Lexy's POV

I wonder what Grandpa want to talk about... I mean, he could have just come and talk to me personally but no, he has to send someone to do it... What does he want to say anyway?

"Are we near yet?" Jonathas asked like for a million times!

"For the last time NO!" I shouted and continued walking toward the council's house.

Yes, Jonathas is coming along with me to see Grandpa. I didnt ask him to come, he insisted to come and believe me i tried to convince him not to come, i even tied him to a tree for heaven's sakes! But he got out, huh, better work on my knots next time.

"Why are you following me anyway?" I asked in irritation.

"I'm your mate. Of course i should be and always will be with my mate no matter what. I'll always be here no matter what." He smiled.

 For some reason, i was no longer irritated. All i felt was just... love and care from Jonathas. Only the sound of his voice makes me happy. It's true what they say that you're weakness is your mate. If anything happens to him, i'd-

 "Kill myself and be together with him forever." Jonathan's voice suddenly popped in my head making me stop.

"You reed my mind?!"

"Your guard was down." then, he suddenly had a grin on his face.

"So... what would you really do if anything happens to me?" He asked smiling.

Jonathas's POV

I never knew Lexy would actually think like that! i mean, with only my voice could cheer him up, what if i touch her?! She definitely is my weakness. If anything happens to her, i'll kill myself!

"What would i do if anything happens to you?" She repeated with a seductive voice making me want to touch her.

She moved closer to me making me take a step back, only for it to feel the roughness of the tree. She moved closer with a seductive smile playing on her pretty face. She closed in on me and she placed her hand on my chest making me feel the sparks and the urge to feel her. she slowly puts her hand lower until they touched my abs. Wow, i never knew Lexy had a side like this.

"You want me to make you feel what i'll do if anything happens to you?" she whispered on my ear sending a chill down my spine and all i did was nod.

"I'll do..." then she suddenly punched me right where her hands were.

"This!" she shouted and i feel on the ground holding my now painful stomach.

I groaned in pain, feeling my painful stomach.

"That's what i'll do when something happens to you." she smiled and continued walking.

Damn that woman! He sure knows how to make a guy feel week. A seducing one that is. But hey, it wont be fun is she isn't feisty. What a feisty mate i have.

Lexy's POV

Seriously, does it kill to have a mate that isnt a perv? Shesh...

i continued walking and i was guessing he was back on his feet since i could feel his presence close.

"That wasn't very nice mate." he spoke.

"Aww, did i hurt the big strong Alpha?" i chuckled.

 "You're lucky you're my mate." he whispered but i heard it.

Yeah... i am lucky.

we finally arrived to the pack house and surprisingly, Daddy David wasn't there to greet us. Weird. I knocked on the door and no one came. How come none of the councils are here? I twisted the door knob and pushed the door open to see if anyone's home but... what welcomed me was an empty living room. where could they have gone?

I went in and Jonathas followed from behind quickly after closing the door. No one was there, not even Dimitri. I looked for my Grandfather's office room and found it just near Dimitri's office. i knocked thinking it was properly closed but when my hand made contact with the door, it opened. it wasnt locked or even properly closed.

"Grand-" then the smell of blood hit me.

it was coming from inside. I quickly opened the door and to my horror, i saw my Grandfather resting his upper body on his desk, his white polo was not turned to red, even his hands were dripping with blood. i felt myself shaking, shaking in horror. Blood, blood everywhere. How? How could- Why would someone do something this horrific?! 

Jonathas pulled my hand, making me face his hard chest. he wrapped his arms around me, attempting to stop me from shaking. I held back my tears not wanting to show any kind of weakness to anyone, even my mate.

"Dont hold back." Jonathas spoke making me look at him with wide eyes.

"Crying isnt a weakness, it never is. I'm always here, i'll always be here to shield your tears." he added making me burst into tears.

Thank you, thank you for having a mate like him.

