Revenge to the Alpha Mate novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 167

Jacob can you come down? Lily asked through the pack link the witch should be here any minute now

on our way I answered and looked up at the guys "Witch should be here any minute now. We need to get down there."

They nodded and we made our way downstairs to find the others gathered. "So what time did she say she’d be here again"

"5" Lily answered "So about five minutes from now"

"Its always polite to arrive early" A voice echoed throughout the room and we all jerked, tensing as a girl suddenly appeared in the room. She jolted back as growls were directed at her. "Jeez" she said "tough crowd." she laughed genuinely but then turned awkward when no one answered her "okay, so maybe this was a bad idea" A cat emerged from behind her, walking to sit beside her. She glanced down at her and nodded before turning to us "Sorry for appearing like that."

"How did you get here so easily?" Lily asked with narrowed eyes "You can teleport?"

"What? No! Of course not" the witch said "I just cast a spell to make me walk her undetected and deactivated it when I got here." she smiled sheepishly "I’m sorry I should’ve realized that was a bad idea. But I’m used to being with packs that already know me. I forgot how some can be suspicious"

She’s my mate Dave said through the bond Ethan cut her some slack please.

Congrats Lily said even though her expression didn’t change on the outside i’m happy for you.

everyone agreed with her but strangely Jim stayed silent.

"I’ll let this slide" Ethan said "Now sit so we can talk."

The witch immediately nodded and sat down. the cat following her and plopping into her lap. The witch suddenly jerked and clicked her fingers and pieces of papers appeared in her hands. "Oh these are recommendations from packs I’ve helped before" she stated handing them over to Ethan. "You can contact them if you want. I forgot my resume though" she chuckled awkwardly at her attempt at humor and I felt bad for being so rude to her. But we needed to be sure she could be trusted first. Her being Dave’s mate already was a good thing, but being a mate to someone didn’t mean you were a good person.

"Why do you like to help wolves?"

"Oh not all wolves" she said hurriedly before realizing what that sounded like and correcting "I mean...I only help ones that need help or that want to do something good. I don’t help wolves who want to hurt humans or other packs." she explained, petting her cat nervously. The cat huffed and seemed to glare at us "And I don’t just help wolves. I help any creature as long as they have good intentions."

Dave froze and stared at her wide-eyed. He opened his mouth a couple of times to answer her but nothing came out. She giggled and turned to Ethan "He’s cute. Anyway, do we have a deal?"

"I’m going to need to look into those papers and that spell you’re telling me about. But if it checks out" Ethan stated "Then we have a deal." He nodded at her "You can come back tonight and I’ll let you know."

"Oh good" she stood up, her cat jumping from her lap and landing on the ground, and winked at Dave "I guess I’ll see you guys toni-" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"wait" Jim suddenly said, bolting up. He looked pale, shaken and a bit freaked out. "At first I thought it was you too but...you...you’re."

"Jim" Lily murmured wide "is she also your"

"No" he swallowed. Dave stood up, supporting his brother with a hand on his shoulder "I...for some reason. Your cat."
