Aldric's POV
Mate...
Mate..
Mate.
Omg! We found our mate, Axe!! I said to Axe in my head.
Yes, mate. Axe let out a happy howl in my head.
I came out of this little victory moment and looked towards my beautiful mate, who was surprisingly glaring at me.
Why is he glaring at me? I asked Axe
Maybe because we entered his space without asking. Axe replied
Yeah understandable Werewolves are very possessive over territories, and our personal rooms are our own territories.
I take a step forward towards him so I can hug him and keep him in my arms forever.
But as soon as I took a step forward, he growled at me, and I could smell his fear and many other negative emotions, and that upset me.
Still, I wanted to try and talk to him about what exactly was going on in his mind, so I took another few steps forward, and as I was about to touch him, he screamed "no," and trust me, it was a very deafening scream.
And later, he passed out.
I could not move; he fell on the bed, thank Goddess, but I was stunned. Axe howled at the rejection from our mate.
I guess people downstairs heard him scream as Ethan and Lia came running first, and Ethan started trying to wake Noah up.
Liam came in the room and saw Noah passed out and grabbed my collar, asking me what the heck was I doing in his room? And what did I do that Noah screamed so loudly? etc.
"Calm down, Liam; we need to talk in a more civil way, and don't forget, he is our future Alpha." Ethan said.
Liam let go of me but was glaring daggers at me, and my friends were looking at me confused.
"Alright, let's go; he is fine. Let him rest for a while; let us go down and sit and talk." Ethan said, and we all followed.
Once we all settled down in the living room, Ethan was glaring at me as if he wanted to tear me apart, and the same was true for Liam.
"So, Aldric, what did you do to my little brother? Why is he in that condition? Care to explain?" Liam said it with venom dripping through his voice.
"Oh, trust me, I did not know he would have such a reaction, and I did not hurt him. I can never hurt him or even think of hurting him. He is my mate," I replied, and everybody was looking at me shocked.
"Wait, if he is your mate, why did you not get it when we met him a few times before?" Val said
"I don't know. I couldn't smell his scent earlier." I replied
"Well, it's good that you found your mate. Congratulations man!" Clovis said as he read the room tension and hugged me.
"Yes, true. Congratulations, Al," Val said.
"Guys, can you help me in the kitchen to fix up a quick birthday treat?" Mia said, and all of us were following her, but Ethan stopped me.
"I would like to talk to you. Follow me." He said
As we entered a room that looked like a study and settled down, he had a very strict, cold expression on his face, which honestly was intimidating.
"Aldric, son, I won't beat around the bush. I am really glad that my son found his mate, and you're his mate. But before anything goes forward, I need you to know some important things about Noah." He said
