He woke up to his phone ringing and it was granfather Mitchell. Grandfather, what's wrong. "I just had an interesting conversation with a young man called Devon. He told me about the fires that were happening in the pack. What's going on, Caspian?"
He was trying not to worry you. "Well, I am?" He can't talk about it here. He will come visit you today. "Okay, now you have me worried," Grandfather hung up.
He mindlink Trey. We are going to the spa. Are you up? "Yes, making luna breakfast she's in the shower."
Is she okay? "I think so slept fine. Eden training. Winter is coming now. So get dressed and meet me here, "
Okay, he shaved and got dressed. Knocked on Trey door and entered. Trey, we have a last-minute meeting with Golden Oak spa. It's important that it can't be missed. He turned to Winter. He won't be long a few hours if you want to talk call him. Then he realised she didn't have his number.
He grabbed her phone, put his number, and called himself. If you need him, dont hesitate to call. You will be safe. Ziggy and Harry are staying here, and your father is here. See you soon. She just nodded.
He went to his office to grab his laptop, and Curtis was waiting for him. Hello Curtis, what can he do for you. "About last night. He was a bit much, but I have Winter best interest at heart."
Okay. "Is that it?" Curtis asked. What would you like him to say? If he's completely honest. He doesn't care if you like him or not. He's not giving up on winter. She knows that. He will give her space. She now has his number while he's out today. If you need anything, Ziggy and Harry are here in the pack. Their office is next door.
'Where are you going?"
It's a pack related business, and he's not required to tell you. He will be back in a few hours. If you wish to talk again, then we can. If you dont mind, he really needs to go.
He walked past Curtis and went outside. Winter was walking downstairs and saw them getting into his car. He smiled at her, and she did the same. Her father came out of his office and asked to speak to her.
She started to walk away and then turned to thank Trey for breakfast. He was slightly jealous he wanted to make her breakfast. They got in the car and got on with their journey.
Trey was staring at him. "What?" Nothing. "Caspian What?" Nothing, it's just you made her breakfast. "So?" Nothing. "Caspian, nothing to be jealous about. I'm not interested in her that way. She's our luna and Edens' best friend. Eden has already told me if Winter leaves, so will she too."
What did you say to that?
"That I would leave with them keep them safe. I spoke with Winter this morning explained you didn't know who she was when you scented each other only after Alpha Kane explained. You decided to clear the air because of who he father was but not to gain anything but for a fight to not happen."
What did she say.
"I think how you behave and what you say she knows it's not on purpose, but he words were its disheartening,"
He understands. He annoyed with himself. Curtis doesn't approve of him. He can feel it. "You have time to prove him wrong. So what's this meeting about?"
Grandfather heard about the fires and wanted to know why he wasn't told and who's doing it. He told him we needed to talk in private. "Okay,"
We were just about to drive through the pack when Winter texted him asking for dinner plans. He agreed without hesitation.
"See, just go with it," Trey said.
He called his mother. "Hello son what can she do for you." Mother, could he have a few favours from you? "It depends on the favours. " He's having dinner with Winter and her father tonight. Nothing over the top. Would you pick him up from the bakery. A apple pie, chocolate fudge cake, strawberry cheesecake, and a bunch of her favourite roses.
"Of course, son. Where are you now?" He's in a meeting, he'll update you when he gets back. "Okay, son, i can sort that for you,"
His grandfather tapped on the window. We all headed inside. "So tell me what's been going on."
We've had 4 fire in the pack. 2 in the weapons room. Equipment shed and practice tunnel. All when he was away, and Gilly was left incharged.
"You think it's him?" Grandfather asked.
He does, and every time, on his way back, he is attacked by rouges.
"Why him?" he asked.
He doesn't know it's just a gut feeling. "Well, I suggest you fake a trip and put eyes on him. "
He won't put Winter in danger. "Well, send her on a trip or here for a few days, but do go tell her the truth she'll understand." Grandfather suggested
He will tomorrow. He would like to get through this meal without any drama. Winters father doesn't like him.
"Who wouldn't like you? what's his name?" Grandfather asked annoyed.
His title is RKG War General Curtis Frost. His grandfather eyes went wide. "Are you serious? That's who my new granddaughter is related to. That's good and bad. Yes, get on his good side. He has strong backing that could destroy our pack in seconds. "
He knows that's what the issue is. Curtis doesn't think his feelings are genuine. "I could see that they are. If he takes a step back and actually looks, he will see that,"
Hopefully. So he will speak with Winter and tell her what's going on, and his unit leave it at that. He'll set out to bring her group of friends out here. He'll invite her friends back home to meet us at the spa. He will jump out halfway. Scent block himself and watches from afar see what's happened.
