A Princess Among Omegas

The chat at the Diner continues

"Like I was saying your late mate Ella being friends with Micky and Dale"s wives were of no great concern. Separately these things are not especially noticeable. What Mom noticed and what Mala noticed makes these little things more significant," says Mauro.

" Furthermore, Lena doesn't sense Nilo's wolf. Even when Nilo shifted right in front of them and she couldn't scent anything except Nilo as a human with a slight hint of dark magic, explains Alpha Ruby. You see, Mala came to me about what was occurring because she thought there was something wrong with her, Alpha Ruby continues explaining. I used my extrasensory perception and searched for Nilo. He is all dark magic and zero wolves. Which means that he most likely isn't your cousin. I did the same thing with Patty and Cindy this morning after our family meeting last night. They are also not real wolves, they are witches with similar scents which means they are from the same coven, possibly even sisters. I have failed to protect my family. Mauro tries to tell me that I haven't failed and I am a great Alpha."

" I am sorry for bringing up bad memories by mentioning Ella, Alpha Ruby apologizes. "We are only monitoring the girls for now because we know they can't use Mala till after she mates with Nilo. I hear a growl coming from Vaughn. Remember Vaughn's patience. All things in due time. I have more to this tragic turn of events. You see about 8 years ago my mate LeRoy disappeared and was gone for weeks. He came back differently. I didn't want anyone to worry and he smelled like my mate. His wolf is large and black like my sweet Jethro, LeRoy's wolf. Something seemed off so last night I searched and he has no memories from before he disappeared. Now I dread telling you what I did find, he was the wolf Ella swerved to avoid hitting the night she died. Something you don't know is that Ella was with child."

"Mala come sit with Vaughn so I can play music," Mauro says via mindlink. Mala put her arms around Vaughn and notices that he calms down. "It's a lot to take in and I'm not even done, states Alpha Ruby with a heavy heart. "So let me get this straight, Vaughn says. These imposters caused the death of my pup and 1 of their own?" "It appears so, Ruby tells him. Now to see the effect that Mala has on your emotions I believe the love you two seem to have will prevail. Unfortunately, we still have missing puzzle pieces and I don't know where my mate is, however, I know he's not dead because our bond although weak is still intact. We have trackers following the fake LeRoy and hope to find him soon. We need Mala to continue the charade a little longer to give us time to get her trained. According to proverbs Mala and I must unite our strength to annihilate dark magic witches. The balance between good and evil will be maintained once the dark witches are taken out. If we don't succeed then evil would prevail. We all know we don't want evil to prevail. Light witches are near extinction after the war. We don't have to get rid of the entire species just the ones trying to create world chaos. Mauro just mindlinked letting me know that Elroy is getting restless," finishes telling Vaughn.

"Let me recap so I understand what is going on. A family of dark witches has infiltrated both our packs. They cost me my pup and time I will never get back with Mala. Apparently kidn*pped your mate and sent a stand-in in his place. They need my goddess-given mate to defeat our species and I'm supposed to mate with the love of my life yet keep it secret while some fool continues to court her. Tell your son to play a slow song so my mate and I can dance and she can tell me how she feels about all this. She can mindlink you if I have any questions. He was present for Nilo's punishment so he can fill you in while we are dancing," relays Vaughn" with frustration.

"Vaughn I am sorry for your loss, utters Mala sincerely. Ella may not have been your destined mate but I know you had feelings for her, especially seeing you were having a pup. I feel your pain. with that being said I am not going to lie, this whole thing scares me tremendously. I do however feel that I need to do this to help our packs. There will always be evil in this world; however, any species that would try to mess with fate doesn't deserve to live. I know it's not my place to judge because as humans say that is up to a higher power, theirs being their creator, God. Moon Goddess saw what was happening and had given us a chance to fix what they have done." You now have Smash telling me I told you so. Vaughn says with a smirk. I just wonder how did you get so wise beyond your years." I don't know maybe having older brothers around me all the time and paying attention because my extrasensory perception is new to Lena and me, says Mala smiling. How do you feel about all this?" " Tell your Mom I'm reluctantly on board and praying to the Moon Goddess that we get through this. Also, I reserve the right to end Nilo's life when the time comes," declares Vaughn reluctantly.

"Mom Alpha Vaughn is on board," Mala says via mindlink.

"Well Elroy, Vaughn says you witnessed the punishment that was given to Nilo, says Mauro. So how about you give us the details while they dance." "The Alpha gave him twenty-five lashes with his whip. He also sentenced him to a week in the dungeon, replies Elroy. Nilo will be in the hospital for most of that time."
