1100 Words
Andrew's POV:
"Andrew, your Alpha ceremony is coming up," my mom, the Luna, reminds me.
"Yes, mom, I know. What about it?" I ask her.
"Do you have a mate picked out yet?" she asked me.
"MOM!! You know full well I'm waiting for my Fated Mate! I refuse to take a chosen. I haven't even slept with a female to save myself for my mate. I want no one, unless they were hand-picked by the Moon Goddess herself. I'll run this pack mateless if I have to. Dad did it for two years until he found you, and now you're doing it for almost five since he passed away," I reason.
My name is Andrew Blake Reynolds. I am 20 years old and am still unmated. I'm hoping to find her before my alpha ceremony in three months, but it's proving to be harder as the days go by. I'm still a virgin at 20 years old, weird I know, also not uncommon among werewolves. I'll be the youngest Alpha our pack has ever had, but since my dad passed away five years ago, the pack is begging my mom to claim the new Alpha. The elders all agree, however they want me to take a chosen mate by next week in order to be Alpha. I don't want that, but they don't care.
"Drew, your mom's right, you've got to either get to finding your mate or mate with one of the girls in our pack," my best friend and future Beta Ryan says.
"Ry, you know how hard it is for an Alpha in training to leave their pack in search of their mate. It's next to impossible. And besides I already know she's not in this country. My next place to look is Canada, but I have to get permission from the Vampire King to cross their border, unless you want to make the call and say that we're looking for access to pass through his territory to speak with the pack on the other side of his territory," I say.
"Yea, I got you. Give me five minutes and meet me in your office, I'll make the call there. Should I call Shadow Moon Pack in Canada and let them know of our visit?" Ryan asks.
"Yea, if you would. I'm going to mindlink Caleb to have him join us, I tell him, "You're dismissed Ry."
Caleb, can you meet me in my office in about 5 minutes? I mindlink him.
Yea, Drew, I'll be right there anything you need? he says.
Nah, you're good. Just some important business. I tell him. I head up to my office and await my two best friends.
"Knock knock," Ryan says jokingly.
"I don't know why you knock if you never wait for a reply jerk," I say.
"What's this about Drew?" my future Gamma, Caleb, asks,
"Ryan and I are going to Canada in a couple of days to try and find my mate, and I need you here to help my mom while we're gone," I say.
"Let me make those phone calls while we're all right here," Ryan says.
Ryan dials the King's phone number using our contact list from our alliances, can't have the King as an enemy and he keeps his people from feeding on humans and wolves in and around our pack and Shadow Moon's pack.
"Your Majesty, I know it's early for you, it's Ryan, future Beta of Blood Moon Pack," Ryan says putting the call on speaker phone for us all to hear.
"Ah, Ryan, what a pleasure. I'm assuming you have the future Alpha in the room?" King Kieran asked.
"Yes, I'm here as well,"I answer him.
"What's the reason for calling and waking my Queen from her beauty sleep," he asks in a light tone letting us know he finds it amusing that she was woken up.
"We were calling asking for permission to cross your territory in a few days to get to the Shadow Moon Pack. We didn't want to cross your territory without asking first as it's rude and just not something we do," Ryan says, taking his Beta role very seriously.
"Ah, I see. I will let you young pups pass through," he says.
"Thank you, your Majesty, we will call you when we reach your boarder," I say and Ryan hangs up after a few more words are shared privately between the two of them.
"Should I call the Alpha of Shadow Moon?" Ryan asked a few minutes after?
"Yea, go ahead," I tell him.
He dials the Alpha's number and waits for him or his Beta to reply.
"Hello?" A female says.
"Hi, Ma'am, this is future Beta Ryan of the Blood Moon Pack here in Seattle, WA in the US, is your Alpha or Beta available"? Ryan asks
"I'm the Female Beta, my husband and the Alpha are currently visiting another pack overseas, is there something I could help you with?" she asked.
"Yes, ma'am, my future Alpha and I were wondering if we could have permission to visit your pack to see if his mate is a part of your pack?" Ryan says.
"Absolutely, future Beta Ryan, I'll call my husband as soon as I'm off the phone with you and let him know so that he and my Alpha might be home in time to welcome you both into our home. When are you planning on visiting?" she asked.
"We're planning to visit your pack in a few days, however we're willing to wait until your Alpha and husband return home," I say.
"Of course, I'll call you as soon as I know when I can expect them home," she says.
Just as we go to end the call, we hear a male voice on the other end of the line, "Dear, who's on the phone?"
We're taken off speaker as the female Beta speaks to whoever just entered the room. Just then we're put back on speaker as her husband finishes the call.
"My wife says you're asking to visit our pack to look for your future Alpha's mate, correct?" Beta Bronsen asks.
"Yes, sir," I say.
"My Alpha and I just got home from our trip, we'll be happy to welcome you in a few days as said in the first place. We'd all be happy to help you find your mate young pup. We'll hold a ball the second night of your stay," Beta Bronsen says.
"Thank you sir, we really appreciate your help, Beta Bronsen," Ryan says. and hangs up after a few more pleasantries.
