Chapter 22 - Present - Giselle
"Noah... Put Giselle's bags in our car. We'll leave as soon as she calms down." Holding the she-wolf's hand more firmly, the Vampire woman said to her other half, convinced to help Elle with anything she could. "We must go to Coleman right away."
Perhaps the others in Mirror Night wouldn't notice the truth in her Mate at first, just like how Noah hadn't realized earlier either.
Yet, it didn't mean that wouldn't happen at some point if someone decided to pay a little more attention to him as Ria had done with Giselle.
So, the other female was more than sure that if this was something the Winter Witch could help the young Alpha with, it should be done as soon as possible since silence was better than the attention of thousands for someone like Elle.
"... Elle, you..." Noah wanted to ask his childhood friend one more time if she was entirely sure about this.
But as he looked at her weaker self, he just couldn't do it before his gaze met Maria's, wordlessly asking her to take care of the she-wolf when he left to follow her orders.
And though the woman hadn't said anything about it... The Alpha of that little family Pack also picked up some clean clothes for them, changing those in their suitcases before he, once again, put them in the car while the Vampire continued to talk with Giselle.
...Making him unconsciously reflect on how much his Mate seemed to have changed but was still so similar to when he first met her as well when it was about their friends...
"... Can we go now?" With a gentle voice that seemed to belong to a mother, or a mom-to-be in her case, Ria asked Elle when Noah told her that everything was ready.
Giselle soon agreed with her, and after that, it didn't take them much longer for a second trip to begin towards the older Pack, and after a few hours and some changes of transportation, they finally arrived at the large farm that was Coleman…
"I was starting to think you didn't remember Jordan anymore now that you have your own Mate." The Werewolf who welcomed them was none other than the Gamma, Arcana, who soon joked with her Vampire friend.
"I don't think you can say much about me." And as she remembered how passionate the powerful wolf was for her Sea Mate, Ria shared her viewpoint on that matter before greeting her. "... But only you are here to welcome us? Where are Jo, his wolf, and the annoying pups?"
As if the Werewolf she was talking about was just an animal her friend had instead of being the almighty Alpha of that Pack, who was pretty famous among other Supernatural Beings, she asked Arcana as they entered the Pack's house.
"Liam had some business to take care of in another town, but Jordan heard they had a ski resort there, so he said it was the perfect time for a family trip out of the blue, and well... Liam didn't have many other choices about it besides helping with their bags."
Informing them about the Alphas' absence, the Gamma was careful with her words while she observed the other she-wolf with them.
"But you guys don't have anything to worry about. He informed my brother and me about the reason for your sudden visit, as well as all the special care you might need during your stay here..."
With her eyes on Giselle, Arcana started to say before her gaze moved on to Maria.
"Goddess! I can't still believe that you two will have a little Hybrid to join Lucy and Ryuuta running around the Pack's land soon."
Honestly, more shocking than Giselle's story, it had been hard for the Gamma to believe that the Vampire was pregnant after Jordan told her about it, but it was even more shocking to Arcana when she sensed that it was true before she showed them their rooms there.

Probably because of the time we had arrived, the Coleman was pretty quieter than the last time I had been here. r
And although it was like something that happened the other day, more than a year had passed since then, even though time didn't seem to have moved on for all the things around me as it had for others.
"I can see why they said you need my help in a very unusual way..."
I almost fell over when I turned around to see the Winter Witch standing there, startling me as I didn't even know when she had gotten in my room.
"You were so lost in your thoughts that I doubt you would have noticed me even if I had kicked the door down or blown it off."
She said, coming to the bed, where she used her powers to create space between my things to sit.
"But back to what I was saying, this room is literally blue due to all the negative emotions dominating your aura." Unable to deny that she was right, I just remained silent, listening to what she had to say to me as I needed her help no matter what.
"Yet again, I recall that the first time I met you, I noticed how... Peculiar? ... Complicated? ... No, how unique your mating was... Just like you, if I must say." Honestly, I was aware that I shouldn't be afraid of her, yet it was how her words made me feel as she kept speaking. "An Alpha who doesn't want to be an Alpha... A mating that shouldn't have happened... A pup that doesn't belong to you but that you love as your own. I must say that you have all the unthinkable things on your plate at this very moment."
"That's not true! Several Werewolf Mates had children before they met each other, and they love them as their own, just like Alpha Jordan do!" Unable to hold back on that, I ended up saying back to her since my greatest weakness has always been my pup in the last couple of years.
However, unlike any reaction I could have expected, Winny just smiled back at me as if she had seen something she liked before going on.
"You are right... Sometimes it is painful when the little ones are born when they already know each other, but that is not enough to weaken the bond between you, even if that little life is a constant reminder that you will never have them."
Almost as if she could read my thoughts, her last words shocked me even more as everything I had in mind was my pup, who would be sad in a few hours when he woke up and didn't find me in my room as usual in the morning.
"Of course, that could only be applied to you if there was nothing between you two, and that bond wasn't complete yet. But, that is not your case, and you could easily claim it all as your own, so... If the reason you came here is to ask me if I can help you make it disappear, the answer is yes. That's pretty simple to do, although I can't say the same about any side effects it might have, leaving me just with one big question to do... Do you truly want my help?"
