Chapter 36

Aziz

Reeves was supposed to be staying within the Lunar Pack territory. He should not have been there for a visit but it turned out that way because of the vampires he and the warriors with him had encountered. They were supposed to just roam around in search of my sibling, though their mission was still accomplished, Hera and my new-found sibling will be going to the Lunar Pack, being the mates of their alpha and beta.

Seriously, just when I thought that everything was going according to plan, something like this came up. It’s not that I didn’t want my siblings to find their mates, but I just thought that it would be better if they could stay in my pack first, so we would be able to plan our attack on the vampires. I wanted to end this prophecy that prevented me and the others from being extremely happy.

We are at the pack house, in the alpha’s office. Hera was sitting beside me and so was Lexis. I had a feeling that something was going on, especially with Hera. She could read Alpha Dom’s mind and the way they looked at each other gave me an idea that one of them didn’t want to be with the other. “Alpha Dom, we came here to talk about what Reeves had called me for,” I said. “We can’t just go there and it might be a trap,” I added.

Dom looked at me and said, “We should at least have someone to look at it.”

“Yes, of course. I am going there with Hera, my beta and warriors and, of course, with Lexis.”

“Why do you need to bring my mate with you?” The lunar Pack’s beta asked. Though I could feel that he didn’t like the idea and he was pissed, I could feel that he was trying to be cautious as well.

“Together, we will be able to fight if the need arises. We had been fighting vampires and my warriors along with my beta and gamma had been training for a long time on how to take down a vampire. Since they brought you those 3 vampires, I believe that you agreed with me.”

“How are they able to fight and train against a vampire?”

“Because I trained them myself.” I answered, “I had vampire’s blood.” I added and the two looked at each other. “Since Hera and Lexis are my siblings, you can tell that they are too.” Then they both looked at their mates.

“Aziz, we have to go,” Hera said, suddenly. Reeves looked at me and I think he knew what I was thinking. Alpha Dom had said something on his mind that might have annoyed her. She’s a very calm and kind person, she managed to get Mica’s affection and I don’t think that she would ask me to leave for no reason.

“We still need to discuss the vampire that you are talking about. Why do I have this feeling that you are hiding something from us?” Alpha Dom said.

“We are not hiding anything. If you want to know something, you can ask us and we will answer.” I replied,

“How did you get the vampire’s blood?”

“Our mother was bitten by the vampire king when she was pregnant with us.”

“You’re triplets?” Beta Clint asked, shocked.

“Quadruplets, actually. Athena was left, looking after our pack along with my gamma. And we just found Lexis here.”

“You got separated?” Alpha Dom asked and I nodded.

“Are you willing to help us in fighting the vampire king?” I asked. His answer will depend on whether I will tell them everything or not.

“My pack had been dealing with vampire sightings for a week now and I had no idea why they suddenly came here and made their presence known to us. It was as if they were looking for something or they were waiting for us to do something. I don’t know. But after Reeves and I questioned those leeches, I was certain that they were up to something.” Alpha Dom replied,

“We had been uneasy and restless this last week because of them and I had been constantly on patrol to make sure that all necessary precautions were properly executed. We know that we have no chance of winning against a vampire unless we know when and how they are going to deal with us.” Clint said,

“And there’s no way that we will be able to know that. Our patrol guards were hiding while on duty. They can’t let the vampires know their presence either. If they catch us unprepared, I’m sure that they will be able to wipe us out.” Alpha Dom continued. “So yes, I am willing to help,” he added.

“Then let me tell you about how and why our mother had to die,” I replied and started telling them, including Lexis, about the past. The shock was all over their faces, they had never heard about the prophecy and the way Alpha Dom looked at me made me think that it was the first time that he had heard this. “Alpha Miller of the Meadow Pack had come to me, trying to form an alliance in defeating the vampire king. He knew about the prophecy and, just like yours, his pack has vampire sightings as well.” I added. Hera was not warning me or trying to stop me from telling him everything, so I guess it was safe to say that he did agree with me.

“I didn’t know that there was such a prophecy. Our elders didn’t tell me about it so I guess they know nothing about it as well. It would be bad if they knew it and decided to hide it from me, right?” Alpha Dom said before he looked at his Beta who was in the same state as he is.

“I suggest you conduct a meeting with your elders and other high-ranking officials while I and my pack members look into the place that those vampires had told you about. Then we will come back here to inform you about what we have found out and to discuss our plan if ever.” I said,

Alpha Dom massaged his temple and I could already see him being unrestful for the days to come. And then Hera, I’m sure that they were mates. I could feel it, there was something going on between them. Alpha Dom wouldn’t be able to hide anything from her but she could.

“Alright, let’s do what you suggest. But let me talk to your sister first,” he said after a while. I looked at Hera and I couldn’t see any reaction from her.

‘I will talk to him,’ she said through my mind.

“Alright, we will be waiting for her,” I replied since my sister agreed to it.

“I need to talk to my mate as well,” Clint said,

“No, I don’t want to talk to him,” Lexis said, and we looked at her.

“Why not?” the beta asked, annoyed.

“Simply because I didn’t want to. Do I need to have a reason for not liking something?” she replied,

“Of course!” Clint exclaimed.

“Then I will tell you because I don’t like a mate. I don’t need a mate and I don’t like you as my mate.”

“Lexis!” I exclaimed. I saw pain on the beta’s face and I somehow felt his pain. That is how Mica talked to me before and the pain was unbearable.

“You have no right over me, you are not my alpha, and how can I be sure that you are my brother? I don't see any resemblance,” she replied,

“Look at Hera and tell me that she’s not your sister,” I said, controlling my anger.

“She may be my sister, but not you.”

“He’s our brother, Lexis. You have to accept that now. And I already know that you are lurking around here because of the vampire as well. You had been trying to find out about their king.” Hera said in an authoritative tone and, somehow, Lexis listened to her. Is she older than her? Why wouldn’t she listen to me then, I’m younger than her.

“Whatever, talk to your mate first while Hera is talking to her mate as well. Make sure that you two settle everything. We didn’t want the pack to become vulnerable because of your unsettled business with them.” I said before I got up from my seat. “Let’s go, Reeves.” Then he stood up as well and followed me out of the alpha’s office.

“Do you think they will be able to accept each other?” Reeves asked, “Why did you need to have the same problems with your mates?” he added. We decided to stay in the living room and before I could reply to him, the pack’s gamma approached us.

“Alpha, Beta,” he greeted. “I am Sean, the pack’s gamma. Alpha Dom told me to attend to your needs,” he added.

“We’re fine, you don’t have to worry about us,” I replied, smiling.

“You should think about your beta and Alpha upstairs.” Reeves said, then we started to talk about their pack and the problems they were facing.

Sean was telling us about their last encounter with a vampire when Hera talked to me in my mind, ‘Aziz, look for Lexis, now!’

“Reeves, let’s find Lexis,” I told my beta and he nodded. We never saw her and Clint going down, so they must be upstairs.

“Where is Clint’s room?” I asked Sean,

“On the second floor,” he replied,

“Lead us,” I said and rushed there.

We were almost in the room where I could smell and feel my sister when someone was thrown out of the room without the door being opened. “Clint!” Sean shouted and rushed to him, then Lexis came out,

“How dare you mark me without my permission!” she exclaimed, so I got mad as well and was about to rush and give Clint a beating when Hera came and said

“Stop Aziz!” So I did. Just what was going on?
