My unscentable omega mate

Prologue.

Joshua is a werewolf, tall, young, blond with piercing, dark, deep blue eyes; he knows he is handsome, but he hides it, he doesn't want notoriety, kind, affable with great empathy, with a purpose to overcome. Being the cousin to the alpha leader of his pack, he has long searched for his mate, traveling the world in the hope of finding her.

Wolves are monogamous creatures, they live in packs in the forest, they are territorial and when they come of age they wait to find their mates to whom they are faithful until death. Their mates are their soul mates, the love of their lives, their reason for existing, and Joshua had not found the whereabouts of his.

The sadness and loneliness made him impatient, as the days turned into months and the months turned into years.

Although he has the appearance of a young man of 25 years old in reality Joshua has 223 years in which he had hoped to find his beloved; he dreamed of finding her, having a home, a family, and many children, but with the passing of the decades the dream was erased from his mind until it became such a distant memory.

Joshua lived with his cousin in a large mansion, the pack lived around the mansion, and they were almost like a small village within the thick and immense forest. His cousin and future alpha would soon enter college, he was young and restless, but he did not doubt for a moment that he would be a great leader. Evan stood out for his love for his land and his people, that's why he was sure he was a worthy heir of the alpha Oscar, his uncle, they got along very well, and like two brothers they loved each other very much.

Coming from a powerful pack he stopped concentrating on continuing to look for his luna. So when he came back home, he was no longer the same. He was upset, angry, frustrated, disappointed, and above all empty.

The wolves worship only one deity, and they call her goddess Luna, she is the one who created the lycanthropes, magical beings that carry an inner beast, they can become four-legged at will, but over time they can go mad, and let animal instinct dominate. Hunting prey without distinguishing whether they are humans, animals, or allies, and becoming uncontrolled killers.

That is why there are companions, the moon goddess created in their soul mates the power to calm the inner wolf and give it a new purpose, which is to love and care for its own. They are the backbone of a wolf and that is why finding them is so vital for lycanthropes.

The wolf castes are divided according to their strength, the born leader is called Alpha is the one who protects and guides his own, but still needs his mate or Luna. The Beta is the right hand of the Alpha, and his function is as an advisor to the Alpha to help him make good decisions, then come the warriors and finally the Omegas, they are small wolves and not very skilled in battle, so they are given simpler tasks.

The packs have a council of elders who guide everyone with strict laws, one of the most important: Protecting secrecy. They must remain a myth to mankind, already proven to be an untrustworthy race, when it comes to ambition and power they do not hesitate to betray their fellow man and destroy their own world and precious resources for money.

Wolves without a pack can abandon their animal side and put their people at risk, in some cases they are slaughtered for it, Joshua was sad if he didn't find her that could be his fate, to wander in solitude away from his own. More than the fear of dying, it was the pain of not being loved, in that time he found other arms, but not the warmth he needed and had dreamed of for so long.

So contradicting the moon goddess herself he asked the witch of his pack to cast the spell.

He hated the idea of being tied to a person he couldn't find, his wish was simple, even though it went against everyone's designs. He wanted to break the connection with the fated one, to stop being a half, an incomplete being, and become one. He was not going to look for her anymore and in his fit of rage, he decided to discard the idea of continuing to wait for her to come into his life.

The witch tried to break the bond so that Joshua could fill that void in his heart, but things didn't go as he expected. He would not recognize her by her scent, and neither would she recognize him. He had erased it so to speak, it was better to get the idea that his other half did not exist, that there was no one there for him.

“You will not be able to recognize your beloved by her scent... You will recognize her by her heart...”

The spell was already cast. "I am free" thought Joshua. Free to decide who to love and who to hate. He felt free to not follow the standards of the entire pack. Free not to suffer for not finding that match. Free because he would no longer suffer for love.

That emptiness inside him had disappeared along with the link he would have with his mate, but a part of his heart had been lost and he didn't know it. But that lost part of his heart had gone to his beloved…

…An omega. With a sweet look, a dreamy face, and a big heart. Full of pure feelings

Omegas are considered the lowest in pack status. Ignored, despised, and sometimes even forced to serve as slaves.

The omega that was destined to be Joshua's mate was destined to be saved by him before suffering a terrible end. But now that Joshua could no longer recognize her, could anyone save her?
