Chapter 111
Dean's wide eyes scan the room. Ambrose chose that moment to appear. “Get this off me now!” I demand a flick of his fingers and I’m rolling my neck. “Let’s not do that again. Now to you dean what will it be?”
“I can’t get will know and that’s a death sentence.” He finally replays collecting himself he straightens his shoulders. Ambrose turns and looks him over. “Tell me boy what coven is your..” stepping closer to Dean sniffing the air. Plucking a strand of hair. “dame’s sire is from?” He finishes. Again dean’s eyes go wide. Shaking his head. “I have no clue what you're talking about.” He sneers.
“Boy, do not play games you won’t win. This room is full of some of the most powerful beings to walk since the gods walked on this plain. The twice-blessed alpha. A child of the cold. A beta line so pure and strong he produced an alpha. One of your mates is the delta of this pack. His one father is blessed with a heart of gold the other was raised with the knowledge of the ancients, a blood relative to the alpha. So do not lie to me everyone in this room and out of this room will know.” Ambrose sneers with such power I can feel it blanket us.
Max and fallen are showing signs of discomfort with small beads of sweat at their hairline. But dean buckled. Falling to his knees on the ground. “that is a fraction of my power the only one in this room stronger than that is the alpha. Do you see anyone in this room bowing to me?” dean looks around noticing the boys in Fallen's arms. Not even the pups are crying meaning the boys are going to be powerhouses. Releasing his aura dean sucks in a breath. “now tell us everything. Do not leave anything out.”
Coughing he nods as he slowly gets up. “first you said one of my mates?” he looks at Ambrose with hope “but I rejected him and he accepted?” Ambrose chuckles “do you know anything about this pack boy?” taking a deep breath he shakes his head. “no sir first I even heard of this pack was when the alpha announced he and the beta were mated to the alpha's adopted daughter and his deltas daughter.” Cocking his head hearing my grumble behind Ambrose. “you have seen princess Eris did you not?” he asks again dean nods his head. “so your gonna look at Enoy and say you believe Eris is adopted?” max growls. Dean looks at me tilting his head back and forth. “e twist the ring” Ambrose says. Rolling my eyes I do. I feel a tickle running over me. Blinking as he gasps out. “how?” twisting it back I see him realize what he’s seeing. “how? But wait does that mean the Luna is as powerful as you? I mean she doesn’t seem all that powerful. she’s never, well she does just do what she’s told, but my wolf can feel his place in this room but with the Luna, my wolf was indifferent towards her. I don’t get it?”
I don’t think he could stop himself from rambling trying hard to make sense of everything he’s been told. “oh for heaven's sake stop scaring the guy. Dean right?” fallen asked with his nod she starts walking across the room. Depositing Vlad in my arms and Tul in Ambrose's arms. “come sit. Those big mean egos won’t hurt you. Do you know why?” she asks. Looking at us he shakes his head. “family is the base of this pack. And you are double lucky to be mates to a pack member but core family member to that big softy over there.” I growl as she wiggles her fingers at me. “huh?” dean gets out.
“Look it’s simple you art practically family to the alpha meaning you are important. She will do everything to keep you safe. Looking around this room do you believe anyone of us could protect you?” he nods tears start to gather in the corners of his eyes. “it's not me I’m worried about it’s my little sister. If the alpha goes looking for me at my parents he will find her. I don’t know what he will do now but he’s killed every witch he’s ever found. My mom was born without magic much to the relief of her parents so when I was born without magic my parents allowed themselves to have another pup. But, but .” “she was born at the apex of a blue moon with enough magic in the air to awaken any suppressed powers.” Dean nods. “she turned thirteen a couple of months ago and well I’m sure you can guess. So to keep him from stopping by my home to check in I did what I had to do I became the yes man. As long as I do what I am told he stays away from my house and Zoe is safe.”
The room is quiet for a moment. “if I can get your family here would that ease your mind?” Ambrose asks tapping his lower lip. Dean nods as I rush out “no” the room stills as every pair of eyes land on me. “wait before you all think I’m being an ass. I want them safe so yes out of that pack. But not here. There is a spy here. In the meeting, I was just at, with a bunch of alphas who are working with the winters and the night coven. Loki is calling the witches to the castle. They plan to take me out and take over the pack at Eos’s pups naming ceremony. Which, correct me if I’m wrong, Am, that can’t be don’t since they no longer have the golden orb of the gods.” Ambrose giggles. “oh the naming happens just not the way it did before and not to the winters. My dear Enoy would you show the young dean here your right palm.” Ambrose sings as he wiggles his finger at Tul. Switching how I’m holding Vlad I hold my right hand out to him. He stares at the silver gold symbol of the goddess Enoy embedded in my palm. “the true line is now born with their mark name.” he claps so proud of himself.
“Am could you take his family to snowpack for now? I am sure Nanook would be happy to get a chance to ask about Tulok.” “oh, that is smart no one would think to look that far north for them. Also, I will put dean under a gag spell. You will be able to answer their questions with just enough, not everyone can find out easily, information to reveal your loyalty. But first, why didn’t your parents leave the pack when your sister got her magic?” “they refused to leave me and I couldn’t just disappear the alpha's sister is obsessed with me.” He half cries.
If I didn’t like this pack before I downright hate them now. “Eris didn’t say anything about your family. Granted we didn’t get to talk line.” “my father was born in the pack. Found my mother on a trip to another pack for an alliance meeting. The crimson river or something. The alpha and Luna had been having a hard time conceiving a pup. So they drug my mother and her mother to the pack house. They forced her to help the Luna conceive a pup. My grandmother’s only request was that her daughter who is magic-less be allowed to leave with her mate. They agreed. So my father brought my mother back with him. They kept that her mother was a witch and her father a wolf. It worked until Zoe turned thirteen.” He stops to take a breath. But he never starts again. He doesn’t really need to. “alright I will gather your family and take them to the snowpack. E I will be back by morning to bless the tree for these two. Max and fallen you make very handsome offspring. The spell may not have worked as planned but I think it worked better. You will have your hands full “ he chuckles as he walks across the room handing Tul to Max. “while you talk remember you can be honest here your family will be safe. I will arrange for a witch to help train your sister as well while up there.” “thank you” Dean signs out.
“Oh, one more thing you and master Kaleb may do all kinds of fun and intimate things. But for the love of us, all do not mark each other yet. As a matter of fact, here E slap these on them while they are touching. They will allow for all but marking to happen. When you are free to mark they will fall off “ and Ambrose is gone.
