Chapter 238: STIRRING STORM

LOVITA ARIA’S POV

Standing by the beach with Ma, I paced around with uncertainty. I regretted challenging Conri Dolf under Ma’s whims, who felt that I was the rightful heir to become the pack’s Alpha.

Shame laced my heart when Conri made me the Beta of the Golden Shifter pack. After anchoring the boat that Ma had bought, I stared out into the ocean.

An hour later, Zeeb Elijah and Anisha Freki arrived with two strangers. Strom my wolf stirred with piqued interest, making me fall into a deep trance of silence. To deflect I drove the boat and decided not to listen in to their conversation until Zeeb introduced them. So the older one was Toten Stone, the HR of Due corporation, and the younger wolf was a new employee who had joined the Due corporation from the Golden Shifter pack John Tharn. I felt uneasy with the two of us accompanying us to the Island and stayed back when everything was being discussed. When Toten opted to drag John Tharn to assess the pearl farm, I remained behind until Storm roared and complained. I had no choice but to get out of the house and follow them closely.

I watched the two interact as Toten teased John Tharn and he seemed uncomfortable and stayed back. I could tell That Toten realized that I was following them by the fact that he turned around and stood in waiting. I slowed my steps and he raised his hand and yelled " Hurry up"

I watched the way John Tharn took advantage of the opportunity and rushed ahead escaping from Toten. When I got to the spot where he stood I raised one eyebrow and said " Why do you keep teasing him ?"

" Because it’s fun " He shrugged his shoulders. We stood staring at the sea and then Toten whispered " Why the fuck is my wolf whining when I am next to you?"

I chuckled and said, " I wondered why Storm was restless." I turned and stared down at him. He was just inches shorter than me and it made my wolf happy to be near him.

" The fucking Golden shifter pack will have a fit if they discover that our wolves are mates" Toten closed his eyes in frustration.

" Mates? " the words were out of my mouth in shock. " The three of us?"

" That is even more scandalous. He is a flirt and a young pup. What the hell are the moon gods thinking ?" Toten cursed and his eyes snapped open.

" My mother is going to hit the roof" I burst out laughing and Toten joined in. We all watched as John Tharn rubbed his head in frustration and cursed.

" I have a feeling he is going to collapse in shock, " Toten added.

" I am glad you are not awkward about this" I whispered and looked away.

" What can I fucking do? " He demanded.

" Reject me " I turned to him and bore my eyes down at him.

" It would make my wolf suffer and that is not fair. Totan heaved a sigh.

" It’s getting late. We better get back to the mainland " I turned around and walked away. In the distance, I heard Toten yell at John Tharn " Your ass better follow me asap"

The ride back to the mainland was a quiet one as Mama chatted with Zeeb and Elijah while Toten and John Tharn remained silent. Once we got off the boat, Toten winked at me as they left and Mama and I walked home.

Hours later, I stood by the beach, barefoot staring out into the sea.

" You seemed so quiet today, it was so unlike you " Mama’s voice reached my ears.

" What " I turned around as she walked over to stand beside me.

" What is bothering you, son?" Ma asked with keen interest.

" Ever since we came back to Chugach, I have not had a moment of peace. I know that it’s right to come back home and settle. Even more sore, after challenging Conri Dolf he still felt that I needed to be part of the Golden shifter pack. "

" That is true. At first, I felt uneasy but not anymore. I am surprised that your Pa left the land to me. I never needed it and all I ever wanted was for him to acknowledge us. But the years apart healed my heart and came back to find good and kind-hearted people in the Golden Shifter pack. And being appointed to the KODA council was the final step that has healed my heart. I am glad to be back home." Mama confessed.

" They have good hearts and it matches yours, Mama. I know you felt lost all these years but now that we are home, I feel my wolf being happy but I can’t help but feel the sense of fear from the Wolfe Bonde that we have with Lobo and Zineb. Taking the warning that old man Cyryus gave us, I even feel chills down my spine"

" But that is not the root of your worry "Mama’s eyes bore at me.

I looked away and said " I am not ready to talk about it, Mama"

" Fine. I will leave you to it " She turned to leave

" I am not keeping secrets from you. I am just not sure about it and wanted to confirm " I whispered.

" I know Lovita. You are a good child" Mama raised her hand and patted my cheek " I am here if you need me" And with those words, she walked back to the house.

I turned to stare at the sea and decided to go for a walk. I went back to the house, changed my clothes, put on a hooded jacket, and left. I walked around the roads in my house and then picked up a job and ran. I ran for hours until I got to the edge of the road that led to the town. I stood staring at the lights that lit up Chugach and closed my eyes to breathe in the cold mountain air.

The scent of Toten hit my nostrils even before I saw him and heard his voice " Why the fuck are you wandering alone in the night like a thief?"

I turned around and found him leaning on a tree next to the road. He wore a brown jacket and from the look of it, he had gone for a run. His voice sounded out of breath and Storm pushed the words through " He came to find us"

" I was waiting for you" I stared at him and taunted him to deny the fact that he came to me with my words.

He looked away and said " Stone my wolf is so restless. I could not sleep and just wanted to run in your direction. It’s crazy"

His words sounded like music to my ears as I walked over to stand next to him. " Crazy doesn’t even come close to what I am feeling " I rasped at him.

He turned his head towards me and we stared at each other, I could tell he was fighting to control his mind and body. I attempted to step back to give him space to decide but his hands snaked into mine and he laced my fingers with mine.

" I don’t need you to give me space" He muttered.

" What do you need ?" I whispered and lowered my head until our mouths were close to each other and I could feel his hot breath lace my lips.

" I have no idea but right now my wolf is calm" He tilted his head and the words made my body shudder. I nodded and then my hand went around his waist and I pulled him close.

" Is this better?:" I whispered back to him and he nodded as his eyes shut slowly and his mouth slightly opened.

" Yes," The words escaped his mouth and like a brute, I leaned down and kissed him. I pushed his mouth open and put all the passion that I felt into it and Toten moaned into my mouth. The sounds drove me crazy and I pulled his body up, pressing him deeper into me. I had no idea how long we stood like that and when we came up for air, it was already snowing.

"How will you get home?" I asked him.

" The same way I came. Run back" He laughed.

" Mmmh" I nodded.

" Tomorrow, come to the office, we need to deal with our little wolf. " Toten turned to leave.

" I have a feeling he is going to fight back," Toten chuckled.

" I hope so. No one would accept having two mates, especially one that the pack is worried about" I responded.

" Oh darling, self-pity is not your style" Toten stated before he disappeared into the woods.

" He is beautiful and outspoken" I heard Storm push the words through our mind link.

" He is. He drew us out of the house to meet him. I feel so enthralled by him. I can’t wait to be with them tomorrow. I have a feeling that coming back to Chugach is going to change my life greatly." I responded as I walked back to the house.
