Maleah’s p.o.v.
+8 Pearls
I wake up in Mack’s arms who is still sitting on the couch in the Alpha office, I look up at Dillon who smiles when he sees that I am awake, “Downside of your aura?” He asks and I tell him I have always been tired after using my aura but never like this.
“It feels as if I used all of my abilities at the same time, which I haven’t but it still feels like it.” I answer Dillon honestly, I know every downside of my abilities but I have never been left this exhausted.
My hearing gift doesn’t have a downside as it is just a part of me, but using my aura always leaves me feeling a bit tired and the same goes for my gift of sense. Hiding my scent or hiding Fortune’s presence has become such a natural part of me that I am not sure what it does for me, maybe I should try to stop using those abilities while I am in Pack territory.
I hardly ever use my personal link, so I am not sure what the consequences are of using that gift.
I try to remember if I have ever felt this tired after an assignment, but none comes to mind and I ask Fortune if she can think of anything that might explain my tiredness. Elyse opens the door to tell us that lunch is almost ready and Mack allows me to get up from his lap, but his hand is on my lower back before I have taken one step.
“Get used to it, Angel. Even after we have marked one another I will still take advantage of every opportunity to touch you.” I hear him say in my head.
Mack and I get a lot of stares as we walk into the dining room and it has everything to do with his hand on my lower back, only power hungry females or a female that feels a connection would allow a male to touch her like that.
Our Wolves and Lycans won’t like it if another male than our Mate touches us, but as a designer and a business woman I have learned to deal with it and Fortune no longer growls and snarls out loud when it happens.
“I am surprised you haven’t bitten my Son’s head off yet, Maleah.” Colter asks and I smile at him when I hear Mack growl softly.
“It seems that every male thinks a female can’t find her way to her seat if they don’t guide her and I have come accustomed to it by now.” I answer him as I sit down in my seat and I see Elyse smile as some Pack- members are murmuring.
“Or the lack of having a Wolf.” Nightmare comments and her friends start laughing.
“Stop hiding me, let’s see if they will keep laughing.” Fortune growls in my head and without wasting a second I allow everyone to feel Fortune’s presence. I
get up to walk towards the source of my annoyance but Dad blocks my way and I can see Timber pushing forward to see his Pup in my eyes for the first time. He only saw us in our Lycan form, but never were they able to see their Pup as a part of me and I can feel the bond between Timber and Fortune form.
Normally this bond would have formed after the first time I shifted, but with me keeping it a secret Dad and Timber had to wait until today and even though Fortune and I want to teach Nightmare a lesson we will focus on Dad and Timber first.

“Thank you, my Daughters, for giving me this change. I have felt incomplete ever since we found out you were there, Fortune.” Timber says to us in my head and he slowly withdraws for our bond, leaving me in the arms of
Dad.
“Thank you, Sweetheart. Now, go do what you set out to do.” He whispers in my ear before he lets me go and steps to the side for me to continue to walk towards Nightmare.
“Fortune still doesn’t like it when males touch us, we believe that right is reserved for our Mate. She still snarls and growls in my head when a male touches us, but she gave up on doing it out loud and I can guarantee you that if I hadn’t made her see it meant nothing half our population would be dead.
I am giving you a small warning, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY MATE” Everyone can tell that the last part was a combination of my voice and Fortune’s voice and the females at the table look rather pale from feeling Fortune’s presence.
“Angel, calm down. I think even the Warriors on border patrol heard you.” I hear next to my ear as Mack slides his arms around my waist. Fortune growls softly at him but he can tell she isn’t mad at him.
“Want to sleep alone tonight, Big Boy.” Fortune says teasingly and next thing I know he lifts me up bridal style to sit down in his seat.
“I’ll just hold onto you until morning.” Mack growls back at her and I giggle when she tells him to enjoy an afternoon of dress talk.
“Luna Elyse, I will be sitting in on your meeting. I am not letting go of my Mate until tomorrow morning.” Mack says loud enough for everyone to hear and most of the Pack–members in the dining room start cheering, but I see a worried look on Dillon’s face.
“Fuck, we screwed up. We were supposed to keep this hidden a little while longer, Mack” I say through the mind–link and he looks from me to everyone around us, before he shrugs his shoulders.
“I don’t care who knows or who tells your Mother, there isn’t anything she or anyone else can do about it and the first one that makes a wrong remark is going to regret it.” He says and I can tell that he really doesn’t care about who might tell my Mom, because whoever tells her is going to pay.
During the rest of lunch Nightmare and her friends keep glaring in our direction and from time to time I feel Fortune pushing forward.
Mack and Commander are to focused on us to either notice their glares or they just act as if they don’t see it, but the female that is after Levi keeps smiling and winking at him and Fortune has had just about enough of it.
“Angel, what is wrong? It feels as if you are about to explode.” Mack asks and I tell him about the female I warned Levi about. He slowly moves me in his lap to be able to watch the table next to ours and it only takes minutes before I can feel that he and Commander are getting agitated.
