Not my mate

The instant that Marxell got out of the room, I stared at Beta Caleb intently. I now understood why Devon told him that he looked constipated. The man was serious...had deadpan eyes. Not a single ounce of humor was seen on him. The Caleb that I have known for years had somehow disappeared. Caleb glared at me when he noticed I was staring at him. I could not help but smirk.

"You really looked constipated Caleb." I told him. Caleb rolled his eyes and tried to ignore my comment. He walked towards Devon's table and placed more paperwork for him. I smiled in response. "For someone who have found their mate, you looked uncomfortable." I added.

"How do you think should I react Luna Ayumi?" He seriously asked me. He stared at me. I felt the urge to laugh but tried my absolute best not to do so.

"To be fair.... You looked like Devon, when we first met." I spoke which made Devon's narrowed his eyes. I looked at my mate and could not help but give a mischievous grin.

"Since when did I looked like your mate, Luna?" I heard Caleb ask.

"Well....when Devon and I first met he kept denying me. For some reason...He and you. both of you looked constipated..." I could not help but laugh. I was clapping and laughing, I almost fell from the couch.

"Oh, my goodness, be careful Love" I heard Devon as he assisted me back to my seat. I glanced at Devon; I could tell he was also holding his laugh. Caleb wrinkled his knows then stared at me and Devon his furrowed brows. Then he took a deep breath.

"You too are really meant for each other." I heard Caleb comment nonchalantly. Devon tried to pacify me by putting his finger on his lip. Silencing me off then he winked at me. I nodded in response. He then faced Caleb who looked unbothered by the jokes that I had told. Caleb was never serious when we talked privately, and then this mood of his now was amusing to me.

"Have anything you want to talk about." I heard Devon asked Caleb.

"I was about to inform you that the rest of the warriors who were with Luna when the attackers came had no contact with their own wolves. I felt relieved that your wolf had resurfaced now. It might take some time for the warrior's wolf surface because they sustained wound unlike the Luna. I felt assured now since your wolf Alora is fine." I heard Caleb reported.

"Marxell, had quite an interesting observation regarding that. The witches have somehow affected those who have wolves with their spell." I answered Caleb.

"Do we have a written record about the witches, Luna? We are fighting blindly with those people. We do not have elders to ask to. If they manage to get close to us, we might really get fucked up." I heard Caleb.

"I am afraid we have limited record about the witches because the books we possessed about coven and witches were burnt when the original pack house was bombed by Tibolo pack. As per Marxell information, records of such were available at their territory." I answered.

"But we do not want to risk Marxell and whoever escort her to go outside until Marxell can defend herself. Ayumi offered to train her." Devon added. Caleb nodded then glanced at us.

"Then I will train her rigorously until you are able Luna." Caleb uttered. I could not help but grin.

"Hmmm I am never going to get used to this kind of Caleb. Please bring back my Caleb.... Your too stiff...." I jokingly answered. Devon furrowed his eyes brows and glared at me.

"Please do not use that endearment to others love.... My.... My... Caleb. That was supposed to be my Devon only." Devon jealously responded. I saw Caleb eyes rolled and sighed in annoyance.

"You could have at least wait for me to get out before you started with those lines Alpha." Caleb complained. Devon crossed his arms across his chest then stared at Caleb.

"Your just jealous!" Devon commented.

"Whatever, I will let you be before I start to feel nauseated." I heard Caleb say. "I will monitor the warriors and report to you soon if any progress has been made." he added.

"Go to your mate now." Devon answered.

"She is not my mate." Caleb declared.

"Shhhhh... you'll regret it if she hears you." I uttered which made Caleb look worried.

"Just be yourself man." Devon spoke.

"As if you were yourself then." I commented. Devon just smiled at me. Caleb shook his head.

"Anyways... I will let you be. Could you communicate with your previous pack? Things were all good for two years and somehow, they have gone even crazier than before." I heard from Caleb which made Devon sigh.

"Can you believe these?" Devon said then glanced at me. "My beta is bossing me around." Then he smiled. "Since you are dear to me and Ayumi, I will let you be. To give you an insight, I could not contact anyone I know from my previous pack. Somehow my communication with them is completely severed." Devon explained.

"How about Alpha Luca?" I had to ask. Luca was Devon's previous beta and was his best friend.

"I am afraid I cannot contact him either. As much as I want to go back and sneak at my old pack. It will be risky for me to leave our pack nor allow our warriors to spy in lieu. Having witches' presence at the Tibolo territory is quite risky." Devon answered.

"Then we need to prepare all our warriors even the youngsters for combat with your old pack." I quickly uttered.

"I am really sorry for this Ayumi." I heard Devon uttered. "If I have not left that pack, no one would have threatened this pack." I heard Devon said. I reached for Devon's hand and squeezed it.

"No one should be blamed but only those who intend to harm us. I knew your father was greedy, but how would you know how crazy Javier could get." I answered Devon.

"How did Javier managed to get the witches to work with him?"
