After taking a shower, Alexander dressed up in his black button-down shirt and denim pants while I dressed in my black ripped jeans and yellow top.

It was nearly three hours since we had arrived at his mansion. We both descended the stairs to witness Tyra’s scowling face on our living room. Aiden and Drake were also there.

Guess, this was going to be a long day, I heaved a heavy sigh.

Alexander’s POV~

We both descended the stairs to witness, Tyra’s hateful glare on my Catherine. I snaked my arm around Catherine’s shoulder and hugged her closer to my side. When we reached my living room, Catherine smiled at me and went to the kitchen to join with my brothers’ mates. I heaved a sigh and tucked both my hands in my denim pockets.

“Let’s go to my study room,” I ordered her and my brothers, who were in the living room with my Alpha tone. My brothers looked at me with worry etched face, while Tyra frowned at me but she didn’t utter a single word.

We all entered my study room and they all took a seat in front of my desk as soon as I settled on my chair.

“What the hell was she doing in our sacred place!” Tyra bawled at me with fury, her hands were balled in a tight fist. My brothers gave me an amused look with raised eyebrows at her question.

“Don’t fucking yell at me! She is my girlfriend and soon she will be the Luna of my pack so I don’t see a problem taking her there!” I yelled at her barely controlling my resentment.

“She is a pathetic human! She is no match even for our lowest-ranked werewolves!” she screamed at me. Her eyes darkened with blood lust, I could see her struggling to control her wolf from surfacing. Her canines elongated out of her mouth. She looked like she was about to murder someone.

“Enough!” I growled and landed my fist on my desk with my fierce force, causing it to break into two. I could feel my wolf trying to surface but I pushed him down.

“Get to your room, now!” I scowled at her. She cowered in submission and I could see the fright in her eyes. She bowed one last time and dashed out of the room with both fury and panic.

“Are you alright?” Aiden asked me softly. I nodded, unable to speak with my rage.

“Other pack members will be arriving by tomorrow morning, take some rest.” Drake notified me and they both exited my study room with a pat on my back.

I took a large breath and decided to retire for the night. It was just nine O’ clock and I decided to skip my dinner. When I crossed the living room to ascend the stairs, a peal of melodious laughter stopped me on my track.

It was from the kitchen, I took a few steps and admired the beautiful sight in front of me. Catherine was standing near the kitchen counter, while my niece and nephew were covered with flour. I think they were baking something, my brothers mates were sitting on the stools and laughing at them. Drake’s mate, Tania was gently wiping off the flour from Judith’s face while she was playing with Tania’s wild curly black hair.

Catherine’s laughter was a piece of melodious music to my wrecked soul. I instantly forgot my argument and rage, instead it was replaced with love for my sweet cheeks.

My feet carried me to my soul’s medicine without my conscience. I cleared my throat awkwardly and tucked my hands in my denim pockets, making them stop, what they were doing.

“Let’s clean you guys, shall we?” Aiden’s mate, Hazel stuttered and helped her kids to climb down the counter. She gave me a knowing smile and winked at Catherine which made her rosy cheeks to turn crimson red.

“But mommy, we are not done playing with Aunt, Catherine,” The kids whined with a pout.

“Why don’t we all play tomorrow, even I’ll join you,” I tried to convince them with a gentle smile. Their cute little faces scrunched adorably like they were thinking something very important in this entire world and finally, they gave me a ‘Yay’ with their child-like laughter.

“Ok deal, uncle, Alec,” they yelled enthusiastically and went with their mommy.

“I’ll help hazel to clean them,” Tania chirped with a smile and made her way with them. I gave her a grateful smile.

As soon as the area was cleared out, I hugged my sweet cheeks close to my chest. She reflexively wrapped her tiny arms around my massive frame and kissed the curve of my neck which sent a bolt of electric waves down my spine.

“Are you okay?” she softly murmured against my warm skin which made me tighten my embrace around her.

“Just some work stress,” I murmured against her silky locks. She smelled like vanilla and strawberries mixed with chocolate. I placed my feather-like kisses along her jawline.

“Have you eaten something?” I murmured against her jaw.
