40 Two Choices
Loreli POV
I love my mate, but sometimes he can be really dumb. Goddess bless this woman who is staring at my mate without dropping her gaze. Not many men could handle his aura, but this woman sure as hell can. Her mate stands taking her hand in his. This was not how this meeting was supposed to go. “Micah, I would like to see you in the hallway.” I know he feels disrespected but he deserved every bit of it. “Micah, come with me now.” He finally seems to snap out of it and his eyes meet mine. He turns walking toward the door. “Will you excuse us for a moment?” Serina nods and I join Micah in the hallway. He pulls me into his arms and buries his face in my neck breathing in my scent. I know he is trying to calm his wolf and I allow him to use my scent. After a few minutes, he pulls away. “Can you believe the way that woman just spoke to me? I’m trying to help them and she dares be disrespectful.” “I absolutely can. You were the one that was just disrespectful to that pup’s mother.” His face contorts to an expression of confusion and then anger. “I am trying to protect her pup.” I cross my arms over my chest. “I told you that coming here and being insistent to take her pup away from her was not going to get you anywhere. I would never let anyone take Jacob from me no matter how good their intention was.” He growls at the thought of someone taking Jacob. “I know you’re trying not only to protect her pup but our son’s future mate, but this is their pup. Do you really believe that little girl would want to be away from her parents and brother? That she would be comfortable going to a place that she doesn’t know with people that are strangers.”
He looks defeated and I know he is finally realizing how wrong he is. I love this man. Even though he is the king and this strong wolf, he cares about what I say even if it takes him some time to listen. “I’m
sorry Loreli. I should have listened to you. I was so hell bent on doing this my way and I f**ked it up. I will make it right.” I wrap my arms around his neck the best I can with my big belly and press a soft kiss on his lips. I pull back and smile at him. “The measure of a man is not the mistakes he makes but how he redeems himself.” He pecks me one more time before we head back inside. We come to stand in front of the table and Serina now has her daughter on her lap. I look at Micah and I can see regret in his eyes as he stares at the little girl with her mother. “I want to apologize for acting like you had no choice in what happens with your pup’s safety. You are her parents and I was wrong for even suggesting we would take her like there was no other choice. We would like to offer our help in keeping her safe.” The tension in the air seems to dissipate. “What is her name?” “This is Ella and that is our son Levi”, Serina says, pointing to a handsome boy that looks younger than Ella. “Ella, it’s very nice to meet you. My name is Loreli.” She looks at me for a moment before she waves. I notice Serina is linking. Ella’s starts to smile when she looks at me. “Are you really a queen” she asks in her tiny voice. I chuckle “I am but you can just call me Loreli.” “It’s nice to meet Loreli.” She is so sweet. “Maybe before we finish our discussion the pups could get a snack.” I’m not sure how much she has heard, but I don’t want her to hear things that might scare or upset her.
Serina POV
I appreciate all that Loreli did to intervene. I can tell that Micah is kind and he loves his mate despite his suggestion to take Ella with them. “Ella, how about if you and Levi go get some ice cream with Autumn and Connor.” She jumps off my lap and grabs her brother’s hand. They rush for the door just as it opens. Autumn smiles before she leads the kids out. I take a deep breath. “I appreciate that you are trying to protect our daughter Micah, but she is our pup. We could never be separated from either of our pups.” “I understand and I’m sorry for even suggesting you just hand her over to us.” I nod and he continues. “May I suggest two options that you might be more agreeable to” he says to me and Nicholas. Nicholas squeezes my hand and I nod. “We would love to invite you, Nicholas, and your pups to come and live at the castle until she has her first shift. You’re welcome to even stay permanently as Ella is to be the next Queen. I’m sure she would like to have her family be part of the royal pack.” The
thought of leaving my family makes a pit form in my stomach. “The second option is that I appoint royal warriors and my brother to stay in the pack until she has her first shift. He will be her personal guard.” “Nicholas, what do you think about what he is saying” I link my mate. Before he can answer, Loreli gets my attention. “This is not a decision you have to make today. Micah and I know you will want to decide this as a family. That is why we asked you to all be present for this discussion” Loreli says. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“We will be having Ruby and Maverick’s Alpha ceremony in a week and we will give you our answer after we discuss everything with our family. We would be honored if you joined us for the ceremony and we can speak after it’s over.” Both Micah and Loreli smile. It is still strange to call them by their first names. “I will do my best to be there but honestly I’m due any day now.” I smile and she rubs her belly. “Do you know what you’re having?” “It’s a little girl,” Micah says with pride in his voice. “Congratulations to you both.” They both nod before they stand. “I again want to apologize for my approach in the beginning of our meeting. We look forward to attending your ceremony if possible” he says, looking at Ruby and Maverick. They both nod. The portal opens and they step through it. Once they are gone, I have a hundred thoughts running through my mind. Strong arms wrap around me and Nicholas’s scent helps me to relax. “You are an amazing woman and mother. I am truly blessed by the goddess to have gotten you as my mate.” He leans in and whispers in my ear “that was also super hot watching you go all mama wolf against the king.” I chuckle and slap his chest. He presses a kiss on my lips and I couldn’t love this man more. Now we just need to figure out what’s best for our pup.
