My Little Mate by Shivani Sharma (good beach reads .TXT) 📕

We walk inside the pack house with the Omegas following us with the tray full of gifts covered with clothes as Torak sees us coming inside the house. He excuses himself from the guest and walks towards us. 

"Congratulation, Torak," we said to him and shook hands with him. 

"Thank you, guys," Torak said while smiling at us. 

"So, did you guys find out the gender of the baby by now?" I ask Torak. 

"No, we have kept it as surprised. We will reveal it today," Torak said to us with a big smile on his face. After talking for some time, mom and I walk towards Stella to meet her. She was sitting on the couch and talking with her new friends. 

"Congratulations, Stella, one more month to go, and the baby will finally be going to be here, huh," I said and hugged her. 

"I know, right. I can't wait for it to come out already," Stella said while smiling and caressing her stomach.

"So how does it feel to carry a life inside your body?" I ask her while helping her sit on the couch.

"It feels great, even if the morning sickness and mood changes are horrible. But Torak was a very patient and a fantastic mate. Talking about baby, you and Cole haven't completed the mating process, right. You guys have already marked each other. You guys should already have completed the matting process by Now. Then what is taking so long to complete it? "Stella asks me, and I become speechless. If I answer honestly, I never thought about it. Just as I open my mouth to change the subject, one of her friends comes to her and saves me from answering her question. 

As I wondered about Stella's question, Cole calls me to introduce me to some new Alpha and Luna who was not present at my 18th birthday party and last alpha meeting.

"Ladies and gentleman, may I have your attention, please. It's time to reveal the gender of the baby, for that I want all of you guys to gather around the cake so that we can remove the cover and reveal the gender of the baby," Torak said, and an Omega comes with a trolly, with a white two store cake on it. Torak helps Stella from getting up from the couch and walk towards the trolly. They cut the cake together and look at the inside of the cake. And it has blue color icing inside the cake, so that means that they were going to have a son.

"It's a boy," Torak yelled in happiness and fed the cake to Stella, and she fed Torak. After that, the Omega took the cake away from there to cut it and distribute it to the guest. One by one, everyone goes to the couple and congratulates them again. Then there was a gift-opening ceremony, and some dance performance was done by Stella friends and by all the family members.

After some time, Omegas make arrangements for dinner and expect our family and Stella's in-laws, everyone left for home. I walk outside of the washroom while drying my hair air, and get inside the cover, and tried to fall asleep. But I can't fall asleep. The question which Stella asks during the baby shower is still bothering me.

 With much difficulty, I remove a heavy arm of Cole from my body and walk inside the kitchen and take out the jug of orange juice and drink the juice to calm myself while thinking about what Stella has asked me during the baby shower. It is a time like this I miss my parents most, to share things like this with my mother. Even Rose is like a mother to me. I feel embarrassed to talk about this to her. 

Now that I think about it, my and Cole's relationship is like a child and a guardian. I mean, he practically grows me up. Besides, it was not me who takes control over my body and mark him. Kiyara did it, and having that kind of relationship with your guardian feels gross.  

"But he was our, mate. We are made for each other," My wolf said to me with an irritating growl. 

"I know that, but still," I said to her. Kiyara was about to say something but was interrupted by mom.  

"Why are you not sleeping in your room? Is something bothering you? You can share everything with me. You know that right?" mom asks while walking inside the kitchen with an empty jug in her hand. 

"I know that, but it was embarrassing," I said while playing with a glass in my hand to avoid facing her. 

"It's okay. You can talk with me about it. I won't judge you or laugh at you, you know," She said while taking a seat beside me and taking one of my hands in her hands to comfort me. I sigh and decide to share it with you. 

"Mom, you won't mind if I ask you a personal question, right?" I ask her, and she nodded her head.  

"Of course not. What is it?" Mom asks. 

"How did you and dad complete the mating process? I mean, did guys get into it, like Stella and Torak directly or date at first then mate with each other?" I ask her while looking away from her. 

"It's okay if you don't want to answer my question," I said to her while still avoiding looking at her. 

