Loved - Anaya Phoenix (the mitten read aloud .TXT) 📗

really take her. That’s what the council does, whenever they see you with something you love they try to take it away. And since they already want her they would stop at nothing to take her from me. I can hear her soft snoring but I still rock her in my arms, like I used to, and whisper her name. cora see’s me doing this but just drapes a sheet over me and goes further into the den. Michael comes in almost right after that and leans down to pick Elizabeth up. I hold her closer to me and snarl at him, how dare he try to take my child away from me!
“stop it,” he says and I relax, its his child too and he would never do something to her. He’s not like my father, I let her go and he picks her up slowly so as not to wake her. But we both know that she’s like the dead when she’s sleeping. Just like me. I stand up and hear my joints pop and crack, I stretch and then fold the blanket up. Michael waits for me and when I’m done he takes my hand and we walk back to our den. Being that Michael is alpha we got the biggest den, which is about the size of a small cottage. Michael lays her down on a small air bed. She curls on her side and sucks her thumb, something I doubt she will ever be able to break. He takes my hand and leads me to the king size air bed that is ours. I get on slowly and lay on my side, he lays next to me and wraps his arm around my waist. He pulls me toward him until my back touches his abdomen, I relax a little and put my hand over the one that lays across stomach. Michael is asleep before I know it, I allow his scent, elizabeth’s scent, their light snoring and the nights air to drift me off to sleep.


Mommy loves me! She actually loves me, she hugged me and rocked me back in forth until I fell asleep. I woke up during the night and peeked at mommy and daddy, she looks so peaceful. Her eyes flutter open and they meet mine, she smiles and slowly takes daddy arm from around her. She waves me closer to her and I happily get up. Yay I get to sleep with mommy and daddy! I lay down next to her and she hugs me close to her, mommy always smells so good. Like water and earth and strawberries. I iwsh everything didn’t smell like strawberries but sometimes I think that’s how things really smell.
“I love you so much Elizabeth” she whispers in my hair
“I love you more” I giggle out,
“nuh uh”
“uh huh”
“nuh uh”
“uh huh”
“ok, girls I’m really tired so to settle this debate I love you both more than you can understand” daddy says. Her opnes his arm and hugs it around me and mommy, daddies arms are big. Mommy puts another arm around me and I get two hugs.
“goodnight Elizabeth” they both say, after that I hear a sucking sound and after that I hear daddies snore.
“goodnight mommy and daddy” I whisper softly and go to sleep.


Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that they patched things together, hell im ecstatic! But when I cant get any sleep I tend to take offense. They spent the rest of the night in my arms sleeping and snoring, sometimes I think I’m the onlyone that doesn’t snore. Sometime after that my wolf snapped to attention, only this time was weird, I didn’t wake up I just saw it.
“no matter where you hide, or how far you run, we will always find you. We will catch you and she will be ours” the words are hissed at me. My wolf takes immediate affect nd changes, right there on the bed with his mate and cub.


I knew there was something wrong when I heard growling but I just assumed Michael was just having another bad dream. Nothing prepared me for when he changed and nearly popped the air bed, Elizabeth springs up and her green eyes glow. She growls at the wolf and if you look close enough you see her canines have lengthened along with her nails. Michael growls back but looks ready to leap at her, he crouches down and raises his hackles. She snarls at him and her eyes start to swirl black, what the hell is he doing!? The wolfs face relaxes and so does elizabeths, at least for about 5 seconds,
“that doesn’t make any sense, your talking to me in a weird way”. She stops for another second and her face truly flares. Her eyes turn blacka dn she clenches her fists, the nails are digging into her palm and shes bleeding but she seems oblivious.
“I don’t care if you’re my alpha, I don’t care that you’re my dad right now you have no right to do that to me or mommy” her breath is starting to turn into blue mist. I know whats about to happen and I have to stop it, I start to mive but one look from the wolf keeps me glued. His eyes are amber, Michael is no longer there only his wolf. His wolf wouldn’t hurt her, right?


