Garrett entered the conference room where the whole 11 pack leaders of Saint Kitts and Nevis were seated. The 11 Alphas stood up when the Alpha king walked in and had his seat at the head of the conference table, after then did they all sat down. Garrett looked round the table and checked the list with him to confirm if each packs were represented by their rightful Alphas. He then closed his book and sat back in his chair.“Congratulations on finding your mate” someone spoke up, Garrett recognized him to be Alpha Isaac of the Moonshadow pack Murmurs filled the room, he could hear them clearly and they knew this fact. “You found a mate, that’s news” Alpha Anon of the Skyline said“You got your own mate recently too” Alpha Dix of the Moonblood pointed to Alpha Anon, the two glared at each other.“Enough of that” thundered Garrett, before everything gets out of hand. The place went quiet immediately. “I did not call for this meeting to talk on the matter of mates” he informed them“Wha
Garrett heard the ladies in the common room, he just came back from his meeting with the pack Alphas, it got his interest, who were they looking for, he went to check if it was nothing too serious that does not need his attentionGarrett saw Lois standing at the entrance, he could tell those in the common room by their scent, Nani, Ruth, Catherine, her son, Miguel, Caroline the head of the Omegas in the pack, he stopped behind Lois and made his presence known.“Who are you looking for?” he asked them and from their guilty and surprised look, he had his guess, since he could not smell her anywhere near there.Lois turned to him and her expression said it all, but he had to hear it from them, no one answered his question which annoyed him more. “I asked, who you were looking for”“Garrett…”Nani started “You are back”He gave her a keep quiet look and she went quiet, he faced Lois and asked her again “Who are you looking for?”“Emily” Lois said, he was not going to blame her right? Caus
Davies knew Lois was not happy about his choice of tutoring for Emily but he had to pick the best for her, for the course she chose. Allen was the best option, it has been over 3 years now and he hoped that Allen should have been over the fact that Garrett could never love her, a look at Lois told him that she was not accepting his explanation or seeing things the way he was seeing it.He walked ahead of her and she followed him, trying to tell him how bad his decision is, he did not answer her and she got angry at him, she walked passed him to their room and went straight to bath and to bed without talking to him again, not that he mind, he knew by tomorrow she would have let go of her anger.The following morning, Emily got dressed and went for her morning exercise with Lois, she noticed that Lois was in a bad mood and not saying much. Emily wondered if she was the cause, Nani was feeling too weak to join them in the gym, Emily made a note of visiting her later after breakfast.On
Catherine looked at Lois, wondering why Emily is asking if giving birth was painful, she looked at Emily, who was waiting for her to answer. It was not that painful was it, when she thought about her unborn child, how she couldn’t wait to hold him in her arms. Was Emily thinking about going through pain when she finally wants to give birth of her own kid? It would take a miracle for that day to come.Emily was still waiting for answers, she saw the two exchanged looks but she said nothing, she wants to know how it feels to be in labor and finally your child is in your arms.“Well, it was a little bit painful, you have a lot of pushing to do, but half the whole time I had Peter there comforting me and the thought of holding little Miguel in my arms did the final trick, I pushed with all my strength, forgetting the pain and there I heard his small cries, so the pain is all in the process of having what I am looking for” Catherine said hoping she has passed the right message across to
A voice Emily was not expecting to hear that night called, she watched as Garrett joined them, he was glaring at Drake who glared back, leaving Emily in the middle.It was as if they were communicating with their glares, no words were spoken. She wondered what was going to happen next, was Garrett going to be angry at her for speaking with Drake? Was he going to shout at her? Or he would find someone to blame as he usually do, when she was involved.“Finding fault in me talking to your mate?” Drake asked breaking the silence “She was feeling bored and feeling left out of the party” “I was not!” Emily found her voice back, yes she might be feeling left out but definitely not bored.Drake ignored her as if she hadn’t spoken a word, he shrugged now smirking at Garrett, as if daring him to do or say something, Emily watched Garrett, he glanced at her briefly before turning back to Drake.“Looks like you two are having fun” he said and Emily jaw dropped. Really? She had to question the Mo