"Well, Mike and I were childhood friends, both of our parents were alpha of the packs, and we were also hoping to be mates, and on !8th birthday party he realizes that I was his mate, but I was 17 years old by then, so we decided to wait until I turn 18, then on my 18th birthday party after cutting the cake. We sneak out of the party and mate with each other. But why are you asking this?" mom asks me. 

"At the baby shower, Stella asks me when I am going to mate with Cole, and If I would be honest, I never have thought about that until now, and when I think about it, I am worried if I ever able to mate; with him? What if I wasn't ever able to mate with him? Will he reject me? Will he find someone else's to give birth to the future alpha of this pack?" I said to her and started panicking when thoughts like this began to come to my mind. I can't be able to live with thought without Cole in my life or seeing him with someone. 

"Hey, hey, calm down. Nothing like this is going to happen in the future. I can understand where you are coming from; I can understand that you are not ready to get intimate with Cole yet, and it's okay. Take your time, okay. Besides, it was not possible for Cole to have a child with someone else because only his true mate can get you pregnant or carry your child. Besides, it was not like jumping straight into it, like Stella or me. It will like happen in a spiral of the moment, that you lost in the moment and did it with him." mom said while smiling at me. 

"What do you mean by that?" I ask her. 

"You will know by yourself when the right time comes. Anyway, you should go back to your room now. Otherwise, Cole would get worried if he didn't find you sleeping beside him. Also, don't think or worry about it too much, okay." mom said, and after filling the jug with water, she goes back to her room. 

With a sigh, I get up, wash the glass and walk to my room, and with mom reassurance, I finally able to peacefully. 

(Nikki P.O.V)

After two days, we have an alpha meeting with other alphas in the world and the werewolf community's council members. Almost 90% of the alphas and council members agree to form a permanent alliance between werewolves and vampires. That 10% were the people with old traditions and had old ways of thinking that the vampires and werewolf will never become friends.

They have asked me the same questions asked by the vampires, so it didn't take much time to decide. After that, we decided to meet again with the vampires and form permanent alliances with them. 

After dinner, I called Ryan and fixed the meeting date, one week later, at our pack-house. This time meeting will behold only two councils and important members like me, Mike, Cole, and Emma. 

The next day, I started to prepare the papers for both parties and decided to meet with my coven.

"Sorry for making you guys wait for so many days. So what do you want to discuss with me?" I ask them.

"You know, because of vampires and dark witches. We have lost many members of our coven. And also get separated from each other, right?" one of the members of my coven Yumina asks me, and I nodded my head at him.  

"Now that we have already taken care of them, some of us want to go back to live like our previous life while others want to live a mortal lifestyle. But the problem is we can't stay in Emma's mention forever, no matter which lifestyle we choose to live. We also want a leader to lead us, and we have also asked Emma to become our leader, but she declines it, so could you become our leader? After all, you are the second most powerful witch after Emma, " another elder witch Linze said to me.

"It is okay if you don't want to stay with us in the coven. After all, you have a pack to look after it. But we want someone to supervise us and lead us in difficulties," another elder witch Elize said to me.

"I don't mind becoming the leader of this coven, but I think. Emma will be the most suitable person for this post. After all, she had more experience than me in this field," I said to them while thinking why she declines it.

"Does anyone of you know why she denies your offer?" I ask them.

"When we ask her about it, she said that she is the messenger or Deependend of moon goddess who had come here to help and guide you, as soon as her work in here gets completed. She will go back to the old place," Elize said to me.

"I see, then. I am ready to become the leader of our coven. Those who want to live a life of the mundane can go and live as they pleased. But there are few rules that you have to follow while living between human beings." I said to them. 

"What are those rules?" One of the witches, Ashta, asks me. 

" I have lots of rules in my mind. I will discuss it with you later," I said to them. 

"Anyway, did anyone have any place that's fit to make it our home?" I ask them. 

"I have seen a big mountain a bit far away from the palace of the new vampire king. I think that place will be good to make a coven for us," another elder witch Suu said to me.

"But is it safe for us to stay near the
