School has just ended and Erick was walking to his car with Amber beside him. Seeing that Hamish hadn't returned yet, Erick thought that he would just send his things when they have their shifter training later.
After dropping Amber off at her house, he went straight to his home.
He quickly parked his car and went to grab all of his items from the back seat of the car, where he had tossed them earlier. He turned around and saw that the lights were off at Hamish's house and assumed that the Beta was probably working late again and that his wife was at their house.
Whenever Fergus works late, Mary usually goes over to their house to spend time with Luella, so that she would not be lonely.
Entering his house, he tossed his backpack on the floor before hanging up his coat. He then turned to where the living room was and was surprised to see many people inside. Other than his mother and Mary, there were also Hamish and an unfamiliar woman, sitting next to him.
When the woman saw Erick walking into the living room, she immediately stood up and gave him a low bow. "Good evening, Lycan prince."
Both Luella and Mary were surprised. Although they knew what had happened during that incident, they do not know much or fully. They only know bits of it from what they know from their husbands and other shifters who were involved in it.
But what they did not know was that Erick… or rather, Dane was the Lycan prince.
So, they were incredibly surprised to see the granddaughter of the Cairin Alpha bowing down to Erick.
Erick's eyes widened in surprise as he quickly rushed over to her, telling her that it's fine. But before he could reach her, he could feel a glare digging at him. He looked up and saw Hamish glaring ferociously at him.
He inwardly sighed and took a step back from her, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. He then said to Makena, who was still looking in awe and confusion, "No need to greet me like that. It's my wolf that's the Lycan prince, not me. And it's a bit weird to have someone older than me to bow down to me."
Hamish immediately stood in front of Erick. "Who are you calling, 'old'?" he demanded angrily.
Erick's eyes widened in surprise once more as he held up his hands. "No one," he quickly said.
Makena looked confused as she looked at Hamish then at Erick and back again.
Luella chuckled. "Now, now, calm down, you two," she said. She then turned to Erick and said, "You've done a terrible thing, son."
Erick looked confused as he sat down on an armchair, next to the couple (Hamish and Makena). "What did I do?" he asked.
Mary laughed lightly while Luella said, "You shouldn't say the word 'old' to a lady. It's rude."
Erick turned to look at Makena, who looked back at him with a small smile, ignoring the growling teenager beside her and back again. "I see," he said, understanding. He turned back to Makena and apologized.
Makena just shook her head, brushing away his apologies.
"So, you're really Hamish's mate?" Erick asked curiously.
Makena nodded happily as she reached out for Hamish's hand and gripped it tightly.
Erick could see happiness bubbling inside Hamish as he let out a rare smile.
Mary clapped her hands together happily as well, looking at her son and mate. "Such a happy event! You've finally found your mate, son!" she gushed.
Hamish nodded, still smiling.
"Will you be staying in town?" Luella asked.
Makena nodded again. "Yes!" she said. "My grandfather had given me permission to stay and be acquainted with my mate for a while." she then looked at the two women in front of her and said again, with a bit of hesitation in her voice, "Is that alright?"
Mary turned to Luella, who nodded. "Of course, it will be fine," she said. "But you'll be staying here for the days you're here."
Hamish immediately stood up. "But why?" he demanded. "We also have some extra rooms in our house! She could stay there!"
Luella kept quiet while Mary quickly admonished him for his rudeness. "Hamish!"
Hamish quietly sat back down. Makena rubbed his back, calming him down.
"It's not that I want to separate the two of you," Luella explained. "But Hamish is still young. And although you two are already known to be mated to each other, we'll wait for Hamish to graduate from high school."
She turned to her son and said, "It's the same for you too, Erick."
Erick just nodded.
"How old are you now, Makena?" Luella asked.
"I'm twenty this year," she mumbled softly.
"Just two years apart," Mary nodded.
Hamish quickly grabbed both of her hands and rubbed them together. "It doesn't matter. What matters the most is that you're my mate."
Makena smiled brilliantly at his answer.
Erick pretended to gag after listening to Hamish's answer.
The two mothers just smiled, gushing with happiness.
Erick then stood up and said to Hamish, "Training has been continued. We'd better get ready."
"Latham will still be training you all?" Luella asked.
Erick nodded.
Mary then turned to Makena and asked, "Why don't you join them? You can get a glimpse of how we train and do around here."
Makena nodded happily.
It was late in the evening and every young shifter was gathered around at the field where they first trained.
Erick was there, together with Hamish, who stood beside him. Even Makena was there, though she stood far from there at the side. She thought that since she was not part of the pack, she shouldn't intrude on the training and just watch.
While waiting for their instructor, the young shifters were talking amongst themselves. Some were whispering as they kept glancing at Hamish's mate who just stood there, waiting quietly. The whispers became more excited as they watched the usually-cold young shifter walk over to his mate and lovingly brushed a strand of her auburn hair off her shoulders.
Erick, who was watching them, rolled his eyes. He then let out a sad sigh, suddenly missing his mate.
Just then, Latham had just arrived, together with his brother, Noaz. The eldest triplet had his amputated hand in a sling and although it was still amputated, Erick could tell it was slowly growing as he could also tell that the fingers were slowly growing inside the wrapping.
He turned to Makena and thought how amazing her blood was. It was no wonder she had been captured for it. He then looked down at his body.
Suddenly, Dane voiced out in his mind, saying, 'You don't have to think much. Your blood is more powerful than hers. Just that it's hard to make sure of yours since they can only get the pure lycan blood when you're shifted to me.'
It was then Erick understood. Makena's blood was easily extracted and made use of because she has the lycan blood, as in the Cairin pack was descended from the lycan. But then they have a mixed breed, hence it wasn't as pure. As for Erick, although their packs were also descended from the lycan, it wasn't as strong as the Cairin nor the Cesaro pack. But he has the lycan prince as his wolf soul so the only way to extract a pure lycan blood was only when Erick becomes Dane.
"Let's queue up in straight lines!" Latham shouted as he stood in front of the young shifters.
Hamish immediately went behind Erick as they lined up.
"We'll be doing a combat practice," Latham said. "I'd like to see whether you all have improved and did not slack on your training."
He then ended by saying, "In your human forms."
He instantly divided the young shifters in a group, with the help of Noaz. It was then he noticed Makena standing behind them, watching them curiously. He then approached the young woman.
"Hello there," Latham greeted. "Aren't you Alpha Isaiah's granddaughter?"
Makena looked up with a surprised look on her face. "Ah, yes, yes, I am," she stammered. "I'm just watching. I hope I didn't disturb you all."
Latham chuckled. "Not at all," he said, waving away her concerns. He then gave her a small bow of gratitude. "The other day I didn't get the chance to personally thank you for the blood," he said as he raised his amputated hand. "Although it's not there yet, it's healing well now."
Makena put her hands together, feeling relieved. She peered at his hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Latham shrugged. "Just like a pinch here and there. Stings here and there but otherwise, it's not that bad," he answered simply.
Recalling how she was watching the others about to go training, he asked her whether she wanted to join or not.
Makena's eyes widened. She quickly shook her head, shaking her hands in front of her. "I wouldn't dare to intrude," she stammered.
Latham shook his head. "Nah, you won't. Come and join us. You'll have fun."
With that last few words, he went off to where the other young shifters were waiting.
Makena looked at where Hamish and the others were talking among themselves, "Maybe I should give it a try…" she murmured softly.
