Chapter 13
**Alpha Austin's POV**
I saw Angela heading out this morning in her workout clothes. She looked like a woman on a mission. So, when she stepped outside, I decided to watch her through the window. She was doing amazing, keeping up with the warm-ups, and damn, that beautiful ass she had. It was nice and plump, just big enough for me to slap from time to time. When the sparring was over, I approached the door to welcome her back into the house. I couldn't help but smile as she walked inside, accompanied by Tessa. My beta walked up, sniffing the air. Then, I noticed Tessa stopping in her tracks - oh, s**t. I was wondering why he was doing that in the office; now I know why. Angela moved to stand beside me as we watched them.
"Callahan, is that really you?"
"It sure is. I just got back this morning. I kept scenting you, but every time I got close enough, your scent would be gone. My goddess, you are beautiful. Didn't I tell you that when I got back, I was going to choose you as my mate? Well, I guess I didn't have to do that after all because you are my gifted mate."
"Yeah, I remember that. It was three years ago. I shifted at warrior camp. I didn't mean to; it just happened. The Luna helped me through it. I never would have thought we were gifted mates. I thought once you went to beta training, you would have found her." He stood in front of her, holding her waist.
"Honey, I was counting on you being my gifted mate. The Moon Goddess had granted me this wish. I'm not about to let that wish go to waste. Do you have any idea how much I have thought about you and nothing else? I'm sorry that it took me so long to get home."
They both hugged each other, and Tessa said, "It's okay. We are both here now. I'm so happy the Moon Goddess has granted both of us our wishes."
"Well, it's going to take some time to move your things to the fifth floor. If you want to shower and relax, I can get some help so we can do it faster." I was shocked to learn that Tessa was his mate. He was a player back then, and Tessa knew it. She wouldn't sleep with him. He had told her that once he came back from Beta training, he was going to make her his mate. I don't think she believed him. But over the years, I noticed a change in him. We would video call, and he would ask about her. But I never put too much into it. I would ask him how the women were, and he would say he was too busy training to be my Beta to worry about women there. That man grew up; he was ready to settle. Seeing him with Tessa, I now knew why he had changed. He knew that if she was going to be his mate, he had a lot of changes to make and a lot of growing up to do.
"Let me shower, and then we will start moving my things up there. I'm glad we have elevators." They walked hand in hand into the pack house. Callahan has a house as well, but he mainly lives here, just like I do. However, we prefer to stay here. Angela and I went inside, and then we went into my office.
“I have a surprise for you. I had help getting all your things out of your van. Everything is unpacked and put away, but it's up to you where you want to hang the photos. I didn't want to do that because I was thinking you could do that; it's your home as well.”
“I wouldn't have a clue where to hang them. I could put a few in the bedroom and the others in our living room upstairs. I could put my dishes in our kitchen. I have a certain way I would like to put them. Thank you for getting everything out; I had forgotten about that.”
“No problem, why don't you go shower and relax. There isn’t any rush.” She nodded as she took the elevator to the top floor. Damn, what a nice ass. I wanted to grab it so badly, but I don't feel like getting slapped. The elevator's door opened.
“Listen, I almost forgot, I have something to show you. So if you have time, can you come up here with me after my shower? I'll show you what I'm talking about.” Damn, I thought to myself, I might get lucky. We went to the room; she got some clothes, then went into the bathroom to shower. Once she was done, she came out with a towel around her hair and clothed. Damn, I thought I was going to get lucky, watching her walk over to her side of the bed. She tossed me her phone. I was a little bit confused as to why she did that.
She saw that I was confused, so she walked over to sit beside me. She turned her phone on, clicked on a few things, then told me to read. So I started reading, and if smoke could have come out of my ears, it would have. It was Roman texting my mate.
“I'm sorry, I take my rejection back. Come back to the pack, and we will rebuild your parents' home.
‘Where are you? I will come meet you, and we will talk things out. I promise this is not a trick.
‘Come on baby, come back. The pack will be happy to see you again. You're not banished anymore, just come back.
‘I will buy you everything you want. Is that what you want to hear? Just come back.
‘I will get rid of Carrie; I don't want her. She is too weak. Come on, Angela, talk to me.’ There was so much more, way too much; then there was just her message.
‘You were never my mate; your number is being blocked.” That was all she said, feeling her hand on my shoulder. It calmed me down, giving her back her phone.
“He won't give up. He doesn't know where you are right now, so let's keep it that way. But once he finds out, he will come for you.”
‘Let him come. He will regret it.’”
