He couldn't believe his son, Wyatt, was willing to help him with his own mother. He was lucky he could easily hate him. He decided he would change his Alpha ceremony, He promised Wyatt. Where do you go for your birthday, Wyatt?
"It's a town called Lake Moon. We've been going every year since I can remember. Everyone dresses up, and there are games, food music, and a maze run. It's a lot of fun, my mom went because it's held by wolves so she didn't have to hide. "
That sounds good. It's at his cousin pack. "Really, i have cousins?"
Yes, your grandma, his mother's home packs, her twin nephews run it now. "Cool, i wonder if mom knew that."
She might have they will have been in this pack a few times over the years, growing up.
"Why dont you come with us?" he said. What about your mom?
"I'll tell her last minute that you're coming, " What if she asks him why he's moving his ceremony?
"The truth is my birthday." Okay, hopefully, she doesn't see through it.
"Now, all you need to do it get her to like you again and Scarlet,".
If he remember correctly, your mom, she was never a fan of gifts.
"She does if they mean something, but she does like red roses, orange cream chocolates, and Scarlet likes red velvet cake" Wyatt stated.
Let him see what he can do. He was just standing there, something else Wyatt?.
"Do you have any more children?" No, Wyatt, just you. Anything else?
"Can i meet your wolf?" In what respect?
"Can he push forward like Scarlet can?" he can would like to meet him? "yes".
He walked forward, around his desk. His eyes went red.
"Hello, Father, wolf," Wyatt said. He felt pride roll of Pyrite, "Hello son,".
"Your voice goes all deep and husky." it does. Do your mothers not?
"No Scarlets sounds like mom has a cold. " Wyatt now laughing.
"Pyrite eyes are red?" Yes, it indicates he's a pure blooded Alpha wolf.
"What do you mean?" your grandparent's his parents are both Alpha wolves. He looked confused.
"I thought it was an Alpha and Luna?
"Yes, it is, but a Luna can be any rank and your grandma comes from a long line of pure bloods at Lake Moon pack.
"Oh, so does that mean i'll be an Alpha?" he asked. You are an Alpha Wyatt, your his son.
"I mean a pure blood, mom's eyes, well Scarlet eyes are red too" then he put his hand over his mouth. It's okay, Wyatt. he won't tell her.
"She has an unusual shifter, which is why we keep it quiet. not many know. "
Who does?
"Me? Auntie Amiee, grandma, grandfather, and uncle Marcus. She made them keep it a secret. I think she was hoping that one day, you would come thinking she was wolfless and she'd show you. " Wyatt said.
He did once, but he bottled it, he saw you and your mother with another man. so he thought she'd moved on. So left her be, he admitted.
"Have you told her this?" No, he doesn't think she'd believe him.
"What did he look like?"
Long black hair, about her height. "Oh, that Malcom hes mom manager never dated, mom's not his type."
How could that be? Your mom is hot.
"Well, I think he'd prefer you" now laughing what? oh, he gets it. cheeky boy. Wyatt was still laughing.
"You came for us?"
Yes, your mother he didn't know about you, sorry Wyatt. "it's okay". It was the first year when she was at school and the last. He never approached her he saw her graduate, and then he left
"I better get home. Mom will be wondering where i am".
The service is at 6 pm and it's 5:15 now. Wyatt hugged him and Pyrite was purring. "Bye, dad."
Bye, son. Oh, he loves him instantly.
He went and put his suit on. Walked to his father office. Father,
"I know I know I'm almost done." It's okay. You have 20 minutes, then we need to leave.
Father, he needs to delay his ceremony a month. Father looked up from his desk.
"Are you insane?. What Alpha wants to delay their succession."
Well he needs to tell you something. Mia son Wyatt is his son, and it's his birthday on Sunday, and he wants to spend it with him.
"You can at your ceremony". No, Wyatt has traditions of his own, and he'll be doing that with him.
"You're serious. Have you lost your mind, boy?"
He's just told you, you have a grandson, and all you're bothered about it ruined your plans. Are you serious father?.
"Well, how do you know he's even your son? he looks nothing like you?".
Really if that's the case he looks nothing like you, "I'm i not your son?" he asked. Father said nothing. Pyrite senses a bond with him. His father looks at him and knows his father can't deny his wolf.
"What about all the arrangements we've made?"
Well, he will inform all the packs that are coming. He's pushing it a month, and that he will be spending the weekend with his son. As he has missed 9 birthdays, hes not missing anymore.
"Well, who's fault is that?" Mine and yours, Father
"Me, how's that work?"
He made her want to leave because you wouldn't have let him take a wolfless Luna, and now she has a shifter. So he was cruel and made her want to leave, and you took the opportunity to get rid of her because for whatever reasons you have, you don't like her when she's done nothing to you.
"What if I won't change it?" Father threated.
Then find another Alpha to take over. "Don't threaten me, boy."
It's not a threat, unlike you. He's putting his son happiness above his own, so if you dont want to change it, thats fine and you can find someone else. He's finally putting his needs above yours father. He wants Mia and his son, so get used to it.
He walked out, and Marcus was stood they. Did you hear all that?
"Yes, i did, and it's about time."Marcus said. He smiled. We walked down the Hallway
"Do you know why he doesn't like my sister?". Marcus asked
No he wished he did. It's father. It will be something stupid. "You want me to find out. I'm helping him clear out his office. I could snoop at the same time. " Marcus suggested
Yes, do that. Mia and Wyatt aren't going anywhere, so this needs resolving.
"Good where this Thornwick been for 9 years?," under his father's thumb. We both laughed.
