Chapter Four

Theo's POV

Lilith remains unconscious for a whole day as I call a meeting between myself, my father, my gamma and beta. We are sat around the table in the private dinning room on my floor of the house whilst I have Calley sitting with Lilith under the instruction to call me the moment she twitches.

"Khai, as in the heir to the Diamond Blood Pack. Khai Diamond" Lucas states looking at me as if I grew three heads over night. His distaste for the situation is plain to see and I can feel his wolf fighting to take control of him in this moment as his anger lances through him at the revelation I have just dished.

"Do you know any other Khai around here?" I ask exasperated because I had already thought of this as I realised ho I'm up against. He shrugs his shoulder looking to my father for support.

"She's your mate, Rex has confirmed that?" My father asks with bated breath. Maybe he's expecting me to deny, to say that I've become desperate in my search for my fated. Maybe he wants me to say I'm gagging for any she-wolf to be my mate so I can produce an heir and solidify our genetics to take over for the next generation.

I wish things were as simple as that but I don't see how that's possible now.

"Yes dad, and he isn't willing to share even though we know that's a possibility."

Damn fucking right we ain't sharing. Rex shouts at me even though he's been pretending to be sleeping.

"Did you read her memories. Are you sure he isn't dead?" He asks making sure to turn every stone, but he's making no sense when everyone would have heard of the moon heir dying.

I sigh at the sudden flash of her memories as I think about using my gift on her without her knowledge. I've never exercised control over my ability so it just surfaces out f nowhere.

"I'm sure dad. She only knew about him being her mate for a short while."

"They lived in the same pack, she must have known him more than that" my father argues.

"Only in passing, her parents were warriors" everyone hum’s their happiness at the realisation that she comes from a strong gene pool.

"What are you going to do, keep her and fight with Khai fucking Diamond? There's no fucking chance you'll win and you'll bring death and sorrow to our pack members. Theo your crazy for even thinking about taking on a Diamond" Lucas shoots at me never being able to stop his thoughts from being verbalised.

"And you Andy, what's your opinion" I ask my gamma whose sat here quiet as can be, he raises his eyebrows milking out the time between me questioning him and him answering.

"Well Alpha, I think if she's yours you should fight. Or you know share her as she's intended to be. The moon goddess bless her soul doesn't do things without thought. If this girl is fated to more than one why prevent that?" He smirks. Andy has always been one for the less conventional way of life so it doesn't surprise me that he's all for me sharing Lilith with another.

"Rex doesn't want to share her" I drop that out there because the bastard has told me as much every five fucking minutes since we first smelt her.

"And you Alpha?" Andy asks.

"I'd be fucked if I drive away the mate I've longed for, for all this time" I say dejectedly.

"Then it's settled, the girl is yours. Now time to prepare for the fight thats to come" Andy states rubbing his hands together as Lucas rolls his eyes in a huff at being outnumbered in the vote that just took place,

"Father?" I question not wanting to make a decision without his blessing. After all this was his pack. He built it from the ground with rogues because he found himself to be a rogue when he was pushed out of the Diamond pack.

"Son, I passed this pack down to yourself out of birth right but I don't expect you to run the pack how I did. Your destiny is more important and you must follow it. This girl, she came here for a reason. I feel big things coming and I think she's at the centre of those things. I'll stand by whatever makes you happy Theo" he reaches out his hand to place in mine and a mirage of images flit through my mind. I'm not sure if it's will or because I have to see what he wants to show me but I see myself with Lilith. She's in my arms but what's more intriguing is there's another man with me not to dissimilar to myself. Unfortunately not to dissimilar to what I remember of Khai Diamond in the odd few times we have met. She is pregnant with a pup, our pup I presume and she's happy as she talks to the both of us whilst we both rub her swollen tummy.

My father see's the future but the future isn't certain. It can change with peoples decisions so I only take what I see at face value, that's only one future that's possible.

A possible future that is ours. Rex wags his tail as he stretches sleepily.

Thought you didn't want to share, I state sarcastically as Calley mind links me that Liliths waking.

I don't but Andy's right when he says that's her fate.

"I need to go, nothing will change. If Lilith decides to stay we protect her. Have the warriors informed and double up training. Something tells me they will need it" with that I'm leaving. Taking the stairs three at a time as I fly downstairs barrelling in to the room that Lilith is stirring in.

She isn't quite awake as I walk in but she's murmuring in her sleep.

"Stop. Please" she begs twisting and turning in the bed sheets with a frown on her otherwise neutral face.

"She's been doing this for a while now" Calley let's me know before she exits the room to give us privacy I think.

'Is she my Luna?' She asks through mind-link.

'She is but only if she chooses that path Cal.'

'So it's a secret to be kept quiet. Why? We've been without a Luna for so long alpha?' I frown as Lilith calls out for Khai as she gets twisted up in the bedsheets. Flapping her arms every which way as her heart rate spikes and I can smell her fear ooze into the room.

'Because I said so, and that's an order Calley' I demand before breaking the mind-link so I can tend to my mate.

"Lilith" I call shaking her sweaty body to rouse her from the nightmare she's living.

"Lilith wake up" I demand with my alpha aura.

Her eyes snap open wide and frightened as she gasps for breath clutching at her throat as she looks around the room. I'm the last thing her eyes land on and they widen.

"What did you do to me?" She hushes towards me.
