Part two- Chapter 34

“That's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so lovable.”

― Deb Caletti

TEMPLAR P.O.V

I was racing through the trees in my wolf form along with my friends. We had gone hunting early in the morning today and while we were returning home we decided to hold a race.

Beside me, I saw Keith’s wolf trying to keep up with me. Through squinted eyes he saw me and gave a wolfish grin. I smirked mentally. He is so going to lose this.

At the same time, Ben’s wolf jumped on my back and tackled me down.

‘Haha… I win’ Keith said through the link and I growled.

‘You owe me’ Ben told him through the link.

‘Unfair’ I screamed. ‘This is cheating. You both are cheaters’ I growled and standing on my limbs, I bared my fangs at Ben, who already ran ahead.

‘Look who’s talking’ Jan chuckled running towards me and I closed my mouth shut.

‘Point’ I muttered because she was right. Everyone laughed through the link while I sulked and walked towards my home.

After shifting back, I showered and then wore a grey skinny jeans and a white top. Tying my hair together in a high pony tail, I went to see Trudy.

It’s been three days since Randall’s death and things were back to normalcy in the pack. He had tried his very best to mess our pack up, but thankfully, we did not fall into his trap.

As I remembered Randall, I couldn’t help but growl. Shaking my head, I continued walking towards Keith’s house.

“Trudy” I called pushing open the main door.

“In here” she called back and I followed the noise to her bedroom. Ophelia was also in the room and together, they were trying to wrap baby Sienna in a warm cloth because she just had her bath.

“Hey beautiful” I cooed at Sienna and she watched me with wide eyes. She kept watching me and smiling, I softly touched her cheeks.

“Where is Keith?”

“He has gone to market”

“Are you going to put her for a nap?” I asked Trudy.

“I have to feed her first” Trudy said watching Ophelia who was making sure Sienna’s hands to be tucked under the wrap.

“Did you get reply to all your mails?” she asked abruptly.

“Yes. All have agreed” I said with a big smile because we have received the last mail yesterday and I was overwhelmed that all the Alphas’ have agreed to attend the Sorority building to attend the meeting.

“The meeting is this Saturday right?” Trudy asked and I nodded. It was five days later.

“And did you get a call from Adio?” Ophelia, who also was having Sienna wear a woolen balaclava to cover her head and ears, queried.

As I heard it, I stiffened because there has been no call from him. However, I reasoned to myself by saying that it has only been a week since he left.

“No” I replied shaking my head.

“There, all done” Ophelia told and I grinned when I saw Sienna, who except for her face, was fully covered.

“Look at her. She doesn’t even understand why you have completely wrapped her up” I said with a chuckle.

“We do not want her to catch cold now, do we?” Ophelia said, picking Sienna and handing her to Trudy.

“Alright, you feed her. I will go” I told standing up and then kissing Sienna on her head, I walked out. Ophelia decided to stay there to help put Sienna to sleep while Trudy goes to take a bath.

In the meantime, I decided to go to the beach for a swim. It was a Sunday but since Everett had missed a lot of work in the past few weeks, he had gone to his office in the town.

I removed my jeans, dropped it on the shore and then went for a swim.

Once under the surface of the water, I swam like a mermaid. I wanted to talk to the Goddess. However, I had sworn the last time that I wouldn’t do so until I completely fulfilled my responsibility and hence I just kept swimming under the water.

‘Where are you?’ Jan’s voice echoed through the link and I furrowed my brows.

‘Swimming’

‘Well come to the border. We have an unwanted guest’s’ she said sourly and I immediately rose to the surface of the water.

‘Who?’ I asked her while I was swimming towards the shore.

‘Louis along with Reece’ I groaned the moment I heard their names.

Sighing, I informed Rett the same through the link and he told me that he was already coming home. Apparently, Keith had seen them first.

Quickly pulling up my jeans, I ran a hand through my hair. My shirt was soaked and since it was white, what I wore underneath was also clearly visible.

‘Jan, get me a black top’ I told her through the link because I didn’t want to flaunt my body in front of that womanizer.

