Theseus Amarah and I are laughing our asses off, that Son of ours really hates it when there is a chance someone will start talking about Pack business during a meal. Luckily Nanna is always willing to feed him and Pappi uses that time to teach Joseph and Griffin our Pack history. Well, the one he knows by heart and there is not a doubt in my mind that he will ask for the journals soon, not only to educate himself but Joseph too. “Alpha Theseus, there is a female creeping around the north border. It looks like Joseph’s Mother.” The voice in my head sounds familiar, but I can’t place it as a Pack-member. “My apologies, Alpha Theseus. I forgot you are not aware of everything just yet, but every member in service of the Council is able to link you. This is Captain Armand, by the way.” He says before he closes the mind-link and I tell Amarah to follow me while I send Myles to keep an eye on Joseph.As we make our way over to the border I tell Amarah what happened and she asks if we can still give the title back, but I know she is kidding. Neither one of us would ever back down, no matter how inconvenient it might be at times and we will learn to make the best of things. Captain Armand was correct, Penelope was near the border but she was not alone. Her Father and another male were with her and one look at her tells me that Damien is no longer alive, but she doesn’t seem to broken up about it. “Where the hell is my Son?” She screams the moment she sees us. “Penelope, Joseph is no longer your Son. He is our Son and we will raise him as our own.” Amarah says in a calm tone. “You are incapable of raising him, you never loved him and if it hadn’t been for Damon you would have never had a Pup. You wanted something you couldn’t have, not even if Theseus had died without an heir. Damon had no intention of letting you and Damien live, he wanted a puppet in the Alpha position and we both know Damien would never follow his orders. All Damon had to do after all of you were dead was to show the Pack that Joseph was his Son and he would be back in the Alpha position.” She says. Her Father looks shocked at Penelope as she keeps saying that Damon wouldn’t kill her, but something tells me that she knows Amarah is telling the truth and a small part of me feels sorry for her. She lost everything in the span of a few weeks and I gained the world during that same time. Amarah keeps her eyes on Penelope as her Father steps closer to the border, “I wouldn’t if I were you.” She growls. “It is not a good idea to cross the border of a Royal Pack uninvited.” The moment the words leave her mouth Captain Armand and his Squad step forward and I know they will protect us if push comes to shove. “Penelope, go home with your Father. There is nothing left here for you, start over. I am not telling you that you should wait for your fated Mate this time, only you can make that decision and no one else. But I hope for your sake that your next Mate will have your best interest at heart.” Amarah says. Penelope looks at her for a minute before she turns to the male standing next to her Father, “Cooper, I want to go home.” She says and he pulls her into his arms, telling her he will take her home. The three of them leave without another word and I sigh in relief. The next few days pass without any problems, we have three very strong alliances in place and all three Alphas swore to us that they would come the moment we would call. Joseph has finally ordered the rest of the furniture for his room and he can’t wait to show Inti what he chose to put in his room. Amarah has been a little secretive since we started decorating the Pack-house, but she keeps telling me I will find out with the rest of our leadership and I know that she won’t tell me anything else. Tonight we will spend our last night at White Crescent’s old Pack-house and I can’t wait for everyone to move in. Joseph is so excited about the move that he woke up a few times last night and Amarah just smiled at him as she tucked him back into his bed. He ushers us out of our bedroom to go down stairs, because after breakfast our Pack will finally see the finished Pack-house and Joseph wants to start living in the new Pack-house. He keeps telling us it is the start of a new life for all of us and when he says it he keeps looking at his Mom, but she just smiles at him without saying a word. The dining room is buzzing as everyone is talking about the move and I smile as I see that Ma has been in the kitchen.
