Walter's POV
The school day finally ended, and I was beyond thrilled. I found my mate before my boring old brother. I absolutely could not wait until I broke the news to father. I wonder if she would be accepting to the fact that my family and I are werewolves. I'll think about that later.
The driver and I both heard the sound of something colliding with the car window. I saw the driver set the car into a different gear and he asked me to buckle my seat belt and I did. He pressed on the gas, and something heavier hit the side of the car and I saw a big grey wolf pacing outside my window to our right.
"Constantine sent a wolf…" I whispered to myself and felt the need to get out of the car and rip its head off, but the driver locks the doors.
Bang!
Tension was rising in the air as my heart began to pump faster and faster when I noticed another wolf at the other side of the car. This was a slightly smaller wolf, but I knew who it was. That wolf was Miranda's sister, and I felt my heart race when I remember what happened that night.
"No need to worry, Sir. Parameters are secure and we should be able to get into the castle with no problem. Just keep yourself calm." The driver assures me, and I look at myself in the rear-view mirror and saw my eyes glowing green and I try to calm my wolf down. Deep breaths one two three.
The driver then put in a lot more gas and I saw the Castle gates fling open. A couple of guards surged out and fought off the wolves that were sent by Constantine. We raced into the house and the car came to an abrupt stop. I rip the seatbelt off and transform into my wolf to go and help out with the fight, but I see my father shaking his head at me and I immediately transform back and rush into the castle instead. I bumped into my darling older brother.
I shove him away and ran up to my room. I could not stand being around him. He made my blood boil. I took in a few deep breaths before I opened the door to my room. Once I felt that I was calm enough. I opened the door and threw myself on the bed. After I felt like I was calmer I walked over to the shower and notice my eye colour begin to fade back to their original state.
Night Walker Pack and our pack used to live in harmony but after I killed the pack's Luna, Miranda. It all went south. The aggravating thing about this situation is that I do not recall doing such a thing. But Constantine is adamant. He keeps sending death threats to our pack and we have reasons to believe that he'll wage a war soon enough.
I hear a light knock on my bathroom door and one of the female works inform me that it was time for dinner. I rinse my face with cold water and go downstairs to the dining hall. I see my father sitting at the head of the table and my older brother right beside him. I run my fingers through my hair and let my eyes stare at my brother. I thoroughly wash my hands and take a seat.
Someone serves my food and I we start eating. The silence sat with us as if it were invited. And I might as well break the news about.
"Father, I think now would be a good time-
"I found my mate!" I talk over my brother, cutting him off completely and my dad smiles at me.
"What do you mean you found your mate? That's impossible, I should have found my mate before you!" He begins to whine, and I roll my eyes.
"Oh, to hell with that son. Walter found his mate!" My father celebrates by bringing his glass up and clinks mine with his. He looks around gingerly and I look at him a little confused.
"Where is she? C'mon dear. Don't be shy…" he says again laughing and I just laugh along with him.
"I actually did not bring her along with me yet," I set my fork down after playing with my food on the table and look at my father and brother anxiously.
My father so happens to mirror my expression, all my brother did was keep that constipated look on his face and father crossed his heavily ringed fingers in front of his face.
"She's human…" I announce in a low tone but all I am awarded with is silence, I rest my arms on my thighs feeling nerves. I clear my throat. "She's perfect, Father. Her name is Sloane…" I say again, observing them both, My father deep in thought and my brother… I wouldn't know how to describe what he looked like.
"Your great grandmother was human." My father says, but he wasn't looking at me.
"That is absolutely ridiculous. Humans are weak. If you're going to make a joke. Make sure it's a funny one." My brother responds and our father just nods his head slowly.
"Well, I'd like to meet our future Queen, Walter. Bring her in whenever-
"What-do-you-mean-Queen?" My darling brother rushed through his words, his eyes about to fall out of his head.
"I may be old, and bad at telling jokes. But anyone will tell you that if there is more than one boy in a royal bloodline, the one that finds a mate first must wear the crown." Father announces, gingerly getting up from his chair and grabbing his glass of whiskey.
"But I am older!" My brother slammed his fist against the table, my glass of wine fell and shattered on the ground, and I flinch off the chair when some wine spilt on me.
"What the fuck man?!" I curse at him.
"Father, do you not hear me Walter can-
"Enough!" Father yelled at the top of his voice and even though my brother was stubborn and wanted to talk his way out of a situation, his wolf along with mine whimpered at the exuberant power that rolled off our father.
"I will not hear another word from your mouth boy! Just accept that your brother got his mate before you and there is no fighting the Sacred law. Either you're with us or against us. Do you understand me boy?!" Father yelled at him, and I will admit that I felt a tad bit sorry. Heck! I don't even know how to lead a pack. He clearly deserves this more than I do.
"Father, what if I relapse - he clearly knows how to run t-things around here, which is quite obvious." I try to fend for him, and his face was in a slightly shocked state.
"I heard the door slightly creak and I saw my brother attend to whoever walked in, but my attention was brought back to my father when he began to speak.
"Unless your brother finds his mate before the next full moon. You'll be crowned King and Alpha of this pack on that day and Sloane your Queen." He says. My brother returns from wherever he was...
