In a way the Monster had saved him by telling Devon that they were mates. But how absurd is that?. Was he that desperate for a mate?That he had lied about them being mates.
Kevin sighed. After fighting in the battle with Devon he understood. Though it is shameful. Kevin never stood a chance with him. Devon was no doubt holding back while fighting Stefan and Steven. And if the alliance is dissolved his pack would not survive. They had lost terribly. Devon was letting him save his face by not demanding his position and pack altogether. In a way he owed Devon. But that didn't mean he could forgive his brother.
And now Evan Rickson had played a dirty game. Kevin is unable to back out. Had the Demon already guessed their plan and acted like that. He must have been weary and so he had lied about them being mates. The Demon knew his brother so he acted acordingly trapping Kevin in his own game.
Kevin was relieved that Devon didn't dissolved the treaty but he was angry that the Demon went to such lengths. He had a mate out there. He loved his mate but he loved his pack too. He couldn't wait and watch his pack being annihilated.
If that damn thing wanted a mate he will give it to him. If it helps him to lease that monster he is happy to put his pack first.
As an Alpha it's his duty to protect the pack.Even if it meant mating a Demon.
But the cost was too high. It was at the cost of his own mate. The constant ache that he had felt all through out these years. So much he had yearned for his mate. Kevin wanted nothing more than to protect him and cherish him as he deserved. But he can't do that now because of that Demon. His mate belonged to Devon's pack. He had thought of searching for him after the treaty. But now it was impossible. They were safe atleast. With Devon as the Alpha and the white Demon on the leash. But he had to think about his pack. They were warriors but not strong to fight the Chimera. Not strong enough to fight those monsters.
But if he stops his mate if he stops this negotiations what will become of his pack?. They won't be able to handle all the bloodshed and nightmares again. No, Kevin wouldn't be able to do that with his Pack. When they have a larger threat to deal with. He couldn't help but curse his luck. The rouges have recently banded together under some mysterious Chimera as their leader. Four years ago they were unbound and rebellious. But then they banded together as 'Ravagers'. Their motive was still unknown but they posed a threat to all the beast tribe out there. Annihilating entire packs on whims. He couldn't have that not after an inch away from the alliance.
Kevin sighed. This was so absurd. He was waiting for his mate since he was ten years old. And now he is supposed to marry a monster.
Kevin laughed at his stupidity. He was so stupid. He thought that Devon would give up on that monster up. But fate was cruel.And now he had to give up his mate.
But Devon wasn't to blame. It was the Demon who had said that they were mates. Or else this stupid wolf wouldn't be drawing such an absurd conclusion. That monster, he could have just declined if he saw through that plan? Was he so desperate for a mate that he thought of strunging an Alpha along with his whim.
Kevin will show him what is a mate. And he will regret having been born.
Kevin smiled at Devon and shook his hands.
"I am looking forward to meeting him" Kevin said and walked out.
Kevin stayed depressed after returning. Wanting to die. And two days passed.
Then he called for his brothers and friends. when he relayed the conversation with Devon to his pack. At the pack meeting, with only few close confidants. His brothers and friends exploded.
"They insult us!" Sebastian shouted. He was the Beta of the Pack. And Markian kept looking at the paper in contempt. He was the Gamma. Kevin was just thinking how to explain the situation to his pack. That's when an Envoy came with the treaty. It has been two days since Kevin met Devon. They sure didn't waste any time.
It was Stefan who had read the paper at the general Pack meeting.
The paper which held the treaty. The treaty drawn up was plain and clear, adding the stipulation that Evan Rickson is to be wedded to their Alpha Kevin Flint and Steven Flint to be wedded to Celine Rickson. It shocked everyone. At first they thought that Kevin had found his mate.
But when the question arised who was this Evan Rickson. Kevin had mumbled that he was the White Demon. His subordinates had just gaped at him. The Elders who were also stood shocked. Some waited for him to crack a joke and laugh at their priceless faces.
But Kevin stared at the treaty in Stefan's hand. "I am-that fool misinterpreted what I said and thought I asked for the Demon's hand to mate?"
He ran a hand through his hair, teeth clenched.
"What about your mate brother?" Steven asked deep in thought.
"How did you say it to him?" Stefan asked, Sebastian slammed his hands onto the table. "What in hell made that idiot think you wanted to marry a demon?" he asked unfazed of the glare that Stefan sent his way. Years of being close friends with Kevin had made him immune to the Flint glares.
"I said that he must give him to me brother!" Kevin tossed the treaty onto the table. They had a week to review all the terms before meeting once more for finalization.
But Kevin had already decided.
