Feral Wolf
Chapter 23

“Alpha Altair?” I asked, looking at him. Everyone turned to look at him and he blinked several times before shaking his head and then turning again to look at Achilles.

“May I speak with you alone, Alpha Czar?” He asked, his voice rough.

I frowned but nodded and motioned for everyone to leave the room. Achilles huffed and crossed his arms.

“I don’t want to leave just yet.” He murmured.

Brontes placed his hand on Achilles’s shoulder, “How about you come a little later to see Alpha Czar? Right now, the Alphas have things to discuss.”

“Ok.” Achilles said with reluctance before hopping down from the bed and walking to the door. After he left, Alpha Altair exhaled deeply, before looking at me.

“Do you remember when I told you I was looking for a man? It was Yuna’s brother. Yuna came to me a few months ago. She said that she had given birth to my son and has hidden him away from me until only a few months ago when her brother took our son away from her. She needed my help to replace him. I tracked him here.” He said and ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “Hell, all the pieces fit together. Achilles is mine. He is my son.”

I stood up to walk to him. I placed my hand on his arm to get his attention. His eyes moved from my hand to my face.

"If he is your son you need to be there for him. He needs someone to re-teach him how a father really is. The man that I killed was horrible to him. If he was your son, you have to understand that he has a bad past and will need your love.” I said. Alpha Altair’s eyes swarmed with many emotions but there was one thing I could see in the firm line of his mouth--determination.

“He is mine. My male. My pup.” Alpha Altair confirmed. “I would do anything to defend his life.” He pulled me into a tight hug. “Thank you so much for saving him.”

Brontes growled behind me and grumbled a few words at Alpha Altair before coming to stand behind me where he pulled me out from Alpha Altair’s embrace.

“Enough. You are hugging my mate too long.” Brontes grumbled.

Alpha Altair chuckled and shook his head but did let me go as Brontes pulled me back into his arms. Alpha Altair looked happy now.

“I understand you two have come close to Achilles. I will like to bring him back home with me and I hope you two can help me in persuading him.” Alpha Altair began.

“I know that he would not need much persuasion. He really does want a family.” I replied. “However, if you need my assistance in speaking with him, I would be glad to.”

“Thank you, Alpha Czar. It seems now I owe you a favor now. You have assisted me without knowing but nonetheless I am grateful. Now that my mission is completed I would like to go back home soon as I have left my pack for a while now.”

After discussing what to do with Achilles for a while, Alpha Altair left Brontes and I to go meet his son on his own. I hoped things would turn out fine for them. Brontes was glad to have me alone again; as soon as Alpha Altair left he carried me back into bed and snuggled in with me.

“It feels like an eternity since I have had you all to myself.” Brontes grumbled as his nose ran along my hair, sniffing me. His hand was caressing my arm gently. His other wrapped over my waist tightly as he pulled me close to him.

“You missed me?” I asked as I played with the hem of his shirt with my fingers.

“I missed having you all to myself.” He responded huskily and I felt myself growing warm. He placed a finger under my chin to lift my head up to look at his. “You don’t know how happy I am since you entered into my life.”

“Tell me.” I whispered back while looking into his beautiful, emerald green eyes that glowed with happiness. He grinned and then spoke.

“Living in the hunters camp I was lonely. I have always felt empty like nothing can fill this space inside of me. The moment I laid my eyes on you--something inside of me snapped and my wolf rose up to the surface to gaze upon the beautiful enchantress in front of us. You stole our heart that day with your kindness.”

I stole his heart? Was he saying he loves me? I couldn’t tell. For the first time ever, I couldn’t tell. I needed him to tell me the words.

“You made me happy too.” I whispered softly. He leaned down and gave me an eskimo kiss.

“You have a cute nose, you know that?” He said with a smile. “I just want to bite it off.”

I covered my nose, “No way will you get to bite it.”

He chuckled and pulled me back into his arms.

“Fine but I can’t agree with wanting to-” He glanced at my cheek before leaning in to bite it. “Bite your cute cheeks!”

“Brontes!” I shouted while laughing, trying to push him off. He laughed and moved from my cheek to my neck where he nuzzled his mark before licking it, sending a pleasurable tremble through my body. “I love the taste of you.”

When I was with him, it seemed like all my worries were gone or not carried all alone on my shoulders. It felt like Brontes took some of it away and it seemed like he didn’t mind pampering me at all. In fact, it seemed he loved pampering me and showing me affection. It made me happy...I think I would have to agree that ever since he entered into my life, I had been happier.

He was my male.
