Landon did not like how his mates talked to him, mostly what Mika said. She said their borders were practically screwed up. So, he found himself contacting, his father using the mind link.
"Dad, did you feel there was an intruder on the territory today?" He asked his father.
"No son. Why do you ask?" Reese replied with caution. Landon became concerned. If Mika was right. Didn't this mean they were in danger and could be blindsided by the enemy? "How about the patrol? Did they report any intrusions?"
"No, they didn't. Landon, what is going on? Did someone get hurt?" his father asked urgently.
"No dad, someone went in for a run and it was the whole day. No one noticed or felt it, how is that even possible? She said our borders patrol are a joke and weak. I saw her coming from the woods dad."
Landon was confused and worried now, how can this be possible?
Who was Mika? How come no one realised she was in the territory?
The questions kept on coming but he had no answers. It was driving him crazy and he felt like he was going to explode. It was seriously not good for his health, the frustration was too much.
"I am not sure what is going on Landon, but who is this "She" you're talking about?"
"Mika"
This was all he said to his father before he broke the connection. He was nothing but a confused puppy. The discovery was alarming and concerned the well beings of his pack members. If she can roam around that long without being spotted. How many have done the same?
Was there a snitch in their pack? He did not like where his thoughts were trailing but he couldn't stop but wonder...
Mika could feel her mate was furious. 'Arrogant, much' note the sarcasm. She loved to tick her mates off, but Landon seriously needed to do something about the patrol. She also needed to speak with the current alpha, her father in law.
Mika knew they had the perception of the Alpha position shall be passed to the young son. However, this was not happening. The Vampire kingdom and the Dark Moon Pack were to become one, and they will be the most unique pack to ever exist.
The Kingdom of vampires, wolves and humans.
***
So, Mika headed for the packhouse. She was surprised the guards and pack members stupidly did not find her suspicious or see her as a threat. How arrogant can this pack be? Or were they just ignorant?
She found Alpha lounging with his 'supposedly wife' having the forced quality time. Reese did deserve some rest, according to her uncle a lot has been happening in town recently. She also could hear his grievances since Sebastian was in town.
He called him 'the' leecher.
Reese wanted to find a way to tell Linda, Landon found his mates. The shocker part is him being mated to a vampire king, he was certain she was going to Freak. She might even refuse to accept this and make his son reject the King or any mate at that.
"Linda dear, Landon found his mates," Reese said to his so-called mate.
He felt like puking when he called dear, but there was no other choice. He had to endure the torture and humiliation for her, his real mate.
"What? Really?" there was a pretentious smile on her face. But she did not fail to notice the dissatisfaction on Reese's face.
"What is wrong? If he found his mate shouldn't you be happy?" She asked filled with curiosity. This might be a chance to find another ally. If this mate saw the disdain on Reese's face or came to know of it, they might be resentful towards him.
This was going to be a reward for her, achieving her goals would be a walk in the park.
"One of his mates is Sebastian Knight, the Vampire King"
"WHAT? NO. NO." She exclaimed in anger.
How dare, did that no good for nothing leech, claim her son? And what did he mean mates? That leech was ruining things for her, she will never allow it.
"My son will not be mated to that leech. Do you hear me? Landon will reject that old bastard," she heaved in anger.
Reese looked at her with a condescending look and he found her a very selfish being. Of course, she would react this way, her plans would be ruined with Sebastian being a son in law.
"I will not approve of this mating, not as long as I live," she said with a hiss.
No one will ruin this for her, even if it was at Landon's happiness. She will not allow it, not as long as she was still alive and kicking. Her name wouldn't be Linda.
"Well, isn't it just awesome he does not need your approval? I mean it's his mate and his life. How do you get to decide for him?" said a voice behind them.
They turned around in alarm and found themselves frozen in shock. The girl was alluringly beautiful, however, her eyes were another story. They were dead, the cold in them made even the strongest person get chills.
"Who the hell are you?" asked Linda rudely.
Mika ignore Linda's question and outburst but complained about the weak patrol of the pack.
"You have a shitty patrol, I am not sure if it is just arrogance or all of you are just so weak you cannot detect danger in your lands," she said blankly and bluntly.
"Excuse me, young lady. I do not appreciate the tone of your voice and your disrespect," said Reese, but deep inside he knew that something was wrong with their pack. Even now he still cannot feel her presence but she was there standing in front of him.
The aura the girl had was ridiculous. How can a girl so young be that powerful?
"Oh? Looks like you have a mole in your stead. Someone sure did a number on this pack, be glad I am here now. Otherwise, you wouldn't know how the enemies got you. Fear not, I will not allow anyone to harm you." She said with finality in her voice.
"I came to speak with you about Landon's position in this pack. I figured since he never showed any interest in becoming a leader, and now having 3 mates, you might pass the ruling to your youngest." This was a matter of fact. The Alpha was puzzled by the accuracy of her assumptions.
"And who might you be? Why would you care?" asked Reese.
Linda was looking at the girl with an intense glare. She felt a sense of arrogance from this child. This did not sit well with her. She was the only one allowed to have that opposing manner.
"Mika." Realization dawned on Reese, this is one of his son's mates. She was a beauty, by the looks of it, very dominant too.
An Alpha perhaps?
"And you want the rule to be Landon's? Why is that?" he asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Mika asked with a bored tone.
"Well, I am curious about your intentions. How am I to know you have good intentions or bad ones?" Reese said.
Linda was confused now with the talk, she was oblivious to the coding they were doing.
"Relax Mr Moon, I wouldn't do anything to you. After all, you welcomed my uncle Damien with open arms after those damn rogues did a number on him." Gasped Linda, so this is the mysterious niece.
That Damned Damien was middle and now his niece. She was so angry about this discovering, she felt like pulling out her hair.
"Damien's niece?"
"Yes, I am Mrs Moon. By the way, I understand the intense hate you have for vampires. It is the same feeling I have for rouges, but it still doesn't mean all rogues are the same and the saying goes for vampires too," Mika said all of this whilst looking straight into Linda's eyes.
"What is your point?" asked Linda with attitude.
Mika chuckled, yet there was no tendency in her eyes.
"My point is, my mates ain't going to reject each other. Not in this lifetime. So, you just have to accept the fact your son is mated to a vampire. As I said, he doesn't need your approval." said Mika with no room for argument and Linda was in shock.
So this is what Reese meant when he said, mates. She thought he made a mistake or she heard incorrectly. So, Landon has more than one mate.
"That being said, this goes for the alpha position as well. He will be what he was born to be, to lead this pack." she had a smirk on her face when she said this.
"He loves using his position to threaten people, me included." Chuckled Mika. "Arrogant prick," she remembered the 'I am alpha and stronger than you' statement he made earlier.
After she said that, they heard a commotion outside, this amused Mika.
"And a drama queen it seems." Reese couldn't help but laugh. This daughter in law seemed to like teasing his son.
"What the hell are you doing here?" asked an annoyed voice behind Mika.
"What does it look like?" she asked with a cold voice, not turning to face him.
"Well, you are not wanted here. So, do us all a favour and leave," he said with anger in his voice. But after saying those words to her, he regretted them instantly. However, his pride prevented him from apologising.
"Is that supposed to hurt my feelings?" asked Mike with a nonchalant voice. "You need to work on your anger, others may take your words seriously. Your pride stinks by the way," Mika preached with a bored toned voice.
