My werewolf mate

THE SEARCH

I sat as I watched Austin give orders to the police, he decided we start from there to find my mate. I was not in the mood to discuss anything with anyone, it took a lot of effort mentally to not hand control over to Bolt. After he dismissed them, he asked me to follow him to the car. "Where are we going?", I asked, giving him the I'm still your alpha, you don't command me look. "We're going to get reinforcement. Trust me", He sounded confident. Of course I trusted him, we grew up together and Austin has protected me with his life on numerous occasions. He was younger than me with a couple of months but he was always the matured one. We drove for a couple of minutes before I realized where we were going, The pack house.

"Why are we going to the pack?", I didn't want anyone to know that I found my mate and lost her. It's already enough that rumors were going round that the moon goddess forgot me or I was gay. I didn't want them thinking I was also incompetent, I was still their Alpha. "If we want to find your mate, we'll need to sniff her out. Either that or wait for months for the police", he answered respectfully. I took a deep breath and decided it's worth it. "Just don't let this news go public", I reluctantly agreed. Bolt howled in my head, he would kill anyone who dares to say a thing about our mate. We arrive at the pack house, it hasn't been long since I last came home but it still made me realize how much I missed it. I started staying away from home a lot longer to avoid the rumors, the girls who were trying to seduce me and my mum who keeps trying to setting me up with girls. The pack house was a huge white building, it was an old mansion but it gets renovated every year, it has 18 guest bedrooms, 2 master bedrooms (each with a walk in closet and wardrobe), a large dining room, 2 living rooms, a huge library (which is rarely used), a state of the art training chambers, a grand kitchen, 21 bathrooms (all equipped with bath tubs and showers), the servant quarters are right behind the main building, it houses over a hundred servants but they are well taken care of, two gardens lines the each side of the mansion and a walk way in the middle. I remembered playing in those gardens when I was a cub. At the back of the mansion, was another garden, this was mum's personal garden, she tends to it herself, it has the most exotic flowers and trees, in the garden was a hammock which I can't count how many times, I fallen asleep in it. That garden was my favorite part of the house, it was peaceful and I could hide in it for hours unend. This memory made me chuckle, I wonder if I could still hide in there.

We walked up the stairs and into the grand and first living room, it was decorated with white, sliver and blue as usual. The pack house must always bear the colors of the pack (the sliver moon pack) except on special occasions. My mum came down to meet us, she looked very happy, she never seemed to age, but now her glow has dampened. The fire in her eyes had been quenched ever since dad died, it took a lot of time for her to get over it and I don't think she's fully over it, I'm just glad she didn't die. The death of one's mate can have dire consequences on the werewolf. I gave her a hug. "Welcome home my sons. Come eat something", she said, she considered Austin her son too. "No ma, we're came for something important." I explained. Her face fell, I knew she misses me and being home alone makes it harder for her. "After we're done, we'll come eat", I tried to cheer her up. Her face brightened again. Austin gave her a hug and we both went through the corridors to the training chambers. We were sure to find some agile youth werewolves here.

Indeed we found about seven young male werewolves, I don't remember their names because I was seething. I just realized that this unmated werewolves will have to sniff my mate in order to find her. I remembered her scent and this infuriated Bolt, in his mind, she's already his. One of the young werewolves asked what to do when they find her, if they should bound her and bring her here. Upon hearing him speak about touching her, Bolt took over. He grabbed the young werewolf's neck and raised him from the ground. He was choking but Bolt didn't care. "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING HER, EVEN THE THOUGHT IS LIABLE TO DEATH!!", Bolt warned, Austin quickly grabbed my hands and pulled me away from the werewolf. He fell down trying to get as much air as he could. I calmed down, Austin pulls me to the side and explains to me that he didn't tell them she was my mate, "I told them she was a suspect in a fraudulent act to your company, that's why he wanted to bound her. You'll give yourself away if you don't control your emotions", Austin explained. I tried to relax and he sent the werewolves on their journey with the description we have.

Later that day, after freshening up, we sat down to dinner with my mum. I still couldn't get her out of mind, is this what the mate bond does to you? It feels like I'm losing my mind.
