Chapter Three
Syn
"Where are you?" My dad shouted in my head after I pulled down the wall.
"I thought I smelled something off at the place I took Clara earlier and wanted to check it out. We need to talk" I replied coolly
"You know better! You may be able to protect yourself, but you need to at least let us know where you're going" He was pissed. Great.
Atlas was waiting for me in wolf form at the exit of the woods behind the garden. His black wolf was a little over half the size of mine, and if he was part dragon I'm pretty sure he would be breathing fire just about now. Davina gave him a wolfy grin, we were in deep shit. I could turn around right now and go see my best friend, Otr in the dragon mountains and put off telling my father the wedding was off. They would hide me forsure.
Unfortunately it wasn't an option at this point. I was already staring at my fate. Atlas, or Ace in this form snarled at me and came closer to me. I sat down waiting for him to attack, I would win but this was warranted. I had gone against my own rules. No one goes out alone, and make sure someone knows where you are going before you leave. Ezra, my delta and lead warrior was going to grill me too for not taking a guard with me, and grill them for letting me slip past their patrol.
"Where. Have. You. Been. Davina? You smell weird." Ace continued snarling at us. See, I would be afraid but he won't do too much damage, even kind of hurt I could win.
"Can we quit the theatrics? I know I messed up. But we need to talk. Now" I linked back
"Fine." He cut me off and stalked towards the house.
I walked over to the wolf shed and threw on a t-shirt and leggings. If I'm going to be murdered by my father I may as well be comfortable. By the time I got into my office my dad, stepmom, Ryder, Clara, Atlas, Amoura, Ezra, and Valentina were waiting. I nodded at them and sat on my chair. Placing my head in my hands I smiled at them.
"You fool. Why did you not at least tell me you were leaving?" Ezra shot daggers at me.
"Do not talk to me that way. I am your Alpha. I know you all are beyond pissed at me but-" I got cut off by my dad
"Why do you smell like that? Is it magic mixed with a human? A human that has not pledged our pack loyalty" He took a few steps closer "Why do you smell like that?"
"Don't tell me you went back there. I thought you said it was nothing!" Clara grabbed hold of Ryder. She knew not to disrespect me, but I understood why she was upset.
"As I was saying before I was cut off" I started to explain myself, "I met my mate. Where I took Clara last night. Remember those wolves we played with when we were younger? I found them, and their owner. He's human, and my mate."
The room fell silent, and all I wanted to do was run to my room and cry. Not only did he not want me, but he already had someone. I blame the emotions on the jealousy and that wolves are especially sensitive when it comes to their mate.
"Are you sure, red eyes?" my stepmom's voice broke the silence and shock in the room like a knife.
"Davina has never been more sure in her life." I looked down at my hands and then put my head up, trying to avoid looking weak. As a female alpha I have already had my fair share of ridicule.
"I just ask because Evandar brought up the fact you smelt like magic." She tapped her head and closed her purple eyes "Yes! Aha I remember. There is a way to magically have another believe that you are their betrothed, but I don't think that it can work on wolves. I've never heard of it. I need to do research. Clara! Come with me dear girl"
"What's a betrothed?" Ryder asked looking at Ezra who looked just as confused
"You know how we have mates? Vampires have beloveds? Witches have betrotheds. Their bonds aren't like ours or vampires, where we love the other unconditionally. Their betrothed is with the one person who can strengthen their magic, if you have two witches that are betrothed against you... good luck." Valentina explained "If a witch is already powerful on their own and they meet their betrothed it can be considered a magical supernova. Which is not that concerning. What is concerning is if the witch has orange eyes. Orange means that the witch practices black magic for evil or selfish reasons."
Ezra and Ryder looked at each other and gawked before looking at Val. They looked like a couple of scared pups that got caught sneaking another cookie after their mom told them no already.
"She's right. I'm assuming that if he is a witch or is close to one it could be dangerous for you to see him again. If Alice finds that witches can make a pseudo mate, we need to track him down and question him. He's on our territory Syn. Going completely undetected." My dad looked at me with pleading eyes. Tears welling up in them. With one look from me everyone else dispersed from the room.
"I know. Don't cry dad, if you do I will. Why are you crying though?" I asked
"If he really isn't your mate and it is magic I don't want you to go through the pain of losing a mate. If it's possible to be done, we don't know how you or your wolf will react. Losing a mate is not something they take lightly" He said solemnly
He had a hard time after losing my mother. She passed just after I was born from a slash mark across her throat lying in a hospital bed. Someone wanted to get to my dad, and in the worst way possible.
He was distraught for awhile, I was raised by my grandmother. It took him 5 years to even come close to being okay and another 3 years to take me back from her. She passed 3 months after, like she was waiting to ensure he was ready and that I would be okay. Seeing how her death still hurts him made this situation a bit more complicated.
That's not to say he didn't love Alice, she was the best thing that has happened to him since my mom. She loved him fiercely, but never spoke about who her betrothed was and if she ever met them.
"I understand dad. I need to tell you something." I decided to tell the truth "He knows a witch, his home is in one of their force field things that Alice showed us. I ran into it and flew back into a tree. He kept saying that he has 'Ash' and didn't want me"
"Hm. Did he know what you are?" he pondered what I said "I would ask if you are okay but Davina is the strongest wolf I've seen in a long time. So much like your mother."
Davina bathed in the praise, but not for long.
"Alice says it takes a lot of power to create one and keep one up. How old is he?" way to go dad, ruin my moment.
"He has to be around my age. I warned him I would be back, and if I brought Alice with me it would be up to him" I smirked at the memory, I could be quite the spit fire.
"Hmm. Let me run this by Alice, I don't know too much about it. It could complicate things. He may not be her betrothed, but she has him under her control and he could be your true mate" He stood up and patted my head before turning on his heel and leaving me alone with my thoughts.
