11 - Chapter Eleven - Siryn's Point Of View.
My father Deigo came in the SUV and got me at six am sharp. We
didn't talk as he drove home. It was only as he parked the SUV that he
spoke.
"You froze again. I saw it."
"Now you see why I gave up the beta position to go to school.â
"Siryn you do fine as long as it's not anyone you care about on the
other side but as soon as you have an emotional attachment to both
sides you're just blank.â
"I just... It's like I can't move. Everything shuts down and I
lose it."
"We need to fix this. Now. This will cause issues as the mate of an
alphaâ
"I know. "
Getting out Dakota and my father whispered about something. It was
clear when they switched to mind link I wasn't welcome to know what
they were talking about. Suddenly Dakota grabbed my dad and
whipped him to the ground. I heard the barks and growls and my feet
felt frozen in place. My hands were shaking as I brought them to my
face.
"Stop." My voice is low and not powerful enough. I heard my father yip
in pain and my knees felt weak.
Don't you dare freeze up, you have to do something! Bring my shaking
hands to my face, I yelled.
"Stop it right now.â
Both pulled back from each other. No words were spoken to me as they
walked off together. Leaving me to my thoughts I tried to pinpoint to
exactly the moment I had started to have this issue, but I couldn't find
anything that would cause this.
Two weeks went on where Dakota would attack my father in front of
me. Each attack got worse. Looking at them fighting before me my
hands were still shaking but this time I wolfed. My paws moved and I
threw myself between them. With a growl, they pulled apart. My father
also in wolf form licked my cheek as if to say I did it.
"Come on get shifted. Food needs to be delivered.â
Remembering that it's been two weeks since I saw Lucio last my heart
did some fluttery shit just thinking about seeing him. Smiling to myself I
ran to get dressed. I had so many things I wanted to ask Lucio now that
I had time to think about many questions.
I pulled random clothing on and looked in the mirror. I had on tight
black sweatpants and a grey long sleeve on. I looked somewhat decent.
A knock on my door made me groan.
"Come on Siryn we haven't got all day.â
"I'm going. Just hold on.â
Grabbing scissors and a comb I smiled to myself. It was haircut time.
Running out of my personal cabin I jumped in the jeep with my dad. I
was actually pretty excited to give Lucio a haircut he really needed one,
really bad. I wondered what type of hair cut he would look the best
with and I let my mind wander about it.
"Okay let's go."
"Hold on lover boy."
"Eh. What?"
"Do you plan on spending the night?"
"Probably."
My dad grabbed a paper bag out of the glove compartment and
handed it to me. Looking at him confused I opened the bag.
Condoms.
Busting out laughing I handed them back. He raised his eyebrow at me.
He clearly didn't get that Lucio and I weren't even kissing yet. Sex was
so far away it wasn't even sight.
"I don't need those!"
"Oh yeah. Why's that?"
"Lucio won't even kiss me at the moments so fucking is a long long
hike up the mountain of nope right now."
My dad busted out laughing. Of course, he would find this great. The
food shipment this time was twice as much. Dakota explained this was
so that when he gave the new stand in beta the instructions for training
that they had enough food to feed wolves that were bulking up.
When we pulled up to the pack it looked amazing. The houses were
built and children played outside. One thing was missing though. Lucio.
I still couldn't believe how good the pack looked now. It was amazing.
We had all done so much work and it really paid off in many ways. I was
super happy that they would be able to bulk up some of the wolves for
warriors and hunters because Lucioâs pack really needed more wolves
that could defend the land.
Figuring Lucio was in the strange open office upstairs I hopped out of
the car and jogged inside. Closing the door behind me I had one goal,
sneak upon him. Making it to the stairs I was surprised I had gotten that
far without him saying something but when I reached the top of the
stairs I knew why. Lucio laid passed out in his chair, his head on his
desk. Paperwork all around him. Pulling out my phone I snapped a
quick photo for later, you know blackmail and shit. He was adorable
when he was sleeping, but I was worried he wasn't getting enough
sleep at night.
Quietly I watched him for a few moments before attempting to wake
him up. He woke up pretty easily.
"Hey. Watching people sleep is creepy you know."
A blush crawled up my cheeks as I told him to shut up over and over
again. Following Lucio outside, he told me some plans he had for a
small garden in the summer months.l thought that was super cute and
just something so far out in left field for Lucio. But I was down to help
with a small garden that would only last for a month then die.
"So I think if we plant a small tree here----"
Everything went so quiet. Then growling broke out. Turning around I
watched as both Dakota And my dad attacked Lucio. Panic sailed
through my blood but I took a deep breath and yelled.
"Stop this shit right now!"
They all split. But that didn't stop the feeling of rage in my gut. Lucio
had a small gash on his cheek that was bleeding slightly. Without
warning my wolf shoved me back. My wolf who had been silent all this
time and I felt the true power my wolf held. Never before had I been
able to control my shift meaning I could use my claws without a full
shift. Looking down my human hands had claws. My wolf had made
both Dakota and my father a target. My wolf and I were all in for
attacking them. I needed to protect Lucio. By all means. My wolf had
finally had enough with allowing my family to hurt themselves and
others. They had even ruined my plan to give Lucio the haircut he really
did desperately need.
