Chapter 89
Author's note: Enjoy the long chapter! Sorry for the erratic uploads, I work full time for my state. I can’t say what or where but it’s pretty difficult since this is my first year.
Eric
My mate was asleep on the flight we took to see her grandparents. We had taken the night flight, and we made sure to take all 4 small pups with us so the Queen could have someone to love and spoil. This was Shelly’s idea, and I didn’t mind. It would also mean that we would pretty much have the place to ourselves to do what we wanted, because I knew the moment we step foot in the threshold, I wouldn’t hold my little girl until Monday night on the way back home.
The pups had their attention on cartoons while I made sure to try to appear human, even though I spotted at least 7 other wolves on this flight. They were probably headed to the castle as well, but everyone else on here was human; one was even a priest. He was the one I was the most nervous about. I looked at him, seeing him glance our way until our eyes finally met.
He shot me a knowing look, but I realized he was staring at Isabelle. Her eyes were practically just as amber yellow as Kaiden’s, and I internally sighed. I didn’t like confrontation, but I was stronger than one human. I was on high alert and I linked the other wolves that were on the flight to attempt to warn them.
Because I was an Omega, none wished to listen to me.
I had almost forgotten how wolves treated the weak… like the Omega I was, I was reminded my status in every link, and disregarded... I would get no recognition, and I would not wake my mate for the sake of those who were already warned. Strength is all what some wolves think about. They don’t care about anything or anyone else. If I wasn’t with Shelly in a pack of Princes, I would have been constantly bullied for my weakness and dormant wolf. I sighed feeling defeated. I leaned back, and took a nap, knowing he wouldn’t try anything in the air.
A few hours later, the attendant told everyone to get in their seatbelts, and I helped the pups sit down and behave. They were good kids, just hyper because they were wolves. When Shelly got up, I kissed her on the forehead, and linked her about the priest. She seemed unphased.
/Let him come. He has no right, nor jurisdiction here./ She linked firmly. I nodded, and we held all the pups hands to get off together. We did a headcount once we got off, and walked to the lobby area. She would catch a cab to pick up the rental, while I would sit with the pups in this highly populated place.
“Be safe my little mate.” She said, kissing me on the forehead. I loved this woman, and as much as I wanted to return her affection, I knew we wouldn’t get anything done if I did. She reluctantly left me, while the pups shared Jason’s fully charged tablet. I was charging the rest, strategically planning their entertainment.
“Greetings child of the Horned One, I’m Walter.” Said the priest in a friendly manor. I hate airports.
“Good afternoon child of the Lord of Light, I’m Eric. Also, we come from the Pale Lady.” I said with a fake smile.
“Then I greet you all the same.” He said with a grin.
“Before you start your bullshit,” I took a deep breath. “I am an Omega; meaning it is illegal to harass me. I have no powers and I’m essentially human. I am mated to the Princess of Wolves, and these are our pups as well as the Princes’ pups. Please. Leave. Me. Alone. I do not want the treaty broken for nonsense, you, who wear XIII so proudly.” I say flatly, looking at the little ones. One day they would be strong enough to crush bone with their fingers, and I bet that’s what he was thinking.
“Ah, I’m no longer part of that chapter.” Father Walter took off his priest collar and showed his neck. There was a XIII tattoo that looked like and X was burn-branded over it…. “I’m excommunicated…. And Exiled.” He said flatly. I still felt that he was a man of the cloth, he held an aura that spoke of an untold power that I couldn’t see, so at least his god didn’t abandon him. I began to feel a little sorry for him, he was a Rogue human. Packless. That hit home a little to close….
“I’m sorry to hear that.” I tell him honestly, seeing the pups arguing over whose turn it was. Isabelle and Michelle wanted to watch a unicorn show. I gave a small smile at that seeing the girls tricked them. They had already ‘had their turn,’ but Michelle said that everyone gets their own turn. Me and the Priest both shared a knowing smile.
“I was actually wanting to see the Wolf King if you would let me.” He said looking off into the distance. I blinked twice.
This was beyond my jurisdiction.
“My mate would decide something like that.” I tell him amazed that he would be so bold. He was a human from an enemy sect asking for audience with one who would kill him on the spot most likely. Shelly would say ‘no’, but I didn’t want to disappoint him. I linked her anyway, so she would know. She indeed refused, but I didn’t tell him. I would let her do that herself in case he was hostile.
He held a glare at the pups, then looked at the sky, then at his hands. I wish I knew what he was thinking, because this was making me nervous. Why did they kick him out, not just his unit, but his pack too? I didn’t know how they worked, but I knew I couldn’t trust him.
Shelly linked me to come with the pups, she got a minivan so that there was enough room for each pup to sit by themselves in the 4-hour ride. It was only noon, so we would surprise them before dinner.
He followed me, with his head low, looking at the ground as if he knew our language. There was a chance that he did, it wasn’t that hard to learn. Our wolves were instinctual creatures. We went out the gate together, the pups were in front of me, and the priest was behind me, using me as a shield from my mate. It was a smart move on his part, because the moment she saw him, I could tell she was holding herself back.
“Scram Father, we don’t need the trouble.” She said with a small growl in her voice.
“I don’t want trouble either; I’ve already been through enough trying to get here… I know I’m asking much but I am unarmed, and I need to do this.” He said with conviction, but his head was bowed showing his neck.
Shelly made the ‘read your mind’ face. She had her nose scrunched and her eyebrows furrowed. I didn’t know that trick could be used on other creatures, but she was the oldest of her littermates. Chances are she was the only one who knew how.
“Ok I trust you, but don’t disappoint me.” She said holding in a growl. He sat next to her while I sat in the back with the pups. It made me a little jealous, because of all the things to ever ride with my mate, another male wasn’t one of them. It made me want to break him in half.
The drive was uneventful, if not for her trying to change. I didn’t like that as we got closer, my mate began to smell unstable. She was usually really good at keeping her powers in check and at bay, even when her brothers couldn’t. She wasn’t as strong as them, but she was still more than capable of taking on a large non-ancient male by herself.
I didn’t like the aura of the castle either. You could feel the power of all the old wolves, and even their Omega servants, all the way from the guard gate. This was not a vacation. My vacation would have been to just rest at home, I thought to myself complaining. I knew she could hear me, but she only smirked evilly. I could see it in the rearview mirror.
She stopped the car and handed the guard the large stack of identification papers. He bowed, “Princess, I cannot allow the human to enter here. This place is meant only for wolves unless the King allows it.” He said, glaring daggers at the priest. He would be dead if looks could kill.
“… Do you REALLY want to be the one to tell the king that his granddaughter with a car full of his grandpups are held at the gate because of an unarmed human?” She shot him a glare, her eyes were golden, and he shivered. “Or maybe I should link grandmother; I’m sure she’ll understand.” She smirked.
“NO Please Princess!” He stuttered and bowed lower, pushing the button and the bar lifted to go through.
