2- Nixon

Two weeks have gone by and our mates scent has kept both myself and Niro on high alert, never knowing when they'll cross our path. I had started to give up on ever finding my mate and now we know we have one. The only problem is we don't no where she is.

"Alpha, the car is waiting" Luca says walking out of my kitchen with a bag of chips in his hand.

"Don't you have food at your place"

"Yeah but I'm always here" he's right this man never leaves, he takes being my beta way to serious.

Luca and I grew up together and we've been best friends since we were pups in elementary school. He doesn't come from a legacy family he was fated to be beta. He had just turned eighteen when there was a shift in power the whole pack felt, when it happened the beta I had at the time stepped down and was demoted to an omega. It was later revealed that he was demoted by his father who refused to pass his title on to his son.

Again it's not uncommon for something like this to happen but it only happens once every so many centuries and only when the council and moon goddess approve of the power shift.

"We have a meeting with Christopher and Jillian to go over the final floor plans for the lay out of the apartments, then we have late lunch with Alpha Harris to go over the plans for the summer ball" Camren my gamma says from the front passenger seat.

"How's Mila and the little pup doing" I ask Cam, he found his mate last year at the summer ball and their expecting a little boy in a few months.

"She craves everything" he chuckles "Last night she woke me up to make a milkshake run, at fucking three in the morning" this time its me who chuckles.

Mila is a stubborn women who specks her mind with no filter, when Cam first meet her he was a little intimidated by how open and free spirited she was but now its what he loves the most.

Pulling up to the construction sight we meet with Christopher and Jillian. I give the blue prints and floor plans one final look over and we picked out the flooring, paint and backsplashes then sign off on the final touches and set a date I want it done by. Giving them a end date helps keep them working and the offered bonus that I promised if they got it done faster help light a fire under their asses.

"I'm going to go get a cup of coffee do you guys want anything" I ask Luca, Camren and Drew my driver. A round of no's and I'm goods echoed from the guys and I head out to find its raining.

The walk to the coffee shop doesn't take long and I don't get to wet from the rain, whipping my feet on the mat out side the door I reach for the handle but my phone rings in my pocket so I step away from the door and pull out my phone, seeing it's Luca I answer, he asks for a hot chocolate and tells me he didn't want anything when I first asked but I roll my eyes knowing he must of forgot his wallet.

Turning back around to enter the shop the door opens and out stumbles a young man who spills his hot tea all over me while trying to catch himself before he can actually fall.

"Oh my I'm so sorry" he says straitening himself back up, he looks up and my breath catches in my lungs. Stunning blue eyes lock with my own setting a fire with in me.

"Mate" I say under my breath causing the young man to blush.

"I..I'm so sorry can I uh, can I by you another shirt it's the least I can do" he says looking anywhere but at me.

"No" I tell him then abruptly turn around and walk back to the construction site.

Male my mate is a male how the fuck is that even possible? I fuck love pussy so why the fuck is my mate a guy, did I do something to piss the moon goddess off or give her any indication that I was into guys.

"Go back for mate" Niro whines but I ignore him. I need to take a minute and gather my thoughts and his whining isn't helping.

turning back around I walk back to the coffee shop and enter this time, scanning the line I see the him standing at the register about to order again, walking tot he front of the line I stand next to him and listen to him order his drink.

"Small lavender, mint tea with honey please" he tell the girl standing at the register, she turns "And what can I get for you sir" my mate turns to see who she's talking to and his eyes widen slightly.

"Medium hot chocolate and a black coffee" she nods her head and types it in. "Twenty-two, fifty" she says and I hand her my card before my mate can take out him money.

"Ok it will be ready in a minute" we step away from the lie and wait off to one side.

My mate shifts his stance and glances my way "Thank you" he says before taking out a few bucks holding them out to me "Here uh its for my tea" I shack my head no, not taking his money.

"What's your name" I ask.

"Harper, Harper Lewis" he says extending is hand out to me I take in and give it a shake feeling the sparks run along my skin from the contact.

he pulls his hand away quickly as if I had burnt him "What's your name" he ask while looking down at his hand.

"Nixon Marsh" I say as our order is called.

We each take our drinks and walk out of the shop turning towards the same direction. Taking this as a chance to ask him a few questions I ask him how old he is, he tells me he's nineteen studies at the Brayer collage.

we come to a cross section and he turns left to cross the street but I stop him "Hey uh Harper" he turns around waiting for me to say something but I don't know what to say so he gives me a slight nod then turns around and walks off leaving me standing there watching him walk away.
