CHAPTER 31 - THE WOLF SIDE

After Diana threw him off to the ground he saw how powerful his mate can be without her realizing it. The way her eyes were blazing and how far he got thrown out was something he wasn’t expecting to see. Tyrone can tell that Diana’s abilities are starting to unleash when she use her emotions.

"Who is that bitch Ron?!" Agatha gets pissed and Tyrone absentmindedly growled.

"She's my mate and Owen hates it when someone insults her." Tyrone rationalized.

“Oh… sorry if I knew.” She apologized.

“It’s okay you don’t know her.” Tyrone is now standing up.

“You sure have a feisty mate, good for you Ron-Ron." She smirked.

"Is that an insult or a compliment? A while ago you're on my side now you're mocking me? May I remind you that I am your cousin and you need to defend me no matter what?" Tyrone fixed my clothes.

"I just love to see how the almighty Alpha can easily be defeated by his mate." She giggled.

"Yeah, a mate that you always say will make you weak.” Agatha reminded him.

“Actually it’s the other way around, I realized that I need my mate for us to be stronger to lead the pack.” Tyrone corrected his own perception.

“In that note, what do you plan to get her back? From your position right now it doesn’t look good you know.” Agatha asked.

“I don't know but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get her back. She needs to know I'm sincere with all the words I said and made her see that I regret everything I did.” Tyrone sighed.

“What exactly you have in mind?” She asked.

“I don’t know to be honest but I can go for mile just to lessen the anger/hatred she has towards me.” Tyrone sounds desperate.

“So you are really willing to do whatever it takes?” His cousin seems to be having a cunning plan.

“Of course as long I can get her trust and her affection back.” Tyrone eagerly answered.

“If you're really serious of winning her back I can help you in one condition --" She stopped midway.

"If it involves you driving my babies then no, Uncle will kill me if I allow you to drive—it was his rules from the day you stepped a foot inside the pack house." Tyrone read her mind too well.

"Come on, I'm almost eighteen and practically your only help with Diana." She haggled.

Tyrone thought of her proposition that can help him with Diana, he though since Agatha is also a woman maybe it's easier for her to talk and convince her.

"Fine but I'm telling Uncle about it and I will be coming with you I'm sure your Dad will agree if I’m going with you - it's a win-win situation." Tyrone finally agreed.

"Weeee!! Thanks Ron-Ron!!" She hugged Tyrone.

"Okay easy Bug. Let's head to dinner hall Mom just sends off a mindlink that the food is ready.” Tyrone grabbed her elbow.

“Your mate will be there right?” Agatha assumed.

“Yeah so you better start with your helping skills." Tyrone stretched out the last two words.

As soon as they entered the dining area, they saw Diana with a dim facial expression and ignored their presence unlike everyone does on the table. Tyrone can't tell if she's angry because he is with Agatha or because he is joining them for dinner.

'I think our mate is jealous because you're with Agatha. Didn't you notice her reaction?' Owen brought the idea.

'I don't know do you really think she still have feelings for me?' Tyrone became giddy somehow.

'Maybe you still have chance to win her back. Artemis doesn't hate me just you so meaning it's only her human side that you need to work out.' He informed me.

'Then what do you suggest? It's not like we can talk to her again she doesn't want to be near me.' Tyrone seats on the chair across his mate.

'Ask Agatha she practically gave you the answers.' His wolf suggested.

'Thanks for the help Owen.' Tyrone mocked his wolf before closing their conversation.

The dinner was prepared with a mixture of Greek and English food since both parties love them aside from the three siblings who are not familiar with Greek food. Marco was sitting as the head of the table while Axelia is at the other end of the table across her husband. Marcello and Paloma are sitting on the right side together with Marcel, Minerva and Diana whereas Agatha is now across Marcel beside Tyrone,

"Now that everyone is here I would like to introduce Diana since she wasn't here last week because of the circumstances." Marco started looking at Diana directly.

"Ah you are my nephew's mate who was missing. It's true you're beautiful as Tyrone told me so; I'm Marcello; this is my wife Paloma and our daughter Agatha." Tyrone’s Uncle was first to introduce his family.

"Nice to meet you, thanks for the compliment I guess." Diana blushed.

Tyrone did not miss that reaction and it was giving him the “hot seat" but of course he cannot show everyone how it affected him so he just stayed silent.

"It's the fact Diana I don't know why Tyrone has rejected you as his mate because from the way I see it you're kind and courteous." His Aunt Paloma voice out without a break.

"Mom, I think it's not appropriate to talk about it." Agatha saved her cousin.

"Can you pass the rice please? I’m already staving and you forgot that I am still a kid that needs to be feed.” Minerva chipped in and it was like an ice breaker for everyone.

“Right sorry, Mini.” Marcel handed the bowl of rice to her.

