Chapter 8

She hummed, putting a finger to Raven's lips, "Mate... Mate... Mate..."

 Alexander would put her finger on his lips to indicate that she did not want him to explain a word to her; instead, she preferred to use her imagination to come up with a possible meaning.

 *sighs*

She was still unsure of the meaning of the word "Mate" even after the room had been silent for nearly thirty minutes..

"Alexis, I feel like I ought to," Alexander tightened his lips... placing a hand on her lips, she made the sound, "Shhhhhh...am thinking.".

"Look for an interruption," Ramiel suggested..

Yes, he needed to link someone for his rescue.. 

"Who?"

Yes, his friends—he even had to inform them about the new school environment..

"Simon, are you there?" was asked, but there was no reply. "Fuck...Simon... Simon," but there was still no response.

 "When you most need your beta, where the hell is he?"Ramiel asked.

Disregarding his wolf, Raven considered a different companion.

Silence filled the room.

 Indeed, Jeremy, he ought to mind-link Jeremy.

 "Jeremy..." With great anticipation, he called his friend "Jeremy." When he called again, he got silence.

Aarghhhh!!!!!

When he needed them most, where the hell were theyOther than his parents and, yes, Liana as well, but she was not even a member of the pack at the time, these were the only people who had access to his mind.

 With a heavy breath, Raven sighed—it appeared he was stuck.

 "What is up, Raven?" Jeremy inquired.

 Finally!"... Jeremy, I need you in my room right now."

 In less than two minutes, Jeremy showed up. Fortunately, this time, his wolf truly helped, as it ran faster than a cheetah.

 "Aha!" Jeremy grinned as he observed the scene.Once more, Alexander was tormenting her brother.

 "Hello, lovely, how are you?"Jeremy approached the bed with a long gait.

 Alexander had a thing for Jeremy ever since she was a little child. She felt stifled by his presence and leaped off Raven's lap. She blushed at his address, her cheeks burning and her ears piercing.

 Lovely. She enjoyed it when he complimented her appearance; she never grew weary of hearing it from him.

 Alexander was fiddling with the hem of her pink silky underskirt when she thought, "He looks so hot even in the evening."

 Jeremy smirked at Alexander's idea...He was fully aware of how stunning he appeared, but having a young child recognize his beauty added another gem to his crown.

 "Really!"Darling, I look so hot!" The light flared in Jeremy's eyes.

 Raven knew that his sister's thoughts were being read by Jeremy. Since Jeremy's mother was a mermaid, he was able to read Alexander's thoughts. His family was gifted with many abilities, and everyone in the family could read minds quickly and accurately."

 "Two million and three..." Ramiel said.

 Raven laughed at his jealous Wolfie...Ramiel meant that Jeremy did not have to act as though it was his first time receiving praise. Jeremy took a step toward her, stroking her cheekbone with his thumb while luring her with his long lashes.

 "What the hell are you doing?"Raven sent his friend a mental link.

 "What else, Raven? Of course, flirting with my crush," he said, winking at the enraged Raven.

 "Remove your dirty hands from her asshole." Raven shot a glare at him.

 "I should go, Ravy," she said, lowering her head. "Brother Jeremy, may I go?" she timidly questioned.

 Raven widened his eyes at the look on his sister's face.

 "She was not smitten with Raymond?"Ramiel enquired.

 Raven nods.

 "Raymond is someone I need to meet!"

 "Candy, what name is Raymond?" Jeremy asked while feigning anger because he had just heard the name "Raymond" and could read Raven's thoughts. He was curious as to who was going to steal his little crush away from him.

 She mimicked her brother's response, saying, "Raymond is my mate."

 "So....who am I?"While acting grumpy, Jeremy enquired.

 "Well," she said, giving Raven a quick glimpse, "are not you just Ravy's friend?"

 She could not understand; was not brother Jeremy her brother's friend? Alexander pondered.

 Raven let out a fit of giggles, cough, cough.

 In an attempt to control his laughter, Raven said, "Alexis, you should get going now." 

 Was my brother Jeremy envious of my Ray? Having walked out, she thought.

 "Good evening, Alpha." As soon as Alexis disappeared from view, Jeremy bowed slightly.

 Alexander was familiar with her brother, who was a kind and considerate man.When she was around, Raven maintained his composure and modesty because he did not want her perspective to shift.

 "What kept you from responding right away?" He detested being late, especially from Simon and Jeremy, his military men and aides in times of need for protection for the pack.

 "I was tending to my mate," he said, bending down to his right knee and putting his hands in his other. "I apologize, Alpha."

 *Mate*

Fortunate Jeremy....

Raven was aware of the werewolves' fidelity and obedience to their mate..

"Run 250 laps." Raven picked up his sister's hairpin, which she must have forgotten..

He grinned and got up, saying, "Inscrutable are your orders, Alpha." He had anticipated 400 laps at the very least. With a midnight deadline to complete the laps, Jeremy hurriedly made his way to the door..

"Hold on," he said. "Before continuing, mind-link Simon."" 

Raven was too furious to use mind-linking; the moment he laid eyes on Simon, he was going to murder him..

"Hey, Simon...aaaarghh!!!" With both hands covering his ears, Jeremy instantly blocked Simon..

Raven grinned, fully aware of what was happening..

"Scre wing a girl, right?" Raven inquired, merely wanting to be sure..

"Whoa!" Still in shock, Jeremy put his little finger in his left ear and shook his head at the noise, saying, "The girl was fucking loud." "Simon will kill her," he says, shaking his head pitying whichever girl Simon has his d***k on at the moment..

*sighs*

"His beta was fucking," Raven thought to himself. Raven chuckled, "He must have gotten the update then.".
