Chapter 53 Old Ways
Amarah
I slowly wake up in the arms of my Mate and I decide to just enjoy this for a little while, I feel that we are moving and slowly the memories come back to me. The feathers flying around us, Linus pressing his cock against my body and the smell of arousal in the air.
It wasn’t just the two of us that forgot our surroundings, but it doesn’t make me feel as embarrassed as I once thought it would. I remember the first time I had heard about it from Pappi and the first thought that had run through my head was, “No way in hell.”
Dad had asked Pappi to explain the old ways to me, he didn’t feel comfortable to discuss this with me and Pappi and Nanna had taken the time to explain things to me as they had done with Dad before he started his training as Alpha with Pappi.
Pappi told me that every leadership in our Pack was raised the same way as it happened in the old days, the days before we started to interact with Humans more and more. We were living more in hiding. relying on one and other more and more open towards one and other.
Werewolves and Lycans were living closer together, buildings had an open layout instead of closed of rooms and everyone was more aware of what happened around them. The leadership of a Pack lived together, sharing one space to sleep in and that meant they would here the other having sex.
I had ran from the room after that piece of information and I had avoided Nanna and Pappi for the rest of the day. Rhea was the one that pulled the information from me and we had discussed this among one and other. We never realized that it wasn’t “normal” that we heard what our parents did, but it was the way we were raised.
The next day I had gone back to Nanna and Pappi to find out more about the old ways and I knew Pappi was right when he said it had been easier to notice a difference by living so close together. I had shared a room with my leadership growing up and I knew how each of them slept, waking me or one of them if something was different.
It had happened quite a few times over the years, especially after Damien rejected me that one of them. had woken me up before the nightmare could start and I am still grateful for the way we were raised. I am not sure if Theseus was raised the same way, but I doubt it with everything I have heard and witnessed in the past few days.
However, I am glad it didn’t stop him from doing what we did and I know that the same goes for my friends. I snuggle closer to Theseus as I let the car ride and his scent lull me back to sleep, safely in the arms of my Mate with our Son talking to Nanna.
“Mom, wake up,” I hear Joseph’s small voice whisper near my ear and I tell him I don’t want to, making him giggle as I pull him in my arms. I know we are close to home and that means that I will have to get back into Alpha mode as Eos calls it.
can feel the connection to my Pack again and they will know that I am getting home soon. “Alpha, we are at the clearing.“I hear Nestor say and I know he means his team and Simon’s team from Dark Mountain Pack, Theseus and I decided to send Nestor home immediately after the match to gather his
team.
1/3
He also informed the others in which team they would be, but he wasn’t allowed to tell them why. Even though I think most of them already have an idea as to why. Theseus had some more explaining to do to Simon, Josh and Neill, but they had followed orders without asking to many questions.
We know what Damon had been telling Pack–members about me and Theseus, but we didn’t ask them about the rumors and they didn’t tell us anything. Damon will be dealt with at the end of the day and he is going to regret what he said about me.
With the information from Ademus and Joseph Theseus decided it was time for his parents to find themselves another Pack to live in and I agree with him whole heartedly. Damon has caused more than enough problems with his actions as Alpha of Dark Mountain Pack and he will not make any more trouble for our Pack in the future.
“Okay, my Alpha. You really need to open Pretty eyes of yours, we are almost there and Simon
already told me that they are at the clearing. Theseus says and I growl as he tries to make me sit up straight. I quickly sit up straight after I hear him making me a promise through our mind–link, “I knew that that would motivate you, my Alpha.” He says teasingly
Nanna has a smirk on her face as if she knows what Theseus said to me and I think my cheeks just turned a bright red color. Joseph is looking out the window as Nanna points out where the gate White Crescent Pack is and his eyes widen when four Guards step onto the road.
Two in Human form and two in Wolf form are blocking the gate as they are taught to do and when I link them that it is just us they step aside to let us pass. “Dad, why don’t we have Guards like that at the gate?” Joseph asks and I see Pappi and Nanna turning their heads towards him.
