Maloras humphed " call me, when you are at your last leg of mission and things could not be moved further without me". Suddenly, in a few seconds Maloras disappeared from their sight. Though it surprised other elders, Zach and his family knew very well that their grandfather had some magic within him but never the reason where it came from and why it was not passed to his son and grandchildren.
Rudolf clapped his hand " now that all official matters are over, let's start the Annual Natural festival. There we can officially introduce Eva and have her meet us. Zach smiled, thinking of his mate, he smiles mischievously at his parents " I should get going, I need to give comfort to my mate. She must be nervous meeting you old souls".
Rudolf growled being called old was an injury on his self esteem, Martha elbowed him " don't fight with your son,now he already has a mate. I think you should retire and prove to your wife, how young you are". Rudolf snaked his hand on her waist making her sit on the conference table, as blush covered her cheek. She saw that the room was empty so fast.
When elders heard their supreme alpha being romantic with Martha, they silently left them alone. Outside the door moan filled the room. As wolves it was very normal to have high sexual drive, even though they were together since 900 years and being a true mate the spark never seized between them.
Seeing that it was almost evening Zach quickly dashed to his mate but before that Marcus told Zach something which made him grin, In mere two minutes Zach stood outside the door. Eva as if sensing his presence opened it, before he could knock on it. Zach looked at Eva wearing a floral summer dress and her hair braided with such a finesse that looked like a crown on her, Crystal earings shone in her ears, matching the necklace on her neck
Making an angry face he snarled " how can you, how can you...". Eva suddenly became nervous and agitated. She started rechecking herself if she did anything wrong. Her eyes became teary, Zach who was about to surprise his mate, suddenly panicked seeing her on the verge of crying, his wolf was already jumping inside his head cursing him for this stupid joke.
Trying to assuage her he smiled sweetly " I mean baby, how can be more beautiful than goddess Celene herself, people will faint seeing you this beautiful. Even the moon will shy away seeing this gorgeous face. You are a true goddess darling". This was said while Zach was standing on his knees in front of her. Eva sniffled " you snarled at me, your nose flared, you are lying. You must have found me ugly".
Zach shook his head just like a puppy appeasing his master , which unknown to him made him super cute. Eva turned her head " you were officially gonna make me meet your parents, you didn't even tell me yourself and made Megan prepare me for it, I don't even have gift for them. What if they reject me for being stupid and ugly".
Zach held her hand " sweetheart, you were sleeping so peacefully I did not dare to disturb you and as for those gifts you are wrong it's not daughter in law's duty to prepare them , but for her mother in law's as they should give lots of precious things to you, for taking this trouble like me away from them. Baby I am a scoundrel, bad boy I should light joss stick to God for giving you to me, before I became mad longing for you, they will love you. I promise you. And never call yourself ugly and stupid, you are an angel of God descended this planet just for me".
Eva melted like a puddle listening to his expression of love. She already knew Zach was gonna be pretend angry, this was surprisingly Megan's plan, because her husband told Zach to do this and to make the situation complete Megan's poor husband told this to his wife which later planned with Eva to make the man sorry for using this trick on her.
Eva was also genuinely crying after seeing remorse on his face, she started kissing his cheek, lips eyes, to appease him in any way possible.
Though Patricia grumbled that " show was over so soon", her cheek were red in anticipation when she will find her mate.They left for the Annual natural festival, Eva met Rudolf and red cheeked Martha. Zach gave wolfish grin to his father while showing thumbs up, but it was sadly seen by Martha who used stick to run after her son.
After everything settled Rat and Mouse followed behind Zach and Eva as their vanguard. Eva first profusely thanked them for their help in the forest against the original. She gushed over Rat who killed an original so bravely. Zach though had grumpy face, he wanted to pummel his friends face into pulp and his wolf was raging mad in his mind.
Suddenly Zach saw a group of single ladies near water stall. He turned to Rat and Mouse and commanded them to bring water for him. Though they suspected some trickery because for bringing water they didn't need two of them together. But unable to resist his command they went to do the task.
Suddenly to their dread a bunch of ladies surrounded them, initially they always targeted Zach but as he found his mate the target turned out to be his beta and gamma.
As the program continued, suddenly a murmur started circulating, that Eva was the cure for their children's absence of Lycan gene and she was the blessings for the clan.
Zach found this weird that such rumour spread so fast, but it was not malicious and it was somewhat true he didn't do anything to reject them. Suddenly they were stopped regularly by woman, specially pregnant woman. Most of them trying to touch Eva to gain the blessing. They were so desperate for Lycan gene that they were ready to believe any superstition.
