The Phoenix girl

When I was little, I had a crush on Aldo, I confused love between friendship and romantic love, I always took care of myself from the teasing of the kids at our school, either because of my hair color or because I only had my mom; kids can be cruel, every time they teased me Aldo would fight with them now, I understand why he always won.

I blushed a lot when he spoke nicely to me, my heart always raced when he hugged me, he gave me his food when I didn't eat mine before, obviously he had the same attentions with Karla, it was just me in love with him, it was me who got excited, I was just a confused girl, I was eleven years old when that happened at that young age, my mom had to give me a talk about the love of friends that day I noticed that I love Aldo I will always love him, but only as the best friend I could have.

The moment I came back I looked for them all, I wanted to know if they were okay, I was surprised when I saw that where my best friend's pack was, there was only rubble and a dark energy emerging in every place, my father told me that there was a battle in that place where many people died, but that my friends were still alive, I dedicated myself to looking for them from there and now that I have them staring at me without blinking, that's making me a little uneasy.

—Stop looking at me, you make me nervous —and I'm serious, this office seems to get smaller with every minute of your stares and that really scares me.

—I'm sorry my Luna, but I don't understand, what's going on? —I had an immense desire to hug him, how come he makes that face like a scolded puppy. I feel our bond getting stronger and stronger and we're not even touching, it's incredible that I can contain myself with what my phoenix wants to throw itself at him and mark him with my fragrance so that no one gets close to him.

And of course, if his gaze is so sweet, his smile so beautiful, his concern for me or how at times I see flashes of joy, as if he still doesn't believe that I'm in front of him.

—Eli we're confused, tell us what's going on because it seems like he's like twenty and you don't smell like a human anymore. —For a moment I forgot that they were werewolves, of course if as soon as my friend says that Aldo and my mate smell the air as if trying to smell my essence.

—It smells like roses —Aldo begins— Eli, your smell was never like roses, you said you were allergic to them —I laugh at what he says and I wasn't allergic to it, I just didn't like it when they gave them to me.

—It smells delicious, it's the best fragrance in the whole world —this wolf will kill me with sweetness and the bad thing is that I can't tell him with his parents, here I know Aldo, the bastard loves to make fun of me when I behave all clingy with someone.

—Okay, I'll tell you, but whoever interrupts me will do badly —he threatened them, since I don't want to repeat the same thing twice— well, to start, when Aldo rejected me, I ran out into the forest and Dinora went after me and tried to kill me —I heard a growl—. I said not to interrupt me, well, when I was about to die, I turned into a Phoenix and if you're wondering how that's possible my father is the Phoenix God. I already strayed as I was saying, the powers in me woke up and I killed the witch, but since I had already completed my Phoenix phase, my human part died, that part was Aldo's mate, I'm now supernatural, complete and that's why my Mate is Mario —he finished saying and everyone in the office stares at me.

—That answered some of my doubts —says my mate as he sits in his chair and I sit on his legs making both my mate and my in-laws surprised.

—But why did it take you twenty-five years to come back —Karla says with a bit of sadness in her voice— I'm sure you're not angry with us —keep going the same way, I'm happy.

—Well, in my defense, where I was, it was two months —I tell them and they look at me strangely.

—How were you? —Aldo asks me.

—Do you believe me if I tell you that I lived among gods —I tell him in a funny way.

—So, what I understand is that you are the daughter of a God, that makes you a demigoddess —my mate seemed surprised.

—Something like that —I tell him while I hug him, I don't know why, but I like to hug him, and he gladly receives my hug.

—Besides, I'm not angry with you, you don't know how happy I am that you're together —I tell them happily.

—So, you're not angry? —You already sound like a broken record.

—No, of course not, besides, I've already seen you two, where's Fer? —I ask them why I haven't seen him since I got here and he's supposed to be in the same pack as Aldo.

—You're talking about my cousin, the one who was in love with you —he says it with malice, it's the same, he hasn't matured.

Grrrrrrrr —I hear okay I think that part had to be omitted because my mate is hugging me tighter.

—No, I'm talking about our friend Fer, the one who grew up with us, the one who got into trouble to help us.

