"Oh, don't worry. Nothing bad happened" Tristan breathed out in relieve. "Then......." Cabby sighed, before continuing, "He wants to see Alan. But we can't right now. Can you please give Alan the phone"
"Oh no, he's not with me. How about this, I'll call in the evening. I'm going to pick Alan up right now"
"Oh, I see, okay. Thank you"
"You don't have to" Tristan said with a smile even thought Cabby couldn't see his face. "Then take care, I'll call in the evening"
"Okay"
"Bye",
" Bye" Tristan responded. Jake hang up and turned to look at Tristan, "Explain yourself" look on his face.
Tristan sighed, "She's Cabby Solly Secks, Mr Secks second wife. She was the one who was sold to him"
"Oh" right, Tris told him everything that happened with Mr Secks and his five concubines. He also told him about his wives and children but he never mentioned their names.
"Let's go pick Alan up"
***********🐺🐺*******
After picking up Alan, they went through to Even's house. The front door and all the windows were opened. They were all nervous, of course, excluding Alan. He was so happy that he was going to see his uncle Even. No one explained Even's illness to him but he knew it might be something huge. His uncle Even must be suffering a lot and it was up to him to cheer him up. He was going to do his best.
They entered the house and looked at the living room where Even's scent strongly was. And true enough, he was there. He was seated on one of the couch, staring at outside through the opened window. He seemed to be in deep in his thoughts. Why was Even outside anyway? Tristan wasn't saying it was a bad thing but he was surprised. What made him come out? For the past weeks they has been trying to get him out of his room but nothing worked. They tried every possible way they knew but he didn't even open the door for them and now, he was. Outside, in the living room. Tristan was happy to see this new development. He would have to thank whoever it was that made Even came out of his room later. And if it was no one's influence, then he would have to thank the deities.
Even was cleaned, all dressed up. He would have looked the same as before if his beautiful dark blue eyes weren't glowing dangerously. If his skin wasn't paler and If his aura didn't scream kill.
Though he looked scary, Tristan and Alan weren't scared and surprisedly, Jake wasn't scared either.
Jake didn't know why, but he felt relaxed in Even's presence. Both his mind and body felt calm and relaxed. What was up with that?
"Uncle Even!!" Alan yelled, rushing to Even. His voice brought Even out of his thoughts and he smiled when he saw the kid. Alan leapt into Even's open arms, giggling. Surprisedly, Even was also laughing. He (Tristan) hasn't heard Even's laughter in weeks. He was glad he brought Alan today. If he knew Alan was going to be the one to make Even laugh, then he would have brought him sooner.
Jake and Tristan made their way into the living room. Even sat Alan on his lap and gave his attention to Tristan and the new person. He has never seen him before or smelled his scent before. He knew all the omegas in town but he has never seen this person beside Tristan before. Right, he concluded this person wasn't from town. He put on a sweet smile at both Tristan and the person who came with him, pretending to be okay.
"Hi Tristan"
"Hi" Tristan replied with a same, "Please, have a sit" both Tristan and Jake took a seat on one of the couches, studying Even. "So, are you a little better now?" Even nodded to Tristan's question, saying, "I know you want to know why I finally left the room"
That, Tristan did want to know. But he didn't think Even would rise the topic himself. This itself prove that Even was trying to get back into his old self. "Is because I promised Roy. I promised to try and get better"
" I see" That's good.
"So, who's your friend here?" Even asked, looking at Tristan. He was still a little shock and in disbelief that his wolf wasn't attacking Tristan or this person Tristan brought, claiming they were his mate. In fact, his wolf hasn't acted up since his brother Roy pay him a visit. But he could still feel the rage and the desire to claim someone. But, his wolf hasn't made a move or spoken to him since Roy's visit. He has quieted down and he (Even) hasn't gotten any complaints or scolding from him. It was quiet, and it was nice.
"This is Jake Ramsey, my friend" Tristan introduced Jake to him. Jake smiled at Even and watched as Even's eyes widened in shock.
He was Jake. He was Jake! The one his wolf has been pestering him to go find him and claim him. 'Go find him, go claim him!' 'He's yours, believe me' his wolf had been saying those words, driving him crazy. He was the one his wolf believed he was his mate.
Yet, at this moment when he has finally met him, his wolf was quiet. He wasn't saying anything. Why? And looking at Jake, he doesn't feel the connection. Jake was not his mate. Was that why his wolf was quiet?
No! During his other state, mate or not, his wolf would attack that person, trying to claim him. So, why wasn't he acting? Why was his wolf quiet?
"Hi" Jake's voice brought Even out of his thoughts. He looked at Jake with a smile. This wasn't bad after all. It was a good thing his wolf wasn't acting up. It was a good thing his wolf wasn't complaining, blaming or scolding him. This meant something, right?
"Hi" Even returned the greeting. "Uncle Even, when are you coming home? I miss you" Alan has notice his uncle Even wasn't looking good. Even his eyes were glowing and his face was paler. But he didn't comment or ask about it.
This must be the so-called illness everyone was talking about. But he wasn't afraid of his uncle Even's knew look. He just wanted his uncle Even back to him.
"Very soon cham, very soon" Even replied. Alan laid his head on Even's chest, relaxing into his arms. Even looked at Tristan and Jake, smiled at them and they also returned the smile.