Emily sat down beside Ruth as they allowed Caroline to do her own thing, Emily’s mind went back to Garrett, he has never gotten involved in anything that has to do with the pack, not in the sense of security or being the Alpha king, but he is always in his office working, and if he should appear in any of the activities, it was to ruin the mood, or cause a scene. Emily wondered how he eats, who takes his food to him, because she has never seen him in the kitchen, waiting for Caroline to fix something for him to eat, she has no idea how he relates with the Omegas.Caroline placed a plate of macaroni in front of Emily but she didn’t noticed, her thoughts has gone far, it was the aroma and clearing of throat that pulled her back to the present, she gave Caroline a smile then looked down at her plate.“Thank you Caroline” Emily said“You looked so deep in thought” Ruth pointed out to Emily, eating her food “Something troubling you?” she asked“Erm… no” Emily shook her head, on second tho
Later in the day, when Rai came she met Emily in a corner in the common room, where Nani joined them, they went over the review of the previous event for Emily’s benefits “So basically, during the event, the Alpha king would open the floor, now that we have you, you will perform the ritual dance to the Moon Goddess. Those who shifted during the first years will be celebrated as they would be dressed in white, after that the hunt will begin, those looking for their mate will be dressed in red or a touch of it, they would hunt for their mates, then we will celebrate those that happens to find their mate, then you will perform the closing dance and the Alpha king would likely address everyone and the after party for those who wishes to wait, everybody can be merry and eat to their satisfaction” Rai summarized for Emily.“I have to dance?” Emily asked shocked “Twice?”“Yes” Rai said“I had to perform the last one and I must say it was poor, old me dancing, because it must be fine by the r
Before 7 the following morning, Nate has dragged a still sleepy Emily to the training center, they met the first trainer rounding up, everyone was dismissed minutes later.Emily saw Garrett speaking to Whales, he must have noticed them because he looked their way and his glance fell back to Whales, he must have said something to Whales because Whales nodded his head. Garrett stood back and the center was once again filled with trainers, Emily and Nate got in line, she saw that Garrett was still there, was he going to stay and watch them train? That would be a big distraction for Emily. Whales told them to get in position and continue from where they left off yesterday.“You still remember the moves right?” Nate asked her as they faced each other, Emily nodded in response “Okay then, you attack” he told herAnd they started fighting, with Emily attacking him, she applied what Garrett taught her and Nate had to jump out of her way, he nodded in appraisal “That was nice, only if you cou
"Alvin," Emily said. Garrett had picked the name weeks ago, and she felt it suited their son perfectly. "He certainly has a strong set of lungs," Lois laughed as baby Alvin stirred in his sleep and smacked his lips, showing his hunger. Lois reached out, picked him up, and handed him to Emily. "Feed him, please." Emily grinned at her son, whose eyes were now open and gazing at her. She knew he couldn't see her clearly yet. She kissed his forehead and prepared to breastfeed him. Lois left her alone, and a few minutes later, Garrett entered the room after Emily had finished breastfeeding Alvin. The baby was sleeping peacefully in her arms, and Emily smiled at Garrett, who looked immensely proud. "How are you feeling?" he asked, sitting beside her after hugging her and kissing his son on the head. "I'm great and happy," Emily replied. "I can see that." "How do you feel? I don't think there's a word that can truly explain how I feel right now," Emily said. "Well, I feel proud," he r
A heavily pregnant Emily made her way to the hospital where her friend was working. Lois was attending to a boy who had broken his leg while playing outside with his friends. Since he was not yet at an age where he could easily heal himself, Lois had to administer a painkiller to alleviate his discomfort and put him down to rest.Emily silently followed Lois as she headed to her office. Once there, Lois washed her hands and took her seat behind the desk. Emily cleared some books from the chair to make room for herself to sit."You really shouldn't be walking around in your condition," Lois finally broke the silence, though she refused to look up at Emily. She knew why Emily had come to her office—to nag her. Davies must have put her up to it. Lois shook her head, and Emily gave her an annoyed look."If I fall sick, it'll be your fault," Emily said."Blame Davies. I'll tell Garrett to direct his fury at him, not me. I've given you my answers, and you just have to come to terms with it.
