Hello everyone.
In this chapter, we get the Thane's Alpha point of view. We find out what happened when Nina left. Please read it and share your thoughts at the end.
********
Nina and Thaddeus arrived in California early. As they prepared to exit the plane, Nina had a small panic attack. Over three decades had passed since she left home, what if they resented her returning. Alpha Thane and Madam Alpha Brandy seemed to welcome her, but what if... Nina shook her head to stop the fearful thoughts.
"Baby, I'm here. I promise you I will keep you safe." Thaddeus whispered to his nervous mate. Nina smiled, and sent him a giant mental hug. They exited the plane and entered the airport. It was huge. People were everywhere, and Nina was awed by the sheer size of the place. She looked around and them she saw them: The Thane wolves.
Nina turned and faced the members of her former pack, and in the middle of the two men, she saw her mother. She ran to her; she ran past people that were arriving and leaving. Parents and children gaped at her, as did airport security. Many were confused at first, but by the time she reached her mother, most shared in their joy. Within seconds, she launched herself into her mother's arms. The two women embraced, tears flowing, mumbling incoherent words of gratitude and love. Thaddeus soon joined her, tears streaming down his cheeks as he witnessed his love finally reunited with her mother.
"Son, welcome. I'm Jebediah and this is Clarence. Welcome, welcome to California. Welcome to Thane." Jebediah paused and introduced himself to Nina's mate. "Come with us. We have a van waiting. We are so glad to have you here. This is a great day for our family." The three men gathered the luggage headed to the exit.
Nina held tightly to her mother. Hannah for the second time in her two hundred years defied her alpha. Hannah thought of their earlier conversation.
Two hours before their flight arrived, Michael spoke once again with Alpha Loess, and was now prepared to greet his guest. "Clarence, Nina and her mate will arrive at two this afternoon. I want you to pick them up and bring them here." Michael ordered his most trusted beta and best friend.
Clarence was about to answer when Jebediah spoke. "Alpha Michael, can I go with him? Nina has been gone for a long time. It would be good for her to see a familiar face when she gets here." He suggested. In all honesty, he needed to see his daughter-in-law. He needed to make sure it was really her. Michael, started to protest, Jebediah was Theta, not Beta, and he would normally allow only high ranking wolves to go the places like the crowded airport.
Clarence spoke at this point, and he agreed with Jebediah. Nina might be more relaxed if someone from her family greeted her. So instead of another beta accompanying him, Jebediah would go. Hannah came to the Alpha's office to ask about the time her daughter would be here. Michael gave her their ETA and explained that Clarence and Michael were picking Nina and her mate up. Hannah nodded, and knew she had to go see her daughter. "Alpha, I want to go with them. I won't be in their way. I just need to see my baby." She explained.
"Hannah, you know the rules. I have assigned a set of wolves to meet her. We will alert you when she arrives." Michael explained.
Hannah squared her shoulders and looked her Alpha in the eye. "You won't have to inform me, because I am going with them to greet my daughter. If you want to punish me later, do so. But at two when Clarence and Jebediah go, I'm going with them." She declared.
At first, Michael started the remind Hannah that he was Alpha here, but he couldn't. He hurt her enough decades ago. So Michael Thane, Alpha of the pack simply nodded and said two words, "Yes Ma'am."
Now Hannah held her daughter close, in a crowded airport, in a large city. She was grateful that he allowed her to come. Hannah knew he only tolerated it because he felt guilty and he should. In all the years he had served as Alpha, Hannah never really defied him, until now. This, she swore, would be her last time.
Her daughter was home and safe. She could rest easier now. She thought of her life mate, Amos, and felt a sharp pang. Nina's banishment broke him, but he still respected his alpha and honored his decree. When they were told she and the children perished, her mate lost it. It took Madam Alpha, Miriam and many of the pack members helping her so that she did not follow her mate into insanity.
The small group waited while Clarence brought the van around. It was in this short time that Nina had a chance to speak with Jebediah. "This is the one time I am glad Alpha Michael was wrong. I am so happy you are home Nina. You and your family are home." Jebediah declared. Nina hugged the older gentleman. A part of her hurt that her father passed, but at least her family was still here.
"I'm glad to come home, Papa Jeb. Let's go see our family." Nina declared as she reached for her mate's hand. Clarence pulled up and the women climbed in. Thaddeus helped load the van and soon they were off.
Michael was nervous. Clarence called and informed them that they were on their way back. Michael would face the one woman he wronged egregiously many decades ago. Four decades ago he trusted his brother. His blind trust was the start of over four decades of pain and mistrust in his pack. Today he had a chance to meet Nina and possibly earn her forgiveness and respect.
Love, stop worrying.
Brandy sent.
Michael chuckled.
I'm not worried. My bad decision cost this woman decades of her life without her family. Had I been more vigilant, I should have seen that my brother was unstable. As Alpha that was my job, and I messed up.
he sent.
Come to the bedroom. I want to help you relax.
His mate sent. Michael complied and went to his private chambers. As he entered, her scent bombarded him. She wanted him and he had no desire to refuse his woman.
"Well mate, we have some time before our guest arrive. Let me help relieve your tension" Brandy suggested saucily as she deftly closed their bedroom door and focused her attention on the mate's ever growing cock. Stroking his thick cock, Brandy whispered, "We don't have time to do what I really want, but I can help you relax really quickly."
Gently she shoved her mate to their bed and he sat. She quickly unfastened his belt as she nibbled on his delicious neck. She loved the way her man taste, all spicy and sweet. He was hard as steel, his seven inch cock begged for her attention. Her moth watered, but she didn't have time to indulge. They had to be quick, but later she would taste all she wanted. Kneeling above his body, Brandy spoke to her mate, her lover. "You Michael Thane are a good alpha. You messed up, but you learned from that mistake. I stood with you then, and I stand with you now and forever. She grasped his turgid staff, stroking him in sure slow strokes. She grasped him tightly, and she knew she had to have him. For a few minutes she could take his mind off of his problem and she would. As she stroked his cock, Michael moaned. "Brandy, oh girl I love you." She kissed him. She loved this tall quiet man. He was not the type to be loud, overbearing, but he stuck to his principles.
