Chapter 25

Aziz

“Welcome back, Alpha Aziz.” Remos, the alpha, said as we entered his office. Rachel was there too, smiling like an idiot, it seemed that the Alpha had not reprimanded her at all, since I could smell him on her. “I was wondering why you keep on coming back without any valid reason,” he said,

“I was looking for someone,” I told him,

“And she’s not this warrior beside me?” he asked,

“No, I am not looking for a w***e,” I answered,

“Alpha Aziz!” Remos exclaimed.

“Why? Am I wrong?” I asked again,

“Alpha,” Cane said, trying to remind me where we were. Why do I have to bring him with me when I know that he is very sensible?

“I don’t think you are in the position to tell that to my warrior,” Remos said angrily.

“I don’t care about her, she’s not the reason why I came here. And you know what kind of woman she is. You just fu***d her when you had a mate who happened to be her Luna. So don’t and never tell me whether I am in a position or not.”

“We didn’t!” Remos said, still trying to hide their relationship.

“You can’t hide anything from me, I even know that she’s pregnant. To whose pups, I don’t know.” I told him and they looked at each other. “Congratulations in advance if it was yours though.”

“No, I am not pregnant,” Rachel said as Remos glared at her.

“Anyway, you two argue about it while I roam around your pack, you can ask one of your warriors to come to me if you want,” I said before I got up from my seat and so did Cane and Carter, who were both holding their laughter. “Oh, you don’t need to think about me because I don’t meddle in someone else’s affair and as long as my request was granted,” I added, looking at him and then at the she-wolf. I hope he understands that I want that bitch to be punished for what she did to my mate.

We were outside the pack house when two warriors approached us. “Alpha Remos told us to assist you.” one of them said, and I nodded, hoping they would be able to keep up with my pace. I already knew where we were going and it was a little far, so I had to move fast.

“We can use the car if you want to,” the other one said, and I looked at him and then at both Cane and Carter.

“That will be good,” I replied and let the warriors lead the way to one of the pack’s cars and started driving. The two were very attentive and were explaining to us about their pack. They’re like tourist guides if you ask me.

“When we entered the pack’s border, there were two roads. The right one was going this way and the other one is, I don't know, but I want to go there.” I told them and they nodded.

“That leads to the training ground as well. We can go this way.” one of the warriors said, and he was the one driving.

“Are there warriors who are in training now?” I asked, curiously.

“No, but Athena always stays there even if no one wants to spar with her,” the one in the passenger seat said. When I heard that name, I was certain that she was one of my siblings. I mind linking both Cane and Carter and informing them about it.

“She must be really strong,” Carter commented.

“She is, that’s why some of us didn’t want to be matched with her in a sparring session since she is full of stamina and endurance. She’s quite fast too, I mean a lot faster than our Alpha. Everyone here knows that, so I am not exaggerating things.”

I feel proud of her and I was looking forward to seeing her and bringing her back home. I just hope that she’s easy to persuade, just like Hera. Though, judging by what the warriors said, she might be as stubborn as my mate. After a few minutes, we were already driving on a rough road exactly the same as the one we had gone on. Then, I saw a big ground and found a woman in the middle. The warrior stopped the car and we got out, my eyes on her as I walked closer to her. She turned around and yelled,

“Mine!!!!” Wait, what? Whose hers? Then I saw her walking and meeting us halfway. She stopped and looked at Cane, Carter and me. She sniffed the three of us and shook her head.

“Where is he?” she asked,

“Who?” I asked too.

“My mate, where is he? The three of you had his scent,” she answered, and relief flooded over me. It appears that I don’t need to persuade her since one of my pack members was her mate. But who? I looked at both Cane and Carter.

“I only talked to Reeves before we left,” he said, and that’s it. It was my beta who she smelled.

“I guess your mate is my beta,” I told her and she cringed her nose, so I chuckled.

