CHAPTER 49
CATHERINE.
Oh, my goddess.
Vance is here.
In this pack.
What if he finds me?
What if others tell him I am here?
What if…
"Calm down, Cat," Diana says as she walks back into her room.
When we heard that Vance was already in the pack, it had sent us all into overdrive. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Damon, as well as the other Alphas, had hurried to the front of the mansion to stall him, long enough for I and Diana to clear away any signs of my presence.
She had hurried me into her suite and had gone down to spray different kinds of air freshening agents to mask my scent.
Eventually, I heard them all come inside and I have been sitting and waiting here in trepidation.
It has been horrible.
"Did he suspect anything?" I ask as I hurry over to her.
She closes the door and gently takes me by my hand to lead me to her bed.
"What could he possibly suspect?" she asks. "How could he possibly think that his rejected mate is here, his father's enemy's pack and that she is the Alpha's mate?"
"Yeah. I guess you are right, that would be quite a leap," I say, before turning to her. "But everything else is alright? Damon didn't try to kill him?"
"No. See, I told you he has impeccable control."
"Thank the goddess," I say as I heave a big sigh.
Honestly, I can't wait for my life to go normal, though, I am not sure how that would look. My life hasn't been normal in years.
"Hmm. So, now that we are alone, what do you want to know about the Wolf Queen?" she asks.
"What?"
"You had once asked me to tell you about the Wolf Queen, what do you want to know?"
I stare at her for a few seconds before I recall that conversation. It was the same day that I had dissuaded Damon and Melissa from attacking the Skylight Pack.
"Right, of course. Well, for starters, how did you know about them, this legend?"
"Hmm, it was when Damon had first turned into a wolf as a cub."
"A cub?"
Of course, like me.
I always found it odd that I could change forms since I was a child. Most people change form at the age of thirteen or fourteen, right around when puberty hits.
It makes sense that we both would stand out like that.
"You changed form as a child too, right?"
"Yes. But no one knew. Except my parents. I have always been kept away from most children, I am just starting to understand why."
"I figure. Anyway, he was seven, when he changed. He had earlier complained that his joints were hurting him. We had taken him to the healer but they told me it was growing pains.
"Then one day, he was playing with Mel in the garden when he just… wolfed out. It freaked me out so bad, they had to sedate me. I thought something was wrong with my son.
"Eventually, Roger, my husband, sat me down and told me about the Wolf King and his Luna. It is a secret that has been passed down from Alpha to Alpha so that they would be recognized in case they were reincarnated again.
"When I learned about those who would want to kill him for his power, I brought up the idea that Damon must never show himself to anyone else, except family and his mate, that is you."
"What was the earliest record of them?"
"We don't know when they first appeared. The earliest recorded history of them both was over four centuries ago, in the far eastern continent. But the knowledge that has been passed down has been
known for far longer."
"Wow. That is… a lot."
"Yes. I suppose it is. Why don't you ask your wolf, she is the Wolf Queen, she must know her history."
"Maybe. But my wolf is kind of a bitch. And I don't mean that in a species way, I mean it as an insult."
Diana laughs at that.
"You know I can hear you right?" my wolf growls.
I, of course, ignore her.
"You can't blame her too much, she has been around for goddess knows how long, she must have seen it all," Diana says.
"Doesn't give her reason to be such a pain," I retort.
"Maybe, maybe not."
"Tell me more. I want to know everything," I plea.
MELISSA.
Un-fucking-beliavable.
"If you are going to hit something, just do it already. Your silent snarling is making me nervous," Faye remarks as we stand outside the mansion watching the people the fucker brought with him.
"I didn't say anything," I snarl out.
"Hence, the silence in that sentence. Spit out."
"That wretch had the boldness to just drive up to our pack and demand entrance. Who does he think he is?" I growl.
"First of all, he didn't demand entrance, it was requested and secondly," she responds, her voice going low. "We always sneak into his pack, don't be a hypocrite."
That is cold.
I glare at her before turning away from her.
"Since when have you been so kind to them? Does this have to do with your mate?"
"Maybe. Maybe not," she answers, her tone light.
I whirl back to her, my face slacks with shock.
"You admit it?!"
"There is no point in lying, is there? This mate bond thing, it is a pain in the ass but also very cool. Imagine with me, just imagine," she repeats as I open my mouth to snap at her. "What if they are not all bad? Maybe it's just a few bad eggs?"
"Ugh. Stop, please."'
"Fine. So, are you coming with?" she asks.
"For what?"
"To see Lucas. Remember the Alpha said he doesn't want me going alone."
"Was that today?"
"Yes."
"Fine. It is about time I see this mate of yours anyway."
