Understanding my mate

first encounter

I proceed to say, “hi” something short and simple. Her cheeks turn red again and she mumbles “hello.” Then I ask her, “are you planning to come to my birthday party tonight?” She looks confused when she says, “I never been to one of your parties, but my brother Alex is going” then she pauses and says, “Happy Birthday.”

Blushing at the end. I scoot my chair a little closer to her and watch her tremble a little. I just want to kiss her, damn this would be easier if she was a wolf. I say, “Thank you. I want you to come though.” “I don’t have anything to wear” she says in a whisper. That if I were not a werewolf, I probably would not have heard her clearly. “It doesn’t matter what you wear” I blurted out.

She giggles. I like that sound. I would let her laugh at me all day if she wanted. I suddenly get a mind-link from Tony, my best friend. Some pack business needs my attention. I curse mentally, rubbing my hands through my hair. As I start to get up, I look at my mate and smile. “Emily, I hope you choose to come.” I look at her, thinking if I should kiss her. I smile instead and walk away.

A small pack battle on my birthday. My mother will be furious when she finds out. Rogues are mysterious wolves. Some become rogues, simply for the fun while others had no choice. Our pack always tries to talk things out. It could save a life. Diminish grudges. Who would not want that, but then you get these ‘wild rogues’ who just want power and try to take over packs.

My grandfather when he was Alpha believed in the future. He believed we could be a stronger pack so instead of fighting with all rogues. We communicate with the leader if they have one or individually to whom the rogue might be. This change did not just save rogues' lives but also our warriors.

Men and women who had families. I believe it was an amazing choice my grandfather enforced. I rush home to get ready for my party that my mom is throwing. Thinking if I should tell her that I found my mate at school. Finding your mate is an amazing feeling that every wolf dreams about. But I am not sure how my parents will accept a human.
