Packhouse:

Everyone was pacing up and down, it has been an hour now and Nick has been screaming his lungs out. His pregnancy is a difficult one and his wolf is also weak. He has been crying, and Martin has been trying his best, Antonio has also been helping by trying to revive his wolf. Neo is the only one who can help him and bring him back to life.

"Dad why is Uncle Martin taking long?" Ryder asks worried, he has tears on his face, and he doesn't even hide it, he has been crying since then. A long scream shouts from inside and everyone stays still and looks at each other, worry can be smelt here.

"I think I should go now; I need to meet the Rigid and get his help. Maybe he will be able to revive the wolf. Also, get Ryan here", Snow says and disappears into thin air, she arrives at the Mermaid Kingdom

"Where are the other ladies?" Ask Jason looking at his mate, he wants to spend time with him, but he knows that is not possible

"They went with Selena, looks like your daughter-in-law is the one responsible for his condition and your son's weird behavior. So now the woman went out to find her because she is trying to escape. You see when they find her, I promise you we as wolves will rip her out and then burn her body. Your Lisa deserves to die, and I'll gladly do it", you can sense the bitterness in Ryder's voice

Jason looks at them both in shock, he doesn't believe that the nice girl that is married to his son has the braveness in her to bewitch his son and his mate. Lisa is despicable, she deserves to die

In the Mermaid Kingdom:

Snow:

I went straight to her office and found her smoking while a young man was busy sucking her toes. I cringe in disgust; she is married for fucks sake!

"Maybe you should be loyal to your husband", I say crossing my arms and leaning against the wall, she looks at me with a bored look and whispers something to the idiot grinning like a fool

"Well this is my kingdom, and you should have announced your presence. What brings you here?" I roll my eyes and walk before her with a smirk and then peck her lips

"You shouldn't be cheating on your husband. He is surely in love with a wretched woman", I just insulted her not intentionally

"You should stop this crush you have on me", I just smile awkwardly, so she did figure it out. Damn, I should just get things done and leave here.

"I am planning too since now someone wants my life for a favor. I don't even know why he wants my life and what he will do with it", Nemy is confusing me and that is scaring the shit out of my living being

I am not going to be in any relationship right now, I just have to kill this mermaid witch after he gets me the Rigid.

"I am a wretched woman because I am not married yet, I don't even have a boyfriend so why shouldn't I enjoy myself with a dick or vagina?"

Did she just tell me the truth, so she is not married to him?

"Yes, I am not married, he was just a fling and we both wanted to see your reaction and we got it. Look, Snow, you are a good woman, you are even taking care of your rejected mate's child and making enormous sacrifices. Don't you think you deserve to be happy?" I have a lot on my plate to worry about love

"I do deserve to be happy and loved, but not right now. They need my help, and I would do anything to help them. Where is Nemy?" I ask with a hoarse voice

"He is coming back, he just went to get Nathan for you, and he will help you", must I carry on courting her or?

"So now that you are single, must I carry on crushing on you and fall in love or must I leave you?" She stands before me and smiles from ear to ear

"Nemy is my best friend and the moment he set his eyes on you, I backed away. Now I want you to do the same, get your eyes off me because someone has a big crush on you. He is just patient with you."

Damn! That was a huge revelation. The unpredictable guy has a crush on me, but I am gay.

"Look Snow, I know you are confused and don't know what to do or think, but please think about it. He is a nice guy and trusts me you both deserve each other, I'll find love along the way", she pulls me close and locks me in a hug, a welcoming one, I return it and the door slowly opens

"Snow, you are here?" There he is standing glory in his jeans and shirt with a scarf around his neck

"I am here for you", they walk toward us and the other guys are smiling from ear to ear

"I brought Nathan for you as promised. He is ready to help your son", my arms instantly land on his back in an embrace.

That was not planned.

"What are you going to do with my life?" I am curious, he has a crush on me and he just demanded my life for a favor, he can use my body for sex or he can sell me on the black market. Oh, moon Goddess what is going on?

"That is for another day, I will come for you when I feel like the time is right. Now that the Rigid is here, why don't we go back to your son and see what this man can do to revive them both", I move back and extend my hand to Nathan, I can feel his strong powers around me. Damn must be nice being Rigid and having powers

"Thanks for being here Nathan", I say putting a sweet smile and he just laughs

"No it is okay I just wanted to see the woman who stole his heart and it happened to be you Old witch. It is good that I came here because if you did come to my Coven, you would have been dead by now, you quite made a lot of enemies"

You see a lot of people know me, I have a lot of enemies, even this young kid.

