Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 20: Report

A/N: Bolded words are spoken in Trigedasleng.

Gustus and Lincoln make it back home on the third day just before dinner and are greeted by Indra and Gaia. They would have arrived earlier, but decided to go hunting before heading home. Both men are exhausted but nonetheless they are happy since they arrived with fresh fish caught in the nearby river around their village and a deer they caught almost close to the mountain.

Amara, a beta and Lincoln’s mate comes walking in and greets the men. Lincoln takes time to gently kiss her protruding belly since she’s six months pregnant with their first pup. After a very extensive and talkative dinner of freshly baked bread and fried fish with baked potatoes and a garden salad, the men are utterly exhausted now that they have full stomachs and retire for the night.

The following day, the duo ride to TonDC to report their findings to their Alpha and Luna. Upon arriving, they notice that Fay and Anya are training on the field beside the Alpha’s home; both women are running through the obstacle course dodging objects that the twins, Odi and Oli are throwing at them in order to sharpen their skills and concentration. A little further down the field, they notice Titus and Lexa sparring with swords. By the looks of the omega, she has met the ground once or twice. Her clothes are a little dirty and the look of her face says she wasn’t happy about meeting the ground. They make their way towards them. “Come on Luna, show me what you’ve got!” Titus growls out as he swings his sword with all his strength towards his daughter. He sees as she dodges the blow and jumps in the air. She doesn’t attack, but simply stands there catching her breath and he knows it’s not like Lexa to just give up that easily. “Yongon, are you feeling well? You aren’t concentrating,” he asks, worriedly.

“I’m fine nontu. I just feel tired is all,” she responds as she swings her arm back and forth. Her muscles feel sore; almost like putty and her father pushed her a little more than usual. “I just need to rest for a while and then I’ll be fine,” she continues telling him when she notices her uncle and cousin approaching.

“Uncle Gustus, Lincoln, you're back from patrolling?” she asks as the men arrive where they are.

“Yes. We came back last night,” her cousin tells her. Gustus and Titus grasps arms.

“I imagine everything went well?” Titus asks one of his best generals. Shaking his head from side to side Gustus shrugs and says,

“You could say that but we need to talk; all of us. Is Ava inside?” Anya and Fay have completed their obstacle course and make their way towards them.

“No uncle, she’s in the communal kitchen helping out,” Anya tells them.

“But, we can get her,” Odi informs them since he and his brother also join the adults. Titus motions for them to go and the twins go running towards the mother’s location.

When Ava arrives home, her mate, her daughters, brother and nephew are already inside the Alpha’s office and her twins are snacking on a piece of meat in the kitchen. Before she enters, she notices Fay is waiting inside the living room so she approaches the beta. “Fay, aren’t you coming?" she asks and notices as the beta looks at her and shakes her head no. “Why not?” the Luna continues asking.

“It’s a family meeting and I don’t want to intrude.” Fay responds shyly.

“But, you’re family too. You’re Anya’s mate. You have every right to be there,” she tells the beta.

“Luna, we haven’t claimed each other so technically we aren’t mates,” Fay says apprehensively.

“Just because you haven’t claimed each other, doesn’t mean you two aren’t mates. You and Anya love each other. Now come on, I don’t want to be late,” the Luna says tenderly as she extends her hand and Fay takes it. Both women enter the office and Fay takes her side beside her mate.