After changing into a black top, I marched towards the northern border where Reece and Louis Gibb were waiting. My pack wolves did not let them enter the territory and I was really grateful.

Reece was there along with his pack wolves. Alton was one of them and as he saw me, he shot me a guilty look. It told me that he did not know Reece would come here abruptly like this.

My gaze then flickered to Louis Gibb, who was one of the three heads of Sorority. He was in his early fifties and he had toffee brown hair and pale blue eyes.

“There she is” Reece hissed the moment he saw me. “Where is your mate?” he snapped and I shrugged.

Everett told me, he would be here soon.

“What do you want?” I demanded crossing my hands across my chest. Keith and Cam were standing on my both side and Jan, a few steps behind along with other guards.

“Tell your guards to let us in” Louis said frowning at me.

“I would have let you in had you chosen a right company” I informed him and Louis frowned while Reece growled.

“You are disrespecting me. A member of Sorority” Louis glared at me.

“My apologies. I do not intend to do so” I began sincerely. “But you must also know that the BlueBells pack has been intending to get into a war with my pack and is now by all rules, our enemy. Hence for the safety of my pack and my pack wolves, I cannot let any wolves belonging to BlueBells enter my land” I continued looking at Louis.

He clenched his jaws and then nodded grudgingly.

‘In your face Louis’ Jan said through the link with a chuckle and I tried my best to hide my smile.

“Really? But Reece here tells me that you have entered his pack without his permission. So I think it’s only fair” Louis smirked and I narrowed my eyes. I don’t know why, but Louis disliked me from the start and I him. Maybe our star signs do not match!

“Yes. The bitch is lying through her teeth now” Reece spat glaring at me. “She has wrongfully entered my pack and attacked me as well as my pack wolves.”

“Have you been dreaming Reece?” Keith questioned and I smirked.

“Don’t play that game with me Killian. My pack wolves here are witnesses to it” Reece growled. “Ask them.”

Before Louis could do so, Cam spoke up, “They are from your pack. Of course they will agree to anything you say.”

“True. Even I can say that you have come here and attacked us” I said to Reece. “Do not put false accusations on us”

“This is not a false accusation” Reece took a step ahead threateningly and my wolf bristled.

“Then prove it” I challenged. “Prove that I was in your pack” I smirked and Reece’s eyes darkened as he bared his fangs.

“Yes. If she was in your pack, tell us all why she was in your pack and what she did in your pack” I heard Everett’s familiar voice and I turned my head to see him walking towards me along with Terence.

Once Rett was standing beside me, he wrapped an arm around my waist.

Reece paled because he could not say to the Sorority that he has been giving shelter to Randall, a lawbreaking rogue. Mentally, I high-fived myself because everything was going as I expected it to. This is why I had refused for Rett and others to have Reece informed the wrong he was doing.

I wanted him to get trapped in his own plan and now Reece could not prove we were in his pack because he could not say we had kidnapped Randall from there. Helping Randall itself was a wrong move by Reece.

“Come on prove it” Keith taunted.

“I cannot” Reece hissed through gnashed teeth and in his face, I smirked victoriously. Looking away, my gaze clashed with Alton, who smiled and bowed his head in respect.

I am going to make Alton the new Alpha of BlueBells… soon!

“Then all your accusations on us are unjustified and unacceptable” I said and then looked at Louis, who was frowning at Reece. “So, what do you have to say now Louis?” I demanded.

“Alright” he said reluctantly and I narrowed my eyes at his tone. “I am the only one who is going to enter your territory.”

“Fair enough. But I first want Reece and his wolves to return to their pack” Rett said.

“Maybe you won this time” Reece said through gritted teeth. “But for the offence of trespassing and killing my pack wolves, I will make sure you pay a very heavy price” Reece smirked at me. My wolf snapped her jaws and clawed inside me desperate to get out and kill him. Beside me Rett growled murderously and so did my pack wolves.

“We will see” I said and flashed my own smirk.

“Now please leave. We have to care for a guest” Keith added.

Growling at us one last time, Reece climbed inside his car. Very soon he was gone along with his pack wolves.
