Losing Hope

Chapter 35 - I'm feeling good

(Him - Ryder) Now...

I'm waiting in front of the packhouse for Ezequiel and his friends. Ethan, Leyla, his parents and Stan are waiting for me. Enzo and Sam are here too. The rest are waiting in the pack house. They're all stressed and eager at the same time. The first person who is coming is a girl around the age of 18. She has the same eyes as Roman and Stan.

"Hi, I'm Masha! I'm Nikolaï's daughter. It's nice to finally meet you all." She introduces herself happily. She comes and hugs everyone. Even if they are all shocked by her behavior they also are happy.

"It's nice to finally meet you Masha! If I had known about you I would've looked for you." Stan says, shaking, his eyes full of tears.

"It's okay grandpa, I know. Growing up with Dariya was... interesting. I just wished my father would've come but his mother raised him to hate wolves while he's one himself. I let you imagine the effect on his mental health. Hopefully, when he will meet you it will help him to accept what he's." She explains.

"Alpha Ryder, Hope's mate. I heard a lot of good things about you. It's nice to finally meet you!" She says shyly but tending her hand for me to shake it.

When I take it, I see a discussion she had with Hope about boys and mate. She looks at me in surprise: "Interesting way the bond is working some time, don't you think?"

This girl is clever! Before I can reply, Ezequiel appears. He's with his mate, and two couples.

"Masha, what are you doing here?! It could be dangerous!" He reprimands her.

She rolls her eyes:" Relax! Sybil told me! As if I will miss the action. Moreover I want to meet the family now that I can!"

"Still!"

"I am almost 19! I'm a big girl now. And be polite, introduce yourself!" She inquires.

"Sorry Alpha Ryder, I'm Ezequiel. Cousins, Uncle, aunt and grandpa it's nice to finally meet you! Enzo, bro. And Enzo's mate... Wow..." Ezequiel says.

When I shake his hand, I see him and Hope having a heated discussion about their grandmother and how she wants to have a hold on Hope money and possession and even on Dan. Hope is furious and already thinking about a solution. The memories ends with Ezequiel joking how it would be easier if she was married.

"So you got married to evict Daryia from Hope's heritage?" I mindlink Enzo.

"Yes we did. Darya is not a nice person and sometimes I think she helped Anatoli to captur Hope." He replies and I growl at that idea. What kind of grandmother does that?

"Did you see that?" Ezequiel asks.

I nod.

"And you understood us?"

Obviously! Why is he even asking!? I nod again.

"We were speaking Russian!" He exclaims.

"Incredible! What a strong bond!" Masha says, amazed.

"Yes, indeed..." Ezequiel mutters.

"Don't shake his hand or he will see a memory of you and Hope." He warns his friends.

He clears his throat: "This is Lilly Keystone and her mate Alpha Anton White, Alistair Sangpur and his mate Melinda Warren."

"It's nice to meet you all. Thank you for coming." I tell them.

Before the meeting, we have a huge lunch in our guests honor. Melinda Warren and Alistair Sangpur I know them by name. Alpha Anton white too, the only mystery is Lilly. Does she is link with Alpha Chris and Alpha Darius? As far as I know, Apha Darius is a only child. Anyway, she's powerful in some way, I just don't know how.
"Lycan..." Someone whispers in my head.
