Chapter 27
Aziz
I felt that I disappointed her. I didn’t know that she was that man’s family. Dad was feeling sad about what had happened. He tried to save him because he knew that he was a human and couldn’t fight to save himself. Now, I have an additional grudge against those vampires. I asked Reeves to find his family after I assumed the title. Dad wanted me to help them because he knew that he had someone who relied on him.
Now that I found out that Mica was his daughter, I don’t know what I am going to do. I was glad that I had found Athena and yet another problem with my mate arose. She had not trusted me because of the blood that runs in my veins and another cause of her anger was exposed. Athena was sharp too. She knew that my mate was the human I talked about. I wonder if she will be able to get along with Mica like Hera. I hope the two will be able to get her affection and that may lead her to forgive me.
“Where is she?” Reeves asked as he burst into my office. I looked at the warrior and nodded at him, meaning to dismiss him. He bowed his head to me and then to Reeves before he left.
“Who are you looking for?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
“My mate, where’s my mate?”
“Did you smell her here?” I asked again, trying to tease him.
“I never thought that you'd be going to be my brother-in-law,” he said, grinning.
“Don’t be too sure about that.”
“Why?”
“She hates the fact that you’re a beta. To be precise, you’re my beta. That is after she found out that I fu***d one of their warriors and she thought that we’re both the same.”
“No way! I am nowhere near you!” he exclaimed. How dare this bastard suddenly want to come clean? My problem with Mica was momentarily set aside because of this idiot. I’m not saying that I am not thinking about her anymore. It’s just I feel so tired of everything and finding her now is very untimely.
The moon goddess didn’t hear my plea and gave her to me when I needed to concentrate on something I thought was the most important thing, to end the vampires. “I don’t have time to hear your whining if you want to see her go. She’s with Hera. That is if you can take her away from her.” I informed him. He sat on the table in front of me and with a worried look he asked,
“Is it about Luna?” I nodded my head and he sighed. “I can’t help you with her and I know how impatient you are. Please do not look into her stubbornness and act recklessly. She’s our Luna and we need her just like we need your siblings.”
I know that more than anyone else. But he was right. I am very impatient and I know how other packs were scared of me. I can’t blame them though, even Remos, who was way older than me, was very cautious and couldn’t raise his voice. They could feel that I am stronger than them and that they won’t be able to win against me. Just like with Athena, he relied on her and was planning on caging her in his pack. Luckily, she was mated to this idiot in front of me. If not, I don’t know how I am going to take her away from him, especially when she made a promise to bring her mate there.
“Her father was the human who accidentally died during our fight with the vampire when dad was still the alpha,” I told him,
“And?” he asked,
“She just found out about it,” I said in a low voice.
“How?”
“Mari and I were talking here about it and he just told me that he was Mica’s father. Unfortunately, she was there and heard everything. She confronted me and I saw the pain in her face.”
“What is she doing here this early in the morning?”
“I don’t know either. She was just there and I was shocked too. I never felt her anger. I usually felt it but earlier, there was none. Not until Mari reported to me about that human.”
“Then, she must have something to tell you,” he replied. I looked at him and realized that she looked disappointed and was in so much pain. Is she going to talk to me about us? Because of that, I got up and went to her and Hera’s room hoping I’d find her there. She wasn’t allowed to roam around without someone with her, so she would only be there and nowhere else.
Without thinking, I opened the door, “Goddess!!” Hera and Athena exclaimed at the same time,
“Where is Mica?”
“She wasn’t here when I woke up,” Hera answered.
“And she wasn’t there when I came in,” Athena replied,
“Mine, all mine!” Reeves said, who was now behind me looking at my sister. I rolled my eyes at them and Hera looked happy for them.
“Come on, Aziz, and find Mica. Let these two talk,” she said and pulled me out of their room.
“So, what happened?” she asked and I told her everything, then she told me that she had talked to Mica last night and she had a feeling that it was the reason why she had come to my office. I felt regretful that she was planning on talking with me already and yet I lost that chance. “She will understand it in time. For now, just let her be. You know that her parents were her weakness, so you have to be understanding with her.” she said after.
There was nothing I could do but to do as she said. At least I know that she was willing to talk things out and that is a good sign. She won’t be able to leave the pack, so it would be fine if I just let her. Anyway, she needed it. It was hard for her to know that her mate’s pack had made a contribution to her father’s death. When she calms down, I am going to talk to her and explain to her what happened. I just hope that she will listen to me soon.
I went back to my office and Hera went to see her. She will look after her and when Reeves and Athena are done talking, she will surely pull her to meet my mate. I’m glad that one of my sisters was very sensible. It must be because she doesn’t have a wolf that could make her aggressive.
Keeping myself busy was very difficult as my mind was occupied by Mica from time to time. But I had to deal with the pack’s business as well and because it was the first time that I felt something towards a woman other than having sex with them, I still needed to make some adjustments.
A knock on the door got me out of my deep thoughts. “Come in,” I said and came in my beta and Athena, who looked really angry. Now, what are their problems?
“I am going back to the Blue Moon Pack,” she said, as I looked at Reeves, whose face could not be painted by a thousand painters too.
“What’s going on?” I asked, trying to be patient. I had to deal with my mates too, and here they are making me worry about them too.
“Don’t look at me,” Reeves replied,
“So it’s my fault now?”
“I am not going to your pack,” he said. It seems that my Athena was asking him to go with her.
“I am not forcing you.”
“But you didn’t want to stay here, either.”
“Stop you two.” Then they looked at me. “Whatever it is that you are arguing about, you have to deal with it yourself. I had my own problems and yours is not helping me at all.” I continued, “Athena before you decide to leave, I had to talk to you about something. I don’t care whether you accept my beta or not, but we have to discuss our common enemy, the vampires.”
Reeves and Athena took their seats away from each other, ready to listen to me. My beta knew what I was going to say, but because his mate was here, he would never leave her. His wolf will never let him. I decided to call Hera and Mica so I would only need to tell them everything all at once and so that my mate would understand.
‘I couldn’t find Mica,’ Hera said in our minds.
“Where the hell is she?’ I asked, but before she could reply, a mind link from the patrol guards forcefully got in,
‘Alpha, a vampire in sight.’
‘Shit!’
