Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

Chapter 7

"Xander... Your parents are alive. They are here.. in this pack."

"What?" Xander asked. "You are lying.", he concluded.

"No. They are here. Let's go meet them."

"Yes, Let's meet them. You will be proven wrong. Use every cheap trick you know Justin. Let's see how

far you can fall." Xander replied with contempt.

Turning to Judy, Justin said, "Call them honey. Ask them to come soon."

Judy gives a nod and looks at Xander with surprise in her eyes as if she has a hard time believing his

existence. Judy picks up the landline and dials an extension.

She says, "Come soon. A miracle has happened. They are alive."

Placing the phone back in its cradle, she heads over to sit by Justin. She pulls his hand in her and

says, "Don't worry. Once he gets to know the truth Maya will be back with us. It's just a

misunderstanding."

Justin simply nods. Xander being sure of himself, merely smirked at them. Ken merely stared at

between them back and forth, completely confused.

Soon the group could hear rushed feet and then an insistent knocking at the front door. Ken walked to Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

the door and then opened it to see Elder Anne and her husband Mark. Ken asked surprised, "Aunty

Anne, Uncle Mark, what are you doing here?". He stepped past to let them inside.

Elder Anne looked past Alpha Ken to see Xander. "Is he him? Is he my Xander? My little Wolf?", She

asked her voice quivering.

Xander stood stunned, he remembered his mother calling him her little wolf.

"Come inside Mary Ann. Marcus your son is here. He is here.", Justin replied to them.

"Wait. Why didn't we recognise you? We saw you multiple times and even in the warrior test..." Marcus

let his question trail off as the answer appeared to him.

"Because their scent changed a little after puberty and they were so little when we separated, they

couldn't have remembered our scent." Mary Ann answered her husband. "We thought we lost you, that

you were dead in the rogue attack. We tried to call you through the family bond but we couldn't reach

you."

"I was knocked out in the attack. I think that the rogues assumed me dead and left. When I came to.. I

think we must have been far enough so that our calls didn't reach each other. But.. how is this

possible? I saw you and dad running into a room during the attack and I heard a scream and then he

came out alone." Xander replied pointing to Justin, "He was smeared with blood and he smirked evilly

before killing our Beta. I saw him killing our Beta."

"Xander.. Our Beta was involved with the rogues. He had helped them set up an ambush in Claire's

room. Justin killed the rogues that were in Claire's room. When we went inside a rogue flung her from

the window which is why I screamed. Justin heard it, he was fighting in adjoining room. He rescued

us.", explained Mary Ann.

"Justin saved us. We thought you were dead, all was lost. I was an Alpha with no pack. Justin brought

us here. He helped me stabilize my wolf, nursed us back to health. When we were better, we decided

to not go back to our lands. We couldn't bear to be in a place where our pups had died. Now I curse

myself, if only we had went back. We would have been in the range to contact you via mind link. Call

Claire here Xander. Where is she?" Marcus asked Xander.

"I am sorry. I will need a solid proof before connecting with her. You could have made up the story for

all I know." Xander replied.

"Try calling each other through the mind link. It may make the bond appear." Ken replied. He appeared

to be watching the proceedings with high interest. However he was desperately trying to contact Maya

through his own mind link. His wolf was getting antsy.

"Li.. little wolf..." Mary Ann tried tentatively.

Xander stilled in shock, "Mom.. Ma.." he called out through the bond just as tentative. Tears streaming

from his face he ran to them and hugged his parents. The family collapsed together in a huddle each

rejoicing in their happiness. At that moment Xander was not a warrior hell bent on taking his revenge.

He was just a small child who had lost his parents.

"Call her son. Please call Claire.", Marcus begged him.

"I.. I cannot connect with her." Xander said frowning, "I will call her on her cell phone." Xander dialled

her number and waited for a few rings but no one picked up. He tried once more with no luck. Justin

began pacing worriedly.

"Where is Maya? Xander, get her back here. She is innocent. Dad is innocent." Ken asked indignantly.

"Calm down, she is with Claire. Claire won't hurt her. She knows Maya is my mate." Xander replied.

"Why can I not connect with her you sick fuck?" Ken cried out.

"We injected a small medicine to knock her out.", Xander said to calm him down. He tried to call Claire

a couple more times but was unsuccessful.

About an hour later, his phone rang. Xander immediately picked it up seeing that it was Claire's.

"Hello big brother." Claire said, "Are you having difficulty getting off the pack lands. Should I threaten

them with their precious daughter?"

"No. Claire, we were wrong. Our parents are alive Claire. They are truly alive and well."

"What are you talking about? They must have tricked you brother."

"No Claire. It is mom and dad. I checked the mind link. Our bond manifested as soon as we tried

contacting each other again. Oh Claire, we finally have our parents with us. Come to the Alpha house

Claire and bring Maya with you. Has she awoken yet?"

"I don't believe you Xander. I am coming there alone. I want the proof first. It might be a trick." Claire

replied before disconnecting the call.

Half an hour later, a car stopped in front of the Alpha house. Claire got down and walked inside the

door throwing it open.

Soon she was engulfed in a hug from both side. She went to attack the people hugging her but her wolf

held her back.

"My princess..." she heard a male voice in her mind.

"Dad?" she asked softly.

"Yes, my child. We are so pleased Claire. So pleased to finally meet you." Mary Ann replied her in the

family link. All four of them could hear each other and feel their bond strengthen. The family held on to

each other sobbing softly.

"Where is Maya, Claire? We should bring her back. Is she in our hideout?", Xander asked his eyes

shining with happiness.

At his words, Claire lost the colour in her face. "Oh no.. Maya.." Claire gasped softly.
