Gavin's POV
This morning, I was informed that my parents sent for me, immediately I suspected that they had heard all the shouts and screams from the underground chambers, being of Alpha breeds, they are very sensitive to sounds. Emma has retired to my chambers vowing that no one will ever enter there, I was too afraid to go in, to stay with her, not like I'm weak because I can't trust an angry woman. She might do anything to me.
"Tell them that I'm coming." I gave the reply to the servant that was sent to call me. I knew that I had f****d up and the worst thing that's ever going to happen to me is my parents comparing me with my younger brother, Achilles. I saw him while passing through the hallway to my parents' chambers. When they were the serving Alpha and Luna, they had different rooms, except they wanted to make out, then one will go to another's room but since they retired from running the pack, they also retired from the protocols and are now living together, spending the days together, either going to the farm or touring around the countryside.
I'm glad for the environment we live in, we are staying in an high-tech, urban state but the exact location our estate is a bit of countryside with the flowers in the massive field, regular sunny weather but the sun is mild, its beauty and impact really comes out during the summer and during the winter, everywhere is cold and chilly. My previous winters have been spent with numerous girls, who are no longer alive. I regret joining the gang I am in right now, I was lured by a friend when I was in high school. I'm looking for a way to come out of it, I can no longer continue to lose people, especially my fated mate who would increase my longevity as an Alpha and also as a werewolf. That implies that this year's Christmas, I'll be having one of the coolest holidays, I have someone to roll over the bed with, someone I truly care about. Emma has traveled in, hoping to destroy my plans but I don't see her succeeding even though everyone should support her. I love her but I'll choose Miawho is going to bear my pups.
Before winter this year, where I'll make a relocation to the ground floor and to the right wing of the estate which is near the bush where the little animals come to play, Mia would have been pregnant. I can only imagine how romantic it would be sitting by the glass window with my pregnant wife admiring the outside scenario. With the cold preGavinent, I would cuddle her in my arms.
I have serious business this morning, the meeting which I'm quite certain will be held to deliberate on this issue, it's something that can't be avoided. Probably, this is the reason my parents have sent for me. I heave heavily as I walk through the corridor leading to the staircase that leads to my parents' chambers. As I'm walking along, I receive a home call on my phone, I pull it up from my trouser and peer into the screen. It's mom. I click on it, wasting no time in picking the call.
"Hello mom?"
"Yes son, where are you? We are here waiting for you, come to the living room in the chambers."
"I'm on my way mom." I say before she cuts the call. I hasten my steps a little bit, little did I know that someone was following me. When I turned, Achilles was trodding behind me with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Hey, you're going to see mom and dad? I'll be part of the meeting." I give such a disgustful gaze, everyone knows that he has been envying my position as Alpha and there was a time he campaigned for me to be abdicated but my parents wouldn't listen to him. They love me and they want to follow the law even as I didn't find my fated mate. Emma was just there to give me s*x when she came back from the war front. She was not always there, most of the time I was lonely, at other times, I would make out with the varieties of girls I always invited.
I continued walking without even stopping or laying any attention to him. "You're not invited for this interview, I'll appreciate it if you return back." I growl more of an order than a request. "You might not like what will happen if you don't do what I say." I stop not for a second as I say this, I expect him to heed to my words before the next time I turn back.
After ten minutes, I turn and he's no longer following me. He might have left a long time ago but for the fact that Achilles has the ability to mask his footsteps, I couldn't hear that someone was following me. I heave a sigh of relief. He's always looking for an opportunity to create more issues for me, I would never let him if that's what he is planning. I'm sure that's what he must have had in mind for the meeting.
The journey from my chambers to my parents' chambers consumes a bit of fifteen minutes as the area of the estate is very wide. "Finally!" I breathe out heavily as I reach the glass door of the entrance. After all they are my parents, there's nothing to be so formal about, it's only on state occasions, you drop all the protocols and practice formality to the highest degree.
"Hey, good morning mom, good morning dad." I make a slight bow as I walk into the sitting room. The television is on and they are watching some morning shows.
"Good morning." They both reply. "Sit, we want to talk with you," Mom says.
I gently sit on the couch opposite them, supporting my cheek with my hand which is placed on the arms of the couch, my eyes directed towards the television where an interesting romance, action series is going on. The next thing, the television is switched off and it's at a point the guy wanted f*****g the lady.
"What! You treat me like a kid?" I turn over to see that it's dad that turned it off. "I don't get dad, why did you turn it off?" He seems not to hear me, then mom steps up to defend his action.
"Did we call you here to watch the TV or tell us what's happening?" I mumble, not saying anything. I would rather act more mature, I'm no longer under the parental authority of my parents, if at all I'm under any authority from them, it's that of the pack. They still have a strong influence on the pack.
"Mom, I'll appreciate it if you tell me whatever you want to say so I can get out of here on time to attend to other duties. I'm sick and tired of being treated as a child and wouldn't tolerate any of that again." I give a tiring sigh, looking over the window. Being an Alpha is not an easy task, I have a lot of things going on in my head, today I'm going to go on a tour to the Sullivan Military Institute and also the Sullivan Specialist Nursing Center.
With the face I keep, they know that there's no joke in what I just said. "Well," she's forced to yield to my request, same with dad. "We called you to ask about Emma. How did she know you had brought in a mate, news reaching us is that she came in the evening after Mia must have tried adjusting to her new environment."
"Who told you?" My eyes turn yellow with anger. "I would rip off the throat of such a person, who would dare share my privacy with you." On a serious note, I find it disgusting that there's something really bad in Emma coming and my parents know of this but this shows that the person is trailing me.
My mind suspects someone.
