The Alpha and his Panther Mate Chapter 45

IZZY

Tilly and I don’t stay long in the office, we both agreed that Linda needed to be dealt with as soon as possible but she seems to think that my father will be on our side.

As we step out from the office, Blake was already standing right outside the door on the opposite side leaning against the wall but he pushes off as soon as he sees us walking out.

I can’t help but smile at him.

“Izzy” he says as I walk up to him “Allie is doing really well and has made some new friends” he says with a smile but looks behind me, I can sense eyes on me.

I turn around and look back at Tilly, Alpha Derek and Alpha Dawson who are staring back at me with smiles on their faces “I think we should head down to the cells, make sure Linda is further away from Graham, we will speak with him first” Tilly says to the two alphas, I turn to Blake “Can you ask Kacey and Dale to come with us?” I ask “I think they will need closure and also need to hear everything.”

Blake nods but his faces goes blank when he mind links them after a few seconds, he looks at me and smiles “They will meet us there” he says.

‘The guards have placed Linda in the furthest cell away from Graham, she won’t hear a single word as the cell she is in is where we kill rogues” says Alpha Derek “Both Luna's will stay here and keep an eye on everyone else, Kat and Alice are with them while I sent Todd and Paul to train as it will keep them busy, we don’t want too many people down there.”

We nod but I look back at Blake and sigh “I guess this is the time where I get to tell Graham then” I say to him, he nods and holds out his hand for me to take “Izzy, he needs to know everything” he says.

I take his hand and sparks fly through us as our hands touch, the mate bond working and I feel at ease with Blake especially knowing he is with me.

We all head to the cells which to me look like a bunker; as soon as Alpha Derek opens the door the smell hits us hard of dried blood, vomit, urine and even death.

All three high personal walk in front while Blake let me go before him and he follows. I look to where Alpha Derek has stopped to, there leaning on the cell gate with his arms through the gaps in the gate was my father.

My father turns and looks at me which turns into a shocked expression “Izzy” he says in whisper, the door opens again from behind us as Dale and Kacey comes into view. Tilly and the two alphas move aside letting all three of my father’s children look at him. He looks completely lost, he looks between all three of us individually but he leaves me till last to look at. I can feel Blake behind me, his scent calms me.

I breath in and out, closing my eyes but when I open them Puna comes close which startles my father “Izzy” he says but Puna takes over, I’m with her, connected as one but she speaks “Not Izzy, Puna her panther” she says.

“I want to.....” he says but Puna growls “I only come forward to see you but you don’t listen to Izzy I will kill you” she says and moves back a bit but stays close. I close my eyes but open them a few seconds later, my father looks at me with hurt in his eyes “Why would your panther think I would hurt you” he asks.

I can feel Blake’s hand on my back, tingles shooting through.

I stare back at my father; I never thought I would have to do this. I never wanted to but now with everything that has come to light; my head is everywhere especially when it comes to him.

“Izzy talk to him” says Puna softly in my head.

I look at the floor and sigh but move my eyes back up to him “I need to tell you a few things I have recently learned and found out, you need to hear them” I say to him.

He stares at me but nods “Your mum was like that, straight to the point” he says and sighs “What do you need to tell me?” He asks.

I tell him everything from the night he rejected my mum, every single memory about that night about Linda and Elder Johnson being there with a witch, every detail I don’t miss but once I finish telling him, he looks angry “You lie” he says “I was never under any spell.”

I can’t help but growl “I knew you wouldn’t believe me.”

He looks back at me “Izzy why would Linda go through all that trouble and make me reject someone who was my mate” he says.

Puna is itching to come out and I let her, she comes straight up in force with me growling loud “YOU BELIEVE A WOMAN WHO WANTS POWER OVER YOUR OWN DAUGHTER” she says, she lets slips some power and grabs Graham by the throat through the cell gate, she growls I step forward and our voice is as one, his eyes goes wide “Surprise but that bitch was the cause of my mother’s death, she made sure you drank whatever you needed to and made sure you rejected her” I say with a snarl, I can feel everyone’s eyes on us “I never lied to you, but one thing I will say, Panther shifters only have one mate so having two has never been heard of” I say and let my hand go of his neck.

I look back at him and he holds his neck while gasping “Have you ever wondered why you never wanted to come and get me? The daughter you once loved and wanted, you were the one who taught me how to ride a bike when I was six, when you were supposed to patrolling” I say to him as a tear slides down my face “I had to watch my mother die, I had to be an adult at the age of eleven. I had to go on the run because I was being hunted by every god damn shifter and human because they wanted me dead.”

He looks at me with hurt in his eyes but I carry on “I never had a reason to lie to you, do you know what it was like to watch you drive away when I was running after your car as you left after the rejection. I was in the middle of the road crying for an hour before Kat came. Mum was in pain, not only did I lose my mother but I lost you too” I say to him.

I wipe my tears away; I can feel Kacey coming to the side of me “Dad, Izzy is speaking the truth. Mum caused all this because of power” she says in a whisper, she places her hand in mine which surprises me but Dale comes to the other side of me and I look up at him, he smiles down at me but when he turns to our father he growls “You always told us to come to you if we ever had something to say, so here are all three of your children standing together now.....” he says “Mum and Elder Johnson caused all this, not Izzy. She wants mum dead and in all honesty, we all do.”

He looks between all three of us staring back with a blank expression.

“Graham, all three of your children are standing in front of you telling you what Linda has been up and done, how about we hear it from the horse’s mouth?” says Alpha Derek who opens the cell gate door.

Graham looks at all three of us, both Kacey and Dale walk up to him and hug him as he steps out but I move back. He leans into them both but he looks up at me with a small smile.

We have to talk more and he knows that but at the moment I need him to know about what Linda did, he needs to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

I look towards Blake who gives me a smile but it goes as we look down the corridor where we can hear “Let me out, I’m an elders daughter I shouldn’t be in here” she says snarling.

I growl.

I look over to the Graham, Dale and Kacey who are staring at me “I think you three need to stay back, just some where you can hear what’s being said. By the look on everyone’s face here we all want a piece of her but I want to talk to her first” I said in a whisper to them.

They nod.

I turn to Blake “You stay here too. I want her to tell me everything and you being there won’t help. She will open to me more if she thinks I’m on my own” I say to him. Blake looks back at me but Tilly walks over and places her hand on his shoulder “Nothing will happen to her, besides her panther will kill her before she does anything but we need to hear say everything to her” she says to him quietly.

He nods and looks back at me without saying anything.

I can feel Puna coming closer to the surface; she wants to be out for this. I walk to the end cell, I need to confront the woman who has caused all of this.
