My Two Alphas

Chapter 21

Lucy POV

I awoke to the sound of voices, my head was pounding and my neck stinging. Groaning, I get up

rubbing my eyes as I swing my legs over the side of the bed. I find myself in Tyson’s room. The door

was cracked open slightly and I could hear the murmurs of people talking somewhere in the

packhouse. Getting up, I clutch my neck, the movement making my mark sting. Tears brim in my eyes

that he marked me. I hated him. I hated him with everything in me. I felt betrayed by him. Now there

was no escaping the bond.

Walking to the door I open it, the door creaking and the house suddenly falls quiet. “Tyson?” I call

out, hoping Ace isn’t the one that is home. I hear footsteps before seeing Tyson suddenly appear in the

hallway and I rush to him. Throwing my arms around him, he hugs me close and I breathe in his scent,

sparks rushing over my skin as he presses his lips to my head. Hearing voices again I look up at him.

“Who is here, is Ace here?” I ask, not wanting to see him.

“No, he isn’t here but come on” Tyson says, grabbing my hand and tugging me down the hall when

I get the burnt smell of Almonds overloading my senses and I knew a demon was in the house. I freeze

my entire body locking up and Tyson stops before cupping my face and brushing his thumb over my

cheek.

“You are safe I promise, Ace isn’t here” He says tugging me to him before walking me out into the

living room. If I was scared before it was nothing compared to how I felt now seeing all their faces. I feel

bile rise in my throat and I rip my hand from Tyson’s. My heart raced in my chest so hard I could hear it.

My stomach drops as I stare back at my stepfather, Aamon, Avery and last of all my mother. I step

backwards, this can’t be happening, why were they looking at me like that?

I hated being in the spotlight and suddenly all eyes were on me. The pity in their eyes made me

feel pathetic and I knew they knew. I look at Tyson and step further toward the front door, my stepfather

stepping in front of it before I could make a run for it.

“You told them?” I ask, horrified and humiliated looking at Tyson.

“They needed to know, Lucy” I shake my head. How could he, how could he do this to me?

“Lucy?” My mother says softly, making me look at her and her huge swollen belly, tears running

down her cheeks as she tries to get up.

“No, no, you don’t get to care now, none of you do” I tell her before looking at Tyson.

“How could you, you are supposed to be my mate?” I told him.

“That’s not a secret I could keep Lucy,” Tyson says.

“It wasn’t yours to tell either” I scream at him. Tears running down my face at the complete and

utter embarrassment of this situation. This is the last thing I wanted was for everyone to know,

everyone to judge me.

“They can help, Avery and Aamon needed to know Lucy. What if he does it to someone else, could

you live with that, knowing you could have stopped it” Tyson says, stepping toward me.

“Well they know now don’t they” I tell him turning back for the bedroom realising I have no chance

of escaping out the front door.

“Lucy stop!” My stepfather commands, my feet becoming suddenly glued to the floor unable to

take another step. His Alpha aura rolled over me, sending a wave of pain through me as I grit my teeth,

a whimper leaving my lips. I hear Tyson growl.

“Drop it brother, king or not I will hurt you” Tyson growls walking over to me where I was frozen.

The command drops and I gasp sucking in a breath. Tyson wraps his arms around me, his hands

running up and down my arms before resting his chin on my shoulder. I relax against him, leaning into

him, sparks running over me making me want to step closer and live in his warmth, not that I could get

any closer to him when he was already pressed against me.

“You have nothing to be embarrassed about Lucy, what he did is wrong. No one deserves that, but

you have to tell them” Tyson murmurs.

“I don’t want to tell them” I whisper, horrified at the thought, my biggest shame, my weakest

moment. Tell them how pathetic I was? What if they blame me, I shut the door. I could have ran but I

stupidly shut the door. I don’t want to tell anyone that, have them look at me differently.

“You don’t have to say it Lucy, just let me look, let me in your head” Comes Avery’s voice. I shake

my head and she gets up walking toward me, her emerald green eyes sparkling back at me as she

stands before me, she always looked so regal, so strong and I could see why she was the demon witch

high priestess, she truly was a remarkable woman and had done so much to help us mutations, she

helped save us, helped free us. She cups my face in her hands, her auburn hair hanging over one

shoulder to her waist as she gazed down at me.

“You don’t have to tell anyone okay, just let me see. I need to see Lucy, I can’t convict him if I

haven't seen the truth”

“Convict him?” I ask. And she nods, her thumbs rubbing under my eyes when I suddenly get an

idea, I touch my mark on my neck knowing she is the only person to exist that can remove a mate

bond, she was half succubus, her father asemodeous was the prince of hell, her mother was the queen

of the faewood coven before Aamon murdered her, everyone has heard the stories of Avery and

Aamon’s tragic past, yet she still loved him brought him back from the dead after she killed him for his

betrayal. I envied that she loved him enough to bring him but I hated Ace, hated his mark that lay on

my neck.

