A mothers’ love

Eros

Eros POV: I am still pissed at the councils decision to postpone my ascension ceremony until after I found my mate. I was trying to get some more tire lifts in then I suddenly felt this extreme overwhelming feeling of exertion, I could barely stand, all I knew was that I needed to get home immediately. I called one of the betas to come get me as I do not feel safe driving in my current condition. We arrive at my house and I use what little strength I have to run to my bed in hyperspeed and I drift off to sleep the moment my head touch the pillow. I hear a knock on my door I woke to see that it is a quarter to six.

Eros: “Yes”

Frances: “It’s me little Alpha, dinner is ready, your mom wants you at the table tonight.”

Eros: “okay thanks Frances.”

“She’s here” my wolf whispered, as I dredged out of my bed still feeling lethargic. I sit back down on the side of my bed truly thinking about what my wolf just proclaimed. I am terrified, I don’t know what to expect. I can smell my mate, I don’t understand how or why she’s here but she is. Being that this is the Alpha estate and the pack house is also on grounds it’s not uncommon for us to get a lot of visitors but they’re usually announced prior to their arrival. I head towards the door and I can hear my mom speaking with another, her voice is so soft and melodic. She stifles a laugh at an off handed joke my mom makes about our grounds keeper. She is mine, all mine. I can feel it. Can she feel me? Can she smell me? I let them pass and I use the back staircase, dedicated to the house staff, through the kitchen to the dinning room. I bump into my dad who has just walked in, I see my twin brothers Amiaz and Ezekiel already sitting at the table and my sister Raquel walking in.

Raquel: “well hello Eros, I thought hell would have to freeze over before we’d see you at another family dinner”

Eros: “cute Rocky, how’s uh, is it James this week?”

Raquel is older than me by a year. She still has not found her mate, but she’s been looking diligently since she turned 22. Though, of course until she finds that poor unlucky soul, she keeps some loser around to keep her company.

Raquel: “ha ha, it’s John thank you,but you knew that since you train with him.”

Eros: “that’s right, he is one of our betas, a trusted family friend, a little close for comfort don’t you think sis?”

The twins laugh

Raquel: “just keeping it casual, I figure that’s better than trying to marry someone else’s mate.” She says shrugging her shoulders

Amiaz and Ezekiel: “oooh”

Romero: “that’s enough you two!” My dad says slamming his fist on the table. “Now your mother has brought home some guest today and I want you all on your best behavior.”

Guest? I think to myself silently. My mother enters the room and alongside her walks in my mate.

Luna Sandy: “children, husband, I would like you to meet Amelia and her lovely daughter Lilly.”

Amelia looked up from the floor and gave everyone a quick glance and a smile that made my heart skip a beat. She was magnificent.

The twins who had just turned 17 seemed just as enamored by her beauty as everyone one else. I could tell by their matching devilish grin and playful shoving that they were going to say something really dumb.

Amiaz: nice to meet you Amelia, why are you here? where are you from? I could see that Amiaz question made Amelia feel very uncomfortable.

Amelia: I …uh .. I … we’re

Eros: you don’t have to answer that. I said jumping up quickly to stand by her wanting to hold her in my arms to simply reassure her with my presence.

I could tell by the way she looked up at me that she knew, or at least her wolf knew and was relaying the message, as did mine. I grabbed a chair and pulled it out for her to sit when I my attention was automatically redirected to Lilly. She smiled at me and I could feel the thick layer of ice I had wrapped my heart begin to melt instantaneous. She was the spitting image of her mother. A tad lighter as her mom had a honey brown skin tone, but she had wavy jet black hair same as mine and green eyes like me. Lilly could easily be my…our daughter. My heart ached for Amelia, was Lilly’s father the reason she was here alone? Did he do something to her? I couldn’t smell him on either one of them which is strange especially considering Lilly’s age. A pup can easily carry the scent of both parents until age 10 or longer in some cases. Lilly only had her mother’s scent.

Amelia sat down in the chair I had pulled out for her, her eyes never leaving me and mine slowly coming back up from Lilly’s to hers. I don’t know how long we were like this for but it must have been a minute or two. This feeling was indescribable. The room froze; it was only myself and Amelia. These moments felts like precious rubies. My mind knew they would be over soon but my heart kept telling me just to enjoy it while it lasted. Before I knew it my father was clearing his throat drawing our attention back to the room and the awkward silence that stood before us. I grinned at Amelia and motion Raquel to move down a seat so that I may sit next to Amelia. I was not about to go back to my seat across the table. Surprisingly Raquel was kind enough to accommodate the new seating arrangements without even a bit of sass. She’s either in a really good mood or is going to ask mom and dad for something tonight. 9/10 it was the later.
