THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Derek mind-linked Clem and Shane that he would be following his mate to go to the witch’s house. There was no way he would be letting his mate out of his sight.

“Be careful.” They both said to him through their mind link after her had finished recounting the details of the whole matter to them. Like him, they were skeptical about the witch. Witches were sly and devious. It was in their nature, no matter how good that some of them claim to be.

Walking behind his little witch as they trolled behind the witch down the road, he stopped in his movement as he saw Anthony’s car speeding towards them.

His mother was here. He didn’t know whether he should be happy or glad about that.

The car came to halt beside them.

Anthony and his mother stepped out of the car, from their respective sides.

He saw Anthony widen his eyes as he stared at Emma, and then still his nose the next second. He was sure that his adopted brother was fighting against the sexual intoxicating scent.

His mother just stared between him and his little witch.

“I’m sorry Mom, but…” He was saying through their mind link, when she interrupted him.

“Don’t worry. Ava explained everything to me. We took a longer time coming, because your father was in a conference meeting with the council. I had to wait, since Anthony is among the council members.” She stated.

“But who is she?” She asked, referring to the witch, in front of his little witch, who had stopped walking too as the car came to a halt.

“She is Esther, Margo’s niece.” He replied.

“And what is she doing here, with you guys…” She asked, running her eyes up and down Esther, who was also looking at her.

“Margo is missing. She came to ask Emma about it.” He replied.

Melvina soughed. Margo is missing? How?

She walked then to meet with the trio in front of her, Anthony right behind her.

“Good afternoon Melvina.” Emma greeted her as she came to stand just in front of them, unaware of Esther’s sharp gasp of surprise. Obviously, the latter was surprised that the redhead had called the Luna by her name.

The audacity. She must have thought.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Good afternoon dear.” Melvina replied with a reassuring smile, as she noticed that the redhead was slightly looking down, not wanting her eyes to meet with hers. She knew that the latter thought that she was angry with her concerning her escapade with her son this morning. But she wasn’t in actuality. She hadn’t even been angry for once at her, but at her son whom she had thought should have known better than sleeping with the human.

For that must have been what had triggered this intoxicating scent, even though for the life of her, she didn’t know why the human possessed this particular scent reserved by special hybrids, when she wasn’t one. If she was, she wouldn’t have had that common distinctive human smell. She would have had a wolf smell or the other specie smell of which she belonged to partly.

But she had none, except the human smell.

So, what could this mean?

Ava had also mentioned the strange werewolf with supernatural powers who had paralyzed Maya with just the look of his eyes. The former had also mentioned her son’s powers too.

Both had unsettled her. It meant more trouble and complications. Worse, since none of her pack members had been able to identify the strange werewolf. They didn’t even know his name. The professor had called him away before they could socialize with him.

The professor.

That was another case on its own.

A vampire and a supernatural werewolf from nowhere, all connected and interested in the redheaded human. This was getting out of hand. She was sure that their appearances weren’t a mere coincidence.

“Good afternoon Ma.” She heard the witch girl greet her.

“Good afternoon Esther. What happened to your Aunt?” She asked, going straight to the point, forgetting that her conversation with her son had been through their mind link, unaware that Emma was staring at her skeptically.

But Anthony and Derek were aware of the issue, and they communicated immediately to Melvina, but it was too late. The deed was already done.

This confirmed her theory. Emma thought, as she watched Melvina talk with Esther.

Derek must have mind linked her about the witch, or how else would she know about that.

She could feel stares from Anthony and Derek on her.

‘They must be suspecting that I might query Melvina about her knowing about the matter, or act that suspiciously.’ She thought. Only if they knew that she already knew what they are. Werewolves.

So, she kept mute, and acted like she hadn’t noticed the matter.

“She has been kidnapped. I came home to meet our house in disarray.” Esther said in reply to Melvina’s question. There was no need of bothering to think on how the woman had known her name and about the disappearance of her aunt; she knew that werewolves could communicate telepathically. The alpha boy must have already recapped the incident to his mother.

“Okay. Why coming to meet Emma then?” Melvina asked, thinking that Emma hadn’t recognized the slip in her actions earlier. The latter was just watching her and the witch talk, with a blank face.

“My aunt was supposed to meet with her today by 3pm under that oak tree.” She replied, turning back, and pointing at the oak tree close the cafe.

“Is that so, Emma?” Melvina asked, looking at Emma.

“Yes.” Emma replied.

“And you didn’t think to tell me?? I thought we had promised not to keep things from each other.” Melvina stated, watching as Emma shifted her weight from one leg to the other, her face a bit fallen.

“I’m sorry.” Emma replied, even as she bit her tongue and restrained herself from asking the woman if her wolf nature wasn’t big enough a secret to inform her about.
