His Unexpected Mate

CHAPTER 5

Dylan's POV

Last night, I sent a message to the pack through the mind link for an emergency pack meeting before training. As soon as everyone arrived, I started the session straight away without wasting more time. I wanted to finish this immediately, so I could run to my mate and amend my unpleasant behavior towards her last night.

"Good morning Triton Moon Pack! As you all know, I have already found my mate." Everyone started to cheer at this great news—their Luna.

As soon as I raised my right hand, the cheering of the crowd started to diminish. "But, our situation is quite critical because your future Luna is a human," I continued.

The pack stared at me in shock after hearing this fact, but nobody dared to say anything.

"I am asking every member of this pack to be extra careful not to show any hint of our identity whenever your future Luna is around. Everything will be the same except for the part about shifting to your wolf. No one is allowed to shift within the pack house area or wherever your Luna is present from this day forward. Shifting is allowed only during training within the premises. And lastly, all of you must protect her at all costs. The shifting rules will be lifted as soon as I sort things out with my mate. Do I make myself clear?" I said as I finished my speech.

"Yes, Alpha." Everyone answered in unison.

I gave them a nod and said, "Good! You may all go and continue with your daily tasks."

Phelan, Greg, Bryan, Lance, Mia, and Jean approached me before leaving for my office. Mia was the one to talk first.

"Hey Dylan, I heard what happened to Cailean, but don't worry about that. We are here to help you. Right guys?!" She turned to the rest of the gang, and they all nodded to agree.

"We will do everything with our supernatural strength to help you win the heart of our Luna!" Greg added. I couldn't help but smile at the support they're showing.

"Thank you, guys. I am thinking of going to her room now to talk to her and apologize," I said.

"Wait, why don't you let me go to her room first," Mia suggested. "I have a plan!"

Cailean's POV

It's 8 in the morning. And I couldn't get a decent sleep because I couldn't stop thinking of plans on how to get out of here. I feel exhausted, and I can feel that my eyes are still swollen from crying last night. But I need to freshen up, start my day, and develop a good plan.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face, hoping that it would help to pull myself together. As I reached the sink, I looked in the mirror and got shocked at what I saw. Oh my god! I look horrible. My eyes are puffy, and there are dark circles under my eyes. Gosh, I look like a frog! I quickly decided to take a warm shower to relax my body and lessen my eyes' puffiness.

My body started to relax under the warm shower. It feels rejuvenating. This is the best experience I have had so far after I regained consciousness last night.

I stepped out of the shower after 30 minutes, took the towel hanging by the shower door, and wrapped it around my body after towel-drying my hair.

I went out of the bathroom to get dressed, then I remembered I didn't have any clothes to change, so I decided to wear the same nightgown I was wearing last night. I'm glad that it comes with a robe to cover my body if ever I planned on stepping out of this room.

I was on my way to bed to grab the nightgown when I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door, which gave me the jitters. I stopped for a while and remained standing like a statue while waiting for another knock. But instead of a knock, I heard the voice of a woman. "Cailean, are you awake?". I gave a sigh of relief when I heard a woman's voice and began marching to the door to check who it was. I opened the door just wide enough for me to peep in.

"Good morning Cailean. I am Mia. I hope I did not wake you up?" She said with a sweet apologetic smile.

"Oh, not at all. I just finished taking a shower." I was about to invite her into my room, but I remembered I was just wearing a towel. "Is there anything I can help you with, M-Mia? Mia, right?" I added to confirm that I got her name right.

"Yes, that's right. The one and only Mia!" She said and gave me a wink.

"Can I come in? I have something for you. I know you weren't prepared for this sudden getaway trip. That's why I brought you some clothes."

"Sure! Please come in. Sorry for keeping you standing out here." I opened the door widely and moved to the side, and gave a hand gesture for her to enter.

"Thanks, Cailean!" she said while laying the clothes on the bed.

"I hope you will like the clothes I brought you. Well, you are gorgeous, so I guess any kind of clothes you wear will look perfect on you!" I blushed at her compliment and gave her a shy smile. She returned my smile and stepped closer to me.

"Cai?" She said and looked me in the eyes.

"I know you are scared and worried, but I assure you nothing bad will happen to you in this house. We will take care of you like a family, and I would be delighted to be your friend." She said with whole sincerity.

"Regarding what Dylan told you last night, he just got carried away. After he found you in the woods, he felt responsible for you. He is just worried that you might get hurt again." She added.

"But... Are you related to him?" I asked out of curiosity. She will not defend or explain on his behalf if she's not. Maybe she's his girlfriend. The word girlfriend gave me a pinch of jealousy.

"No, we are not related, but we are very good friends. He took me to his house for shelter five years ago and treated me like a sister. And I became part of his gang. You will meet them all soon." She explained, and I felt relieved after hearing her explanation.

"Come on, let's get you ready for breakfast. The gang is waiting for us in the garden." Mia said with excitement.

"Garden? We are going to have breakfast in the garden? That's fancy." I said in a playful tone. I feel comfortable around Mia. I can see nothing but sincerity in her eyes. Maybe we can be really good friends.

"Yes indeed! Because you are a special guest, we want everything for you to be special. Now, get ready, and I will wait for you downstairs, okay?" I nodded, and she gave me a quick hug and went ahead.

I looked at the clothes to choose what to wear. All of them are beautiful and look expensive. Since it's a garden breakfast, I decided to wear the light pink spaghetti strap dress with flower embroideries on the right side, which comes with a matching hat.

As I finished getting ready, I stood up in front of the mirror to take a final glance at myself. Today will be the start of my great escape plan.
