Zach's POV

I woke up to someone shaking me and when I opened my eyes, I saw Shane smiling at me. He had his avengers toys on the bed and he carried the captain in his left hand.

"Hey baby. How are you feeling?" I asked him when I sat up and pulled him on my lap. I placed the back of my hand on his forehead and it felt a bit cooler than yesterday.

'I'm fine dad. Uncle Francis came looking for you.' Shane signed and then started playing with his toy.

I looked at my son with a smile that he is getting better. I was really worried with all the news I received yesterday. Thinking about Cemil made me realize that Shane will be having a sibling in three months or was it two months remaining? I didn't know how long it took for a werewolf pregnancy. And I also remember that I haven't told Cemil that I have a son. Would he be okay with it or he would hate my son?

I sighed and got off the bed. I put on some shots and then carry Shane out of the room and down the stairs for breakfast. On my way to the dining room, I saw Francis in the living room so I left Shane with one of the house maid to watch him in case he might need help eating his breakfast. I greeted Francis and asked him if he had arrived this morning.

"We arrived during the night. The orders we got from the alpha was to come here and that you will be telling us what to do because it's still a combined group of us and the werewolves. The group is currently at the our hiding place awaiting your orders. But there is someone else that the alpha sent here to meet you. He is in the backyard for a morning stretch he said." Francis explained and I wondered who this person was.

"Who is he?"

"He is the alpha's uncle." Francis replied and I dismissed him.

I knew about the third in command of Kenneth and that the man was also his uncle. I just didn't have the chance to set my eyes on said uncle before and this will surely be the first time meeting him. I've heard a lot from Kenneth about this man and I know he truly adores his uncle. He wouldn't send him here if there was no reason why, so I had to know why he was here. I walked out of the house to follow the uncle so that I would hear from him the reason he's here. Kenneth hadn't told me about sending his uncle and I was sure he himself would be coming here anytime from now like he had told me. I found the man sitting on the grass and when he saw me, he stood up to greet me.

"Hello sir. I'm Klaus, Kenneth sent me here."

"I'm Zach, sorry I wasn't around to welcome you when you arrived during the night. I hope you were nicely accommodated." I said and he smiled and assured me that he was warmly welcomed. So I asked, "why were you sent you here and when will Kenneth be coming here?" I asked.

"He had sent me here because you needed my help and I'm sorry to tell you this but Kenneth won't be coming here. The enemy attacked last night and took Roman and other omegas. I was informed of this by the beta this morning. Knowing my nephew, he will be having a hard time and he can't solve out the problem here. So I would like to carry out the orders I received."

"What orders?" I asked Klaus. I couldn't believe what he was telling me. Kenneth won't be coming to help and I understood his delay.

"To work on the hybrid issue. I know I'm a stranger and it will be really hard for you to work with me on this, but Kenneth sent me here because he believed I can help you. I hope you trust him enough to let me be your partner as we solve this hybrid issue."

I looked at Klaus and he looked at me. We looked at each other for some time until I looked away. I knew Kenneth wouldn't have sent his uncle if he knew he was incapable of helping me. He was a warrior, a very good one at that but I didn't need one at the moment. I needed someone to talk to, someone who will understand me and help me make decision. Could this man be that someone?

"I know that look. You are doubting me and thinking I'm not the man for the job. I had seen that troubled look on my nephew years ago. When he needed a friend to talk to and no one else was there, I became that someone. I think I now understand why he sent me here. He could have told me to send someone here but he wanted me to come here in person because he knew you needed someone to talk to. So if talking to you will make me understand what's going on, I suggest we sit down and talk." Klaus finished with a smile. "Just for clarification, I'm really a good listener." He smiled.

"Let's take a walk." I said after thinking about his offer. It was him or no one so I had to try my luck with him.

We started walking in silence as I readied myself to tell the story. For better understanding, I started to tell him about me and Cemil. How we met, how things between us progressed, the breakup and what led to it. I told him everything even the things that I failed to tell Kenneth last time. I told him about the hybrids and how they are connected to the story. The last thing I disclosed was about Cemil being pregnant with my child. Klaus remained silent even after I finished narrating the story. We walked in silent and I began to lost myself in thoughts until he finally spoke.

"For someone who has known about werewolves for years, you did the most foolish thing by getting involved with an omega. I mean, what were you thinking? Do you know the werewolves rule about mates?" Klaus was angry, I knew he was angry even though his voice was gentle.

I knew the rules but I couldn't say it to him so I just nodded. The werewolves had so many rules and there were a number of them concerning about mates.

If two competes to claim a mate, they should fight to death and the winner will get the mate.

If one claims someone's true mate without a fight, he/she is said to have stole the other's mate. He/she needs to be punished by death.

"There is also a rule about an omega getting pregnant by someone else and not their mates. People believe that omegas only get pregnant by their mates but this isn't true. If the omega and his wolf has bonded with someone else, they can get pregnant by them. This is an insult to their true mate and such omegas are to be killed by hanging or stoned to death. Many people do not know of this rule because such an incident has not happened for ages. If this hybrid mate knows of this, this whole thing will be difficult to handle." Klaus sighed and now he looked exasperated.

