All their attention was on their Alpha Raven, who was standing in front of them. “I am honoured to host this kind of party because I know that all of you will make time to be here. Thank you, my dear pack!” Alpha Raven told them, and they gave him a round of applause. “Get your glass because I’m going to reveal a surprise right in front of all of you.” He added, and Flora immediately looked at Stella.
Flora held Stella’s hand, which made Stella look at her. “I am fine, Flora!” Stella assured her, and Flora nodded her head. They looked in front, and Stella was listening to their alpha while drinking her wine. She knew their Alpha Raven would tell their pack about her match with Brandon.
She stopped drinking her wine when Alpha Raven looked at her, “Remus and I got into an agreement between our family. But our agreement conflicted, and someone was enduring the pain alone.” Alpha Raven said while looking at Stella. He smiled at Stella, which made her cry.
Flora immediately looked at her best friend when she noticed Stella was crying. “Are you okay?” Flora whispered at her, and Stella immediately wiped her tears. “Yeah, I’m fine!” Stella answered and tried to focus on their Alpha Raven, who was talking in front of them.
“What’s going on?” Daisha asked Brandon when she noticed something was off. Brandon looked at her and caressed her arm, “I don’t have any idea!” He answered.
Brandon was looking around when his eyes met Stella’s gaze. Stella was sitting far from them and immediately looked away when she noticed that Brandon was looking at her.
“A huge revelation, huh?” A man said while standing near the door. He looked around and saw Stella who was listening to their Alpha Raven.
Brandon was scanning the area when his gaze met his brother’s eyes. “What is he doing here?” He whispered to himself, which made Daisha look at him. “What’s wrong?” Daisha asked him and looked around. Brandon shook his head and tried to focus on his father.
“I still have your attention, right?” Alpha Raven joked around, and his pack agreed with him. “I was saying that Remus and I decided to match his younger daughter to my eldest son!” Alpha Raven added, which surprised them. Remus walked towards their Alpha Raven and faced the crowd.
Stella froze at what she heard and looked at Brandon, who was also confused about what was happening. “What the hell!” Sky murmured and looked at Stella. He tried to reach her, but Stella leaned on her chair.
“Did I hear our Alpha Raven right?” Flora asked them and looked at her brother. Sky nodded his head, which made Flora startled.
“Dang! What a huge revelation!” Tyros said while shaking his head in disbelief. He was sitting beside Brandon and tried to ask him, but Brandon was spacing out. Their attention went to Brandon’s older brother as soon as he walked towards their Alpha Raven’s position.
“If you are not familiar with my firstborn, let me introduce him to you. He is Theo Alarick, my eldest son!” Alpha Raven said and smiled at Theo. “Thank you!” Theo told his father and looked around.
Alpha Raven looked at Stella and called her to join them on the stage. “Come here, Stella!” He said, and Stella stood up from her chair.
Sky tried to stop her, but Stella was already far from him. “Stella is not a thing that will use-
“They might hear you, Sky!” Flora cut what her brother was saying. They watched Stella go to the stage, and Sky shook his head in disbelief. “But-
“It is their family’s problem now, Sky! Don’t try to meddle with them!” Their father appeared and sat beside them. “Do you know about this, Dad?” Sky asked his father, “Nah! It is an accord between their families, so I shouldn’t involve myself in it.” Beta Helias answered, and their attention went to the front.
Remus looked at the table where his firstborn was sitting with Brandon, “I’m sorry for the trouble that my firstborn made.” He told their Alpha Raven. Stella heard what his father said and looked at her sister.
“I also want to apologise for my youngest son’s behaviour towards Stella.” Alpha Raven answered and smiled at Stella. “It is fine, Alpha Raven!” Stella answered and looked at Theo, who was standing near her. “Why don’t we have a toast?” Alpha Raven told his pack, and they raised their glass to make a toast.
“Hi!” Theo greeted Stella as soon as they left the stage. “Hi!” Stella also greeted him back, “Can we talk?” Theo asked her, and Stella nodded her head. They went outside the venue and walked towards the garden. “Sorry for the trouble that my family caused!” Theo told him, which made Stella smile at him.
“My sister is involved in it so it is our family’s problem!” Stella answered, and they both laughed at each other. They stopped walking when they reached the bench inside the garden. “I actually didn’t know you! I know that Brandon has an older brother but I didn’t expect that it was you.” Stella said, and she didn’t know why she felt close to Theo. “They are trying to hide me!” Theo answered, which made Stella stop smiling.
“Oh! I’m sorry!” Stella told him, and they looked at each other. “Hey! I’m just kidding!” Theo started laughing at him when he saw how Stella took his joke seriously. “What?” Stella asked him, and she was confused by what he said. “Nah, don’t think about it-
“So, you are here!” Brandon appeared, and they looked at him. “What are you doing here? You are already enjoying her company, right?” Theo told him, and Brandon smirked at his brother. “What are you planning, huh?” Brandon asked him, which made Theo smile at his younger brother. “Just leave, Brandon!” Stella went between them, and Brandon looked at her.
“You trust him now?” Brandon asked her, “Why not?” Stella answered him, and they looked at each other. Brandon nodded his head and started walking away. “Don’t mind him!” Theo told her, but Stella couldn’t answer him.
