Alpha Niall And His Lost Mate

Chapter 16

Different but great.

That was the only sentence that I could use to describe how I felt in that moment. Since my heat two days ago and that wonderful night with Niall, I've never been the same--we've never been the same. I knew what it felt like to be fully mated, and I've never been happier.

The constant assurance that he's mine and only mine was spectacular. I saw a new side of him that I'm oh so excited to meet again once we're back home later. I loved having him with me; it put me and my wolf at complete ease. All in all, I felt complete despite the fact that there was a whole other side of my life that I'm yet to discover.

I had another talk with Victoria and Luka yesterday, just to be sure that I was receiving all the information I can get on my dad. But even after going through all my mom's things again and hearing all the stories mom told Victoria back in the day, I still haven't found anything.

This trip home was supposed to be about being there for Victoria while she recovered, but instead it consisted of me completing the mating process, half discovering a wolf that could potentially be connected to my dad and realizing how much Victoria loves ushering me away to be with my mate.

Luckily, she was much better and so we were going back home today. Niall had a pack to run after all, and even though Asia and Jared had it all under control, the duties of an Alpha were still very important.

I hated that I pulled him away from his work two times now, and I sure won't be doing it again. Yes, I need my mate and it's good having him at my side, but his pack needs him too. And since he's such a young Alpha, people in and out of his pack might begin to question his leadership if he is gone all the time.

If by chance I need to leave again, I'll go alone, even if he insists on coming.

"I'll miss you" I mumbled as I wrapped my sister in a hug. She was able to sit up at the edge of her bed now, so I could push all my love into the hug.

"Meh. I'm sure you'll be back soon. You can't seem to stay away." She joked as she playfully nudged me. I chuckled lightly as I kissed Levi's head before wrapping him and Luka in a hug too.

Luka placed a small kiss on my forehead, something he'd always done since I was a child, so I was pretty much used to it. He made me promise to be safe and keep in touch, as if he had to tell me twice.

Niall and I packed before coming down to the hospital, so we had already said our goodbyes to everyone else at the house. I really got the chance to spend some time with Ashley and Ciara. Even though they're almost the same age as Victoria, they make really good girlfriends.

Everyone seemed happy that I was fully mated, even if they didn't know when it all happened. But all in all, despite the circumstances, it was good to have a trip home. It also reminded me of what I really aimed to achieve when I just turned 18-- find out all there is to know about my dad, become Luna and finally be a hundred percent happy with my mate.

"You okay baby?" Niall asked as we hopped into his car.

"Yea I'm fine. I was just thinking about my dad you know? How much more happier I'll be with you without the constant 'whys', 'hows' and 'what ifs' on my mind"

"Hey we'll find out everything okay? Together" He reassured, holding my hand firmly in his.

I shot him a grateful smile as I leaned in and captured his lips in a kiss. "What would I do without you Niall Wilson?"

"You'd do perfectly fine Queen" He smiled wholeheartedly as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"When you're this great I wouldn't be too sure" I blushed sheepishly as I leaned back in my seat. Only Niall has the power to make me blush like a crazy person.

"Well let's hope we never have to find out"

I giggled as he quickly pecked my cheek before backing out of the pack hospital's parking lot. The drive home was relatively peaceful and nice. We talked about random stuff and sang along to random songs on the radio. The hours felt like nothing, and I was more than stunned when we pulled up to Niall's pack border. I was, however, relieved to be home. I've gotten so used to living in an Alpha house with just three people, that going home to a house of eight was slightly overwhelming.

The moment we pulled up to the house, Asia and Jared came out to meet us. I rolled my eyes as Asia basically flung herself on him, but the minute she detected the change in our scents, I watched in delight as her face fell like hail. It was almost hilarious..almost; I'm more mature than that.

Her eyes darted to me as if I'd just committed the worst ever crime as she basically turned red. She got lost in sight as Jared appeared in front of me and gave me a hug.