“You let me see Lucy, I promise you will never have to see him again”

“What will happen to him?” I ask.

“I will send him back to the pits of hell where he belongs, my father will make sure he burns

everyday for what he did for the rest of eternity” She says, her voice never wavering and I knew she

would do just that, I nod and she smiles softly.

“I will also do what you want to ask but can’t bring yourself too” She says knowingly.

“What’s that?” I hear Tyson ask behind me.

She doesn’t answer him, instead answers me. “Sometimes you gotta destroy them, to make them

see the error of their ways, if he doesn’t you will always have Tyson, he won’t go anywhere” She tells

me.

“Will it be permanent?” I ask, wondering if I will regret it. Mate bonds were sacred and even though

I am not a werewolf anymore I still didn't want to shun the moon goddess.

“No, I am just giving your choice back, something he never should have taken” She says and I nod

a tear slipping down my cheek that she brushes away.

Her eyes burn brighter and her hands warm up before I am plunged into my memories, Avery

going through and filtering through them and I watch them flash past in snippets before stopping on the

worst day of my life. The memory playing out and despite knowing I was safe and it wasn’t happening I

felt fear grip me in its deadly vice, tearing me apart once again as I am forced to relieve every terrifying

moment of it. I feel myself start to panic, my breathing getting harder and harder before I am suddenly

struggling to breathe.

Hands moving up my arms before hearing Tyson’s voice next to my ear,”I’m right here, calm down

babe, right here, I won't let anyone hurt you” He says soothingly, his hands warming me as I focus on

his scent while the image flash by before I suddenly see Avery’s face smiling sadly at me. “Thank you

Lucy, he will pay. I can assure you that” She says before her eyes flicker black.

“Now let's take care of this, we will have company soon” She says. Her hand went to my neck.

“Will it hurt?” I ask.

“It won’t hurt you child, but he will feel it,” She says.

“Lucy?” Tyson says but I don't answer Avery does.

“It isn’t permanent, but now she can choose whether or not to let him mark her again” Avery tells

him and I look up at Tyson, he presses his lips in a line but nods his head.

Avery looks back at me before I feel her hand on my neck go spine tingling cold, I shiver before I

gasp feeling the teether snap. A cold feeling settled over me but it wasn’t painful, just empty, numb.

She pulls her hand away. “The foreign feeling will ease, I promise but it will linger until you either

let him mark you again or reject him” She says and I nod, swallowing before looking at Tyson. Hearing

a roar outside I jump and Avery’s eyes dart to the door.

“And that would be Ace” She says, her eyes flickering dangerously. The door is suddenly thrown

open smashing into my stepfather.

“What did you do Lucy?” Ace screams at me before marching over to me. Ryker growls behind him

and goes to rip him back but it was Avery that stepped forward with her hands going to his face. He NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

clutches her hands as they lock onto the side of his head, before his eyes roll into the back of his head.

Ace’s body starts to tremble, his canines protruding before his breathing becomes raggard, she

suddenly lets him go and he staggers backwards. Ryker grabbed his arm to steady him before his eyes

locked on me. I step back into Tyson, his hand going around my waist and Ace looks at Avery.

“Did you, that really?” He shakes his head, his face twisted in anger.

“I gave you her memories, maybe next time you will make better choices, never pick anyone over

your mate” Avery tells him before walking over to Aamon.

“It wasn’t a lie?” Ace gasps and my heart hurts at his words, he really thought I would lie about

something like that, he believed Melana over me? It hurts and I glare at him. Disgusted that he still

didn;t believe me even after I told them.

“I will take care of Mr Tanner, but we will be leaving now” Avery says and I nod, she truly was a

good woman. Her and Aamon mist out of the room, the smell of burnt almonds gets stronger and I

cringe.

“Lucy?” My mother says from where she is sitting on the couch, I look at her smiling sadly.

“I’m sorry, I didn't know. You can come home if you want” She blurts as I turn to leave the room.

“Lucy don’t upset your mother” Ryker says behind me and I turn back to face the room.

“Yet she has no problem upsetting me, the moment you had Rayan you forgot about me, I get it, I

was created from a bad past, one you wanted to forget, a constant reminder so don’t worry mother, you

don’t have to worry about me corrupting your real your children” I tell her before turning on my heel and

walking off.

“Lucy?” She calls and my heart clenched at her voice.

“Just let her calm down, she has had a rough day. I will bring her back over during the week” I hear

Tyson tell her but I just walk back to his room shutting the door. I wanted nothing more than to curl up

and go to sleep and forget this day ever happened along with the rest of the days that torment

me.
