Complete Me

Chapter 10: Mine

Two years.

Two f*****g years since my little mate escaped my grasp. Not only did I lose my potential Luna, but I lost my future beta as well. His father is being too stubborn and annoying to be a beta for much longer and I don’t know what to do. I’m at the end of my f*****g rope here.

“Alpha Kain?”

I roll my eyes to see David, the pack hunter. Don’t get me wrong, he was the best and could find anyone we were looking for. He was loyal and reliable. My only problem was that he was friends with my little mate and somehow he couldn’t track him. Part of me believes that he didn’t find him on purpose.

Who gives a f**k about friendship when the alpha gives an order?

I couldn’t kill him since he was too important so I just tolerate his existence.

“What is it?”

“The elder consul is here to see you.”

I groan, not wanting to deal with them today. They’ve been coming here asking annoying questions for the past two months and each time they come, they piss me off more than the last. Like get a life you f*****g old nut jobs.

“Send them in” I mumble.

My wolf snarls in annoyance and I agree as the three older men enter my office.

“Greetings Alpha Kain, we see nothing has changed. Yet again”

“Elders, stuff has changed. We’ve increased our population, renovated the training grounds and renewed our treaties with the neighboring packs.”

“With all due respect Alpha, that’s not what we’re talking about.”

I tensed up at the man’s words, knowing exactly where this was headed.

“Your twenty two alpha, when are you going to start finding a mate? This pack needs a Luna so there’s a guaranteed heir in the future.”

“I told you I already have someone in mind”

“Yes but you said they ran away and you cannot find them! Abandon this silly dream of forcing someone and just find someone who actually wants to be with you!”

I snarled before suddenly thinking and calming myself down. I would have my mate back sooner than I thought.

“I’ll have a Luna after the howler ceremony.”

They all raised eyebrows at me before nodding and wishing me a farewell.

Mind link:

Draco: What are you talking about? What does the ceremony have to do with anything?

‘Think about it!’

Draco: I did and it makes no sense

‘Simon by nature is a beta right?’

Draco: Yeah….?

‘All Alphas, Lunas and betas across the world meet at the howler ceremony to discuss all our problems with hunters and other threats. As well as make new treaties or discuss ones already in place.’

Draco:.....okay?

‘Dumbass, he’s a beta by nature which means his wolf will make him go no matter what. He can’t fight his nature. And when he comes…’

Draco: We snatch him up and bring him back home where he belongs!

‘Exactly’

Draco: I’m worried though, he’s of age so what if he mates before we get to him?

‘Impossible. He’s so paranoid he probably stays away from our kind. As long as we snatch him at the ceremony, we can bring him home and mark him right away’

Draco: It’s your fault he left. I told you to be nicer to him so he’d stay

‘He was going to try and be with his real mate, I had to stop him’

Draco: We better get him back

‘Don’t worry, he belongs to us’

I stand up and stroll out my office. If I’m going to catch him, I need all the help I can get. I take a stroll towards the lower levels of the pack house until I’m standing in front of the similar room that I’ve grown to hate all these years

“Good morning alpha”

“Morning, we need to talk”

There’s a slight pause before I’m invited in. The room looks nice with freshly painted walls, the carpet taken out and a new wooden floor brightening up the room. It was neat and tidy and no alcohol bottles laying around all over. Impressive considering he was such a drunk before but I guess he truly has cleaned up his act now.

“What can I do for you alpha?”

“You can help me by coming up with some ideas.”

“Not a problem alpha, what do you need ideas for?”

“On how to capture your allusive son”

“What?! Simon? You’ve found him?” The pure look is happiness on his features annoyed me heavily.

“Where is he? Oh my god I need to apologize to him, I treated him so awful. If his mother were alive...she’d be so ashamed of what I became”

A felt a twinge of pity as I saw how he thought about his mate. I couldn’t even imagine the pain and it made me want to find Simon even faster.

“I haven’t found him yet but I will at the howler ceremony”

“Oh my god how could I have forgotten? Yes great idea we’ll find him there and...wait, you want to capture him?”

“Yes and bring him back here.”

“Why can’t we just ask him to come home and beg forgiveness? If we try to force him then he’ll never want to come back.”

“Because he doesn’t have a choice, he’s the Luna of this pack and he needs to stop running from his duties!”

