Looking out the glass door, I can see the pack has gathered already. Of course, in record time as normal.
Abbs is already waiting outside. Fredrick stands in the front of the group, looking like a lost guy in the crowd.
For the first time in my life, I am a little nervous. If the pack does not react to the news well, and enough people want him out and gone. I need to listen to them, but at the same time I don't want to let him go. It is not just the mate bond, I know that is a small part but not all of it. Now knowing what he is and everything else, we really need him to stay close to feed us information too.
Suck it up Adira, time to face our pack.
My peep talk does nothing to help, but here goes nothing. Storm is still a little on the enraged side of things still.
I open the door and quietness fills the field in front of me. Everyone in the pack goes silent, watching as I make my way to the front of the pack.
Abbs moves to stand off to the side of me and nods her head.
"Come up here." I point to Fredrick.
Abbs moves to show him where to stand. I thought I was nervous, he looks like he can either pee himself or just pass out.
My brothers, Uncle Nathan, and Alastair all give me weird looks. They will soon find out.
"I have called everyone here again, due to new information that has came up." My voice bellows out and in control.
"Fred came to me earlier and has told me and your Beta the truth behind himself." I stop looking over to him real quick.
"His real name is Fredrick. Fredrick is not a wolf. He has been using an cream he made to hide his true scent from us, and using rogues clothing to get the wolf smell. He is however, a griffin for the most part, with a touch of magic he can use." I pause as everyone looks from me to where Fredrick stands.
I watch as Uncle Nathan and Alastair both turn red, shaking slightly where they stand. I glance and sure enough, Uncle Nathan's hands are balled up.
"Fredrick came to this pack wanting revenge on us, due to the lies he has been fed growing up. His father was Juilian, the Master." I am cut off.
The pack doesn't let me get a word in further as everyone starts growling and shouting at the same time.
It is still fresh in a way with what our pack went through, even if it was right before I was even born.
"ENOUGH. Control yourselves until you hear it all please." I command, letting the authority seep out.
It is a little calming though, them having the same reaction I did.
"Now, Fredrick did not have to come clean to me but he choose to. That in itself does need to be taken into consideration. He has told us how the ones that raised him are Followers. These are Followers that survived or didn't join the battle from years ago, are now wanting revenge. Fredrick has been raised his whole life with the same mind set. During his short stay here, of less than a full day, we have shown him we are not the power hungry pack that he has been lead to believe. It is because of this he seen the truth behind everything." I bellow out.
It seems to calm the members, knowing he has changed his mindset. However, I can still fell some anger to the entire issue, because at first his intentions were not as they were made out to be.
"Between your Beta and I, we have came to the conclusion he will stay here within our pack. It makes no difference on his species if he is truly loyal to us. We could use the knowledge he has to do better in training and be ready for the Followers. Possibly even have the chance to go scope them out before they ever make it to our pack." I stop seeing how everyone is reacting now.
As my words seep in, the members start to nod in agreeance.
"For now we will watch Fredrick, and see what is to come. Tonight, I am going to hold a bonfire in respects for the ones lost this morning. The Followers will get what is coming to them and we will end their species." I snarl out the ending.
Everyone bows and members start leaving the field, to get back to the tasks they was doing before I called them again.
No sooner than I can turn to move into the kitchen to help Melissa and Aunt Layla, Uncle Nathan and Alastair move up to me quickly.
I really just want to help them prepare the food. It would help to ease my mind some, cooking is just as good of an escape as running in Storm's form.
"You could have warned me." Uncle Nathan snips.
"He is holding some nice sporting marks on him now, yes." Alastair smiles.
"I didn't react very well at first." I mumble, still a little upset I lost control.
"You need to shower, that way we know your true smell." I look behind them to Fredrick who has followed me inside.
At least he is staying close by, does make it easier to know where he is at.
We do need to keep an eye on our mate. Storm semi growls and hums at the same time. Poor wolf doesn't know whether to be angry or swoon over her mate.
Fredrick leaves and goes up the stairs.
"Are you sure this is what you want to do sis?" Andrew asks looking at me.
No. "Yes, we need him close by. Any information he can tell us on these Followers will be helpful, especially if he knows their fighting forms." I answer.
"That is not the only reason though." Alastair hums.
"Since your all here, might as well tell you even more of what is going on." I take a deep breath.
"Fredrick is also my mate."
Not a single person in the kitchen so much as moves, other than their mouths dropping open.
"That is wonderful sis!" Adam just about screams.
"Our girl finally found her one." Aunt Layla smiles.
"Your mated to a hybrid? My sister is going to have a field day with this and not to even mention your father." Uncle Nathan shakes his head.
Grand, I haven't thought about what Dad may say or do! Mom, well she will be happy. She has been wanting for me to meet my mate and has talked to me about it many times throughout my life, when I got old enough.
A/N--- Hey Hey Guys!!!
So the pack now knows!
Adira told the ones close to her about them being mates.
How do you think her parents will react?
Will the mate bond be stronger once Fredrick's scent is no longer hidden?
