Forbidden Love

Crescent Moon Pack

Aspen POV

Welcome to Crescent Moon pack where we have 700 members. My parents are the Alpha and Luna of the pack but also are the king and queen of all werewolves. I am Aspen the prince. I will be the next king once I find my mate. My father has trained me to take his place since I was born from tactical combat training, to finance meetings, and conferences with the elders and the alphas of the other packs. I am 22 years older and at 18 every one thought I would find my mate.

My mother Queen Amethyst has thrown a massive gala every year in the spring in the hopes that I would find my mate. She goes all out with these galas. Last year it was black and white themed and everything from the ice sculptures, to the live piano performance, and the crystal chandeliers all matched the theme. I love my mother for trying to push things along faster but I think the Moon Goddess will give me a mate when she sees fit and not before.

The pack lands is on the north side of Blackhead Mountain. We have over 600 acres of land which is mostly trees besides the river that runs along the south side of the pack and the clearing that is in the middle of the land. The clearing holds the pack house and 500 family houses that all look exactly the same and a servants quarters on the west side of the pack house.

The pack house is big for houses at least in my eyes. I have never been in a pack houses big than ours. It only had four floors and only three families lived in the pack house. Those families were; the Gammas family which was on the second floor, the Betas family on the third floor, and the fourth floor was as you could guess mine and my parents floor. The first floor was the most used of all the house it had the kitchen, the dining hall, the game room, and conference room.

In every pack you have male and female Betas and Gammas there rolls in the pack are to help the alphas and lunas of the pack. Betas are the right hand person and gammas are lead warrior’s that run the pack training and help with defense and war plans and strategies.

Once I become king of the pack my Beta will be my best friend Forest. We have been friends since we were babies. We played sports together and got into trouble together. I could talk to him about anything and everything, I trust him with my life. My Gamma would be my cousin from my mother’s side Castor. He is gentle and funny but looks like a tank. He is fast in speed and has strength beyond most wolves. He is smart and tactical when he fights. My father King Blade was happy with my decision and was proud of the bond I shared with both of them.

I loved my pack and the life I lived but I often wanted more or something different in my life.

. . . .

It was the weekend, Saturday to be exact. Forest and Castor wanted to go to the pack club like every weekend. They wanted to pick up the she wolves that were ready and willing. I on the other hand wanted nothing to do with picking up the she wolves and never have even though many have tried their hardest. I was never able to find them attractive enough to just let myself go. I never even had a girlfriend that was serious.

As I sit here in my desk computer chair looking at my phone screen waiting for a text to pop up from one of the guys. I needed to know what time we were heading out or if we were going separately. I was always last to know the plan.

There was no need for me to rush and get ready or stress about what I was going to wear. I always wore the same thing every day. That was a black v neck shirt and dark ripped jeans with black work boots to top it off. I never wore button ups or looked professional my father hated it but I loved being comfortable and confident.

As I sat here waiting I was getting impatient waiting so I texted Castor “ Hay man I am heading to the club meet you there”

Within minutes I heard a ding and Castors name popped up on my screen. I read the message “ okay man see you there” was all it said. I closed out my phone and shoved it in my pocket. Looked in the mirror to see if my hair was okay. I had dark brown shoulder length hair that was wavy I mostly wore it in ponytail in the back to keep it out of my face but when I go out I keep it down. Once I thought I was good to go I grabbed my wallet shoved it in my left back pocket then grabbed my keys.

As I headed out my bedroom door I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. As I walked down the hallway I ran into my mother she was talking to one of the servants about the next event on the event calendar that I didn’t pay attention to I just showed up to make my mother happy. I kissed my mother on the cheek and headed for stairs to make my way to front door. Once out side I made my way to my car. I drove a silver impala. I opened my driver side door and slid into the leather seat and started the engine. I rolled down my windows so I could feel the night breeze. The music came on louder than I expected and I quickly turned it down. I put my seatbelt on and headed down the driveway to main road that lead off the pack land. I was happy to be getting out of the house and away from the pack lands for just a few hours. This was the only time I didn’t have to be perfect or uphold certain standards.
