Chapter 50

Aziz

“Are you sure about this, woman?” I asked my mate, who was now wearing leggings and a sports bra for training. She insisted on this training because she didn’t want to be a burden. I had explained to her many times that she is not and will never be a burden to me and the pack.

“Yes, so you go back to your office and do your thing, Carter will help me,” she replied. As much as possible, I didn’t want her to get hurt. But if this training will make her feel comfortable and will be her way to help me and the pack, so be it. I didn’t want her to think that I was restricting her ability to grow physically.

I sighed before I looked at my gamma and said, “Carter, make sure that you will teach her only the basics and defenses and offenses that are suitable for humans.”

“I know Alpha,” he replied.

“Go now, Aziz. You’re not helping, Carter can take care of me and once I feel exhausted, I will be the one who will stop the training.”

“Make sure that you do. And make sure to wear your T-shirt.” I replied and kissed her on her forehead before I left them in the training hall. I told Carter not to let anyone use it while they were there because I didn’t want anyone to see her in her outfit. Though she looks decent, I still didn’t want anyone to see her in only her bra. Yes, for a human, it is natural for a woman to go to a gym wearing something like that, but she’s mine and I only want that for my eyes alone.

I went back to my office and started working. The mall that I owned was doing well. In fact, it is the number one mall in the country. But I admit that there were times that I faced some problems. The business didn’t always prosper. I faced challenges along the way and I was thankful that I managed to solve them not with ease, but I learned a lot.

Lexis, Athena and Hera were in my office already when I got in. I’m sure that they were waiting for me there for an hour. You see, I always had a hard time parting with Mica. She didn’t always want to come with me, so I had to be so clingy whenever I had a chance to be with her.

“How long are you going to act that way?” Hera said as I made my way to my desk.

“What?” I asked innocently, which made them roll their eyes at me.

“When you learn to accept and get marked by your mates, you will be able to understand me,” I replied, smiling.

“Ewww…” they all said, looking disgusted.

“Why are you acting like that? I was expecting you three to understand me more than anyone else.” I said,

“We just didn’t know that the fierce alpha we know was this soft,” Lexis said.

“So, you know me?” I asked.

“Of course! I am a rogue and I know a lot about packs and their alphas. Though I didn’t bother lurking around your border because I was busy, you know,” she answered.

“Anyway, we have to talk,” Hera said and we were all ears. “All the alphas and the betas agreed with us. They will definitely help us and are willing to be our allies. But they needed us to train their warriors as well. Reeves has already left for the Lunar Pack. Carter can’t go to another pack because he will have to take care of Luna. Who else are you planning on sending to Alpha Miller and Alpha Remos?”

“I have Cane. I’m confident that he will be able to do the task. I am going to assign him to the Meadow Pack since he had a mate. He will be able to come home daily. Lottie can manage their diner.” I replied,

“What about the Blue Moon Pack?” Athena asked. She was worried about her pack. I can sense that. “I promised my friend to help the pack on his behalf,” she added. We all looked at her. She was sad as if something was weighing on her.

“Do you want to go and train them?” I asked. Hera probably knew what was on her mind by now and I didn’t. But I know the gravity of making promises. I made a promise to my father as well and I did my best and still do my best to accomplish them.

“Will you let me?” she asked in a low voice. “I don’t want to leave here now and I want to help you defeat the vampire king. But I also had responsibilities for my pack, so I was torn between the two.”

“You don’t have to worry about us. As I already said, I don’t think that the vampire king will start his war against us this soon. He knows that we are all alive and he will be cautious,” I replied.

“What if he took the opportunity of my absence and he attacked your pack?” she asked, worriedly.

“Who would know that you’re not here?” I asked and she was confused.

“Yes,” Lexis said, “We don’t need to tell everyone that you are away and the Blue Moon Pack is not that far from here,” she added.

“If you want to train them, do it. I don’t have a wolf, but I have vampire abilities. As you already witnessed, I can deflect a few attacks. I don’t have any plans on leaving this pack as well, not until we end what we need to end.” Hera said,

“Since I am a rogue, I am not bound to any packs or alphas, I can be where I want to be. Just as I already said, I am going to stay here.” It was Lexis and we all laughed.

“You know you need to settle your issues with your mate as well.” Athena reminded her,

“It's not like I’m the only one here who has a problem with my mate,” she replied, raising a brow at them.

“Why do I feel like you are feeling proud that the three of you have the same problems? When Mica didn’t want to accept me, I was in so much pain and agony. Aren’t you feeling that way?” I asked curiously.

“We do.” Hera said, “But we just ignore it since we can’t do anything about it now. We will deal with them in time,” she added.

“We just don’t know about Lexis, who was torn between the Gamma she likes and the Beta that marked her,” Athena added.

I sighed, feeling thankful to the moon goddess that my problem with Mica was over. I don’t know what I would do if the vampire king had found out about her and she was still trying to escape from me and got caught by the vampires even before I caught her. I wonder how her training is going on now.
