Chapter 17 - avoiding the most important person in your life
Nero is trying his best not to shake in anger and disappointment but he knows his friend needs him by his side. For years and years Ezra was dependant on him, his strength and guidance. As soon as the Burial is done and over with Nero takes himself back to his room. He feels restricted in his clothes which he only put on to make Silvia happy. He feels the most comfortable when he is free in his Wolf all by himself.
As the Sun starts to go down and the day draws to an end, Nero walks back out of the House and Ezra catches up with him.
“It’s your turn to stand guard tonight, are you okay with it?” He questions him just as he heads past him. Nero just nods leaving Ezra behind as he walks down the main road towards the Big Gate.
He doesn’t mind doing the Night guard, then he can sleep the day away avoiding people, even better for him now so he doesn’t have to make things up why he is so withdrawn from the situation.

It is a bit unusual for a proud wolf like you to hide your mate, I am just curious as it has been a while since I have seen you happy and you are clearly bearing her mark.” Gordon refuses to stand down waiti
The wrong Mate Chapter 19 - the truth
He puts his hand on his chin pondering, thinking what to answer him. Obviously, he knows why the sudden change of character but he can hardly tell Ezra about the secret he is keeping so close to his heart.“Maybe give her a few days, I am sure she will come around soon. Don’t forget not only did she lose your Father as Alpha but she recently had to leave her own pack to come and join us here, it’s all been a shock to the system.” Nero answers trying to reassure his friend that everything will be well once everyone settles back after the loss of the Alpha.“It feels like she is fading away under my hands! Do you think there is anything I could do to make her feel any better?” Ezra interrogations Nero hoping to find a lead on how to help her.“I am not sure, maybe give her a bit more time and then take her for a walk or a picnic out away from all the eyes and ears, in the village.” Nero recons.“Ye

Slipping into his shirt he can hear some footsteps coming closer to his door. He listens out for any other sounds when everything goes quiet. His heart starts to race and he gets this tickling feeling in his stomach. His legs feel like jelly as he puts his hand carefully on the door. He can feel the energy radiating through the door but then it starts to fade away as he hears the footsteps leave again.Insecure and unsure what to do he takes a deep breath. It kind of leaves him gasping for air, wanting more as it sparked a warm feeling inside of him. It was more than that, he didn’t want the feeling to stop. It’s like on a rainy and cold day, when you are yearning for the sun to come out and warm you up. When the sun breaks through the grey clouds and you can see the rays hit right through you, warming you from the core.He murmurs under his breath “ I still need you.” as he freezes for a moment and his expressions darkens.

I can’t imagine to be with him. I’d rather …” he never let her finish those words before pressing his warm lips on hers. He couldn’t help himself. He had the best intensions to let her go an be there for Ezra and for the Pack but his bond with her is stronger than anything he has ever experienced.“I need to tell you something.” She grabs onto his hand looking at him with a hopeful smile.“Nero, I … we are… “ she can’t find the words when out of a sudden Nero’s expression changes.“We are under attack, every fighter to your positions now.” Gordon’s call through the mind link is urgent and definitely not part of training as there are screams for children and wo

Nero’s shoulders are hanging down with the weight he carries. Gordon looks over to Vida and Nero speaking in a low and calm voice “Guess you are on guard tonight, let’s get everyone ready, my Lady… you should join Silvia and Ezra in the main house.” With that he turns to leave slowly. Nero holds his hand out towards Vida, she places her left hand in his. The sheer love between the two, the little sparks in their eyes as they look at each other. You can feel the admiration she has for him as she looks deep into his eyes. “Gordon is right Vida, you should leave. I will make sure you are safe.” Nero pulls her closer as he holds on tight to her hand. “I will see you in the morning.” He says in a whisper close to her ear as he places a warm kiss on her cheek. “I don’t want to leave you. Let me stay here with you, I can help, I am sure.” She tries to plead with him. “I don’t think it’s the best idea to have you here. I would never spend any attention

Nero cold tell as he had been here many times before but never has been a morning been as busy and hectic as this. Vida straightens her hair out before they head back towards the Alpha house as Silvia has a heated discussion with one of the Villagers.“Is everything okay?” Nero asks as he approaches them with Vida walking up behind him.“We can’t find Vida; she hasn’t been in her room last night and nothing is going like we had discussed it yesterday with Ezra. It’s a mess Nero!” she almost shouts at him but then her voice drops a little as Vida steps out behind Nero looking at Silvia.“I am sorry Silvia; Vida had asked last night to stand the night guard and I couldn’t find a reason why not to allow her.” Nero apologises as Silvia puts her hands on her hips looking mad

The cold water running down his muscular body offering a relieve, calming his nerves as he starts to feel stressed. He just stands there staring at the wall as his mind is racing. He needs to stop Ezra’s plans to marry Vida. They have always been close, right? So, it should really not be such a big thing. Nero tries to keep his composure, fairly certain he reminds himself that Ezra is now at a state where he thinks Vida is his mate, when in reality she is Nero’s.He wraps a towel around his waist after drying himself walking back into his room when once again Silvia has left him some clothes on the bed to put on. Just this time he doesn’t feel comfortable enough to actually putting them on.
