VICTOR'S P. O. V.
I am so sick of paperwork. Why couldn't I be the one on babysitting duty. Not that she is even close to a baby. I would still love to be in a room alone with her right now. I know we can't do anything really right now. But I have lost so much time with her. I think back to when I had her alone in her house. The thoughts alone send my body reeling. I wish I had more time like that.
I am finding it hard to focus on my paperwork when I think about her. I really need to get a grip. Then I hear the clearing of a throat behind me.
I turn and see none other than my father. "Can I help you, sir?" Even though I am still really pissed at him I still have to address him with respect.
"I have come to apologize." I am filled with absolute shock. Hell must have frozen over. "I know I am not a good person to talk to sometimes. I know that when you were younger I pushed that girl away. I told you that you could never make her Luna. I just want you to know that I was wrong. I have talked to some of the other wolves, the older ones of course. The younger ones were too busy spreading rumors about her to even come close to the truth. They all said that she is a remarkable Omega."
"Yeah, she is."
"I also heard what happened with that Hector fellow. She got stronger after the rejection. Most wolves would have gotten weak. So weak that they are worthless. But not her. She is really a fantastic wolf that I am proud to have in my pack. I know I told you to push her away but obviously I was wrong. I mean, the mate that you were supposed to have tried to kill me."
"It should have been her. She should have been my fated mate." I can barely look at my father right now for fear of his anger.
"Maybe you had a bad mate so that I would appreciate her more. I mean I would have still hated her if things hadn't turned out the way that they did. Plus if hers didn't reject her and made her stronger, then I might not have thought that she would be strong enough to be a Luna."
I look up at him. "Are you saying what I think you are saying?" I am hopeful, but still a little hurt that he didn't see how strong she was before Hector.
"I am saying that she will make a great Luna."
I can't believe it. I am so shocked that I did the one thing I have never done with my father. I stood up and hugged him. I can tell that he is shocked because he stands there for a moment with his arms out. Then slowly he brings them in for a hug. "Why haven't we done this before?"
"Because we are men and men don't hug." I state as I pull away from him.
"Right. Well, I am glad that I have made you happy. I hope to see this girl soon."
"Right now she is in the hospital. Hector tried to kill her."
"What?" I can see anger flare in his eyes. "He will pay."
"Too late dad. He is dead now. When we found her, we killed him."
"We?"
"Yeah, so here is the deal. I am not sure how this is all going to work out. The Elders say that it is happening everywhere but it is the first time that they have seen it with Alphas. Apparently mate bonds are now happening between three males and one female. Her other two mates were with me. One of the others is an Alpha too. The other is Beta."
"How the hell is that going to work? I mean she can't be Luna to two packs."
"We are working on it. All of us together are trying to figure it out. Right now though, Olivia wants us to focus on the war with the Rogues. She wants our heads in the game. I agree but it is hard."
"She already sounds like a good Luna. Anything else I need to know."
"Oh, she said she wanted me to ask you to train some new trackers. She said that she doesn't want us to lack wolves that are trained to track. We have had to send our trackers out to scout the enemy and hopefully return some of the taken she-wolves."
"She is smart. I will do it. When are we starting training?"
"Day after tomorrow. It was supposed to be tomorrow but Peter challenged Benson and we have to see how that plays out before we make our next steps."
"I will be ready. Keep me updated on all that is going on."
"Sure dad. I will let you know what wolves I think are good for tracker training and if you see any that you like let me know and I will pull them for you. You are going to train wolves from all four packs."
"Whatever we need for this war. I don't intend to lose."
"I never lose."
"Don't lose your Luna either." He gave me a knowing look.
"No, chance in hell I am giving her up this time."
