Filed to story: Wolf Crying Mate of the Alpha by Jazz Ford
‘You can’t do this Hank; you can’t force me into mating one of your sisters.’
‘I won’t force you, Magnus. You will choose to do it to save your friend. If I let slip, she has a curse. We all know they will hunt her down like a witch and killed even by members of your own pack.’
My wolf growls and I yell in pain again. Zak and Flint help me stand. Nina gives me a worried look.
‘You can’t do this Magnus; you can’t choose one of them and pretend she is your fated mate! I can pack my stuff; I can leave Shadow Crest right now. I could never live with myself if you had to live with and mate with someone you didn’t want to be with.’
‘No, I could never live with myself if you ever left Shadow Crest… left… me. No matter where you would go, someone would also be after you until they found and killed you.’
‘What do we do?’ she cries.
Zak, Flint, Josie, and May watch us with sorrowful faces. Anyone would think we were at a funeral if they saw us.
‘I will do whatever it takes to protect you, Nina.’
‘Which sister is the oldest?’ I ask.
‘That would be Addison.’ He smiles.
‘You can’t be seriously thinking about doing this, Magnus?’ Josie says.
‘What other choice do we have?’
Josie gives Hank a glare. ‘We could kill him?’ she smiles.
‘Josie, that would only make the situation worse, especially if the evidence is led back to us as the killers.’
Hank is looking at us, mortified that murdering him could be an option.
‘If you ever tried to kill me, Moss would know you were all behind it.’
He is right, but I already knew killing him wouldn’t help the situation.
‘What if your sisters want to find their fated mates?’ I ask.
‘Please, Magnus, we all know you’re a catch and going to be one of the best and strongest Alpha’s in the land, and with a pure white wolf, any she-wolf would give up their fated mate up in a heartbeat.’
‘I need time to consider this, at least give me that?’
‘Fine, I will inform my father and Addison of the proposal in the meantime and that you will consider it, but I won’t mention Nina’s little curse to them… for now, anyway.’ He smirks.
‘Let’s go home.’ I say to everyone.
We return home and meet in Nina’s bedroom.
‘We need to all brainstorm a way out of this. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to have a mateship with Addison.’
Everyone nods as my mother, Astrid, knocks on the door.
‘Time for dinner everyone she yells.’
‘Okay.’ We shout back at her.
We all fist pump each other and walk downstairs and join our parents for dinner.
‘I hope you have been taking it easy today, sweety?’ Amelia asks Nina.
‘Of course, mother.’ she forces a smile.
‘You lot are extra quiet tonight.’ My dad says.
‘It’s just been a long weekend, dad; it was my wolf ceremony after all and Nina was in a car accident as well.’
‘That’s true. Seth was able to speak with Moss today.’ He says. We all give each other a look and stare back at my dad to speak.
‘He had some cuts and bruises, but otherwise, he is fine. He said Nina, and him left the ceremony at their own will as it was too much for Nina to watch. When he saw he was being chased and attacked by your wolf, he freaked out, causing the car to crash. Moss knew you were only there to bring harm to him and not Nina, hence why he left Nina, knowing she would receive immediate care. He thought it best to flee for his own safety and to not take the need for medical attention off Nina by him being there.’
‘Well, that explains that.’ Mother says.
‘Are you saying that Magnus is the one that put my daughter in danger and not Moss?’ Leon growls and glares up at me.
The room goes silent. Nina tries to speak, but the words don’t come out.
‘I would never intentionally put Nina in danger. She was supposed to be there while I shifted and Moss wouldn’t allow her to stay.’
‘Even so, Magnus, that’s no reason to hunt someone down! The car accident never would have happened if you never went after Moss in the first place.’ Leon growls.
‘If Moss hadn’t taken her away from me, then it would not have happened.’ I growl.
‘Magnus, you are soon to be the Alpha once you find your mate. Your selfishness and recklessness have me worried that you might put this pack in jeopardy.’
‘How dare you speak to me your future alpha that way.’
‘How dare you endanger my daughter’s life!’
My dad slams his fist on the table, silencing us both.
‘Leon! Magnus! You both need to stop this. This was an accident and thankfully Nina will be alright.’
‘Dad, he is right, it was an accident. Magnus would never do anything to hurt me.’ Nina cries.
Leon and I look down in guilt for upsetting her.
‘I’m sorry Magnus, I just couldn’t imagine my life without Nina.’
‘I’m sorry too. I also could never imagine my life without Nina.’ I reply.
We both give each other a small nod to accept each other’s apology.
Nina has stopped crying and smiles at us both.
‘Thank you, daddy,’ I hear her whisper.
We eat in silence and welcome the change of topic.
‘Zak, you will have your wolf in a few weeks, then Nina will get hers a few weeks after that. Are you both excited?’ my mother Astrid asks.
