The virtues of his mate

Graham was roaming around his hotel room, he couldn’t settle down in one place more than a few minutes before getting restless.

“For goddess’s sake, you need to stop. You are giving me a nervous breakdown” Logan complained. Graham just shot him an irritated stare and kept walking around.

The hotel room was nice and big. It had a large room with a king-sized bed and two sofas and a TV. A small desk stood at one of the walls. The bathroom was big as well and had both a walk-in shower and a bathtub.

As everything else at this summit, things were well beyond his expectations. Logan had a somewhat smaller room, but still high quality, and the five warriors had two rooms to share. All four room were next to each other.

Graham wondered how much of this was Bella’s doing, had she been responsible for arranging the hotels for all the participants?

“If you can’t sit still, at least do something useful, like calling Bastian and check in” Logan said with a sigh.

That wasn’t a half bad idea, Graham thought. Bastian was his beta and was responsible, alongside Graham’s father, for the pack when they were at the summit. He should check-in and tell them about finding his mate. He pulled out his phone, smiling as he remembered the conversation he had had with Bella.

“Having too much fun already boss, I was starting to think you had forgotten about us” Bastian answered his phone.

“There have been some unexpected developments” Graham said. “Is my father there?”

“Yeah, I’ll put you on speaker”

“Hello son, how are things?” Graham heard his father say when Bastian had put him on speaker.

“We’ll get to that. First, how are things at your end. Any sign of rogue activity?” he asked.

“No, not yet at least. Things are as usual. We are starting to place bets on when Mikka’s pup will be born, she has gone tree days past her due date” Bastian answered.

“Thomas must be losing his mind” Graham chuckled, thinking about his cousin and her mate.

“Yeah, not far from it” his dad laughed. “So, want to tell us what is going on at your end? You sound a bit on edge.”

“We have arrived in good condition, the welcome and the arrangements have been above our expectations” Graham started, at that Logan burst out laughing.

“Is that Logan laughing?” Bastian asked.

“It is, pay no attention to him. The big thing is that I have found my mate and I will be bringing her home with me at the end of the summit.”

“Son, congratulations, it’s about time you found your luna” his dad said.

“Congrats boss, we will make sure everything is ready for her” Bastian sounded excited.

“Bastian, keep Charlotte out of my quarters” Graham warned, he knew that once his sister got wind of him bringing his mate home, she would want to decorate his apartment in a more feminine way. The last thing he needed was to come home to an explosion of pink flowers or something like that.

“I will do my best boss, but you know how she is.”

“She’s your mate, I expect you to keep her in check. If anyone is going to redecorate the apartment it should be Bella” Graham said.

“Luna Bella, that has a good ring to it” his father said, sounding pleased. Graham agreed.

“Tell us about her” his father said. Graham did, what little he knew about her. He also explained why he wasn’t with her at the moment.

“You are one lucky wolf my son. Being mated to an omega that is used to organise a multimillion-dollar company and has been working closely with her alpha pair. You couldn’t ask for more” his father stated.

“You are right” Graham admitted with a smile.

“That also explains why you sound on edge. It’s almost end of business hours, I hope she will call you soon son. You will have to keep us posted.”

Graham almost felt panicked when he realized what time it was, he didn’t want to miss Bella’s call.

“Will do, you keep things in check while we are gone and let me know if anything goes wrong or feels off” he told them, eager to end the call. “And Bastian, keep Charlotte out of my apartment or you will spend a week in the cells with nothing but stale bread and water.”

“Yes alpha”

“Take care son”

Graham ended the call and started walking around again.

“I’m thinking they were excited?” Logan said.

“They were” Graham confirmed looking at him. He was reading the security folder they had gotten.

“Anything we need to worry about?” Graham asked, more to distract himself from looking at his phone every ten seconds than out of real interest.

“No, they seem to know what they are doing. Luna Bella put this together, didn’t she?” Logan asked.

“That’s what they said” Graham confirmed. Logan whistled.

“That’s impressive” he then stated, earning him a questioning look from Graham. “Haven’t you read it?”

“I have been preoccupied” Graham said.

“Look through it, you’ll see what I mean”

Graham picked up his copy of the folder and started going through it. He did see what Logan meant. The information was comprehensive, detailed and organised in a way that made it easy to read and understand. If they hadn’t told him that Bella, his mate, had put it together, he would have assumed it would have been made by a gamma or beta. The understanding of security and planning that was needed to put something like this together was something he didn’t expect from an omega.

“She’s amazing, isn’t she?” it was more of a stamen from his side.

“I think we are getting one heck of a luna” Logan agreed.

Graham’s phone rang and he smiled when he saw his mates name on the screen.

“Hi” he said.

“Hi” Bella said, Graham could hear her smile. “I’ll be ready to head out in about ten minutes” she told him.

“I’m leaving right now, wait for me” he said.

“Do you think you could find your way on foot?” she asked, and his instinct was to huff at the ridicules question. That was until he realized, he wasn’t that sure he would.

“I think so” he told her.

“It will be quicker for you. The traffic this time of day in the city is ridiculous. I should have thought about that and called you earlier. I’m sorry” she told him.

“No, that’s okay. I’ll walk over. I don’t mind. Just stay put”

“I will. See you soon”

“See you soon”

He ended the call and entered the headquarters of HEI into his phone’s GPS.

“I’m heading out. I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I’ll check in with you in an hour” he told Logan. Logan stood up to head back to his own room.

“Have fun and say hi to the luna from me” he told Graham.
