Rati POV:
Thank the Mood Goddess my mother is alive and James is coming with us. A part of me wanted him to stay here. Because I know Michael will make his life a living hell just to prove a point. First, I must talk to my mother and then figure out what I am going to do. I can feel Michael and Gar looking at me. I can't believe James was my second chance mate all this time and knew bit did not say anything to me.
“What are you going to do with James?”, I asked not looking at Michael.
“That is none of your concern", he said I can feel the anger in his tone.
“He is mate so it is my concern”, I said turning and staring at him in the eyes/
“NO! HE IS NOT YOUR MATE I AM!”, Michael yelled.
“Mike, chill out. To answer your question Luna, he will be given a job like all of our Omegas. He will be feed and clothes for his service”, Gar said.
“Yeah, regular Omegas but not Alphas”, I said with attitude.
“Luna all of our wolves are treated with respect and care you shall see”, Gar said.
“How is my mother?”, I asked worried about her.
“She is fine as per our pack doctor. She is healing very well and fast”, Gar said with a hint of hope in his eyes.
“I want to see James once he is settled. I want to make sure he is not hurt. And that he is healing from his wounds”, I demanded.
“NO!”, Michael yelled.
“YES, I NEED TO KNOW HE IS OKAY!”, I yelled at him with pleading eyes.
“Luna how about when everyone is settled in, we can talk about it again”, Gar said,
“Sure”, I said with a shrug.
Taking a deep breath, I thought about my mother and the women I helped escaped. I hope they found shelter in our allied packs if not they will be going from hotel to hotel until they found a place to call home again. I need to find a way to call them and check on them. We pulled up to a black gate there were four guards who opened the gate for us.
As we drove up the road, I see wolves in the forest bowing to the car. The forest is beautiful full of game and life. We pulled up to a black huge mansion there was a woman waiting outside with a huge smile on her face. She is wearing a black lace dress with heels she must be the Luna. The car stops and Michael and Gar get out, the woman runs to Michael and hugs him while Gar helps me out of the car.
“Mother this is Rati Nymph my mate”, he says introducing me to his mother.
“Pleasure to meet you. It seems both of my boys met their mates today. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for my son to find his other half”, she said with a smile.
“It's a pleasure to meet you as well Luna”, I say with a bow.
“Hush, child I am no Luna. You can call me Lures. Now come inside and I will show you to your room”, Lures said as she pulled me inside. I am confused she said she is not a Luna.
“I do not get a hug mom”, Gar said to Lures faking sadness.
“Of course, my boy I am so glad you are home as well”, he said then gave him a hug.
We walked into the house I must say it is beautiful inside the walls are grey with black accents. The floor is made of the same black marble as the outside. There are no family pictures on the wall, not one. I notice how she is looking at me while we ride the house elevator up. When the elevator stopped, she got out for than me. I followed her down the dark hallway. And when I mean dark, I mean the walls are black as well as the floor. Their only light is from the chandlers that are producing red lights.
“Here is your room, I added some stuff to make it female-friendly my son it's not keen on feminist stuff”, she said as she opens the door.
“Your son?”, I asked confused why would he make my room to his liking.
“Yes, this room is yours and his”, she said with a smile.
“I am sorry is there another room I can have. I cannot share a room with him”, I said trying to hold in my anger.
“Dear I know this must be all hard on you. I know I was in the same situations years ago. But trust me you are far better off than I was. I know my son has a reputation but tryst me he is a huge softly”, she said with a smile.
“You are a Luna you cannot possibly understand”, I whisper holding in my tears.
“I do, I am going to tell you my story as for my son's story he will have to tell you his himself”, she said with a smile.
“I was an Omega of a pack that does not exist anymore. The old Alpha of this pack Cavit took attacked our pack killed all the men and the women and children. I was sixteen at the time the ripe age for breeding. The Harem became my new home, all of the men wanted me but since I was a virgin, I was the Alpha's to break in first. I thought he would be a tyrant but he was not. A part of me will like to think he cared for me. Other men were not allowed to touch me. Then one day I found out I was pregnant it was the best and worst day of my life. It was the same day he found his mate”, she said with sadness.
I could not believe my ears Michael is a Harlem baby. His father was the former Alpha, his mother is an Omega. How the hell did the pack let him take over? I got so many questions but I do not want to intrude on her life story.
“When I told him I was pregnant he was okay with it he did not care either way. He was just happy he found his mate. She on the other hand demanded he kicks us out of the back. If it wasn’t for Gar's father the Beta at the time, I would have been made a rouge. He convinced Cavit to not kick me out and that he will make me his ward. Cavit agreed as long as his mate did not see me or the baby around the pack. Cavit builds us a house in the wood still on the pack lands but far enough from everyone”, she said wiping a tear.
“The Beta why did he do it? Why did he take care of the two of you?”, I asked a little too interested.
“I was his second chance mate but we didn’t find out until I was eighteen. He had his own mate she died giving birth to Gar on my eighteenth birthday. He trained both the children to be great warriors they grew up like brothers. So, see honey sometimes sad beginning led to happy endings”, she then hugged me and left.
That was a lot of information to take in. Michael is mean and hard because he had to be. No one respects a bastard from an Omega. I can only imagine what he went through werewolves can be assholes. I looked at the room, just noticing the California king has black satin sheets on the. Looking around some more I find the walking closet which looks like a room of its own. There are women's clothes in them, the dresser drawls have women's underwear. Did he get all of these for me or are they from another woman? I take a nightgown and see it still has the tag on it. Looking at the other women's clothes there are tags on all of them and are all my size.
Michael got them for me or maybe his mother did. I take a pair of underwear and a bra. Walking into the ensuite I noticed it is a bathroom, with black marble from the ceiling to the floor. Everything is black besides the tub; it is a huge gold one. I need to clean up then find my mother. While I waited for the tub to fill, I add bath oil to it. The bath is giving me life my aching body is finally relaxing.
Tears start to fall, fall for my mother, my pup, and James. I need to make sure he is alright as well. If I would have known I would have left with the other women. s**t, the other women I need to check up on them. They may be worried about me as much as I am them. First mother, then James, then the women in that order.