The service was hard seeing photos of Conner and listening to his parents and sister, brother talk about him, was hard.
We all went to Franks, Conners favourite bar. He saw Mia bump into her old singing group from school. They sang a few songs, they sounded so good. She was asked to sing one of her hits. He knew listening to the words it was about him. He really hurt her, he mind Link Marcus
"Is this song what i think it is." Marcus nodded. "Yes, about how she felt the loss."
He really f**king screwed up, didn't he? Marcus looked at him. "Do i really need to answer that?"
Then patted him on the shoulder. She finished the song and excused herself. Clearly upset, he wanted to go, but Marcus stopped him. He wanted to be the one to comfort her.
"I know, but that's not what she'll want."Marcus said.
He hated it, and his chest hurt, "You okay?" Charlie asked,"
Yeah, his chest hurts a bit, rubbing it. She was smiling, what? "That's love,"
What you mean?
"Your mate hurts, so you hurt." Charlie said.
Mia walked back in and took a shot and downed her drink. Amiee had ready for her. Alton asked her to dance. He hated it. He wanted her to dance with him like that, not that he was good at it.
He was leaning on the bar with the rest of his unit, and Mia walked over. She called him out on it, and everything she said she was right. He couldn't help it but look at her eyes, her mouth. He wanted to touch her, kiss her. She asked him to kiss her, and it took all his strength to walk away. She was drunk and trying to pick a fight, but she didn't mean it.
He went straight out the door and went back to his office. He was mind linked by Marcus.
"Thornwick, you okay?"
Yes, make sure she gets home safe. "Always, Alpha."
10 mins later, his mother walks in. "So i hear i have a grandson." Yes, you do. He would have told you, but you weren't here.
"How long have you known?" Mia confirmed it last night.
"Was she pregnant when she left?" Yes, he thinks mother, she started to cry. He got up, mom, don't cry.
"I let your father make her leave." Mom, why?
"Because he didn't think she was good enough for you. We don't know where she came from, so he doesn't trust her. "
Is that why he acts that way towards her?.
"Yes, we didn't have as many cameras as we do now. All we know is that she was found in a basket outside the gate, no name, nothing. "
Well, we need to figure out why he hates her so much, mom. She's going to be his mate. Hes not losing her again or his son because of him.
"I'll help you, however I can." Thank you. What about dad?
"Oh, I can handle that man, don't worry."
He woke up next morning. Mind link, Amiee. Morning Amiee,
"Hello Alpha, what can I do for you?" Is Mia okay?
"Yes, Alpha is still asleep." a little amusment in her voice. Can you let him know when she's awake up. He wants to know if she's okay after last night. " She laughed,
Amiee. Please.
"I'm sorry, Alpha, but she was very funny."
That she was he'll take it on the chin he probably deserved it.
"I think that's a good way to show her your old self. You always made fun of each other. Remember?". Yes, we did. Amiee, can he ask you something? Please be honest. " she paused.
"Go on?"
Is he wastin his time?. He knew she was the only one who would give it him straight.
"What do you mean?" He doesn't want to cause her more pain.
"I'm going to tell you something, and if you repeat it, i will deny it, and she'll believe me over you. Mia has loved you for most of her life. You're the only man she's had in her bed. "
But the last 9 years? "Nope, only you." Thank you
"I'll let you know" and cut the link.
She'd only ever him, that makes him feel worse now, waited for him. He hit his own head on his desk, banging it. Why is he such an i***t bang bang bang.
"Alpha? Amiee spoke. Yes Amiee.
"She is going for a run if you want a moment with her how about you flirt with her, use the kiss from last night." She cut the link.
He ran back to his room quickly, got changed, and ran out towards the forest. He saw that red hair flowing, she had shorts on and a sports bra all her curves on show. She was clearly talking to her shifter. Didnt see the tree branch, she fell straight into the tree. s**t are you okay?
"Yes, just a cut." he took his t-shirt off and wrapped it around her arm. He couldn't help smile. She was clearly ogling him. Thought he'd let her know it, be cheeky with her. She went red as a tomato by his comment.
The good person she is she apologised. No need, he deserved it. He remembered what Amiee had said. Teased her about the kiss, she looked disappointed he hadnt. He took his chance now.
He ran his nose down her cheek along her jaw, smelt a slight arousal. He kissed her it took a few seconds but she kissed him back. His hands was all over her body. Oh she's filled out from a girl to a woman.
He unzipped her sports bra and her breasts were larger. He picked her up, and she wrapped her legs around him. He was tasting her breast. As soon as she said "Thorn, please," that was his undoing.
All her clothes was off, he shaked out of his shorts and he pushed himself through, every part of him was tingling oh f**k yes, so much better than before he loved that she told him she was going to c*m, just made him c*m with her.
He could tell she enjoyed it but was overwhelmed by what just happened, she let herself feel things again. He got a last kiss and had to let her go.
He went back to the pack house, laid on his bed, and couldn't help the smile on his face.He felt a mind link
"Well, well Alpha what you been up to" Amiee said. Is she okay?
"More than okay, fully satisfied," Amiee?
"Yes she fine you've confused her at a bit"
Well he didnt want that "yes you do she's gone from not wanting anything to do with you to being confused about how she feels about you, keep it up" she cut link.
Okay, now he was thinking, she was initiated into the pack as a child, she has a shifter now, she never served ties. He thought, why not try mind linking her, and he was able to Mia?
"yes Alpha" came out a little shakey.
If you want to come to his room tonight, he'll leave his door unlocked. Hes in the same room and cut the link before she could say anything back.
