Amarah Minerva hasn’t said anything, but she has been pacing my mind since midnight and I know my friends are going through the same thing with their Wolves. A part of me hopes that Mom is correct in her assumptions, but on the other hand I hope she is wrong. What if my second chance Mate is the same as Damien or maybe even worse, I don’t want to think about that and the moment Minerva starts yelling “Mate, Mate.” in my head I sigh in relief, because I know who are on their way up. I also know they will never treat a female the way Damien did. I watch as the elevator doors open and before I can say anything I see Theseus rush out in my direction, he stops right in front of me as I hear everyone around us mutter, “Fuck.” He looks at me as he slowly lifts his hand towards my face. For a moment I think about running from him, for a moment I want to ask the Goddess what kind of cruel sense of humor she has. I don’t do either as I look into his eyes and I realize that Theseus is the better man out of the two Brothers, that he doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable like most males. “I will never hurt you. I have been waiting so long for you and I will protect you with my last breath if I have to.” He whispers as he places his hand against my cheek and I know he is sincere, he will never hurt me on purpose. I smile up at him as I place my hand on his hand. I let my eyes glide towards my friends and I burst out in laughter as I see Eos’ thoughts have become true, we are all mated to one another. Ione with Ajax, Melia with Apollo, Eos with Xanthos and Rhea with Midas and that leaves us with a huge problem in the form of Asteria and Inti. Theseus follows my line of sight and joins me in laughter as I hear Mom and Delia squeal in the background. “Alpha Theseus, I know this might not be what you and your men want to hear, but I think it is best if we discuss a few things before you take this any further.” My Father says. My cheeks change into a few shades of red at his words, but I know that he is right and it looks like Theseus agrees with him as he slides his arm around my waist to guide me to our living room. “Alp.. Atlas, I think there are a few things that need to be cleared up.” He says and I see Dad looking strangely at him. “I apologize, I didn’t know that you stepped down. It will take some time to get used to, to not refer to you as the Alpha anymore.” Theseus says as he looks at Dad and with that he confirms something we have suspected for a long time, he never read the notification from the Council. Once we are all seated I see that Theseus is looking around the room and I ask him what he is looking for, “I am wondering where your Beta, Gamma and Deltas are.” He says and for a moment I don’t know how to answer him, until I figure out he doesn’t know that our entire leadership is made up out of females.“In this room.” I answer him as I look at him and I see confusion in his eyes. “My Dad’s Beta, Gamma and Deltas all have a female as a first born and they took over from their Fathers when I took over.” I explain to him and for a moment he looks at me a bit dumbfounded. “Sorry, I should have figured out that if your Father handed over his position to you the entire leadership in your Pack would be taken over by a first born.” He says and I hear Melia giggle as I hear Apollo mutter “Fuck” as it sinks into his brain that his Mate is my Gamma. Delia walks in with coffee and as she places it on the table she looks at Theseus, “Thank you for having my back last night, Alpha Theseus.” She says before she walks over to Alastor. “Delia, you are more than welcome and please drop the Alpha.” He responds. A notification on his phone pulls his attention away from the rest of us for a moment and after he has read it he sighs in relief.
