BACK IN TIME WITH MY ALPHA

Chapter 3 The Sorcerer's Daughter's Request

“Dad,” Maureen finally all out when they were out of sight of the Noona Pack.

“Yes dear.” Her dad replied.

Maureen had been quiet all the while as they walked back to their quarters. It was quarters for the slaves. It stunk badly and was always untidy, but theirs was slightly better. Better only in terms of the space allocated to them, considering the various magic and favors her father did for the pack.

Another reason being that they needed more space to contain all the ingredients her dad conjured.

She had been deep in thought ever since Isabella asked her dad to help them time travel.

At first, she thought her dad was going to see it as an impossible feat but was surprised when he had told them it was possible.

Then an idea came to her immediately.

She had always had a secret crush on Eric. He was so tall and handsome. He was also very gallant. He and Isabella suited themselves just fine.

She had wished every day that she could be made beautiful so that perhaps one day he would notice her and request that she be his mate and then go ahead and do away with Isabella.

In truth, she had always been jealous of Isabella. At her old age she was still obviously the most beautiful of the entire pack. She had always wondered how that was even possible.

She, Maureen would always wish before she slept for the day that Eric could be hers one day, though she knew there was very little chance of that ever happening. She was not only ordinary in looks, but she was also a slave. She did not even have a right to a mate now that she was eventually ripe enough.

If my dad could take the Alpha and Luna back in time, he could also take me to be with them and make me appear before Eric as the most beautiful. Maureen thought.

“I would also like to do a time travel.” She said, looking at her old father.

Lucas glanced at her and smiled. She always came up with strange requests. Most especially the ones he could never do for her.

“I’m serious dad,” Maureen said, stopping this time and causing her father to also stop and face her.

“Why would you ever want to do that?” he asked.

“Because I would like to be with Eric. I’ve always had a crush on him, dad,” Maureen confessed for the very first time to her father.

Lucas looked around quickly, hoping no one heard what his daughter had just said, then turned to face his daughter sternly. Surely she did not know what she was talking about. She was still too young to know that this very statement could bring about her quick death if heard by any member of the Noona pack.

He quickly got hold of her hand and dragged her along with him. He was not going to let his daughter’s foolish words send them to their early graves.

“Please dad. Do this for me. Will you?” She said, not backing down. Her long black and unkempt hair stuck to her body due to the sweat from their walk.

“I’m sorry Maureen. I love you more than anything in this world, but I would definitely not do such a thing.”

“Why dad? Please dad,” she begged. “I know I am a slave. Destined to a life of servitude to the Noona pack. I will never have a mate in my lifetime. This will be the only opportunity for me to ever be happy in my lifetime.

Lucas remained silent. She was right. She was destined to a life of s*****y and servitude. She was all he had after her mother died in that battle his former pack had with the Noona pack. It was the same battle that he had Maureen had been taken prisoner.

“Let’s keep moving, Maureen,” Lucas said, eager to be far away from the pack as much as possible.

“Okay dad.” Running after him. “But will you do it? Please dad. I’ll like to be happy once in my lifetime. At least you owe me that.” She finally said, stopping to look at him seriously.

“What exactly do you want from me, Maureen? We can’t afford to get into trouble. I am at the brink of requesting our freedom and seeking a place with the pack.”

“All I want, dad, is for you to take me to be with Alpha Eric and Luna Isabella. I want to be the most beautiful female his eyes have ever beheld. Is that too much for your precious daughter to ask her magician father?”

“Maureen, your request is risky. It can cause us our lives. If Alpha Eric gets to find out that I used my magic without his permission, he is going to get us killed.”

“He will never find out dad. I will surely come back before he and Isabella get back. I promise.”

Lucas stood still for a while thinking of his daughter’s request. Then took off again.

“No Maureen. It’s too risky. I won’t do it,” he said.

“All my life I have never asked you for anything. I stood and followed every instruction you gave to me. Now, for the first time, I ask you for a favor, and you turn it down.”

“Ask me about something else Maureen. This one is too risky for us.”

“Remove me from this life of misery, dad. I want to be a member of a pack and not a slave. Can you do that for me?”

“I.. I plan to…”

“No dad. You are not even sure that your request will be granted by the Alpha when he gets back. It is unheard of that a slave finally became a member of the pack he was once a slave in.”

“I’ve served them for so long now, Maureen. He is a good man,” Lucas said, not sure anymore. His daughter was right. This could be the only opportunity for her to be happy. It was within his power to give her temporary happiness. Time travel was a temporary thing. Those who embarked on it and tried making it permanent, experienced grave consequences.

“Okay Maureen. I’ll do it as long as you promise to abide by the conditions.”

“Yes dad I will,” she said, giving him a kiss. “I’ll surely come back before the six months elapse.”

“And dad.” She started to say.

“What is it this time Maureen?” Lucas asked impatiently.

“Don’t forget to make me the most beautiful thing Eric has ever seen. I want to be more beautiful than Isabella and I want to appear where they are.”

“You mean Alpha Eric and Luna Isabella?”

“Yes, dad, but they won’t be Alpha and Luna now, would they? I’m just trying to get used to not calling them that. For now. So dad,…”

“Yes dear. I’ll do as you have wished once we are back at our quarters.”

It was not until Lucas had sent Maureen on her own time travel that he realized that he hadn’t thought of what to tell the pack if they asked for Maureen.

Lucas immediately felt hairs on his body stand.

He could be considered dead if Beta Fredrick ever found out what he was about to do.
