The White Wolf's Lover

Chapter 17

"You should all see your faces" Forth laughed for the first time ever since they all had met them "I am 25" he said.

Beam was the first to regain composure; he closed his mouth that he realized was hanging wide open as he sat right up "That was not funny". 

Forth just shrugged while Beam suddenly yelled on top of his voice "Your kind can't lie"

"What?" Phana turned to look at Beam

"Fairies – of any kind" Beam replied, "They can't lie"

"Good, someone knows his basics" Forth smiled

"How old are you?" Ming looked curious "287 or 25"

"I am both my pixie age is 287, but my human age will forever be 25" Forth explained

"Forever?" Posh questioned

"Yeah, until we fade" Forth explained

"How can it be forever then?" Posh raised his eyebrows

"Sometimes, we never fade – like Wayo you met the other day" Forth explained "He is more than 1500 years old"

"Wow" Phana sounded surprised "he didn't look a day older than 19"

Forth shrugged, "Can we now move on to matters of war please?"

Irin grinned, "this is getting interesting by the minute", she turned to Phana "I will talk to mom and we will move in here today – but what's the room plan here?"

Ming looked around once, "Forth can stay in his room, Posh and I will share mine, Kit and Beam er" he paused looking around once and his eyes landed on Phana "Can they share yours?" he asked "That way Irin will have a room for herself"

Phana nodded, understanding what Ming was not saying – he did not want anyone to be in his dad's room.

"Cool" Irin smiled "Jisoo can stay with me – she is at our place most of the time anyways"

"older witch?" Forth asked

Kit sighed, "I don't care how ancient you are, but start using our names for god sake"

"It is settled in" Forth got up ignoring Kit's words again "I will see you all tomorrow at dawn for training"

Beam smiled looking at pout on Kit's face "Stop being cute" he ruffled Kit's hair "Fairies don't take anyone's real names unless they form a bond with them, and that is more scared to them"

"He calls Wayo by his name...." Kit said, while Phana added, "does it mean they are bonded?"

"That or Wayo is not his real name" Beam replied as he tilted his head to read Phana's expression, who quickly averted his eyes and got up.

"Well, I will be back shortly" Phana said to Ming, and then said to his younger siblings "Let's go see if we can convince mom"

"Don't you dare take their side" Lien growled at her husband, as her three children sat there stunned by the change in their mother's attitude, as they watched their father take a step back

"It is hard enough not having one under my roof, not all four wants to leave home" Lien continued as she paced back and forth the living room. "Why can't you all come here?"

Phana got up, walked closer to his mom, and hugged her from the back "mom.... You know why" he sighed as she raised her hands and rubbed the back of his head "I want my pack to.." he said

"Am I not your pack?" She asked with tears him her eyes

Phana sighed, and Irni knew he had lost the battle – her so called Alpha was defenseless in front of love, and that would be his undoing.
