Gone too far

I never expected my mother to ask me such a question in a hurry, she might have been curious but would want to keep the question for later. I coughed and hinted Ethan to take her inside and watch over her, the others followed.

“You didn’t answer me, Damien.”

“Just a girl I wanted you to meet.”

“Don’t tell me….”

“No, no, I’m not sure about that yet, I’m still thinking of what to do with her, since she’s not even having any qualities of being a Luna.”

“Of course she does. Bring her to me, let me see her well and touch her.”

“Mum, I’m not ready for this. I just wanted to keep an eye on her, that's why I brought her along.”

“I’m interested, she’s beautiful.”

“Yeah, just the beauty and then she’s not even anything close to being a warrior. You know how I do my things.”

“It’s for the best, and the freedom of the people in the pack. The last time everything changed was four years ago, now all we do is plan a war.”

“Yes, and that’s why I need to check through her properly before I do anything.”

“Well, all I see in your eyes is love, Damien. You just keep pushing it aside.”

“We’ll talk about her later. You called us here.”

“No, I called you here, not them. You just decided to bring them along.

“It’s for a reason.”

“And what reason is that? A pack of betas on a journey quite far from here,hmm?”

“Mum, don’t make it any harder.” The scent of the room filled me when I held her face to calm her down and stop the pestering about coming with my boys. Amelia on the other hand will be good with them around anyway. They all must have assumed she’s my mate and that’s why they are treating her nicely. But not cassie, she’s just doing her own thing I guess.

“Mum, I hold a great deal of protection with the pack and I fear if I do not do things right, it will turn the other way round. Silently, everything will be disfigured.”

“You should talk to Terry, he has traveled a lot to know more about the Silver frost. He’ll have better answers.”

“I’m really hungry, and I’m sure the boys would love to eat your food too.”

“I’ll tell Enny to bring you food soon.”

The horse’s neigh was so loud and their shadows were brightly fixed into the room. The spot my mother stood on captured a picture of them, though reality didn't make any difference.

“You brought horses?”

“Can’t travel by car, it’d be a lot of stopping by. This city is long on security, using the forests was better.”

“I can tell.”

We went up the stairs as we talked, it appears she has been planning the meeting with me for a long time and she spared no details. Everything she said was like she had it all sketched out. Her image was beautiful.

“That’s right. Nick has grown more than you think. I’m sure Scarlette will be happy that her son’s growing up well.”

“What can I say? There’s a mother here.”

“I didn’t do anything. Terry has been doing well in fathering his child. You know one time, he told me he misses his wife but Nick would talk to him and comfort him. Trust me, I’ve seen him move well.” I laughed heartily, it makes me happy to see my family are doing well.

“Alpha, we might need your attention here.”

“Excuse me, mum.”

“What did it mean?”

“The little boy keeps coming into our room and says he wants to play with her.”

“Her, you mean Amelia?”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“So? What’s the deal about that?”

“She refused to play with him and Nick is crying loud right now. She said you haven’t given the order to play with anyone.”

“Let her come out here.”

“And what are you going to do to her?”

“Mum? I’ll handle it.”

“Just give him the order and he’ll tell her what to do. She doesn’t need to come here.”

I took a deep breath and looked at Frank, he bowed and left immediately.

“Mum……”

“Don’t do that. Do not think about saying anything. You give the orders but not try to make them slaves.”

“I just wanted her to be fine.”

“It’s obvious you haven’t been treating her well, she’s too scared to even play with a child. And then I thought you had your humanity back.”

“Mum! I promise I wasn’t going to do anything to her.”

I have everything I need from my mum. I might have been a monster ever since Keila died. She was my peace, her smiles got me all the time. My mum has seen us once and more, she could tell I was falling in love and hiding it. I’m not going to love Amelia or give her the freedom she asks for, she might be my mate, but not one to enjoy such benefits. She should stay listening to me. I’ll do what I can to make her believe that I am not one to play with. She’s getting on my nerves, and I have to make sure she doesn’t get in the way, like Ethan had said. I must get back my revenge for Keila, and I’m sure that’s what she wants. To bring her back to lay in rest and peacefully.

My mother looked at me and shook her head.

“We have a lot more to talk about I guess.”

I just can’t imagine the last time I have been holding an offender on with a punishment. The pack hasn’t been healthy and I needed to change that. I’ve taken it too easy with them all. It's giving me so much headache already and Amelia isn’t making it any easier. My life so far has been hell inside until Amelia showed up and made it comfortable, so I thought.