“A beta, an arrogant creature,” she said. Now that will be a problem. What if she doesn’t want to come with us because of him? “Why do you smell familiar?” she added.

“I can explain that to you if you come to my pack.” I said, “I’m Aziz, alpha of the Dark Blood Pack. This is Carter, my Gamma and Cane, my finest warrior.”

“You know that I won’t have a choice but to come to you,” she replied and looked at the two warriors who were with us.

“Where’s Alpha Remos?” she asked them.

“He’s in his office,” I said. I don’t know if the two had any idea about it since they were just mind-linked to coming with us.

“Come with me then,” she said, and then we went back to the pack house. She knocked on the door before we entered and found Rachel was still there. She was crying on her knees. “Oh, I was wondering why I never saw you around, it was because you’re here, again, bitch.” my sister said.

“Watch your mouth, Athena,” Remos said,

“Why would I? She’s really a bitch, she doesn’t have a boyfriend or a mate and yet she’s pregnant.”

“She’s pregnant?” Carter asked her. Because I already said it earlier, she just confirmed it.

“Yes. I could even hear the pups' heartbeat,” she replied before she looked at her alpha. “Are you the father?” she asked and Remos' eyes widened.

“Of course not!” he exclaimed, and I saw Athena’s face distorted.

“You see? You should not have rejected your mate for fu** just because he is your alpha. He will never leave Luna because he will eventually lose his title as well. That’s how the elders wanted it because they like Luna Mari and she’s the best Luna this pack ever had.” she told Rachel, who was still crying.

“Why are you here, Athena?” Remos finally asked.

“I am going to go with them,” she replied, “My mate is in their pack.”

“What do you mean?”

“I smelled my mate’s scent on them. I want to see him.”

“And you will come back, yes?”

“I don’t think so.”

“What do you mean, you don't think so? You said that you'd make your mate stay here when you find him!” Remos exclaimed,

“The only problem is that my mate might be a beta from his pack.” Remos was speechless. He knew that my sister would never have a chance to make Reeves come to her in his pack. He already had his beta and there’s no way that he is going to remove him from his position so my beta could fill in.

“How can you be so sure that it was the beta?” Remos still asked,

“That’s why I want to go with them now. I want to know as well. If he wasn’t then, as I promised, I was going to try to make him come to me here.” she answered.

“Why are you so persistent in making her stay in this pack? You know very well that she-wolves have to come to their mates no matter what,” I told him.

“You don’t understand, lately, our pack has been attacked by a vampire. Though no one was hurt, I‘m still worried about the safety of the pack.”

“What does that have to do with Athena?”

“She’s fast and managed to kill one of them. She’s on par with their speed, which you already know. Our wolves were much slower than them.”

“Then train your warriors.”

“That’s the main reason why I sent her to the Crimson Pack, to train and train her fellow warriors once she comes home. But you are here, trying to take her away from the pack with warriors and pack members who were expecting to be taught by her.”

“I see, so Alpha Miller has not come to your pack just yet.” I told him, “Then let me tell you this, he was planning on making an alliance to fight the vampires and I agree with him. If you are interested, you can ask him the full details once he’s here.” I continued, “But for now, I need to take her to my pack.” I added.

The alpha couldn’t do anything about it. He knew that I had a point and he had no right to stop Athena from coming to her mate. We are not the ones who claimed her as ours, it was her who smelled and scented her mate to us. “Alpha, I wanted to punish the one who hurt the human in my pack,” I told him in a serious tone so he would get my point.

We traveled back to the pack and we were sitting in the back. “The human is your mate?” Athena asked, she’s my sibling.

“You don’t need to ask if you already knew,” I told her,

“And yet you fu** that bitch!” she said,

“It’s free,” I replied,

“Men,” she said and then faced me, “Don’t tell me that whoever my mate is, has the same belief as yours,” she added, and I just shrugged my shoulders. I have no comment on that but Cane and Carter were both laughing.

“Oh, hell!” she exclaimed.
