The Alpha's Dream Mate

A long weekend

Casey.

I eventually made my way back into the dining hall, with my head up and my shoulders back, and headed towards my seat. Honestly, what was I thinking, Eislyn had always been very honest about how she was waiting for a mate. However she also gave off the impression she could care less if he ever found her. I hoped then, that maybe she’d give me a chance instead.

She painted me once. It was for my 16th birthday she had given it to me the day before. She said I was how she saw me. It was a portrait of me sitting on the pack porch laughing. She conveniently left out Adir, because I’m a hundred percent sure he was there with me. I cherished that painting. It wasn’t until months later when I realized another person was sitting by the tree in the background of the portrait, he was alone, he looked to have no face, but I knew it was me. That’s the day I realized what she meant and that she truly saw me.

Sure I’m the future Beta to one of the biggest packs on the coast. I had a good home, we were well off. I had good friends and a loving family. Sometimes though I just felt lost and overwhelmed, I had so much pressure on me to be the right hand of probably one the best Alphas of the future and it scared the s**t out of me. That was it, the moment I realized I was seen and I fell for her hard.

~Flashback~ My 18th birthday I was so excited I woke up brushed my teeth, took a quick shower, and headed to training. Today was the day. I could feel it, Eislyn would be mine, my mate. I started thinking about how, I wouldn’t waste a second once our wolves claimed each other. I’d take her back to my room and ravish her. I'd eat her sweet p***y until she came all over my face. Then I’d slowly pump my fingers into that tight hole. I just know it is, you see my Eislyn is a good girl, and she saving herself for her mate, me. Stretching her tight p***y, getting it ready for my big c**k. Then when she just about spent from finger f*****g. I’ll kiss up her body, and suck on her perfect n*****s while cupping those awesome breasts. Then I would line my c**k up with her tight sweet hole and thrust deep inside her. I know she’ll be able to take it cause she’s made for me.

Knocked out my thoughts by a clearing of a throat. I see it’s my bestfriend Adir. He looks at me curiously and then nods toward my lower half. “s**t” I mumbled. He just starts cracking up. I had a freaking hard-on and didn’t realize it. Thinking about Eislyn like that got me turned on but I’d never tell him that’s what it’s from.

“Goddess, dude, you Thinking about that she-wolf from the other day? What’s her name? Sara? NO. Kara, wait, oh wait, Tara?”. He said with a giggle. “Shut up Man”. I swung at him, but he was too damn fast. Yeah so I wasn’t a virgin, I know I should’ve waited for Eislyn but I wanted to know what I was doing when we mated. I didn’t want to fumble around all confused. So I hooked up with a few wolves mostly from neighboring packs, because I didn’t want Eislyn to have too many issues with jealous she-wolves. I knew that was her biggest fear.

Later that night was my party. I hadn’t seen Eislyn in months she was now living in the city for college. It was already 10:30 pm and the party started at 9 pm. Adir assured me she was coming. She was just bombarded with Luna in training duties and her college classes. I understood. But I was starting to get impatient. Then she walked in the door. The music was loud, and everyone was having a great time. Then the door opened and there she was. All I saw was her, everything around me seemed to disappear. She was wearing a gray asymmetrical mesh dress, with a cut-out across the top of her abdomen, that also exposed her back. It had long flowy sleeves. The top of it was tied around her neck. She had on tan platform heel boots. She looked like a sexy fairy. Her long curly hair was pulled into a half-up, half-down style I loved that on her. You could see she had an ornate gold ear cuff on. She was just the perfect mix of mystical, s*x, and strength.

When she finally made it to me her smile was big, she was so happy to see me, and she gave me a big hug. “ Happy Birthday!, Casey, I’m sorry I’m late”. She said as she was handing me a small box. Then I noticed, or it was more like what I didn’t notice. The electric touch, the tingles nothing, nada. Her smell was still the same she always smelled amazing to me but it didn’t engulf me. The final nail in the coffin, the finalization of my worst nightmare come true. My wolf didn’t say, Mate.

