Chapter 16

Cean left with a promise to himself that he will talk to his mate, he met Timron with a group of pack guards his friend selected, they entered the car and drove off, wealth was never the issue of the alpha, wealth, generations of wealth has been passed down, investments in different part of the world both humans and non-humans alike. He built his own wealth too and he was contended that his people and his immediate family will not lack.

“Timron did you inform the seer sect that we are coming?” he was looking at his watch calculating the time it will take him to return to his mate.

“I did not sir, I wanted to surprise them with your coming, its being a while sir”.

“Yeah, I know”.

“Sir please be nice” he looked at his friend and noticed that he was not ready to forgive the seer sect but was doing everything for his mate.

“I will do my best, but no promises”.

“Larima is very old, be careful with her”.

He gave him no answer, he closed eyes and decided to rest for the journey, he was exhausted, with what’s coming and worry for his mate, the pressure was heavy and he was not sleeping properly.

He felt a tap and he opened his eyes

“Sir, we have reached the boundary, but if you want to rest a little everyone can wait”.

“No am fine, lets get it over with, and don’t like feeling this far from my mate”.

He came down from the car and released his power in full force, everyone felt even the animals around felt there was a predator in their mist, and that alone was enough for the entire sect to know the alpha has arrived.

A big crowed began to gather, and everyone went on their knees, their sect was so small and he noticed that they lacked in so many things and he felt pity and bad, he wanted to punish them but not to this extent, they could live well and healthy and still take his punishment, not having the ears and attention of the alpha, is a big punishment itself.

The last person to arrive was Larima, she was with her walking stick, with two other men trying to support her to stand, she was trying to walk faster and tears was running down her face. He withdrew his power and walked towards her so she could stop walking fast. He reached her first and she was going on her knees but he stopped her, that made her cry more, she was so fragile and short, age told on her, he held her hand gently and wiped her face with the other hand.

“How have you been Lima”. He used the name he once called her, when he was so young.

“How could you do this to me? how could you be so angry at me? Yes I made a mistake and deserve your punishment, but so long you stayed young and ignored me, your mother and everyone in this sect”.

He just held her and let her cry, she was shaking badly and he carried. He pointed to someone, “show me her house”.

She kept crying and continued. “I know am not your birth mother, but you are mine by heart, I nurtured you, I just wanted my son to look at me and forgive me, but for thirty years you ignored me, you punished all of us, for something only I did, innocent kids starved, pregnant women starved, the old starved, what did I teach you? Nothing?

“You taught me many things Lima”. He felt small in her presence again

“But what are the five most important thing I taught you, in other to be a good leader?”

“Feed and respect the elderly, feed and care for the children, respect and care for the pregnant women, protect my territory and respect and love my mate”.

“And wish have you done boy? Which one? because I can prove you wrong in all ramifications”. He just smiled and did not respond, he carried her to her house and sat her down on a chair, she was really living poorly.

“Am angry at you Lima but I never meant for it to go this far, I will rectify my mistake today”.

He called in Timron and whispered something to him then turned back to Larima. "Am still angry but you taught me a lot not to know or do my duty”.

“Am I allowed to defend my people not myself but my people at least, you owe me that”.

“I owe you nothing”. He finally lost his cool and shouted. “You hurt me in ways I cannot fathom, the woman that I loved more than my own birth mother, how can I ever trust you again”. The glasses around him started cracking and all fell to the ground , he walked out angrily before he does more damage.