They were now in the living room waiting for their mates who were in a meeting with Roy, Corey, Sebastian and Zane in the office. Right after sending Rex and Marie off, they went into the office for a meeting. And Tristan and Jake being good mates decided to wait for their mates. Alan already went to bed so did Debby, Minna, Sandy and James. Well, only after cleaning up the kitchen. "For what?" Jake looked at his phone on the couch beside him. The phone Albert bought for him when he turned 16. That day, Al bought two phones. One for Tristan and one for him. He had used the phone for years, that was until he was sent to Cidna Pack, and they took it away. He only got his phone back when Roy and Corey recused and his phone, was with the guard who was guarding him back at Cidna pack. He (The guard) was als

Colten sighed, seeing that frown on Jake's face was seriously destroying his mood, "It seemed you weren't the only one there" And they have to talk about his past again. He sincerely hope Jake doesn't have a nightmare after this. Uhuh, he hated himself for bringing up Jake's past. "Kid, you thought you were in Rid Pack when you called that last time right?" Chris didn't want to open up his mouth about that place. Although he knew no matter what, Jake will recall those past events as long as they were having this conversation. Jake nodded as answer, "Yes. I only found out I wasn't there after Roy and Corey recused me" with his head bowed, Jake said, "I don't even know when they transferred me" "I see. Well, you weren't the only one there" Chris said. Jake looked at him with that surprised look, "Corey cl

Jake climbed the bed, sat in the middle before scooting to support his back to on the bedframe when he realised he was too tired and needed something to lean on. Colten sat on the left edge of the bed and leaned against the wall, waiting for his other mate, Chris. They had to talk about the mission he was going on with Jake. Chris walked towards the bed, reaching, he took a seat in the middle, facing his mates when Jake made way by crossing his legs. Jake looked at his mates one after the other and knew they had something to say. He just wish they will hurry on it and also wish it wasn't something bad. He hope they haven't decided to leave him because of his past. Was it too much for them to handle? But he has promised to deal with it. He has promised to fight it, to be str

He wanted this. He wanted what Lvan and Tristan had. What Jake, Colten and Chris had. He wanted what they had. But he also knew, he would never get it. Never. "By the way, where's Roy? And is Even still not here? Also, I want to know why......" Marie's gaze fell on Tristan and she kept quiet, changing the words she almost said. She didn't want Tristan to find out she was about to talk about the pills. Bad memories, Tristan earned from hearing about them (The pills). " I also want to know why he left and when he's coming back" she said. Not looking at Tristan in case he caught on what she really wanted to talk about. And she ask the question none of them wanted to answer. They didn't want to tell her about Even's illness, not yet. "What's this mom, you love Even that much? I'm so
Author: Thank you for reading. *******🐺******🐲****** Lvan, Tristan, Alan, Marie, Chris, Jake, Colten and Rex were having breakfast with Minna and Sandy serving them. Breakfast was fresh breads right from the oven, fried eggs and juice. Of course, except Tristan who was having milk, his favorite. "Hey, aren't you guys joining us?" Lvan always ask Minna, Sandy, James and Debby to join them for breakfast whenever all the residents sit for breakfast but they always refuse. Even when lvan use his power to command them, they still refuse. Lvan didn't know why. Debby or James never gave him an explanation. They just refuse, but with Minna and Sandy, he could see they wanted to join them. But going against James and Debby was harder than cutting their precious fingers. 'We will love to join but....' Minna and Sandy said in their minds before looking back at the entrance of the kitchen where they saw Debby and James with psycho smiles, kitchen knifes in his hands while

He knocked at first and greeted but the owner of the room didn't reply and so he stated his business knowing full well Rex was in there. After telling him about the effect of the pills Tristan used to take, Rex suddenly opened the door. Surprising him. With a worried expression, he asked if Tristan was okay and where he was. Jake immediately told him he was just about to go see him and if possible, he should join him. Without hesitation Rex agreed. They then left for Tristan's room. ******🐺******🐺****** Tristan was watching 'Noragmi' a Japanese anime on his laptop when there came a knock at the door. Hoping the knock didn't wake up Alan, he turned to look at his son who laid down asleep with the blanket covering him from his legs to his neck. He smiled when Alan shifted in his sleep, Mumbling something he did
