“Ill meet you two back at the Nova pack.” Stilts snorted and then vanished as well. Sion and I walked quietly together back to the Nova pack. Right before we reached the barrier he stopped and wrapped me in his arms. “I love you.” He said, k!ssing my forehead and then sliding to his knees to k!ss my stomach. “And I love you, my son.” He glanced up at me with a strange expression on his face. “Clover… do you regret this?” I looked down at him in surprise. “I know you wanted a normal life and”
“I just want a life with you. It will be our normal. I love you and the life we are building together.” I smiled as I ran my fingers through his hair. “l love you and the child you put inside of me.”
In a quick motion, he stood up and wrapped me in his arms. He covered my l!ps in an urgent, heated k!ss. My heart was beating wildly against my chest as the sweet tingles erupted over my body.
“Thank you, Clover, for staying by my side through all of this.”
“You are the only one for me, Sion. Now we will have forever together… I can love you like I want to.” I listened as Sion chuckled and he leaned his head on my forehead.
“This is why you are my perfect mate. You are the best decision l ever made. I am only able to embrace who I am because I know that I have you by my side. You are my strength, Clover.”
His l!ps covered mine again and my head began to spin. I never wanted this k!ss to end. I never wanted this feeling to stop. I never wanted anything to go wrong. This moment was perfect. I knew that we were about to head into something fierce. We had another tough battle in front of us and all we could do was hope everything was going to be alright.
One more big battle and we could hopefully have peace. I just hope we dont lose anyone close to us.
Sion and I finished explaining everything we had found out, including the demon changelings. The only thing we didnt mention yet was that we were expecting. There were warriors from the Diamond pack here, including their Beta Sam. He was very knowledgeable, and it was clear he had seen his fair share of battles.
Sam had a fresh perspective on the demon omegas. He said that just because they were demons didnt immediately make them bad. There are demons and half demons in the Diamond pack. One of them granted elemental powers to the Alpha King.
I guess in my mind, since they planted the demons there, this would automatically mean they were against us. However, Sam didnt agree. He felt that since they grew up with the pack, they could become loyal to them. Especially if they werent treated poorly. Sion surprisingly agreed. He said that everyone would be judged based on their own actions and being in control of themselves. Since obviously, we cant blame anyone for being controlled by the nembrant glass.
Speaking of the nembrant glass, Sam told us that they would be delivering nullifying scales to all the packs soon. These scales would prevent the nembrant glass from working. He also said that the fairy queen was working on a way to detect anyone who was under the effect of nembrant glass. This would also be something that the packs would get.
A solution was coming, but we still had to save the Chance pack and this was my show. No one else here had the ability to purify the nembrant glass. I have done it with Stilts and myself. I would now need to do it for the masses. It was a bit intimidating. I needed to be able to perform a task that I had never tried for the masses. There wasnt time for error, since lives could be lost. The pack would be there to defend me. They would try their best not to injure the controlled wolves, but they had to protect themselves first. If I messed up… many would be injured and killed.
Sion and Sam were discussing the layout around the Chance pack. They had a map drawn out and Sion was pointing at the best areas to enter. I was trying to pay attention, but my mind would keep drifting back to what I needed to do.
“I dont know anything about this man.”
I heard an angry voice and turned my head to see Gias father scowling at her. His jaw was clenched, and a small frown rested on his lips. While Gias brows were creased together, and she looked ready to fight.
“I need you to trust me,” Gia said, and her father let out an airy laugh.
“I trust you. It is him I dont trust. What do you mean he could be your mate? I have never heard of this kismet thing before. It is probably something he uses—“
“It isnt! And even if he is not my mate… this is my choice.” My eyes darted from Gia back to her father, Adam. I could see the veins protruding from his arms as he stood there like a mountainous figure.
“Gia. I think you are misunderstanding me. I am not telling you what to do. I understand that you are an adult and can make your own decisions. Im just saying it is my job to protect and keep you safe.”
“That is my job.”
My eyes widened as Conner stepped next to Gia, putting his arm around her. He met Adams gaze confidently and I swear the air felt heavier. Sion and Sam quit talking as they tuned in to the growing tension.
“Dad, I want to introduce you to Conner, the beta of the Chance pack.” Gias voice was level and calm. In fact, she looked relaxed and leaned more into Conners side.
I watched as Adams lips curled up as he scoffed. His eyes were focused on Conner, who held a confident gaze with him. “It will always be my job. My home will ALWAYS be her home—“
“Adam.” I watched as Sam stepped next to Gias father and then looked over at Conner. I was glad he was there to de-escalate the situation because it was looking rather tense. “Do you want to rough him up a bit and teach him who is in charge?” My lips parted as I stared at the two men. They didnt look like they were joking.
“Uncle Sam!” Gia clicked her tongue and moved herself more in front of Conner.
“It is okay,” Conner said, pulling her back to his side. “I am a lycan, after all. And they are just werewolves—“
“Naïve pup. We are werewolf officers to the Alpha King. You dont understand what that means, do you?” I watched as Sams lips twitched into a smile.
“It doesnt matter what it means to be honest. There is only one thing that matters… and that is the woman next to me. I would like to know what your issue is with me?” Conner said with a low growl in his throat. This was when Sion left my side and moved next to Conner.
“I can vouch for him. He is a good guy—” Sion started to say, but Adam cut him off.
“Doesnt matter. You could tell me he spends every day feeding the hungry and building shelters for the homeless… it wouldnt matter.” Adam said with a slight shrug.
“You decided you wont like me no matter what?!” Conner growled and Adam let out a low chuckle.
“I decided I wouldnt like you from the moment she was born. You had no chance. No man will ever be good enough for my baby…” Just when I thought the tension couldnt get any thicker, Adam finally smiled and looked over at Sam. “Just like I wasnt good enough for your sister. Ill never be good enough for her, but all I can do is try my hardest every day.” He looked back at Conner. “You will always fall short… but will you try your hardest every day to always fall short of being good enough?”
“Now that, we agree on,” Conner said as his lips tilted into a smile. “Ill never be good enough for her… but I will do my best because she is already perfect for me.”
“Good man,” Adam said, and the two clasped arms. Okay… what was this? Just some weird show of male testosterone?
“Daddy…” I watched as Gias eyes watered up and she had a bright smile on her face. She stepped forward and her father embraced her in his arms.
“Selfishly, I wanted you to stay with your mom and me. I wanted to always keep you close. I dont want to let you go even though I know you are ready. I am a bad dad for wanting to hold you back, huh?” Adam said in a hoarse, raspy voice that showed how emotional this was.
“No, you are the best daddy.” I watched as a tear trickled down her face as a small smile rested on her lips. “I wont be far away. I promise to visit all the time.” I watched the two of them and could see the family love they have for each other. I was happy to be with my mate. It wasnt bittersweet for me at all. I wonder if it would have been like this for me had my parents been alive. This was part of life for everyone, but for those with mates it was more drastic. Usually, it all happens so fast. There werent months to get used to the idea. You find your mate and, instantly, you belong to each other.
“No need to get emotional now.” Sam chuckled and smiled at the two of them. “You can share your parting words later when it is time. Though, I dont want to be around when Susan releases her waterworks.” He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck.
I watched as Adam squeezed his daughter tight and then kissed the top of her head before pulling away. Adam and Conner were looking at each other now. Conner placed his arm around Gia, bringing her back to his side.
