Chapter 234

I smile. “Exactly. So, I went to her room and … I could tell she’d been masturbating. Her scent, oh goddess her scent. Dad, I’ve never smelled a woman who made my mouth water like she did. My body responds to her just by being in her presence. It took all of my training not to drag her back into her room so I could taste her and make her scream with pleasure like I’ve been trained to do.”
I cover my eyes, waiting for my father’s verdict.
“Son, have you considered that she might be your fated mate?” he asks gently.
“She’s underage, Dad. I wouldn’t feel the pull to her yet.”
“Maybe, maybe not. You’re both Alphas. That matters. She’s close to eighteen, you just turned eighteen and your wolf will be actively looking for his mate.”
“Right, but what if my wolf is finding her attractive but she’s not my mate? What then? I have to be appropriate with her. I’m in a power position …” I begin and my father begins laughing.
“What?” I ask indignantly.

“It sounds to me like SHE’S in the power position, Christian. You’re the one struggling to maintain control. She may be as well, but as you said, she’s not the one trying to figure out if her parents were murdered, trying to make sure that the Alpha heir is safe and prepared to take over the pack/ And let’s be honest, you and I both know that your mother is the one with all the power in our relationship. ”

I chuckle. “I’m guessing she’s there?”
“She is, but that doesn’t change the truth of my words.”
I remain quiet as I hear my mother talking in the background.
“Brilliant as always, my love. Christian, your mother has a great idea. She suggests that we come visit you this weekend. That way, if you need help with any pack members, we can help with that, and I can objectively see you and Alpha Enya together and give you my thoughts.”
“Dad, I would love that! Plus, I think Sebastiana and Shane are around the same age, so they’ll both be going to the Academy at the same time. It would be great for them to meet each other now and hopefully become friends. Neither he nor Enya have the confidence that Sebi has,” I say, making my father snort.
“Who does?” he asks, making me chuckle.
“No one. But maybe seeing Sebi will help Enya see that going to the Academy will be good for her.

“You want her to go to the Academy?” my father asks, obviously surprised.
“Well, yeah. She should go. She shouldn’t feel like her only option in life is to be a Luna,” I say.
“And you’d be okay if she’s your mate and you sent her to the Academy?” he asks, obviously referencing the sex class.
“Did you really just ask that in front of Mom?” I ask. “And besides, I won’t know until after she’s back if she’s my mate. What kind of a guardian would I be if I deny her that opportunity just because she might be my mate?” I ask.

“A good point that your mother is sure to remind me of tonight,” he says, and I can hear in the tone of his voice that she will definitely be doing that.
There’s a knock at my door and I walk over, opening it to a very grief- stricken Enya.
“Dad, I have to go.”
“Me too. We’ll see you this weekend?” he asks.
“See you then,” I say, ending the call without taking my eyes off Enya.
I open my arms, and she collapses into me. I scoop her up, closing the door and carrying her to the love seat in my room. I sit down, holding her tightly as her tears begin to soak my chest.