“Running from his duties or running from you?”

I stepped back in surprise as my beta snarled at me. I guess he really did care about his son which pissed me off because it looked like this was now going to be a problem. I stepped up to him and allowed my wolf to take over.

I am you’re alpha and you will do what I say. We are going to capture your son and you will comply”

He bowed his head and whimpered. Once an Alpha lets his wolf give a command, nobody in the pack can refuse it. If they try, their inner wolf won't allow them no matter what. It’s the one time a wolf has full and utter control of their human counterpart.

“Yes alpha” he breathed and I nodded before strolling off towards the kitchen.

Craig’s Pov

I walked fast towards the training grounds while trying not to seem suspicious. Everyone here was loyal to the alpha and always reported anyone who seemed even the slightest bit off. I smiled warmly at the pups who were playing and waved to the usual warriors I saw training. They would smile back and occasionally come over to chat with me.

The pack was pretty loving towards one another and would be perfect if someone other than that tyrant was in charge. I felt a twinge if guilt knowing I was one of the many who allowed him to get away with whatever he wanted and that only made me speed up even more.

I followed the familiar scent until I found my mate, sitting in his usual spot.

His head whipped around and he rushed towards me, feeling the panic in our bond.

“What’s wrong baby?”

“Not here, somewhere private” I mind liked him and he nodded, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards his workshop. Nobody was allowed in there but him and it was soundproof so it was perfect.

“Okay what happened?”

“Kain’s going to take Simon”

“I should’ve f*****g known. I heard him say something about having a Luna after the howler ceremony. And now I know why”

“Maybe he won’t show up?”

“He’s bound to, he’s still a beta whether he wanted the position or not. To deny going is to deny he wolf and that’s not possible”

“f**k!” I whispered and I immediately broke down crying. This was all my fault and now I was messing up his life again by not being able to protect him.

“Don’t say that. You messed up in the past but you’re back to the old you and I couldn’t be prouder” my mate says reading my thoughts. I smile before we kiss. It’s hot and heavy, our mouths sucking each other up like it’s the last thing we’d ever do. I hear his inner wolf whine as he starts to bend over his desk and looks back at me.

He sways his ass back and forth and purrs, signaling that he wants me to f**k him right here and now. I slap his ass and pull him into my arms before sighing.

“Baby I can’t right now. I’m too worried”

“Hmm...then let’s go get him”

“What?”

“You heard me. Let’s go to him and warn him of the danger”

“Are you crazy? He doesn’t want to see me!!”

“Craig Nathanael Austin! Of course he does, you’re his father!” He exclaimed. “He just needs to hear a proper apology”

“You think so?”

“ I know so, he was only my best friend for my whole life”

“Ugh don’t remind me” I groaned and he laughed, snuggling into my chest.

When older son and wife died , I was a drunken mess. I hated my life and took out some of my pain on my younger son Simon. When he ran away, I tried to take my life by injecting myself with wolfsbane but luckily someone stopped me just in time.

His best friend David was coming to curse me out since he knew I was part of the reason he left but ended up walking in on my suicide attempt.

He snatched the syringe from me and called me a coward before our eyes met and then...there it was. The pull of never thought I’d feel ever again. I remember the confusion in his eyes that quickly turned to fear as he realized he’d almost lost his mate.

Ever since then, he’s helped me get my life back together and has given me all the love and the care in the world. It made me want to live. For myself and for him.

And it made me the man I was before tragedy and grief overtook me.

“How are we going to find him? It’s been years” I whispered.

I looked into his beautiful brown eyes before laughing at the “seriously” expression he had on his face. He was the best tracker out of all the packs and he could find anyone no matter what they did or how long they’ve been missing.

Other packs even hired him for missions and that brought in extra money for our pack’s expenses.

“Okay granted that was a stupid question. But if we go...we’re betraying everyone”

“Not everyone, just Kain” he hissed and I nodded.

One look in his eyes and I knew we were really doing this.

“The ceremony is coming up soon and he’s been gone a long time so we’ll have to leave tonight.”

“Tonight?!”

“Baby if I’m going to find him in time we need to leave right away. The sooner the better”

I nodded again before pulling him into another mouth watering kiss.

“Let’s find your son baby”
