A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 134

"The answer is thirty," Zion answered the home tutor who currently taught him maths.

"Very good," she beamed at him.

His gaze drifted to the door, and they met Zera's. His eyes grew wide in disbelief and he ran off his feet and towards her, abandoning the lesson.

"Mommy!" he called out in excitement and joy, his hands spread out for a hug.

Zera dropped to her knee and scooped him into her arms. Holding him in her arms was a thing of joy and the warmth was unlike none other. "Baby."

"I missed you, mommy," he said, patting her shoulders with his little hands.

It had taken over three hours to get back home and all the way home; the drive was done in silence. None of the three in the car wanted to break the silence. Zera would have preferred to get down and run all the way home, but after the event of the day, she just wanted this peace.

She didn't place her mind on any of that, but on the very thought of seeing Zion. It warmed her heart and made it beat steadily. She had wanted his arms around her and now that she had it, her joy was complete.

"I missed you too, my boy." she kissed his hair and pulled back to cup his face in her hand. "hope you've been good?"

He bobbed his head, "Yes. Daddy said he would bring you home, and he did." he beamed at her.

She hugged him again, grateful that she got the chance to do this.

She stepped out of the room to let Zion finish his lesson and made her way into the bedroom. It didn't surprise her to find Aaron there. It was his room, after all. They had said little to each other since they left Daniel's place, and she had stayed silent because she didn't know what to say.

She didn't know what to say to the man who took the life of her father and kept her in the dark about it.

He was also the man that saved her life countless times.

Daniel was right. He'd lay his life on the line for her without even thinking about it. That was how selfless he was with her.

She stepped up towards him and threw her hands around Aaron, setting aside her anger for a second and clinging to the man who still had her heart. For a moment during the accident, she didn't think she would ever see him again, and it broke her heart, but he was here.

He tightened his hold around her, dragging a deep breath and burying his face in the crook of her neck. From her calculations, it had been a few days since they last saw each other, but it felt as if it was a decade and the longing was real.

The cold night breeze blew over her skin, making goosebumps break out all over. The trees around swayed and the dry leaves rustled around. Its soft, muffled crackling sound echoed because of how quiet the road was.

The road looked familiar, and she knew she had been on it before. She heard an argument taking place behind her and turned around. There she found four boys who looked to be in their early twenties standing around the road and they looked to be waiting for someone. Two, including the one that looks like the younger version of Aaron, had black hair. The third had short red hair, and the fourth had blonde hair. They all stood tall and ooze youthful strength and foolishness.

"What are you going to do if you see him?" the boy with red hair and a mischievous smile on his face asked, and he held a bottle to his mouth.

"We are going to talk." the younger Aaron answered.

"Talk?" he scoffed. "Werewolves aren't feared and reverenced because of their ability to talk. They are feared because of the terror they inflict with their glowing eyes, sharp claws, and terrifying fangs." He answered and the two others with him bobbed their heads in agreement with what he said.

"This man killed three of our own. One of those he killed was my brother and we should make him pay," he growled and the menace in his voice could be heard. He was probably fed up with the silence Aaron gave him as a response.

Aaron held his hand on, "Listen, I know you're grieved by the loss, but there is no guarantee he killed the three pack members, Tosin." Aaron answered. "that would mean he flew from the States to the UK just to kill our kind. Humans aren't that powerful and hunters aren't that reckless."

"My intuition never failed before." The blonde one spoke in defence.
