The Unwanted Mate

Chapter 71

"It's been six days since we're here but they're still not attacking…." David trailed off. "Do you think they're planning something else? "

Niya looked up, a sigh making way past her lips. She gently swirled the wine in her glass before taking a sip. "I thought they would attack soon but I was wrong… Instead, they're taking calculated steps… " She turned around to face the alpha. "They are gathering as many hunters as they can. They know it won't be an easy fight. And also...Victor is an astute hunter… He knows what he's doing, "

"Can Evelyn control her powers now?" Scarlett asked, worry evident in her voice.

Evelyn fiddled with her fingers nervously. Everyone's expectations weighed down on her like a large mountain.

It was making the omega more and more anxious as the days passed by.

"Not fully but she can fight, " Niya nodded.

"She'll do fine, I believe in her, "

"Do you think they'll attack anytime soon? " Josh put his glass down as everyone's attention turned towards him.

"If my assumptions are correct, we have a maximum of three days before it happens, " The witch poured some more wine into her glass.

"Our warriors are always ready. We have our weapons loaded and packed to be used anytime and also, our medical team is there to back us up in case of any accidents, " Keiran proudly announced. "From today on we will train relentl—"

"No," Niya interrupted. "From today on you all will take a rest, " She said, surprising everyone around her.

"What? " Calvin frowned. "This is not the time to rest—"

"It is, Calvin, " The witch smiled. "Everyone needs to rest. I've been here for quite some time and I saw how you guys were training. You were all training so hard for your pack and your loved ones. That's a great thing, but all your efforts will be wasted if you don't rest well, "

"We don't know how long this fight will last. It might be days or weeks. Energy is needed to survive. Get as much sleep as you can. Eat and rest well for the next few days. Clear your mind for the good. That's our last preparation, "

"She's right, " The former alpha added. "Our warriors have been on the edge all these days. I think it's time to let them relax for a bit, "

Keiran thought for a minute before he heaved a sigh. "I think a little bit of relaxing is not gonna make our skills rusty, " The alpha chuckled and turned towards his warriors. "Spend some time with your family and relax for a bit, "

"Yes, alpha! "

They all replied in unison.

"You look troubled, " Keiran caressed his mate's cheek softly, causing her to look up at him.

The alpha could see that Evelyn wasn't thinking anything good. Her eyes showed her fears.

"Are you scared? " He asked, pulling her closer by the waist.

The omega took in a shaky breath. "I-I'm terrified, " Her grip on his shirt tightened. "I'm putting so many lives at risk… I-It's just so terrifying to even think about… "

She looked down. "Those people… I'm not sure if I can fight them, "

"Evelyn, remember you're not doing this alone, " Keiran made her look up again. "We're fighting together. I'm sure we will win. I believe you. You possess so much power. That's why this fight is happening in the first place. They want you because of how special you are so don't ever doubt yourself again, "

"I just don't have a good feeling about it… "

"That's okay. A fight is never good so it's okay to feel that way, " He kissed her forehead softly. "You know, love, I have a lot of plans for when it ends, " Keiran gently hugged the omega.

"Plans? " Evelyn raised a brow.

"Yeah… after all this, I want to take you out on a date, "

The omega blushed red as she heard her mate talk.

"D-Date? "

"Yes, we could eat delicious foods and I would buy you many gifts. We'll go to different places and do fun things until we get tired of smiling and laughing, " The alpha chuckled.

"Can we adopt a cat too? " The omega tilted her head.

"A cat? Do you like cats? "

"I love them! " The girl beamed. "Don't you like them? "

Keiran scratched his neck. "Umm… not really to be honest because you know, cats and dogs hate each other… so it's my instinct to do that. But don't worry, I can do anything for you. Even if it's a cat or a tiger, I'll give you whatever my beautiful wants,"

Evelyn blushed and hid her face in the alpha's chest. She sighed as she snuggled against the warm body.

"I love hugging you," She said out loud, surprising her mate.

"Hmm… really? "

"Yeah, you're so warm and big, " She smiled. "It's so comfortable, "

Keiran's chest rumbled as he laughed. "Then how about we go to bed and cuddle? "

Evelyn looked up, a smile forming on her lips."I like that idea, "

And Keiran didn't wait any longer to pick up the girl and walk towards their bed.

Maybe they might do something more than cuddling today. . .
