The Alpha's Broken Mate

Chapter 2

*Lucas*

    "Hello mother." I said as I walked into the pack house at one in the morning. 

    "My darling, why are you coming in so late?" my mother asked.

    "I was taking John home after a night of drinking. His mate was worried after they got into an argument and he left angry. She called me after he didn't come home in five hours. I had to make sure my beta was doing anything stupid." I replied.

    "Is he alright?" my father asked from the kitchen table.

    "Yes he is. His mate is taking care of him now. I am going to go to bed now seeing that is late and I have training in a few hours."

    "Alright, my darling."

    "Goodnight mother. Goodnight father."

    "Goodnight son."

    I walked up the stairs to my room exhausted. I went out to help my beta not just to bring him home to his mate, but to also see one of my mistresses. I am twenty-two years old and I haven't found my mate. It didn't bother me. There was plenty of females around to keep me satisfied. Every one knew my reputation. I didn't want a mate. Mates showed weakness and they always got in the way. Since I was Alpha thought, I need to find a mate in order to accept my position. The pack needed a Luna. I needed to become Alpha. It would be a win-win situation for us all.

    As I walked into my room, I felt a pain within my chest. All of a sudden I fell to the floor. I clutched my chest as I felt sadness and dread claw its way through my entire body. I felt the tears that stung my eyes and I knew that I would start crying if I didn't calm what ever was making me feel this way. I started thinking of the lake I often went to. Remembering the calm waves and the smell of the ocean breeze. As I started concentrating harder on the waves crashing against the shoreline, I felt the sadness fade and the tears stop. I opened my eyes and the connection stopped. I got up and raced downstairs to consult my father on what just happened.

    "Mother! Father!" I yelled as I threw open the kitchen doors.

    "What is it, son?" my father asked as he and my mother pulled away from each other, clearly in an intense make out session.

    "Something happened." I stated.

    "What happened?" my mother asked. "Come here and sit down."

    I walked over to the kitchen table and sat as I tried to form the words into my head in order to explain this to them.

    "I felt something that wasn't mine. Feelings that I wasn't feeling." I stated.

    "Explain." replied my father.

    "I was walking into my room when all of a sudden I felt so much sadness it began to hurt. I felt tears come to my eyes that were not mine. I didn't know what to do so I thought of something else until the pain subsided."

    "Ah." my parents replied looking at one another with a smile.

    "What is it?" I asked them suspiciously.

    "Your experiencing the mate connection, son." my father replied.

    "You see my darling. Only Alpha's can feel their mates feelings when they are strong enough. Your father felt mine when I was in college and my team won the State Championships for Volleyball. He was able to feel the happiness and excitement that my body gave off. It's a connections that our line only feels. I could only start feeling your fathers' once we mated as I was not Alpha bloodline." my mother explained.

    "It has been in our family for generations. We are not sure when this started or how, but our pack Alpha's are the only ones who can do it. No other Alpha's from any other packs can feel this connection with their mates." my father continued.

    "You should feel excited, my darling." my mother said. "You can feel your mate now. After four years of being alone, you can use this connection to hunt down your mate and claim her as your own. Soon you will be able to bring your Luna home!"

    I continued to sit there as I let there words sink in. During the explanation, my wolf was aching to get out and go hunt down our mate himself. 

    Let me our of these bars. Let me take control and bring our mate home! Someone has dared to hurt what is ours! my wolf screamed.

    No. It serves that b***h right for whatever she did. We don't know the story. 

    How dare you say that about our mate! She is innocent and ours! You wanted a mate a long time ago! What the hell happened!

    You know what happened.

    That was long ago! Let me out! I want to find our mate!

    No. Now shut up and let me talk to my parents.

    "Are you alright, son?"

    "Yes, father. That was a lot to take in and I wish I knew about it before so I would be ready for it when it happened."

    "What are you going to do my darling?" my mother asked. "Your mate was obviously feeling very hurt about something. Did someone hurt her? Are you going to leave to go find her?"

    "No mother. I don't know where to even start looking for my mate. I will go find her soon. Once I get more of an idea on where she could be." I replied. "Thank you for this information mother. I shall be going back to my room to get some rest now."

    I got up and headed back to my room.

    What are you up to?  my wolf asked.

    I have to make it look like I care about that b***h or else they will begin to get suspicious of me and why I'm not concerned about her well being.

    You asshole! Are you even going to go after her?

    No. When the time is right, she will come to me. We don't even know what she smells like or where she is. She will just have to suffer a little longer.

    f**k you! You are willing to let our mate continue to get hurt! I hate you!

    You will get over it.

    I pushed my wolf's rattling to the back of my mind. It was time for me to get some sleep. A part of me wanted to go find her, but I knew better. Females were weak and she would be no different. I changed into my pajamas and climbed into bed. Before giving into the darkness I heard a voice tell me to watch my actions.
