24 It’s Time to Act
Calliope POV
I release Anthony and turn to see Oliver’s eyes are ck. “Mate” Anthony says and I smile. Oliver
shifts and runs through the trees. My heart breaks when I see Anthony’s face. I grab his arm “I’ll talk to
him.” I turn back to Carter. “Carter, this is Anthony. He is a friend and can be trusted. I’m going to talk to
Oliver and then I need to speak to you and Abigale.” He smiles and nods. I shift and Aurora takes off
following Oliver’s scent. We reach the training field and Oliver is sitting on the bench. I shift and walk
toward him. His head is resting in his hands. “Oliver” I say his name and when he picks his head up I
can see he is fighting back tears. I sit next to him. “I don’t understand. How can he be my mate?” “What
did you expect your mate to be like?” “A woman” he says. I rub circles on his back. “What qualities did
you hope they would have?” He looks at me deep in thought for a moment before he finally answers. “I
had hoped my mate would be loyal, kind, strong, and funny.” “I know you don’t want to hear this but
Anthony is all of those things. I won’t tell you what you should do, Oliver, because my opinion doesn’t
matter, but I think you should really think about what you do next.”
He looks at me before he pulls me into a hug. I hear a growl and it makes me smile. When I pull back, I
turn to see Anthony with an embarrassed look on his face. “I’m going to give you guys some time to
talk. I need to go discuss things with Carter” I say to Oliver and he nods. I stand walking toward
Anthony. “I’m sorry for growling at you, Calliope.” “You don’t need to be sorry. Go talk to your mate and
be patient.” He nods and walks past me. I head for Carter and Abigale’s cottage. I need to discuss what
Aurora showed me about Bradford and Julie. Thoughts about the pup are whirling around my mind but
I push them aside for right now. I haven’t found my mate and I won’t be having a pup till I do. I reach
the cottage and knock. The door swings open and Abigale is smiling at me. She pulls me into a hug.
“Thank you for being such a good friend to my brother. I know he was shocked, but I know Oliver. He
wants his fated mate.” She pulls back and leads me toward the office. Carter is waiting inside and I
take a seat.
“If you want to discuss Anthony, I’m sure you know that he is wee to stay in the collective whether
he and Oliver ept each other or not. Abigale and I trust your judgement, Calliope.” “That means a lot
to me, but actually I wanted to discuss a vision that Aurora showed me.” They both stay quiet and I tell
them about Bradford and Julie. “I can’t let them suffer for trying to protect me from that ba**ard.” “Of
course not. We will do all we can to help you get them out safely.” “Honestly, I know that Lily offered to
help me should I need it and I’m going to take her up on it. There is no need to put anyone at risk for
this rescue mission. My father will have his day, but for now I just want to get Anthony’s parents out
before those evil f**ks do anything that I can’t undo.” Carter nods and I rub the symbol on my hand, not
even knowing if this will work. After a few minutes, Lily appears in the office. “Calliope, what’s wrong?” I
smile at her concern for me. I know she said we are connected, but she genuinely cares for others.
I exin what my father has done to Bradford and Julie. I also exin how I came to know what has
happened. She smiles “your wolf just continues to amaze me. Let’s see about making things right shall
we.” I stand and take her hand. “You two better be careful” Abigale says in her best mom voice and I
chuckle. We both nod and Lily turns to me. “Picture the cells in the pack in your mind.” I do as she says
and when I open my eyes again, we are standing inside the cell. Just as it was in my vision, Bradford is
holding onto Julie and they both have their eyes closed. I’m just about to turn to him when I hear a
growl. I turn to see a guard trying to find the key to get to us. Lily waves her hand knocking him against
the wall. “Calliope, what the hell are you doing here” Bradford asks. “We are saving you and your mate
from my ba**ard of a father.” They both rush to their feet ande toward us. I hear the door bang and
I don’t need to even look to know who is rushing down the stairs. We all join hands and my father
growls when he sees me. I flip him the bird before I close my eyes. When I open my eyes, we are
standing in Carter’s office. I’m pulled into strong arms “thank you Calliope. You saved my mate and for
that I am forever in your debt.” “You owe me nothing. You were only in the cells because you were
trying to protect me.” When he steps back, Julie wraps me in her arms.
