Chapter 3

• Maleah’s p.o.v.
• “In all the years I have been traveling for my job you have never called me before to ask about my schedule, so cut the crap and answer my question.” I growl at her and I hear her sigh deeply before she finally answers me, “Because I have found another Mate and I would like you to meet him.”
• I have to control myself from not laughing out loud and I take a few deep breaths before I allow myself to respond, “Mother, I would like to meet him some day, but right now I am too busy with a few projects. I will ask Pauline to check my schedule and to contact you to make an appointment.
• Right now I don’t have the time to do it myself, I am nearly at my destination and I will be busy the rest of the day.” I reply and whoever is growling in the background doesn’t like the way I talk to my Mother, not that I give a flying fuck about it.
• “Sweetheart, I want to discuss this with you and not with some assistant.” My Mother says and I decide to show her it would have been better to accept my offer.
• “Fine, Mother. I will contact you the first chance I get to check my schedule and then we can discuss when I will meet your new Mate. Just remember I am a very busy business woman and for me to do this personally as you requested might take a while. Don’t bother calling me, I will get back to you when I have the time.” I growl before I disconnect the call, but I can hear a mighty roar before the line goes quiet and Fortune is laughing her ass off in my head.
• “Sounds like she found a Mate with a short fuse or a High-ranking Mate.” I say to Fortune. If I had to take a bet I would go with a High-ranking Mate, my Mother is not someone that would settle for something less and it is something I have heard her say to Dad many times over the years.
• I still don’t understand why she didn’t leave the Pack years ago, but then again there is a lot I don’t understand about my Mother and I doubt I will ever understand her.
• I pull to a stop outside the gates of our territory and the Wolf on duty looks a little strange when he sees me, “Don’t let my Father know I am here, I want to surprise him.” I say to the guard and when I hear him whisper “How many more surprises can he handle?” I ask him what that is about and for a moment he looks at me with a dumbfounded look on his face, “He didn’t expect you to hear him.” Fortune states and I smile up at the guard.
• “Your Mother arrived here about an hour ago, she told your Father that the two of you were moving out of the territory to join her new Mate’s Pack. She even handed Alpha Dominic the transfer papers and I can guarantee you that your Father is pissed off.” He answers me.
• “Link the Alpha and tell him not to sign my request. Also send a few Warriors to the house, they might need to protect my Mother and her new Mate before I kill them. And don’t mention to anyone what you just saw.” I growl.
• He gives me a smirk as he nods his head and I drive down the dirt road towards the house I have lived in with my parents my whole life.
• “That is why she wanted to know when you would be back.” Fortune growls and I know that she is right, Mother wanted to make sure I couldn’t stop her from moving my stuff out and to hand my transfer request to one of our Alphas.
• I see my Mother looking at Dad with a triumphant look on her face, but it drops the moment she sees me driving up to the house. Dad looks heartbroken as he turns towards me and I jump into his arms before he can say anything.
• “I am not going anywhere, Dad. I don’t know what Mother told you, but you are stuck with me.” I whisper into his ear and I hear the same growl behind me I heard on the phone.
• Dad pulls back a little to look at me and I see a huge smile on his face, Dad knows that what I say is the truth. I have never lied to him in my life, I might not have told him everything but I know he will understand why I never told him.
• I hear someone clear their throat behind me and as I turn around I see a bulky Werewolf in the doorway holding my vanity mirror, “Could you let me pass?” He asks because Dad and I are blocking his way.
• “No, you can turn around and put that back exactly where you found it and that goes for every piece of furniture you took out of that room. Everything you took out of that room will be placed back and you better get a move on, I need a shower and some rest.” I say coldly to the male and I feel an aura slip from the male standing next to my Mother, of course she found herself an Alpha.
• “Remember where you are, Alpha Bradley.” I hear an unknown voice say from behind me and when I turn towards the voice I am looking at a huge male, a cold look in his eyes as he looks at me. I feel Alpha Bradley rain in his aura as four Warriors step next to the Giant, I wanted to say something but I am interrupted by my Mother.
• “Sweetheart, this is no place for you to life. You are so much better than anyone that lives here.” She says.
• I get out of my Father’s arms to turn towards my Mother, “Let’s show her what we are made of.” Fortune growls in my head and I allow her to push forward to show my Mother I have a Lycan.
• “This is my home and no matter how often you keep asking me I will never move from the territory. I am done with you and your dislike of this Pack, my Father and me being Wolfless, once my stuff is out of the truck and back in my room I want you to leave.
• I don’t ever want to see you again; you never gave a damn about me and I am sick and tired of trying to understand why.” I growl at her and everyone around us can feel the deadly aura that seeps out of us, an aura an Assassin uses to instill fear into his or her victims.
• My Mother is cowering into her Mate’s arms and even he as an Alpha has trouble with my aura pressing against him.
• “Maleah, please calm down.” I hear Dad say behind me and after I push out another burst of my aura I rain my aura back in, before I turn around to step into my Father’s waiting arms. I let my Father’s scent sooth me, I listen to his steady heartbeat as I try to calm both Fortune and myself down.
• My face is hidden in my Father’s chest as I listen to footsteps walking in and out of the house, when I hear one of the men say they are done I step out of my Father’s embrace.
