Once Bitten

Six months since Sebastion came into my life. He was the light in my darkness. My sole reason for moving on. Mate bond was still in place making my life hell. I longed for my mate and dreamed about him every night. Leaning into my son's belly I blew on it again just to hear him laugh. His laughter was like a drug. It was one that l; gifted you out of any sort of funk. At least that is what it did for me.  The doorbell rang and I hoped it was my older sister Sadie. Today she was supposed to watch my little man. The only man in my life for right now. Being tied to my mate does not allow me to date. Not that I wanted to. I still like I said longed deep inside for Sebastion's father, My soulmate and one true love. Placing my little guy in his play pin so he could play with his toys I  walk on over to my door. My home is a simple one cause I can't afford much work at the local grocery store. But I still made enough for the two of us. It also was such a low-level pack job that the odds of me coming across my pack's Alpha was low.  Opening the door my beautiful sister stood there." You know you are late." I told her. I now had fifteen minutes to get ready and leave.  " Look Its not my fault." She said tossing her hands up in the air.  I shook my head." I will be back after eleven." I reminded her.  " No problem. I and Sebby are gonna have a party just the two of us."  " Clean your mess please," I said giving her a look.  At that, I began to run around grabbing the last few items I needed fo my job. We had to wear stupid vests over a white button with the store's name on it. SO I slide mine on and then headed out after landing one last kiss on the top of my son's head.  Let me tell you my son is one cute baby. He has his father's black hair and my curls. He was also blessed with his father's deep blue eyes. But he got both my dimples. His mate is gonna love him when they meet.  I get into my 2009 Dodge Ram and head out. this truck had been my brother's but he gave it to me when i needed transportation during my pregnancy. Everyone in my family is still pushing me to locate my sons' father and let him know. But its been over a year. If he was not good enough then how was he gonna think their child was good enough.  I let out a sigh as a drove. I saw all types of families on my way to work. It pained me to witness all their happy faces. I wanted that. But my mate did not. But I am grateful for one night even if it's all I ever get. At least I got to be with my soulmate. In our world males can get pregnant cause of the drop in population we have been experiencing. I was overjoyed when I was younger and found out that I was a carrier. I could give my mate a child even if we both are males. I held such high hopes.  Reality had other plans. As I pulled into my job and got out I took in the sweet scent that floated from across the street. Stella's bakery made the best sweets. AS I went inside I seen that an few maids from the packhouse were here. Only the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma families lived there. The rest of us had our own homes. I hoped today would be a good day.
