Alpha's Enigmatic Mate

Is it mate?

2nd Nov 2021

"Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday, dear uncle Vinci. Happy Birthday to you..."

I tried to open my sleepy eyes, hearing her singing in not so soothing voice. She has been creating a disturbance in my sleep from the day she stepped in Southern moon pack. And now she has two little monkeys in her gang who were merrily jumping on my bed.

"Don't you have anything better to do so early in the morning" I got hold of those Chipmunks and cuddled them to sleep with me.

"What can be more important than your birthday, that too your 18th birthday." She argued with her hands on her hips.

"Can't a person sleep on his birthday. " I implied.

"Aren't you excited? It's your 18th birthday. You could meet her today..." She came and sat on the bed.

"IF. If she is in this pack." I tried to take hold of the little guy who was wiggling out of my arms.

"Ya so get up and go out.. Find her?" She insisted.

"What if she is underage still and will take me years to meet her?... what's the fuss, Jia. She will come to me if not today, then tomorrow." I countered.

"You know who she is right? You hacked the council database, isn't it." She looked at me with accusative eyes.

"Oh my sweet Luna, no one knows about the mates until they find each other." She slapped my arm.

"Whatever. Forget mate, you should be excited about your birthday at least"

"I am not a kid like you" I jested.

"What...I am a...Dani and mini... TICKLE..." she yelled and all three of them jumped on me and started tickling me.

"What is happening here? What's the ruckus about?" Great, just he was missing here.

"Daada....Daada." both traitors ran to their father, and so did their mom.

My big Bro. The big bad Alpha of Southern moon pack, Richard Anderson, goes mushy around these three. He scooped his kids up together and hugged his mate. No longer, they were kissing loudly.

"Goddess, what the hell." I mumbled.

"Can you please take your family lovydovyness outside my room." I suggested that earned my brother's focus on me, and he scrunched his nose.

"Warrior Vincent Stanford, you are still in bed!" I rolled my eyes at him. Jia whispered, 'it's his birthday today' in his ears, as if I won't be able to hear.

"So? Who said you have the liberty of sleeping late on your birthday. Anyway Happy Birthday." He brooded.

"Thank you, Alpha, am honored."

"Come Luna, we have things to discuss." He smirked at Jia and went away with giggling pups.

"Come down soon, we are cutting the cake because you are not available in the evening." Jia informed me.

"Yes I am going out with my friends to our cabin in the woods."

"Ya that, so let's celebrate now. Anyway it's noon, you wasted half of your birthday."

Jia Davis Stanford, Luna of Southern moon pack, still so innocent naive and caring. 

Hmm, you are not 18 warrior Vincent Stanford. I told myself. Soon l will be going to the Alpha academy for 2 years for training and then...then bro is going to give me 1/3 of his pack to run as an Alpha. Huff. I just hope I can handle all the responsibility, and I Hope I don't get my mate until then. So, now enjoy your day and rest of the remaining time. Mate can wait.

We had just reached the cabin after the celebration back home. Thankfully, my mate was not in the pack. I want a mate, no doubt in that, but it just gets a bit messy. I see my pack members with their mates they love them endless, ready to even die and kill for their mates. They turn into soft love sick puppy and me...I don't need all this as of now.

It was just four of us. Me, my soon-to-be beta Dalton, my gamma Hunter and my head warrior, Wayne. We are thick of friends, all still without mates. 

It was a beautiful night with skyful of stars. Moon goddess draped us in her alleviating light. We were sitting around the campfire relaxing and joking with eachother when a very strong smell hit me. It smelled like sandalwood, Strong and soothing. Does it mean what it means?

"Guys, I smell something very pleasant, and it's pulling me towards it..." I sniffed deeper.

"Oh f**k it's your mate" Hunter choked on his beer.

"No ways" Wayne said, looking around.

"Yo buddy, go for it, she must be near somewhere." Dalton suggested.

"Lets go and check." We stood up and started moving towards the dense trees in the direction of that scent, which was getting stronger to the point of intoxicating. With every step, I took on the damp roots filled earth, I was growing restless.

Something stirred in my head.

'Wakey wakey sleepy head. Something caught your attention?' I asked my wolf.

He stood up in full swing. 'That smell!"

'Aldrich? Is it mate." I asked, moving further in the forest.

'Oh! YES! SURE IT IS.' he beamed.

'Al, something is not right' my restlessness was increasing unexplainablely, now mixed with fear.
