My older Alpha Mate

9

BRIELLE'S POV

My mom looked like me, but older and a bit taller. Her clothing was torn and her eyes were sunken into her skull, and her cheekbones were very prominent due to hunger. There was blood splattered across her torso, and I prayed it wasn't hers.

Shay, Percy, and my dad showed up right behind me. I couldn't move, I just stared in shock at the woman that stood before me.

"Celeste?" My father's voice cracked. He fell to his knees before her and his wolf let out a mournful howl. "Celeste, my love! I thank the moon goddess for your return!" Her hand cradeld his face and she bent down to kiss his forehead. Silent tears leaked out of the corners of his crinkles eyes, and the grin on his face was something I had never seen before.

"My mate. It killed me to leave, but it was nessicary for your protection and Brielle's," She now turned to me. My mother opened her arms wide, calling me to her. I gladly returned the embrace, but then the world went black.

SHAY'S POV

I saw as Bri entered her mother's and father's embrace, happy for my mate. But then something truely horrific happened. As soon as Bri's skin touched Celeste's, the small family was gone in a poof of dust.

I sniffed, and an anchient gene from my wolf reconised it as fairy dust. Fairies had been long extinct, and I thought the dust had died with them.

Fairies were enimies of the wolves, but with their extinction they were not thought of in a long time. I howled and searched the area in wolf form. There must have been a spell on Celeste, did she not know? A mother would never bring harm to her pup on purpose.

Where had Celeste been for the past decade? How is she not dead? Does the seeker know of this? I decided that my best chance at finding my mate was to find her, because the damned dust erased the scent so tracking was out of the question.

CELESTE'S POV

I was truely happy to be with my mate and pup once more. When I felt Brielle's skin on mine, I felt a small jerk in my stomach, and relised they had put a charm on me. Stupid, I KNEW they had acsess to Fairy dust, I didn't think they would waste it on me. I whimpered, because I knew what they were planning for my mate and pup now.

ROGUE ALPHAS POV

Stupid little mutt, of course we put a charm on her, she just made our plan ten times eaiser! She brought her mate and pup to us! The pup was vital, she would bring her own mate here, who was also another key to the plan. Celeste's mate could be disposed of, he was only of use dead, because it would put the pup and Celeste in a weaker state.

They materialised before me, with Celeste barely consious, and the mate and pup were compleatly knocked out.

"Brielle," Celeste croaked. I laughed. I know new the pups name. I would need to make her weak for the plan. I grinned, because I knew how.

"Boys, tell Carter that dinner's ready!"
