Fake Marriage But True Mate

Chapter 4

The doctor bared his neck in submission to his bold statement. But he was right, none of this is going to help the situation at all. I can't risk someone finding out I was the one giving her the wolfsbane. Not only would it ruin my family's name and ruin trust with allies, but it is also against werewolf law. I needed to control my frustration and anger, but I just couldn't. And it didn't help that my wolf was arguing with me in my head also. We wouldn't be arguing if you would have just stood up to your dad a long time ago. Now you've let it go too far. Once she finds out what you have been doing, she won't even consider being our ally.

Shut up mutt. You know it is the only way father is going to pass Alpha to us. We will fix it. We will think of a way, but right now is not the time. I hated arguing with him. A wolf is supposed to be your best friend and we were until dad came up with this plan for power.

We could have told her. He muttered while turning to leave a curl up in the back of my mind, cutting our connection.

I wish I could tell her. I wish I didn't have to lie or use her. But she doesn't know anything about us. How could she help? My phone starts ringing and the last person I want to talk to is at the other end.

"This had better be good. My wife's in the hospital if you don't know." I know I shouldn't talk to him like that but I couldn't help it.

"I know your worried son, but I am still your alpha. You dont speak to me in that tone." I can hear his wolf trying to surface. "I called to tell you what your mom found out when she questioned the omegas."

Why won't he just spit it out? He let out a long sigh then continued. "The omega that cleaned the kitchen says that she's worried about the Luna because she says her breakfast was barely touched this morning. Only a few bites of toast had been missing off the plate."

How was he telling me this so calmly? This is the worst thing that could happen and he's telling me as if he's speaking about the weather.

"What if," I begin when he cuts me off.

"Just find a way to give her the wolfsbane. We will deal with the 'what ifs' if they become an actual problem. We shouldn't have to worry, the dose you have been giving her is enough to keep even an alpha wolf away for a couple of days." I couldnt believe what I was hearing. Not only did he want me to risk giving her the wolfsbane in the hospital, but he had me giving her more then he would give an alpha! What if she had gotten hurt? What if we've given her too much and her wolf can't come out?

"No dad, the doctor already knows she has wolfsbane in her system!" I need to get away. I know if I don't let Jet out soon, he will force his way out. I start pacing around the room trying to think of something that will keep my dad off my back while also trying to fix this whole mess."Hopefully, she will wake up in the morning and the doctor will release her to be monitored at the pack house. Then I can just make her breakfast in the morning as usual and all of this worry would be for nothing."

I couldn't hold Jet back any longer. He was running in circles in my head, howling nonstop. I hung the phone up without letting him reply, afraid that Jet was going to take control at any moment, and quickly rushed out of the hospital, into the forest that surrounds our pack lands. As soon as I took off my clothes, Jet bolted to the front of my mind and I heard the familiar sound of bones breaking and within seconds I was flying on all fours, running off some of the tension from the day.

What was I going to do? I really didn't want to keep fighting with my wolf, the other half of who I am. He wants us to tell Marie everything, from who she is to what we've done and hopes she can forgive us and help us overthrow my father. I just wanted to find my fated mate and become the Alpha my pack deserved. Not the Alpha just out for power and didn't care what he had to do to get there.

After running for several hours, Jet was finally calm enough to let me take back control so that we could shower and go back to the hospital. We argued for hours about how to handle this situation. And you know I'm right. He says for the millionth time before completely cutting off the link.

That's when I decided it was time for change. I was about to put all of my trust in my wolf. I was tired of listening to my dad's crazy plans. I was tired of having this constant back and forth in my head. If my wolf believes this little she-wolf is the key to ending this, then I have no choice than to believe it as well. Let's just pray to the moon goddess we haven't messed things up too badly and they can not be fixed.

First, we needed Marie to wake up so we could get her away from her and explain it all. What if she doesn't want to help us? How are we going to explain the wolfsbane? 'Oh yeah, by the way, we've been giving you this thing called wolfsbane. It's kind of like a drug for werewolves, since the day before your sixteenth birthday.' Yeah, this is going to go so well.
