My Mate, My Hero

Work is calling

Conner

I stared out of the window of the hotel room. I could see the sea in the distance. It gave me a excited feeling, I loved water and especially the sea. Maybe, if the meetings didn't take too long, I could actually make a quick trip there and just breath in the salty air. Our pack territory back home was big and mostly wood land, but there was a lake in the middle of it and I loved going there for a swim. While I fought a bit to pull away from the sight of the sea, I caught a glimpse of myself in the reflection of the window. I definitely needed to fix my hair before I went to that office. While back in the US, the human and werewolf communities were clearly separated and we kept our distance whenever possible, this borders were more than fluid in other countries. Especially small countries, like Ireland. The pure size of the country didn't allow them to live in closed communities without raising questions from the human population. That's why I was here and had to sit through a meeting in this company, owned by my Irish cousin, Shane.

Shane's father was my father's brother and he wanted to study abroad. Yes, we do go to collage. While my father, as the oldest, had to stay close to home, as he had to take over as the alpha, his younger brother on the other hand, decided to take one semester in Ireland. My grandfather reached out to his Irish allies and arranged that Geoffry, my uncle, could stay with them, while living there. At the end of his semester, Geoffry's mate, Shiobhan, came of age, got her wolf and everything else is history. Geoffry Evans, being of alpha blood, mated Shiobhan Murphy, the daughter and only child of Alpha Collin Murphy. My uncle and his mate stayed in Ireland in became Alpha and Luna of the Diamond Lake pack. Their son, Shane, was born only a few days after myself and even though, we didn't really grow up together, we felt more like brothers.

During my youth, I visited Shane in Ireland a couple of times and he did the same in the US. We always had fun and stayed in contact. As we grew older, this connection got tested as we both had to take the responsibility of taking over as the Alpha of our packs. Shane and I couldn't visit as much anymore, but thank goddess, someone invented face-time. Shane called me few months ago, telling me about his problems with his company and was asking for help. My beta, Christopher, and I decided to fly over to Ireland to see if we could help. My father was looking after the pack while I was gone. Yes, we definitely were a close family and distance was never a reason.

I got dressed in my grey suit and choose the cobalt blue tie. My mother gave it to me as it was matching my eyes. One last look into the mirror and I was about to leave. I mind linked Christopher Are you ready? There was no answer. I loved Chris, as if he was my brother, but he was a womanizer and probably balls deep in some willing human at the moment. I checked my phone for messages and spent a bit time on f******k, before I tried it again. This time, I got an answer Sorry Conner! I was ... busy! But I meet you in the lobby in five! I was annoyed and didn't even bother to answer. I grabbed the briefcase and made my way to the lobby. A few housemaids crossed my paths, mainly young females, They looked at me, blushed and hurried whispering and giggling their ways. I smiled cockily. I knew what effect I had on the females of any species. It wasn't new for me and not so long ago, I was just like Chris. I was willing and literally took any willing female to bed. But since I became alpha, I decided to stay clear and wait for my mate. Sometimes it was hard and drove me on the edge, but I just kept telling myself and Myca, my wolf, that in the end, it would be worth it.

When Chris finally arrived, he gave me a sheepish smile. His nearly black hair was long and tied back into a man-bun, his steel grey eyes sparkling. He wore a black suit and no tie, and smelled like s*x. I gave him a look and said “You had no time to shower?” Chris slapped my shoulder: “Sorry man, this girl was like a beast! I met her at the bar yesterday evening, you know? After you left? I was giving it to her all night.” He made a suggestive motion with his hips and I couldn't help but laugh at him. Together we left and went into the cab waiting outside.
