Chapter 163
Adam's POV
WHOA! This is their HOUSE?! I haven't been to my brother's apartment, but he linked saying that it's bigger and more comfortable than our tiny house in Shining Moon Lane between the Pack House and Lamont Village back at Blood Moon. Aaron said the boys love that they each have their own bedroom with a clear view of The Caribbean since instead of a tiny window, it's a whole wall! I was TOTALLY on board with coming here after London... I saw with my own eyes what badasses they are and I wanted in! What can I say? I'm a sucker for spy movies! And these wolves LIVED that life! I can just imagine growing up here and having the choice to live such a fun life! And I think on my nephews... They WILL have that opportunity!
Just being mated to Loiza made Kayden a better Alpha! I saw that video where she challenged her own father and brother for the right to go out. At Blood Moon, that combat would have made her be considered a prodigy and would have garnished her a LIFETIME of glory and EVERY unmated male at her feet! And to top it all off, she's a High Priestess of Avalon!
They train these little girls to essentially be mirrors of the Goddess and her power! When she arrived in Virginia and we found out that our Alpha would be mated to a Priestess and from the stories we were hearing that she was very powerful, we were very excited to have a Luna like that to stand by Kayden. Little did we know how powerful she truly was! There were many moments in Blood Moon where people were afraid of her, especially after what happened with Logan. In our pack and many packs around the world, rejecting a mate is not unusual! HERE it's EXTREMELY Taboo to the point that I still feel Umbros's terror through the Bond of having been potentially BANISHED for just hesitating on Marking me.
When Jason moved here he explained how different they lived and how they didn't worry about their borders, they have the tech to warn for danger, the volcano was something else entirely. He wasn't allowed to send pictures of everything, just selfies of HIS life, I was pissed that Kayden didn't send ME! And now that I'm here I definitely understand WHY The Osupa protect this place and are not willing to have it taken from them. I can't wait to explore more of it!
Kayden puts his arm over my shoulder... It looks like Umbros wasn't the only one who was worried about nothing. I hope it goes well with Aaron...
"Well Adam, since you're mated to one of them, are you understanding the Bond?" I JUST Marked him!
"Dude, I'm still trying to understand The Fort! And that house! And that other one! And those buildings in the distance! We are a long way from Lamont Village man!" He looks thoughtful and looks at Marcus.
"Dude wait till you see INSIDE! This house is insane, they really don't play with their architecture, have you been inside The Fort all these past few days?" Marcus asks and Umbros chimes in.
"Yup, and that's my fault, I was a dick and---" It's not ALL his fault, after he told me his own distress so that I could really think about it, I realized that I was fearful, too.
"Yeah his dick is fantastic! C'mon baby, give me a tour of this place!" He treated me with love and gave me a chance to really think it through. I will always appreciate that, besides holding the urge to Mark ourselves I have never felt so comfortable with another partner ever!
"SERIOUSLY?! I'M EATING HERE! It's not like I want to hear about my cousin's THANG! Umbros, congrats on finally Marking your mate! Did you have trouble finding his NECK asshole?!" Nasser goes to her and wraps his arms around her giving her a passionate kiss.
"I missed you." And he looks at Umbros shaking his head and hands her a little box. "Here beautiful, from Fatima and Roxy. New recipe! I'll just go ahead and leave you to keep enjoying thrashing him, you said there were alcapurrias?" AlcaWHAT?!
"Yeah they're in the oven, go and have some baby!" The pitch of her voice changed COMPLETELY to a soft and sweet tone. He kissed her forehead and went in.
"C'mon new cousin let's get some grub, Nina was so happy about making peace with Bayo that she cooked his favorite! Churrasco with chimichurri and arañitas! Hope your hungry! There's boat loads of food!" And the girl pulled me deeper inside the house... there's a freaking GARDEN INSIDE! The sun is soon to set and it gives it a bit of an enchanted forest vibe! It has what looks like a wide bridge above it.
"Nía, his name is Adam! Where the fuck are your manners?! And your also going to keep giving me shit?!" I vaguely remember her from Blood Moon, she's the Alpha's sister and here I am making dick jokes!
"Fuck you Umbros! Your the one in deep shit here! I didn't even FLINCH at Marking MY sweet Nasser ASAP! Adam I'm sorry for my cousin's stupidity, you see, he's very unskilled at many things, I'm sure that one of his accidents must have damaged his brain! I sure hope the next one will cut off his tongue! It will save our ears from listening to so much bullshit!" YOOOO! I guess I don't have to worry about dick jokes then. DAMN! That was BRUTAL! I look at Kayden who looks like his holding a laugh, and follows the others to greet everyone inside. Nobody seemed to bat an eye at that burn! "Don't even think about getting me into THIS battle Adam, they're veteran Warriors! I'm still new at their clap back war dude, for now I'm only getting involved if Izz is involved. Have fun! Nía, little sister I hope you go easy on him."
"No can do Kayden big bro, I can't make that promise." She says with a straight face while taking a bite off a crunchy yellow pattie? It smells like it has a lot of garlic, making me salivate!
"Fair enough! Carry on!" He answers while nodding, and he's OUT! SERIOUSLY?!
"Listen here you little shit, if you haven't noticed I've had a bad day! I'm trying to fix it okay?! Can you get off my ass?! Please forgive my little cousin Love, she has a serious chemical imbalance that makes her EXTRA ANNOYING, unfortunately there's no cure!" Oooooh I see! So this is THAT type of family! No wonder he feels so dejected, looking through his mind Suania is the YOUNGEST! Yeesh! That also explains Freya and Morgana's attitude... this is STANDARD for them, they're already used to it.
"Whatever! I rather be annoying than to be a jerk like you!" And she swirls her mid back chestnut curls and goes to the back where some family members seem to be.
"Wow, tough crowd huh?" He leans in hugging me and scents his Mark to calm down.
"You have no idea. C'mon let's face the music." He sounds defeated... My poor mate! I hug him tight kissing his temple.
We go directly to the Alpha.
Except for that first day in Blood Moon were she looked like she had walked through Hades, she's always looked regal, even when she was suited up in London! And then to see her in the throne room! None of us had seen anything like that in our world! The Council
