[Zayn]

I shuffle through paperwork on my desk sorting it to file it away. I rub my tired eyes as I type an email to the neighboring vampire clan to make an treaty. I hear a knock on my door and I sigh and get up to answer the door not wanting to be bothered. I pull open the door to reveal Justice with a chocolate covered face with a very large chocolate cake in hand.

"Justice", I say smiling at the beautiful woman carrying not one but two of my pups.

"Zay-pooh", She says reaching up to pinch my cheek while holding her tummy.

"Don't call me that it's not manly", I say grabbing her hand and pulling her into my office.

"You're no fun", Justice says pouting and sticking her lip out. Sometimes I wonder how life would be if she was my companion. I knew for sure she was my mate, I felt every dreamy feeling my mother told my Austin and I about.

"Sorry but I'm Alpha Zayn not Zay-pooh", I say sitting behind my desk as she sits in front of me eating the large chocolate cake.

"Since when did we get so formal Alpha?", She says with a mouth full of cake.

"Well every since the ceremony", I say rubbing the back of my neck. I checked or her before it started and rushed back. I could tell by her hurt features and glassy eyes she was hurt by this.

"Sorry Alpha", She whispers looking down eating her cake. I feel my hear swell and I go to her, I kneel in front of her and grab her hands.

"Look I'm sorry but you're not my true mate. I understand I have to care for you because of the pups", I say caressing her hand and looking her into the eye. I move her cake and take her into my arms.

"Only because of the pups.", She says breaking down.

"Hey, hey it's not because of them it's because I want to.", I confess truthfully.

"My mom doesn't want me!", She shrieks crying harder.

Her mom is dead?

"Are you ok? I thought you said she was dead", I ask pulling back looking into her golden eyes.

"I did to but then she called a while back", Justice says looking away.

"You didn't tell me you're death mother called you!", I shout standing and crossing my arms.

"I didn't want to interrupt you and the Luna", She whispers crying softly.

"You have to think of yourself sometimes", I say with stern voice.

"I thought she should kill me", Justice says fiddling with her thumb.

"Kill you? If she knew what was best she wouldn't harm you or my pups", I say getting a feeling of protectiveness.

"I was shaken when she threaten me, but its ok now she said sorry", Justice chirps continuing on her cake.

"Now back to your mother, what did she say to you?", I ask using my Alpha tone, which for some reason had no affect on her.

"I asked about why she left, what happened to my father, and that's about it", She says knitting her eyebrows together.

"What was she like?", I ask curious.