"I know, all thanks to your friend who has a crush on me", Nemy looks at me with sincere eyes and I look away

"Well, Nemy I heard she is a good woman but was broken by her mate who rejected her. I hope you are still a good woman?"

"Stay around and you will find out", I boldly say earning a sneaker from Nemy and Destiny

"I wish I can, but then I love my girl very much to stay here and watch a woman prove herself good"

"Well, that woman is lucky enough. Keep her and don't hurt her"

"I was planning on doing so. Come let's get going"

Back in the pack house:

Jason:

I have been bored over death sitting here and watching them both pace up and down. Them being here and the pacing is making me feel very dizzy, and my mate has not eaten anything since then. I don't want him to get sick when he is already sick, he has diabetes. I am not sure whether he told his family about this, but he needs to get something to eat. I walk away from them and enter their kitchen; I still remember my way here from that night when I found out that he is my mate.

I look around and find a young lady wearing an apron opening the fridge and di clear my throat to get her attention.

"Uhm hi, can I help you, sir?" She stutters nervously, I guess she can feel that I am not a wolf, she looks at me with fear and I cringe at that. I am not scary, people!

"Please don't be scared I want to cook something for Alpha James, he hasn't eaten anything", she smiles and shows me a book full of recipes and I just chuckle and place the book back in her hands

"I know his preferred, don't worry. Just give me a few minutes and I'll be done", I say and began to do what I came for in the kitchen, she stands there looking at me, I don't mind at all.

After twenty-eight minutes I am done, and I dish out for him. Damn it smells nice!

"Wow! You must share this recipe. How did you do it? One time I made this for him, and he told me to never make it again because I don't know how to do it. I was so angry, and I never made it again", a laugh escapes my lips, and she also laughs

"Well he is choosy when it comes to his food, and you should go and give this to him. Tell him that you made it and he should drink his medicines after"

"Are you his true mate?" I gulp and go back to my stone-cold face

"Why are you asking?"

"Because everyone could see that his late wife was not his true mate and that every time you are here, he is happy, but he doesn't show it. You make him feel happy. Why are you not together?"

Why are we not together? We could have been together, but his stubborn self won't agree. How I wish to be free and love him but then he is just stubborn. I am done trying to fight for him, now he must fight for me.

"I think you should just give this to him Pam. Don't tell him I made it. I am going out for a smoke", with that I leave the tray in her hands and walked out of the kitchen, took out my cigarette, and lit it up

"Everything is messed up. I love him so much, but I can't be with him. Now we have to focus on our children before we even think about ourselves. Moon Goddess I want my mate, I need him I crave him. You have put us into a very different situation. Why can't we just reject each other?"

"Well because true mates can't reject each other"

"I want to have a normal life, happy with my true mate and children"

Talking alone won't get me anywhere, but I just need space from everyone, my kids will take care of themselves they know they can.

Something is not right. Why is there a big fire in the forest? And why does it sound like people are fighting?

Is this pack under attack?

Back in the pack house:

Ryder:

"Alpha we are under attack, some vampires are here, and they are not willing to back down. We have called other warriors and they want to take Nick and his child", Pilot's words interrupt me from this situation.

Now the situation is messy, Ryan has made my brother have a lot of enemies and now they are after his life and son.

"Kill them, where are the children?" I ask

"Alpha they are in the safe house. They have already killed many of our own. We need help"

"I'll be there as soon as possible", I turn and look back at my father

"Dad, the pack is under attack. Antonio, I need you to come and help install more powers on our wolf so that our warriors can defeat these bloody vampires", bloody suckers today they are going to see who they are messing with.

"I am also a vampire so don't say, bloody vampires. Now let's go and defeat some vamps", I just roll my eyes and shift into my wolf with him following behind me, we also go to the borders and start fighting

"Darling where are you? Why was I not informed about the attack?"

"Sofia baby, this attack is just small. Antonio is here with us, don't worry, just look after everyone else"

"Hell no, I and Selena will be there in a few minutes", with that she blocked our mind link. My wife is stubborn and the Luna of this Pack. She vowed to protect and love this pack, since my reign she has been doing a great job.
