Alpha Chase and his Beautiful Witch

Chapter Fifteen

Chase

Kai and I took the girls back to their aunt's house so that they could get some rest before tomorrow.  My wolf whimpered as Em pulled away and walked back into the house.  Only one more night, I console Zeus, my wolf.  He has been over the moon since we found our gorgeous mate, he keeps sending me images of us mating, I must say I don’t stop him because she is ours and we can picture her anyway we want.  I think back to the evening, how perfect it was, how perfect she is.  I don’t think she even realises how magnificent she is, witch or no witch.  Of course her powers are an added bonus to our pack, but even if she was pure human, I would not be able to think of another as mine.  I am pulled out of my thoughts by Kai tapping me on the shoulder.  “You know we need to speak to him now!”  I nod in agreement and follow Kai to his car.  

Kai had heard everything that Em had told me, we felt that it was best to chat to our father as the threat of Reis had greater consequences than just losing my mate.  Kai had called him so he knew to expect us.  

Pulling into the driveway we could see them through the window, sitting arm in arm on the sofa.  My parents have always been so loving towards each other, don’t get me wrong, my mom was tough and took no nonsense from my dad, but besides a few issues here and there, they were generally doting and loving.  My dad had shown us just because you were tough and firm did not mean that you did not have the capacity to show love and warmth towards your family.  Kai and I were brought up strictly, but with so much love.  

They must have heard the car as they were both at the front door with looks of concern as we entered the house.  My mom decided to make us some hot cocoa as we sat at the Kitchen table and began to relay the story to my dad.  As usual my dad listened intently without interrupting anyone, he was someone who always listened, processed and never rushed to conclusions.  

I sipped on my cocoa patiently waiting for my dad to think things through.  The smell of the cocoa always comforted me, taking me back to when I was a pup.  I looked over at my father as I heard him begin to talk.  

“We will need to contact the Masters and ask them to come to us tonight.  I know that Master Steven is visiting a pack an hour or two away.  I will explain the urgency and of the situation and ask him to meet us here now.!”  My father finishes his sentence in an even voice and reaches for his phone.  

The gravity of the situation begins to set in.  The Masters are of a group of werewolves who oversee the law of the werewolf community.  As long as things remain even and your pack does not cause any trouble, they generally leave you alone.  However if there are complaints within a pack, or packs that are at war, the masters are called upon to sort things out.  The way they sort it out is not always peaceful and can many times lead to bloodshed.   Each Master is somewhere between 100  - 300 years old.  They are chosen through a blood line, each family holding one seat on the panel.  The panel member is chosen at birth according to certain markings that will be on the body.  That wolf, once reaching adulthood, will stop ageing, they will take a mate who will be with them throughout their service on the panel.  They will produce no offspring as their replacement will come through another family member.  Their children will never outlive them and the pain of losing a pup is too much to bear.  However their mate keeps their emotional side at the surface, this is important as many of the decisions that are made, need to be made with an even mind.  You may not sit on the panel with no mate. You may resign at any point from the panel but may not serve longer than 200 years.  At this point you will resign and slowly begin the aging process.  There are no wolves more powerful than the Masters.  To include the masters in whatever you are dealing with, brings the consequence that the masters decision is final…..

“Yes Master Steven, The Power of the Lavarose….”, I hear my father on the phone.  I look up at Kai, he is as nervous as I am. We know we are doing the right thing, we have to keep up mates safe at all costs.  

“Thank you, yes we will be waiting for you at my house, I will inform the guards.”

We both looked over to my father, “Master Steven will be here within the hour.”
