Spellbound Mate

Althea’s POV. We were driving home when Aunt Dee says “you owned him! Oh my Goddess when you lit into Sydney with your little please officer voice, I couldn’t look at anyone because I knew I would lose it! Then Roman yelled at her about having a plastic nose when she was a wolf….oh my Goddess priceless!” I was laughing so hard again. Then I sobered up and said He wants to try Aunt Dee. What if he decides he doesn’t want me again? She said “oh honey! That’s not how it works. Once you accept the bond, it only grows. You will see, my sweet girl!” They reached home and I darted inside to fix some chicken fajitas for dinner and I poured my aunt some wine. Then I called her down to eat. After dinner. I talked Aunt Dee into sitting for me to paint or the third bottle of wine convinced her..either way.. we were laughing and talking when all of a sudden there was a pounding on their front door and a loud, angry voice yelling to open up. I turnes to Dee and said wait here..and trotted down the stairs and stood on tippy toes to see…. Ah Fuck! I yelled up to my aunt it’s just Barbie and come on down. I yelled go away. I tried linking Roman but I was either too far or he has his wall up. We sat down on the sofa and turned the TV on and again pounding! I yelled stop! And then go away! Next she started with the insults. I was a seductress who stole her man. I was a slut who slept with the whole town, apparently..no small feat for only being here three days. I was a useless witch who should be burned at the stake..yeah..like that would work with a fire witch..but when she started denigrating my aunt and then my mother….all bets were off! I yanked our door open and shoved her off the porch and landed beside her. I shoved her again and I said what the fuck’s your problem? What in the fuck did I ever do to you? She screamed “You are a filthy piece of trash! A witch..a disgusting excuse of flesh. Why don’t you just die you bitch!” I glanced at Dee and said call Roman and tell him to come pick up his trash because I’m about to fuck a bitch up. She tried to punch me and I ducked under it and kicked her in the ribs. She rolled out of it and charged at me. I throat punched her and threw her over my back to the ground and kicked her in the spine. Just as I grabbed her hair and pulled her hair back so she could see my eyes..I notice the guys walk out of the tree line..and I said the next time you try to run with the big dogs….just don’t! And don’t fucking get it twisted like you did with Roman…Call me Bitch like you mean it! I dragged her over and tossed her at their feet said take your trash out. And walked in the house to shower. Gross ass skank juice touching me..I shivered. I walked downstairs and toward the kitchen and I hear hushed voices. I rounded the corner and hear Caleb say”and her stepmother is really his mate” and I said What the fuck? Are you telling me this was all a setup? Those two fucktwats set my dad up and murdered him? They moved into our house and she married and fucked my father..at least I think they did..they slept in the same room..they probably did..I hear my aunt say “she’s processing. You’ll get used to it. Told you she is too smart! She took the end of that statement and ran with it and came up with exactly the right story. Right now she is processing her dad having sex. It’s alot! He hasn’t been gone five days until midnight..and it hasn’t hit her yet” I ran back into the kitchen and said Aunt Dee..I need one of those burner phones. I need to call Neil she says “who what now? Who’s Neil?” My tae kwon do instructor. Roman.. I know we are new mates..but I accept you Roman Baronne as my mate. He blinks at me and says I accept you Althea Gold as my mate and I took a huge leap of faith and said I’m the red wolf..my father was one before me. Every generation only one is born..always an Alpha and not always to a red wolf..but there is only one because when the Alpha mantle falls on a red wolf’s shoulders the wolf is beastly. Huge and can go berserk. Don’t look at me like that! You think my dad was an idiot? He trained Auburn and me as soon as she spoke to me at 4 years old. We are one. I control her as much as she controls me. I said watch and I let Auburn in…except she’s friskier than me and she held me back as she walked to Roman and jumped up on the counter and jerked him to her and kissed him like the world was about to end. I wanted to cry she took my first kiss. Roman said “Hello Auburn and we watched as Ambrose pushed forward and kissed her..backing off he said I thought only I could bring their wolf forward. But you called him” Auburn said “yes. I did. But you can do it because you were fated to me. I have to go now. I made Althea sad. He asked how she did that and she said I took her first kiss. Caleb said “that was the coolest shit I have ever seen!” Everybody laughed! Once I was back I said let’s go to Walmart. I really want to make that call tonight. Shit! Aunt Dee? We need to find accommodation for at least 200 people. I’m bringing my pack home. Once a rogue…always a murderer. That son of a bitch will rue the day he messed with the Golds!! Dee said “Roman my keys are hanging by the door…I don’t want her driving like this.” They’re driving and he says you definitely ‘fucked a bitch up’”” trying to get her mind off everything.. she looked at him and said “She’s lucky I didn’t rip her throat out. I was going to when I yanked her head back. I have to find someplace for my pack” He said hear me out.. We are mates. My pack is your pack. I would like to think your pack is my pack. We can accommodate them..we have room. And you are my Luna…so…it’s something to think about.” She threw her arms around him and said thank you. Then she said something that shocked him. “My father came to my dreams the night he was killed and told me GoldMoon was no more unless I had a second son that wanted to rebuild it. The property will always belong to a Gold. Michael can do nothing with it. He may have changed his name but he isn’t a Gold. And everything that runs GoldMoon can only be accessed by blood DNA.. right down to transferring a property deed. Every dime…every jewel..every piece of property can only be accessed by Gold blood. He also told me I would meet my mate and to be patient…. Because he would see me eventually. Let’s get that phone. Once back in the car..she tells Roman they can’t mate until after her birthday because they will never reach their full strength without her mantle. He just nodded. Then he said, “Sydney has four broken ribs..a fractured spine and she can’t talk because of an esophageal tear” Then he laughed. She just shrugged.

Back home she said she was calling Neil and would have it on speaker. It rang..twice…
