” Mom,” I called out without looking back to know who it was, her scent gave her off.
” Hmm, it’s me, son, what are you doing out here all alone,” Mom says as she walks over to me and sits on another rock close to the one I sat on.
” I am fine, simply needed to be alone, Mom,”
” I thought you quit,” She says, pointing to the cigarettes in my hands.
” I thought that too, but I guess It is helpful now,” I say with a half smile on my face.
Mom stretches her hand toward me with a signal for me to give her the pack I held in mine, I laughed at her actions before handing it over to her.
She picks a stick and lit it with a lighter before taking a few drags and letting it out,
” I thought you quit too,” I asked with a smirk on my face.
She turns to me with a smile on her face. ” I thought I quit too, son,” she says, and we both laugh out loud.
Mom has always been my partner in crime, despite anything she is always there and tries to make sure I am doing okay, well, Mother’s love right.
We sat in silence for a few minutes before Mom broke the silence,
” Son, I want you to know that the moon Goddess loves all her children and would never hurt anyone intentionally, she has her reasons for everything that happens and tries her best to balance this world in every way possible. Let Macy go, I believe that you would soon find your mate, and when you do, you will see just how much you will adore and love her,”
I stayed silent for a minute after listening to Mom’s words, to say I was heartbroken was an understatement, my whole world has just crumbled with everything that has chosen to happen to me.
” Mom, it is not easy at all, no matter how hard I try to remind myself that she belongs to Liam, I still find myself wanting her. Mom, I have loved her for two complete years. It is not that easy to just forget her after all the times we’ve spent together,”
” I know son I understand, it’ll take time to forget, but you will eventually do when the time comes at least when you find your mate, and get to feel the mate bond then I assure you, that you will forget all about her in no time.”
I take another puff of the cigarette I held in between my fingers and let out the smoke, my heart hurting bitterly.
” Mom, it is so special to love someone like the way I love Macy, without a bond, it’s just my heart wanting and loving that girl, I don’t need to give into a bond or get to perceive her scent or my wolf calling unto her no, none of that, this is just me in love with a girl that I don’t think I can unlove Mom,”
Mom opens up her arms to me with tears threatening to fall from her eyes, I immediately run into her arms and hug her tight, my tears falling down my cheeks. Mom sniffs as she holds me tight in her arms, Only she gets to see me this vulnerable and in tears.
” Oh my poor baby, I’m so sorry, but I promise it’ll all be okay,” Mom says in her sweet comforting voice that helped in calming down my beast, and me a little.
We stayed like that for a while before deciding to go back into the mansion for dinner, not like I was hungry for food.
We walked into the house and the dining room, Dad was already seated with Greg and Leon at the table eating dinner already. I moved straight to an empty chair and sat down without a word to anyone, served myself only a little portion of food knowing I did not have much appetite, and started eating.
” Where are Liam and Macy, are they not coming down for dinner?” Mom asks.
” Alpha has decided not to come down, and have dinner with his mate inside their room instead,” Greg answers, emphasizing on the mate.
His words made my blood boil, Greg simply wanted to get on my nerves and I would not let him do that.
” But no matter how bad it hurts us, He is right.” my wolf says in my head.
” I know, at the end of the day, I lose the girl,” I tell my wolf, who whimpers and retreats to the back of my mind.
Dinner did not go well for me, after taking a few bites, I left the table.
Liam’s POV
Rage and I had a little fun torturing those traitors, leaving them alive, so they can face trial, and then get their verdict. Although Zach is from another pack, I reported the situation to his Alpha, who permitted me to do as I pleased with him.
Zach claims to be threatened by Henry and Finn, saying they used his daughter as bait for him to help them or else they would kill his only child. It is still so surprising to me how a father would want to hurt his daughter’s child and ruin her family.
No matter all the torture Finn went through, he still did not say the reason he did what he did, that old fool is hiding something, and until I find out he’ll lose part of his body every day, I will torture him in a way he will have no other choice than to spill out everything he knows.
I took a shower and had a change of clothes in my office, don’t want to scare Macy with blood all over my body due to the exercise I just had in the cellar, Thereafter, I walked straight down to my room to see her because I missed my mate, I need her scent to make me feel good as always.
Opening the door, her sweet scent drives me to the edges, it calms my wolf and puts us both in a good mood.
Macy is seriously busy typing away something on her laptop, she is off the bed and is seated on the reading desk I have in my room with the table lamp on. I bet she did not even notice my presence in the room, as she solely focuses on whatever she is doing.
Slowly I move toward her and take a peek at the screen of her laptop, and I am shocked by the top research she is doing.
” How long does a werewolf species live? Can werewolves have children? Can a human turn into a werewolf if bitten?” I read out loud.
She turns around, surprised to see me, and immediately closes her laptop, with a loud gasp from her mouth.
” Really, Macy? That’s what you’ve been up to,” I say, pointing to her laptop.
” Why did you sneak up on me like that?” she says, blinking her eyes.
” Don’t try to change the topic Macy, why are you researching all that?”
” I simply was eager to know more about your kind, that’s all,” she says playing with her hands placed on her lap.
” So what did you find out about us, Macy?” I ask with a smile on my face.
” A lot, it says here that the ever-first man to change to a wolf is Kiensten Grift. An astrologist from North Africa, also says here that a werewolf can live for as long as a thousand years old without aging.”
I could not hold myself as I burst into laughter, after laughing to my heart’s content, I looked up at Macy who had a “Why are you laughing?” look on her face.
I take her hands in mine and led her to a couch opposite the bed that was wide enough to contain five people.
” Macy, not everything you see on the internet is true, so don’t believe all that you read online, okay,” I say to her while holding her hands in mine.
” So you don’t live for a thousand years?”
” No, we do, actually that part is correct,” I tell her with a serious tone.
Her eyes open wide at my answer, “So how old are you?”
