The Last Water Phoenix

Ch 29 Tristan

He was waiting for his father to answer. He turned to walk away. "Wait, I'll alpha orth you, but if I turn out to be right, I will turn rouge and kill her."

His father held out his hand. He did the same. Now I alpha Tristan meyers will be holding you fully responsible Titus Meyers if any harms come to his mate or her family that has been organised by you or done yourself as an alpha or as a rouge. You will die for any treason against his mate regardless of your RANK at the time, and you promise to get help from gamma Sirus, do you swear?

Father was angry, he could see. Do you swear " I Alpha Titus swear". They held hands, and an orth was printed on their wrist. Okay, well, we are having a family meal to introduce the family to Alex and her them. Would you like to join us, Titus?

"Can you start calling me father again," Ha, you have to earn that back he thought. The meal is at 7 pm in the private dining room. He suggests you clean yourself up. He left the cells. He turned to the guard. Alpha Titus is released, so you can let him out and send him on his way.

"Tristan, can we talk?" Titus, he is really busy at the moment, maybe in a few days. He hopes to see you at dinner, but he understands if you need a few days. He headed on back to his office. His mother and grandparents were still in his office waiting.

Father has been released. He had him alpha orth him to never bring harm to his mate or her family if so it will result in his death. He agreed to help from grandfather Sirus, too. He's sure he's in your suite now. He invited him to dinner whether he come he doesn't know, he doesn't care.

"Tristan." No, mother, he's sorry, but no, he had to put a clause in that he wouldn't hire anyone to harm Alex and her family, and Titus was actually mad about it. He clearly had a hidden agenda. "He might have just been annoyed you thought badly of him." Mother said.

He doesn't believe it. If he had his way, he would be gone. Alex is the only reason he's here she wants to try with him. He doesn't trust him. Mother frowned. "I'm sorry, Tristan. I'll go talk to him."

Okay, well, he has work to do. He'll see you all at dinner. He did feel very sad that he admitted to himself. Your own father wishing his favourite son was alive. His father hated his mate and wanted harm to come to her. It didn't feel good. He buried himself in work until he heard a knock at the door. It was Alex.

"You almost finished," Yes, 2 minutes just file this away. You look lovely. She had a long flowing dress on, one long sleeve. Black and white. "Thank you. Are you okay?" Of course, let's go eat. She didn't believe him but said nothing.

They headed for the private dining hall. He smiled at everyone and handed Alex a glass of champagne. He saw Brooke, you look beautiful. "Thank you, Alpha." He introduced the table of guests to Alexandra, Brooke. This is Sirus and Elise, his grandparents on his mother side. Both are gamma blooded. "So am i," Brooke said. You know his grandfather Trevor already.

His auntie Tara and Uncle Xander. Their daughter, how you have met Olivia, his cousin, and war general. This is his brother Trent he's 18 years old and his little sister Ellie, who is 16 years old. Trent is currently at university in Lake Moon Pack, and Ellie is about to finish her last year of high school.

"It's nice to meet you all," Alex and Brooke said.

You know his parents. Alpha Titus and Luna Elizabeth. Both his parents frowned. He was hoping his father wouldn't come.The meal was very awkward. Raven kept messaging Alex, asking how it was going. He took her phone and typed in. Let's go out after this. Handed it back to her, she smiled and nodded.

"So Alex, Brooke, what are you going to do with your time here?" Father said.

He was scowling at him. He mind-link him. "I'm trying to make an effort," he said. Alex put a hand on his chest. "I don't actually know. I have 5 language degrees currently on my 6th. I do have a teaching degree like my mother. She taught English literature and mathematics. We could help at the school"

"Sounds lovely, but you will be learning luna duties, Alex soon. When you've marked, we can start." Mother said.

