His Fated Mate

Marcus

 I loved being in the gym by myself. It really did help me focus and it also gave me some quiet from the everyday duties as Alpha. It gave mean outlet for all the stress that running a pack puts on you. I took over as Alpha 2 years early because my mom and dad wanted to travel. See they had me later in life. I mean not too late but my dad was 30 and my mom was 25. So since my dad was approaching 50 he wanted to spend as much time with his mate as possible. I took on my duties with honor and pride.

“Yo, Marcus what are you doing man?” My best friend and Beta Kyle asked me.

 “Just working out hitting the bags. What's going on with you?” Kyle joined me at the punching bags working out let we always did growing up. 

 We have been like brothers since we were pups so it was just natural not to slip into our roles here in our pack when it was just us. He always addressed me as Alpha in front of others. He was a good Beta always stepping up when I needed him, always having my back in a fight. He is a few inches shorter than me with black hair and brown eyes total opposite of me but according to our moms we could be twins. We acted the same, we talked the same. We even went out for the same sports in high school. We have always been a team.  

“My mate is going stir crazy. She said I am driving her up the wall keeping her on bed rest.” He chuckled but I could see the concern he had. Kyle met his mate a year ago on her 18th birthday. Kyle and I were out at another pack for an alliance meeting with the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. She was the Betas daughter and the moment we walked in she had jumped him. To say it was funny watching this 200lb man of muscle get tackled by a girl not even 110lbs I laughed hard. Her dad on the other hand was really going to kill my Beta till they both growled Mate.

 They mated that night but waited almost a whole year to get pregnant.  His mate was close to due with their pups. Yes I said pups as in 3. The Moon Goddess had blessed them with triplets almost 1 year to the date they had found each other. He found out that they were having 2 boys and a girl. I have a feeling that little girl is going to have my best friend wrapped around her finger just like her momma does. 

 I was happy for them although it did make me long for my mate. What will she look like? Will her voice sound like angels singing? {My dad said that’s what my mom sounded like}. I prayed everyday to our Goddess for my mate. I was told in a dream by the Moon Goddess herself that my mate will be special, that she will be more powerful than any Luna ever and I have held on to that everyday looking for her. She is worth the longing I feel when I see all the mated couples around me. I know my parents are hoping this year will be the year I find her. I'd love to be a father like my dad and my best friend. 

 “So what work do we have today.” My Beta pulled me back to the present

" Well we have to travel to the Rising Moon pack about an alliance. They are one of the strongest packs on the East Coast. Alpha Jackson thinks an alliance between our packs would make us unstoppable They want us to visit and maybe see if my mate is there. You know form and alliance through mating. Maybe my long search will finally be over.” Yes I had an ulterior motive. I will be 20 tomorrow and I’d love to meet my mate. I’ve been searching for almost 2 years now with no luck.

 “That sounds great. Maybe you will find her on your birthday.” Kyle was just as excited about me meeting my mate as I am. My whole pack is on pins and needles about their new Luna. My parents told me from a young age that my fated mate was made just for me and to love her unconditionally. I plan on it. 

“I sure hope so Kyle. I can feel it and so can my wolf. He has been going crazy the past few days. I’m leaving in the next 2 hours so you and your mate should be ready.”

 Kyle chuckled, “ Yes Alpha already packed to go.”  I chuckled and went to my room to get showered and dressed.

I left the gym after about 20 minutes and walked  through the pack house. It was huge. It would be considered an estate in the human world. My parents helped grown our pack to what it is when my dad took over at 18 from my grandfather {Goddess rest his soul}. I took the elevator to the 5th floor which reserved for the Alpha family. 

Since its just me it gets pretty lonely up here. I stopped in front of one door and push it open. Its the nursery that held every Alpha pup born in our family. I felt this longing , this ache to come in this room and see my own pup sleeping in here. 

I shook off this feeling, turned and walked out of the room and went to my room. 

 I showered and shaved something telling me that I needed to look my best for my visit to Rising Moon pack. I feel this pull, this need, this hunger that I have never felt before. I really hope this is the Moon Goddess leading me to my fated mate.
