Dawson’s POV
“Harper Avery, have you seen Peyton?”
“I’m yelling from my offices since I hear Harper talking in the hall.”
“HARPER, I let out my Alpha aura because I don’t have time for her or Peyton’s games today.”
“Damn it Dawson, I haven’t seen our little sister today. What is so f*****g important that you must scream my name and let your f*****g aura out on me, for you know that s**t hurts, right?”
“I am sorry.”
I spat back at her.
“I am stressed our younger sister Peyton has not found her mate and the Alpha from one of our neighboring packs has asked for her hand in mating and he is due to be here in a few hours for dinner and to go over everything and she couldn’t be anywhere, and she has blocked me from linking her. Why does she have to be the one that is disobedient and the one who runs away when she does not want like something?”
I link my parents to see if they have seen her, linking Mom and Dad
“Hey, you two, have has either of you seen or spoken to Peyton today?”
Mom, Answers first
“No Dawson, I have not seen or heard from her since she eats breakfast and left.”
“Is everything okay?” My mother asks.
“Yes and No, Alpha Karter and his Beta Anton will be here in a few hours to go over the agreed mating ceremony for him and Peyton and I had a few things to discuss with her.”
I tell her I hear a loud sigh and I was not sure if it came from my mother or my father, but I asked them what it was about; My father finally chimes in and spoke.
“Son, you know she will not agree to marrying Alpha Karter for a few reasons. The first reason is she hates him. You know that the two of them have a past and she said when they ended their relationship that she will never go back to him again.”
“Father, I understand where you all are coming from, but what am I supposed to do? He wants to mate and marry her.”
“Let me manage Karter, Dawson. She might be at the waterfalls. That is where she likes to go when she has a lot on her mind. Let me tell you if you go there, do not go as her Alpha goes as her brother and talk to her. Understand me, Dawson.”
“Yes, father I understand you clearly.”
Peyton’s POV
Damn, that stupid brother of mine trying to marry off to the cheating bastard of an Alpha from the Black Forest Park. I know Dawson does not understand why I want nothing to do with Karter. He was not here during ours. Relationship, he was away at the Alpha Academy. It was not enough that he slept around with many she-wolves, but he had the nerves to tell me he would reject his fated mate so he could marry me and still cheat on me because I allowed him to do it while we were together. One thing that my parents know either is that he is an alcoholic, and he is abusive when he drinks, he has put his hands on me a few times in the past, but I could cover up the black eyes I know my dad would probably kill him if he knew an only person who knows is my best friend Layla and she about killed him when she seen my face. I hope that sitting here I will calm down enough to go back to the house and deal with this bullshit.
“Peyton, sis. Are you out here?”
“Dawson, what the f**k do you want for the last time? I will not marry Karter. There are things you don’t know, and I am afraid if I tell you to go to war with his pack.”
Look, sis, I am here to talk to you as your brother, not your Alpha. Please give me a little more of an insight on your relationship and why you ended up breaking up. If you want me to support you, I need to know.
“Dawson, I need you to swear a blood oath that when I tell you will just leave it at that and not go to war with the Black Forest pack.”
Dawson’s POV
I went to talk to Peyton can be stubborn, but she has her reason, and she is powerful in her ways. She has never learned how to control her magic; she has had some training with our Aunts, and I know that our cousin the Queen has offered to train her if she will come to the states I might have to call Destiny after I talk with Peyton and see when is the earliest she can come because I will have to have a damn good excuse for her not to marry this fool and for him not to start a damn war over my sister.
“Peyton, if you ever tell anyone I swore a blood oath with you, I’ll kill you myself.”
I chuckled at her. We both cut the inside of our palms and held hands and
“I told her I will carry the secret she is about to tell me to my grave. I will not cause harm to anyone involved in the conversation. This I swear to you my life and my blood, f*****g witches and their oaths.
I let out a loud sigh as my brother and I were sitting at the waterfalls. This is a place where I come to find peace. I found I can control my magic here a lot better. My mother sucks as a witch and she does not have many people she trusts, so I have had to learn my magic on my own when I was younger.
