Lakota I look at my phone after I received a message from Lance, and an ahh escapes me when I see the picture he sent me. I turn it towards Aunt Lucy so she can see. She reacts the same as I do, and both Uncle Chris and Uncle Marcos look over my shoulder at the picture. I already asked Lance what they did to be so exhausted, and I hear Uncle Chris chuckle at his reply. "Alice, do you think that a Pup that can outrun an Alpha Pup can become a Warrior?" I ask her, and she tells me that that Pup could even become a Higher rank than that. "Lynn just beat Keir by a split second in a race, and there were two witnesses," I say, and she asks if Keir didn't get mad at her. I turn my phone around as I ask her, "Does it look like he is upset with her for beating him?" She smiles at the picture and tells me that it doesn't look like he is upset with her."Our Son knows that he is still young and that with a lot of training he will become faster and stronger. He also knows that he can't always win, even if he is an Alpha male," Uncle Chris says to no one in particular, and I am glad that Keir was raised to accept defeat no matter what. Josh walks into the room with a serious look on his face and stops right in front of Mylana. "I think Rory is hungry; he put my finger in his mouth and I could barely take it away," he says, and she ruffles his hair as she thanks him before she asks him if he would like to feed Rory. He nods his head, and she tells him to sit down in an armchair, while Aunt Lucy tells Mylana to get Rory, she walks to the kitchen to get his bottle. Josh sits down in the armchair next to Dad and patiently waits until Rory gets placed in his arms before he gets handed Rory's bottle. I snap a picture of Josh feeding Rory with my phone before I turn back to Quinn, who is still looking at the map. Marcos is right behind her pointing at a few places we could look for the hidden territory, but he quickly pulls the map away as the door slams open, and he drops it behind the couch we are sitting on. The same female from earlier walks in, but this time she isn't alone as a male follows her into the living room. From the resemblance, I would say he is either her Father or her Brother. "Alpha Chris, I do not appreciate it that my Daughter gets treated badly by visitors," he says as he steps next to her. Uncle Chris gets up as the female stares daggers at me. "Jeff, first of all, you knock and wait for a response before you enter the Alpha floor. Your Daughter made the same mistake earlier today, and this is the only warning the two of you get. Second of all, your Daughter was the one that was rude to my Niece, and my Niece just reacted to a possible threat. If your Daughter had been treated unfairly, I would have said something; I don't tolerate injustice from anyone, and you know that," Uncle Chris says. "My Daughter has every right to be on the Alpha floor as she is pregnant with Marcos' Pup," Jeff says, and I see everyone turn their heads towards Marcos."They are lying; she is not with Pup," Lotus growls in my head, and I ask her if she is absolutely positive about it. "One hundred percent," she answers, and I link Colton to make sure they can't leave the Alpha floor before I turn to Aunt Lucy. "Aunt Lucy, can you link your Pack-doctor? I think it is wise to get a pregnancy test done before you all look so accusingly at Marcos," I say, and I already see the female getting uncomfortable. "Are you calling my Daughter a liar?" Jeff asks, and I tell him that I would like to know for sure if she is telling the truth, that it would be in the best interest of the Pup to get her check-ups planned. "If she is pregnant, that is, and something tells me that she is actually lying," I say without taking my eyes off his Daughter. Colton opens the door after we hear a knock on the door, and I have to stifle a smile as I see that Doc has brought a portable ultrasound machine with him. Alice offers to help him set things up as he asks the female to pee in a plastic cup. Jazzy and Quinn guide her to the bathroom, and I ask Jeff to take a seat. "Lance, keep the Pups away from the Alpha floor. I will explain everything later," I say through the mind-link, and he tells me they will be in the kitchen grabbing something to eat. It doesn't take long for Quinn and Jazzy to return with Jeff's Daughter, and something tells me she tried something. "Quinn, what happened?" I ask her through the mind-link, and she tells me that she tried to close the door in front of them before she tried to stall. "We found a small bag of urine on her; we left it in the bathroom," Quinn states, and I really feel like punching the Bitch's lights out. "Marcos, I understand that you might not want to answer this question, but I need you to tell me the truth. Did you ever sleep with her?" I ask as I look him in the eyes. "No, Lakota. I never slept with her, and to be honest, I never slept with a female; I am waiting for my fated Mate," he says, and Lotus tells me that he is telling the truth. Someone clearing their throat pulls our attention towards the Pack-doctor. "Alpha Chris, I have the results from the test. It is negative; she is not pregnant," Doc says, and I see Marcos deflate as he hears the news, but that leaves us with a few more questions. "Quinn, grab the bag you and Jazzy took off her and let Doc test it," I say before I turn towards Jeff. "Anything to say for your behavior?" I ask him as I sit down next to Marcos. "I am sorry, Marcos. I should have made sure before I came barging in here and made false accusations," he says as he looks at Marcos. At least Jeff knows that he was in the wrong, and he is not afraid to admit he was wrong, but it seems his Daughter is a bit more difficult. "Marcos is mine," she growls again, and I look at her as Lotus tries to push forward. "Can you please explain why you keep saying that?" I ask her, and I am really curious to hear her explanation. "My Mother told me that Marcos would be my Mate, fated or chosen. Mom has never been wrong about Mates in her life, whether they were fated Mates or chosen Mates," she answers me, and Dad is laughing his ass off, making me wonder what he knows."Your Mother couldn't tell a fated couple from a chosen couple, and she sure as hell couldn't predict who was mated to who. I know why she told you that crap, and it has everything to do with the Alpha family of Crystal Blood Pack. She thought she should have become the Luna, but she wasn't the Alpha's fated Mate. She tried to get him to take her as his chosen Mate with the same trick you tried with Marcos, but unfortunately for her, his family knew he was into males. So she tried going after his younger Brother, thinking that he would take over the Pack as he could give the Pack an heir, but he found his fated Mate. He is sitting right here next to me, and I know your Mother left the Pack a few days after Chris found Lucy, but I never knew where she went. Jeff, was she your fated Mate?" Dad asks him, and Jeff nods his head. Doc tells us that the other sample is positive, and Jeff asks her where she got it from, but she refuses to answer him. "Either you tell us voluntarily, or I will Alpha command you," Uncle Chris growls, and she tells him she took it from the infirmary, but that she didn't take everything to make sure no one would notice. Jeff asks if she knows who the sample belongs to, and she avoids eye contact as she says, "No." Uncle Chris walks up to her as it is obvious that she knows who the sample is from. "Jeff, can I ask you a question?" I ask before Uncle Chris gets the chance to say anything; he nods his head, and I ask him if his Mate is still alive. "No, she died about ten years ago," he answers me, and I think I already know who the sample belongs to. "Jeff, is there a female in your life?" I ask him, and he tells me he has been seeing an Omega, but that she has been avoiding him ever since he asked her to become his chosen Mate. His Daughter looks mad as hell at his words, and I link my Father, "Ask her if she has something to do with the Omega avoiding her Father." Dad does as I ask of him, and she confirms that she threatened to make her life a living hell if she accepted her Father as her chosen Mate. "Colton, take her down to the dungeons. Marcos, show him the way and then get back up here," Uncle Chris says before Jeff can harm his Daughter. Uncle Chris links the Omega to come to the Alpha floor, and he asks Jeff to sit down again. Marcos walks back into the room followed by Colton and a female that I assume is the Omega Jeff told us about. Jeff tells her that he knows what his Daughter did and that Alpha Chris has put her in the dungeons. "I meant every word I said when I asked you to be my chosen Mate, and I am sorry my Daughter threatened you; I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you, and I will love you until my last breath," he says as he looks at her, and she runs into his arms as she is crying.
