As Branden got back from school, he headed straight to his father's office, he needs to speak to him about his mate, who he has found only she is human, as he gets to the door Ace says "you will be fine, I will help any way I can, we are in this together." so he knocked the door, his father says come in, as entering his father's office, soon to be his when he takes over the pack, the walls are lined up with bookshelves and many books that explain the werewolf laws, what the elders have written down over the years, some of them are written on scrolls others are framed and hang on the walls.
The office is very large, it has a corner sofa with a coffee table, the walls are painted silver, the carpet is light grey, in front of the big window is a huge desk, with a comfy chair and at the front of the desk are two chairs. Braden took a seat in one of the chairs in front of the desk, his father stopped working, looked up to his son and asked "what is the matter," Braden explained everything to his dad "well I met my mate today. She is human, Ace can sense her, and her scent is strong, the only problem is she doesn't know anything about werewolves."
His father gets up and goes around the front of the desk and hugs his son and congratulates him he says " It's about time son." and finally tells him that he can have a human mate, she can also be turned into a werewolf, but it isn't that simple, he explains that the girl has to love him and be in love with him for her to be able to fully turn into a she-wolf, and become the future luna of the pack, but first, he needs to get to know her, and then tell her he is a werewolf.
It will be a lot to take in because the humans have no idea werewolves exist and have only ever heard of them through books and movies, and to also scare young children so they behave. After getting all the information, from his father he then goes to find his mom, so he can share the news he has found his mate, but asks to keep it to herself he says "mom I know ur happy, but for the time being, no one can find out due to my mate being a human." his mom is over the moon that her son as finally found his mate, she carnt wait till she meets her, Branden says " mom it will take time, I have to get to know her, and with her not having a wolf, Ace carnt speak to her wolf, like he would if she was a she-wolf, so I have to do it the human way." his mom replies "ok son, I'm just very happy for you." he places a kiss on her cheek.
He heads to the library, to find every book on humans so he can find as much information as he can to win her over. After spending hours researching his future Beta finds him and asks "hey do you need any help, with his search?" he says " I think I have enough, and tomorrow I am going to talk, to her! but now I'm starving." so heads to the kitchen with Alex.
As they arrive at the dining room, the food smells amazing tonight is buffet style, there are trays and trays of different foods, they have three types of curry with rice, and sides there are chicken pieces burgers, fries, hotdogs, pizza, corn on the cobs, salad bowls, the lads walk in an start loading up their plates, with everything that's on offer, due to them being wolves they eat a lot of food and burn through it twice as fast as a human body does.
They all sit at the large tables, all the adults on one, all the kids from the top three families, the young kids sit with the adults to have some help with their food, and to stop them messing around at the dinner table. Braden is sitting with Alex and Aiden and their mates, Chloe doesn't live in the packhouse, so she is never invited over for meals and the Alpha and Luna doesn't want her in the packhouse, she is a trouble maker, and thinks she can order people around, she isn't a ranked wolf she is an omega but doesn't work her parents do, but they have a cottage on the pack land.
It was decided by the Alpha, that they are to live in the cottages, due to when Chloe realised she wasn't Braden's mate, she wouldn't accept it and she tried many times to sneak into his room and make him mate with her, she got very jealous of anyone who got close, to him and was going around the pack telling everyone, she was with Braden and no one is to go by him, or she will kill them!.
The Alpha had her family moved out of the packhouse to a cottage, and she was banned from entering the packhouse, she only gets driven in the same car as the rest to school, and Braden always sits up front with the driver so she never gets by him. After dinner, the lads go for a run to let their wolves out and gives Braden a chance to work out his plan on how he going to win Aura over.