Jonathas's POV

I held her tight, letting her tears fall on my shirt. we stayed in that position until she calmed down a bit. i know how hard it is for her. Loosing a grandfather who she barely knows. i let her sit down on the chair just beside the table. I placed my hand on hers as she placed her hand on her knees.

"I-I'm okay." she said uneasily making me sigh.

I kneeled down and make her look at me. I wiped her tears away and gave her a small smile.

"I'm right here." i smiled.

"Who could have done this? What kind of monster could do thins?!" she asked with anger on her voice.

"An Alpha." someone spoke making us look at the door.

There, stood a man wearing a cape. I was guessing he was a member of the council.

"Da-Daddy David." Lexy spoke looking at him.

"I'm sorry to let you see something like this my child." David, the man said.

He walked in and stood near us, keeping his eyes at me. He seems to be looking at me. I met his eyes and they were Silver, It was the first time i could meet someone with silver eyes. He finaly looked away as if looking satisfied with something he saw in me.

"Lexy, this is a letter from your Grandfather, he gave it to me before he... he died." He said handing out a letter.

"How come... how come you know who killed my Grandfather?" Lexy asked.

"I'll tell you about it later, but for now, it's important for you to read this letter." David said looking serious.

Lexy received the letter and unfold it. 

Lexy's POV

"To my Dearest Lexy;

If you're reading this letter, then you must have found my dead body. I'm sorry for letting you see me like this but i was hopping to see you before i die... i'll be killed that is. Yes, i know i was ganna die, and i know very well who did this.

I wanted to see you atleast one more time before i die, i wanted to see you and tell you what i have discovered personally. But it seems that death found me.

I found another way to cure your son and your mate without you sacrificing your life, but i can not write it on this paper. I've kept the cure safe somewhere, somewhere safe and i know you'll find it. There is a key, a key inside my right jacket pocket. Go to my house and got to the basement. There's a hidden door there, behind the book shelf. There, you'll find the cure. Down there, i have something i want you and your mate to have.

I hope the cure will work.

I'm so sorry for being a uncaring grandfather Lexy, i wanted to be with you and our family but there are some problems in obtaining that dream.

But now, i can die peacefully, knowing i at least did something good for you and our family. I love you my Grand child, i'll always watch over you.

From your Grand father,

Jerome."

I sat there shaking and once again cried as i held the letter on my hands. Why? Why does Grandpa have to die? Now that we're starting fres. Now that i'm feeling his love for us. Why? WHY?!

Jonathas hugged me once again, only this time a little bit tight. I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued to cry.

"Shh... I'm right here." He said in a soft tone as he rub his hands at my back making circles.

"I'm so sorry Lexy." Daddy David said and now walking away.

"I'll be outside when you need me." He added before leaving.

I know Jonathas will never leave my side, i'm thankful but... It' really never ganna be okay. Grandfather's Gone. My Grandfather. No one can ever bring him back. Why? why would someone kill him? One thing's for sure, i'm ganna avenge my Grandfather, I'll kill that son of a bitch!

Jonathas's POV

I kept my arms around her and waited for her to calm down. I'm ganna be here for her whenever she wants me to , wherever she wants me to. I'll always be there for her, always.

Lexy finally calmed down and i slowly released her. I cupped her chin and made her look at me in the eye. Traces of tears were still visible on her cheeks and below her eyes. i wiped them away and lightly kissed her lips. Pulling away with all my might, pulling away yet wanting to kiss her deeply.

"It's ganna be alright." I smiled.

She nodded slowly and i helped her stand up. She let go of my hand and went toward her Grandfather's dead body. He went beside it and pulled out something from his right jacket pocket. She walked back toward me and we left the room but before she closed the door, she took a second and looked back,

"I'll miss you Grandfather." she whispered and closed the door.

I held her hand and she didnt shake it away. We entered the living room and the whole council was there. They all looked at us and one man stood up,

"We have a request to ask of you Lexy." The man said.

