Everything in-between

(Zen's POV) It was the 7th of July when I first heard my wolf. I was surprised, not shocked because I am the first born son of an Alpha so I knew I would get my wolf eventually, but surprised in a way that I didn't know how whole I would feel once he finally came to me! Roman. That's what he told me to call him. It was so fitting because I've always felt like I could conquer anything that I do. My actual name is Zayden even though everyone calls me Zen. Which is funny cause I can go 0-100 real quick, that's why I always find myself in some trouble. But anyway, I was so excited when I first heard his voice. I thought everything was going to start falling into place for me. I would find my Mate and my family would finally see me as a person who can lead this pack instead of the screw up that they always had to bail out. But that was when I was turned 18. I'm 24 now and I am still not Alpha, still have not find my Mate and currently talking my way out of going to jail tonight for getting into a bar fight and beating a man half to death. **3 hours early** (Zen's POV) Club Moon not a very catchy name for a werewolf bar and club but it's actually nicer than some might think. The structure is an old warehouse but the owner really did a number on the inside. Spent almost a million on design, furniture, state of the art kitchen with all the new appliances, overall decor is just a slam dunk if I do say so myself. It's urban but still modern. An amazing graffiti mural is on one entire wall while the my rest off the club is black and white and gold all over even the furniture. I should know my best friend is the owner. Cory. Cory and I knew each other our whole lives. He's 24 and has also yet to find his mate. He's says it's because we will find our mate at the same time since we've done everything else together in life. So since I haven't found mine he still hasn't found his. We are like yin and yang but that's why we work so well as best friends but more like brothers. He also just so happens to be my Beta. Whenever that will happen. "Hey Zen how about another shot!" Cory yells "You said that 15 shots ago," I laugh not even feeling the buzz "This liquor isn't even doing anything" **hiccup** "Yeah it's not doing anything" "Shuut up Roman youu know I cannn handle human liquorrr "Oh yeah so why are you starting to slur your words" "Shut the f*** up I'm blocking you out" "Block me out and you won't be able to hold back and you know that" And with that I block him out. I can't have my wolf always trying to ruin my fun. Especially when half the time he's right but right now I just need to drown my problems away in this bottle, these strobe lights and this music that's pounding my head. "Heyyy shouldn't you bee running thisss place right now." " Nah man that's what I have a manager for. Times like these when all I wanna do is kick back and get s***faced with my bro" See this is why he my right hand man "hey how are you not as drunk as meee" I really need to find some water "Because man this is my place I know how to handle my liquor you light weight" Okay so I'm not a drinker but that doesn't mean Im a light weight. And then deep in my thoughts about how much more liquor Cory is going to have me drink I smell the most intoxicating smell of my life. Mangos and Sunshine. You're probably thinking to yourself what does Sunshine smell like..well the best way I can describe it is warm, captivating and you just want to stand in the middle of it and let it encapsulate every fiber of your being. I had to know where it was coming from. As I make my way through the crowd I can feel Roman getting more and more anxious but excited. "Mate!" He proclaims. Which just got him and me even more excited as we continuously push our way through the thick crowd of mostly drunk supernaturals and some disgustingly drunk humans. I swear humans can never hold there alcohol. "Says the werewolf who can barley make it through a crowd. All stumbling and s***." "Ohhh shut up Roman and help me locate our Mate. For once do something useful with your life." "Well my life is your life so whose really the non useful one." Just as I was about to block him out again. Mangos and Sunshine hit me like a ton of bricks. "Mate!" But what I saw at the bar made both me and Roman go full on wolf.
