"You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both." Brené Brown

Red.

Hot.

Pain.

That's all I could think, standing here. Chaos was not even the word I could use, everyone was going on like a bunch of rabies-infected dogs, surrounded by fire.

Wait...

There actually is a fire though...

Shit, 

'Will you get your fucken head out of your ass, and focus!' Ella snapped within me.

Great, as if I have time for her, now. 

'I heard that.'

"Oh, uh... Sorry." I said back.

The realization hit me hard, in the face to be exact. My legs were burning like hell, and I had no idea how to stop this. 

"You're not burning, you idiot. What your feeling, is what Alexander is feeling." Ella growled at me. 

Wow... someone is in a mood today.

I on the other hand felt calm and collected, almost, like this is all normal, to me.

"Hey, earth to idiot! Will you please focus, or do you want our mate to die here!"  She growled again.

I snapped out of my little game of thrones moment and took a closer look at Alexander.

He looked like he lost all control of his mind, he was trying to get to Dale, which had a ring of fire around his neck, choking him. 

I could not focus, all I saw was red, bright, red flames, pulling me into its grip. The warm, power of the fire spoke to the very core of my soul, the avalanche of flames danced around me, pulling me into its dance of danger. 

I felt like a spell was put on me, nothing makes sense and here I am, standing in the middle, of a burning, circle of hell.

The pull was something that I have never felt before, I knew, I needed to help Alexander. The only way now is to figure this shit out. 

'Ella, what do I do?'

'Just own it. You know how.' she responded. Fuck, was she mental or something? I don't know anything.

'I can't just... how do I?' 

'You are overthinking this, that's your problem. The longer you think about it, the less time you have, to safe Alexander.'

How the hell does she expect me to do something, that I have no idea how to do? Goddess, what is it she is even talking about? and how do I even do it? I don't even have an idea of what is going on around me. 

Am I some kind of freak... Goddess, am I a hybrid? shit, what if I'm crossed with some kind of dragon, or worse. A demon?

'Your hormones are running away with you, again. Now FOCUS.' 

'Hormones? Fuck hormones, Ella! I don't know what to do. AND just so you know, I'm blaming the counter treatment!' I said, in a matter of fact, tone.

A bolt of pain shot through my neck, and I knew it was Alexander, his pain is unbearable, and he still has a straight face, still trying to get to Dale...

Wait. Dale is doing this?

'My word, where have you been the last five minutes?' Ella asked me, and I did not like her tone, one bit.

"Mummy." 

I heard her, I heard her little voice echoing through the door of the office.

Shit. She cant see this.

I had enough of this now. This is ending, now. 

I pulled my hands into fists,  allowing the heat to spread through my body. My breathing, calm, collected, and steady. 

If only my heart rate felt like that, right about now.

Shit scared is not the word to describe how I feel, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. All I know is that I need to embrace it.  

Embrace the fire.

Hands in fists, I took a deep breath and felt the heat spread through me, it felt similar to the day in the cells, which now seems so long ago. 

My veins felt like they were on fire, the pain of the heat within me was completely blinding my vision, causing black dots to blind my sight.

'Close your eyes, and pull in the fire.' Ella said.

'Wait. Pull in, the fucken fire? How the hell? I already feel like a fried wolf!'

'Do it! Now.' 

I closed my eyes, doing just, I don't know what, but I followed Ella's instructions. 

The pain shot up my arms, like thunder, hitting its target. I cringed, as it traveled to my head. The pain felt like wolfsbane, dripped in silver-coated acid, no, worse.

"Shit," I shouted in pain, but I knew, I won't give up. Not now. I ignored the pain and opened my eyes. 

I felt the heat in my face, in my eyes, burning like living hell. I took another deep breath and, just when the pain was at its worst, it dissipated, like it was never there. 

Alexander POV

The pain I'm feeling is nothing, compared to what I'm going to do to this dickhead! Just as I was about to reach him and pull his fucken head from his neck, another bolt of pain shot through me.

Shit.

