Evander Orion has joined us with his mate Asilda and she shocks the hell out of everyone when she confesses that she had told Orion where Umayza had gone to. Umayza tells her not to worry about it, that everything turned out fine and that Calliope was caught. Asilda isn’t as confident that the Council wouldn’t fire her and she even tells Umayza she only took the job because of the pressure her parents had put on her, “I just wanted to find my Mate and raise a family of my own. My Mother said I would never have a Mate; she believes only the pretty females get a Mate.” Asilda says. Gray is growling as he hears what she has been told her whole life, “Asilda, your Mother is an Idiot. Everyone deserves a Mate, no matter what your rank is.” Gray says before he places his hands on her cheeks and forces her to look into his eyes. “And my Son has a very beautiful Mate.”Orion wraps his arms around her, “Thanks, Dad. I think Asilda needed to hear that.” I am not sure who is more stunned, Gray or Orion. I know Orion wasn’t sure what he would call his Father, it felt all a bit strange to him and I had told him that it would come naturally. It is almost time for dinner when Council-member Boaz finds us and informs us that by early morning Council-member Finlay will be back with the journals, “Gray, he will leave them in your office in the usual spot.” He says before he asks Umayza what she is going to do with them. “I want to read them, see if there is anything else on the gift of perception in there that I am unaware of and after that the Council can have them for safe keeping. Use them to teach others what the gift can do, both the good and the bad.” Umayza says and I am proud of our Little Mate. She could have chosen to keep them for herself, but instead she wants others to be able to learn from them and the Council will make sure those journals are put to good use. There is not much known about Umayza’s gift and every piece of information will be valuable. It will make it a lot easier for Mylo if we can understand her gift better and I think that will go for most males that are mated to a female with this gift. I also hope it will tell her more about how her body copes with the information or at least answer the question how much someone can handle before their body shuts down. There are a lot of gifts we don’t know much about and I know that Princess Taliyah is keeping detailed records on her own abilities. She has four abilities and two of them are very rare, so she makes sure that she writes down everything she and her Mates remember. I remember the story we heard about the ability to shut down one’s emotions and hearing about what it did to Queen Jocelyn still causes shivers to run down my spine. Umayza pulls me from my thoughts as she asks what time we will be leaving in the morning.Umayza really wants to meet the woman that raised her twin Brother and I know she wants to visit her Mother’s grave; it will be the first time to actually go to where her Mother is buried. She told us she is also nervous about going there, it will make it all feel to real she had said. Conri and I will be there to support her, but I can’t imagine what will be going through her mind when she is faced with her Mother’s grave. Both our parents are still alive and I don’t even want to think about one of them being gone, I hope we get to keep them with us for a very long time. Dad still runs border patrols and he even helped Alpha Amarah prepare for the Competition. Mom helps at the Pup center, a place where someone can bring their Pup if their Mate can’t look after them and I know there are a lot of Werewolves that use the facility. Our family is the only Lycan family that lives in White Crescent Pack, except for Mom, she isn’t a Lycan. She and Dad knew that she would give birth to Lycans, but it never bothered her or any of our Pack-members and when Atlas was still Alpha he was proud of having us around. Alpha Amarah took over long after Conri and I joined the Council, but she always keeps us informed about changes within the Pack and she still treats us as if we are Pack-members. After dinner we get called to the Council’s Chamber, but we are not told why. Just as I close the door behind us my phone starts ringing and I see the caller-ID belongs to Alpha Amarah, “Alpha Amarah, what can I do for you?” I ask after I answer the call. “Hold on, I am with the Council as we speak. I will ask if they have time to answer your questions.” I say and I see Armas nod his head. I put her on speaker as she requests and the more she says the less it makes sense to me, but when she tells us about Joseph I am in shock. A five year old that already has his Wolf that is unheard of, but listening to the Council-members I realize that this isn’t the first time. Conri smiles as we both realize she has found her second chance Mate in Alpha Theseus and from the sound of her voice she is happy. When she is asked if she and Theseus are willing to raise Joseph I already know the answer before she has given it. Our Alpha would never hold another’s actions against you, no matter what someone has done and especially not if it concerns a Pup. Technically she isn’t our Alpha, but Conri and I will always consider her our Alpha and that won’t change even if she won’t allow us to settle on Pack grounds. However, it will no longer be just Alpha Amarah’s decision, we also need Alpha Theseus’ approval.
