Chapter 42
Aziz
“Alpha Dom, I need to go back to my pack. I am going to think about your request and would probably send someone to discuss my decision. Rest assured that I am going to consider everything.” I said,
“My pack’s defense is really low and I was always worried about the patrol borders on duty. I know that they were feeling scared since they knew that vampires are our formidable opponents. We are not used to fighting them, if our enemies were just like us, I wouldn’t worry about it. I could train them myself. But vampires are another thing,” he replied.
I understand him. For an Alpha, the well-being of his pack and members are at stake, so it was natural for him to feel this desperate. As soon as we arrived in his pack, I talked to him and informed him of what we thought the vampires were planning and here he was asking me to train his warriors and fighters.
As much as possible, I wanted them to learn how to deal with vampires. But I had no time right now and I had to think of someone I could send in his pack to do the work. I trust my warriors and fighters but I don’t think that they will agree instantly if I will tell them to come there.
“Hera, can you stay behind?” I asked,
“No,” she replied firmly.
“But you are our Luna!” Clint and Sean exclaimed.
“Says who?” my sister asked, and the two looked at their alpha.
“Hera,” I said, trying to make her understand that she was needed here.
“Now that you and Mica are OK, you don’t want me in your pack anymore?” she asked, raising a brow at me.
“Of course not!” I exclaimed, “I’m sure that she will be looking for you when I return without you, but you have to understand that we have our certain tasks and roles. You know that you are mated to Alpha Dom. Why don’t you just try to stay here and work things out with him?”
“No, he is nothing like you. He doesn’t like me because I am an omega and thought that I was of no use in his pack. Why would I choose to stay here? I am done being neglected and even if he is my mate, I don’t think that I am going to turn to my old self, pleasing everyone, pleasing him simply because he’s my mate.” I started to get a headache so I looked at Alpha Dom.
“Are you sure that you didn’t want my sister as your mate?” I asked and he didn’t answer, “Then reject her now.” I commanded.
“You are not in the position to tell me what to do!” Alpha Dom shouted.
“And you have no right to cage her in a bond that you don’t want to fulfill!” I shouted back. “She’s my sister and, above all, her well-being is my primary concern. If you don't have the balls to claim her thinking she will only be a burden to you, then reject her now.” I added.
“You don’t understand,” Alpha Dom said,
“Yes, I don’t. But I know one thing, your mate is the moon goddess’s gift to you. Whether you accept her or not is still up to you. But let me remind you that the mate bond is sacred. You just don’t ignore my sister just because you think she’s weak. You don’t know her at all.”
“Alpha, what if I stayed here for a few days?” Reeves asked, “My mission would have ended in a week and it was still early. I will make sure to be in the pack for Luna's ceremony.” he added.
“What about Athena?” I asked him and he sighed.
“I think she doesn't want to see me yet, so I will just give her time to think,” he replied,
“Just so you know,” Hera said, “She was planning on leaving the pack as soon as we were back. She wanted to go back to the Blue Moon Pack and train their warriors,” she added, which made his eyes widen.
“Seriously, Alpha, what’s wrong with your siblings?” he complained.
“There’s nothing wrong with me!” Hera exclaimed,
“Yeah, I’m sorry about that. Except you.” my beta replied.
“Let’s finish the discussion already,” I said,
“Why don’t we rest for a while? Let’s have a break.” Sean said, “I know that you are all tired because of the fights with the vampires earlier, so having a meal will ease the tension and we will be able to think of a possible solution to our problems.” he added, and I agree.
We went out of the alpha’s office and had our meals, then I called Carter. I missed Mica so much and I wanted to at least hear her voice. My gamma informed me that she had not eaten her lunch, so I was worried. I think she missed me so I couldn’t help but smile.
While talking to her, I could feel her emotion and I was glad that we felt the same. Now, I want to go back. She was saying the opposite of how she feels but she’s my mate, so I know her even if we only had been together for a very short time. “Woman, you have to eat while I’m away because I am going to fu** you without rest once I come back,” I told her and I could already see her face blushing.
Because of our conversation, I became more eager to go back. I rushed back to the alpha’s office and considered Reeves’s suggestion. Though he was worried that Athena might leave the pack when he was still there, I promised him that I was going to try my best to make her stay until Luna's ceremony.
So, Hera and Lexis rushed back to my pack and left Reeves with the warriors with him. My new-found sister was excited to meet my mate as well, so she didn’t let her mate stop her from coming with us. I feel sorry for both Clint and Dom though. But they had to think about their situation while these two sisters of mine were away.
In the Dark Blood Pack, everyone was in slumber but my warriors and patrols on duty were wide awake. They greeted us as we passed the border and in the pack house, I let Hera send Lexis to her bedroom. We will just talk in the morning. For now, I wanted to be with my mate already.
Mica was sleeping when I entered our bedroom. It was dark, but I could see her. Wolf and vampire’s perks. I kissed her on her forehead before I went to the bathroom and took a bath, then watched her in her sleep. I had no intention of waking her up but I’m glad that she felt my presence and ended up opening her eyes and making my day.
We made love and that’s when I realized how much I missed her. From now on, I am not going anywhere without her. I will make sure to bring her along with me in the future. Especially when we have already killed the vampire king.