Archer POV
I hate this for my family. Ella should get to be a kid with no worries. My aunt and uncle should be able to enjoy their pups without worrying about power-hungry ba**ards hurting her. I have no idea what decision they will make, but I know our family will support them either way. Danica and I had planned to tell everyone about our pup today but I’m not sure if it’s the right time after everything that just happened. My mother looks at me and smiles. I look at Danica and I can feel her nerves through our bond. I take her hand in mine before I look back at our family. “I want you to know that we will be here
and we will protect Ella no matter what you decide to do” I say to my aunt and uncle. My aunt comes over and wraps me in a hug. “We would like to know whatever thinks we should do before Nicholas and I make our decision, but right now I would like to take my pups home and hug them for a while.” I smile and stand “before you guys leave, we have an announcement to make.” I take Danica’s hand helping her to stand and pull her to my side. I look back at my family and they are all smiling. “Danica and I are going to have a pup.” The room erupts with screams as my sisters both jump up running toward us. I catch them both as they hurl themselves at me. “We’re going to be aunties” Jade squeals. They let me go and pull Danica into a group hug. At first, she is shocked, but then she melts into the embrace.
“You let us know if you need anything, Danica”, Ruby says, hugging her one more time. “Thank you, I’m glad everyone is as happy as we are.” Everyone else congratulates us. My aunt and uncle head to grab their pups while the rest of us head to the dining room. As we sit at the table, I notice Jade’s mark for the first time. “I see congratulations are in order for the two of you too” I say to Jade and Luca. This time my mother jumps up rushing over to Jade and pulling her into a hug. I walk over and shake Luca’s hand before I hug my sister again. I whisper into her ear “now it’s time to give Luna a little brother or sister.” I can tell she is smiling without even seeing her face. She kisses my cheek when I pull back. I take my seat next to Danica and she leans against my shoulder. Dinner is served and at this moment, everything feels peaceful. I know it won’t last, but I try to focus on being happy with my mate and family. Soon we will have a pup and I can’t wait to be a father.
Maverick POV
I go to grab my mother to join us for dinner. My mind is replaying everything that just happened. I’m still in awe of how protective Serina was despite being faced with a hybrid king. I guess the saying is right. Don’t mess with a mother’s pups. I reach my mother’s room and knock. She smiles when she opens the door and I give her a quick hug before we head to the dining room. As we walk, I tell her about Archer and Danica’s big news. “I hope that soon I’ll have a grand pup of my own.” I chuckle and she wraps her arm around mine. As we walk into the dining room, everyone is talking around us. When we
almost reach the table, a growl that practically shakes the room makes Gaylen push to the surface. I shove my mother behind me to protect her from whatever is happening. My eyes land on the source and I’m totally confused. He seems to look past me and I realize he is staring at my mother. Within seconds, he leaves the dining room without a word. Could my mother really be his mate? Everyone looks as shocked as I do. Ruby looks like she is ready to lose it. “Maverick, what the hell just happened” my mother asks. I don’t know what to say after he just ran out of here like his a** was on fire. “Maverick” tell me what the hell is going on. After everything that happened with my father, how do I tell her that the man that was destined for her by the goddess ran away from her?
