5. Mate

'A car is entering the pack-land border.' Juan, our warrior on guard mind-linked me, brought me back to reality.

He is one of our white wolves, a mage that attuned to plants. I didn't know the concept, he explained to me that the plants are talking to him just like how we did the mind-link. He could command them to grow their parts, roots, branches, leaves, fruits, shed leaves, and another tricks. We have three pack members with the same ability, and they were the most handy pack guards ever, as this area is thick with vegetation.

'Can you tell ne who is inside it?' I replied.

'Are. Two people, one of them is our Moira,' Juan said, jealousy is thick in his tone.

There is no secret that Juan is into my grand daughter. But as soon as he could shift and made sure that they aren't mates, I didn't give him the permission to make any move, we don't need a silly broken hearted scene if one of them find their destined mate.

'She came with a boy?' This is surprising. Moira was never attracted to someone, moreover being in a relationship.

A vision sent by Juan flashed in my mind, Moira is laughing happily and kissed that boy's cheek. If my suspicion was right, he is not a human.

'Behave yourself, Juan. You have a mate out there,' I said.

He sighed, 'Yes, Alpha.'

I closed the link and give a final check to the contract documents for the next month's job, put the files neatly into the containers, then put them on the cabinet. Then checking the data copy in the computer screen, deleted unused files, organized my table, and walk out of my office.

The elevator dinged and I stepped out of it, smiled and nodded to all pack members I bumped with. During the day, omegas are working to clean, cook, and the other labor. Don't get me wrong, they are not slaves an paid well in this pack.

"Where should Drake sleep, tonight? I'll show him the room." I hear Moira's soft voice asking.

"Oh, shouldn't he sleep with you?" Sabrina asked confusedly.

A low growl erupted out of me, imagining a man touching my little Moira. "Who sleep with who?" I boomed.

I walk out of the entrance, to the porch, find Sabrina, Moira, and a young man behind them. Moira ran to hug me, and my anger estinguished just as fast.

Then my gaze turned to the boy as his eyes shifted to mine. The air around him visibly thicker with the strong aura he leaked, any completed wolf will easily realize that he is an alpha.

"Pop, this is Drake," said Moira.

The boy took few step forward and hold my hand to me. I shake that strong grip. "Good afternoon Mr. Stephan, I'm Drake Lockhart. Moira's mate."

She's been away just for twelve days, and came home with her mate. An alpha, and a royal, while she didn't even realize that she isn't a mere human.

Sabrina's jaw dropped. "Mate?"

Moira is clearly confused.

"I need a word with you, Mr. Lockhart," I said, tried my best to look as intimidating as possible while boring my eyes to his.

He gave me a nod. "Sure, Sir."

I walk to the direction of the elevator, intended to bring the boy to my office for some questions and threats, but stopped after realized that Moira is tailing after us.

I sighed. "We will talking man to man, Moi ...," I said and stop walking, then turned around.

Drake chuckled, I see Moira pouted. "I have to make sure that you won't hurt him, Pop ...," she whined.

Drake bite his laugh.

"I'm too old to even give him a scratch," I deadpanned.

"No, you're not," she said with a puppy face that will always be my weakness.

"I'll come back to you before you miss me, Love. I want to get to know your Pop too," said the boy.

What did he call my Moira with? Love? Over my dead body—

"Okay," she said and turned around to join her mother again.

I was stunned there.

Moira was always argued when everyone told her to do something. But she easily agreed with this boy? Was I hearing and seeing right?

I still watch her back in disbelief when Drake cleared his throat. "Shall we?" he asked politely.

"Ah, yes. This way," I said, still thinking about what was happened.

I inspected his face for a moment before started to talk. He is sit across from me in my office desk. He has strong and well-built, quite charming with that alpha male appearance. He could get any girl he want.

"How long did you know Moira, Alpha? Or should I call you, Your Highness?" I asked.

Lockhart family has known to be the monarch of all werewolves around the world. They ruled for about a millennia, back then werewolves and the other creatures are still lives side by side in peace, before the raise of the hunters. The kingdom has fallen about two Century ago, being lives in comfort, no one had guessed that human will be able to form an army and planned to destroy our species.

They were attacked at dawn, when the most of them were sleeping. Killing the patrolling guards then whoever they bumped with, be it women, children, even babies. Royal guards' duty was make sure the prince, his mate, his beta and delta, could be evacuated in a sudden chaos like this. The recent king was the prince's older brother and wasn't found his mate until his death.

Drake must be one of the descendant of the prince. His alpha aura is screaming authority, more than an alpha should do,  more than I am. He is a royal. If we could build the kingdom again, he will fit to be crowned as the king.

"Nine days, Sir. And please call me Drake," he answered politely, not even shaken with my attempt to look scary.

"What is Moira to you?"
