"A pleasure," she bowed her head as she held tight to her mate.

"Thank you, it is a pleasure to be here. I wish it was in better circumstances, but I need to use your resident Witch to contact my family. We lost communication months ago, and we didn't want to worry our mother." Alpha Big Claw glanced at his mate as she walked away.

"My mate will help you; she is our resident Witch," he smiled as she walked to her hut that lay to the west side of the house. "I met her at an Alpha meeting regarding peace treaties, and she was head of the Peace Council that provided neutral grounds."

"Congratulations, you both look happy." I let out a large sigh, thinking of Seraphina working in that terrible coffee shop dealing with those bastards. Jonas' head was going to be on a spike by the time we left this damn town.

"I'm guessing you are here looking for your mate; that is why you left Bergarian?" I nodded as we walked to his mate’s hut. "Yes, Dax is watching over her while I retrieved our belongings." I could not go into detail on how we met; I was still slightly embarrassed.

"Come," I heard a small voice call within the hut. The incense was burning, and a round table sat in the middle with three chairs. "I'll have to have my mate help me with this. I hope you don't mind." I shook my head ‘no’ as I went to sit in the chair.

"Since we have mated and I have become pregnant, my powers have been a little weak. Having my mate here helps me steady them." Using her hand to lift the opaque covering, a small crystal ball sat on a rack.

Holding out her hands, Big Claw caressed his fingers with hers. "Tua, don't overdo it." Smiling back at him, she gave him a quick kiss. "It's just a communication spell." Tua looked at me, "you've done this before, I assume. Just concentrate on who you wish to see. I will project, and the mirror closest to the person you seek will light up, and you can speak to them.

Tua started whispering, and the room became dark, nothing but the incense burner was our light until the ball began to glow. Depictions of several people came to view and then stopped as the mirror looked into my mother's bedroom. "Mom?" I called out, but heard nothing.

"Mom, can you hear me? It's Dimitri!" The rustling of bed covers was heard until I heard my dad growl. "Fuck," he cursed as I heard lips smack. Oh shit, did I interrupt? One thing you did not do in our home was interrupt dad with mom during their special time. Which was all the time, and it was disgusting.

"Alpha!" Mom whimpered as I heard sheets ripping. "More!" I heard her again, but I could not let them continue. I had another Alpha and his mate snickering as I rolled my eyes.

"MOTHER, FATHER! I'M CALLING YOU!" Mom let out a yip, and my father snarled. "Let him leave a message," I heard the bed bang again.

"C-can you just cut the call, and we can call her back or something?" I pleaded. Tua and the Big claw were laughing uncontrollably as I rubbed my temples. "I'll come back," I began to stand, but over the roars of laughter, Tua waved me back in my seat.

"Once they are finished, the spell will reveal her mirror again," she snorted as she laughed.

"Gods, I'm sorry. They just don't stop." Rubbing my temples, Alpha Big Claw wiped away an imaginary tear.

"Don't be, when we visited them before you were born, they were like that. They do have something special. You cannot deny that." Before I could comment, the sphere returned to life, and my mom was at the other end. Her hair was a mess, and she had a sheet covering her chest.

"Dimitri? Is that you?! Oh, gods, my baby is Okay! Where is your brother? Is he alright too? Dax?" She looked around to see the Alpha and Luna.

"I am so sorry; I hope you didn't see…" Tua waved her hand.

"No worries, we know it all too well. Your son was quite frantic to get in touch. I didn't give any warning; that was my fault." Mom laughed and waved her hand dismissively.

"Nothing that our son doesn't know about anyway." I heard dad mumbling curse words behind mom, and he threw a shirt on.

"What is it, Dimitri? Where is your mate?" Dad scowled. Right, down to the point. Mom shoved him as he picked her up and put her on her lap. "Come on, we haven't got all day," my dad ruffed as he held mom tighter.

"We did find her! She's great mom, gorgeous," I gushed. "We did run into a few problems before we met her, but we are fine now. They are making some sort of grenades here with silver dust. We got caught in the crossfire and were captured for the past three months." Mom gasped as she gripped hold of the mirror, causing her sheet to shift.

"Watch it," Dad growled at her playfully as she looked frantic. "You got out; you escaped! Who was it? Do we need to send guards? If you are near Tua then you are in the upper Midwest! We can be out there in three days!" Mom tried to leave, but dad held onto her tight.

"Wait a minute, love; I want to know how they escaped first." Dad liked details, and I wasn't getting out of this one.

"Lots of luck, now I was just letting you know we are fine, and we will bring our mate when she is ready. We haven't told her yet." Dad glared at me; it was a glare of, 'don't test my authority, I will use my ultimate alpha power on you,' kind of look. I groaned and wiped my hands down my face.

"Fine, I will tell you, but no one says a word until I am done."

I didn't leave anything out. I told them about the rogues, grenades of silver dust, getting caught in a damn dog pound. Our mate sprung us, and now we are her two pets, biding time until we find the right moment to tell her who we are. On top of it all, her father seems to be after her, and we have to protect her from being tracked down. There was silence on both ends. My parents, along with the Alpha and Luna, stared at me with mouths hanging open. As soon as I sat by in my chair, signaling that my story was over, laughter filled the hut as I turned my head in embarrassment.

"His own mate saved him before he could save her!" Dad bellowed while mom looked on with such love. If she was in the same room, she would have been rubbing my hand, telling me how unfortunate it was, and everything would be alright. The look she gave me as little giggles left her mouth let me know she was on my side.

"Now listen," she spoke as the laughter began to die down. "It sounds to me that you need to tell her as soon as you can and get her here for her safety, but delicately." Mom's eyes started to wander back to Dad's. "There will never be an easy way, right, babe?" Dad nuzzled into her neck.

"No, there won't be. Just don't shift in front of her or be naked. Human women aren't used to nakedness like we are and tend to shy away from that." Dad continued to stare at mom with such love. I couldn’t wait for Seraphina to do the same.
