The Little King

Chapter 9

The pack house was in great turmoil. Luna was very excited, she ran around the house to see if everything was perfect.

- Luna, take a break and sit down before you have a stroke. - Says Amy, tired of seeing her running around.

- You don't understand Amy. Mark is coming. I haven't seen my angel for 5 years.

- Angel? - Amy says, rolling her eyes.

- Don't roll your eyes at me Amy. Your i***t brother thought it was a good idea to send my son to that school on the other side of the world, and I miss him so much. I want him to arrive and be welcomed by a big party.

- All right, I surrender. But stop running around the pack house. You're getting in the way and driving everyone crazy.

Sarah pouts and throws herself onto the chair.

Amy shakes her head at Luna's childishness and goes to help with the preparations.

- Honey, why are you sitting there sulking?

- Amy says I'm on the way.

Dylan chuckles and bends one knee in front of his wife.

- Let the shewolves do their job. How about we both going to the mall and buying you a new dress and a housewarming gift for Mark?

Sarah's eyes sparkle. She loves shopping for clothes. Grabs her husband's face and kisses him on the lips.

- Let's go.

Dylon laughs, and through mental link calls a car, and they go towards the shopping center.

Sarah ends up buying a pretty blue dress, silver shoes and a matching bag. Then they go into the jewelry store, and buy some pretty cufflinks, with the design of a wolf with diamond eyes for Mark.

Dylan sighed. He had just left a small fortune at the mall to cheer Luna up.

When they return to the pack house, everything is ready, the food is prepared and the best wines are on the table.

- Looks like we're welcome a prince - Kevin says with a smirk, earning a menacing glare from Luna and a giggle from the Alpha.

- Let's get ready. Mark should arrive in 2 hours, if the plane arrives on schedule.

Without saying anything, Luna lets herself be led by the hand to the bedroom.

Ryan, who was helping with the preparations, approaches Kevin and asks:

- Is the Alpha's son unmated?

- I hadn't seen him for 5 years, but if he found a mate, I'm sure he would have told his parents. But he was really cool and independent. When we were young, we drove everyone crazy with our pranks and adventures.

- The Alpha is willing to pass him the title, but wants him to find his mate first. Luna won't be happy if he doesn't find her in the pack and has to go run the other packs looking for her.

- Where did you hear that? And why are you asking about Mark's mate? - Kevin asks.

- The Shewolfs were commenting on that. I think that the single ones are very excited about the idea.

- I believe - Kevin answers, laughing.

The hours passed and some of the guests from other packs started to arrive, but mark was late.

The party had already started and everyone was drinking and eating when the car that had gone to pick up Mark at the airport arrived.

Kevin starts to get restless, and Ryan asks what's wrong.

- I don't know, but something is wrong. My wolf is jumping at my head, making me crazy.

Ryan gets nervous. So many strange people in the pack land, it could be dangerous for him.

When Mark gets out of the car, Kevin stands up and sniffs the air. Mark does the same, and everyone present looks at both of them. Mark steps forward and Kevin runs to him.

- Mate – the two say at same time and kiss passionately.

- I wasn't expecting this one – the alpha says – now instead of finding a luna, I have to find a new Beta. – he chuckles.

Hand in hand, Mark and Kevin approached the table.

- Who knew you would be our new Luna - Dylan said, teasing Kevin.

Kevin grunts, and the entire pack laughs.

After many kisses and hugs, the party continues, with the two new mates disappearing into the bedroom under Ryan's watchful eye.

He was glad Kavin had found his mate. It was a man, but that didn't matter as long as Kevin was happy. But the truth is that Ryan wasn't happy. He was very attached to Kevin, and right now, Mark wasn't going to share him.

Sad, Ryan gets up, takes off his clothes and hides them behind a tree. He makes his bones crack and lets Ice out. He runs fast until near the border, and stops by the river. He changes back and sits down. Kevin didn't even introduce him to Mark. In fact, Kavin totally ignored him, and it hurt him and he didn't even know why.

When the party sounds dead, Ryan changes and heads back to the pack house, getting dressed behind the tree before entering.

When he enters the room, Amy is waiting for him.

- Where did you go? You disappeared in the middle of the party. I was worried.

- I went for a run. Ice was restless and I let him out.

. Next time, let me know, pup. I know I'm not your mother, but I love you like a son.

- OK, I promise - he says with sad eyes.

Amy gets up to leave, but first asks:

- Ryan, are you in love with my son?