—Like your cousin was in love with my mate —Mario says angrily.

—That's another story, son —Karla tries to reassure him— aside from answering your question, we haven't heard from Fer since the night you disappeared —I didn't expect that.

—Being wolf, I've stopped being jealous, I only saw him as a friend —I tell him and I hug him again, I really like hugging him and he likes to hug me.

—But I don't like knowing that someone sees you in a romantic way, you're Mine —he tells me with his jealous mode activated.

—Yes, whatever you say, wolf, but claim me as an object again and you'll be beaten —I threatened him because I don't like that thing about wolves that claim their mates as objects.

—Whatever my Luna orders —my wolf was nervous, I think he's fighting with his animal spirit to control himself.

—I think our son is going to do what his Luna orders —says Aldo, amused, earning a scowl from me.

—No father, I'm not going to run errands, I'll just do what makes my Luna happy —he says so nicely, my dear in-laws were just laughing at my mate seriously, I'm not bossy, I was going to say something to shut them up, but they knocked on the door, my little wolf said he'll come in and it was Yassi very happy.

—Excuse me, but Eli has already arrived to see the neophytes and you can't imagine who's back —I don't understand who she's talking about— you're terrible at riddles, but Yack is back —she says it so cheerfully that, if her mate hears her for sure and locks her up again, wait, she said that Yack is back, I get up as fast as I can from my mate's legs earning a grunt.

Grrrr

—You just growled at me —I see him upset.

—No, my Luna —he says scared, earning the mockery of his parents. Seriously, the poor guy must have traumas with his parents. Just when my little wolf was going to tell them something, Yack enters the office like Pedro in his own home.

—Girl, fire, long time no see —Yack tells me, opening his arms to hug me —How are you, my Eli?

—Bloodsucker, it's your fault for not visiting us —I hug him back. I missed this clueless guy a lot, but the moment is cut short because my jealous wolf pushes me away and hugs me.

—I see you found your mate and I see that he's an Alpha, poor you —I roll my eyes at what he says because I already know how jealous Alphas are.

—I better introduce them before I rip your head off —he pointed at the vampire; he doesn't want to make me angry.

—I was just playing now, now I see that only little Yassi has a sense of humor —she says to him while ruffling his hair until we hear another growl and there he is, this time it's not my little wolf but the boy from earlier—. I don't believe it until little Yassi has mate, it can't be, I'll tell the boys, oh by the way Nick already knows what to find your mate —he has that damn mocking grimace, I know him, he knows that the wolf won't like this situation at all.

—No, and you better shut up, because I'm going to tell him, it's clear —I say seriously, although Nick scares me.

—Well, he's Yack prince of vampires, Yack he's Mario my Mate and they are my in-laws Aldo and Karla —I say to him while pointing at them, but I think it was a bad idea to point at Aldo because Yack's face isn't good.

—You're talking about the same Aldo that caused you to almost get killed —he says angrily, he was going to throw himself at him to hit him, but I stop him.

—Yack, he wasn't to blame for anything, I've told you a thousand times so calm down —I tell him angrily and he knows that when I get angry nothing goes right.

—I understand, but Nick won't be so easy to convince so I think that when he comes it's better if you don't show up —she says to Aldo.

—Wait, you just said that Nick is going to come —I was incredulous because he just found out that I'm here.

—And not just him, when I got your message that you were in a pack I told them and they told me that they would come —he tells me as calm and relaxed as possible.

—Oh, I'll kill you bloodsucker, I'll take you fang by fang! —he shouted and if it weren't for my wolf grabbing me I would already be more dead than I am.

—They should tell her anyway, besides who is the wolf that is stalking me with his gaze —he says pointing at my friend's mate and the truth is I also have a doubt about his name.

—He is Cesar, my beta and Yassi's mate —my little wolf points at him, still holding my waist.

—Well, flea-bitten, don't look at me like that, Yassi is like my sister and secondly, I want to see your face with the others because Yassi is the baby of the group —and it's true I turned Yassi before she died from a beating her stepfather had given her for not letting herself be raped, obviously the guy got what he deserved from dad, he got so angry that day.

—I already told you that I'm not a baby —he says pouting.

