Chapter 23

**ELLA**

The following morning, I woke up and did not find Wyatt in the room. I get up immediately and run outside the room. I sniff the air and follow his scent which is coming from the third floor. My steps stopped outside Jonathan's office and I hesitated to open the door. I can't understand how heavily I was sleeping and didn't notice when he walked in and picked him up from the room.
*Where were you?*
*I did not feel threatened*. Aria answered me
*Should I start worrying about your senses?*
*If it was someone else, I would have felt it.* She growled and I did not continue the conversation.
She's right, after all, it was Jonathan who came in.
I looked down and saw that I'm still in my pajamas, I do not know if I should go change before I see him, anyway now I'm not worried about Wyatt.
I turned to leave when the office door opened and I stopped.
"Won't you come in?"
I turned and saw Jonathan leaning against the door with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He had a crooked smile on his face and for a while it made my heart melt.
"I was just looking for Wyatt."
"I came and picked him up 2 hours ago but I did not want to wake you up."
"Thank you. I will take him now to do your job in peace."
"I don't mind. I like to have him with me." This phrase sounded a little harsher to him. I tilted my head to look inside the office and saw Wyatt laying on the carpet with a lot of papers in front of him and various markers. It was so quiet, as always.
"Mum!" He shouted at me when he turned his head and saw me, he immediately got up and ran into my arms.
"How are you?"
"Painting." He told me not so clearly with his voice.
"Do you want to go play outside?" Jonathan said.
"No need, you will definitely have a lot of work to do," I answered
"Nothing is more important."
Wyatt was already by his side, jumping with joy.
"Wolf?" He asked and I gasped.
It happened many times that I sat next to him in my wolf form and he just played with my tail or my fur. Basically, his favorite game is that he wants to uproot my tail. I looked hesitant at Jonathan and did not know if Zeus would be so patient with him. He obviously understood my anxiety
"He is also his son, and he really wants to meet him up close." He said in a serious manner.
I nodded and bent down to give Wyatt a cheek kiss.
"I love you very much."

**JONATHAN**

Wyatt and I went out and immediately Wyatt started pulling my hand
"Wolf?" He asked again and again and of course, I could not say no.
I made sure he would not go anywhere and then I went behind a tree. I took off my clothes and shifted. Zeus was excited to play with our son because that is the truth, he is his son as much as he is mine.
When Wyatt saw us, he started running towards us and the Zeus lay on the ground in an attempt to be at the same height as him but again he was smaller. He held his head high with his eyes on the child but at the same time, he was trying to hear any possible threats around us.
"So big and black." He said when he approached us and my wolf decided to lick his face. This move made Wyatt fall backward.
*Stupid dog, watch out. He is young.* I started shouting at Zeus who lowered his ears and whined. He got up and started smelling him and checking him if he had hit somewhere but then Wyatt started laughing when our nose touched his belly.
*If you hit him, I will not let you see him again.*
*He is also my child, you can't.*
*You almost did it*
*He is strong.*
But the conversation with Zeus stopped when the little one decided to pull our ear.
For a baby he really has power. I admitted since I did not expect his reaction.
We lay down again but his attention was drawn to our tail that Zeus was ready to uproot from his joy. His laughter echoed among the trees when the fur from our tail caressed his face and he set a life goal to catch it. Knowing my wolf well, I deliberately let him catch it a few times just to see him enjoy his victory, and then again from the beginning.
Fortunately, no one came from this side of the garden, so no one would see this huge wolf playing like a puppy. Not that I did not enjoy it, since it made my son happy, I did not care.
We played for many hours, this kid definitely has alpha blood, he never gets tired. But our game ended when Ella showed up and announced that it was time for dinner and that she will bathe Wyatt. We gave one last lick on Wyatt's face but this time with not much force.
My mate, how much I missed her, last night was intense, all these feelings that left me feeling, I was definitely not prepared. But I'm not ready to forgive her yet. It can not occur to me that she hid the existence of Wyatt and as if all this were not enough, she put herself in danger for so many months. I don't even want to think about what would happen if she hit.
*She's strong.*
*I know, but it is my duty to protect them.*
*Just go and make her happy,*
*You do not help when you act like a puppy.*
*I want her.*
*I want her too.* I know she is deliberately wearing it close to make me notice her but what she does not know is that I will kill anyone else who dares to look at her.
Yesterday I decided to go for a run so as not to be so close to her. This scent of her drives me crazy, all these thoughts that I have in my mind to do to her do not help me at all.
*Let's go dog, we need a cold shower.*
I could see her walking in and my eyes focused only on her ass. I changed and went inside to take this cold bath. My balls will turn blue in the end.
I have not had anything to do with a woman for two years, and this has not happened again since I started having sex.
*Just go.*
*I said no, she has to take her lesson.*
Zeus growled in my head and I blocked him. The pain in my balls is enough, I definitely do not need a headache.
*-Alpha? We need you in the office.*
From Blake's voice, I understood that it was urgent, so I forgot my plan for this damn shower and went to the office.
I found my Beta and my Gamma waiting for me but neither of them raised their heads to look at me.
"What happened?" I asked them.
"One of the patrols found this note pinned against a tree."
Blake said again without looking up and pointed to my desk. I turned my head and saw a piece of paper, grabbed it in my hands and it had a faint smell of rouge on it. Only one sentence was written inside.
The white wolf will be mine.
I punched the office desk and it broke in the middle causing everything to fall but I don’t care. I don’t know who he is but if he dares to set foot in my territory I will definitely make him wish he had never been born.
"Cole double the guards on the patrol and put some around the house."
"Yes, Alpha."
"Blake, make sure about training."
"And the young?"
"Those over 15 will have tough combat training."
"Yes, Alpha."
"And one last thing. Talk to no one about the message."
They nodded and I motioned for them to leave. They may be my best friends but they know when not to push or say more than necessary.
I have a problem now, what will I do with Ella? I certainly can not say anything to upset her and I don’t want her to be afraid but she can't be walking alone outside. I massage my temples trying to find a solution without seeming weird.
"FUCK!!" I shouted and kicked what was left of my desk. I shook my head.
*-Cole arranged to bring me another desk.*
*-Sure.* He responded with a dose of laughter.
I rolled my eyes. It's the 4th desk I had broken in the last few months. I left the office and went straight to my room.
"What are you doing here?" Obviously, everything is against me today, I can't explain it otherwise. The girl smiled at me and made me want to vomit.
"We left something in the middle." She replied, I do not even remember her name, but she is one of many who made their appearance when they learned that Ella was gone.
"Who gave you the right to enter my room?" I growled.
She approached me and touched my forearm. I never thought of hitting a woman before, but this idea now seems very tempting. I took a step back, I don't have time for her.
"Listen..."
"Bella."
"Bella, if you approach me again, touch me or enter my room again, I will put you in the dungeon. Am I clear?"
I used my alpha voice because I really don't want to see her again. She bowed her head and without saying a word went out. Some women just can't figure out when to back off. I may have liked it in the past and I definitely would have taken the opportunity for an easy lay without a second thought but now there is only Ella for me.
I sighed and took off my clothes to finally take this cold shower. Tomorrow is a big day; I have to make sure Ella agrees to my decision without her understanding me.
