A month and a half later Alcina is sitting at her desk, tapping her pen mindlessly, lost in her own world. The pups have been extremely active for the past few days and Alcina had started to wonder who they will be. Will she have both boys or both girls? Or would it be one of each. She smiled at the thought of having a little mini Xavier. The silky black hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"Mate. I want mate." Sage whined.
"I know. Me too. He's busy trying though. Plus we still have to finish this paperwork." Alcina groaned at the thought.
"Need mate. Now! Mate, mate, mate, mate." Sage began chanting. It quickly began to annoy Alcina so she tossed down the pen and made her way to Xavier's office. He looked up when she entered and smiled at her.
"Xay, I need you." She said before climbing in his lap and nuzzling into his chest. She sat there taking in his scent and it helped to calm her anxiety.
"What's wrong, my sweet?" He asked rubbing her back while looking at a file. She simply shook her head and pulled him as close as he could be. He could feel through the mindlink how anxious she was. He was stuck between not wanting to invade her privacy but curious about what was affecting his mate. Curiosity won out. He sat holding the file but concentrated on finding this source of his mates anxiety.
After a thorough search he couldn't find anything major besides an overwhelming sense that something was coming. Something was about to happen and her wolf could sense it. He kissed her head and tightened his grip on her just a bit before continuing his work. Even though he couldn't stop her anxiety, he still wanted to make her feel slightly better
"Alpha, witches on the border. Thirty minutes out." Fae sent through the mind link and Xavier groaned. As if there wasn't enough happening. With a last glance at the slowly piling paperwork, he pulled Alcina up bridal style and walked to their room
"Xay?" Alcina asked looking up at him.
"The western coven is here. I'm sure it's to recertify our truce but we both have to look presentable." Xavier explained sitting her on the bed and going to her closet. He pulled out an emerald green sundress and her wedges before sitting them on the bed next to her. While Xavier pulled out a black button down and black jeans and dressed. Alcina slipped from her comfortable clothes and put on what Xavier out before brushing and braided her hair. Making their way to the front of the house they stood side by side and waited for the coven leaders to arrive.
A large black SUV pulled in and two men stepped out before opening the back doors and three women stepped out. The first had long platinum hair and legs for days. She was dressed in a navy blue skirt and jacket with a white shirt. The next had vibrant red hair and a chubby face. She was dressed in a neon pink pants suit. The last was dressed in a forest green sundress and black heels. She had Raven black hair and bright blue eyes.
"Queen Marie, to what do we owe the pleasure?" Xavier greeted as the walked towards the steps.
"Alpha Xavier. It's time to renew our alliance papers. We also have a sensitive matter to discuss." The red head answered.
"What exactly would that be?" He inquired.
"Now, now, alpha. We have had a long drive. Surely you want to offer us tea and introduce us?" The black haired woman interjected. The woman never looked away from Alcina. Xavier hummed and went inside, directly to his office. Alcina and the three witches followed closely behind. Once in the office Xavier sat in one of the arm chairs and waited for the others. The witches sat on the brown leather couch and Alcina stood next to Xavier. Looking at the women, she noticed the one with black hair was still staring at her.
"So what is it that's so important?" Xavier asked lacing his fingers through Alcina's.
"We heard about your new Luna. Congratulations to you both. However, she will be coming back with us when we leave." Queen Marie answered looking at Alcina.
"I beg your pardon? She won't be going anywhere. She's my mate and she'll stay with me." Xavier snapped. Alcina rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb and he began to calm down.
"In the treaty it states that any witch will be moved north at the age of sixteen for magical training. It's important that we do this peacefully, alpha. No one wants a war." The Red head explained.
"Two problems with your logic. One: I'm a wolf not a witch, and two: I'm eighteen not sixteen." Alcina finally spoke.
"Your mother was a witch. Check the records. That's why blue moon attacked your home pack. They kill all witches without any hesitation." Queen Marie stated.
"That doesn't mean a damn thing to me. This pack is my family, my home. And there's no way in hell I'm leaving them. Especially not while I'm pregnant." Once the words left Alcina's mouth the room went deathly silent. For a moment no one even twitched.
"I'm sorry? You're what?" The black haired on yelled standing up.
"Elvira, sit down." Queen Marie commanded.
"Like hell! They've soiled my niece! First her mother runs off with a flea ridden dog, and now they've violated my niece!" Elvira screamed.
"Violated? Violated?!" Alcina could feel her rage and Luna aura grow. Though it had no impact on the witch, the entire pack would know that someone had crossed their Luna. "You want to talk about violation? At least here they don't do anything to me that I'm not willing to let them do! Violated! God! Where were you when this happened?!"
Alcina slid the dress down her body leaving her in only a bra and panties. The red head made an odd noise, like a choked animal and when Alcina turned her back to them, all the women hissed.
"I survived thirteen years in blue moon. Everyday I was beaten and violated against my will. They took what they wanted, when they wanted and beat me when they had a bad day. Where were you then? Hmm?" Alcina asked turning to face them. She left her body uncovered so they could still see the scars that covered her body.
"Blue moon would've killed us. We saved who we could that day and Eli wants to see you, Alcina." Elvira said, sitting down. Xavier watched as Alcina's eyes went wide and her knees buckled. He was by her side the moment she got the floor.
"What did they say? What did they do? Are you okay?" He began to panic for her.
"Eli. My brother." She whispered and her eyes glazed over. "He's alive."
