Unmistaken Mate

Chapter 5

Kunle

Son I have arranged our flights to go see a seer , he is the best and oldest known, the sooner we get to the bottom of this the better, I'm not able to take my wife anywhere because the Luna responsibilities that should belong to your mate riddle her. If nothing comes out of this trip I implore you to take any decent girl from our pack and mark and mate her. I could not fight, as much as my father and I have different views on things, everyone has been patient with this matter, maybe my mate didn't want to be found, let's not forget that she can be anywhere in the world right now. It's not a lot of people that actually end up with their mates, I mean the girl could very well be in the north pole for all I know, I have traveled extensively in my line of work, but nothing so far, so maybe it's time I face the truth. I have done a lot for my pack for the past 7 years since taking over... Now with my 26th birthday coming I will select a female from the pack willing to bare my mark thus enabling my mother an opportunity to go on her long awaited vacation. A kind soul she has been, she has encouraged me to wait for as long as possible, she says nothing can come close to being with the one you are truly made for, even at her age she cannot absolutely imagine life with anyone besides my father, all I can say is I'm proud to be a product of that love.

We arrive in Accra Friday afternoon so we can comfortably drive the four hours to the seer before it gets dark. Kate our PA has booked us a decent place to spend the rest of the night close by, the seer insist to see you no later than 4am, Ade says letting out a chuckle... 4am... What are we? Is it by force that we must suffer like this I ask him jokingly... Hey don't shoot the messenger he says raising his arms... Ade insisted on coming with me, not only is he my beta but he is also my best friend, we have been through school together and got in a lot of trouble making unforgettable memories. I don't know why you even complaining isn't it you an early riser... He eyes me, yes my mind works funny even if I was going to do something,  once someone tells me to do it, I automatically don't want to anymore, I wont to do it out of defiance, must be an Alpha thing I suppose. I say this face palming myself. Well you should be done with your seer concoctions by noon then we can drive back to Accra and to rest before our flight the following morning. My father said the man is the oldest in his trade, I just hope he is not one of those trying to scam us out of money, when you have money everyone seems to think you their fountain of fortune, don't get me wrong I believe In giving, in fact I give out a lot considering I have way too much than I will ever need, I just don't like being conned.

I have been restless since my arrival here, tried to get some rest but could not close my eyes for longer than a minute, even after shifting for a run, was hoping I would get tired so I can get some sleep. But alas at 3 am I was the one waking my Father and Ade. It was agreed that my father and I will go in our wolf form while Ade follows in the car, just incase the rituals will leave me too tired to carry my own weight. The things we go through for love hmm SMH.

Nandi POV

Flight crew prepare passengers for landing, I shot up from my sleep in my half wake daze... Damn I can't believe I slept throughout the flight, I had a book I wanted to read through the flight but we'll I guess my body had other plans... Speaking of my body the voice or rather character in my head and has been restless, I think the working hard has put a toll on my mental health, I might have to get medical attention if this issue persist. Lol I should probably get my Gran's opinion considering that she is a healer, she knows herbs like the back of her hand, maybe she will give me something to fix my split personality and talking to myself, but for now I must get headache pills cos the pacing in my head is not being kind to my sanity.

The training went seamlessly, now my favorite time has arrived.... Touring, I want to go see outside the capital, the last time I was here I didn't get out of the city so now I want to do my touring justice so will see if I can get transport out, possibly see  the villages and try out local cuisine.

It was going well with my tour until some guy complimented me on my scent, why he didn't refer to it as perfume bugs me, not that I was wearing any. The compliment itself was not strange, I have grown accustomed to it, as I often get such from men and women alike would tell me of how good I smell, I hardly wear perfume because of my sensitive skin and sinus but alas apparently I don't need perfume to smell of perfume, my only issue with the weirdo was how he was violating my personal space, asking  how come I'm not mated. like dude as if its not enough that u speaking like it's in the old Era where people were ashamed to call things as they are, giving private parts nicknames and calling s*x other things besides s*x. Hold up we in the 21st century a woman don't need a man to be complete and we should not be ashamed if we not married by a certain age... AWEH MAH!!! this one is trying to annoy me, making e naarr mxm!!!

Don't get me wrong, I know I want to be ravaged but not by some sick looking weirdo who calls s*x mating, I took that as my queue to leave, hurriedly paid my bill and went out to catch the first taxi out of there, not before noticing this pleasant smell that hit my nose and a bit of tug sort of longing in my heart I could not explain, unfortunately I could not stay long enough to identify the source of the divine smell, good thing I'm going home tomorrow cos apparently I'm feeling weird  thing. I got to my hotel room, laid out the kente fabric I got for me and Thandi on the bed to admire the beauty, I swear our various African cultures are beautiful in their difference. " mate was there" I fell off balance, my own voice caught me off guard, yes ladies and gentleman I have a voice living in my head. It's been a while since I head it, it comes and goes, sometimes like when I arrived here, it was active and vivid, sometime's it weakens as if its about to die, either way... I won't wait around until I become full Loco before I seek help, I refuse to be a part of statistics of black people who refuse to see a shrink or admit to having mental challenges, will check it out as soon as I get home... "Mate? I see we have picked up new vocabulary" I snarl at the voice in my head assuming it got the new word from the weirdo at the restaurant, slightly remembering the sweet smell I could not place, that gave me a nostalgic feeling, a longing of a place I can't explain. Let me dial up Thandi to ask of her "Luna Coronation" these people are relentless lol, I know they been dating since I came back from varsity, or possibly before seeing that they went to the same varsity, also I have seen my brothers hoodies and shirts in her closet, a number of them even, even if they say shops sell similar clothes. I know without a doubt those belong to Langa. I will probably confront them about it when I get home and put them out their misery, watching them tip toe and sneak around me has lost its fun now, In fact I want to visit the village on my return, maybe even attend the coronation Thandi was speaking about.
