“You keep missing each other, but you haven’t marked and mated her yet,” he said. “I know what it is like as an alpha to be without your mate at times when the pack takes over. It makes you go insane.”
I stared at him, but my father moved from his chair that he was sitting on and walked over to me. He placed his hand on my shoulder and looked at me. “Tim and I will sort the rest of this out,” he said, looking over at the table at the documents we were going through. “I’m still the alpha of this pack.”
I nodded.
My father looked at me and sighed. “Lex,” he said. “To be an alpha, you need your Luna with you. You need Roxie.”
To right, I thought as I agreed with him.
Blaze moved closer and looked through my eyes, looking at my father. “Papa Wolf knows what we need,” he murmured. “I want mate, and I know you want her too.”
I sighed.
“Can I leave now?” I asked.
My father nodded.
“Tim has told her to meet him at the house,” he said, smirking. “But he won’t be there; you will be there instead.”
I could feel the excitement go through my body.
Seeing Roxie and actually getting to speak to her was making it all worth more.
I need to do something for her.
I looked at my father and frowned.
My father chuckled.
“What’s the face for?” he asked.
“I want to do something for her,” I said. “We haven’t exactly had a date. I want to make it more of a date. I can tell her all about moving into the house and more.”
My father stared at me, and a grin crept onto his l!ps. “I have an idea,” he muttered. “Mind link Jason to keep Roxie busy, and you make your way to the house. Tim will help you. I hope we have enough time to pull something off.”
I nodded.
My father went blank while I opened a mind link to Jason. “Hey dude,” I called out. “Can you do me a favor for the afternoon?”
“Hey,” he said. “What do you have in mind?”
“Well, I need you to spend some time with your sister,” I said.
I could hear a groan slip through the mind link, making me smile.
“Dude, I didn’t need to know that,” he said.
“It’s not like that,” I said. “I want to set a date, as we haven’t seen each other since we returned from Alpha Trevor’s pack. We have both been busy with the new pack members. All I need from you is to keep Roxie busy for the afternoon till I am ready. I will mind link when I am, and you can bring her to the house.”
There was silence, but a low sigh slipped through. “I guess,” he said. “I know I need to talk to Roxie, she had wanted to talk to me before you went there, but since you all came back, she has been busy.”
“Well,” I said. “You need to open up to her, and you never know; she may open up to you about things too.”
I felt a little jealous as he was spending time with her, but I needed his help, but I also knew he needed to talk to her.
Jason didn’t tell me what happened to Sofia and him, but I heard he is on a s*x ban until she is ready; she even moved into a room with one of the omegas while he stayed at the pack house. He avoided me for the first time; he saw me.
We briefly talked when I saw him in the kitchen the next day.
It was hard to hear what he had to say, but I don’t blame Sofia. Jason was a manwhore back then; he never thought about the consequences of his actions; she just needed some space.
“I will go to the training ground and see her now,” he said, pulling me from my thoughts.
“Thanks, dude,” I said, closing the mind link down.
I looked back at my father, who was staring at me.
“Is he okay to talk to Roxie?” he asked.
I nodded.
“That’s good,” he said. “Tim was worried he was avoiding her, as he wouldn’t talk to her.”
I didn’t say anything.
“What about Tim?” I asked. “Is he okay with me coming over?”
My father looked at me and smiled. “He knows and knows what to do,” he said.
I smiled.
I let out a sigh, knowing I was leaving the office for the first time in three days, which was something to look forward to, and knowing I would be seeing Roxie was making it even more thrilling.
I said goodbye to my father, but he called out before I left and had my hand on the door handle. “Mark and mate her, Lex,” he said.
I looked at him and smirked.
“I want some grandchildren,” he said. “Tim and I want little ones to spend time with.”
I laughed and opened the door.
I walked out of the office and headed out of the pack house.
I walked in the direction of Roxie and Tim’s home. Well, technically, it will be Roxie and mine for the time being.
Having a home away from the pack house will benefit us. Besides, the house is big enough for loads of children.
I could feel Blaze move closer as I walked.
“I want mate,” he murmured.
“I know,” I said and looked back at him. “We will have mate tonight,” I said. “Let’s come up with a date and see what happens.”
Blaze nodded with his tongue hanging out.
I knew what he was thinking, but I needed to keep a clear head as I couldn’t walk around with a hard-on.
Tim’s house came into view, and Tim was outside with Keith.
Both of them looked at me and smiled.
As I came closer, Tim spoke. “Keith is picking up some bits,” he said with a smile. “When he returns, we will set a mood in the house and cook some food for you both.”
I nodded, liking the idea.
“What do we do when Keith has gone?” I asked, feeling slightly confused.
Tim smiled.
“We can discuss what you can tell Roxie about making this home yours,” he said.
I stared at him.
“How do you feel about that?” I asked.
Tim looked at me for a few moments but let out a sigh. “Roxie’s right before she went to stay with you,” he said. “I need to move forward, and moving into the pack house will be the new forward for me. Your father and I are single men; we must learn to be on our own.”
I smiled.
“I always kept Roxie as my little girl,” he said, looking at me with a smirk. “I’m handing the touch to you now, and all I can say is good luck.”
“I second that,” Keith said as he climbed into his truck.
I stared at Tim, who was now chuckling.
I didn’t know whether to be excited or slightly worried by that statement.
ROXIE
It has been the longest three days of my life.
I have been busy helping the new pack members fit into the pack.
I knew Lex was busy with whatever he found in Alpha Trevor’s pack house. I didn’t want anything to do with it. All my concerns were about the people affected by him, and the first one was Malia.
Malia came back to the pack with us. Alpha Gareth had contacted her father, who turned up before she arrived. He looked heartbroken but also relieved to have her back.
It was nice to watch them interact, even though Malia found it hard for her father to touch her. They left an hour after Lex told her father what they had seen. I didn’t stay around to hear the rest, but he wanted some of the information.
Once Malia left, we had the pack doctor give all the new pack members a check-up, and we learned we needed more help, but it turned out that everyone did.
We had to ask Alpha Gareth and Alpha Dean to help by sending their doctors to help with the check-ups.
We were given some specialist therapists to help with some of the trauma that most of the women and children suffered.
