As much as I love to stay with my beautiful mate, I had to deal with my cousin- Joey.

Joey is 24 year old, he was the beta of my pack, but he started acting like a total douchebag when his needs and interests took over, and stopped caring for his own pack.

Then he met his selfish mate and things started deteriorating with us, and she was his final whisper to turn against us and aim for the Alpha's title.

I, of course, didn't let that happen. With the time, a war was waged against us. A war against his mate's pack- The Silver pack - and my powerful pack - The Graymod pack - eventually, we won after I gave him the big scar, that Stella saw on his neck. That was last year.

Now he's back for revenge.

If he knew that Stella is my mate, then I have to take him down. And I'm 90 percent sure that he already knows.So I'll do whatever I can to protect her innocent soul and tiny body.

I didn't realize that I was so engrossed with my own thoughts, when I saw my parents' house.

I pulled over, got out of the jeep and headed to the front door.

It's 5:39 am but I'm sure that my parents are awake, because they love to run at 4:30 for an hour every day, so they should be here by now.

I knocked on the door and waited until my mom opened it and greeted me with her soft, heartwarming smile.

" Good morning JoJo, what brings you here, this early in the morning? " my mom asked, confused but not in a rude way.

She can't be rude, even if she wanted to. She's too nice.

I frowned at her nickname, she always calls me JoJo whenever she's happy- which is most of the time- but now is not the time to complain about it.

My mate is way more important.

" Good morning mom, is dad here?" I asked after I gave her a tight bear hug.

I love my mom.

How can I not when she's the one who brought me to this world and gave me the chance to met my mate?

" Yes dear, he's eating his breakfast " she replied and we entered.

I walked through the house till I reached the kitchen. The smell of my mom's famous waffles filled my nostrils. I got hungry all of a sudden.

I saw my dad, sitting on his usual seat, eating those mouthwatering waffles.

" Good morning dad " I greeted, he looked up and smiled at me.

" Good morning Julian, want some? " he offered, and I couldn't say no to this heavenly flavors.

No one could.

" You don't have to tell me twice" I sat besides him and started chewing. Mom sat across from us.

" So, what brings you here this early in the morning? Is it to eat those waffles? " he asked humorously and I laughed.

I shook my head." No, I came here for a serious matter. I'll tell you when we finish eating"

" Mom, dad...Yesterday, I found my mate " I dropped the news and waited for their reaction.

Mom had the brightest smile ever and dad was content, he had a smile on his sweating face.

I guess he hasn't gotten the chance to take a shower, since I came, unnoticed.

She stood up " That's great JoJo, what's her name? Describe her for me" Mom got excited. Too excited.

I smiled remembering her every small feature." Well, her name is Stella and for as much as I know, she's human. She has dark black wavy beautiful hair, grey eyes that can pull you in her own world and you can get lost there for hours. Her skin is flawless and it's so smooth. She is small ,which is perfect for me. I feel like she needs my protection and her voice is so sweet ,when ever she speaks ,I hear her voice as an angelic melody." I explained sighing with satisfaction and happiness.

My parents looked genuinely happy and interested in her.

" Well son, she sounds kind and I wish you all the best with telling her that you are a werewolf. " Dad patted my shoulder.

He can be very mean without him noticing.

" Yes, finally. I can now rest in peace,knowing that my dear and only son has found his mate. I want to meet her" mom exclaimed and I nodded without a second thought.

" Well, that's what I was hoping for you to ask, because I need you to stay with her for the day. I need to talk to dad about Joey. " As I said his name, they turned from happy to serious and angry.

Mom nodded and dad nudged me to follow him, to his office.

" Don't worry Julian, I'll stay with her. Can we go shopping? " Mom asked and I nodded.

" Yes, actually... she needs new clothes because... I didn't basically meet her like a normal person. " I said averting any eye contact.

What should I say?

My mate was abused?

' Yes ' Peter decided to make an appearance and comment. His unnecessary comment.

'You shut up ' I replied then blocked him without giving him the chance to protest.

" What do you mean ? " Dad asked and I told them everything really quick, how she was abused by her own brother, her only family.

My dad got furious and my mom looked like she wanted to break something, maybe her brother's bones and spine.

" That creepy, abusive, jerk, he will not lay a hand on her, if I ever see him oh he's so gonna get it. Bye for now " Mom reassured me then headed to her car and took off at full speed.

She was a car racer.

And now, she's... still a car racer.

Cool, right?

She just race when she feels bored. In addition to that, she's a strong warrior. Means, she can fight 5 strong men at the same time. I can count on her for my mate's safety.

" Now, Julian. Shall we get your beta - Cody and the pack's warriors? " he asked and I nodded in a firm manners.

" Let's go "
