Fate

Part 4.

When I get back to the mansion Eric is there waiting for me. "Dimitri I thought you were just going for a pint?"

I smile a little at his mother hen personality. "Don't worry my friend. It was a good reason this time." I say as a turn to him.

"Please don't tell me you got-" He stops after he notices my eyes.

"Брат. Вы нашли ее."

"Да." His eyes start to water. Then he does something that surprises me in all of my 996 years of knowing him. He hugged me.

"Эрик?" I slowly wrap my hands around his shoulders. Which is easy for me since he is 5'9.

"Я в порядке." He pulls away and wipes his eyes, collecting himself. "На что она похожа?"

"That is the hard part." I say switching back to English.

"What is hard, my friend? Is she ugly?" We both laugh at his joke.

"No. She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She is a werewolf."

"Oh? Non friendly I'm guessing."

"No. Not friendly at all." I lick my lips at the memory of her.

"That doesn't seem to bother you."

I flash him a smile. "No. Her friend said that her father died in the rouge attack 20 years ago."

"Oh yes the war of night. That is why the Shade Clan moved from this house. The old Alpha blamed him for the rouge attack. Though it was proven false he still did not fully trust them again."

I nod. This is all good information for me. If I need to visit my beloved I would need the Alpha's permission.

"I feel like taking an early day tomorrow." I turn to Eric. "How does Kestrel feel about a trip to the city?"

Eric smirks. "You know she is always up for shopping."

"I just don't understand why you didn't except him."

"Forget about it Chloe."

"No I won't. You know how important mates are. You said you couldn't wait to meet yours so I don't know why you wouldn't except him."

"He is a Vampire."

"So? What is that supposed to mean?"

I turn and look at her. We are outside. I am running drills for the pups and she just came out here on a mission to get me to talk.

"What I said. He is a Vampire. End of story."

"So you are telling me because he is not a wolf you won't except him?" She folds her arms over her chest. Trying to stare me down.

I raise a brow. "No I didn't not say that. It is because he is a Vampire."

"And what's wrong with them?"

"Nothing you need to worry about."

"Is this about your dad?"

"Leave it alone."

"Oh come on. You Dad died in a war 20 years ago. Yes it's sad but you don't know if he had anything to do with it."

"I said LEAVE IT ALONE." I snap at her. The pups stop what they are doing and turn towards us.

She snaps her head to the side in submission. "Yes madam Gamma."

I growl in frustration. "Train is over." I walk off before I get a response.
