Sacred Ties

Chapter Twenty-Five

Zach's POV

I woke up to someone shaking me and when I opened my eyes, I saw Shane smiling at me. He had his avengers toys on the bed and he carried the captain in his left hand.

"Hey baby. How are you feeling?" I asked him when I sat up and pulled him on my lap. I placed the back of my hand on his forehead and it felt a bit cooler than yesterday.

'I'm fine dad. Uncle Francis came looking for you.' Shane signed and then started playing with his toy.

I looked at my son with a smile that he is getting better. I was really worried with all the news I received yesterday. Thinking about Cemil made me realize that Shane will be having a sibling in three months or was it two months remaining? I didn't know how long it took for a werewolf pregnancy. And I also remember that I haven't told Cemil that I have a son. Would he be okay with it or he would hate my son?

I sighed and got off the bed. I put on some shots and then carry Shane out of the room and down the stairs for breakfast. On my way to the dining room, I saw Francis in the living room so I left Shane with one of the house maid to watch him in case he might need help eating his breakfast. I greeted Francis and asked him if he had arrived this morning.

"We arrived during the night. The orders we got from the alpha was to come here and that you will be telling us what to do because it's still a combined group of us and the werewolves. The group is currently at the our hiding place awaiting your orders. But there is someone else that the alpha sent here to meet you. He is in the backyard for a morning stretch he said." Francis explained and I wondered who this person was.

"Who is he?"

"He is the alpha's uncle." Francis replied and I dismissed him.

I knew about the third in command of Kenneth and that the man was also his uncle. I just didn't have the chance to set my eyes on said uncle before and this will surely be the first time meeting him. I've heard a lot from Kenneth about this man and I know he truly adores his uncle. He wouldn't send him here if there was no reason why, so I had to know why he was here. I walked out of the house to follow the uncle so that I would hear from him the reason he's here. Kenneth hadn't told me about sending his uncle and I was sure he himself would be coming here anytime from now like he had told me. I found the man sitting on the grass and when he saw me, he stood up to greet me.

"Hello sir. I'm Klaus, Kenneth sent me here."

"I'm Zach, sorry I wasn't around to welcome you when you arrived during the night. I hope you were nicely accommodated." I said and he smiled and assured me that he was warmly welcomed. So I asked, "why were you sent you here and when will Kenneth be coming here?" I asked.

"He had sent me here because you needed my help and I'm sorry to tell you this but Kenneth won't be coming here. The enemy attacked last night and took Roman and other omegas. I was informed of this by the beta this morning. Knowing my nephew, he will be having a hard time and he can't solve out the problem here. So I would like to carry out the orders I received."

"What orders?" I asked Klaus. I couldn't believe what he was telling me. Kenneth won't be coming to help and I understood his delay.

"To work on the hybrid issue. I know I'm a stranger and it will be really hard for you to work with me on this, but Kenneth sent me here because he believed I can help you. I hope you trust him enough to let me be your partner as we solve this hybrid issue."

I looked at Klaus and he looked at me. We looked at each other for some time until I looked away. I knew Kenneth wouldn't have sent his uncle if he knew he was incapable of helping me. He was a warrior, a very good one at that but I didn't need one at the moment. I needed someone to talk to, someone who will understand me and help me make decision. Could this man be that someone?
