Chapter 64
“Hey, I have a name.”
“I know that.”
“Your wife has something to tell you too.”
“Oh? What do you want to tell me?” he asked Carmelia.
“One of your seeds got lucky and made friends with my ladyball. Now a new being’s been created,” she said.
“So you’re just like Regina. We are expecting a baby too?”
“Yes, honey.”
“Thank you, Carmelia.” he brought her into a hug. When they finally broke the hug, he raised her top a little and placed a kiss on her outie belly button, then planted more kisses around it.
Then he let go of the shirt and kissed his wife. Now it was Regina’s turn to record them on her phone.
10 minutes later,
“What? The competition’s date’s been announced?” Carmelia exclaimed. “When is it?”
“Mel and I have to set off with chosen pack warriors tomorrow.” her mate replied with a heavy sigh.
“Isn’t it ironic? Our mates gave us good news but we brought them disturbing news instead.” Mel pointed out.
“So who have you guys chosen to go?” Regina couldn’t help asking. This was just too sudden.
What was the werewolf council playing at? What did it mean by bringing the date closer to catch many unaware and unprepared? Who approved of this rubbish decision? None of them knew the answers to any of these questions. Yet they still had to make preparations to depart with the chosen elites.
“Oh yeah, that reminds me. Rolandro. When I came to see you earlier, recall I had a vital matter to discuss with you.”
“Yeah. What was it about?”
“I might as well share it here.” Mel rubbed his palms together before blowing air into them.
“You see, it’s my turn to teach Lavana today.”
“Yup.” the others nodded.
“Guess what she did today?”
“She fainted? Were you so harsh on her?” Carmelia asked.
“Nope. She’s… she’s strong.”
“You mean she’s improved? Like better than she was yesterday, she’s a quick learner?” Rolandro asked.
“In terms of strength, I must confess that she is on par with us but she lacks technique,” Mel said.
“Yeah that’s why we train her… wait! Did you just say she’s on par with us in terms of strength?”
“I asked her to fight me in my wolf form while she remains human. She wasn’t performing well at the start, and kept running away from me until she figured out it wouldn’t work and decided to face me. To sum it all up, she beat me so bad and I nearly died.”
“Are you serious? You’re not exaggerating, are you?” Regina asked in worry.
“She indeed is strong. Her small hands contain such monstrous strength.”
“And you say she’s an Omega wolf?”
“She’s not an ordinary Omega. Probably, her dad must have been an Alpha or at least of the royal bloodline. But I never heard of an Omega wolf with the strength of a Beta.” Rolandro looked bewildered, as well as the others.
“What should we do? She’s originally on the list of those elites to fight in the competition.”
“You’ve already drafted a list?” Carmelia asked Mel.
“Not on paper but in my head.”
“You know she hasn’t acknowledged this pack as hers yet. She has to acknowledge us as her own first before she can qualify. Plus, she hasn’t been trained enough. How is she going to fight? She only has strength but someone with wit and technique can easily take her down.” Carmelia stated.
“Yeah, that’s true indeed,” Mel said with a nod. “Is this little pack destined to be disbanded?” he sighed deeply.
“We have to try. If it really is destined for us to disband, so be it. But we must throw that celebration party before setting off. It won’t be big but at least, we did something.” Rolandro said with a sigh.
“I want to participate.” they heard a voice and became startled.
“I have to.” the owner of the voice came into the living room and knelt.
“Lavana wishes to become a Bloodstar.” she cupped her hands.
“You… You were eavesdropping? Since when?”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to but it’s when you guys started discussing about the competition,” Lavana replied.
“Since you want to join, do so at the celebration party,” said Mel.
“Celebration party. What’s being celebrated?” Lavana asked in confusion, dropping her hands.
“Rise first.” Mel helped Lavana to stand up and made her seat on a chair, close to them.
“You see, there’s double good news. First, I’m gonna be a dad and second, Pedro’s gonna have a little sibling to play with soon.”
“Erm… You mean he’s gonna treat your baby as his sibling?”
“Dummy. Our mates are pregnant.” Rolandro reprimanded.
“Oh! Congratulations! I’m happy for you guys.” she said excitedly.
“Thank you, hun,” Regina said.
“Um, I have to get going then. Since we are leaving tomorrow, I need to train.”
“I’ll coach you throughout the night after the ceremony,” said Rolandro. “The competition’s on Monday. I’ll rest during the trip tomorrow. Remember, if you can’t beat the opponent, it’s not a shame to admit defeat. If we have to disband, so be it. Don’t push yourself too much.”
“Don’t worry about the training. I will use it as a chance to improve myself. I will practice myself tonight. I want you to spend quality time with your family. I’ll get going now. Once again, congrats to you all.” Lavana rose from the chair and walked out of the house, heaving a sigh.
“Girl, you have a lot of things to do,” she muttered to herself as she headed for the room. She needed to make plans for herself and Beatrix. It seems it was time for the little one to bid the pack farewell. And she has to discuss with her mate too.
