Chapter 23

“Uh . . . Aspen?” Alpha Widow walked over to Fabin, taking a wide path away from Rex. “What did you do?”

“Wasn’t me, old friend.”

“Then what just happened to my Beta?”

“My son’s magic snuck up and out on him. Suffice to say, for the first time. Right, Rex?”

“That was magic?”

“Sure was.” Aspen smiled over at me. “Powerful for a first time, wasn’t it Warlock Bryon Perry?”

Rex glanced at his grandfather, who nodded his agreement before giving him a thumbs up. What was going on around him? The entire day had been wonky. He’d been in the dungeon, ready to take a hell of a beating from a strange group of werewolves. Then the place was swarmed with men that resembled him and turned out to be family, but some of the top ranked supernatural being among the Supernatural World. Not to mention he had a new true mate, one stronger than his werewolf. One he’d just used magic on. Magic.

“Oh boy.” Rex flopped back, tossing his hands over his face. “How do I fix this?”

“Take a deep breath.” Aspen waited until I took two. “Let your shoulders relax and close your eyes. Then wiggle your fingers.”

All the ice like tingles trickled their way to the end of Rex fingertips and then dissipated. He was in the midst of shaking his arms out when Fabin groaned.

“What just happened?”

“You mate froze your ass.” Alpha Widows slapped Fabin on the back and then motioned to Rex’s prone body. “Might want to get him out of that glass before he does get cut.”

“I’m fine.” He was halfway up on his own when Fabin scooped him up, bridal style. “Put me down. Please. Now.”

Fabin walked over to the sofa and sat down, tucking him tight against his body. Rex wasn’t about to complain, even though he might should have.

“Time we get back to the question at hand.” Alpha Widows retook his spot against the wall as the higherups retook their spot on the sofa across from him and Fabin.

Damn, Rex had hoped his little mishaps had made Alpha Widows forget the entire question. Sure hadn’t made him forget the fact that Alpha Widows thought he belonged to him. That was a fact he would not let go. Guess if he couldn’t let his pet peeve go, it was only far they addressed Alpha Widows.

“Fine.” Rex tried to slid from Fabin’s lap, but he tightened his hold. “Forgive me in advance if I use the wrong terminology. My head hurts and I’m on overload. Larry is my former true mate.”

“Former?” Fabin growled. “You released a mate?”

“At my request.” Larry supplied.

“Why in the hell would you give up a true mate?” Alpha Widows snapped.

“I was married and had a son. It was not allowed to have male mates in the pack.” Pain laced Larry’s voice, but he stood tall.

“Yet you had no problem asking him to offer himself up to Alpha Chamberland as a sacficial lamb.” Alpha Widow scuffed. “You do not deserve to be a beta.”

“Hey.” Rex was out of Fabin’s lap and in front of Larry in seconds. “Do not speak to him that way. He did what had to be done help his pack mates survive. He saw a way to better their lives. He might not have handled things like your betas would, but he did the best he could for the pack he grew up in. Do not give him shit.”

“Watch it.”

Alpha Widow snarled and pressed in on him, but Rex’s wolf, stupid as Rex was he snarled right back. What got him most was the fact that his fingers began to feel fiery again. He took three huge steps back, shoving Larry with him, which had Fabin up on his feet and growling at Larry. Rex’s hands lifted. One towards Alpha Widows chest the other towards Fabin. It less than a second a second a bright white light flew from both hands, shoving both of the werewolves into the wall across the room. Aspen and Councilman Bryon Perry appeared in his line of sight, gripping his hands, lowering them.

“Calm down, young Warlock. No one is going to harm anyone.”

“What the hell?” Alpha Widows sighed. “Aspen, your son needs training.”

“Duh.” Aspen snorted. “He’s not even the age to . . .”

“He is.” Head Supernatural David Perry sighed. “We will have to reach out to Mixed Supernatural Councilman Alvin Thomas. He will not only have to be trained in the werewolf way, but the Warlock, and the Mixed Breed. Then he will choose which way he will live his life.”

Once again, for what felt like the hundredth time that day, Rex found himself in Fabin’s arms and someone saying lay him on the sofa. He needs to rest. Words were never truer. His mind raced and nothing made any sense to him. Too much had happened and all he wanted was time to clear his head and make sense of one thing at a time.

“Larry,” Fabin’s tone was tight, but respectful, which Rex expected was hard for him, considering how he was the former mate. “Does he have a room?”

“He has something. I would not call it a room.”

“We will take him to our lands.” Alpha Widows replied.

“No.” Rex muttered.

“Yes, Mate. End of conversation.”

“Is not.”

“Is.” Fabin ran his hand across his forehad. “Coven Leader Perrry, can I ask you to transport us to my home.”

“That is not acceptable.” Head Supernatural David Perry said. “As much as you are going to dislike this, until he of age, he is in his father’s hands. You know the laws.”

Right. True mates could not take over unless parents agree. Rex’s wolf whimpered, but Rex liked the idea of not having to deal with another mate at the time. There were so much else to handle. It also meant he no longer belonged to Alpha Widows.

“He has to have a Pack.” Councilman William Perry replied.

“Yes, and he does.” Head Supernatural David Perry said. “Until they are properly mated, he belongs to the Chamberland Pack.”

“No. Please, Head Supernatural David Perry. Do not make him remain under that Alpha’s hatred.” Fabin’s begging shocked Rex, but he knew the answer to his plea. Head Supernatural was quoting the laws. And if Fabin took time to think with his logical mind, not his mate’s mind, he would know as well. So would Alpha Widows.

“Fabin,” Alpha Widows sighs filled the room and had Fabin giving one of his own as he leaned down and brushed a light kiss across my forehead.

“Will he be forced to live among the pack, or will he remain in the Coven?”

“Coven.” Head Supernatural Perry said. “Tomorrow, you and Coven Leader Aspen can meet and discuss the mateship. I will reach out to Mixed Supernatural Councilman Alvin Thomas and bring him on the matter, so we can figure out what order is best for him to learn his true life. Are we all on the same page?”

A round of yes filled the room, as Fabin brushed another kiss on Rex’s forehead and whispered. “Get some rest tonight. I will see you tomorrow, my mate. You will be safe with your father. I promise. He is a great man.”
