Chapter 60

NATHANIEL

The carnage left after the war, smelt of death but also victory. I look around at families and loved ones all hugging each other. They were all trying to come to terms with it all. Many loses came from the pack and also the towns people. Many of the people were sitting on the ground resting and some were crying.

My father had my mother and younger brother Sam in his arms, my father covered in blood while my mother attended to his wounds before going to help the others. My father picks up Sam and hugs him. He turns to me and smiles.

Dane is sitting next to Emily on the ground with her grandmother Gloria. Dane told me that Emily not only killed Yariel but her father as well with the help off her mother. She has to grieve and come to terms with everything thats happened.

Someone’s hand comes on my shoulder “We did it, we killed them” says Miles with a hint of happiness but also sorrow as I know he lost three of his men. His mate Ella walking up to us with Anna by her side. We all look defeated but it’s not because of the war, we are all missing Mila and Archer.

“They will be back” says Ella “We all must have some hope and faith.”

I look up at the sky; it’s so black with the stars being ever so bright. The moon is full and at its peak.

“I think we all need to rest and we all can meet in the office in the morning to decide on what cause of action we will take next” I say looking at each and every single one of the people who were around me. They all nod and turn around heading back into the pack house.

I look around and help put the entire dead together ready for the funeral ritual. Families needed time to grieve for their loses and everyone needed to assess what happened here today.

I look towards a group of people from the town that were standing around two bodies, they were shredded by rouges who were lying next to them. “It’s Gerald and Barry” says Emily who comes to the side of me. Her tear stained face looking at them.

I nod not knowing what to say.

After a few hours of helping everyone out, we all are back in our rooms. I went straight into Mila’s, I take her note out that I kept in the back pocket. I read it again.

Tears fill my eyes, I'm to be Alpha. I need to keep my emotions in check. But I needed my mate.

“I want mate too” sighs Ox “We need a bath, we stink.”

I chuckle. I head into her bathroom and have a shower. I use her products that make me smell like her. I needed to smell either like her, or her scent of chocolate and roses.

I close my eyes as I lean against the tiles “Please Moon Goddess, help me, I want to know that Mila is safe” I pray silently to myself.

I open my eyes and shut of the water off.

I grab a towel and wrap it around my waist.

I open the bathroom door to a woman who is the most gorgeous woman I have ever met looking at the note my mate had left me with a smile on her face “She does love you, you know” she says.

I look back at her “Who are you? How did you get in here?” I ask sounding on edge. I don’t like anyone talking about my mate.

“Calm little Alpha, I'm Selene” she says. It takes me a little while to realize who she was, I gasp “Moon Goddess”

She nods and smiles at me “Yes young Alpha, it is me. You can't look for your mate. She has to do something for herself. That warlock made my child suffer and she needs to do this. She also has to find someone who will help her and her dragon guardian.”

“I need to be with her” I ask “Why can’t I find her?”

She sighs “You Alphas are all the same but I know you want her with you but you will have to wait. She has to do her duty as my creation first but you have a problem as well.”I stare back at her.

She looks up at me with seriousness in her face “Emily killed the two men who wanted to hurt all supernatural kind including wolves and you killed Devon. You killed her son and Emily killed her mate. She will come with vengeance for the both of you.”

“Who are you talking about?” I asked.

“She has many mates; they are not really her mates. She uses magic to have what she wants. She wants to be the most powerful person in the whole world. She wants Mila but she can’t have her. Yariel was one of her true mates, she has three but now she is down to two” she says “Aria is her name, many believe she is the darkness against the light but she is an evil sorcerer who steals other people’s magic. She has some but she is not that powerful. You have to protect Emily.”

“Her name is Aria” she says finally.

I look at her “We will, Emily is part of our pack. She is also Dane’s mate” I said.

“Ah, Dane. He needs to mate and mark her before Aria comes. But she will find other ways to get back at both of you” she says “She doesn’t know about Mila being gone, hopefully they will be back beofer the final war so keep that part between you and Miles”

I look back at her confused “Miles” I asked.

She nods “Yes Miles, let him stay and help you. He never wanted the Alpha title; he wanted to know more about his family. Let him and also he will need to know about Mila too.”

She turns around and I can sense she is about to leave “When will I see Mila?” I ask in a whisper.

She looks back at me and smiles “It won’t be long young Alpha but I believe she will be sending you some information soon enough to make sure you know that she is alive, keep an eye out for them. They will give you closure young Alpha and stand by what you promised, no other women till she comes back, also listen to your wolf, he is a good one” she says and smiles as she disappears into thin air.

I look around the room in a daze.

“I'm a good wolf, human listen to me now; you are not going to bed another whore again. We are waiting for our mate” growls OX, I can't help but chuckle “Ok, good wolf. I agree but we need to make a plan that will protect Emily.” He nods in agreement.

We put a pair of boxers on and climb into Mila’s bed, it still has her scent on the pillow and I take in the scent. I wish she was here but she has to do whatever it is she has to do.
