at the gate as a favor to my friends, Jordan, Romy, and Larkin. I am a cat shifter; my cat is a Siberian Tiger. I accompanied my leaders to Milliken to bring Jordan and her mates. We are staying until further notice, but I assume I will now be staying longer. My parents live up north and will be thrilled I have found my mate. They are lawyers, and yes, I followed in their path and have my degree in law also. I am healthy and can provide for your daughter. So did that about cover all the bases? I wanted to get the parental grilling out of the way.” Blaze said smiling.
“Uh,” Her father said and stood there.
Spencer cleared his throat and said, “Young man, I am not sure if you know what is going on here.”
“Yep, Quin just told me. My mate is part of the Council. And although I have found her first, we still have another mate out there we have to find. All the Council has tri-mates but one, Jo. Trinity was born in October, which makes her the Pack Builder.” Blaze said off handily as if he was ordering off a menu.
Spencer nodded slowly, not quite sure what to make of the cat. Her mother grasped her hand, leaned over, and whispered in her ear. “My, he is a big one.”
“Mother.” Trinity said and whispered back. How embarrassing. Cats had great hearing. He had probably heard her mother say that. As confirmation, she heard a deep laugh come from the other side of the room.
There was more commotion as an older man pushed his way past the man claiming to be her mate. He stood in the doorway looking disheveled and thin. “Spencer.” The man cried and went to her boss and grabbed him in a tight hug.
Spencer allowed the man to hug him and then stepped back and bowed his head.
“Alpha, it is good to see you. I am sorry we have taken so long and for all the anguish which we played a hand in. Our only explanation is that we had to protect Trinity.” The man smiled and laid his hand on Spencer"s shoulder and said. “Of course, I would not expect anything different. Quin and Jaden say that you have come to exonerate me.
I was set to try to retrieve my memories tomorrow morning with the help of a witch. I think I will still do that. I need to learn of the betrayal. It seems so farfetched that my Beta and friend was the one to betray me.” Trinity assumed this was Oliver, the Old Council leader.
Her father went to Spencer"s side, bowed his head, and bared his neck as a sign of respect. “Alpha.” Her father muttered and then the man touched his shoulder also. “My friend, you do not have to apologize, you were protecting your family. Now let me see the new member of the New Council.”
Her mother stood and bowed her head. “Alpha, this is my daughter Trinity. Trinity, this is our Alpha, Oliver.”
Trinity stood and bowed her head and waited.
“My dear, you don"t bow your head to anyone.” Oliver whispered with a smile and then reached over and caressed her head. “But, I see that you have become a very beautiful wolf.”
Trinity felt herself blush and she smiled. The man who claimed to be her mate came forward and said, “Trinity.” In an almost reverent whisper. “Please to meet you.” It was all too much. Trinity backed up until she hit the chair and fell back down with a stunned expression on her face. First, she meets the most powerful shifters in the world, as well as finding out about her past. Now she had a huge, gorgeous man standing in front of her saying they were mates, and she was one of the Chosen. How much more bizarre could the day get?
Chapter 4
Casey sat with her mates rubbing her stomach. She was not sure, but she thought she might be in labor. Hell, not today, she thought and looked around the room. Everyone was talking about what was going on in the other room. Today had been so full of surprises. Last night, Jo had been ready to have a break down and now she looked carefree and happy again. It was amazing what the truth could do. She was happy for her friend, but right now,
