Chapter 206: Chapter 197: The mate of the future Alpha
The past week has been hectic for the students of Burkendall High School and it was finally over. Their finals were done, exams were no more and what was left were some assignments and reports that they have to submit to their teachers.
The week had gone so fast, it was as if the exams did not happen at all (the author was too lazy to talk more about exams in the previous chapter). But it did, much to the students' sadness.
Since their examinations were over, the students did not need to attend classes anymore, other than homeroom. This was specifically for those who needed to submit their assignments and reports. Although Erick was done with his work, he still went to school because he needed to attend practice since the team will be fighting for the year's championship.
The day after the exams were over, he was inside the school library with his chin propped against his palm, watching the girl sitting next to him.
He looked around him lazily. It has been a while since he last stepped in the building. The library was quiet as usual; only sounds of scribbling, scrapping of the chairs and tables and so forth could be heard.
He looked down at the girl once again. If it wasn't because of her, he wouldn't have come here.
That same girl turned her blond head to him and pouted. "I'm so tired," she complained, shaking her hand as if to show how aching it was.
Erick could only smile as he took her 'aching' hand and massaged it.
Amber narrowed her eyes at him. "What's with that smile?" she asked suspiciously.
Erick blinked his eyes innocently. "What?" he asked back. "Can't I just smile for you?"
She rolled her eyes and pulled her hand away. She then turned back to her notebook and continued to write her report. She was actually one of the students who hadn't handed in their reports so she had to go to school to do it. She probably could do it at home but then, she wouldn't be able to ask Erick for help.
While Amber was doing her report, Erick, who was getting bored, started to look around him again.
It was then he noticed a group of guys walking in the library. He recognized them as Krys' friends back when he thought he was just a normal human. Surprisingly, when Amber confronts them about Krys, they do not have a clue about who Krys was. They were baffled as to why Amber was scolding them about someone they do not know. When she showed them a picture of Krys, they still do not know who he was.
At first, Amber and Erick thought that they were lying to them and were hiding Krys from them. It was then when Amber went to meet the teacher who was in charge of the school committee that they realized that the guys were telling the truth. Krys does not exist in the school records at all!
It was as if their memory of Krys Williams were removed completely.
The two were perplexed about the whole situation. When they told Hamish and the others about this, they, too, were shocked. It seems like he had planned all this way before.
Erick gritted his teeth in frustration, his fists clenching. He could not wait to tear that guy apart after lying and trying to kill them. Especially when he got Amber involved.
Noticing that Amber was looking at him weirdly, he quickly changed his expression, forcing a smile. Amber narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him before turning back to her report again.
He inwardly sighed as he looked around his surroundings again.
Since they were in their senior years, there probably would not be enough time for him to enjoy all these facilities once they graduated. Although graduation seems far off, time has flown by so fast, one would not realize it. Hence one should take their time slowly and enjoy the moment.
He sighed inwardly. Truthfully, he was more eager to start his holiday than thinking of graduation. Once the holiday season had started, he wanted to straight away look for Dane's last fragmented soul. He felt that it was finally time.
He looked over at Amber. And perhaps it was finally time to fully become true mates with her.

It was finally the last day of Remi's treatment at the Cairin Oaks. Eren, who had been accompanying his son for the last couple of weeks, was amazed at how much the treatment worked. He was grateful that there weren't any side-effects to the treatment as he had dreaded.
In fact, Remi looked more healthy than he ever was before. The hospitality that they had received in the Oaks was amazing as they treated them as VIPs. Though, of course, the two did not take advantage of their kindness and were willing to help and do whatever was needed. After all, it was for the good of Remi's health.
Eren did not know how the procedure and the process of treating Remi goes since he was told to wait outside while Remi was left alone with the pack doctors. But he knew how painful it was, looking at the pallid look on his son's face.
Yet Eren was still proud of his son. Even the pack doctors complimented Remi's courage and bravery as he never let out a shout of pain nor cry when they did the treatment on him. What the doctors didn't tell Eren was that, although Remi did not cry out, he did faint out of pain. They did advise the boy to just shout if he's hurting but he was adamant to not cry because he did not want his father to fret if he heard him cry.
They had spent hours inside the treatment room where Remi was being treated. Outside the room, Eren was waiting patiently and quietly, his eyes on the door.
That was where Isaiah and Ezekiel found him. They knew that Eren and his son would be leaving once the latter had been treated and rested. As much as they wanted them to stay because they were worried that they would get tired. But Eren, even after he apologized for being rude and ungrateful, he was worried about his wife and daughter back home.
Ever since he knew about the existence of shifters in their town, he could not risk getting his family hurt once more. He knew that not all shifters were bad. Yet, not all shifters were good as well.
"Hello there," Isaiah greeted as he walked over to Eren, with Ezekiel following behind him.
Startled by the sudden greeting, Eren quickly stood up. Then remembering his manners and how Roel had called him, 'Alpha', he knew that this man was someone respected and of the highest ranking in the pack hierarchy.
He quickly bowed a little and greeted back. "Hello," he said. He then quickly added, "I'd like to thank you again for my son's treatment."
Isaiah brushed away his thanks with a wave of his hand, implying that it was nothing much. Seeing that Remi was one of his son's victims, he actually felt that this wasn't much of a help. They deserved much more. Hence the VIP treatment.
"So, you won't be staying for at least, one night?" Isaiah asked, his hands behind his back as he stood in front of Eren.
Eren went quiet as he began to think. He was quite worried about his wife and daughter.
"I'm sure that your wife and daughter will be fine," Isaiah reassured him, knowing what the other man was thinking. "In fact, they are in the good hands of the Kendall pack."
"Kendall pack?" Eren repeated, looking confused.
It was Isaiah's turn to be confused. "Don't you know who the Kendall pack is?" he asked. He found it strange that the man didn't know about the Kendalls when it was the latter who brought him and his son here.
Before Eren could answer, Ezekiel leaned closer to whisper in Isaiah's ears. Realization dawned on Isaiah after Ezekiel had told him something.
He turned to Eren, who still wore a confused look on his face.
"The Kendalls are the pack who lived in Burkendall. In fact, your family is involved with them."
"My family?" Eren felt stupid as he became more confused.
Isaiah nodded. "Erick Kendall. The son of the Kendall pack. The future Alpha of the Kendall pack."
Eren's eyes widened in shock when he heard Isaiah's words.
His jaw dropped open too when Isaiah ended with, "And your daughter is the mate of the future Alpha, Erick."
