Lost but not forgotten.

Birthday Suprise

Miguel POV

I was excited to be 18 today, I get to start looking for my mate! Hopefully she’ll be local so I can have her sooner. I knew Scarlett wasn’t the one, she was already 18 and didn’t feel the pull towards me. She thought we could be chosen mates but I want my destined mate. Being the only heir to the Belyk pack I wanted to take over immediately, but my father said he’d only let go of the title if I find my Luna.

I grabbed a quick shower and got dressed, eager to set out in search of her. I wonder what she’s like!

“Calm down man. I want to meet her as much as you do but let’s not scare the girl.” Taleb chuckled.

I had my wolf Taleb since I was 12, we got along really well and barely fought. He was a large and strong fawn coloured wolf with onyx eyes. All the single she wolves of our pack had made it know they were interested. But we weren’t going to settle for anyone other than our mate.

As I set out from the house I could smell her, she was closer than I had imagined she could be. She smelled like mango and cinnamon! I wanted to race to her but Taleb pulled the reigns in and kept me from barrelling down her door.

As I was walking up the path I could smell something off about her house. It carried an incredibly strong musky alpha scent mixed with an over powering smell of cloves. Taleb started to get restless and sensed we may have just crossed a line and would be torn to shreds. It’s not often Taleb felt inferior.

Before I could knock on the door it opened and before me stood Jackson though his eyes were off. That’s when I realized the smell was him.

“Um hey buddy! What’s up?” I asked shyly

“I know why you are here Miguel, do not force this on her. Let her choose for herself.” He stated firmly.

“There’s something different about him Miguel . He’s very powerful, please heed his advice. I’d very much like to keep breathing and keep our title” Taleb warned. “He could easily make us submit and we’d have no choice”

He then stepped aside and there she was, the most gorgeous woman I had ever laid eyes on. Her auburn hair was cut in a cute pixie cut, her eyes the greenest I had ever seen.

“Hi Amelia,” I whispered

“Umm hi Miguel” she answered back “what are you doing here?”

“Well as you know I am the soon to be alpha of the Belyk pack here in Airdrie and as it’s my 18 birthday I get to find my mate. And Taleb, my wolf, led us here. So I guess, umm it’s you I’m looking for” I said as I rocked back and forth between my feet. This was the most nervous I had ever been. She’s so beautiful!

Next thing I knew I was floating just off the ground with the tips of my toes dragging along the floor towards this beautiful creature that I was blessed with by the moon goddess. Goddess i hope she accepts me!

She lifted me of the ground another several inches and proceeded to walk a circle around me.

“And if I accept this arrangement? What happens then?” She asked with confidence.

“I take you home to meet my parents and initiate the bond” I replied.

Shock and apprehension spread across her delicate features, she turned to her mom “does that mean what I think it means?”

“Sweetheart there’s more to the mate bond than just, you know, that. You must accept the offer then be accepted by the pack and receive his mark. The mating doesn’t necessarily need to happen right away” her mother reassured her then glared in my direction “right!” She demanded and I shook my head in agreement.

She proceeded to lift me higher off the ground and I felt a sudden tightness take over my throat, my eyes starting to bulge.

A growl escaped from Jackson’s lips “I will have your head and your title if you hurt her” I was slowly spun towards him and that’s when I realized this magic holding me tight was his.

It was then than that I realized it was not just Jackson I was seeing in front of me, he was a wolf as well! But how was he using magic? Then it dawned on me. He was the saviour the wolves were waiting for to help fight against the rogue nation. He was to be the Alpha King!

Immediately Taleb and I bowed our heads in acknowledgment of his rank. At that he placed me firmly on the ground in front of Amelia. She gingerly stepped forward and gave me a quick sweet kiss on the lips. The electricity was maddening.

“I accept” she whispered breathlessly.
