Free Web NovelChapter 255: Chapter 255 Maze’s True Mate
Kiara
I should have known nothing will be easy in this pack, ever. I sigh to myself. Melissa really thought I would keep something so important as me being a fox shifter from my mate? She has always been a slutty dumbass, that clearly hasn’t changed much. I internally roll my eyes. If only she knew that Winter is Maze’s true mate. I am his true mate. It probably wouldn’t make a difference for her. She has always been a bitch, even when we were kids, and she was always the princess of her family who were some of the best warriors for our pack. I almost gag. I heard she is mated to Callan, the Beta. I hope for him it’s not true. She will not be a good Beta female.
I zone back into the conversation when dad says he has some news regarding the current ranking in the pack, and a request for me and Maze, more for Maze at this current time than me because I have not been crowned yet.
"What is going on dad?" I ask him, as Benedict whimpers. Mom hugs him close, sitting him on her lap.
"Well, my old ranked members all decided to retire themselves and give their titles to their young ones. So Callan and his mate are now my Beta couple, while my new gamma is Hector and his mate. Hector is the younger brother, if you remember him?" I search my memory.
"The one who always swore he would never be ranked because it’s not for him and he’d rather be a teacher or something like that?" Dad nods. "How are you doing with that?" He swallows.
"Your mother and I have made a hard decision, baby. We’ve talked it over with each other for some time and then with Benedict." My little brother nods, his head held high, but there are tears in his eyes. "We no longer find ourselves fit to be the Alpha and Luna of White Mountain, but we also do not see anyone here actually be equipped to take over the position and lead the pack to anything good. We have failed. Mostly you, Kiara." My eyes go wide, and Maze grabs my hand.
"What are you saying?"
"We have talked to different packs around us, and old home packs for those who moved for their mates. They are willing to accept people back, and new people into their packs. We want to dismantle White Mountain and move to Silver Moon as regular members. To be close to our daughter and our daughter to have her family close." He gives me a loving look. Maze is quiet for some time. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"What would you need of me, uncle?" Dad sighs.
"We need your permission, and we need you to denounce every ranked member. We don’t want ANY of them to try something in the future." Maze raises an eyebrow.
"Have they done anything..."
"Melissa is the Beta female.." Mom interrupts and Maze growls.
"Done..." He says with a dark expression. Mom gives him a big smile.
"Thought that would get your attention." She chuckles at Maze’s expression and I kiss his cheek. "And we would love to move to Silver Moon if you would allow us? We are already packed and will be following you back home tomorrow or tonight. We don’t want to stay here." A tear slide down her cheek. "We should have done more when you were little Kiara, or acted differently, but we didn’t. We are not going to give a ton of excuses. This is our fault. But people here are awful to us, to each other and favors shift day to day. Some things gotta give at some point, and something is us."
"Alright, we will get back to this, but speaking of something completely off topic; Kiara is going to have her Luna ceremony and coronation tomorrow night under the full moon and we would love to have you there." Maze says, rendering my parents speechless for a moment. It’s Benedict who breaks the silence.
"So, you are going to be a real Queen tomorrow, sissy? Do I have to bow to you then?" I laugh at his innocent question. freewebnoveℓ.com
"No, little brother. You are my family, and you will never have to bow to me or anything. You can call me sissy all your life if you want." I tell him, as he throws himself from moms arms into mine. I kiss his hair.
"Mom says I am not going to be Alpha anymore." He mumbles. I kiss him again, bringing him out into stretched arms.
"One day, Benedict, you will have your own pack to lead. I am sure of it, but right now it is for the best that that pack is not White Mountain." He nods solemnly.
"Are you sure?"
"That you will have a pack one day?" He nods. "Yes, I have no doubt about that. And you will learn about pack life and work from the King. No better teacher than a King." I tell him, turning him to look at Maze who gives us a wide grin.
"I would be honored to teach you the ropes when you are older, Benedict. You have a good head on your shoulders, little man." Benedict gives him the biggest smile.
After that we ask if mom and dad would mind to show us around the pack lands? They do, and Frida and Alastair join us. They are both fuming with anger for some reason. They are hiding it so my parents can’t sense it, but I can. I give Frida a look and she mindlinks me. She’ll fill me in when we are behind closed doors, but it is bad here. I nod, letting Maze know.
As we walk around the pack, pack members refuse to acknowledge me. They bow respectfully to Maze and my parents, but they blatantly ignore me by his side. Maze is getting more and more agitated by the second. I have to hold his hand and remind him to calm down more often than not. My parents try their best to hide their own anger, but people here are so obvious.
At some point we come by the warrior training grounds where Callan and Melissa are running training together. They notice us coming, saying something to the people training, and when we are near enough a smug looking female walks forward.
"I challenge the fox to a duel to the death for the position as Luna and Queen." She says clearly. I only raise an eyebrow looking her over. Callan seems to disagree, but he doesn’t do anything to stop it.
"No you won’t, Aliya." Dad says, but the woman just ignores him.
"Yes, I do. You do not order me old man. I am tired of you and your ’we need to accept trash’ ways. I will challenge the slut once and for all." Melissa laughs. I look at her.
"Why doesn’t Melissa challenge me herself, or she is perhaps coming as challenger number 10 or something so I am tired when she comes up against me?" I look her in the eyes. Maze wraps his arms around me, growing at the female in front of us. Melissa sneers.
"I am not afraid, but I am mated." She says with disgust.
"Never stopped you before. Everyone knows you are the one who has slept with most mated and unmated males in this pack. Even inviting your cronies into bed when you are bored." She screams and shifts, charging against me. I knew that would get to her. I push Maze out of the way, shifting into Winter and dodging the she wolf. It’s time these ignorant fuckers learn who the Queen is. Me.
