Chapter 834 - ROSIE...

Raine felt that Calleb tensed up all of a sudden. She tried to follow his line of sight, but saw nothing in that particular direction.

Meanwhile, Torak stopped talking to Sterling and Alpha Ralph. He looked at Calleb, who was anxious, as if he was trying to look for something… or, someone?

"Torak, what happened to him?" Raine asked, she was worried seeing Calleb's strange behavior.

Torak squinted his eyes, he seemed to have his own guess, but still wasn't sure and wanted to see what would happen.

"Call?"Raine became more worried about him, especially when the Gamma appeared as if he couldn't hear her well and chose to walk away, following the sweet scent that was beckoning his senses.

Right at this moment, from the corner of the building, half-running toward them were the twins and Rosie, Sterling's children.

"Father!" Rosie called out for her father, her cheerful voice rang beautifully in Calleb's ears and the way she carried herself, left the Gamma dumbfounded. He had never seen a girl as beautiful and sweet as her.

However, Rosie stopped running when she felt something bother her. It wasn't an uncomfortable feeling, but quite the opposite.

And when she scoured her eyes around to find who was staring intently at her, she found Calleb's green eyes.

From the way that man looked at her, it stirred something within Rosie, she felt there were a thousand butterflies fluttered their colorful wings inside her stomach.

Her lips felt parched for no apparent reason, but there was a soft whisper that escaped her mouth.

"Mate."

"Mate."

They spoke simultaneously and looked at each other as if they got lost in each other eyes and didn't care about anyone around them anymore when they started to walk closer to each other.

Not only Raine and the other people around them, Kace, Hope and Sebastian also started to realize the oddity of the situation until they got to hear them claiming each other as their mate.

Calleb was surprised. No. He was shocked and speechless, he had never imagined that he would find his mate in this place, in such a situation.

Finding his mate would be the last thing that he thought would happen today. But there she was, looking all beautiful and gorgeous. Her eyes were so big and looked at him innocently, and was that curiosity that he could see in those eyes?

Calleb gulped down hard. He couldn't believe what he got to find today. Selene chose this fateful day for him to meet his other half. Today of all the days when he just returned from the city gates, drenched in sweat and dirt, with his nest like hair adding to his insecurities.

Oh, Selene… couldn't you find another day or moment for me to meet her? At least, the time when I wear something decent and not smelling like a stray dog. Calleb whined in his head.

However, it couldn't reduce his excitement to see his mate.

The girl walked forward to approach him and Calleb, with his insecurities, stood there like a fool. He took a step forward, but it was not quick enough for her, thus she took the initiative to approach him first and hastened her steps.

However, before they could relish in each other's presence and feel the wonderful tingly feeling that several lycans always talked about whenever they touched their other half, one of the siblings interfered and pulled the girl away, only three steps before they could close the proximity between them.

Out of instinct, Calleb growled loudly and sent him a dagger look for taking his mate away from him. But, the other siblings came to the rescue and now both of them hid his mate behind their backs. This annoyed the Gamma greatly.

"Give me back my mate!" Calleb snarled viciously at the siblings, who were trying to save their dearest little sister.

"No way! She is not your mate!" Ian snarled back at him and glared, while Ethan lowered his upper body, ready to shift into his beast form if necessary.

"You heard that!" Calleb took another step closer, at this rate a clash would be unavoidable if there was no one to intervene. "She is my mate! So, get the hell out of her!"

On the other hand, when Sterling heard that Calleb was yelling at his children he jumped forward and roared. "Don't you dare to yell at my children!"

He was like an angry father, who was dissatisfied because his children were being ganged upon, while in fact it was quite the opposite.

"I want my mate!" Calleb shouted stubbornly, as his eyes wildly looked for the girl behind the siblings. He wanted to call her, but then he remembered that he didn't even know her name! D*mn!

At a distance, Kace, Hope and Sebastian walked over to see the commotion that the newly mated lycan had created and saw that Calleb was ready to clash head on head with Sterling.

"Don't you want to stop them?!" Kace glowered at Torak, because his older brother did nothing to prevent this commotion.

"Why should I?" Torak raised his eyebrows questioningly, as if Kace's question was very foolish to hear.

"He is your Gamma," Kace said in frustration.

On the other hand, Raine also felt uncomfortable to see the confrontation before her eyes. She was afraid that something bad would happen to Calleb, after all Sterling appeared taller and bigger than Calleb.

"Torak," Raine whined. "They will start to kill each other."

However, Torak just chuckled and kissed her temple, while saying with certainty. "They will not. You don't have to worry about it."

"I don't know how you can stand him, Raine," Kace grumbled and approached the two shifters, who was about to bit off each other's neck.

"Alright, enough!" Kace pushed Calleb and Sterling away from one another and then shifted his attention toward the twins. "Bring Rosie here," he ordered them.

"No, she is my daughter!" Sterling rejected it immediately.

"I didn't say that she is not." Kace rolled his eyes dramatically and knocked Ethan and Ian on their heads for not listening to his order.

Meanwhile, Calleb was fascinated upon knowing his mate's name.

Rosie…