—Well, your attitude shows the opposite, besides you're only eighteen, so you're our baby —I tell her making her angrier, although her mate sees her as if she were the most wonderful thing in the world.

—I think she looks pretty— says Cesar, earning a hug from my friend.

—Ew, how cute everyone here is in a couple and I don't have my partner —she pretends sadness.

—Stop being jealous, now I have to give explanations to the beings who are the most protective of the planet, even more than my uncles —I say upset, because if it wasn't because I love him I would already be scorched.

—Your love hurts, you know —Yack as always acting dramatic.

—You know you are a Drama Queen —I tell him mockingly, although that caused everyone in the office to laugh, even the pale face.

—Who are you talking about? Who are you afraid of? —my poor little wolf asks me, he doesn't know what's coming.

—I'm not afraid for myself, but for you —I hug him tightly, I give him a small kiss on the cheek.

—What? —he puts on a doubtful face, he's so cute.

—You'll understand, little wolf, you'll understand, for now I'm hungry, so where's the kitchen —Yack and I are like separated brothers, we have the same sense of humor and the same hunger.

—What! Don't think about eating the cook —says the beta, we stare at them seriously, he thinks Fangs wants to eat the cook.

—No, little wolf, he sucks blood, he wants food, not the cook —Yassi explains.

—But he's a vampire, they don't only drink blood —asks Cesar.

—That stereotype hurts me, honestly —he says touching his chest, acting indignant—for your information, vampires only drink blood when we need it, the other times we eat like everyone else —he explains the truth, I also thought the same when I met him.

—Well, whatever, go eat, besides, I suppose you already sent your neophytes to your father's castle —I tell him because knowing him, he forgets very quickly what he has to do.

—Yes ma'am, that was the first thing I did —he tells me striking a military pose.

Meanwhile, he sucks blood, went to the kitchen, Aldo and Karla left, I still have things to ask them both, I don't know where Yassi and her mate went, the only thing I know is that poor boy, what's coming to him. I was left alone with my little wolf in the office, so I think it's better that we get to know each other better, he sits back down on the chair and I do what I did earlier and sit on his lap.

—My Luna, a while ago, you told me that you knew what I had expected when I looked for you —he tells me and maybe I shouldn't have opened my big mouth, it seems I'll have to tell him the truth.

—Well, to start —I tell him a little nervous— the thing is that I was the one who asked my aunt to give Aldo a new mate and after that my father told me that I would also have a mate. My father told me when you were already looking for me, but he never told me who you were or where you were. —I tell him as sincerely as I can, although I see surprise on his face, I hope he doesn't get angry.

—So, you made mom and dad be mates.

—Actually, it was my aunt, what I asked her was to give Aldo another chance, I didn't specify who was chosen as mate —I explain again, although I must confess that I like her face when she asks me a question.

—When do you say your aunt who are you referring to?

—The goddess Moon —when I told him my aunt's name, he was very impressed.

—You're saying that your aunt is the Goddess Moon —he says incredulously.

—If my aunt is the Goddess Moon, like the other gods, you didn't pay attention when I said that my dad is the Phoenix God —I tell him impatiently.

—Yes, but don't imagine all that, will you tell my parents that you asked the goddess to give my father another chance?

—I don't think they have much information to assimilate with the fact that I'm not dead, besides I still have to look for my mother and brother and also Fer, they still think I'm dead —she explained to him, although when I mention Fer again, he holds me tighter to his blessed body, jealous wolf.

—If you want, I can help you look for your mother and your brother, but I don't think I'm sure about my father's cousin and he's still in love with you and I wouldn't put up with that, I'll kill him first

—I think I'll have to talk to my aunt, get an Alpha as a serious mate if they're the most jealous.

—Leave your jealousy aside Fer, I only see him as a friend, although I must confess that we were boyfriends —how could he not get more seriously jealous than the wolves have with growling—. He keeps growling and I don't say anything to you, well as it was, he and I broke up and we stayed as friends, I only see him as that, a friend so you let go of that jealousy - as I see him trying to say something and I don't want to fight with my mate the first day I meet him, I do the best I can to calm him down, I kiss him...