I took a step back, looking at her I was so confused, how? She was meant for me, I just knew it but I was wrong. She was looking at me like I burnt her, with worry in her eyes. Even in this moment she still cared for me, and saw the shift in my demeanor. I headed out of the party, and as guests tried to talk to me on the way out, I pushed them away. I heard my mom call me, but I ignored her, and than my dad stopped me in my tracks. “You heard your mother, what’s wrong with you, son”? I couldn’t even look him in the eye. Then I saw, Adir stride over toward me and my parents, Eislyn was following behind him. “Case” she called out. I wanted to go to her but I couldn’t. I ran, ripping my jacket off. I shifted into my wolf, Bodi. Running as fast, and as far, as we could.

{End Flashback}

Shaking my head, I snapped back to reality, I never thought I’d have a harder day than my 18th birthday. The disappointment of that day was nothing compared to today.

I took my seat, automatically my eyes drifted to Eislyn, I wished, she was looking at me like I always wished. Instead, her eyes were on him. Her mate.

Eating didn’t go so well for me everything tasted like sawdust. Eventually, the tedious task of lunch ended. Periodically Adir would glance over at me, he had sympathy in his eyes. It wasn’t, sympathy that I wanted or needed, it was Eislyn.

I made my way to an unoccupied corner, sipping on my whiskey. Sure it was early but I had a long day today, and it’s just getting longer. Goddess this is going to be a long weekend.

Looking out among the sea of Alphas, Beta, Lunas, and other high-ranking members of the Werewolf community. I did my best to keep my eyes off of Eislyn and I was failing miserably at it. That is when I noticed, a very beautiful, leggy blonde headed toward me.

She offered me her hand to shake. “Tonya, the pleasure is all yours,” she said a little over confidently. Arching my eyebrow at her, I took her hand giving it a shake. “OK, I’ll bite, I’m Beta Casey”. She was looking at me like I was her next meal. You have a pretty strong Aura for a Beta, Casey” " She let my name roll off her tongue like it tasted sweet.

“Is that so?” I could smell a rank w***e, a mile away, and Tonya, here was the best of them. But I didn’t mind the company I needed to get my mind off this mess. Maybe she could do with this whiskey couldn’t.

“ Well, Ms. Tonya what can I do for you”. “You could start by letting me know how you know that…”, She paused, as she seemed to be choosing her words. I arched my eyebrow. “Woman”. She stated almost like it almost caused her physical pain. “Now, why would that matter to you, I thought you were interested in me,” I said smirking at her.

“Maybe, I’m interested in you both. And from what I noticed you’re interested in her as well”. I felt a pang in my chest, was I that obvious?

“How about I tell you something about me, that Alpha she’s with is my boyfriend”. I stared at her a bit confused. “Well are you sure about that? If he’s your boyfriend why is he with her”? I asked.

“I was hoping you could tell me, we got into an argument and when he’s upset…well, let’s just say is better for me to stay out of his way”. The F**k is that supposed to mean? I thought I could feel anger and worry flashing in my chest. “ Do you mean to say he… he hits you”? She just dropped her eyes to the ground, not answering but not denying it either.

Where the f**k is Adir? My eyes scanned the room viciously. I’ll be damned if Eislyn ends up with an abusive mate. She’s strong, but he’s still an Alpha male and I’ll kill him myself before I let him hurt her.

Finally finding Adir, he’s talking with Alpha Cortez from the Flaming Moon pack and Alpha Sota of the Whispering Wolf pack. They seemed to be discussing lumber and fish trade. I sent Adir a quick mind-link. “Alpha some news just came to my attention. I’m not sure how factual it is but I think it’s worth looking into”.

“What news, Casey can it wait”? He replied. “Well it can, but it’s about Eislyn. How well do you know her Mate?
