Truth VS Lies

Chapter 5.

—Nathan’s pov—

Alright man, are you ready to see little Tatiana? I can hear her singing through the kitchen door. Say nothing. This is a rare moment she only sings when she’s by herself.

Ya sure Chase, I got it.

Chase walked into the kitchen silent as a mouse she wouldn’t of heard him enter anyway because she hasn’t gotten her wolf yet. Right now, all I see is her back, but it’s her singing that has gotten my full attention. I never knew she could sing. Her voice reminds me of that singer Amy Lee from Evanescence. Tatiana sounds just like her. Fucking amazing.

With goosebumps covering my arms, I felt Santiago lean in closer, just as captivated as I and Chase are. Wow! I’m officially jealous of the guy who gets to be her mate. Whoever he is, he’s a lucky as fuck! As her singing comes to an end, Chase calls out to her.

Tatiana, do you have a minute an old friend would like to speak with you?

The dishrag goes flying into the air as Tatiana screams. Oh my goodness, gamma Chase, you gave me a fright. I’m so sorry I did not hear you enter the room. Did I do something wrong? Am I due for punishment again? Please, whatever has angered the Alpha this time, can you please ask him to save the whipping until after my birthday? Please gamma Chase, please!

Calm down, shewolf. This is not what this is about. Now calm yourself. I was trying to tell you that beta Nathan is on FaceTime and would like to speak with you.

My apologies gamma! Did you say beta Nathan? Oh, I could cry right now. Yes, I would love to speak with him!

Great, heres my phone you can have a nice chat him with while I make myself a turkey sandwich. Is there still any of that cherry pie that you barked earlier for Zander?

There is plenty of pie left, sir. I know you love my baking just as much as the Alpha does. So I made sure to bake an extra one this time. It’s no secret that Alpha does not like to share.

Thank you Tati and you are correct that the man shares nothing… Here, take my phone. I’m sure Nate is annoyed by now. He has been waiting for about fifteen minutes to speak with you.

Thank you gamma! Hello beta Nathan!

— I could not believe my ears. I have reason to be concerned about her. Fucking Zander lied to me! He never ceased in harming her. As soon as I see him, his ass is mine! Hearing that after everything he has done to her, she is still doing nice things for him. Is it because she fears him, or is it more? Whatever it is, I’m going to get to the bottom of it.

I also have a bone to pick with fucking Chase as well. Clearly, he has been covering up for his Alpha. I know Zander he won’t put his hands on her, but he has no problem making his officials do it. There’s no way Zander’s gamma lasted being under his rule by being disobedient. He has been doing the alpha’s dirty work for him. If the alpha used his command on him like he did with me, then I can understand, but it’s no excuse. He could have told me of the truth. I glanced over at Santiago. He partially shifted into his wolf. Good thing the vip section is in a dark corner or everyone would see a very pissed off alpha. I mute the call since Chase has his phone in his pocket right now, anyway. You alright, big guy?

We’ll talk about it later. Unmute your phone Nate. I can hear him passing it to her now.

I unmuted the call when I looked at the screen and seen her arm reaching out for the gammas cell phone. She holds the screen up to her face. My Gosh, she is fucking gorgeous!

Hello beta Nathan!

Goddess Tatiana, it has been so long. I have missed you!

I have missed you as well, Beta; you have been away from home for so long. I thought you had forgotten me. To be honest, it hurt me for quite some time. I spent most nights crying myself to sleep, missing my protector.

Tati, please forgive me. I was under the impression that you were safe. But that is no excuse. I’m so sorry, my sweet girl, I should have done better. I am angry with myself for staying away from the pack without properly checking in on you.

Please do not be so hard on yourself. It is not your fault that they had misinformed you. Now enough of this topic of conversation. How have you been?

I am better now that I have seen your face.. Tati, the reason I wanted to speak with you is to tell you I’m coming home soon.

What do you mean, Nate? How soon are you talking about, like, in a few months, a year?

No sweet heart, I’ll be leaving for home in the morning. I couldn’t allow myself to miss seeing you shift into your beta wolf.

Oh, my goodness, how am I supposed to get any sleep tonight? I’m too excited to even think about closing my eyes! The birthday is going to be great. You know Shayla is going to piss her panties when she finds out her childhood crush is coming home!

Wait a minute, little Shayla used to like me?

Nate, how could you not know that? You must have forgotten how she followed you everywhere you went? To this day, she still wears the T-shirt she stole from you. The girl wears it to sleep most nights.

Haha, no way. Hold up. Are you telling me she took my favorite nirvana shirt? I looked for that shirt for weeks!

Yup, that’s the one and do not give her a hard time about it either. She really does like you, beta.

And you what about you Tati?

What about me? I never took any of your belongings.

No, I mean, do you like anyone? You know, do you have a boyfriend?

Shh, do not speak of such things. If the alpha hears you saying something like that, I will get punished. I am not allowed to date or have a mate!
