CHPATER 11 - THE BROTHER'S ACHIEVEMENT

Diana saw his brother was being congratulated by everyone as soon as the ritual ended. She was expecting to find her mate in the crowd but once again her heart sank. Before she could ponder some more Marcel, Marco and Axelia came to her side smiling.

“Sis! Finally look!” Marcel’s showed his left arm with the branded tattoo.

"Congrats bro! Now you're officially a pack member!" She hugged his brother.

"I know right, now only you and Minerva are left for the ritual and then we will be one big happy pack!" Alexia exclaimed with excitement.

“Yeah looking forward to that too Axelia.” Diana answered

"Oh, by the way you look stunning, I was never wrong in choosing that dress for you my dear." Alexia seems pleased with her appearance.

"Thank you for this dress Axelia, your fashion taste is timeless like you." Diana returned the gratitude.

“You are just as lovely as I imagine dear.” Axelia smiled at her.

“Where is Minerva anyway?” Alpha Marco roamed his eyes.

“Oh she’s inside the library with her friends probably planning to make another messy room.” Diana joked knowing how playful her sister is.

“Probably, but I guess she’s better to stay with the books than to see how the ritual will be made. I don’t want to traumatize her more at very young age.” Axelia said full of concern.

“I agree.” Diana and Marcel replied in unison.

“By the way Marcel, Tyrone told me you met him prior to the ceremony I hope he behaved well." Axelia assumed.

"We did and I think we will get along not just because he is your son and the Alpha but because he is nice too." His brother guaranteed.

"That's great sign, I'm sure you'll be good friends same with Diana and Minerva.” Axelia grinned.

“That we will for sure, he is easy to get along with.” Marcel commented.

“Have you met him too Diana?” Axelia asked.

“I haven’t.” Diana shook her head and tried to hide her excitement.

“Then I guess I will give him a call and let you and Minerva meets him.” Marco seeks their opinion.

"Of course Marco." Marcel agreed.

They were in left on the table and few minutes later Marcel friend’s came to congratulate him but of course they can’t pass the chance on giving Diana a glance. She is wearing another knee length nude dress with a V-neck cut showing minimal cleavage. Her red lips and the red pumps stands out making every guy turned her way.

“Can you please wear my coat? That dress is very enticing to these hungry idiots.” Marco returned with grimace expression.

“I can’t wear that, what do you think Axelia would think eh?’ Diana retorted.

“This is going be a long night I have to keep guarding you instead of enjoying.” Marcel grunted.

“Relax bro, just go and have fun, Charissa will be with me in any minute, so go with them that way their attention will be with you.” Diana bargained.

“Stay here and don’t talk to any guys, got it? Good.” Marcel did not wait for her reply.

Diana was about to go to the food table when she was being blocked by Luna Axelia and Alpha Marco with a worried look. Diana became alerted and hoped that it’s not something serious.

“Everything okay Marco?” Diana probed.

"I can't seem to find my son anywhere.” Axelia was first to talk.

“Yeah, it seems that he put up a barrier to our link or perhaps he is still trying to get use to his Alpha’s access." He sighed.

“Probably he is since its only been three days since he got the title.” Axelia defended with facts.

"It's okay Marco, Axelia I'm sure we will meet him some other time besides Minerva is not here too." Diana felt upset and relief the same time.

"Guess you're right anyway, I'll let you enjoy and talk with the pack members while we get some refreshment." Marco offered his hand to his wife Axelia.

Diana started to feel unwanted by her mate because of the constant missing in action every time there is a gathering. Artemis wanted to find him and ask if he is avoiding her but at the same time they don’t know how to approach her mate. Her thoughts were interrupted when Charissa showed up in front of her and started talking.

"Have you seen and talk to the Alpha closely?" She whispered to Diana.

"I haven't Cha." Diana shook my head.

"Oh gosh!! Those green eyes, blonde hair and his body are a total killer!" Cha made Artemis uneasy with that comment.

"He is just a normal guy Cha what makes him different from the rest?" Diana tried acting cool.

"What?! Are you blind? Don't tell me you didn't see how hot Alpha Tyrone is?" Charissa exaggerated her voice.

"Fine! He is." Diana can’t hide her blush this time.

"See, even you thinks he is one hell of a hunk! Gosh I wish I'm his mate." Charissa bats her eyelashes.

Diana suppressed the growl for two reasons after hearing that claiming because first, she is her friend, and second Charissa doesn't know she is his mate. Instead of getting wired up with that statement, Diana inhaled deeply and calmed Artemis.

"Okay enough of your la la la land I need to check on Minerva, do you want to tag along or you'll stay here?" Diana changed the subject.

"Sure. I haven't seen her for three days and I am dying to hear her stories about fairies.” Charissa says full of sarcasm.

“Yeah right, come on then so you can hear more of it.” Diana teased her more.

During their conversation Diana couldn't shake the feeling that someone is listening to them but she convinced herself that maybe it's just his nosy brother trying to guard her again. Their topic went on how Minerva is coping up with their parents death since the kid only learn about it few weeks ago after she turned eight. For a normal human, an 8 year old is still considered to be kids but in werewolf, they are considered as an adult because their brain is more advance.

“I just hope we are doing the right thing for her.” Diana sighed.

"Bestie you and Marcel are doing great job like most parents do, its only a plus that Luna Axelia and Alpha Marco were there to help you." She squeezed my hand lightly.

"Sometimes it's just hard to raise her but we're glad they show love and care for Minerva." Diana remembered the time that Axelia is not sleeping at night because she was attending to Minerva.

"She is a very adorable and clever girl so it's easy for everybody to love and care for her." Charissa cheered her friend up.

"Thanks Cha, you always knew how to make me feel better when I'm down." Diana hugged her.

"Of course I'm your bestie! Come on let's check the sneaky devil." She pulled away.

"Wait! I need a restroom could you please hold off my brother in searching a patrol for a while?" Diana asked.

"Go on, I'll just go find Marcel and congratulate him." She winked at Diana.

"Thanks I'll be back soon." Diana heads to the hallway.