“I know it’s bad to listen to people talking but what does rejected means?" Minerva is attentive to all their conversation.

"It's a special friend you will meet when you already shifted on your wolf form.” Axelia speaks for everyone.

“Oh can I meet that special friend at school tomorrow? Is she a girl or a boy?” Minerva excitedly replied.

“You have to be at the same age like your sister to your brother to meet that special friend of yours. If you’re not lucky like us, then you sometimes you need to wait longer because." Paloma explained this time.

“Oh then it’s a boy.” Minerva nods in understanding.

“Yeah, he is.” Axelia answered with affirmation.

“I hope he will be nice and like me.” Minerva commented with hopes.

“Of course he will like you because you’re smart and adorable person.” Axelia cooed her.

“Every mate is nice because they will be your special person that you can depend on.” Paloma supported her statement.

“I don’t understand if mate are nice then why you dislike my sister Alpha?” Minerva looked at Tyrone with confusion.

“Mini, stopped asking questions and just eat okay?” Diana suddenly speaks.

“I ‘m just curious Dee since you are the best sister in the whole world so I don’t know why you will be rejected?" Minerva is still on roll with her question.

Everyone turn their eyes on Tyrone and this time it's like a cold shower hits him that he just want to be swallowed by the ground because of the embarrassment he felt. For a five year old, Minerva is too smart to think of something as complicated as their situation.

"Sometimes you made mistake but the important above all is you learned from it and you are ready to accept the consequences of your actions and make sure to do it right.” Tyrone prayed his mate felt the sincerity of his words.

“So you mean you don’t dislike my sister?” Minerva grilled him further.

“I admit I did before but I realized that I like your sister, a lot." Tyrone confessed in font of everyone while looking at Diana.

Meanwhile Diana pretended eating and didn’t bother to give any side comments of what she heard. She just focused on her plate but Tyrone can tell she is talking with her wolf based on her facial expression. She looked embarrass, strained and gratitude while Marcel held her hand for comfort.

'Thank you for saying those kind words Tyrone.' Marcel sent a mind-link to him.

'Welcome Marcel.' Tyrone gave a curt nod.

"Why don't we all continue eating before the food gets cold?" Axelia managed to change the mood of the conversation.

When the dinner was over, Diana was the first to leave the table with Minerva followed by the two couples leaving Marcel and Tyrone.

"Tyrone, I know you're trying to get into my sister’s good side so I will give you some pointers about her. She might be tough on the outside but I know her too well, so please bear with her stubbornness and don't give up on her yet, she needs you." Marcel tapped his shoulder.

"I don't plan on giving up what’s mine Marcel, I already made the mistake and I'm not doing it again. I'm willing to wait for her to forgive me, but why are you telling me this?" Tyrone wondered.

"Because I've seen how worried you are when she was gone, you were too focused on finding her that you rarely get sleep. I also noticed that you care so much about her well-being now and not about yourself, I hate to say it but you got my approval to get my sister back." Marcel consented finally.

"Thanks Marcel for seeing that I just hope she does too. I really need all the help I can to get her back." Tyrone patted his back.

"Pleasure to help Alpha, we can discuss this tomorrow so she won’t be hearing any of this otherwise I’m dead.” Marcel chuckles.

“Sure, I'll see you tomorrow goodnight." Tyrone bids goodbye.

After their brief interaction, Tyrone doesn’t feel like going to bed yet so he went to the backyard and decided to run. Tyrone stripped his clothes and tied the boxer on his knee before shifting to his wolf form. He took the direction going to the forest since there is a lake that he likes to go too. Inside the forest, his senses were highlighted when he smell a faint smell. He convinced himself that it was just an imagination since Diana is probably resting.

'Artemis is her!” Owen barged giddily.

‘Are you sure?” Tyrone asked for confirmation.

‘Yes! Our mate is here idiot.” Owen hissed playfully.

'I thought I'm just dreaming since we always smell her?' Tyrone said.

'They are here – somewhere, come on let’s follow their scent quick!' Owen demanded.

They reached the lake where Tyrone usually spend his day thinking of his mate, to his surprise Diana is there staring at the sky. Her grey fur is shining like the moon that reflects on the water. Tyrone was mesmerized and began walking towards her without noticing he already reached her side. Diana felt his presence the moment he stepped his foot so she made a run but Tyrone shifted back on his human form and caught her just in time.

"Please don't run away from me, stay just for a minute.” Tyrone begged her.

“Grr.” Diana only answered with a growl and didn’t even shift back to her human form.

“If you don't want to talk it’s okay I'll just shift back so you won't be uncomfortable." Tyrone offered.

Since they haven't marked each other they wouldn’t be able to mind link if either one of them is in human form. Diana saw Tyrone’s pleading eyes so she stopped on her tracks and just as Tyrone thought she will listened but she run instead.
