~Jaden~ “What do you mean we haven’t gotten a report from them yet?” I couldn’t yell it out and muttered those words the best I could as I stood right there with Kade in my fathers office. It was going to be mine very soon and I know I wasn’t alpha yet but it was our best shot at being secretive. “The report on training our mental focus was the last report I got and till nothing else.” He sounded as serious as he looked, staring back at me, trying his best to remain hopeful. I didn’t know what their plans were but I knew for sure that it was a lot of mess there and it was never looking so good there. I lied to all of them, I didn’t get personal reports on how each alpha’s were doing as apparently Molly’s both parents were there. I know it was quite hard to leave a mate behind but taking a mate along to a field of possible no return? That was something I’ll want to believe should be questioned but who am I kidding? It’s their decision and it shouldn’t matter to m
~Lily~ It’s been days and he still hasn’t showed up. Not like I was in any way concerned or bothered, in fact I was thrilled, a lot more relieved he wasn’t here. Even though I admit that I learnt faster with him doesn’t mean I enjoy seeing him. We got to have Kade lead us through the training, with the mental training partially pushed to the side. Something was up and I knew it. I just chose not to see it, since it didn’t in any way concern me. I was only here for the training it could get me so I could arm and prepare myself for when I leave. It was becoming so hard to really turn a blind eye to it as the training that was taking a good shape before, then all of a sudden looked like it sank. First slowly and now it was so visible, we couldn’t be like this if they were preparing for something very serious. I mean I think whoever wants to go to war should be well prepared, right? It was looking so much like a lot of effort wasn’t needed again and he didn’t c
~Lily~ “Hey mom! You made anything special today?” I asked playing it cool. Had to wait till the next day as it would be outright weird if I go ask her some underlying questions. She might catch right on since I never really stuck around more than when I came to take my food. And it wasn’t like I didn’t feel bad or anything about it. It was just that it felt strange and keeping my distance while maintaining our so-called fake status was the best I could do. “Are you trying to say that all I’ve been preparing wasn't special?” She uttered in shock like she was hurt, having her mouth wide agape, with her hand on her chest, acting like it was a direct blow to her heart. If I didn’t know any better I would have fallen for it but I laughed it off. “Come on mom, you know what I mean.” I stood behind her with my hands hugging her tightly from the back. I wouldn’t lie that there were many times I wished she was truly my mom. She was the best and I always felt guilty for
~Lily~ As I walked closer to the office dad always used as the Alpha and now was currently occupied and used by Jaden. I knew he was up here, this was the only place where he could stay without getting disturbed. I stood right outside the door, thinking through the odds of entering this office right now. If I knock, I might not be asked to come in since he’ll hear my voice. And if I barge in? I swallowed the words that wanted to escape my lips. I don’t want to think of anything negative right now. Something was up and I knew it and in as much as I didn’t want to care, the fact that it would affect us all was a grace warning and the right push I needed as I pushed the door open and stepped in. I locked the door behind me, my eyes travelling to find him seated behind a work table. This was my first time and wasn’t also the right time to take note of what was in here. I made my presence known as he didn’t look up even after I stepped in and I stood there fo
~Jaden~ I had lost count of how long I’ve been in here and it honestly didn’t matter. We still hadn’t heard from them but luckily my mama could still feel the mate bond though she’s extremely worried. It only left two thoughts in our hearts and it was either they couldn’t find a way to get reports to us or there wasn’t a report to get here and we knew the answer that came with this. It was quite obvious as they would send any reports no matter how light or not helpful it seemed. I finally stepped into the office myself even though everyone, especially Kade, already saw me as their alpha. It wasn’t inevitable. My pack needed protecting and that was exactly what they were going to get. I wouldn’t ever stand by the side and watch some unknown creature creep inside this pack and do any harm to the wolves under me. The blood moon pack was now a mixture of different packs. With werewolves who still had linking with their alpha’s who weren’t here. If the coro
~Lily~ Another day at baseless training since it wasn’t going to yield anything. I didn’t also say a word to Molly and didn’t tell the weird, strange, crazy thing that happened. I couldn't tell her since I didn’t even know where to start. She wasn’t aware why I went in the first place and how do I explain all those things he did? He’s never gotten that close to me and he sure as h*ll didn’t have that look of disgust he always wore before now. Something was definitely wrong and I don’t want to be caught by surprise. “So I heard some news that you guys have been slacking way behind recently. Is that true?” His voice was hard and firm, speaking like a true alpha, asking a question he knew no one would answer. His eyes darted towards mine with a glint in his eyes, which was definitely to mock me. It was quick and fast, didn’t linger around and I kept quiet too. “So you all can thank this lucky person for calling my attention to it and now we are going
~Lily~ I watched him move around before moving too. Wait.. he didn’t look at me? I was both shocked and confused as the only thought that rang out loud in my head was Raya’s own. ‘You almost got into a lot of trouble just now, you know?’ ‘Did he really let us go?’ I just needed to hear myself ask that. Even if this was to my advantage, it didn’t sound right. ‘Please no more real trouble until we get what we want. And right now we can only thank the moon goddess for making him forget about it.’ ‘Yes that was it, he forgot about it. No way he was letting me off the hook like that.’ She didn’t voice it out as it was widely known but she only wanted no more real trouble since everyone of them brought us too close to him and recently our experience with both hasn’t been too nice. We hated him but we couldn’t stop whatever it was that made that sensation flow and the fact that we were struck in an enemy-like position and we didn’t even try to push him off even tho
~Jaden~ “What’s the problem?” His eyes were looking so unsure as he stood still facing me like he saw something unbelievable. He still kept quiet, looking more like he wasn’t sure right now with the face he had on. We were done with today's training which I kept to my promise and let it span way into the day, giving them but little breaks in between. “This is going to be the last I’ll ask and you’ll answer me…. “ Before I asked the question again he spilled it out. “I think I heard him say something but I couldn’t pick it out.” His face wasn’t smiling but I could see the relief in his eyes. We confirmed from both our mama and we knew for sure that they were okay but just somehow not able to pass out information to us. “Good. Just be calm and be ready all the time. Something is preventing them from reaching out to us and I’m sure they have important information for us by now.” I gave out my orders, smiling a bit so he doesn’t have to pretend with me.
