Chapter 123
ALPHA ATLAS’S POV
The news of what my mother did to Sebastian was everywhere. I knew what that wolf did to my mother when she was younger and I also got to know that he tried to poison me too.
So, news like this was truly refreshing and I was proud of her. I had to hide how I really felt though, because the rules of this pack frowned on wolves taking the law into their hands.
“Mom, you should have at least told us about him. What if something had gone wrong?” I asked and she shrugged. She was in the arms of my father and he was stroking her hair, showing that he very much approved of what she had done. She had a proud smile on her face and I shook my head in disapproval.
“What is the worst that could have happened? The most he could have done was to shoot me, but I drank Aunt Freya’s portion, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”
“That’s my girl,” Aunt Freya cheered and they all laughed, except me.
“But, mom, that was too risky,” I insisted.
“Give my mate a break,” my father said and I frowned.
“Dad, you were once an Alpha. How come you aren’t on my
side
“Well, I’m no longer an Alpha, so I can do whatever I want now.”
“Even as an Alpha, your dad was still a rebel,” My mother said and they both laughed.
“Yes,” He agreed. “I was popular at the werewolf council for breaking a lot of rules.”
My mother smiled. She was studying my face now. “Atlas,” she called out, still keeping her frown. “Rules and plans are very necessary. Without them, the world would be chaotic. But, in certain situations, we have to go against the rules and whatever plans we have. In the human world, they will call what I did self-defense.”
“Erhh, I’m pretty sure what you did was a little different.”
My parents and Aunt Freya laughed.
“If she calls it self defense, then it is self defense,” Aunt Freya said and I could not help but join in the laughter. Then, I looked around.
“Where is Elaina?”
“Are you asking for the same Elaina you pushed away?” My mother said and I frowned.
“I had to do what I had to do.”
“You’re doing it again,” My father said.
“What am I going to do?”
“Well, since you’ve pushed her way, just know that there will come a time where you would never get even a glimpse of you.
Aunt Freya nodded in agreement. “Now, she is avoiding you while she is here. There will be a time she will try to avoid you when she gets outside and far from here. By then, it will be too late. If you keep on looking for treasures outside while leaving the treasure currently with you unprotected, you would end up losing everything and you will get nothing

Aunt Freya’s words were stuck in my head now. “Aunt Freya, you’re speaking in parables again.”
“And it is your job to decode them and pick the lessons.”

I took my phone and checked my messages and as expected I saw Conri’s message. I was expecting him to come today. I h given him a leave to visit his parents since they no longer stayed in the pack. But, when he found out that my parents were visiting the pack from the Human world, he wanted to come back today to see them.
My eyes widened immediately when I saw his message. He was not the only one visiting. His parents were coming too.
I got up from my chair and began to pace up and down the room. My palms were sweaty.
“What is wrong?” My parents and Aunt Freya all asked in unison. Their voices were filled with concern.
I swallowed, before answering the question. “Aunt Janice and Uncle Darius are coming along with Conri today.”
“They are?”
Since the day my father retired as Alpha, Aunt Janice and Uncle Darius left the pack. They most probably did so because they could not bear being under the rule of an Alpha who lost a child of theirs.
I had mixed feelings when they left. I was both relieved and filled with guilt. Relieved that the pain of seeing their faces and remembering that I had lost their daughter will go away. I felt guilty because they were leaving the pack without their daughter because I was too careless to look after her.
Now that they were visiting, I did not think I would face them. Their daughter was still missing and they would be leaving again without her. My heart squeezed in pain.
My parents walked up to me and for the first time since I became Alpha, they hugged me and began to caress my back.
“Everything will be okay,” My father said and I shook my head. “Things can only become okay when I find Athena.”
I pulled away from their hug and my father gave me a pat on my shoulders. “You will overcome this one too,” He said reassuringly and I nodded. If he said that I would, I believed that I would.
“We are here,” Conri announced. I turned pale immediately my eyes fell on Conri and his parents.
“Greetings, Alpha,” Conri and his parents greeted.
I took a deep breath and then bowed my head in greeting too. “Greetings.”
Afterwards, I pointed to the seats available. “Aunt Janice, Uncle Darius, Beta Conri, please have your-
“Rita,” Janice cried out. My mother jumped excitedly and then ran to her friend to give her a hug. They were acting like teenagers
and it was cute to see.
“Girl, I heard what you did to that son of a gun and I must say it, you slayed.”
They both giggled.
Dad exchanged hugs too. When he turned to me, he smiled. He walked up to me and gave me a pat on my shoulder. “The formalities are totally not necessary. We are a family,” He said and my heart warmed up.
Uncle Darius and my
Aunt Janice walked up to me too. She spread her arms wide for an embrace and with a huge smile on my face, I hugged her. “You’re doing well, Alpha Atlas,” She said with a smile on her face
“Thank you.” I smiled back at her.
“Emma, stop running around.”

When she saw that there were visitors, she smiled awkwardly. “Greetings. I’m sorry…” Her voice trailed off and I followed her
gaze.
She was looking at Aunt Janice and Uncle Darius like she was in some kind of trance.
Aunt Janice moved away from me, walked to her and cupped her cheeks. “Are you really her?” She asked and I wondered what that meant.
