The Couple novel Chapter 22

Christian

I am learning to manage things. After 3 days and so much planning, finally she forgave me.

After failing with my two previous plans, I was sure of my new plan. If Moon Goddess chooses her for me, she can’t stay away from me for long.

I asked, well more like commanded Tyler to send her in for the meeting in his place. I reached earlier and changed the table to a booth and bribed the host to not let her change the table. And before leaving the office I instructed Tyler to not reach through mindlink and contact using phone like a human when I am with my human mate.

Ethan called me urgently, and I know with the danger on the border, I can’t ignore his call. Greg wants to meet me suddenly. He was out to trace the rogue for three days and returned today, I hope he got something.

I just hope he returns with the rogue or atleast some information about him. As per the description of previously captured rogue, my rogue and Greg’s rogue from New York aren't the same. But we can’t take the risk as they both can be related. Sometimes, even rogues stay in packs without calling it a pack.

I reached my pack office and found Ethan and Greg sitting on their seats in front of my desk and stood up as they sensed me. They bowed and I nodded them back.

“So, what is the update?”

“I couldn’t find him, Maybe he left the surroundings too. No one saw him before and knew anything about him. He arrived on Saturday and was gone for the whole day and just returned for the night. Same on Sunday but when he returned after midnight that day, he left.”

“Any information from the inn he stayed in?”

“All fake. I suspected, Bryan confirmed this evening.”

“Any other link to get him.”

“None.” I took a deep breath and stood to leave before Greg spoke again.

“Alpha, but I saw something else when I was returning back.”

“What was it?”, I turned to face him.

“My mate’s brother was with Celia coming out from a restaurant holding hands.”

“Did you say anything about it to Little?”, I took my steps forward to him. My wolf is angry how can a gamma question him. He doesn’t like him being questioned.

“No alpha.”, my wolf made Greg bow to him.

“Good and its none of your business.”

“Its not safe to keep that girl close, she can be a danger to our pack.”

“Are you telling your Alpha what to do?”, I am hovering over him and my wolf wants to take over and ask him personally.

“No, I am sorry”, and as I was about to turn and leave.

“But Alpha, I don’t think Jeenee will like her brother and her human friend hanging out behind her back.”, damn his fearlessness which I loved in him when I first met him made me choose him as my third in command.

“And you’re going to help me to hide from her, won’t you?”

“Yes Alpha.”, he might be fearless to me but his wolf can’t be, in the end he will always obey his alpha and be loyal to me.

“Is there anything I should know, Alpha being your third in command?”

“Just know, I am the Alpha and always stay on alert.” and I left without turning back. I could feel his curiosity and I am not in the mood to feed it.

I told Ethan to not fill him in as it will be his punishment to question his Alpha and tell him what to do. He might be my third in command but he can’t overpower me.

I went home and to my cold bed. I wish I could have my Heaven here with me. Now, I know why other wolves want to have their mates as soon as they turn eighteen. Maybe so then, they don’t have to return to a cold bed and they have one who is waiting for them.

I took off my clothes and went to my bed grabbing Celia’s shirt which Mary got for me. It smells vanilla mixed with roses like her. It helps me in sleeping. I wonder if she is also thinking of me as she goes to her bed.

I fall asleep and dream of her sitting in my garden talking and laughing with Mumma, Little, Mary, Aunts Selena and Karen. When I came from behind and got her in bridal style to take her to our room.

I wake up around 5 in the morning and start my day with running in the woods and doing some work out before I get ready and start my day.

I need to start preparing for the war, I don’t want it to happen but if I trust the prophecy it will happen and I will need more soldiers and more experienced.

I need to protect my pack and their Luna but can’t tell them about the upcoming danger. I don’t know how everyone will react, many will oppose Celia like Karen did but can I blame them? No.

I called my heaven to know if she is upset about last night and I am happy this time she trusted me and wants to give me a chance. I won’t let you down my love and I will protect you.

I want to meet with Ethan, Dadda and uncle tonight, so I can’t see her. I want to discuss the rogue and our preparation for the war. I want to start early training of pups and advance training of each and every soldier. I will train with the best ones every Sunday morning.

And tomorrow she will go to some club with her colleagues and Jeanne. I am happy she is taking Jeanne with her but I don’t want any men to try on her or else he will be dead. She didn’t invite me but I want to go and have some time with her but I also know she needs some time alone as well. So, I let her go and enjoy herself as I don’t want to suffocate her with my love.

For Saturday, I thought about focusing on my business, Dante Construction Company and the source of income of my pack. Many members of the pack work here but many work at others places in town too.

Every pack member gives a small amount of their income to the pack so other things of the pack like training or meetings can be done and help others in the pack. But most of the pack matters are taken care of by this company.

I was working at my office when Mary mindlinked me and called me home immediately.

Why is everyone in urgency now?
