Storm Born Book One

Chapter 20

He barely saw his father since they had come here, he understood he had hundreds of wolves to look after he was very busy, but he missed the times when they were alone and it was just the two of them. Sighing he needed to switch his mind off and think of other things he shifted onto his side and gently moved the sleeping girl laying her head on the pillow. She made a cute pout in her sleep and immediately shuffled back to his side. Perhaps one day he could go home, he missed the animals they kept in the undercroft he missed his home, but mostly he missed the wide-open moors he would love to go there someday with Meredith, he had wished very hard to the goddess for it and that she would be able to see it he wanted her to see it with her own eyes.

He was supposed to be training with Liam and Thomas tomorrow but he had already been told that they would be busy with the new arrivals at least for the next few days, he understood his father needed them to help him he just wished he could help to but he had been ordered to stay out of the way and told to stay with Merrion and her children by his mother, it was not fair he could help to he was the Alpha Heir it was right that he should help. Mother always treated him like a baby it was not as if he would break carrying a few blankets or some food.

Hearing the door he quickly closed his eyes and feigned sleep, he could hear movement in the room, and sensing it was Meredith's parents he hunkered further under the covers.

"She is in here Fenwynn" her mother sighed.

"I thought she would be" Fenwynn sounded amused.

"Shall we move her to her bed"?

"No leave her be, she will be confused when she wakes, best leave her where she is"

"But Fen it isn't proper at her age to be tucked up with a boy."

" Perhaps, but they are young still I doubt they will get up to anything at their age."

"But..."

"...We shall have another talk with them in the morning let them sleep for tonight''

But they are so attached already is this normal in truth it scares me why can she not have an ordinary..."

Darius squinted getting a fuzzy view of the pair, Meredith was his? How was she his?

''They are mates Meredith granted they have found each other very young but it is not unheard of. The goddess has deemed it appropriate to pair them who are we to question it"?

"He is the Storm Born Fen....I just want her to have a peaceful life"

"Come my love we need to get some rest you are tired we will talk more about this but right now we all need sleep" he closed his eyes as he listened as her parents left the room his brain buzzing Mates Meredith and him were mates is this why they were so close why he felt so empty when they were not together. Did Meredith feel the same, she was always so clingy was this why?

He cuddled closer to her She was his, his mate he wondered why he had not realised it before then. He had asked his wolf Zenith why Meredith was so clingy had he known why had he not told him he got the horrible feeling that his wolf kept a lot from him and it was not a feeling he liked.

His eyes shifted he could hear his wolf grunting in his mind if he could not sleep why should he, he thought crossly first his father treating him like a baby and now it seemed his wolf did too, not just about being Meredith's mate either, he had not missed the worry in Merrion's voice.

"He is the Storm Born Fenwynn....I just want her to have a peaceful life" she had said what was he that Merrion should be so unhappy that Meredith was his mate?
