Chapter 25
NATHAN POV
Tristan and I got home after another day of Alpha duties that we had to perform. We walked past the diner once and I was able to get a look at Ella. Even in her waitress uniform, she was still the most beautiful thing in the world to me.
I couldn't help myself when I stole her uniform in the woods the other day. I didn't want her to cover herself up again.
I mean, she was standing in the middle of the woods in her underwear. Who the hell would want her to cover up. She does need to put on some weight though. She looked way too skinny.
A lot skinnier than most of the girls around here. It didn't really look healthy.
But today when we got home, I could tell that Tristan was plotting again, trying to figure out how we could force her into bonding with us. He was going to mark her by force and that just wasn't acceptable. It's actually illegal in the werewolf world, but I'm sure that Tristan is willing to overlook it just because of this damn curse.
I don't care if I have to suffer a few more full moon's if it means we get to have our mate as much as she wants us.
That's all I was asking for. For our mate to want us. I don't think that's too much to ask for. Since that's usually what happens when you have a fated mate.
Not that anyone in our family has experienced that in over a century.
I think that witch also made it hard for us to even find our mates. I mean, why would it be easy? Especially if she's the one that can lift the curse.
"Listen Nathan. I don't see what the big deal is here? We bond with her and then there's nothing she can do about it. We're bonded for life." Tristan said.
“And she'll hate us for life. She's not a werewolf like us. Not a proper one." I said.
"I know that. But you can sense her wolf. Just like I can. The wolf is in there. But she was raised by humans. She's never been around werewolves." Tristan yelled. "You are not forcing her to do anything that she doesn't want to do." I growled. And Tristan looked at me strangely.
I know that he was used to me always following his lead and agreeing with everything he said. But there was no way I was going to agree with him on this. I was with Ella on this. The whole way. I wasn't going to force her to do anything she didn't want.
She was definitely going to be ours. But we were going to have to work harder at getting her.
"Do you even care about her at all? Or do you just want her to break the curse?" I asked, staring him in the eye. But he looked away from me. He wouldn't answer the question.
Tristan has never had feelings for anyone. Not for Leia or any other bed warmer that has come close to us Alpha's just for our title.
I've never known known him to get attached to anyone.
"Alright. What are you two fighting about now?" Dad yelled, walking into the room. "Disagreement on Alpha business." Tristan said.
"Well, you two better sort that out if I am going to let both of you run this pack." Dad said.
"Yes, sir." I said.
"Alright. Now listen, go and get ready for dinner. The Potter's are coming for dinner." Dad said.
"Are you serious?" I practically shouted. I didn't mean to talk like that to my dad, but I didn't want Leia here. She was such a pain in the ass.
Tristan's the one that slept with her and that's only because she was easy and he never actually dated her. She was simply a booty call.
"You will never raise your voice like that to me again." Dad demanded, staring me right in the eye.
"I'm sorry dad. But we've only just been here for two years. We haven't even been 18 for very long. You aren't even giving us a chance to find our fated mate." I said.
"Nathan. We can't risk that you will never find your fated mate. I want you two to take over as soon as possible. I've suffered a lifetime of these full moon episodes. I want to step down as Alpha as soon as possible. But you two are both getting worse with every full moon. We have to think about the future of this pack and producing heirs to succeed you." Dad said.
"I understand that dad. But I want the proper Luna to run this pack with us." I argued. And dad looked frustrated at the conversation.
I was getting frustrated with the whole situation. I was getting sick of hearing about us finding a chosen mate when the whole purpose of us moving here was
to find our fated mate. Yet, he has barely even given us a chance to do that.
I wish we could just go back in time and never get involved with Leia. She would be the worst Luna for this pack.
"Leia is the daughter of the Beta. She has the breeding and the skills to be Luna." Dad said.
"She's also a colossal bitch and bully." I said.
"Tristan. Do you have anything to say here?" Dad asked.noveldrama
'I'm going to tell him about Ella.' I told Tristan in the mind link.
'Don't. He'll go and find her immediately and lock her up in this house. No matter how much I want to force her, I don't want to do that to her. If he even accepts her. He might not accept a mate who's human' Tristan said. But I rolled my eyes.
I couldn't keep up with Tristan anymore. One minute he wants to force her into a bond. And now he's telling me not to tell dad because dad will force her. What the hell was his problem? Why was he going back and forth about the whole situation?
"I think we can have a meeting and discuss the situation. But I'm not making any promises right now. I think we should still be given a little time to find our mate." Tristan said. So dad nodded and left the room.
Tristan was right about one thing though. Dad wouldn't accept a Luna for this pack that was human. And that she was planning on leaving Alaska as soon as possible. He wouldn't accept her to produce the next heir to this pack. He would consider that child heir to be weaker. And we didn't know if her wolf was ever going to come out. So, we couldn't tell dad yet. We had to time it just right.
Tristan and I went to our different rooms and got ready for this dinner. We put on nice enough clothes. Button down shirts, trousers and black dress shoes. But no jackets or ties. We weren't going that formal for Leia.
