The Third Person’s POV
"About right before you ca in, another feeling washed over , and I felt relief and grateful." He gives Matt a side eye. They are both thinking the sa. The only reason any of their mates would give of feelings so strong they could travel through the realm border was if sothing happened to their babies or their family. Then the question was, which one of those possibilities was to hope for? The answer. None. But sothing had clearly happened.
Jason looks around the room. He does not know how long he was out for? He only knew sothing terrible and then wonderful had happened to Ellie. Jason didn’t want to think more about it, because the possibilities of what had happened frightened him. Instead, he looked around at the anxious faces in the livingroom, and they stopped at the pretty brunette standing beside his gamma. The way Jeremy was holding the young woman at his side made it clear what had happened.
Jonathan, seething a little with jealousy, shook his head. He was all for finding one’s mate, but he didn’t know if he wanted to if it turned out to be a non shifter. There was so much they didn’t know, so much they wouldn’t understand. He was, of course, happy for his best mates. They had both found their other half, but he couldn’t help but wonder. The pretty witch girl seed really uncomfortable, which he mind-linked to Jeremy.
Jeremy was over the moon! He had finally found his mate. His other half, and the one holding his heart! He had always been all for the mate bond, being brought up to believe in its magic. His parents had always said; "if you or your sister’s mate is a non shifter, we are moving to a pack where you will be accepted and can be together. It doesn’t matter what species you are, only that you love and respect each other." He smiles down at the gorgeous woman at his side. She is absolutely perfect, and he knows she already owns all of him.
Apollo, his wolf, agrees. She is their everything, and he will protect her until his last breath. This he vows in Jeremy’s mind.
The mind-link from Jonathan is not surprising. Jeremy knows how much he wants to find his own mate, and that his parents also are firm believers in the matebond. But he is, none the less, sad that Jonathan seems he cannot be happy for him.
They are best friends, and have been since childhood, so it’s important to Jeremy that he approves of his mate. But he will never reject her, even if either of his beta and Alpha approves of her. He would rather denounce his title.
Adriana is baffled. They mated her to a wolf. Not any wolf at that? A gamma, and not any gamma either. One of the gammas of the royal pack. She sneaks a side glace at the handso man, claiming her to be his. And she can’t deny it. She feels the pull towards him and the sparks every ti he touches her. Right now, her focus is on the Alphas and their exchange of words. It intrigued her, as it seems they have been feeling their mates from the underworld. It should be impossible. The thought of the underworld makes her uneasy. It has been a long ti now, but the mories still hunt her to this day.
She shifts closer to the furnace that is her mate, seeking his warmth and comfort. He looks at her, his eyes slightly glazed over and his expression shows concern. With his eyes, he asks if she is alright. Adriana takes his hand on instinct, wanting to console him. It’s not him she is uncomfortable with, it’s the topic at hand.
Jason smiles. He knows how it feels to find his mate. Then he frowns when he senses the tension between his beta and gamma. Why are they on edge? He looks closer at the unknown woman, and she, too, seems to be tense. What is going on?
Ordering everyone else to get a move on the move, he mind-links Matt to go with him, Jonathan, Jeremy and the woman whose na he has yet to learn, to his new office. It’s nearly done, and they can be there in peace. Matt nods.
Matt and Jason tell them to co with them upstairs. They want a private word, and a busy livingroom with pack mbers going in and out all the ti, is not a place for such a talk. They take the elevator up to the fifth floor. Brandon follows as a silent shadow. He knows Adriana; she is a good person, a loyal friend to Morgan and a great witch, and he will protect her is necessary.
In the office everyone takes a seat in the couch and chairs. All looking at Jason and Matt.
"First. Jeremy, if I am not mistaken, this is your mate?" Jason asks, one eyebrow lifted. Jeremy blushes and nods.
"I’m sorry I haven’t introduced myself, Alpha. My na is Adriana. I am Mother Morgans, second in command." The young woman says quietly, her head down, not daring to look anyone in the eyes. She had heard rumors that so werewolves kill other species if they find them impolite. She is not sure of her status here, yet, so she will play it safe.
Jason lifts an eyebrow at her deanor, looking utterly bewildered between her, Jeremy, and Matthew.
"Adriana, please look at ." Jason says gently, not wanting to scare the poor thing. She looks up, her face determine and her eyes guarded.
"You are mates with one of the packs gammas. That ans you will be one of our gamma females if you accept him. If you reject him, you will keep your current status. You will, of course, still be Morgan’s second in command. That will not change, no matter what you choose. Do you understand?" Matt says, just a gently. Sothing seems to have scared her.
"I accept the terms, and I accept Jeremy. He is a hunk. Have you seen him?" She claps her hands over her mouth. Did she just say that? The room erupts in laughter, and the atmosphere eases considerably.
They keep talking amongst each other, Jonathan mind-links Jeremy and apologies, he just worry about his best friend. Jeremy gives him a gawatt smile in return.
Just as they are about to go out to help with the last of the move, Blade and Draco both wake up with a growl. Matt and Jason feel it, too. They are back. Then a mind-link roars in Matt’s head.
’MATTHEW, CO QUICK! IT’S ABIGAIL!’ He feels the panic set in, when Galaxy whimpers in his head.
’We’re at the new bedroom, its bad.’ Then she closes off the connection and Matt’s blood turn cold.
