Chapter 57: Chapter 60

“Tell me about your family,” I said to my mate, who lay in my arms in her naked glory. We had mated and marked, and now, I honestly cannot keep my hands off her. If it isn’t time for alpha work or training, I end up having her on our bed. Especially if Cade is not bothering us, of course.

“Family? Mom and dad, huh?” She sighed. “They were respectful wolves in our pack. They worked hard to attain what they had in life. My mom was very beautiful and it seemed that the alpha liked her a lot since they were kids. I’ve heard that they had even dated when they were in high school before they reached the age to realise who their mates were. On the day she turned eighteen, the alpha found out that she was not his mate and was extremely disappointed about that. And his frustration increased when he found out that she was mated to my father, a normal warrior in his army.” She paused and looked into my face.

“That is what I heard from my aunt when I was around ten. I didn’t understand back then, but now I realise why the alpha would always want to make things hard for my father. He would make him do extra training, make him overwork and spend more time at duty so that he wouldn’t be able to spend time with us.” She offered a sad smile as she spoke about her childhood.

“Mom got pregnant with me soon enough. I don’t think the alpha liked it, but he couldn’t do anything about it. After all, they were mates. I remember mom and dad being really in love with each other. Then mom got pregnant with Cade when I was fourteen years old. I was ecstatic when I found out I was going to be a big sister. What I didn’t know was that the alpha was secretly planning to get rid of dad, thinking that he could have a chance with mom. I don’t think he found his mate. Even if he did, none of us knew about it.” She sighed making me gulp.

“He was planning to kill my father. I wouldn’t have even believed it if I hadn’t heard it myself. I had turned fourteen and completed my first shift, which meant I was to join my first training session because I was the daughter of a warrior. I trained for about a year and then one day after training, I was coming out of the changing room when I overheard the alpha speaking to someone. I waited when I heard my father’s name. He was telling on the phone to kill him on his next expedition.” Her voice quivered. “I was shocked. I ran all the way home and told mom about what I had heard. When I got home, dad was preparing to leave on an expedition the alpha was sending him on. I begged him not to go. Mom had recently given birth and I was not ready to lose him yet.” She wiped away the tears that kept rolling out of her eyes.

“I was glad that they believed me. That night, instead of leaving on the expedition, dad took us with him and left the pack for good. He came to this pack because the stories of alpha Samuel’s kindness were popular. When my parents narrated their story, he let us in and accepted us as his pack members. I didn’t question my parents when they started to work as omegas in this pack. We were more than glad when we were finally safe from the cruelty of that heartless alpha.” She finished narrating her story.

I could feel her melancholy. She was completely depressed. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead.

“So you were not omegas in your pack?” I asked and she nodded.

“That is okay, to be honest. I don’t have any complaints.” She said and snuggled closer to me. “I’ll tell you a secret. My father trained me in private. He was a talented warrior and I am glad he trained me for three years.” She whispered, making me sigh.

“You met your first mate….”

“Three years after I came here. But he was killed soon after.” She bit her l*p. “It was a vicious attack. I lost my whole family except Cade.” She whispered, once again tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Hey…..” I whispered and started to k**s her tears away.

“I hope I will be able to make you happy again,” I told her and I held her in my arms. She giggled.

“I am.” She replied, smiling at me. My heart fluttered.

“I love you, mate,” I whispered, tracing her soft cheeks with my fingers. Her cheeks flushed, making me smirk. What she did next surprised me a bit.

She suddenly leaned forward and crashed her lips on mine. I was amazed at her boldness, albeit I didn’t have any complaints. I was enjoying her k**s when a set of knocks interrupted us.

“Damn!” I g*****d when she broke the k**s and stared at the closed door. I waited for a bit, hoping that whoever that was would leave. However, another set of knocks were heard. Whoever that was, didn’t want to leave that soon.

“Ugh! When things were getting interesting!” I grumbled as I stood up and wore my shorts, making her giggle.

I opened the door expecting to see Cade, or either one of my parents, however, when I saw Nolan and Castor at my door, I was speechless. What were they doing here?

“Uh …..yes?” I stuttered. Our relationship was more of a professional one now. They had forgiven me and I am thankful for that. However, I didn’t expect our friendship to go back to how it used to be. At least now, all of them accepted me as their alpha.Original content from .

“Dude! Is having s*x all that you do? You reek of s*x!” Castor scrunched his nose.

“Someone has discovered the wonders of having s*x,” Nolan smirked.

Huh? I blinked. What was going on?

“Oh come on! Don’t be so clueless!” Castor rolled his eyes. I let out a peal of nervous laughter and scratched my head.

“Whatever. We don’t have time for this! Ava had seen an upcoming war in her kingdom.” Nolan stated, making me go stiff.

“War?” I asked.

“Yes. And she had confirmed it after calling Cassy. They have been having problems in the kingdom and now, Ava wants to leave and help them. And I also want to leave and help my sister.” He added.

“Yes. I also will join. I think we should keep our army prepared and on standby. If the kingdom is to be attacked, we should be prepared for the worst.” I stated, frowning.

“I will take care of that. You guys go.” Castor said and looked at me with raised eyebrows. “But seriously dude, give it a rest. Let our luna come out of the room.” He smirked.

Rolling my eyes and hiding a smile, I entered the room. “Whatever. I am going to get ready. I’ll be downstairs in a while.”

We all rushed to leave. My mate wanted to accompany us. And soon, all four of us were on our way. When we arrived at the Kingdom, we were told that the Queen was in her office. After some time, she came out to meet us. She engulfed Ava and Nolan in a hug as soon as she saw them.

“Is this your mate?” She asked, smiling at Calli.

“Yes, your highness,” I replied.

“Nice to meet you.” She held her hand out to shake, which Calli shyly accepted.

“You’re cute. What is your name?” She asked.

“Callista…… Calli.” came the reply.

“Nice.” Grinning, Cassy looked at me. “You better take good care of her.” She said, smiling.

“I promise,” I confirmed, and glanced at my mate who was smiling shyly.

“Now let’s get serious. I have informed all the provinces and packs about a possible war and to stay on standby.” She said, looking at Ava.

“That’s good.” She replied.

“And actually, Ava. We have a hunch that my crazy cousin is using magic too. So we kind of need all the help we can get.” She said, gazing deeply into Ava’s eyes, as though she was pleading for help.

“Ouch. Magic?” Ava winced. “Dad will surely help, and I think I’ll call grandma.” She said, frowning.

“Your grandma? You guys talk now?” Cassy asked, a little smile curving her lips.

“Yeah. We speak on the phone. She wasn’t very happy when she learnt that I was mated to a werewolf and that I am part lycan, but she is slowly accepting it. I sure will try to ask for help. I think she will. She may be very stubborn on this mating issue but she wouldn’t tolerate anyone misusing magic. I’ve realised that she is extremely passionate about magical powers.

“That’s great!” Cassy grinned.

“I’ll make a quick call,” Ava muttered as she stepped aside.

“Yes. I believe you all are here to help?” Cassy asked, looking in my direction.

“Yes, your highness.”

“Great! I’ll make sure that two rooms are prepared.” She uttered and glanced at Ava who was speaking to her grandma on the phone. “And meanwhile, let’s just hope that her grandma agrees to help.” She whispered, making Nolan chuckle.

She sent the orders for the rooms to be prepared. Ava returned after a few minutes, grinning widely.

“I told you, she wouldn’t tolerate misuse of magic!” She exclaimed.

“She agreed to help?” The Queen squealed in excitement.

“Yes!”

“Awesome! Now I am sure that we will win!” She grinned from ear to ear.
