A Gamma's Revenge by Ylyanah

Chapter 202 Jordan's POV.

After talking to Julian and Glenn for a while, I decide to go back to my cottage. The only place where I want to be right now.

Once another cottage stood there, but it had burned to he ground a few decades ago. This property had belonged to my Grandparents on my Mother's side. And after Mother had died, it was handed down toand my Brother.

Jayce had no interest in it, so he had signed his half over to me. Living with my Father and later living at the Pack-house as a Beta, I never had any use for it.

After the cottage had burned down, I cleared the property up and never looked back.

But three years ago I made the decision to build a new cottage, with in the back of my mind a Mate and pups. But unlike my Grandparents one story cottage, the one I build was a two story cottage.

It was larger in every way, because I want a big family and the space to accommodate them. A large living area and a large kitchen across the hall from it. I had placed an armchair in such a way that I could keep an eye on whoever was in the kitchen.

And from that position I could also look in to the garden, to keep an eye on playing pups. Nero helpedwith that idea, he made it clear that he would want to know where our pups would be at all times.

Even though I told him that with our hearing that wasn't a problem, I indulged him when he kept bringing it up.

I close the door behindand sit down in the chair, staring out the window.

Izzy's POV.

I know that Jordan left the party, but I forgot to ask my Father where I could find him. But Evie tellsto head towards the Pack-house, so we can pick up his scent.

It doesn't take us long to get to the Pack-house and suddenly Evie pushes forward, she has picked up his scent. We follow it along a path, we know leads to an empty property.

We wonder why his scent is leading us this way, why would he go to an empty lot. It has us both puzzled and for a second we contemplate on returning to the Pack-house. “Just a little further." I say to Evie.

As we cout of the bend in the path, my jaw drops. I am staring at a two-story cottage. I reminds Troy's cottage, even though this one has no straw roofing.

of It is not small by any means and I can picture a large family living here. A few steps are leading to a double front door, the wooden outside is panted in an off-white color. The shutters are a bright dark-blue, framing the windows at the front of the cottage.

Along the path that leads to the front door are flower-beds with all sorts of wild flowers in a variety of colors. And I take a few minutes to just gawk at my surroundings.

C Finished The smell gets stronger and I hear her coming up the steps. Before she can knock on the door, I rip it open and pull her in to my arms.

She stiffens at my action, but Nero has no intention of letting her go. "Don't worry, Princess. We just need to hold you." I whisper in her car. Nero rejoices as she relaxes a little.

I lean back a little and ask the question I dread the answer to "Did you get here by mistake?" She givesa little smile before she shakes her head.

"I went looking for you, because we need to talk." The serious tone of her voice, has my heart sinking in to my boots.

I let her go and reluctantly 1 step back to let her in. I show her to the living-room and I feel a bit of a triumph as she looks around the room with a smile on her face. I tell her to take a seat and ask if she would. like something to drink.

She nods her head as she walks in to the room and I get us both a bottle of water from the kitchen. I hand her the bottle and sit down in my arm-chair.

"How is the view from there?" She asksand I can tell she in genuine in her question. I tell her it is amazing. I tell her I put the chair in that spot because of Nero.

As I see confusion on her face, I tell her the story of the property and the cottage. When I tell her that Nero wanted a chair in that spot to keep an eye on our pups, she turns away from me. But I have already seen the pained expression on her face.

Nero scoldsin my head and I can only agree with him.

"I never wanted a Mate ever since my Father and Brother committed suicide because of their Mates." I say in a whisper. "When you askedto be your chosen Mate, it brought back the pain of losing them. And because of that I reacted more blunt towards you than you deserved." I look up and see that she is still staring out of the window and I realize that this is my chance to explain everything to her. So I tell her the story of my childhood, not leaving one detail out of it.

"Seeing you every day, made us rethink our decision to live without a Mate. And after you left. I realized that I had been an idiot. It took a long tbefore your Father toldwhy you left. And it tookeven longer to confide in him that you had askedto be your chosen Mate." She turns toafter I say those words and for just a split second I fear she is going to storm out. But I am shocked by what comes out of her mouth "And you are still breathing?" Izzy's POV.

Listening to Jordan as he tellsabout his Mother, his Father and his Brother, Jayce, my heart breaks for him.

My jaw drops when he tellsthat he told my Father about my request and as I turn around, I already know that I am getting myself in a lot of trouble. Seeing the look on his face at my words, sendsin to a fit of laughter and I have to hold my stomach because the expression on his face isn't getting better. After a few minutes I have finally stopped laughing and have slowed down my breathing. As soon as I am able to talk again, I sit down on the table in front of hir 2/3 Fri, Jan 31 Chapter 202 Finished

"Jordan, my travels have maderealize that I want my True Mate, not a chosen one. I am not going to run from you, but I am stilkin search of a few answers about my Mother. I need you to understand that getting closure on that part of my life is important to me." I can see relief in his eyes as my words register in his head. | "Princess, take all the tyou need. Just promisethat I get to hold you every night. I think Nero might lose it all together if we are apart ever again.

She smiles atand tellsthat Evie will probably kill her if she would stay away deliberately pull her in to my lap and hold her close to my chest. She puts her face in my neck and inhales deeply, relaxing in my arms even more.