I don’t want to be mean and angry but daddy scared mommy. And that is not. Nice! I feel something stir around deep down inside me and my breath is starting to become a light blue. I don’t know whats happening but it feels good to be in power!
“Elizabeth, daughter, relax now or you’ll regret it” he tells me in my mind. His voice is all scratchy and it doesn’t sound like daddies voice at all.
“don’t you dare try to make me scared! Say sorry about scaring mommy” my breath is turning into a little blue ball.
“enough! Settle down right now!” the wolf growls at me and I growl back. I think I hear a little whine but then the wolf stands and growls at me. At first I’m scared but then something in my mind goes off and I scream at him. This is not my normal scream its about 10 times louder and higher, and it leaves daddy on the floor whining, when I scream I talk as well, it confuses me, but not for long im too busy screaming.
“say sorry to mommy or I will make it rain until you cant breathe!” after I finish I take a breath and try to calm down. Daddy calms down and changes into a man again, mommy wraps a cover around him and doesn’t look at me. Daddy doesn’t look at me either, he just keeps his head down, I fold my arms in front of me,
“sorry” I mumble and walk outside. Mommy probably doesn’t love me anymore, but she has too! I was trying to get daddy to be nice to her! She cant not love me anymore for that. But she probably does, theres no light but I don’t need it. I can see super well at night so I walk back to the little pond and put my feet in it. It calms me down but then I hear a hissing sound. I turn to see a cat. I’ve never seen one personally but one of the flash cards daddy has shown me it looks just like this. Daddy doesn’t like cats, I don’t think the wolf does either, but this cat looks pretty. I think it’s a he, and he has a jet black coat with streaks of blond through it. His eyes are sky vlue with little flecks of amber. He’s a little bigger than daddy says regular cats are, at least in height and his tail is flicking back and forth. But theirs something off about him, he smells like me. Like earth but not like water, like fur but not like dirt. Strange.
“hi there” I say to him softly, he purrs then eyes me for a minute longer then walks forward carefully. His body looks strong and agile, like a beautiful killer. He sits next to me and looks up, he looks at the dip in my arm and sniffs. His nose tickles, it’s wet and soft. His eyes widen as he looks up at me again, and if this were a fairy tale I would think he smiled. Like the one with alice and the chesser cat. He lays downa dn relaxes, I put my hand on his coat and he growls at me, but its softer than a growl. His coat isn’t madded and it isn’t stringy, but its somewhere in between. He looks up at me, the cool blue eyes unblinking, then as if he’s decided something he meows, stands up and then his body begins to change.


Whoa, what was that? I remember when alex did that to me when we first met, granted I almost touched her and she did not want to be touched. But wow that was something new. Of course that dream was pretty epic, but that gave him no right to be all pushy and controlling. He’s always pushy and controlling, but never when it came to Elizabeth. Now she’s out there probably thinking I don’t love her anymore, I don’t know what you expect me to do with her, he snaps at me, she’s just so touchy! She’s not touchy, I snap back at him, she’s a little girl who thinks her parents don’t love her. I feel him shrug it off and I want to slap him,but seeing as that will result in my own pain I just growl internally at him. Alexis a mess, she knows where Elizabeth is she just doesn’t know how to approach her, I want to help I really do but I feel she has to do this alone. That and when I tried to help her before she stared at me with balck eyes.
His wolf didn’t hurt her but he might as well told her to run away! God this is why I hated them so much, they always screw things up just because they could. Stupid tempers, and stupid short attention span and stupid… everything! Stupid, stupid everything! I’m trying to keep it together, to relax and take deep breaths. But on the first one I know something isn’t right, it smells weird, like fur and dirt and earth and… cat. That’s a weird smell, for a den full wolves. I take another breath and turn to Michael,
“do you smell that?” I ask cautiously, he takes a breath and stands up.
“it smells like a… cat” recognition crosses his face, then anger, then worry. And I suddenly realize why.


It’s a boy! It’s actually a bot, he’s older than me but not by much. He’s a cute boy with black hair, jet black not dark brown like johns but black. His eyes are just like the cat’s blue with little specks of amber. He has light freckles they aren’t heavy like mine, after he wets his hair and spikes it up he looks at me. He has clothes on, he’s not like daddy I wonder how he does that. He smiles, well it’s not a real smile it’s small and it’s only on his left side.
“hi” his voice is kind of scratchy but not like he’s sick it just scratchy, I want to smile back at him but something inside of me doesn’t want to. Something inside of me wants to growl at him and scratch and kill, but I don’t know why or what it is.
“hello,” I say slowly, my voice is so much squeakier than his. I don’t
