Bearing The Heir

Chapter 3

How I picture Theo above
Andrews (pov)

The next morning I wake up early to get ready for a busy day. I shower and then get dressed for the day. I chose black cargo pants with a black long sleeve polo shirt and my combat boots.

  My sandy hair pulled back out of my face. I walk down the stairs.  my mom and grandparents are waiting for me. We will walk together to breakfast.

As we enter the dining hall we notice it is extra loud. This must be because of the new guests arriving. On the far side I see my cousin talking to a group of large men with very broad shoulders atleast 6"5 inches tall.

  They must be the bear shifters. I am shorter as it is for a man at 5"9.  My mom says that is the elf in me. As I get closer my Wolf starts to get agitated.

I walk up to Dom and Arabella. They stop talking to the visitors to introduce me. Dominic gets to the largest man in the group.

  He must be atleast 6"8 almost a full foot taller than me. He is built like a linebacker with wide shoulders. He has a short buzz cut dark brown hair and beard with dark brown eyes to match.

He introduces him as Theodore second in command. When his eyes meet mine. They turn a bright honey color.

  In the deepest voice I have ever heard he says Mate! I look stunned but my wolf says Mate. I continue to shake his hand with a firm grip and electricity shoots down my arm.

I let go to look up at him. I say I am Andrew. I am from the moon river pack. My uncle Derrick is the current beta of this pack. Please call me Drew.

  He tells me he prefers Theo. He then asks if he may sit with me for breakfast. Of course I say yes. I can not believe I found my mate. I am so excited.

Arabella looks at me. She squeals and gives me a hug. She says I knew something big would happen on this trip. If we only knew the extent of it.

  We all sit down and dig in to our breakfast. I had a bagel with egg, cheese and bacon and a large tea. Theo had bacon, sausage, ham, and biscuits with gravy. What can I say a large appetite for a large man.

In the middle of our breakfast. Pack warriors run in saying that the green meadow pack had a run in with rogues. While they were on their way here.

  A few members were injured. Mom stands right away. She is going to meet them to help since she is a healer. She looks at me for confirmation.

I stand up and tell her I will assist her. I also have healing capabilities. Theo looks at me. I tell him mom is half elf and has healing powers.

  I am quarter elf, quarter sorcerer and half wear wolf. I also have healing abilities. I am currently training under my mom to be a pack healer.

He nods, kisses my forehead and tells me to be safe. I go outside with mom.  We transform into our wolves and tie our clothes around our ankles. Mom grabs her bag with her first aid supplies with her teeth and we are on our way.

It takes us about 45 minutes to reach them. When we enter the area we see chaos. We were told they were attacked but had it covered. What we see is about 15 rogues. They are surrounding and fighting the maybe 10 wolves from the green meadow pack that are not injured.

I see the injured about 20 feet away. They are sitting by a tree. Two rogues are creeping towards them.

  My mom yells to the three warriors that accompanied us to fight. Someone contact the silver moon pack for reinforcements. Mom transforms back into her wolf to fight.

I throw on my cargo pants, grab moms bag and run towards the injured. I hurry up and get in front of the rogues. I put up a protective barrier between the rogues and us. Thank goodness for being part sorcerer with magic capability.

I walk towards the first wolf and he does not look to bad. He has some scrapes and a broken wrist. I wipe his cuts and bandage his wrist. With wear wolf healing he should be better by tomorrow.

  The next two are females both bruised. The first one has a deep gash on her side that I stitch up. The other had a black eye and a sprained ankle.

As I am checking the injured I look up to see the battle is still going. My mom and warriors seem to have it covered but everyone is still fighting. Thankfully my barrier is still holding up. I see the last two injured in front of me.

I look at an olive skinned tone man with shoulder length raven black hair. He seems to be the most injured. I walk towards him. As I do my wolf starts to stir again.

I see that he is unconscious with blood dripping down his forehead. He is covered in bruises and his ankle looks crushed. Someone covered him with a sheet. At least he is not naked. You are able to see the damage.

I walk the last few feet to him. I crouch down and check his pulse. As soon as I touch him electric tingles shoot through my body. His eyes fly open. He and I both say Mate at the same time.

  He then passes back out. I begin to freak out. I have heard of having more than one mate. It is very rare.

  I decide to shake it off and continue to appraise his injuries. Turns out he needed stitches above his eye. He has three broken ribs, a crushed ankle and many bruises.

He needs to get to the pack clinic and be properly cared for. He is looking at probably two days of rest. I stand up to check on the last of the injured in my circle. As I go to walk away my injured mate grabs my wrist.

  I see him barely peeking through his lashes. I tell him I am learning to be a pack healer. He is my mate and my name is Andrew. He looks at me says his names is Tobalt then his eyes close again.

I go to the last injured he is also passed out. He looks like he just has a nasty bump on his head and minor bruises. I look up and see that the fighting is over. My mom is taking care of the other injured.

I let down the barrier. As I am walking to my mom. I see help arriving. Amongst them is Theo. As his eyes land on me.

  I see relief on his face. Theo sprints up to me. We embrace then I grab him by his hand. I drag him towards where Tobalt sits unconscious.

I tell him I somehow have another mate. He looks upset. That is until he sees Tobalt. His eyes change to that honey tone and his bear whispers mate.

  He kneels down next to Tobalt. Theo pushes Tobalts black hair behind his ear. As he does that Tobalt's bright green eyes shoot open. He looks at Theo and says Mate.

I tell Theo the extent of Tobalt's injuries. He really needs to be taken to the pack clinic. Theo insists on carrying him on his back while He is in bear form.

  I help him get Tobalt on his back. I give them both kisses on their head. I then tell Theo to keep them both safe.

He nods and trots back towards the pack clinic. I continue helping mom. Until everyone is cared for well enough to head back.

  Mom and I transform into our wolves. Along with everyone else. We take off back towards the pack territory. We head straight to the clinic.

We are surprised to see the Alpha, beta and the group of elves from yesterday waiting for us. We transform and get dressed. Alpha Thomas asks to talk to mom and I privately with my mates.
