Chapter 41

Alexander's POV

It's been a week since Cole ran away from the council and came to us. I called and informed the council the next day after Cole came to us and explained why they shouldn't take him, and they agreed. So, for now, Cole is staying here with us.

"Alex," Michael peeked into the study room where Dad left me to do some work instead of him, as the future head alpha, while he took a nap.

"Yes, love? What is it?" 

"Sebastian told me something interesting." he closed the door behind him and entered the study. He came in front of me and sat on my lap.

"Someone's being extra affectionate today," I said, wrapping my arms around his waist, and he chuckled.

"You want to hear the interesting thing Sebastain told me or not?"

"Fine, tell me, what is it that he said?"

"He found his mate!" 

"That old man found his mate?" I chuckled. Sebastain was at least thirty and still hadn't found his mate.

"Yeah. He told me he found his mate." 

"Did he tell you who his mate is?"

"Nope, he didn't tell that. He whispered in my ears that he found his mate and ran away like I did with him when I found out that you were my mate."

I was a bit surprised because I thought my Dad was the only one whom he told about me being his mate.

"You told Sebastian that I was your mate? I thought you only told my Dad about me being your mate."

"Sebastian was the one to know because he and I are close. He was and is my best friend."

"YOU HAVE A BEST FRIEND?!" I shouted because I was so surprised, and he just laughed. He fucking laughed "What's so funnt about this?! You never told me you have a best friend! And we have been mates for half a year?"

"It's been half a year?! There's no way the time has gone so fast!"

"Say all you want, but it's the truth," I pecked his cheek. "Now, do you have any other work or gossip?"

"Nope. But can you help me with something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Help me find a-"

"Nope! I am not gonna help you find a beta, that's your work." I picked him up from his arms as I stood and carried him to the study room door. I kept him down, opened the door, picked him up from his arms again, and kept him outside the door.

"Do your own work, old man," and then closed the door on his face. Then I went back to my work, I have to complete it all before Dad wakes up, or else he will kill me.
