---- Theseus I quickly took a shower before getting dressed for dinner and now I am sitting in an armchair in my room, thinking about the events of the day.

If anyone had told me this yesterday morning I would have been in stitches, I never would have believed I would find my second chance Mate today or that I would be adopting my Nephew.

Linus and I still get pissed off thinking about what Damien did to her, but for the most part it has to do with how he did it and then claiming that Penelope is his fated Mate.

Linus was the one that came up with the punishment for Damien and Penelope, because he didnt want to see that conniving female ever again.

Now I am grateful for Linus solution as it will mean that Amarah won't have to face him unless she chooses to face him, If Dad knew I want him gone too.

I say to Linus.

Hell, if he puts up a fight because she is my Mate I am going to send him in Damien's direction.

lam going to show her every single day that I want her, need her and love her, she will never doubt that she is the one for me and Linus.

If anyone gives us trouble I will make sure they know not to mess with me or my Mate, even though I have a feeling she will be capable of doing that all by herself.

Dad will need to leave our floor once we get back, ask Amarah if we can stay in her Pack-house until he is moved out.

I dont want to deal with him anymore and I sure as hell dont want Amarah to deal with him, he will ---- make snide comments every chance he gets.noveldrama

Linus growls.

I know Linus is correct, Mom and Dad will take every chance they get to make it known they dont like her and knowing their history with Amarahs parents I know they will stop at nothing.

However, I will make sure they know the consequences of crossing the line.

Amarah surprised both me and Linus when she asked the Council what we had to do to adopt Joseph, but I heard the sincerity when she said she couldn't hold his parent's actions against him.

Joseph was always more willing to accept something I told him and that goes for my men as well.

If Joseph doubted an answer he got he would ask me or one of my men and he would always take our answer for truth, after all we had no reason to lie to him.

I still remember the day he asked me about fated Mates and looking back I think he suspected something when it comes to his parents.

Damien wasn't too happy he asked me that question directly or that I shot him down when Damien told Joseph they would talk about it in their room.

I think it was his way of trying to control an already unstable situation with his Son, but in the end it backfired as Joseph told him he wanted me to answer his question.

Linus tells me to point this out to Amarah as Joseph will ask her questions, just to see if she would lie to him and I guess it is only fair to give her a heads up on this.

I ---- never thought much about Joseph asking me for answers, but with the knowledge I have now I start to understand a few more things.

Amarah Minerva is still in the dreamy state she has been in ever since Theseus kissed us and I hear her softly sigh as she relives the memory.

I had only kissed one male before Theseus and that had been more of a dare than anything else.

It hadn't been earthmoving or down right awful, but it was nothing compared to what Theseus made me feel.

I had been very reluctant to let him go, but Dad was right when he said we needed to change for dinner.

I think back on the times Mom would complain about Dad not being around or if he had been in long meetings and I think I finally understand just a little of what she felt at those times.

It is almost as if I am incomplete without Theseus nearby, I didnt feel this way when I helped Mom and Delia with clearing the table after lunch.

Maybe it has to do with not being able to hear him or smell him, whatever it is I hope I will have this feeling as less as possible in my life.

lam thinking about the question Eos asked, part of me wants to be with Theseus as much as I can and a small part of me is still scared he might reject me.

I know he is nothing like Damien, but that doesn't mean he won't reject me in private and I think a small part of me fears ---- he might.
