‘say something, Eric,’ Growled my Lycan.
‘Like what?’ I was panicking and her eyes watched me with amusement. Her lips parted slightly and her chocolate eyes slanted in amusement.
“Do you have something to say?” She asks, sitting on her father’s desk.
“I failed my physics assignment,” I cussed myself as soon as I said and she chuckled. Her laughter was the sweetest melody in my ear and I watched with a smile.
“Don’t worry, I can tutor you on the coming topic,” She said and my excitement doubled, I will spend more time with her.
“When? is tomorrow alright?” I asked.
“No, my cousin Mary is visiting me, how about on Wednesday,” She smiled. The door opened, and Jacob gave me a sorry look but I just ruffled his hair.
“Thanks, Doc, Savannah,” I nodded and turned on my heel, I held the doorknob when she called
“Young Alpha, please be careful and take it easy with training,”
“I will… See you around, Sav,” I said and opened the door, I heard her squeal and I smiled at my brother,
“She likes me,”
“All the girls like you, Eric,”
“Yet I only want one, Savannah Agatha Riacco”
Dinners were dreadful with my father and we were tense. My mother was a perfect example of a weak woman blinded by societal norms, being the perfect Luna and holding the picture-perfect family image, despite coming from a family of influence, she didn’t want to leave our father in fear that people will gossip and think of her as a failure. I begged her to reject him every time she felt the mate’s betrayal but she wasn’t brave enough for that, not even for us.
“Hello family, I have some exciting news,” My father announces, kissing my mother’s cheek. What now?
Alpha Erickson’s POV
Father seemed happy and he announced that he had news, however, he didn’t share it with us as he was mind-linking someone.
“Oh, My love, you look beautiful, how was your day?” He asked, kissing Mother’s cheek.
he only acknowledged us with a nod and sat.
“What news do you want to share?”
“They plan to give me a seat at the council,”
“Finally! It’s long overdue,” Beamed mother.
The rest of dinner we ate in silence, I was dreading going to bed.
During the nights, I hated morning because I had to go training but after that, I didn’t see my father for the rest of the day until dinner.
On the day of my eighteenth’s birthday, my mother threw me a grand party and it is where I confirmed my suspicions about Savannah being my mate.
“Hello, Mate,” I waved. A few of her friends were standing behind her, squealing and leaping in joy. However, she didn’t know we were mates because she was still seventeen years old. I wanted to claim her, mark her for all to see that she was mine. Before I could even approach her, a voice cheered behind me
“Happy Birthday, My SON!” I turned around and came face to face with my father. He was in a better mood lately, he stopped speaking about overthrowing the Lavista and was focused on mom, that was weird but I didn’t question it. I was scared I might jinx it so we all went with the floor.
“Thanks, Dad,” He threw me a key to a vintage car that I loved. My father was finally given a seat on the council which he wanted so much which I now hold as his successor.
A few months followed and my mate’s birthday was coming, I was excited because now our Lycans would connect but nothing happened, I didn’t think much of it and we continued dating, living in pure bliss with Sav.
“I love you so much,” She’d tell me, always, and I knew that. On her twenty-first birthday, I prepared a picnic date for her and we celebrated it together but at midnight, she started acting strange and her body started shaking, the earthquakes around us and her eyes were a beautiful hazel with golden circles, the circles of a witch.
Sav fainted as soon as the earthquake stopped, and I carried her to her room.
I didn’t know how to react so I called her parents who explained to me that Savanna is not their real daughter.
“Her real father was my wife’s cousin, one night he came to us with an infant in a basket, begging us to take her in as our own, and we did after he told us that her mother is a dark witch who wanted to raise Savy in her dark magic,”
“So, you raised her as a Lycan?”
“Yes, before leaving, her father cast a spell to entrap her magic and give her a stronger shifter scent to fit in,” Her mother explained.
“Does Savannah know all this?” I ask.
“Yes, young Alpha, we didn’t hide anything from her,” I was hurt that my mate didn’t trust me enough to keep her secret but I understood where she was coming from, witches and Lycans are not friendly towards each other, she was scared I’d reject her.
I made my way upstairs to her room and found that she was awake. Hyperventilating.
“I’m sorry for not telling you, Eric,” She was a crying mess and her perfect hair was disheveled. The once neat and beautifully decorated room was appalling because the furniture was broken and things were levitating, her body was shaking violently.
“Forgive me for not telling you sooner, I was scared you’d leave me,” She sniffled.
“Calm down,” I reached out to touch her and everything was calm, so just like her touch, mine soothed her as well
“Don’t cry, please,” I whispered and she nodded, sitting back on her bed but she had a grimace the whole time, one thing about Savy is that she is neat and can’t stay in a dirty environment. I extended my hand and she took it, I took her to the balcony while I mind-linked some Omegas to clean her princess bedroom.
We sat in silence until she spoke ” You’ll reject me, won’t you?” Tears welled in her eyes, and I wiped them.
“No, honey, I love you witch or not,” I assured her.
“What about the pack, they can’t accept a witch Luna,” She sighed, I engulfed her in a hug and hold her close