Emily turned to look at Garrett, noticing his apparent anger. Was he jealous? She walked over to him and took his hand, smiling up at him as he looked down at her. He held her tightly, then glanced at Gabriel, who still had a smile on his face. Did the man ever stop smiling? He looked remarkably youthful for his age."Since we're all here, let's bring in Sapphire. Elena and Davies, if you would be so kind," Gabriel suggested.Davies bowed and left, followed by Elena, as they made their way to the cells to retrieve Sapphire. They would use the back door to avoid exposing her to the pack members."You're doing a splendid job here," Gabriel remarked, crossing his arms over his chest. It was surprising how well he had learned to behave like a normal human being, with all the shaking, moving, blinking, and smiling – one of his favorites."Thank you," Garrett replied curtly. Emily stepped on his foot, prompting him to look at her. She shook her head, then took a seat in Garrett's chair. Gab
The next day, when Emily awoke, she found herself alone in bed. Garrett must have let her sleep in. Glancing at the bedside clock, she discovered that it was nearly 10 in the morning. Letting out a yawn, she pulled the covers over her head, intending to catch a few more winks.However, the door swung open with a bang, and a group of lively ladies barged in. Emily's eyes widened as she spotted Elena, Lois, Fanny, and Catherine entering the room. Lois held a shopping bag in her hand, and they all wore mischievous grins as they lined up at the foot of the bed. Emily lowered the covers, curious to see what was going on."Rise and shine, sleeping beauty," Fanny announced with a wide smile."Let's freshen her up," Lois suggested, setting the bag down and taking a seat on the bed. "You should have a bath.""I can manage on my own," Emily protested.Lois arched an eyebrow playfully. "Feeling shy all of a sudden?" she teased. "Oh, come on, girl." She pulled the covers down and effortlessly lif
When Garrett entered the room, it was filled with his mate's comforting scent. He noticed how different his room looked now. The curtains were drawn back, allowing fresh air and sunlight to fill the space. Vases adorned the window and table, displaying beautiful flowers carefully chosen by Lois and Catherine. Lois, who had been standing by the bedside, approached Garrett and bowed before glancing back at the peacefully sleeping beauty."You'll need to feed her this every hour," Lois pointed to a covered cup, checking her wristwatch. "The next round should be in the next 25 minutes," she informed him. There was another piece of news she needed to share, but now wasn't the right time. Elena had confirmed her suspicions, and Lois couldn't believe it. She would need to conduct medical tests before informing Garrett. "I'll leave you two," she bowed her way out, closing the door behind her.Garrett took a quick shower and dressed in loose attire before returning to the room to feed his m
Garrett addressed the other Alphas in a similar manner, except for Alpha Anon. He held Alpha Anon's mate in custody and declared his Beta as the new Alpha, informing him that he would be given the opportunity to confront and defeat Alpha Anon when the time comes. Garrett wanted his mate to meet both Alphas before he dealt with them, as they played a significant role in her life, helping her understand the burdens of being born as an Omega.With the Alphas taken care of, Garrett made his way to the special cell where Sapphire was held. He was uncertain about what he should do with her. Upon reaching the cell, he found Elena already standing at the door, and she straightened up as he approached."Garrett," she greeted him."Elena, I would like to speak to her if you don't mind," Garrett said."Are you not going to pass judgment on her right away?" Elena asked."No," Garrett replied."Thank you. I will lift the spell that kept her mute and give you both some time to speak," Elena said
Garrett reached into his pocket and extracted two witch-like syringes, hoping they would work. He muttered the command for one to open, and it did. Without hesitation, he swiftly inserted it into Alpha Anon's hand. Observing as the Alpha's hand fell limp from his body, Garrett watched him collapse to the ground. "Nice one," he thought, hoping his men remembered to use the limited supply of syringes he had given them. He spotted one of his warriors and instructed him to securely tie Alpha Anon out of sight from the others and keep a watchful eye on him. Returning to the fight, he anxiously wondered if Elena and Lois had located his mate.Drake halted in his tracks when Sapphire came to a stop before him. He cursed at her, but his attention shifted when he realized they were not alone. "Sapphire," a voice called out."Elena," Sapphire greeted her sister."Where are you going? You're not fleeing, are you?" Elena inquired."Attack her!" Drake growled, abruptly dropping Emily to the grou
Lois was taken aback by Garrett's words, her eyes widened in surprise as she tried to process what he had just said. Garrett looked at her with a lot of questions, silently asking if she was alright. Lois nodded in response, indicating that she was fine. This revelation from Garrett had left her feeling excited and eager to see how he would express his love for Emily once they were reunited. She had noticed Garrett's protective behavior towards Emily at the pack house, particularly when Drake had gotten too close to her. Surely, that meant something, didn't it?Lois informed Garrett that she was going to check on Elena, who was still recovering from her ordeal. When she returned, she found Garrett sitting by the fire, trying their best to keep their location hidden while still being able to enjoy a meal. Lois sat down next to Garrett, and he turned to her, inquiring about Elena's well-being."How is she?" he asked, passing a plate of fish to Peter before turning his attention back t
At the break of dawn, the troop set out again in search, with Elena leading the way. They walked for hours across unfamiliar lands until they reached another pack. Garrett went ahead to speak to those on patrol. The head of the Skyhigh pack patrol approached Garrett and bowed."I expected your Alpha to be here," Garrett told him."The Alpha is currently unavailable, sir," the man replied.Garrett nodded. "My troop and I are on a quest, so we will pass through your lands and take the forest path. Will there be any problem with that?" he asked.The man bowed, not wanting to offend the Alpha king. "Not at all, sir. But some of my men will have to accompany you until you are out of our land, if you don't mind," he said."I don't," Garrett informed him. He turned away and walked back to his troops. Ten warriors from the Skyhigh pack joined them to guide them out of their lands and remain on high alert in case the strangers decided to attack.Garrett wasn't overly surprised that Alpha Lang
