Page 20 of Fearful Mate

Epilogue

Thomas

We drive for three days.Me, Lola, Caine, and Godrick.

We decided to leave Calum behind to watch over the pack.Godrick wouldn’t let Caine come alone and as an Alpha himself could help defend us.I’m not sure it’s the best plan to bring the two strongest Alphas along for this, but no one was listening when I voiced my opinion.

We reach the Thorn Pack and step out to make our presence known.A tall, muscular man with red hair approaches us with a snarl until his gaze lands on Lola.

“Lola?”

“Silas.”She nods but her entire body is stiff.

“Why are you here?You left us when we needed you.”Anger suffuses his words and my wolf bristles.

“Watch how you speak to my mate,” I interject, leaning forward as I fight to keep my animal in check.

“Who are...”his words taper off as surprise clouds his features.“It can’t be.”

He staggers back a step before toppling over and landing with his ass on the grass.

An older woman emerges from a nearby house with a bright smile, and I can’t help but smile back.She seems familiar, her scent of clean laundry washing over me.She winks at me before helping Silas to stand.

“Stop overreacting and invite our guests inside.”

“But, Mother...”

“Don’t but me, boy.Alpha or not, I can still whop your ass,” she says, slapping his shoulder.“My grandson is always welcome, as are his friends.”

Confusion swamps me, my wolf receding in my mind.“What are you talking about?”

“You are Liliana’s boy,” she replies.“I know my daughter’s scent anywhere.I knew you would come back.Where is your mother?”

Lola gasps before a hand covers her mouth.“No.”

“What is going on here?’Godrick demands.
