Alpha Lachlan Gideon

I spent the whole morning training the new Wolves who joined our pack. The original members of the Lapis Lazuli pack were also training harder than usual. Demons walking around freely again for the first time in a millennium and the surprise attack from the Vampyres. We need to be at the top of our game. I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't feel good. I bet it has something to do with that woman Cecile/ Genevieve, whoever the f**k.

I felt like a failure of an AIpha. I was too eager to join the fight and get away from my little Demigoddess instead of questioning why someone would attack the two smallest packs with minimal land. I saw it as an achievement to be asked for help when previously, my father had ruined our pack's reputation so bad no one wanted to work with us. I know Rowena blames herself for Becca and her brother, but some of it was me. I was being too prideful. I lost my warriors and I led them astray. I took our best warriors without question. What if the members here were attacked? I didn’t know how Rowena’s spell worked and I didn’t even ask. She said people need an invitation from me, but how about people I had already invited? What if Alpha Kobain was lying about needing help and had other accomplices like one of my enemies? They could have come in and destroyed everything. I’m such an i***t for being so cold to her. I need to show her how much she means. How much I value what she did. Her spell could be the only reason I have a pack to return to. Severus was right maybe I don’t deserve to be an Alpha,

‘Hey! I was just trying to get you to act right. We are meant to be the Alpha! We are one of 3 Original Alpha Bloodlines left. All these new alphas only appeared because we need to rebuild. Take pride in your birthright! You can’t just give up the title. You made a mistake it takes a true Alpha to admit to his mistakes and his pack will measure him by how he redeems himself.’ Severus scolded,

‘Just because you might be right doesn’t mean I don’t feel like s**t! I still don’t understand what happened. I know I don’t deserve immediate forgiveness, but I thought we were getting somewhere. Then she pushed us away. I don’t believe for one second she didn’t want to buy new furniture with me, please Severus, you’re her familiar, please tell me something.’ I snapped back,

“Go to the dungeons. She needs you right now even if she doesn’t know it.’ Severus said after a few minutes,

I practically ran there. I was so worried what if she was hurt or that fucken Demon got free and took her? What if he kills her? I used my Alpha hearing but the dungeons were soundproof for torture. I walked in and saw Mandy and the Demon naked, Rebecca pissed off and Rowena on the verge of tears.

“STOP IT! It wasn’t my fault it wasn’t. My grandmother did it, not me. I did nothing wrong.” She sulked,

“You know I’m right. Once the Alpha finds out, he’ll hate you. That’s why you came back, that’s why you’re here. You want to know exactly what happened. Your secret will be revealed.” The Demon laughed,

“What secret? Is this why you’ve been avoiding me?” I huffed.

What the f**k? What could make me hate her? Is she lying about being my mate or something? I was getting angrier by the second until she swayed slightly and all the colour drained from her face. She looked like she was going to pass out. I rushed over to her and wrapped my arm around her waist. She instantly calmed down, and so did I. f**k! There is no way this can be fake there is no way. I feel like such a douche for even thinking that ughhh! I didn’t realize how much I needed her but Severus did, thank you man. She smiled at me and then her eyes widened and she stepped back,

“Alpha Gideon, What did you hear?” I frowned,

“Lachlan… Call me Lachlan NOT Alpha..” I stared into her eyes,

“Gideon...what did you hear?” She whispered,

“It wasn’t your fault, your grandmother did it and I may hate you?” I was curious.

She looked horrified like I might have learned something she didn’t want me to know. Honestly, there is nothing she can say that will make me stop from accepting this mate bond fully. I want to tell her I love her and it will be okay but that's because of the bond but I know the truth. I don’t really love her not yet. But I am falling so damn fast and there is no rule book or safety net. The funny part is I don’t mind crashing as long as she's there with me when I get up,

“Oh, Lachy! She did such horri-”

Rebecca grabbed Mandy by the throat through the bars and started choking her. She slammed her head against the bar and then threw her across the room,

“Shut up! You fucken selfish bitch.” She sneered,

"Sorry caught her f*****g my mate and she is being smug about it" Rebecca smirked at me.

“Gideon, are you ready to see the Jaxs mom? We can drive or I can open a portal?” Rowena asked meekly,

She was clearly trying to change the subject and I decided to allow her. Eventually, I'll find out what's bothering her.

“I should drive. She wouldn’t take too kindly to a portal appearing.” I smiled.