"Do you know what happened to my... Jerome, Dimitri?" she asked saying her grandfather's first name.

"Yes i am aware-"

"Then why didnt you idiots do anything?!" she asked with a loud growl.

"Because Jerome didnt want us to. He didnt want our help." Dimitri said with a sigh.

"Still, You could have helped him! You could have saved him!" 

"Lexy-" David spoke but was cut off by Lexy.

"Dont Lexy me, You could have done something to same my grandfather's life yet you didnt, you just let him die and now his killer has run free. Now you're just sitting her when you should be looking for the person responsible for what has happened!" she shouted storming off leaving me with the council.

I was about to run after her when David called my name, making me look at him.

"Jonathas. I want you to be there for Lexy, she need you right now." he said and i nodded.

I ran after her and followed her scent. I ran in the woods calling out her name over and over until i caught up to her. i called her name one more time and she stopped. she turned around and looked at me. I stopped right in front of her catching my breath.

"Lexy, dont run away like that ever again."

"I'm sorry. It's... it's just that... i can't be in the same room with those people. They, they could have helped him Jonathas. they could have helped save my grandfather." she said.

i just stared at her and held her hand.

"He maybe gone but he's always watching over you. The only way you can help your grandfather right now is to find the person who killed him."

"He died because of us Jonathas." she said making me look at her curiously.

"He died because he was trying to help us, help you and Lee both with your curse. he found another way to lift the curse without my life being sacrificed." she explains making me feel a little guilt.

He died trying to save me and Lee. I feel responsible for his death.

"He... He told me that he hid the cure in his basement. He also said he wanted us to have something down there along with the cure." she added.

"Then we should be going. If your grandfather died because he found another cure, i think i know who did it."

"I think i have a hunch as well."

"Leaf." we both said in chorus.

"If Leaf knew about your grandfather finding a cure about me and Lee then he must also know about the location of where your grandfather hid it. We should hurry." I said and ran toward her grandfather's house.

Lexy's POV

I cant believe Leaf could be capable of doing this! Killing my own Grandfather. I never knew Leaf has a side like this. He wasnt the same person i grew up with, i dont even know him anymore.

We got to Grandfather's house which was just near our boundary. It was a old log cabin which was really creepy. I turned the door knob and it wasnt locked. we went in and everything was covered with while sheets. Every time we took a step, it would creek, like the floor was ganna fall any moment now. It looks like a hundred year old house. I saw a set of stairs going down leading down to the basement. We went down and it was just like it upstairs, white sheets everywhere. Then, i noticed a wooden bookshelf attached on the wall. I looked on the sides and there were hinges. I tried to pull it open but it was too heavy. Jonathas joined me and when it was out of the way, another door was there.

I twisted the door knob and it was locked. I pulled the key out that i got from Grandfather and it was unlocked. I opened the door and it was a replica of his office but there were some rectangular shapes leaning on the wall covered by white sheets. We went in and i looked around, until something caught my eye, my family portrait. The same one on dad's room. How, how did he get this portrait? I looked around and removed the white sheets, it was all pictures. Our family pictures, a portrait of everyone of us. Even mom and dad has one.

How could Grandfather have these pictures?

"May 23, 1991. My second grandchild was born. Lexy Moon, my precious baby girl." Jonathas read out loud from a small red book.

"It's your grandfather's journal." he said raising it.

A journal?

I walked over and took the book, reading it. 

May 23, 1991. 

My second grandchild was born. Lexy Moon, my precious baby girl. It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when Cassandra was rushed to the hospital, her water broke. It took about an hour or two before my grand daughter was delivered. A bouncing baby girl. If her grandmother was here, she would have been jumping in joy when she hears about a grand daughter. 

I was there, i was there when Lexy was born. Leo was outside the delivery room with Oliver who was about 2 that time, he inherited Leo's features. Leo saw me and asked with a smile on his face telling me about her, Lexy. Joy filled him as he told me every detail about her, you could see he was so proud and happy being a father again. 

