He is right, but I already knew killing him wouldn't help the situation.
"What if your sisters want to find their fated mates?" I ask.
"Please, Magnus, we all know you're a catch and going to be one of the best, and strongest Alpha's in the land, and with a pure white wolf, any she-wolf would give their fated mate up in a heartbeat,"
"I need time to consider this. At least give me that?"
"Fine, I will inform my father and Addison of the proposal in the meantime and that you will consider it, but I won't mention Nina's little curse to them… for now, anyway," he smirks.
"Let's go home." I say to everyone.
We return home and meet in Nina's bedroom.
"We need to all brainstorm a way out of this. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to have a mateship with Addison,"
Everyone nods as my mother knocks on the door.
"Time for dinner, everyone," she yells.
"Okay," we shout back.
We all walk downstairs and join our parents for dinner.
"I hope you have been taking it easy today, sweety?" Amelia asks Nina.
"Of course, Mother," she forces a smile.
"You lot are extra quiet tonight," Ryker says.
"It's just been a long weekend, Dad. After all, it was my wolf ceremony, and Nina was in a car accident,"
"That's true. Seth was able to speak with Moss today," he says. We all give each other a surprised look and stare back at my dad to speak, "He had some cuts and bruises, but otherwise, he is fine. Moss said Nina and him left the ceremony of their own will as it was too much for Nina to watch Magnus shift. When he saw he was being chased and attacked by your Magnus, he freaked out, causing the car to crash. Moss knew you were only there to bring harm to him and not Nina, hence why he left Nina, knowing she would receive immediate care. He thought it best to flee for his safety and to not take the need for medical attention off Nina by him being there,"
"Well, that explains that," Astrid says.
"Are you saying that Magnus is the one that put my daughter in danger and not Moss?" Leon growls and glares up at me.
The room goes silent. Nina tries to speak, but the words don't come out.
"I would never intentionally put Nina in danger. She was supposed to be there while I shifted, and Moss wouldn't allow her to stay,"
"Even so, Magnus, that's no reason to hunt someone down! The car accident would never have happened if you never went after Moss in the first place," Leon growls.
"If Moss hadn't taken her away from me, it would not have happened," I growl.
"Magnus, you will soon be the Alpha once you find your mate. Your selfishness and recklessness have me worried that you might jeopardise this pack,"
"You bet. I can't wait to meet my wolf and start my search for my lifelong mate," Zak smiles.
"Yeah, I'm excited to meet my wolf and be able to join in on hunts and border patrol duties. I feel nervous and on edge about meeting my mate, though," Nina says.
"Why so nervous about it, sweety?" Amelia asks.
"I don't know why mum," she whispers and momentarily glances my way.
"Not to worry, sweety. I'm sure whoever your mate is will treat you like a Queen,"
"Thanks, Mum." Nina smiles.
The following day, I get ready for school as I step outside the front. I'm face to face with Alpha Mason, who seems rather happy.
"Good morning, Alpha Mason,"
"Magnus, I was hoping to have a quick private chat with you?"
"Um, sure," I say. We walk towards the trees, away from the packhouse.
"My son Hank came to me with wonderful news last night that you would highly consider choosing Addison as your future mate and Luna? I had to ask you if you were serious about this?"
I do not want to be with Addison at all. I want to be with my fated mate and keep Nina safe from harm's way, but I can't tell him that. But I think I know how to give myself more time to meet my fated mate.