Alex just smiled. "You don't want to learn," Father asked. "I wasn't raised to be a Luna but an alpha. I was meant to take over from my father. "

"You won't be here," Father said sharply. He growled, watch your tone Titus that's not at all what she meant. "Titus" he said. Yes Titus. Would you like to inform the current Luna why he will be in the future be calling you Titus only and if he feels generous, Alpha Titus.

Father said nothing. "What's this?" Do you want to tell her, or shall he? Father said nothing. Apparently, father favourite son, the good one, died, and he was stuck with him. Mother asked fathers unit if they were with him when father said it. Titus has said sorry but he hasn't taken back his words.

Mother eyes glazed over, and her face turned angry. She was talking to her unit. She came back to the table. He wasn't smiling. He was trying to get an upper hand. He was actually genuinely hurt by his fathers actions.

Mother punched him with all her force. He didn't get up. Alex went to, but he pulled her back down and shaked his head no. Grandfather Trevor picked him up by his throat and walked father out of the dining hall. "Tristan, I....." Mother started to say.

Mother, it's fine he said what he truly feels. He doesn't like it, but it's done now. Grandfather Sirus squeezed his shoulder. We continued to chat and talk about normal things. Then Grandfather Trevor appeared. "He's had a beating from me and is on the shaming post."

He exhaled Mother was upset. "I'm sorry, Elizabeth, but to say something so disgraceful to your own child, the Alpha that's punishment by law."

How long do you want him on they grandfather "That's up to you?" No, you've chosen to punish him it's your choice. "Leave him 48 hours and see if that gets him to realise his errors,"

Okay, well, he thinks this meal is officially dead. Alex said it was nice to meet them and hopefully see them again soon. He mind-link Raven, where are we meeting?

"Lukes." Perfect, he needs a drink. Alex, he's going to get changed. Let's go enjoy ourselves after this s**t show of a family meal. She nodded, but she still didn't say much. Alex, you okay?

"Yeah, I just feel like I've cause all this,"

Alex, you haven't cause anything. Father had a screw loose for years now. All you need to do is concentrate on your father and our meeting with Thornwick tomorrow. Nothing else is your doing okay. She nodded. She went to change herself.

He met her outside her door. She had a black and red playsuit on her heels she looked hot. We made our way down to the foyer. Olivia was waiting with his unit. Ready.

"Alpha, can we have a word?" Garret said.

"We'll meet you at the bar," Alex said, walking away with Olivia and Martina.

We heaed for his office. What's up? "Are you alright?" Raven asked. Yes, why? "Tristan, your father is on the shaming post. I know you're angry with him, but he's still on the shaming post. "

He didn't put him they grandfather did. Yes, it's not ideal, but he's drained by his father's drama, and it's not important right now. He's brought it all on himself he now just wants to help Alex. He walked out and left them all just standing in his office.

All soon catched up with him. He's get your concern, but he's fine. More important things are happening apart from Father dramatics. "He'll be on the shaming post when Alpha Thornwick arrives." Garrets said.

That's a tomorrow problem. He walked onto the bar. He saw Alex dancing with Olivia, Martina, and Portia elite warrior and Martinas cousin. She looked happy smiling and dancing away. We headed for our normal table and got drinks. Every cocktail on the list.

All the girls' faces lit up when they sat back down. "My treat," Alex kissed his check. All said. Thank you. It was fun it's how the first outing should have gone before he ruined it. His father's toxic behaviour flowed into him. He felt a hand on his cheek. He saw worried eyes in Alex. Sorry, he zoned out for a second. Shots? All cheered.

He got up, went to the bar ordered shots, and Killian walked. Killian, what are you doing here?

"Well, I was coming anyway. Then, my son informed me of my great granddaughter disrespectful behaviour."

The other? "I had a vampire contact him he wants to talk?" About "Deep Blue Lake" He doesn't understand."Deep Blue Lake is Alexandra pack. The vampires never changed the name. Oh s**t. "Did you say Deep Blue Lake?"

He turned to see a shocked looking. Alex. Oh s**t