Me on the other hand, I was worried about Cemil. I had not only put myself in danger but also Cemil. In all this, he was a willing person so where there is death for me, there is also death for him due to his willingness. My phone started ringing while I was still pondering about this. It was a new number and my guess was that it was Scar.

"Hello." I answered.

"Hello Zach." A male voice sounded and I couldn't make out who it was, so I asked. "I'm Jonathan. We need to talk about my mate. I'm already on my way to your house. Expect me in twenty minutes tops." The call ended there and he didn't even wait for my response. How rude.

"Is that the hybrid mate?" Klaus asked and I nodded.

I dialed Janelle's number and asked her if she had time to look after Shane for the day. Unfortunately, she had just left for a meeting to another country. I sighed, not knowing where to send my son because I wasn't having him here while the hybrid was coming here as well.

"My wife, Sonja, can stay with your son. She's good with kids and will look after him without a problem. I wouldn't suggest her if I knew she isn't the right person for it." Klaus offered and I agreed to it, so he called his wife to come and pick up Shane.

I ran back to the house to pack some clothes and toys for Shane in his backpack. Sonja had came to the city for some work she was doing here. She had got an apartment since she would be here for six months.

"He hasn't bathed yet and he had breakfast. I got all the things I'm sure he will need in his bag. Shane uses sign language to communicate but if you can't understand it, I have put in a pen and a book where he can write something. He sometimes uses his phone so you can just give him your number and he can text you. But if you-"

"Don't worry Zach. My wife understands sign language and she can sign as well." Klaus interfered. His wife had arrived so I was only letting her know some things.

"Klaus is right. My mother was deaf and mute so I learned to sign to be able to talk to her ever since I was little. I'll look after him for the day. Call me when you need him home." Sonja added with a smile of assurance.

"Okay. Text me anytime buddy." I kissed Shane on the forehead and he patted my hair. I carried him off the ground and secured him in his seat with a seatbelt. I closed the door and faced the smiling couple.

"I forgot to tell you, he had fever yesterday so please make sure he is fine now and again." I said when I remembered about my son's sickness and Klaus looked at me with a raised brow that screamed, 'really dude?'. I ignored him and walk away from the car to give the two some privacy.

At that moment, Jonathan's car drove into my driveway and parked it there. It was a big driveway so he wasn't blocking off Sonja's car path. I had already told the guards at the gate to let him in when he arrives so I wasn't surprised when he drove in. Jonathan came out of his car and headed straight for me. He greeted Sonja and Klaus first, because he had to pass them before coming to me.

"Is the kid in the car yours? You look awfully familiar." Jonathan asked me when he came to stand beside me and he too watched Sonja's car as I did.

I didn't reply to him and was glad when Sonja finally drove away. Klaus joined us and I led them to my library. It was the most quiet room and also secured to avoid eavesdroppers.

"What is it you want to talk about?" I asked when we were all sitting.

"You slept with my mate Zach. I could have forgave that but you impregnated him. By the look of no surprise on you, I guess you somehow already know of this. So I will just be blunt about this." He looked in my eyes and I in his. One thing I was sure about was that this man was super angry.

"I am in no way giving up my mate to you. You got him in this mess and I want you to get him out. Start doing that by convincing him to abort the pregnancy. If he is discovered by my brothers, they will kill him on the spot with no questions asked. Cemil is refusing to have abortion and the only way he can survive without abortion is if the one who impregnated him is killed for forcing themselves on him."

"I didn't do that!" I shouted in disbelief. How could he even thought I did such a thing?

"Exactly. Then you and Cemil will both be killed. You, for claiming my mate and him for willingly agreeing to it."

"No one would believe that a mere human can impregnate a werewolf unwillingly unless he is a supernatural being. So this reasoning of yours is a bit lame." Klaus spoke for the first time but Jonathan laughed a bitter laugh.

"But is he a human? He doesn't smell like a human to me but then he doesn't have a smell at all. What is he hiding? What are you Zach?" Jonathan glared at me. His voice was deadly and his eyes pierced through me as if looking for an answer to his question. An answer that even I didn't know.

"The wolves think we are here for them but they are wrong. The one we are here for are yet to make themselves visible. We don't strike with no reason. But who knows? I might have the reason to do that now." Jonathan's words were full of hatred and malice. Klaus stood up between me and Jonathan since we were standing and facing each other in anger.

I was angry that he could stand before me and threaten the life of both me and my loved ones. Did he thought I'd just say yes to him killing my unborn child? Did he thought I was not important to other people that I'd agree to be slaughtered like a goat? I have family to look after.

The moment I thought of family, something snapped in me. I closed my eyes as so many images clouded my mind and things I couldn't understand before started to make sense. In all this I understood one thing. I did not only have a family but I also had a clan to look after and no hybrid would tell me otherwise.

"I think you should leave." I announced to Jonathan.

"I'll walk you out." Klaus urged the still glaring Jonathan.

I looked away from them and I only heard the door opening and closing indicating that I was now alone in the library. I had to sort out my thoughts and make what my dreams really meant.
