My Human Mate

Waiting

Joshua-

I turned my head as I heard Adam walk in.

 “What’s up?” I asked, looking back at the television screen. I am watching my favorite baseball team and they are down by two runs. 

“Jill is driving me crazy!” Adam huffed as he flopped on the sofa beside me. 

“At least you have a mate” I responded quickly. Jill is Adam's mate. Jill and Adam found each other shortly after turning 18. They knew instantly they were fated to be mates and I have always been jealous. 

Where is my mate?  Werewolves find the mate the Mood Goddess destines for them after turning 18.  For six years I have been looking and waiting. Longer actually, even before I turned 18 I longed for a mate. I long to find that permanent connection; to wrap my arms around the woman I would love my whole life and breathe in her scent. Jo, my wolf, groaned sadly inside my head as my mind got lost in daydreams of my future mate. 

“You have no idea what it’s like to be around women. They are so over emotional.  I swear her mood changes every two seconds.” Adam knew that I was longing for my mate, but I could tell he was too fed up with Jill to care at the moment. 

I kept my eyes on the game as I silently promised to myself that I would never get angry or annoyed with my mate. No matter how moody she was.