What started out as just me and my mate turned into me, my mate, Skye, Jax, and Rebecca. I could feel through our twin thing that this bothered Skye. Rebecca only came because Rowena begged her. She said she was the only one she felt comfortable around. I know that hurt Skyes feelings. She never got along with women well and she bonded with Rowena instantly. Our siblings were the only exceptions. She always tried to be one of the guys. I know she thought that if she was a man she'd get more respect from others. She always said dad liked me more because I was the future Alpha. I didn't want to believe it but I do. I've seen the way other packs treat her when I call her my Beta. She should have been the Alpha.

When our parents found out they were having triplets the Pack doctor told our parents we were all boys. I know a lot of people were shocked that she came out. Especially since it was told that one of the fetuses was absorbed by the other. The pack and our parents always assumed it was me but I think it was Skye. She's always been way more responsible and a better leader than me. I'm only Alpha because of the birth order. This wasn't supposed to be the case but she was a little stuck so I got pulled out during the c-section first.

After two hours of driving, we finally arrived at Jaxs mom's house. Baset opened the door and was visibly angered. She turned to Jaxs,

"How dare you bring a Maddox witch into my home? What were you thinking?" She sneered,

Rowena's face became sad and she turned to leave while muttering an apology but before she got to the car Baset spoke again,

"Oh, my child! I can feel your pain from here. I've judged you based on your family and I should know better. I deal with people judging me because of my skin colour. We can't help where we come from. Right? You have a whole lot going on in that mind of yours. Come here." She opened her arms

Rowena hesitated for a moment before getting closer. She stepped into her arms and started sobbing violently. Her whole body was shaking. Baset rubbed her back and whispered soothing words into her ear. Jaxs took us to the kitchen and started giving us all drinks. He then led us to the library and told us to wait.

Demigoddess Rowena

We'd been driving for hours and it made me realize I didn't know how much land belonged to the Lapis Lazuli pack. It was so beautiful to witness all the colourful nature that surrounded us. It made me feel warm inside. I could feel the irritation rolling off of Skye. I felt slightly bad that I was still ignoring her but once she and her siblings find out they'll hate me. So I would rather her be mad at me than hate me.

Jaxs was driving and upfront was Skye next to him. My mate wouldn't let me sit alone so he sat on my right and Becca was on my left. I could feel him trying to communicate with me. Even Severus was trying but I blocked them both out. I was still so nervous. What if he heard more than he told me? What if he figures it out? What if he hates me more than when I arrived? I couldn't handle not knowing so I just kept my head down and watched the beautiful landscape pass us by. We turned off the main road into a hidden street full of trees. We drove for 10 more minutes and came across a small cottage wrapped in vines. Their garden was filled with all the plants a witch could need. As we got out of the car the door swung open. Out stormed a tiny black woman with long sisterlocs and dressed in a beautiful ankle-length dress with flowy sleeves. At first, she was mad and then she was holding me. It was something I wasn't used to but I recognized it immediately. I burst out crying, all my pain and fears just flowed out. It was a mother's touch. Something I didn't even know I was deprived of until that moment. I could feel her reading me but I just couldn’t care. She rubbed my back comforting me. We sat down and communicated telepathically. She confirmed my fears, that even though Demons lie and manipulate people's perceptions the vision I had wasn't tampered with at all. I had met my mate before. Now I was confident that he and his siblings would hate me. She told me that we have bigger things to worry about right now. She left me alone with my worries and went to the kitchen. She came back with tea and biscuits. Jaxs followed her holding books on Demons and The Human war. The others followed in and sat down. Baset gave us a serious look,

"If Demons are walking around in lesh suits we have a big problem. One nobody is prepared for. Not if all spices are too busy fighting each other from what Jaxs told me. This must have been part of the plan. Besides my son.." She paused and beamed with pride while he looked indifferent.

"What do you guys know about The Human war?" She stared at us,

"A selfish werewolf stole the King's betrothed and killed her because she rejected him," Skye rolled her eyes.

"I heard a vampire killed the King's betrothed and blamed it on a werewolf because he wanted the werewolf's mate himself." Becca chirped.

"Both of you are wrong. I can tell you the story since my ancestors saved the surviving species." I smiled proudly

Jaxs scoffed and rolled his eyes. His mother shook her head and turned to face me "Okay tell us your version?" Baset responded.
