Henry King (Noah's father)
•~•~•

'Thank god' I thought to myself when I woke up and didn't feel any pain or uncomfortable heat.

After three painful days, my heat has finally stopped. Well for the time being anyways.

I'm actually kind of surprised at how well Noah and his wolf controlled their urges and looked after me instead of focusing on finishing the mating process like other males would've done.

I'm extremely thankful for the way they took care of me.
He had stayed home with me and never left my side, always keeping some type of physical contact so it would ease the pain.
He had made several cold baths for me and washed me himself because I was too weak to do so, all the while controlling his needs.

I have to repay him some way and I plan to soon, when I think of something.

After the incident with the Beta, Noah kicked him and my dad off the land, threatening that if they came back there'll be war.

I felt him stir beside me so I turned to face him and caught his gaze as he opened his eyes.

"Morning beautiful" he smiled lazily and kissed my forehead.
"Morning" I smiled.

(AN: reminder, italics=mindlink)

"Feeling better?" He asked as he sat up, taking me with him and he wrapped his arms around me, my head on his chest.
"Much better. The heat is gone" I replied happily.

"That's good sweetheart" he said and kissed my head.
"Thank you for taking care of me and for waiting" I said as I looked up at him, smiling thankfully.

"I will wait as long as you need Lily, I never want you to feel pressured or uncomfortable" he said with a frown.

"Go get ready, I'll start on breakfast" I told him with a smile before skipping out of the room.

I entered the kitchen and began cooking his favourite breakfast, waffles, French toast and fruits; its become my favourite too.
I was humming a random tone and I swayed my hips to the beat when a set of arms wrapped around my waist.

I squealed and nearly knocked the pan off of the hob.
"Noah! You scared the crap out of me" I yelled at him.

"Sorry sweetheart" he chuckled " but with you swaying you hips like that while in only my shirt, I couldn't resist" he whispered in my ear, his breath tickling it causing me to shiver.

I looked down and realised I was in one of Noah's light blue button downs, with only my underwear underneath.

I turned a deep red and felt him shake behind me as he chuckled.

I hit his arm the spatula and told him to sit down while I set up our plates.
I placed four waffles and three pieces of French toast along with fresh fruit on his plate and put two waffles and one piece of French toast on mine, along with fruit.

"Your breakfast sir" I said to him, failing terribly at a posh British accent but I didn't care because I made him laugh.

"Why thank you my lady" he said back, also failing at the accent causing me to laugh.
I grabbed the cream from the fridge and poured some on mine then put heaps on his.

What? He likes his cream.

After finishing breakfast and washing up, we made our way upstairs to his office to do some pack work.

"Noah?" A feminine voice yelled from downstairs.
"Office!" Noah yelled back in reply.

A few minutes later his mother came in with a happy grin on her face.
"Hey mom" he greeted with a smile as he looked up from his paperwork.

"Noah there's someone who wants to see you" she said and her grin expanded.
Noah looked at her with a puzzled frown but it quickly disappeared when a man entered the room, smiling at him.

"Dad!" Noah grinned and he quickly stood up and went to hug the man.
"Long time no see son" his father chuckled deeply as he returned his hug.

"It's about time you got back" Noah said as he pulled away from the hug.

"I had some business to take care of" his father answered, seriousness evident in his tone.
"I see" Noah replied, pursing his lips.

"And who is this?" His father asked, noticing that I was also in the room.

"This is my mate, Lillian Wilson" Noah smiled proudly as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Nice to meet you sir" I smiled at him, holding out my hand out.

"You too Lillian" he replied, shaking my hand "but call me Henry dear" he smiled.

I nodded my head, smiling back. He seemed like a nice man but his appearance would suggest otherwise.

He's tall and intimidating, has a stubbled beard and shared Noah's mezmoriesing eye colour. He looked younger then he was, just like Madeline.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with both of you, if you're not busy" Henry said, his eyes flicking back and forth from my figure towards his son's.
"Sure" Noah replied as I nodded. I went to the chair in front of Noah's desk but he led me around his desk and sat me on his lap.

A bright red blush spread throughout my cheeks so I quickly dropped my head down, allowing my hair to hid it.
"Oh Lily" Noah chuckled behind me as he wrapped his arms around me, poking my sides, making me squirm.

I looked up and glared at him, only causing his chuckles to increase. I rolled my eyes and looked towards his parents, who were smiling broadly at us.

I elbowed Noah's stomach, catching his attention.
"Ouch! That wasn't necessary" Noah groaned as he frowned down at me.

I smiled and pecked his cheek before turning back to his parents.
"So" his father began "the topic is actually about you Lillian."

I looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.
"You're Lillian Wilson, daughter of Jacob Wilson and from Redmoon pack. Correct?" He asked.

I nodded my head, not knowing where this was heading.

"Well, I'm aware of how your father has mistreated you, along with a few others" he explained, slowly as if waiting for my reaction.

I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering how he knew about the abuse.

"We were informed by someone who witnessed your father mistreating you. So when I heard of this, I went to the werewolf council and informed them of the poor leading of the Alpha and mistreatment within the pack. They told me to come back with more evidence before they could take action so that's what I did"

"There's another pack who knew about the mistreatment and have been trying to find a way to stop it so we teamed up together. I got in contact with the witness from your old pack and what they told me was worse then I expected" he said, while shaking his head, his eyes on the ceiling.

"They had informed me, not only on your state at that time but also the things they discovered and I didn't realise it was that bad. When they had told me what the Beta was doing-" he paused, clenching his fists.

I felt Noah tense beside me so I looked up and noticed his eyes darkened as he glared at the wall.

I cupped his face in my hands and caressed his cheeks with my thumbs soothingly knowing it would help calm him down.
His eyes met my gaze and softened. I smiled at him and thankfully he smiled back, now calmer.

I intertwined our fingers and turned back to his father who was now holding his mates hand as she calmed him down.

"After being told that information, I knew we had to get you out as fast as possible" he continued after calming down.

"We were thinking of a plan to get you out of there when we were informed about a rogue attack at the pack and you had gone missing. I was at the pack discussing with the Alpha and Luna when Madeline informed me that you were at our pack but she failed to mention how you were mated to our son" he explained, glancing at Maddie who was smiling innocently at him.

"So now that you're here, I was hoping you'd testify to the council about how your old pack treated you and get the justice you deserve" he said to me.

I dropped my gaze to Noah and I's hands, thinking about it.

After a few seconds of deliberation I looked up, meeting his father's gaze and nodded my head.

"Was that why you wanted to know more about Lily when you found out she was my mate?" Noah asked his mother. She nodded in reply, scratching her nose.

Henry smiled at me and stood up.

"Well then, I'll inform the council and make an appointment" he said and left the room, Madeline following behind after bidding goodbye.

"Are you sure your comfortable with doing this?" Noah asked.
"I'm not letting them get away with what they've done" I replied, determination clear in my voice.

"As long as your comfortable baby" he said softly and kissed my head.

I sighed and cuddled into his chest, closing my eyes as he began running his hands through my hair. He adjusted me on his lap and continued his paperwork, one hand writing and the other playing with my hair.

I relaxed into my mates chest and closed my eyes, drifting into a peaceful sleep.
