Bound To You

The sweet fragrance of my pack and our land is what I missed at Alpha Training Camp. As I drove to the pack house everything looked pretty quite and this got me worried, before I left for Alpha Training two years ago everything here was very lively and fun, pups running around, women cooking and warriors training. I took a deep breathe and prayed that everything was fine while I was away. At the entrance of the pack I saw mum and dad the current Alpha and Luna of the pack standing there and smiling like they always do. I felt so relaxed and happy just knowing they were safe. I parked the car and was immediately engulfed in a hug with mum and dad. 'Where is everyone dad?'. 'Uhh.. son lets go in and you will come to know everything' dad replied. As we opened the huge doors I was shocked to see everything was dark. 'Dad what happened...?' I was interrupted when the lights came on and loud cheering, wolf whistles and a grand welcome back party by the pack members.  After meeting and greeting all the pack members, new and old ones.. I retired to my room. I was happy that in two years our pack grew from 300 to 400 members. We were now the second largest and strongest pack in the world, the first being the New Moon Pack. I had heard a lot about the Alpha of the New Moon Pack, he was a year older than me and he was a very strong Alpha, the only problem was he had not yet found his Luna, yet the pack members have accepted him.  'Xander son can we come in?' mum and dad called out before they entered. 'Hey mum, dad' I replied while unpacking my bag. 'Son, in two days you will turn 18 and I will hand over our pack to you because you are ready to take over and all the pack members are also supporting our decision' dad said. 'That is true what your dad said, and we are also hoping you find your mate and the Luna of our pack as soon as possible' mum finished. 'But mum, to be a good Alpha, I don't need a Luna, I am strong by myself, plus look at the Alpha of the New Moon Pack, even he does not have his mate, yet he id doing an excellent job' I replied. 'Son, you don't understand, having your mate by your side not only completes you but also makes you stronger than you already are.. and we are sure when you find your mate, you will understand her importance. Until then you enjoy, coz we are hoping you find her on your 18th Birthday' dad and mum said grinning.  Invitations of my Birthday, Coronation and Mating Ball was sent to all the packs. All the pack members were preparing and there was so much excitement in their eyes. Huge tents were set up for the unmated wolves of the other packs while the Alpha's, Luna's, their kids, the Beta's and their families would be given guest rooms in the pack house which was built for such functions.  Finally the day arrived and as I woke up I realised a lot of new things like I spoke to my wolf for the first time and figured his name is Zane. He is a white wolf which is a very rare wolf. I also realised that I can see things clearly even if they are like really far from me, plus I can run much faster than before. 'Happy Birthday Xander' Mum and Dad said as they hugged me. 'So did you meet ur wolf?, how is he?' mum asked. 'I did and guess what his name is Zane and he is a white wolf' I told mum and dad smiling proudly. 'Wow son, that is great, do you know what this means?' dad asked and I shook my head 'This means that you are destined for greater things son' mum said and they smiled at me. While I was still trying to take in what they said mum spoke again 'Lets have breakfast before our guest start arriving... I made you your favourite chocolate and strawberry pancakes' mum said and I smiled happily as I missed her delicious pancakes all this time.  We must have just finished eating when the guest started arriving, mum quickly sent me to my room and asked me to stay there until the party would start as she wanted me to find my mate during the mating ball. I was looking out of my window when I saw a Porsche entering the driveway. The door opened and a tall, herculean, guy stepped out, he had light brown hair like mine and it was tied in a neat ponytail. For some reason I felt drawn to him and suddenly he looked up and f**k when I looked into his hazel brown eyes, I felt like I was drowning. Our eye contact broke when Mum and Dad welcomed him into our house. I wanted to go and see who he was but I knew mum would get upset and anyway, if I would find my mate mum would kill me because she wanted me to find my mate only at the ceremony. So I tried to sleep for a while, but all I could think of was those hazel brown eyes and the way we connected... 'what the hell is wrong with me? he is a guy and my mate would kill me for thinking about a guys eyes.. s**t I need to clear my head' I quickly got up and went to the washroom for a cold shower.
