James's companion

James's companion
Noah

In the afternoon, Natsuke and Mateo arrived with Rubem and César. The two boys were one year apart, but it was barely noticeable. We could only tell the difference between the boys because Rubem and César both have black hair, but the older one has green eyes and the younger one has blue eyes. In the car behind were Bella and John with little Rosana, a cute baby with black eyes and hair as black as the night. An inheritance from John's grandparents.
The children were excited with their cousins ​​and the grandparents were all joy.
In the evening, James and his companion Sophia were expected for dinner and Rebeca, Natsuke and Bella were anxious to meet the wolf who would be the luna of our Canadian pack.
As soon as James arrived he honked at us and we all went to the castle door to welcome them. I saw my brother looking a little older. Being an alpha was not easy at all, although everyone thought it was great. He got out of the car and opened the door for his companion. A tall, thin woman with medium-length brown hair and whiskey-colored brown eyes smiled shyly at us. Sophia was pretty, but she had a mark on her forehead, near her eyebrow. It was probably a wound made with silver or something that prevented her from healing completely. This saddened us all, but we tried to hide it. Everyone hugged them both. The girls took Sophia to meet her nephews and went to talk about Luna's ceremony. I quickly pulled James aside. I wanted to know if he was happy and if he needed any help. I also wanted to know what had happened to Sophia. “Noah. We're fine, all the boys sent you their regards, they miss the alpha and the captain. They always talk about you playing one last game with them.” We laughed. “James, I would really like to, but... don't tell anyone, another cub is coming and I don't dare travel and leave Beca alone with these kids. They're too mischievous and quarrelsome!” I said. “They took her father and uncles,” he said.
“What happened to Sophia? Why does she have that mark?” “Brother, long story, a sick and possessive first mate. She only found peace when I killed him. The son of a bitch betrayed her and still wanted her to accept his lover. Sophia was strong enough to run away from him, reject him, but he caught her and attacked her with a silver knife. He was a beta of a small pack in the mountains. She asked for a pack transfer, her alpha called me asking, he told me a little of the story and told me he was going to expel the guy. But she didn't want to stay there, because his family was influential. So, I accepted her. It was love at first sight, I'm her second chance mate, but when I heard the story, how he beat her and threatened her, I hunted him down among the rogues and arranged a duel with him, in case he didn't accept her rejection. The idiot tried to hit me with the same silver knife that hurt her and I slit his throat.”
I sighed. Was this my younger brother? James had certainly grown up and matured. It was good to have him here.
"It wasn't easy to gain her trust. She didn't want to know about any man anymore. I spent three months just looking at her, without being able to get her to say anything more to me than yes or no. The goddess knows I almost went crazy. I had to get away from all the wolves, you know I was a womanizer, but I just couldn't be with any more women. I wasn't interested.
After that, I got her a job at the pack house, so I could see her more. I managed to talk to her a little, we became friends. I came back injured from a chase against rogues and she took care of me. It seems the goddess gave me the injuries so we could get closer, we discovered that she is a natural healer. Today she works at the hospital. I want her to study medicine, she is convincing herself that she can do it. That son of a bitch took a lot of her confidence, but I am helping her feel safe and discover her full potential. We will have our ceremony soon, the whole pack loves her. And her hobby is helping out at school, she loves doing magic for the little ones. You can imagine how much the kids like her, right?"
I saw that my brother was telling me everything to get my approval. "You know James, I believe you are the best alpha your pack could have. You have grown a lot, brother, your luna has transformed you too, I'm sure you two complement each other. And I bless you.". My brother hugged me and sighed deeply. "That's really good to know, brother."

“Now tell me about Robert and Liam, how are they?” James smiled. Robert, quiet as always, is serious and in love with a human, a librarian, and doesn’t stop reading. And Liam is playing hockey, he won’t be caught so easily. He’s always traveling.”
“Who’s always traveling? We never did that anymore, right?” Mateo appeared smiling, John right behind him. “Liam, of course, our youngest,” James replied. “John had a good time when he was young, didn’t he?” “Let’s drink, boys, now that’s all we have left!” I said. And we went laughing like fools to the bar.