All I could think about was her, her pain, and her suffering. How can your own family do this to you?

'Correction, uncle.'  Zane said, calmly, not a fucken care in the world.

'How do I help her?'

'You can't. She will need to figure this out herself. Just be ready to kill the dick.' 

'What? How can I not do anything? Zane where is your fucken head? She is our mate.' I said growling at him.

'Im aware, I just know more than you do.' he said, all cocky and full of pride.

'Mind sharing?' 

'No just-'"

"Mummy?" Lily's desperate call for Monica, was enough to rip my heart straight out of my chest.

FUCK.

"William, Cole. Get Lily away from my office. NOW!" I shouted through the mind link. 

"What's going on?" they both linked back.

"Just do as your fucken told." I snapped back at them, closing the connection.

"Shit," Monica shouted, her raspy voice sent a shiver of pain through my body. All I wanted to do was hold her, tell her it's going to be okay.

"I'm going to kill this son of a bitch!!" I shouted, growling and snapping for dear life at Dale. I was only inches away from him, and there is no way in hell, that I am slowing down, no matter how much this fucken fire burned. 

I will kill him.

The moment was fast and I almost missed it.

The pain faded, and all I could hear was, Dale's head, landing with a loud thud, on the floor.

Silence,

dead,

silence.

I turned to face Monica, only to be stabbed in the heart, by the sight before me...

She was on her knees, holding her chest, as she tried to breathe. Her fucken family was standing a few feet away from her, horrified, to say the least, just glaring at her, in shock.

She lifted her head, it's then that I noticed her eyes. It was like the fire was dancing within her eyes. The red shine of movement faded as her eyes returned to their normal shade of hazel.

She is so beautiful, so fucken beautiful. My moment of admiration was short-lived when the light left her eyes. 

Shit.

"I got you," I said to her, as I cached her fallen, limp body.

William and Cole came bursting into the room. "What the fuck happened in here?" Cole asked. 

"Looks like they were having some sort of barbeque. It reeks of burned hair in here." William said with her normal, idiot tone of fucken annoyance. 

"Shit," he said again, looking at my mate in my arms.

"Yeah, Shit, now, fuck out of my sight, before I kill you, like Dale!!!"  I roared in anger.

"Can we help?" Marcus asked. His face once again filled with worry and fear.

"I got her, get rid of the body." 

I picked her up, bridal style. Her body was light, like a feather as I carried her towards the door.

"If anything happens to her, Alpha Luke. You better be gone when I get back, because I, will hunt you down. I will kill you, but first." I looked back at him, anger clouded my vision as I spat out.

"I'll kill your mate, and I'll make you watch."

"Are you fucken insane," he growled back at me. 

The nerve of this dick.

"William. Hold her." I handed Monica, gently to William. I know, he will never think of her like that. Not William.

I took a few steps towards Alpha Luke, Zane was fighting me again, but I knew. I had to do this, me, Alexander. I needed this, for her.

I grabbed him by his shirt, lifting him in the air, as his mate and parents gasped in shock.

"Now. You listen to me, Luke! You wanted this. You asked her to meet your parents. She agreed and I let her go through with it because she needed this. Now. How do you think she will feel when she wakes up, if, she waked up?" I let go of his shirt as he fell to the ground.

"You placed my mate in danger, your own fucken sister. I get it, you don't know her.  But I do, she is my mate, she has a heart made of gold and you used that, to bring that sick bastard in here. Not only did you endanger my mate, but you place a tremendous amount of stress on her and her body. For that, I will kill you, all of you!"

I took her from William, gently placing her head against my chest. Her breathing was calm and steady, almost like she was sleeping. I walked back to the door, ready to leave, but Zane broke through, turned towards them, and growled.

"She has five fucken percent, and you might have even taken that away, as well!" 

Hi All. I hope this chapter was okay, I felt so stuck the last few days and I hope that the writing is up to standard.  I'm sorry,  I hope this one was worth the wait.

Do you think that Monica can rebuild her relationship with her parents?
