“Why? ” I asked dad why…
He looked at me blankly.
“What do you mean by why? If I’ve killed him, this war would never happened. ” dad said.
“No dad, you should’ve accepted the truth that mate isn’t a choice. It’s fixed by moon goddess. It’s not something we can control. You should’ve helped him. ”
Dad’s face went pale as he looked at me.
“But… It was rule… ” dad said.
“Is any rule bigger than a wolf’s life. Is any rule worth killing someone’s mate. Is the rule worth the war dad? ” I asked him.
His face was pale. There were some mixed emotions in his eyes. Some guilt, some pain…
“It wasn’t only my decision… ” dad tried to defend himself even more…
“Then all of you were wrong. ”
“But he tried to kill your dad. ” Mom said in dad’s behalf.
“Because his mate was dead because of him. He could’ve saved his mate. ”
I left the room. I went out of the pack house and went to the site where all the wolves were taken for safety.
My eyes keep searching untill they found a cute little girl. She also saw me standing at the door. As soon as she saw me she ran towards me.
I walked towards her and take her in my arms.
“Uncle, I missed you. ” little Lilly said hugging me.
“I miss you to Lilly. ” I sat on a chair and keep her in my lap.
“So, we’re you afraid? ” I asked her.
“A little bit ” She made a gesture from her hand showing how much scared was she.
“Everything is OK now. ” I said hugging her.
“What happened to your leg? ” she pointed at my leg.
“I slipped and fell. ” I lied to her.
“Don’t lie uncle. They said you are in a war. I was praying for your return from yesterday. ” Lilly said .
“Oh, that’s why I’m safely home. Thanks to your prayers. ” I pinched her nose.
“Hihihihi…” She laughed.
Her smile did something inside me. It was like someone had thrown a stone at the calm river. All the emotions inside me stir up.
I wake up and gave Lilly to the caretakers who were working there.
“When will you came to visit me uncle? ” Lilly asked in her childish voice.
“Soon” the caretaker replied her question. “Let him take some rest, OK? ”
Lilly nooded and waved bye to me. I waved her back and went back to the pack house.
I wasn’t in the mood for talking to another. I went to my room and washed my body.
After that I sleep on the bed. The war had somehow make my body exhausted. I sleep there for a while.
When i woke up, I felt my whole body so hot. I was having fever. My whole body was aching.
In a while mom came to my room to ask me to have lunch. When she saw my pale face, she suddenly came to me.
She put her hands on my head to check my temperature. She frowned at my condition and some wrinkles appeared in my forehead.
“Don’t worry so much mom. You’re getting wrinkles. ” I said as I touch her forehead.
“Shut up, don’t joke around. Let’s go to pack doctor. You’ve high fever. ” she said patting my hands away.
“No, I don’t want to. Just give me some cetamol and I’ll be fine. It’s just side effects of the rain. ” I refused to go to the pack doctor. I don’t like to go there.
“Let me send you some food and medicine. ” My mom said after some thought and went out off the room.
I covered my body with a blanket, it was really cold.
While o tried to sleep, Ethan came to my room.
He didn’t look so much affected even though he was badly injured. I really envy his power at this time. His power was healing. He can heal his wounds in double speed than others.
“What? ” I asked him.
“Brother, that I want to propose her today ” he said scratching his head .
I remembered Ethan told me that he’d got his mate. He was so happy that he found the other half of his soul.
“Why so fast ?” I asked.
“Actually I planned this before the war thing. And now… I don’t want to change anything.. ” he said.
“As you wish. ” I shook my shoulders at him…
“What should I tell to mom, she’ll be worried. ” He said worrying about mom.
“Don’t worry, you go I’ll talk to her. ” I assured him.
“Thank you brother. You’re the second best person in the world. ” he said as he hugged me.
“Who’s the first one? ” I asked .
“First one Is your little brother himself. ” he said pointing his finger at his nose. We both laughed at his doing.
He left the room before mom came. In a while mom ebtered the room with a tray in her hands.
She fed me porridge and medicines with her own hands.
“Mom” I called her.
“What? ” she asked.
“Ethan is going to propose his mate. ” I said .
“What? When? And when did he get his mate. Why didn’t he told me. ” Mom askes NMD everything at once.
“He found her few weeks ago on the full moon. He is going to propose her today. ” I said to her.
“Well that’s a good thing ” She sigh.
She looked at me and said ” I wish you could’ve found your mate so that everything … ”
” Mom I’m sleepy. ”
She looked at me stand smiled. She covered my body with the blanket.
“Sleep well son. ” my mom left the room and closed the door behind her.
As she went out, pictures of my mate came in my mind. I tried to shook her away from my mind but she wouldn’t go away.
I fall asleep in between of her thoughts. Maybe because of the fight and and not sleeping yesterday, I fall into a deep sleep .
When i wake up, it was already dark and light was glowing everywhere . I was feeling much better now. And i was hungry too. I got up from the bed and came out of my room.
I went down the stairs to the dining hall. My mom and dad were seated there. As soon as mom saw me cane to hold me.
“I’m fine mom. Look my fever is gone now. ” I said to Mom.
“But you’re still weak. ” she replied.
“Don’t worry Lisa, he’s our pup. He has alpha blood in him, this small wounds can’t make him weak. ” Dad said proudly.
Mom nodded at his sentence and went to him.
We sat around the table. Servents served us food on the table. The food was very simple because I and dad have wounds all over our bodies.
“Son, ” Dad called me.
“yes dad. ” I replied him.
“So many houses are damaged. Many people are injured. I think you’ll stay untill I fixed them. And we also have to have a small party before the other alpha went back to their packs. ” Dad said.
I looked at him. He was more injured then me. I couldn’t just let him be by himself here. Liam was capable to handle things there.
I nodded my head at dad.
“Son, Uncle John wanted to see you. ” mom said.
I froze at the name of Uncle John. I nodded at mom, since I was here it was better if I met him.
After that we all ate our dinner in silence. The food was OK but I felt If I was having something very awful.
I only have some and went to the room. I sat on the bed and took out the ointment that the doctor gave me. I have my medicine and applied those ointment on the wounds before I go to bed.
…
I woke up while the sun kissed me on the face.
I take a bath and changed my clothes then I went down to the dining hall to have my breakfast.
Mom was making sandwiches. I went to the kitchen and eat those sandwiches.
“Yumm… I really missed these sandwiches mom. ” I said taking the bite after bite of the sandwich.
She smiled and touched my face.
“Have some more, I’ll make more if you like it. ” she said with a beautiful smile on her face.
“Is all the love for your son, now that he’d came back? ” Dad also joined the kitchen.
“Here is yours. ” Mom gave dad a sandwich in a plate.
Dad take it went to the living room with the plate. “Willis, I think we should have a smakk party tonight. The alpha’s wants to go back. ” dad said.
“This fast? Can we prepare? ” I asked.
