent to honour it Mother. I will not harm her, and my wolf won’t stand for it, either.”
“Good, see you for the Luna Ceremony then.” and she closed the door for him.
“Lets go Jeremy.” Holden sighed.
He sat with her in his lap, shifted and adjusted her until she was tucked neatly into his chest. He looked down at her, so relaxed in her unconscious state. He brushed a few loose tendrils from her face and made himself comfortable. This was the first time he had been able to actual hold his Mate, he liked it. The wolfs-bane bothered him and Rip, but her breathing was regular and even and her heart was beating was strong and steady.
He couldn’t help but smile down at her and breath in her scent, it was lovely he realised, and for once she wasn’t trying to fight him or being resistant to their bond, couldn’t right this minute. He like holding her, really liked it. He’d never liked something this much in all his life.
Rip was actually resting inside his mind purring gently, something Holden had never heard him do before. Clearly happy with his Mate being so close, even though Ky’ra herself was pushed so far away by the wolfs-bane, he was just happy to have them close by.
Holden leaned down and smelled her hair, kissed the top of her head and just watched her sleep for a long time. He knew he was never letting he go. Rip snorted at him, as if to say about time you realise that.
“you right back there boss, awfully smiley.” Holden could hear the amusement in Jeremy’s tone.
For once it didn’t bother him “I’m good.” he said absently, his arms were around his tiny Mate and he was completely comfortably with her being on his lap.
“You’re going to turn into one of those, Alphas always with their Luna on their lap now…you know, the ones that annoy you the most.” he chuckled.
Holden chuckled too “Probably. I didn’t know a bond, could be like this.”
“You see your pack wolves, all the time Holden.”
“Never experienced it myself though…it’s nice…I guess Denny was right.”
“Whose Denny ?”
“Patrolling wolf I helped out the other night. Loves his Mate, nothing but respect for her as far as I could tell. 24, 3 pups already and 1 on the way.” he laughed softly.
