Ficool

Chapter 6 - Chapter Six

Mellisa's POV

"Ma, go faster," my little boy's voice resounds in my ears. I then push him faster on the swing.

The incident last week with Adam still rings in my head. He didn't fully see my boy, I walked briskly away after him taking advantage of the moment of shock.

"Ma, are you distracted again?" Gift asks, ever so thoughtful and sweet.

"Alpha, the Red Crescent pack are here. Should I take them to the old pack house to settle so you can meet them later?" My Beta, Aiden mutters through the mindlink.

"Yes, do that. Thank you, Aiden, it's so thoughtful of you." He knows about what happened in my past with Adam.

I don't want him to get too close to my son again, I have to think of something.

I hold onto the arm of the swing to then turn to face Gift. "I'm sorry, Mom has been absent minded these days. Let's go get some ice cream from the fridge."

His face lit in joy and his little teeth make him look so adorable. "Thank you, Mom. You're the bestest." He says giving me a big hug.

He then pulls me hastily towards the pack house with his tiny hands.

"I will tell Uncle Daddy, Ma, give me ish cweam before lunch." Gift says as we step into the pack house using the kitchen door.

"Did I hear you right little one?" Fred teases coming from the staircase.

My boy let go of my hand and ran to him.

"Uncle Daddy!!! I mish you so much." Fred lifts him up in his hands, spinning him around.

I fold my arms and lean against the kitchen counter.

Gifts laughter resounds in the kitchen. They have such a beautiful relationship. Fred helps me so well in balancing my work life and being a mother.

"So, your Mom finally agreed to give you ice cream at brunch."

"I so adorable, that why." My boy smirks at him. Fred's bellows with laughter.

I shoot him a playful glare, "You have been quite an influence on my baby."

Fred then smiles at me, "Ofcourse, I'm his Uncle Daddy."

My baby smiled at me from his arms.

"Anyways, can you help us get the ice cream from the fridge, Alpha."

"Sure thing," I said, walking towards the fridge and pulling his favourite out. I then hand it over to him.

"I'll head to my office, so much paperwork," I say grumpily.

"Alpha, you're doing just fine. Don't worry I'll take care of my little princess."

"Thank you so much, Fred. I can't even explain how much what you do means to me."

I then give Gift a peck on the forehead, "I love you baby, don't worry your Uncle Daddy too much."

I walk briskly upstairs towards my office. I'm not ready to see my ex-mate, it comes with so much pain.

I'm not even ready to meet other members of the pack, they treated me horribly.

I arrived at the door of my office just in time, Aiden was leaning against the wall.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here." Aiden taunts with a smirk.

"What do you want, Aiden?"

"You said I should show them to their place, remember?"

"Yes, and?"

"I came to give you feedback at least."

"Alright, let's get into my office." I see my keys to unlock the door and twist the door knob, stepping inside.

I walk to my seat and Aide gets comfortable too.

He peers at me thoughtfully, "Why are you staring at me like that? What's the feedback about?"

"You know you can't keep running right?"

"Who said I was," I snapped at him.

"Ooooo someone's got her panties up in a twist."

"Aidennnnn."

"Yesssssss."

I release a sigh and knock my forehead on, "Fine you caught me, I just feel so overwhelmed, Aiden."

"I thought it was all in the past, but I feel like all my scars are torn open. He hurt me badly, Aiden. So bad." Tears brim at my eyes.

He reaches out to me and says, "We're here for you. We love you and you don't have to take everything alone."

I take a deep breath to hold back the tears. "Thank you so much, Aiden. Those words mean so much to me."

I take some seconds to calm down. "Okay, give me the updates."

He raises an eyebrow, "You sure?"

"Yeah, go on."

"Well, I'd say they're in for a surprise. They don't know who the Alpha is. It would seem Adam didn't tell them anything."

"I see, and?"

"Well the old pack house is in good condition, all thanks to you. Also it was able to accommodate everyone."

"At least everything went well?"

"Yes Alpha."

"But we might need to work on certain things like jobs and productivity. Also, pack training as well."

I nod slightly, "We would need to check their strengths first and place them in groups accordingly. Also we'd place more top warriors in charge of groups."

"Yes Alpha, I told Adam to come over after they settled in a bit."

"Sure, I'll be expecting him."

His eyes glaze over for some minutes, he's definitely speaking with someone using the mindlink.

"Alpha, he's on his way here." Aiden states. "Fred is heading here with him."

"I'm not a porcelain doll, you guys." I say with a little smile.

"Even if you're our Alpha, you're also our baby sister. We'll protect you from everything. Left to Fred you shouldn't meet with the scumbag."

I laugh heartily, that was a bit out of character for him. He was always put together and never cursed anyone out.

"I'll be fine I promise, let them come."

A loud knock makes us know they're here.

"Come in," I order, bracing myself.

The door knob twists open and Fred makes his appearance pushing the door open, right behind him comes Adam.

"Good afternoon, Alpha." Fred says, his face doesn't look too happy though.

"Hi, Fred." I answer with a smile. "Please take your seats."

Adam is staring at me with an expression I can't decipher.

"Welcome to our pack, Alpha Adam. I apologize I couldn't officially welcome you earlier, but my Beta came in my stead." I say spearing a glance at Aiden.

His piercing blue eyes peered at me. I give him a hard stare in return, choosing not to back down.

"Is there a problem, Alpha?"

He clears his throat, breaking the awkward silence. "Not at all, Alpha Mellisa. The space you gave us is more than we expected, we are so grateful."

"It's nothing, I will give your pack a week to rest and settle in. Then, all pack members except the sickly and aged will join warrior training. We'll…."

His face contorts in confusion, "Every pack member?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"Wait, even Omegas?"

"Especially Omegas, Alpha Adam. The supposedly 'weak' need protection more."

"As I was saying, we'll place pack members to what they were doing in your pack. For instance, people that were nannies in the Red Crescent will do the same here, except if they want to do something else."

"But aren't Omegas weak to spar?"

"As I was right?" I ask in annoyance.

"Anyways it's not up for discussion, that's how it's going to be." I say in finality.

"We will do a lot of adjusting then. The structures of our pack differ but we will fit in just fine."

"I'm glad to hear that. We wouldn't want especially the young ones to feel like refugees. We want them to experience home, a proper social structure."

His eyes glaze over briefly and it seems like he is speaking through the mindlink.

I continue talking, since I want this meeting to finish as soon as possible.

"Since we have no idea how long the war will take and rebuilding your former home."

I then make a gesture at Aiden, he nods at me in acknowledgement. "I will give you the schedule for our activities so you guys don't miss out."

"Hope we will have no problems. I respect you as Alpha but you're on my land and my rules. Keep that in mind." I say sternly.

"That wouldn't be a prob….."

"Baby, babe!!!" A screechy female voice interrupts him from outside.

Adam takes an exasperated breath and places his palms against his forehead.

She bangs on the door loudly. "Babe, you came to see the Alpha without me."

Wait, that voice sounds familiar. Goodness, you've got to be kidding me.

The door twists open and perfectly manicured feet in heels step in.
