2096 Words
Roderick Today, I woke up early like normal days. It's just 5:00am in the morning. I decided to go to my office to work a little before visiting my company. My company consist of both humans and werewolves too. But the humans don't know of their existence. I don't go there everyday as I prefer to work in my office in the pack. But I don't know why Jimmy, my wolf has been restless and on edge, wanting me to go to the company today. As if that would make us to find our mate. This year makes it the sixth year since my eighteenth birthday and still, there's no sign of my mate. My parents were the Alpha and Luna of emerald rock pack, my pack. They were killed by a sudden rogues attack when I was 16 and since then, I had to do my best to protect the pack. With the help of my grandfather, I was able to become a good and reputable leader. And I have worked so hard to strengthen the pack even more, making sure that no rogues escapes or kills any members of my pack like they had done that night. That night will always remain a nightmare to me, the cold night which I had watched my parents gets brutally murdered while I just watched and couldn't do nothing. My dad had lost his life while saving my Mom who was heavily pregnant, but at the end, he couldn't. The two had ended up dying. I would've also died along with them if not for my grandfather and my dad's beta who had intervened. Hmmm, a heavy sigh left my mouth as I decided not to remember that night. I have been so busy attending to businesses, handling the pack and meetings, which makes it easier for me to forget the emptiness within me. Now my pack, is now the strongest in the whole of New York City. But even at that, I still need my mate, my pack needs their Luna. I know they don't want to complain because of how brutal and dangerous that I have turned since that night. But they knows that I love them so much and will do anything to protect them. And I know that they wants their Luna. My grandfather has been disturbing me to try harder and look for her, but I'm reluctant to do so. What if I don't find her at the end of the day? Sometimes, I feel like the most unluckiest person on earth for not being able to taste what it feels like to have a soulmate like the rest, maybe the Moon Goddess forgot to give me one. They said our mate completes us, they makes our soul whole and seriously I can see the truth in that with the way I'm feeling right now. It's been six years since I turned 18 and I feel nothing but emptiness and complete desolate. It's like there is a void in my heart that's waiting to be filled and it's only my mate that can do it. It hurts very much when I think about it and that's why I prefer not to. Jimmy is always howling and growling in anger in my mind everyday, sometimes he will stop communicating with me. But afterwards, he will calm down and talk to me, because all we need like my grandfather had advised, is patient. And to be honest, our patience is at its limit. I wish I could see the Moon Goddess, I would've asked her why she'd decided to make my life so miserable right from when I was very young. Hmmm...I'm not even concentrating on what I'm doing right now, so I got up from my chair, strip my clothes and quickly morph into my wolf as I allows Jimmy to take over while we took to the woods. This is only what I need now to calm me and my wolf down. I close my eyes and moan in content, the moment the cold night breeze wraps around us, it feels nice. "Don't worry, we will find our mate soon" I suddenly heard Jimmy say to me with full confidence and open my eyes immediately. It's been long since I heard him say anything to me. "Do you feel her?" I decided to ask, to be sure of what to believe. Even though there is enough assurance in his voice, I still want him to be more specific. But he ignored me, increasing his speed instead, paws hitting the ground at a very high speed causing the bush to pass us in a whim. I just sighed and relaxed as he took us on a stress relieving run. We got to our favorite spot and stopped as he allowed me to take over. I sat on a rock by the side of the pond naked, thinking about my life. I feel so lonely without my parents and my mate. After sitting there for like an hour, I morph back into my wolf as we heads back to the house, climbing up to the fifth floor to my room to go and take a fresh shower. After taking my bath and brushing my teeth, I wore my clothes and left the room, making my way back to my office in the first floor. I plan to work till it's time to go to the company and see what's happening there, like Jimmy wants. Savanna I slowly climbs down the stairs after the little ordeal with what's his name- Mason. My unknown silly brother. I walks into a living room. And felt my stomach rumble the moment a sweet scent wafted into my nose reminding that I'm a very hungry soul. I need some food. I did not even eat before dying. Through the little memories of my new body, I direct myself to the kitchen. It's just by the small hallway facing the parlor. I got into the kitchen and saw a woman that should be in her late forties if I'm right. She was a very beautiful woman. She has the same color of eyes as my new body, but her hair the same color as Mason's, black. I would've preferred this black hair to my