Lexus' POV
"I think it's time for you to get married" my mom said and I rolled my eyes inwardly.Here we go again"But he hasn't found his mate yet" my sister replied"He's been looking for years, a decade I should say, your father and I can't rule forever, there are many unmated wolves who would be the perfect Luna for you-" she said but got interrupted by the old man as he walked over to have a seat next to her."You know he needs his mate to rule, she's the perfect one for the role" he said and I got up."Ivan just mind-linked me from the car, something's up at the office. I'm leaving" I said and got up without waiting for anyone or anything else and left.They all knew I was lying but they also knew better than to touch the topic with me again.I got into the backseat in the car and met with Ivan, we sat across each other."You're back so soon?" He asked, we were more like buds than boss and assistant."They were talking about my mate again" I simply replied and he chuckled knowingly"So where are we headed?""The office""It's always the office, you need to let loose man" he said and I passed him a glance but we were too close for him to be scared "you're boring AF. Alright then"The automated car started moving to the office building as soon as it was activated."Oh I almost forgot, your schedule for the next hour is a meeting with Mr Moore about the loan he had borrowed from you last year, he plans on making an advertisement with it and then partnering up with our marketing group for profit. I made negotiations about dividing the profit, a 70/30""Then why do I still have to go for the meeting?" I asked, it was unnecessary since he had pretty much finalized everything."Because he thinks it's debatable" he replied and I sighed"Tell him it's not and cancel the meeting""O-kay""Turn the car around, I'm going home""Really? Why'd you change your mind?" He asked and I just ignored himBecause I want to go on with the search for my mate~~~I walked into the pack-house and headed straight to my room.Ivan turned to leave when I stopped him."Tomorrow arrange a gathering of all she-wolves, other packs included" I said and walked back into my roomI picked up my laptop and scanned through my office work and busied myself.~~~I heard a knock on the door some hours later and Ivan's voice from behind the door."Your father wants to have a word" he said"Later""Right now actually"I sighed and got up, got out of my room and headed to my dad's office.~~~He was looking out his window still seated on the main seat with a huge table layed vertically between his seat and two others.The table was well arranged with little to nothing on the top but a computer and a bottle of water.The creak of the door made him turn to look at me while I went over to one of the seats across his and took a seat."Sebastian" my dad calledThat was my middle name but I preferred Lexus, well, the old man wouldn't listen, he was the one who gave me that name after all.I was silent."How's the search for your mate going?" He asked"Not much improvement""Hmm" he hummed in response "you stopped searching years ago""I've began the search again"He leaned forward "I want the best for you but I'm getting old-""You're only 54, you're fine, you just want to laze around like other old men", he laughed"Yes I do, I've been alpha since I was 18, two years after I found your mother... Seb, I think you might be a lone wolf-""Stop", I had considered that possibility but simply shunned it, "my mate might have just been little then but-""You can't keep making excuses""Enough! We're not having this conversation", he sighed"I've called the Wolfsbane Luna, she says there is also a possibility that your mate is human, but it's rare.""I'll find my mate dad, there's no need for this", I got up to leave."I hope so" I heard him say.~~~I walked over to the woods to get some air.I knew what needed to be done for the good of the family and the pack but I wanted MY MATE.I pulled off my clothes and shifted, I needed to run.I had a good run with Logan, my wolf, and we rested until we sighted a rabbit, it saw us too and immediately hopped off, we were on the run, in a few seconds we had the rabbit between our teeth.I was enjoying my meal when I heard a voice in my head.'Lex?'I recognized the voice as my sister, Adalyn's, she was using the mind-link to contact me.'Yeah?''You promised to follow me shopping.'Yeah, I had nodded ignorantly when she was bugging me just to get her off my tail.'No''But you promised.''No''Please?''No''Then I'll bug you''No''Lex!''No''Lexus!!''Fine!''Great, head back tomorrow, I'm not shopping in the pack this time. At the shopping mall in the human area and we're going together so you won't be able to ditch me again this time.'Dove's POVIt's been two days in the pack and I've been in the room all through.Lexus hadn't slept in here with me, but he did come to check up on me, give me some food and leave immediately, I guess my discomfort and embarrassment was axiomatic. My right eye-lid has been twitching repeatedly nowadays and a sense of foreboding creeps into my heart, leaving me continuously paranoid with dread. I've been thinking about it nonstop, and I think Lexus may have noticed my weariness too… I should probably forget about this.Earlier today, I braced myself and asked Lexus if I could ‘get some air somewhere outside the room’, he’d agreed and it had me beaming with excitement until now.I had no idea how a pack looked, and I'm quite nervous but having Lexus be my guide made butterflies bubble in my belly.I walked out of the shower to see a set of clothes lying on the bed as usual, some underwear, a white button-down shirt, high-waisted blue jeans and white sneakers, with a necklace and some s
