Chapter 283 Out Of My Way
Casimir’s hidden Queen. Book 3
Giselle
Finished
My name is Giselle and I am sixteen years old. Well, not yet. At midnight I will turn sixteen and that is only a few hours away. I am the youngest of three, my Sister is three months shy of twenty and my Brother turned eighteen about two months ago.
Our parents are Elite Warriors, just like my Brother, Grayson, and I am right behind him. My Sister. Gloria, is a different story, no matter what our parents have tried she turned into a superficial female and currently she is dating our future Beta.
“I can’t wait for midnight. Everyone will find out that 1m the future Beta female. Gloria announces as she walks into the kitchen.
“Gloria, if he was your fated Mate, you would have found out when you turned eighteen. You will leave that boy alone and hope that his fated Mate isn’t a Pack member or you might be in trouble for breaking a bond before it started.” Mom says and Gloria just rolls her eyes at her.
Dad gets up from his seat in the living room and Gloria is smart enough to know that she crossed a line, but she still tries to act as if she is better than the rest of us.
“Gloria, we have warned you about this and I am not going down that road again. If you interfere with Ivan’s Mate–bond. I will no longer be there to pick up the pieces. You will be on your own and I hope you can live with the consequences. Dad growls in her direction.
I doubt it impresses her much, but Gloria is smart enough not to talk back and five minutes later she walks out the front door.
Our Pack is gathered behind the Pack–house to witness the first shift of our future Beta. At midnight his eighteenth birthday will start and he will not only shift for the first time, but also be able to find his Mate. After all it is a Full Moon tonight and that makes his birthday even more special.
Mom, Dad, Grayson and I are standing to the left of the Pack–house, if things go sideways we can leave for our home quickly. Gloria is standing next to Ivan, not responding to Dad’s mind–link at all.
Elias, our future Alpha, has been glaring at Ivan since they walked out of the Pack–house and from time to time his eyes wander in my direction. I know that I am not his Mate, his Wolf didn’t recognize me as his Mate, when he turned eighteen about six months ago.
If I had to go by his behavior from before his birthday and after, I would almost say that he has an interest in me. I don’t really like him, because he is the same as van, both of them sleeping with Pack–members and that will complicate things for their Mates.
If either one of their Mates happens to be a Pack–member, I know there will be hell to pay. Not just from the female, but also her parents and many other Pack–members.
Our attention gets drawn to the back porch as Alpha Alexander walks out of the Pack–house and we all listen as he starts his speech. Telling us what we already know, we are here to witness a shift and possibly witness Ivan finding his Mate.
Gloria is leaning against Ivan, waiting for Alpha Alexander to tell him to get undressed and out to the circle nair Park has formed. Elise beene alaring at lvan and it creme then are havina an semument throuch their

mind–link, a link I will receive in a few days.
“Ivan, please get ready for your first shift.” Alpha Alexander says and I lower my eyes to the ground, I have no intention of seeing Ivan butt naked. I even looked at the ground when Grayson had to strip down for his first shift and he is my Brother.
“He has put on a robe.” Dad says through the mind–link and I slowly look back towards the circle of Pack-
members.
I hear Pack–members around us mumbling, it seems that our future Gamma is missing and I look around to find Avery near the tree line.
I hadn’t even noticed that he hadn’t been standing on or near the back porch, Grayson is mind–linking someone and as I let my eyes wander around the garden I see that Avery is also in a mind–link. I feel Grayson getting agitated and his eyes are glued to a window o
the second floor.
My hand is moving up and down his back, just hoping that it will be enough to calm him down. I don’t see anyone behind the window that Grayson is staring at and I hope that whatever it is that Avery is telling him can be resolved easily.
“Once Ivan has shifted, we are going home. We need to talk.” Grayson says through our family mind–link, but I know that he left Gloria out of it.
I have stepped closer to Grayson and I
see anger flash through Elias‘ eyes. I move my eyes towards Ivan, the moment I hear his first bone snap and slowly but steadily he transforms into his Wolf. A gray Wolf is standing inside the circle and slowly he turns towards us, just before he shifts back to his Human form.
“Mate.” Ivan growls, his eyes locked with mine and I just look at him. He quickly turns on his heel to Gloria, “I chose Gloria as my Mate.” He states as he walks towards her and she looks at me with a triumphant smile on her face.
Dad growls at his words, but Alpha Alexander holds up his hand. “Ivan has claimed Gloria as his mate. I grant him the claim he made on Gloria as his Mate.” Alpha Alexander says and without another glance at them I turn around.
Grayson wraps an arm around my shoulder and we head back to our house near the western border, both of us ignoring Elias who is calling out my name.
I am just grateful that I haven’t gotten my Lycan yet, it makes this a lot less painful. I wouldn’t want a Mate that has slept with my Sister or with other females from our Pack, I don’t think I could live with someone like that.
“Giselle, stop. Alpha Alexander wants you back at the Pack–house immediately, he wants to talk about what happened.” An Elite Warrior says.
“Don’t go back to the Pack–house, he won’t let you go.” Grayson says through our mind–link and Dad steps to my other side, while Mom steps in front of us.
“Day after tomorrow we will visit with Alpha Alexander tomorrow we are celebrating Giselle’s sixteen birthday. Now get out of my way or I will make you.” Mom says.
