What he needs

Nathan’s POV. “YOU NEED TO FIND YOURSELF A MATE FIRST!” My father yelled at me. We always have the discussion about me not finding my mate yet. I am not allowed to take over the alpha position without my mate, it makes me and the pack weak he says. “But dad you know that I am not weak, I’m stronger than anyone in this pack, I don’t understand why we always have to argue about this” I spat back at him. “I don’t care who she might be, as long as you complete the mating ritual with her” he said a little calmer. I did not really want a mate, but to be able to secure an heir to succeed me when I get older, I’m in a desperate need for one. It is a tradition that all to be alphas need a Luna. “Son, I’m done discussing this. You have 100 days to find a woman and complete the mating process or else I will find someone else to take the position as alpha” “But dad you can..t…” “I can and I will. You are 23 you have had years to find a mate, I’m done waiting” with that he left my office and disappeared down the long hallway. I sighed. Through the pack link, I summoned my best friend Aiden, who is supposed to be my beta when I take the alpha position. It only took a couple of minutes before I heard two knocks on the door, which meant he had arrived. “Come in” I said in a stern tone. “Alpha” he said as he closed the door behind him and found his way to one of the two chairs on the opposite side of my desk. Aiden was a bit smaller than me, he liked keeping his blond hair short on the sides and longer in the middle so he could put it in a ponytail, with his blue eyes and tattoos the girls liked him a lot. Though he had already found his mate Miranda, which meant that he didn’t give girls a second glance. “You know I’m not alpha yet” “Fine. Nathan what do you need?” he said leaning back in the chair making him self comfortable. “I need to find a mate fast; my dad gave me a hundred days to do so. He even told me he would find another for the job if I failed” “Wow, that’s a bit harsh, but I understand, the pack will be weak if you don’t” “What do you suggest I do?” I asked a bit defeated. “Well, you need to choose someone that you are confident can produce proper heirs, for that you should choose someone who is smart you don’t want stupid children when that time comes. “I’m the alpha, I don’t need a mate so if I am to find one, she needs to be know her place, which is below me I am in charge” I didn’t need a mate who think she can interfere with my pack business, I decide what happens within the pack territory, I am to be the commander in chief. “Don’t we all want a submissive partner?” he commented with a smirk. In this pack the men were the authority and women were mainly here because children don’t make themselves. We talked for a while longer and ended up behind the computer logged into the university’s enrolments list. We went through the pictures of student who could have potential as a possible mate, but they weren’t really satisfying enough. Either they looked good but where dumb (according to their GPA) or else they were nerds who looked like… nerds. After a long search we stopped and decided just to keep an eye out when we went to school tomorrow. As we were done, I went out in the corridor, turned left, and followed the stairs to the second floor of the packhouse. The interior was classic but a bit because we always tried to preserve the packs history. When I arrived at my room, I went to my closet and took a pair of briefs and went to my private bathroom. I took a shower, changed, and soon found myself falling asleep I my king size bed.   Emma’s POV. I was driving my car with the radio on, in a low voice singing along to the different songs that were playing throughout the ride. I was driving behind my mom who were driving behind the truck with all our belongings. Yes, we were moving…again. Despite my age of 22 I was old enough to live by myself, but since my dad passed 5 years ago, we had decided to stay together. We arrived at our new house and my mom hurried out of her car to unlock the front door. The two guys in the truck started carrying our furniture inside. Because of some issues from our previous landlord, we had arrived a day late, which meant I needed to hurry up and get my room ready before my first day as a transfer student at the new university tomorrow. “MOM! Let me help you with that” I squealed she was trying to carry two boxes at once which seemed to heavy for her. My mom was a very determined woman, she wanted to do things by herself, but I didn´t always let her, she needed help. “Thanks honey, but I got it” “I know you do mom, but I want to help you!” … It took a couple of hours, but we finally managed to get all the furniture and the boxes in the respective rooms. I was lucky, I had the whole first floor to myself. It contained one big room and a bathroom. In one end the wall was a window with a view directly at the forest beside the house. I had a new bed with an older frame around it, it made the bed have an older look, I liked that, I also had a large mirror in the same whitish color as the bedframe. And then a lot of boxes that needed to be unpacked. I sorted my clothe and put it in the closet and then finding my laptop. When I was done, I went downstairs and helped unpack while my mom ordered food. We stayed up late eating, unpacking, and talking. Just what we needed. After my mom went to bed, I cleaned a bit an then got my self ready to go to bed. In the bed I went to the university’s website, I needed to order some books so I could pick it up tomorrow, I was even able to find a map for the building. I tried to memorize the map In my head, but I failed miserably when I fell asleep. … I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm. It was 06:30 AM, some might think it is a bit early when the first class only starts at 9, but I like to run. It is not every day I run in the morning I also sometimes do it in the evening. I wanted to get a fresh start, so I got up, put on my Nike sports leggings, a sports bra, a sport jacket and shoes. I slowly made my way downstairs; my mom was still sleeping. I opened the front door and inhaled the fresh air. It was a bit chilly but nothing I couldn’t handle. Once I got back from my run, my mom was up making breakfast, I hurried up an took a shower. I dried my hair and but on a basic makeup. I did not like heavy makeup it made people look weird. I went to my closet, put on a pair of blue jeans, a black skinny shirt and let my hair up in a loose bun. I looked in the mirror happy with how I looked. With a height of 5.6 foot, I was a bit taller than my mom, my long blond hair curled a bit, making my loose bun look a little bigger. My brown eyes and my small nose were passed down from my mom, but my personality was definitely my dads doing. I was the type who only let loose if I was among people, I knew if not I was rather silent. I went down, ate breakfast with my mom, packed my bag and drove to school. I parked my car and crossed the parking lot. It was really crowded. Cars and people everywhere. At one area a bunch of people was standing in front of an all-black SUV talking to the two boys inside. “That must be the popular kids” I mumbled to myself. At the information desk I got my schedule and a map, that showed the entire premises. It was huge. Luckily most of my classes were located in the same area. The clock was 8:30, which meant I had half an hour to collect my books an make it to my first class. The library was in the middle of campus and had 2 floors. In the middle a place for ordered books. I found the ones with my name on it and hurried to class. The class was designed like an auditorium with lots of chairs, I found a place a little back, just until I could get some friends to sit with, I was a little behind since I transferred in the middle of the semester and even on the third year out of five. Just before 9:00 the two boys from the parking lot came inside and went to sit two chairs behind me and a little to the side. The professor came and started the class.   The class was not as boring as it had been at my previous campus, but I was rather irritated because of the two boys. The one with the blond hair and ponytail was chatting with his friend behind me. I couldn’t. see them clearly though because it would be weird to just turn around and stare at them, but the friend had dark brown hair and dark eyes, his tan slightly darker than my white skin. He looked serious, while listening to his blond friend.
