The Royal Alpha

Chapter 27: Confession Time [Part 2]

FENRIS

"What answers was the witch talking about?" asks Zion no wonder scenting the witch.

"Something happened in the school which makes me question who my true parents were? I am suspicious that our fathers know about it but are hiding it from me. Just came to ask them," I say not explaining further.

"Anything serious? How is Caliana?"

"Your sister is fine. She found her mate. You might receive an invitation for the claiming ceremony," I say.

"What? Please tell me it is not you, right?" says Zion, surprise and panic evident on his face. I laugh at his expression.

"The future Alpha of the Moon Stone pack. Know Lycidas Volkov?" I ask remembering how Lycidas had once maturely handled the situation brought upon him by Zion. The calm, analysing gaze of Lycidas had ignored Zion's trouble making behavior and quietly explained his need to be seen as a son rather than the future alpha of the pack. The scene had definitely embarrassed young Zion but had helped Fenris to let go of his reservations of being adopted into a totally unknown pack.

"I hope you threatened to rip off his throat if he hurts even a single hair on her head," he says tightening his fists clearly remembering the memory of his insult at the hands of a younger wolf.

"He wouldn't hurt his own mate after all he purposely stayed away from, she-wolves trying to claim him for his title and also kind of saved himself for his mate. Clearly a trait foreign to you," I say successfully riling him up. I smirk inwardly when he just shrugs, in deep thought, not explaining his womanising ways.

Zion never took well to me being adopted. The Luna got distracted by a bruised pup so much that it forced Zion to take care of himself and then when I got settled in the pack, baby Caliana fell sick and once again Zion had deal with his own problems. Even when he was surrounded by his pack, he was still lonely and in a twisted sort of way, I understood how he felt and his wolf reciprocated that feeling thus, forming this weird friendship between us.

Never together but always looking out for each other.

The sound of the Luna calling out for us breaks my thoughts and I shake my head to focus on Zion.

"It is good to see that you did not get bullied in the school. Good that you followed my footsteps," he says smugly trying to diffuse the serious moment.

"You wish, old brother," I say with a bite in my voice earning myself a smack on the back of my head. I reciprocate and soon we are full on brawling on the porch of the Alpha's house.

"Zacharias, come on out here before these pups rip off the hair on each other's heads," shouts the Luna and within seconds we are separated from each other by the Alpha holding our necks and shoving us in the opposite direction making us stumble.

Barely managing my balance, I stand and wipe the blood from the corner of my lips and see Zion doing the same making me smirk.

"Zion! What is this behavior? Is this how you welcome your friend after so long? Apologise now!" says the Luna in her calm yet scary voice.

"That's fine Luna. I hope you are doing well," I say as I shift my gaze between the Alpha and his mate.

"It is always good to see you Fenris but this time you made us wait longer than before. I hope you are back home for good," she says making me pause before answering.

"Not sure, Luna. I will be staying for a few days at the least," I say as I go ahead and greet her and the Alpha. The Alpha claps me on the back loudly nearly making me fall but I manage to stay standing.
