Their Switched Wolves

My Mate is a Witch

Alpha Lucas

I heard the whole story Alice told, unbelieving it. My wolf, Aric, was always in a frenzy, in pure rage, wanting to take control, to take Mia as his. I think he is afraid that she could leave him, us. Or worse than that, reject us.

At first, I thought they were joking, but my keen werewolf hearing could tell their emotions were true from their heart rate.

I sent some mind links to my Gamma, asking him to make some phone calls and try to find out if what they say is the truth, and get some more details about all this s**t.

A few minutes later, my Gamma, give me all he´s got so far...

Alice is the daughter of Alpha Vincent of the Black Orchid Pack, as she claimed to be. I also received the information that the Pack Beta is looking for her. Why not her father? I thought to myself. The Beta sent photos and information about her disappearance to all Packs, from South to North.

As for Kayla... Kayla is, or was, the Queen of Werewolves. Her mate was King Leon. The Kingdom was taken, that I already knew. The new king made a point of sending a memorandum with the information. Jaime Dust is the name of the new King. However, there is still little information about anything else. It´s all a mystery.

The night Kayla and Alice disappeared, the Kingdom was full of high ranks, some disappeared altogether, and others returned to their Packs but there seemed to be some secrecy in the matter. Everything around the new king is also a mystery.

I asked my Gamma to arrange a meeting with our Pack Elders and the Council. I´m still waiting for him to let me know the date.

Aric is desperate. He fears rejection and wants to take Mia as his own, even by force. For him it doesn't matter if Mia is with Kayla or Alice, for him she is his mate, she is his.

As for me, I don't want to take someone against her will. Finding my mate has always been my dream. I want it to be blissful, beautiful, and happy. However, today I feel like everything is falling apart, nothing like I expected it to be. I want to hug Alice to comfort her, but Kayla dominates my mind, pulling me to her. What a big mess!

Right now, I'm running in Aric's form. I need to release this stress, and get away from Kayla. I can´t be near her or I´ll lose control. I'm tired, and I feel that my lungs can no longer keep up with the effort of my body, but even so, I push my body to the limit, trying to erase this grip that consumes me, this feeling of impotence.

Go comfort, Mia. No matter who she's with, she's our mate. The other part of us. Aric asked in his hard and powerful voice.

Aric, if I take her by force, Kayla will never forgive me or you. Alice would not forgive either. f**k!

Brother, I think we need to talk. Jacob asks, but I don't have time for his kiddies. I decide to ignore it, but I don't block the mindlink because I want to keep the channel open in case Kayla needs me. Or Alice, of course. Smith knows he can contact me only if one of them requests or something happens to one of them.

Brother, please answer! I think I know someone able to help. Jacob's voice is serious and I can tell what he says is true. I stop running and pay full attention to what my brother says to me.

Speak! I allowed him to continue.

"Lucas, personally, please. It's weird to say this via mindlink."

"I hope it's no longer one of your childish or silly craps." Or I´ll kill him. He is my family, but my emotions are a mess. Aric is full of anger, rage...

"Believe me, it's not!" His serious voice makes me believe his words.

"Okay then. Meet me in the clearing by the river." I agreed to meet him, letting some hope warm my darkened soul.

When I saw Jacob approaching, I shifted to my human form. I'm naked obviously.

"Serious conversations with you naked?" He teases me, but I know better than that.

"If you want to stay alive you better start talking." Aric hopes he isn´t kidding, and Aric, just like me, wants to get straight to the point.

"I have a friend we can talk to. Maybe she can help." He said, avoiding my eyes. Something about him is off, and I don't like it.

"Who is she?" I ask with suspicion but also clinging to the hope that there is someone in this world able to help.

"Brother, she's a hybrid, half-witch, half-fae." I blinked several times, I was not expecting this...

"How do you know a witch, Jacob?" I was surprised at the little information my little brother gave me. I frowned and looked at him suspiciously and not like it one bit.

He's nervous, his hand scratches the back of his neck. His eyes stare at his feet and now it's me who's starting to lose patience.

"Tell me!" I yelled at him. My Alpha aura sometimes has its good things, one of which is being able to extract secrets or information from ranks lower than mine.

"She is my mate!" he says and, at that moment, I take two steps back. I brought my hand to my mouth, in such a girlish act, that even I noticed it and immediately removed my hand.

"What?" I finally exclaimed. "And the shewolf from the other day? Are you lying?"

"I didn´t do anything. She was the one who tried to assault me. I was shocked as hell!"

"How? When? Why didn´t you tell me?" I yelled at him, wanting some answers.