After the party, Stella got all her things packed. Remus was waiting for his daughter when Daisha went to him. “Dad!” Daisha called him, and he immediately looked at her. “I don’t want to talk to you right now, Daisha!” Remus told his daughter, “Just hear me out, Dad!” Daisha answered and tried to talk to her father.
Stella went downstairs and saw Daisha leaving, “Let’s go home!” Remus told her, and she nodded her head. Daisha was looking for Brandon, but she couldn’t find him. “I didn’t expect that it was true!” Sky appeared, which made Daisha look at him. “Don’t lecture-
“I am not, this is a warning! Don’t ruin your sister again!” Sky cut what she was saying and walked away. Daisha smirked while watching Sky leaving her, “He has the guts to tell me that!” She whispered to herself and looked for Brandon again.
Brandon went to his father’s room and saw his father talking to his brother, “What was that?” He asked his father. “Why, Brandon? I’m just making your life easier!” Alpha Raven answered and looked at Theo, “You should leave now!” He told his firstborn.
“I will be back tomorrow!” Theo said and started walking towards the door. Brandon just watched his father leave the room, “What’s in your mind and you do that to me, huh?” Alpha Raven asked him. “I’m in a relationship with Daisha when you told me that I need to be Stella’s mate. I can’t dump Daisha for someone I didn’t like!” Brandon answered, and Alpha Raven caressed his head.
“Then you should tell me that right before I made an accord with Remus.” Alpha Raven told him, “I just didn’t want to disappoint you.” Brandon answered, which made Alpha Raven laugh at him. “I am already disappointed in you, Brandon!” Alpha Raven told him, and Brandon went silent after hearing that from his father.
“Is that so?” Brandon asked his father while looking down, “Leave now!” Alpha Raven told him. Brandon didn’t have a choice but to leave the room, and he saw Theo outside. “Oh! You made our father disappointed in you!” Theo told him, and Brandon immediately grabbed his shirt.
“Why did you come back, huh?” Brandon asked him, and Theo just smiled at his younger brother. “You didn’t want me to be here?” Theo asked him too and pushed Brandon away from him. “What are you planning to do, huh?” Brandon asked his brother, and he could feel the heat on his body. “Claiming what is mine!” Theo answered and walked away. Brandon shook his head in disbelief and went outside.
Brandon couldn’t hold his rage anymore and shifted into his wolf form. He ran into the woods and made himself tired, “Brandon!” He stopped running when he heard Daisha’s voice. He shifted into his human form and walked towards Daisha’s place. “What are you doing here?” He asked her, which made Daisha glare at him. “I can’t go home!” Daisha answered and sat on the broken tree.
“I also didn’t want to go home!” Brandon answered and sat beside her, “Then let’s stay here for tonight!” Daisha told him. “You need to go home!” Brandon answered right away, “I told you I didn’t want to go home!” Daisha said and stood up.
“I’m tired of bickering right now, Daisha!” Brandon told her and stood up from the tree. “I want to be alone!” He added and walked away. Daisha couldn’t believe what Brandon did, and she just looked at his back. “What the hell!” She murmured and shook her head in disbelief.
The next day came, and Stella was having her coffee in their garden. Remus went to the garden to talk to her, “Are you fine with your new mate?” He asked his daughter. “Yeah, I’m fine with him!” Stella answered and tasted her coffee. “Wow! That is different from when you heard about Brandon that time!” Stella’s father told her, which made her smile at him.
“I don’t know! I feel comfortable around him!” Stella answered and smiled while looking at the flowers. “Will you accept your sister’s apology?” Remus asked her, and Stella’s smile faded from her face. “I don’t want to talk to her!” Stella answered, and Remus nodded his head. “She didn’t go home last night.” Remus told his daughter, “That’s good!” Stella answered and stood up.
“I will visit Flora!” She told her father, and Remus nodded his head. “Have fun!” Remus told her, and Stella went inside their house.
Stella took a bath and after that, she went to Flora’s place. She was knocking on the door when it opened, “Stella!” Sky said when they saw each other. “I want to talk to Flora!” Stella said, and Sky opened the main door for her. “She’s in her room.” Sky told her, and Stella nodded her head. “Thank you!” Stella said and walked towards Flora’s room.
“Come in!” Flora yelled from inside her room, so Stella opened the door. She went inside the room and found Flora doing her makeup. “Where are you going?” Stella asked her, “I have a date with Tyros!” Flora answered. “What? So, I can’t talk to you right now?” Stella asked her, and Flora nodded her head. “I’m free tomorrow!” Flora told her right away, “Yeah! I will just go to the woods alone!” Stella said while shaking her head.
“Why don’t you invite your new mate?” Flora asked her, and Stella immediately shook her head. “I can’t do that!” Stella answered, and Flora laughed at her. “Why? He is your mate!” Flora answered, “I know, but he’s busy!” Stella said and the door opened. “Someone is looking for you, Stella!” Sky appeared, and he was throwing death glares at Flora. “Who?” Stella asked and stood up.
They went outside Flora’s room and walked into the living room, “Hey!” Stella was startled when she saw Theo there.
