Saving His Broken Mate

Chapter 23

A/n please read! King Dax, (the vampire king) likes being called by his first life name which is Artemis, everyone else will be called by their names now, BUT Artemis calls Mercy Otho and will probably call the others by their first life names every once in a while as well.

Othossium- Mercy
Assilem- Josephine
Hitcher- Hero
Artemis- Dax

The couple walked down the stairs with their hands linked tightly, they take leisurely steps and both are silent just wanting to bask in the sparks being emitted from their hands. A calm aura surrounds them, it's warm and comforting.

"Yo, my buddy Hitcher!" Artemis exclaims once the couple enter the foyer. He doesn't stand up because of Mercy sitting on his lap all snuggled into him. But he still comically throws his fist into the air.

"Please, Artemis, just call me, Hero." Hero replies to him. "We go over this in each life, you already know that I don't like that name."

"Yeah yeah. It brings back trauma and shit. Personally I like my name, I sound like a badass." Artemis chuckles to himself.

"Then why are you still having everyone call you King Dax?" Mercy cuts in, raising her head from his chest.

"You know why, Otho," Artemis replies to her softly as he tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear and cups her face gently.

All the friends look between each other and nod silently. "Speaking of which, when are we gonna go back?" Jo cuts in quizzically. "We've left them alone for too long." She adds thoughtfully.

"Once, Felix and Kathrine get here. I'll hand the pack over to them then we can go." Hero says, and right after he does the couple walk into the room.

"Alpha, Luna," The two bow their heads.

"Kat!" Jo exclaims and runs to hug her. The two embrace each other tightly, reluctantly separating when their mates take ahold of them again possessively.

"So why have you called us here, Alpha?" Felix asks getting straight to the point, as usual.

One of the many reasons I have chosen him, Hero thinks to himself.

"Well," Hero starts taking a deep breath, "it's no longer just 'Alpha' to you anymore, Alpha Felix."

"Wait what?" He asks as confused as ever.

Hero steps over to his best friend of this life and puts his hands on his shoulders. "I'm giving the pack over to you." He speaks slow and steadily.

"What the fuck? Why!" Felix demands.

"I can't give you the full story, but just know, there is no one I would ever trust more than you to take over this pack." By now everyone besides Artemis has tears in there eyes. Artemis just rolls his eyes at their softness.

"You can't leave me alone here, you're my best friend." Felix pleads with him.

"I'll visit, but for now, I have called the whole pack to the gardens to announce you taking over as alpha and me giving you the power to do so." Hero is then engulfed in a strong hug by Felix.

"Are you leaving too?" Kathrine asks Josephine. She nods meekly. "Where are you going?"

"That is something I cannot tell you," she whispers. "But I'll always be watching over you, I will also visit as well, my dear sister." The two hug softly but tenderly.

Finally the group makes their way out of the back doors and into the garden where the large pack of 900 stand confused at the sudden meeting. The group of six walk to the front of them all.
