24 It’s Time to Act
Calliope POV
I release Anthony and turn to see Oliver’s eyes are black. “Mate” Anthony says and I smile. Oliver shifts and runs through the trees. My heart breaks when I see Anthony’s face. I grab his arm “I’ll talk to him.” I turn back to Carter. “Carter, this is Anthony. He is a friend and can be trusted. I’m going to talk to Oliver and then I need to speak to you and Abigale.” He smiles and nods. I shift and Aurora takes off following Oliver’s scent. We reach the training field and Oliver is sitting on the bench. I shift and walk toward him. His head is resting in his hands. “Oliver” I say his name and when he picks his head up I can see he is fighting back tears. I sit next to him. “I don’t understand. How can he be my mate?” “What did you expect your mate to be like?” “A woman” he says. I rub circles on his back. “What qualities did you hope they would have?” He looks at me deep in thought for a moment before he finally answers. “I had hoped my mate would be loyal, kind, strong, and funny.” “I know you don’t want to hear this but Anthony is all of those things. I won’t tell you what you should do, Oliver, because my opinion doesn’t matter, but I think you should really think about what you do next.”

I haven’t found my mate and I won’t be having a pup till I do. I reach the cottage and knock. The door swings
“I can’t let them suffer for trying to protect me from that ba**ard.” “Of course not. We will do all we can to help you get them out safely.” “Honestly, I know that Lily offered to help me should I need it and I’m going to take her up on it. There is no need to put anyone at risk for this rescue mission. My father will have his day, but for now I

back with disbelief in her eyes. “My pup is here.” I smile and nod. I’m just about to tell them that he should be back soon when the office door opens. Oliver walks in first, followed by Anthony. Anthony rushes toward his parents and I’m glad that they are all safe. “Mom and dad, this is Oliver, my mate.” Oliver walks toward him and takes his hand. I look at Bradford and his face is unreadable. He steps in front of Oliver and pulls him into a hug. The tension in the room from moments ago fades away. “Welcome to our family,
Alpha Mateo POV
I don’t even say a word as I pull out and pull on my pants. I run at full speed for the dungeon. I’m down the stairs just in time to see them teleporting. I growl and that little b**ch flips me off. She is going to beg for mercy when I finally get my hands on her. I’ll break her by using her b**ch of a mother. I turn on the guard who is getting to his feet. “You let them escape with my prisoners.” “Alpha the witch” he starts to say but I want none of his excuses. I grab him, breaking his