But i just told him i was just passing by and didnt want to hear about Lexy anymore. His face fell, sadness and anger filled his eyes as he turned around and followed his wife in a private room. It broke my heart into small pieces as i watched my son walk away from me with anger. I wanted to tell him i was really there for them and for Lexy as well but i couldn't.

I went to see her, Lexy; my grand daughter. I even held her in my arms. she was asleep, but she suddenly opened those small eyes of hers and looked at me. A smile suddenly appear at my face and a tear fell. She was so small, so fragile yet so perfect in every way. She raised her hands up as if wanting to touch my face and want to wipe those tears away. just holding her, made me happy. Then i herd footsteps coming and Leo's voice. I hated to let her go, i really did. I pained me. Just for a little while, just a minute or two, i just want to hold her a little longer. I want her to call me grandfather. 

But if i stay a little more longer, Leo will arrive and see me. Believe me, i want to be with my family and all but being a part of the council means to stay away from our family and focus on our jobs. I wanted to leave the council and be with my family but Dimitri threatens to hurt them along with the pack. He says my ability was unique and are meant to serve as a part of the council. 

I placed Lexy back on her small bed and kissed her forehead good bye, Good bye for now that is. I'll be as close as possible.

A tear fell from my eyes as i reed it. He was there, the day i was born. He was there, My Grandfather was there. I flipped through the pages and they were all filled with memorable days of my life. My first words, my first birthday, the first time i walked, Oliver's birthdays and even events about Sasha and the pack. His wanting to be with us, his love for us that he cant show and his wantingness to be with us, to leave the council for us. every page was filled with high hopes that one day, we'll all be together as a family... but it would never happen now. Now that he's gone. I flipped through the last page when there were 2 letters enclosed. It had my name and Jonathas's on the envelopes.

"What's my name doing on that envelope?" Jonathas asked curiously as he took it. 

I places the book on the table and opened the envelope. Another Letter.

Dear Lexy;

by the time you are reading this, you are now in my basement and you've already reed my journal. every page, every word i've written there was true. If you only knew how much i wanted to be with you on those days, the days that were filled with love and joy. Now that i am gone, i want you to fulfill my last wish for you. 

I want you to be strong that no matter what happens, you'll stay strong. I know that i'm going to be killed because of what i have discovered. The cure for your son and your mate, Jonathas.I have found the witch that cursed Lucian, she's still here but i fear she'll already be gone when you'll meet her personally. I talked to her and there are two things you must do to lift the curse.

First, You have to kill Leaf.

You must kill him in order to save the entire werewolf community, that inclused you and your son. He will do anything, everything necessary for you to full be one, for you to mate. If that happens, the werewolf community- apart from the night walkers- will die. I know it might be hard to do this, to kill your best friend, to kill one of your mate, to kill someone who you once and might still love. But you have to do it. Leaf is no longer the person you grew up with. He is no longer the one you once loved. He's a monster, he's the one who killed me and... he killed your mother Lexy. He was the one who sent the rogues to attack your pack. 

Secondly, you have to kill someone Jonathas truly cares about. It pains me to give you such a big task my child.

The curse started when Lucian killed someone close, someone Alexandria truly cherish which is their own son, Joshua. In order to break the curse, you have to kill someone her cherish. A life for a life.

Now that i have helped you in a way, i can finally rest in peace. You've grown to be a strong woman, a strong Alpha and a strong mother Lexy, your mother must be very very proud of what have you've become. Continue to be a strong person Lexy. I am very, very proud to call you my grand daughter. I love you, and i'll always be with you no matter what.

Sincerely, 

Jerome.

Tears from my eyes fell like water falls. I'm both filled with joy and sadness. Joy because my grandfather is proud of me and helped me but sad as well because i have to kill someone close to Jonathas and most of all, i have to kill someone who i love, who i still cherish and who i once love.
