The Lunar Wolf

:Chapter 20:

Although I got a lot of looks from other wolves, none of them asked me about my new white hair. At least I didn't have to worry about clothes not matching my hair color since everything goes with white. I guess that's a bonus.

I decided to get out and walk around with Eska, she wanted me to meet Nick properly. Although Hadden wanted to fight with the Alpha.

"I told Nick everything so he should be kind to you if he doesn't just tell me and I'll put him in his place" she winked as we entered the Blue Waters campsite.

Many wolves watched us, or me, walk through the camp. Everyone was whispering and gossiping about what I was doing here.

"Ignore them, just let them talk, my Pack is a little known for gossiping" Eska shrugged and led me to a large trailer, which radiated an Alpha's power.

She knocked on the door and then opened it, "Nick it's me, I brought a friend!"

Oh, I'm much more than a friend, I huffed.

She looked at me and raised her brow.

I forgot we could hear each other's thoughts. I guess I would have to be careful of what we say.

We walked into the trailer and The Blue Waters Alpha, Nick was standing there with his arms behind his back in a very Alpha like pose.

We stared at each other I had thrown the 'Don't challenge and Alpha by staring into his eyes' shit out the window. Eska was my Mate and I felt that this wolf threatened that.

Finally, Nick spoke, "White is an interesting hair color, Prince Harvey."

I snorted, "Don't bother asking how it got that way, trust me it's a long and complicated story."

He raised his chin higher, "I don't think I really want to, now that I think about it. So your the one who made Eska cry."

She growled at him, "Nick we went over this!"

In that moment, a tiny wave of fear washed over me, overshadowing his threatening feel.

He stepped closer and closer until we were right up close to each other. Eska had been forced to move out of the way or she would have been squished by us both.

He was a few feet taller than me which made him much more intimidating. The look in his eyes as he glared at me topped it off.

"Eska saved your ass the day I came to find her. You better believe I was ready to beat every inch of you" he threatened.

I began to shake in my boots. I'm sure my fear scent was so strong that they could both smell it because Eska finally got between us and pushed her Alpha away from us.

"Nickolas!" She yelled at him.

He raised his hand, "Relax Eska."

He turned back to me, "Eska is like my little sister Prince Harvey, I was there when you had your... weird illness and she was heartbroken and crying. You've got a wonderful mate, and I expect you to take care of her" he finished.

Well, that took a turn, Hadden said a little surprised.

"Harvey."

He tilted his head, "Excuse me?"

I spoke again, "It's just Harvey, I don't like the whole Prince title, and I don't need you to tell me how special and wonderful she is. Because she's much more than that, much more than any words can describe."

I glanced over at Eska to find her looking up at me, I could faintly see tears welling up in her eyes.

Now you're getting a hand of the whole mate thing, I heard Hadden praise.

Nick patted me on the shoulder a little harshly making me jump a bit, he laughed, "That's all I need to hear, Harvey. We've never had a proper introduction like this, so I'm Nickolas Aldoris. But please call me Nick."

"Harvey Cinkael. Again don't bother adding all that Prince crap, It gets old real fast."

"So does being Alpha."

We smiled and laughed together, Nick assured me that I didn't need to feel threatened by him. Eska was truly like a sister and that is all she would ever be.

Eska had a permanent grin on her face watching us.

Seeing her happy made me and Hadden happy.

I felt my phone vibrate and pulled it out to see who had texted me.

"My family and our guards are going to do a video chat with my parents soon, I should get there."

Nick nodded, "It was nice to meet you, Harvey. Glad you're, not a total douche."

I laughed, "Glad you're not going to kill me. Bye Nick, bye Eska."

"Bye Harvey."

I walked out of his trailer and all the way back to Anju's room again without being disturbed.

I opened the door to her room. Fabian, Sam, and Tray were hooking the computer to the T.V while my siblings sat at the edge of the bed waiting for it to turn on so we could talk with our parents.

"Did you spend some time with Eska?" Mavvie asked me.

I nodded, "Yeah. Eska took me to meet Alpha Nick, he's basically her brother."

"Did you two get along?"

"Pretty much. At first, I thought he was going to one-shot me but he became friendly very quickly and it stayed that way for the rest of the visit."

I sat right in the middle between Anju and Mavvie. Winter was next to Anju. Marcu sat right behind me with Paul. Finally, the other three finished and sat at the foot of the bed on the floor. In seconds Mom and Dad's faces appeared.

"Hey kids, how are you all-"

"HARVEY JAMES CINKAEL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR HAIR!" Mom screeched.

I flinched at the anger in her voice.

"Uh, that's what we need to talk about," Anju said. "A lot has happened with Harvey recently."

Anju gave them a brief rundown of everything including the strange illness, my wolf form and hair color changing.

Mom gasped at the end of it, "Harvey baby are you alright?"

I nodded, "I am now. There's also something else I need to tell you."

Dad pressed his fingers together, "Go on son."

"I found my mate."

Their eyes widened and Marcu, Paul, Sam, Fabian, and Tray all stared at me.

There was silence for a while so I decided to continue, "Her name is Eska Cerie, she from the Blue Waters Pack, which is currently the Pack in first place right now."

A huge grin spread throughout Mom's face, "My youngest child is the first to find his mate! Oh, this is every mother's dream to hear! Harvey, I'm so happy for you, you must send us a picture of her!"

"April calm down," Dad told her then looked back at us, "This is a new thing for you Harvey are-"

"I'm fine Dad" I interrupted him, "Hadden's here to help me with what I need to know for caring for my mate. We've actually gotten closer because of this all."

Finally, Dad smiled, "That's wonderful to hear. Are you four alright up there? Do you want us to come down there?"

Anju, Mavvie, Winter, and I all shared a look with each other and at the same time, we nodded, "It's alright Dad, we want to do this ourselves" Mavvie answered for us.

Marcu spoke up, "We'll continue being there for them Alexander. We give you our word."

Dad gave a sigh of relief, "That's what I like to hear. Be careful, all of you. Your mother and I love you four very much. And Harvey... congratulations son."