fiery red ones. Maybe, I got my red hair from the man that's supposed to be my father now? But I don't have memories of him at all. Well, whatever! It's not as if I need it anyway. My heart fluttered as she suddenly smiles at me. It felt strange because nobody has ever smiled at me in such a genuine and caring way ever since my parents died. I slaps some senses into myself and pulled myself together when it suddenly occurs to me that those smiles wasn't for me. "Alice, oh darling looking all dressed up already. Have something before heading to work" She said warmly to me. And I just nod my head and silently took a seat. I suddenly felt pity for her because she doesn't know that her darling daughter is now dead and never coming back again. It would be so disheartening for any parents to know that they've lost their child. "Alice, what is wrong?" She asks, as her face changes to a worried one. "N-nothing" I forced a fake smile to appear on my face, trying to assure her that I'm fine. Of course I should be, since I'm blessed with a second life even though I had rather remain dead. I don't have a reason to continue living so why should I be happy? I heard her sigh as she sat beside me and cups my cheek with one hand. I blinked confusedly as I stared at her with total surprise in my eyes. What does she think she is doing? I only calmed down when I saw the genuine smile on her face, I instantly plastered a fake one on my face again. "I have told you not to be sad about your mate. You will surely find him in due time" She suddenly said and once again, I was sunken into obliviousness. What the hell is mate? And what is she talking about? There was no expression on face, apart from confusion making me widening my eyes in bewilderment. In my confused state, i was pulled into her arms as she patted my back in a soothing way, making me close my eyes. She is supposed to be my mother now, right? Let me just enjoy the comfort for now. I wish to ask her so many questions, but that would only make her to suspect something. "Who cares if you're 23? Our Alpha is 24 and he is yet to find his mate too. There are several unmated wolves in the pack, so don't feel left out and lonely, ok? Your brother just met his by chance and do not let it weigh you down. He is even older than you." She completed before pulling me out from her embrace and smiled warmly at me. I know I shouldn't bath in the glory of this kindness, but I just can't help it. She is the type of mother that everyone would be so proud to have. At this moment, I started to miss my Mom. She pinched my cheek and said, "Now eat your food before it gets cold" I should say thanks to her, right? "Thanks, M-mom" Mom? It felt weird in my mouth after so many years without having to say it. "You're welcome, my baby" I grimaces silently and just focus on the food before me. What baby? While I was eating, my silly brother finally came down and sat opposite me. He has changed his shirt. "Oh, Mason. What too you so long? Why did you change your shirt?" "I took a quick shower, Mom" He replied, looking at me with a blaming eyes. The smile on my face vanished instantly, and I lost my appetite. I don't like to eat with murders on the same table. "I will be getting up first" I told the woman, that's now my Mom and head upstairs to grab my bag, so I could go to work. I'm very excited. I can't believe I'm doing a real job for the first time in my life. I must explore in this my new identify. As I walked up the stairs, I heard the conversation between those two drift to my ears making me pause in my movement and listened attentively. Men, I love this gift. "What is wrong with your sister?" "I thought she is your favorite and pampered daughter, find out by yourself" "You don't talk to me that way, be nice to your sister and stop treating her like an outcast. Your father's death wasn't her fault. Don't let my anger to descend on you" "Yes, Mom" I could feel the Mason guy huffing at his mother. So the father of this house is dead? Hmmm, I nodded to myself as I grabbed my bag and quickly left the house. I got outside the house and saw two vehicles parked in front of the house. I saw a car key on the table in my room, but I obviously don't know how to drive. So I walked back inside and made my way to the house. I smirked to myself as I felt my new brother's body shiver as his face twisted in a hidden fright when he saw me. Only me could see these silent emotions. "W-what do you want?" He stammered. "Can I see you for a little moment?" "What is wrong, Alice?" I grimaced silently at the name, before flashing my supposed mother a fake smile. I don't like that name, and I will get her to stop calling me that soon. "Nothing so important, Mom" I said to her before turning to face Mason who instantly shivered slightly. I just glared at him at an angle that our mother wouldn't see, before turning my back and he naturally followed me. "What do you want?" He asked impatiently as we got to the porch. "Nothing, just be my driver" I smiled evilly at him while he just stared at me with both shock and disbelief written on his face. He better not dare to refuse or else, I will chop his head off. In fact, I plan to make him my driver for a long time while I gradually find out about this place that I found myself in.
