Chapter 38

MILA

As we get closer, I can see the man who looked after me my whole life, George. He seemed to have aged more lately, his black short hair and green eyes turn bright as he sees us. I can’t help but run towards him and into his outstretched arms. His mint scent hitting nose as soon as I'm in his hold.

“Mila, you are save” he sighs and looks towards Archer with a big smile on his face “And you my old friend, you haven’t aged a day.”

“Hello too old friend, I have to admit, you have aged a lot” they both start laughing. I let go of George and the both men hug each other. I look behind George to see Sybil, Alpha Leon and Luna Sophie looking on with smiles on their faces. I run up to Sybil and hugged her. Her lavender smell is still refreshing as the day I meet her, calming my nerves. She smiles. “Mila, I am so happy you are back” she says smiling giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I smile back, turn towards Alpha Leon and Luna Sophie “I’m sorry for running away like that, I didn’t know what was happening to me. I would like to introduce you to Archer my guardian” I say turning towards Archer and George, Sybil has joined in the hugs as she leaves Archers embrace. Archer smiles at them “It’s an honor to meet you both, Alpha and Luna.”

I turn and look at the Luna who is staring at me “I have my memories back” I say to her “I remember my mother, Faith, she used to talk about you Luna all the time.”

She looks at me and smiles as a tear slides down her face “That’s good my dear, I'm so happy that we now all know the truth.”

I look towards the pack house and then look around wondering where Emily and Dane where but more importantly my mate. Archer and George look at me, grinning “He has gone to get some members from another pack with Emily and Dane” George says with a smirk.

I looked at him and blush but I didn’t say anything. I can feel everyone looking at me. I bet their faces say a lot.

“They are amused but happy we want to see our mate” says Sapphire standing to attention in my mind “I'm on the lookout Mila, I will tell you when he comes.”

“Let’s get back to the pack house, there are a few members that would like to see you Mila” says Alpha Leon with a warm smile.

We all walk together, I'm walking alongside Alpha Leon while the others are talking to Archer behind “Mila, I want to apologize for my behavior when you come here” says Alpha Leon.

I look up at him and wonder what he was on about, he’s an Alpha, he shouldn’t be apologizing to me.

“He is apologizing to you about being power hungry and wanted you to help his pack. His wolf just apologized to me too. He said, mate told him that he will win us back himself but it is our choice not anyone else’s” Sapphire says smiling.

“Thank you Alpha Leon, its ok” I say with a smile knowing how hard it is for an Alpha to apologize to anyone.

He smiles and walks on.

All of a sudden, someone is calling my name “MILA, MILA” I look up and see Sam running towards me with Margo, Barry and Gerald following behind.

Sam runs straight into me, giving me a big hug “I'm so happy you are back” he says. I smile “It’s good to be back.”

Not letting me go but he looks up “Your wolf is big and beautiful, but she is totally different with different colour eyes” I look at him confused until I hear Archer in my head “When you shifted to meet me, our combine power made your eyes change when we called out to you.”

I looked at him in shock but recovered quickly “Thank you Sam, my wolf is the best, Sapphire is her name.”

“Well she is pretty and strong” he says still holding onto me, making sure I never leave.

“He is a sweet pup” says Sapphire feeling the love from Sam.

I say hello and greet a few other members. I even get introduced to a few pack members. All of a sudden, five big cars come into view. They all park up; Emily opens the door and runs straight to me, running straight into my arms. She has happy tears “I've missed you sister” she says with a shaky voice “He has been lost without you, you should give him a chance” she says in a whisper.

I know instantly who she is talking about, his intoxicating scent is strong and it is sending shivers down my spine.

I look up and let go of Emily, I start to walk towards Nate. There is only a foot between us when we get closer to one another. I can see him fighting with himself. I look at him closely, his slick black hair and them gorgeous blue eyes staring at me. His mouth looks so good, I want to kiss him so bad, wow hang on, I shouldn’t be thinking like this.

I can hear giggling in my head.

Before I can say anything, Nate speaks “Mila, I’m sorry for everything I put you through. I wouldn’t have done anything to hurt you if I knew you were my mate” there were a few gasps but he carries on “I fell for you for the moment I set my eyes on you, I wanted you to know that. I wanted to know everything about everything and I want to make it up to you and I hope you will let me.”

I look up at him, “Nate, you hurt me but I have been thinking about us, you, but I had some advice from someone” I turn to see Archer who is standing next to me and I can’t help but smile at him, but I turn back to Nate “People have pasts and they have to learn from them, but it is what we plan for the future is important and who I want in my future.”

“Who do you want in your future Mila?” He asks as he closes the extra step closer to me, there is no space between us now, I stare up at him and I can’t help but look up. He holds my hands in his and I can feel the sparks of the bond between us ignite, I can’t help but blush and I take gulp as he carries “Mila, please answer me” he asks with sexy husky tone.

I look around and soon realize that we have a crowd of people looking at us, in awe. Some are in shock that we actually admitted that we are mates and some I can feel are happy for us. I blush hard.

I don’t want anyone to hear this, so I go onto my tiptoes and whisper in his ear, I can’t help but breathe on his cheek. He smells so good, I can feel wet in between my legs. “I want to forgive you, I want you” I whisper, I move my head slowly, he kisses my cheek as I go back. I can’t help but go red.

Sapphire is happy; I can feel her in my head “Mate is happy, his wolf is excited. He wants to mate us” she says smirking.

“AHH, too much information Sapphire, we taking it slow, ok” I say.

She is laughing in my head “I know Mila, I want our mate too. His wolf is a horny dog.”

I can’t help but go even redder but feeling a little more confident, I take his hand in mine. The sparks are so intense between us, it is making it harder for me to concentrate but I remember and sense Archer is still by me, I turn to him who has the biggest grin on his face “This is Archer, my guardian” I say with a big smile on my face “Archer is this Nathaniel, my mate.”

Archer stretches out his hand to shake Nate’s hand, Nate seems happy and smiles back at him “I think we should go in the pack house” he says.

We all turn and walk.

There is a group of people standing on top of the steps with Alpha Leon and Luna Sophie but someone has his back to us as we walk towards the pack house.

“Ah, we are all here, Miles I would like you to meet Mila and Archer, you already met my son Nathaniel” says Alpha Leon, looking at us with a big smile. I think he realizes that I'm giving Nathaniel a chance.

The man turns around and smiles but it is turned into shock as he looks at me. I look at him in confusion, what the hell is his problem? He’s frozen to the spot and not moving.

“Miles, Are you ok?” says a young woman who is holding his hand looking concerned.

Suddenly like he remembers where he is, he sticks out his hand to shake my hand “Nice to meet you, I have to ask, have we met before? You seem really familiar to me.”

I shake my head “Nice to meet you too, no I've lived here all my life” giving him a pleasant smile back and trying to figure out what his problem was.

“Well, let’s all go inside and in the office I think, we can all discuss what the plan is about this war we are supposed to be having?” says Alpha Leon.

We all turn around and head in. Miles still staring at me; I start to feel uncomfortable. Nate looks at me and holds my hand tight and leads me in.
