The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Chapter 56: Fighting Against Domestic Violence 

Peter's POV:

"I can't believe that evil wizard would ever do such a thing.Well, you've come to the right place, young man.I haven't heard from him for a long time, but I can tell you where his dens are located.From there, I assume your chances of finding him will be higher."

The old nun took a piece of paper and with her frail, trembling hand, she wrote down several addresses.

She even noted how to enter most of them.

In some places, a secret spell needed to be said, or there was some sort of mechanism to trigger, or some potions were required.

It seemed that our trip to the nunnery was not in vain at all.

Without this information, we would not know where to start in our search for Alexander.It might have taken our whole lifetime.

"Ma'am, may I ask you a question? What was your relationship with Alexander, since you seem to know so much about him? Of course, only if you want to tell us."

The old nun stared off to the distance.

"When I was younger, he and I had a relationship.I was too naive to see his true colors.Later on, he abandoned me and broke my heart.If I'm honest with you, he's a big reason why I do not allow men in this vicinity."

After hearing the pain he had caused her, I thought it was no wonder why this old nun was so willing to help take Alexander down.

I decided not to pry further since it was a personal affair.

We thanked her profusely before leaving the nunnery.

When we looked at the locations she had given us, none were in England.

The nearest one to us was all the way in Iceland.

Alvin immediately booked a flight to Iceland for us tomorrow morning.

There, we had found a hotel and checked in for the night.After taking a shower, I thought about the time difference back home.

Maybe Serena was still awake.

I rang Serena's phone with a video call.I did miss her very much.I thought that teaching her about phone sex would be a good idea.

While my hand attended to my penis, I gave Serena instructions on how to pleasure herself with her hands.

We were busy enjoying ourselves when suddenly the doorbell rang.

What the fuck? Why now, of all times? I left my phone on the bed, with Serena still on the other end of the line, and put on a bathrobe.

Obviously, my penis was hard.

Even though I wore a bathrobe, it was still seen past the fabric.

I tried to cover the lower part of my body.

No one would notice it as long as they didn't pay attention to it.

When I opened the door, it was a she- wolf.She had on a sexy maid's outfit, holding a tray of drinks.

"Good evening, sir.I've brought you a special drink.It's on the house."

"Oh, thank you.Just put it on the tea table, then."

I went back and picked up my phone to tell Serena to wait for a second.

However, after putting the drink on the table, the she-wolf didn't seem to have any intention of leaving just yet.

"Oh, sir, look.You already have an erection.Maybe I should stay here with you to fix it..."

The she-wolf flung herself at me and we fell onto the bed.

"Stay away from my mate, you bitch!" Serena heard everything and shouted angrily.

I pushed the she-wolf off of me and dragged her out of the room.

Serena told me to be more careful during the trip.

We then picked up where we left off, pleasuring ourselves while whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Until the both of us had orgasms, we did not end the call.Before I fell asleep, I sent Serena a message.

"When you told that she-wolf to stay away from me, I was reminded when I had to say the same thing before rescuing you from Brandon.I had a mix of conflicting feelings then, both grief and joy.I was so hurt to see you in that state, but also I was so glad to have finally found you.Good night, my baby."

"I'm always grateful for your protection and love.Good night, Pet!"

Serena's POV:

"Are you serious? There was a she-wolf that tried to seduce Peter last night?"

Patricia screamed in anger as soon as I told them about what happened.

"Yes, nothing happened, though.” Peter drove her away.

I put my hands out to Patricia, trying to calm her down.

"Oh, the same thing happened to Alvin! A shameless she-wolf went up to his room to give him a drink, but she also tried to seduce him." Tessa crossed her arms.

"You know, it's difficult to completely trust men nowadays.You should give them more phone calls every day when they're away.If they suddenly say that they can't answer the phone, then something is probably up,"

Patricia said with much confidence.Tessa and I looked at each other and smiled.