Trey and Ziggy can go with Winter and Harry with him. "Why, Harry?" He has brilliant eyesight can see further than anything wolf he knows.
"What are you going to do if you are right?" Grandfather asked concerned.
Well, find out why and who he is doing it for. He's not smart enough to do it on his own. "Torture?" Hopefully not, but he will get answers. Winter is special he needs to keep her safe.
"All mates are special son,"
Grandfather, this goes no further. Winter is a special shifter she can transform into 2 different beasts. She's a special hybrid. He won't be telling you what that's for her to say.
"Okay. That's new information,"
Yes, if anything happens to her. Her father will rain down terror on us all, and if it comes that it's Gilly and Winter gets hurt. He will hand Gilly over to Curtis without a second thought. Grandfather nodded and exhaled. Grandfather, what is it?.
"I just should have done more. Especially after your father died. I didn't raise Gorden, right? "
It's not your fault. Father was just who he was. If we play, if I did that or I did this, we'd all be to blame. Just let it go. it's been 20 years. Gilly was only 3 when Father died. He may hold resentment towards him and the pack, not you.
"What if he asks why you are here?"
That's he's organising a surprise for winter. Technically, we are, but she'll be in on it. "Good plan. We let me know when,"
He hugged his grandfather and told him he needed to get going due to the meal with Winter and her father. He got in the car with Trey and fully exhaled.
"What's wrong?" Trey asked.
He knows he will have to deal with Gilly if it's him that trying to hurt the pack.
"Are you going to be able to? He's still your brother,"
He knows he will deal with it when it comes to it. He arrived back at the pack. His mother was waiting for him. Mother, what's wrong?
"Nothing. I wanted to go with you to the meal and meet Winters father."
Mother, you weren't invited it will be strange showing up with you. "Oh pish posh. We will all be family soon,"
We drove down to Winters aunt's home. He grabbed the flowers and pies. Mother, are you sure about this?
"Yes, now shush and knock,"
He did. Winter answered, and he could tell she was trying to hide her shock of his mother here.
"Luna Hara, I wasn't expecting you,"
"Hello dear, I hope it's alright. I invited myself, and I really wanted to meet your father," Mother said.
"Of course, do you like steak?" she asked. "Oh yes, I do."
Caspian mouthed sorry to her when walking in. "Follow me please," Winter said.
He saw Curtis stand. Good evening Curtis, shaking his hand. Curtis, this is his mother, Hara and Mother. This is Curtis Frost. Winters father. She shaked his hand. Curtis huffed.
"So you need Mummy to help, do you?"
Winter gasped, "Dad?" Caspian laughed no, but she has a tamper that might see yourself get bitten. Curtis frowned. His mother addressed him.
"Curtis, for your information, I invited myself since we are going to be family. I thought it would be nice to meet, but clearly, I was wrong. I would have thought you had better manners and etiquette working for the kingdom, but obviously, now. You are judging my son before actually taking the time to get to know him. He's not had the best past, but none of it was his fault it was all handed to him."
"He handled it with maturity and grace. He has been trying very hard to win winter over. We are both wasting our time." Mother looked at him then to Winter.
"Caspian, is my opinion important to you?'
Yes, mother, of course it is, but he wouldnt give someone up because you didn't like them.
"Good, I agree, but can we say the same for Winter? Clearly, her father wants her to be alone and solely dependent on him. He's her only parents she's going to pick him. I'm sorry, Caspian. That's what I feel."
Caspian nodded. Winter said nothing, and Curtis looked angry. "I will go. Thank you, Winter, for allowing me to join, but I think I will leave. See you later, son. Curtis," Mother said, leaving.
Caspian exhaled. Thank you for arranging this meal, Winter, but he's going to go see if his mother is okay. He's sure you understand. He turned to Curtis. If you would like another discussion, he'll be in his office tomorrow morning. 9am.
He walked out. Mother was right, Curtis is never going to accept him, and Winter is going to please her father over him. Mother was waiting for him outside by the car.
"Are you alright?"
Yes, he's good you? "Yes, I'm sorry. I did that, but they both need food for, thought. He needs to let her go, and Winter needs to stand up for herself."
He's tired Mother lets go home. He headed straight to his suite and showered and climbed into bed. His phone chimed. "Hi, I thought I'd text in case you didn't want to hear me in your head. I'm sorry about my father. I've realised he's never going to try is in constant war general mode.I did want you to distant yourself from me, " Winter.
It's okay. Let's talk tomorrow he's shattered, and you can mindlink him anytime. Winter, he would never stop you.