“Is your mother here with you?” “She is and so is Anthony.” She stiffens at my words. She pulls back
with disbelief in her eyes. “My pup is here.” I smile and nod. I’m just about to tell them that he should be
back soon when the office door opens. Oliver walks in first, followed by Anthony. Anthony rushes
toward his parents and I’m d that they are all safe. “Mom and dad, this is Oliver, my mate.” Oliver
walks toward him and takes his hand. I look at Bradford and his face is unreadable. He steps in front of
Oliver and pulls him into a hug. The tension in the room from moments ago fades away. “Wee to
our family, son”, Bradford says before Julie hugs Oliver. I know my father and he will be here soon
enough, but right now I’m going to enjoy my friends and family’s happiness.
Alpha Mateo POV
I’m balls deep in one of the omegas when the guard links me. “Alpha we have a problem in the cells.”
“Deal with it I’m busy.” “A witch is here with your daughter.” I don’t even say a word as I pull out and pull
on my pants. I run at full speed for the dungeon. I’m down the stairs just in time to see them teleporting.
I growl and that little b**ch flips me off. She is going to beg for mercy when I finally get my hands on
her. I’ll break her by using her b**ch of a mother. I turn on the guard who is getting to his feet. “You let
them escape with my prisoners.” “Alpha the witch” he starts to say but I want none of his excuses. I
grab him, breaking his neck. I rush back upstairs to my room to grab my phone. The omega was smart
enough to leave or she would be suffering the same fate as that worthless warrior. I dial that witches
f**king number and she picks up on the second ring. “Get your a** here now” I say without greeting her.
“I’m sorry you must have the wrong number because no one speaks to me that way.” As soon as I’m
done using this b**ch I’m going to rip her a** apart before she can use her magic.
“The prisoners are gone so I need you here.” The call disconnects and she appears in my room. “How
the hell did your f**k ups let them escape?” I growl “my daughter, with the help of a light witch,
teleported them out of the cell.” “Well that interesting.” “Care to share, what is so interesting.” “I’ve been
looking into what witches would have been strong enough to make that protection spell that was
around the collective and it seems that the Nightfire pack has two very strong light witches.” “So what
the hell does that mean you are two weak to go up against them.” She steps into my space “you have
paid me a lot of money but make no mistake you cannot get a refund if you’re dead. I am one of the
strongest ck magic witches on the. I will get some reinforcements because I always deliver on
my deals.” That’s thest thing she says before she disappears. Goddess I’m going to take great
pleasure in ripping her throat out when the time is right.

Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
I can’t believe our pups will be here soon. I keep expecting that ba**ard Grant to attack the pack.
Hopefully, he realizes he is no match for the warriors and witches in our pack. My friends and family are
having a shower for our pup today. I’m so d my mother is here and a part of the nning. She
seems to truly be focused on the time we have together now instead of all that we missed. Strong arms
wrap around me from behind as I look in the full-length mirror. He ces his hands on my belly. We
decided to reveal our pup’s gender during the festivities today. “You look beautiful love.” I turn in his
arms and press a soft kiss to his lips. “Thank you, but you have to say that you did this to me.” He
laughs and I love that sound. “We better get down to the party before our motherse looking for us”
Eli says. He takes my hand leading me downstairs. When we walk into the garden I’m speechless.
There isn’t an area that isn’t decorated. There is huge cake and a smaller one on a table covered in
food. My mother rushes over and wraps me in a hug. “How is my grandpup today?” I chuckle “same as
yesterday, kicking up a storm.”
I look around the tables and our pack members are all here to celebrate with us. I notice that Eudora
and Edita are sitting at the same table with Micah and Mason. They haven’t epted each other yet,
but the girls are opening up and spending more time with their mates. I have faith that they will find the
strength to ept the bond. Larisa and Rose rush toward us. Eli rolls his eyes and I p his arm. “Your
sister and Rose are just excited.” He kisses me before he heads over to where his father, Michael, and
Neal are standing. I was shocked when they agreed to attend the shower, but I don’t think their mates
gave them much choice. “ra, I’m so excited to find out what you’re having”, Larisa says. She wraps
me in a hug. “So what do you two think we are having?” “I think it’s a boy”, Larisa says. “I think it’s a
girl”, Rose says. “I guess it’s time to find out” I say when Amelia calls for Eli and I to join her and
Lincoln. “Thank you all foring to celebrate with the Alpha and Luna as we find out the gender of
the future Alpha of the pack and our grandpup” Lincoln says. He smiles at us and we cut into the cake
together. When I see the pink cake my world stops. We are going to have a daughter.