Patricia was much younger than us and didn't even have a boyfriend yet.

However, every time she would talk about relationships and men, she always seemed to have the most experience.

"At least those men really rejected the she-wolves Anyway, let's go shopping today!"

Patricia loved to go shopping every day.She also loved to do it with her friends, so she called Anabel and Bridget today.

They were resident nurses in the pack’'s hospital.It was them who took good care of me and Tessa after we both got injured.

Anita also came with us and brought along her cousin Nelson, who was going to drive us to the mall and help carry our bags.

We talked and laughed on the way to the mall.

But out of the corner of my eye, I felt that Nelson was a bit absent-minded and kept looking back at us through the rearview mirror.

"Hey, Anita.Why have I never met your cousin before?"

"Oh, well he usually works outside the city for one of our company's branches.He was refused by his mate a few years ago and rarely came back here.But because of the Luna Ceremony, he has a few days off."

There was a trace of pity in Anita's voice.

"What? Why was he rejected? He's kind of cute..."

Anabel asked as she looked at Nelson with some sort of fascination.

"Oh, come on, Anabel.You already have a boyfriend! If Ted finds out, he'll be jealous and hit you again," Bridget warned Anabel.

"Hush, Bridget..."

"Anabel, Ted is your boyfriend? Why would he hit you?" My eyes widened.

"Ted was actually my ex-boyfriend, but we got back together recently..."

I could sense sadness in Anabel's eyes. She deliberately avoided my second question.

I couldn't help but read her mind.

‘I'm so scared.I hope Ted won't be home tonight.If he is, he'll hit me again.’ I clenched my fists when I discovered that Ted did actually hit Anabel.

I hadn't expected that there would be cases of domestic violence in Red Maple.

Seeking justice for Anabel was imperative! I was the Luna.

I could not let one of my members suffer like that.

"Anabel, I am the Luna of this pack.I will never allow any woman to get beaten up by a man in this pack.Tell me, do you want to break up with Ted?"

Anabel looked at me with pleading eyes.

She wanted to say something, but hesitated, so I read her mind again.

‘‘No, it's useless.If I try to leave Ted...He might kill me, and even my parents!’’ Anabel then shook her head violently.

This must have been going on for too long.

Anabel had been bullied for such a long time that she no longer had the courage to leave Ted.

I needed to help get this poor girl out of her situation.

As the Luna, it was my duty to do so.

We got out of the car when we arrived at the mall.

I caught a glance of Nelson eagerly looking over at Anabel.

Anabel reciprocated with an affectionate look as well.

But I knew that they both held back their desires.

‘Don't be silly, Zack.Even if Anabel is truly my mate, so what? I might just be rejected again.I would rather die alone, without anyone in my life.’ Nelson's thoughts poured into my head.

He hadn't moved on from the pain.He was still afraid of getting hurt again.

In the mall, it was only Patricia that kept shopping.There was nothing I wanted to buy for myself, since my closet already had everything I needed.

I did, however, pick out some shirts and ties for Peter.

Right after shopping, Patricia called her best friends out for lunch.

The rest of us returned to the pack.

Anita followed me to my office while I asked Nelson to send the two nurses home.I told Anita about Anabel's thoughts.

"Well, Ted was a security guard for one of the bars here in Red Maple.He lost the job because he flirted with a customer.He's also notorious for being quite the drunkard."

Anita told me some basic information about Ted.

"Do you think there's a way to separate the two of them?"

"If Anabel makes a request, we can help her.If she doesn't, we can't meddle in their relationship."

"But Anabel's already given up.She thinks she can't leave Ted anymore.She's suffering from Stockholm syndrome.Also, there's one more thing.I also read Nelson's mind and discovered that Anabel is his mate!"

"What?!" Anita gasped loudly and brought her hand to her mouth.

"Yes, but he doesn't want to fight for his feelings and for Anabel."

"Okay, I'll talk to Nelson."