“My Little Wolf, I think that has something to do with how your Grandfather ran Dark Mountain Pack and not with your Dad.” I say and he crunches his nose at the mention of his Grandfather. I know that it was Damon that made sure that his Pack and Son were never trained properly, I just wonder if he hoped that Theseus would give up or that he had hoped that someone would have taken Theseus down in a war of Damon’s making. I hope it is the first, but I fear it will be the latter and if that is the case Damon better make sure we never cross paths again.
“Calm down, Little One.“I hear Linus say in my head and I melt into their arms. Linus always calls me Little One when he is talking to me, he only occasionally uses Theseus‘ nickname for me and I love that they both have a different name to call me.
“Just thinking why Damon wouldn’t train you and his Pack in the proper way and if it is why I think he did it, you better start digging his grave.“I explain and when I tell Linus what my train of thought had been I hear him roar in my head.
“Little One, if you are correct than there will be nothing left to bury.” Linus growls and I crawl onto his lap to calm him down. I am straddling his lap as I lock our lips together and I don’t even notice it when we pull to a stop in front of the Pack–house or that there is a huge crowd of Pack–members gathered in front of it.
“Mom, Dad. You have an audience.” Joseph says giggling and I reluctantly break our kiss. I place my forehead against his and tell him that I love him, before I turn my attention to the crowd outside the Pack–house. I see a few shocked faces as their Daughters exit the SUVs followed by their Mates, but they quickly start smiling when they realize we all found our Mates.
The crowd starts cheering as I get out of the SUV and I know it has two reasons, both of them very important reasons in me “I know you are all very ruribus hat there is something very important
2/3
Theseus and I need to do before we will address all of you.
Before this day is over a very good friend to all of us will be able to walk around freely for the first time in five years.” I say and the crowd erupts in cheers once more. Joseph has been standing beside me the entire time and some Pack–members are looking very confused at our interlaced hands.
I just smile as Theseus and I start walking towards the clearing, Melia and Apollo will deal with the Warriors while Theseus and I will shift into Linus and Minerva to mark the border to the north and south of the clearing. Griffin had asked if he could join us and we had said Yes in unison.
A lot of Pack–members follow us on our way to the clearing, all of them ready to welcome Asteria and Inti to their freedom. Pappi stays close to Joseph as the three of us strip down and he talks Joseph and Griffin through their second shift, making sure everything is fine with them.
I hear everyone gasp as Joseph shifts into Griffin and instead of hiding he strides back and forth in front of everyone. Looking at Griffin I forget that my Mate is here as well, but he makes it known he wants some attention too as I feel his snout between my legs, “Linus, behave yourself.” I shout as I turn around to see a huge black Wolf standing behind me and I giggle as Griffin tries to push him away
from me.
I cuddle with Griffin before I turn my attention to Linus, “Do you want to sleep in your own bed, Big Boy?” I ask him through our mind–link and like a little Pup he whimpers as he crawls closer to me. Griffin takes advantage of the position his Dad is in and jumps on his back as he barks.
Fear shoots through Linus‘ eyes when he feels Griffin on his back, “Relax, Big Boy. Our Son can handle himself just don’t get up to fast.” I say and Linus slowly gets up of the ground. Griffin howls happily as Linus starts walking and I see Pappi snap a few pictures with his phone.
After I release control to Minerva Linus lowers far enough for Griffin to jump of his back and the three of us make our way over to the northern border of the clearing to mark it as our territory, even Griffin helps us mark the border. Once we are done with both borders we slowly make our way over to the cluster of tress and boulders and I see a smiling Asteria stepping out in the open.
It takes a little longer for Inti to show his face, but Grillin slowly walks over to him and nudges him with his snout to get out into the clearing. Inti takes a liking to Griffin fast and both of them are chasing after one and other as Theseus tells Asteria she no longer has to stay in hiding.