Paisley's POVLife's been terrible since the last two weeks.For one, Bryan broke up with me. Two, I got fired... Yes! I got fired for inappropriate behavior during work hours, really?! That was all that bitch could come up with and the next moment I was fired.I didn't really let Dove know, well since I didn't want her worried about me.Okay, let's go on with the list...Bryan attacked me, My apartment was vandalized! Yeah! Freaking run over! Like turned upside down.I almost saw heaven... Or hell. A frigging rifle was pressed against my forehead.Some jerk 'Alpha Derek' came looking for Dove and shot Steve's leg even as I had told that moron not to be impulsive, now he's on a wheelchair. I think that may have been why Dove ran away, like she pretty much ghosted me after an emotional call.I couldn't reach her, I had even gone to that company but she wasn't there. I payed her family a silent visit but she wasn't there. I asked Sophie and she said Dove had called her too and disappeare
Dove's POV Adalyn's mother.It was pretty obvious since she took the eyes, the hair, the lips, the eyebrows, the cheekbones... But the rest were her father's.Adalyn was Lexus' sister which meant her mother was his mother which means this is Lexus' mother and I'm totally freaking out right now.She immediately walked up to me, the rest following behind her when Lexus growled and stood in front of me, baring his teeth.That just made me feel all mushy and gushy inside."Get those away right now!" She said, glaring at him but he kept his stand, snarling at her, "Lexus Sebastian Gray, get those two baby teeth out of my sight!" She repeated and he immediately retracted them but still stood, protecting me from them.His eyes flashed gray and his teeth were elongating and moving back in."I just want to see her, I won't do anything to her." She said and moved past him to stand in front of me, "you're the mate?" She asked, looking at me with distaste.What the hell was everyone's problem wi
Dove's POV He walked towards the bed and sat next to me, clearing his throat.I peeked out at him as he turned to me with a grin, "look who was drooling" he said with a smirk.I put my face back into the pillow in embarrassment, he had seen me."Wh-what happened..." I didn't want to assume that was his father and end up being wrong."My dad... He wasn't really..." I completed the sentence for him."Happy I was here, right? What were you talking about?"He pressed his lips together to form a line and creased his brows, refusing to speak.I could already guess what had happened, he refused to let me be their queen.I sighed and let go of the pillow, pushing myself to the side of the bed next to him."I understand." I said, it had always been 'I understand' whenever I got unaccepted by people or denied of something and there was nothing else to say right now."No!" He said, "you're not leaving me or the pack! This is where you belong and you're going to be Luna if he likes it or not!!"
Dove's POVMy heart hammered against my chest facing the furious man standing in front of me.His eyes had turned black, completely black and he let out a growl that made everyone around us shrink back and whimper. I could feel the powerful aura around and took a few steps back even as I refused to bow my head like the others.I heard another growl and saw Lexus coming to stand in front of me as he stared deep into the bottomless black pit of his father's eyes.They engaged in a silent conversation and Lexus turned to me, "Adalyn is over there, she'll lead you to my room, stay there. Don't come out or let anyone in!" He instructed while his eyes trailed to Adalyn standing a few distance away from us.I nodded and walked over to her while other's eyes trailed on me, I tried not to look back at them or put my head down as I moved towards Adalyn.She immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me into the mansion.She led me through the hallway while people cleared the way for her to pass thr
Dove's POVWe're currently in Lexus' car driving to God-knows-where.Just an empty lane that the car didn't fit with, I looked out the car's window just thinking about my life and how upside down it is right now.I couldn't and definitely wouldn't have imagined I would be in this scenario if this was a month ago, I was looking for a job and got a job at Gray Enterprises.I suddenly remembered Sophia and I smiled. I wouldn't be able to contact her again since Lexus had taken away my phone, something about them being able to track me.The ride was silent but not awkward a bit, we enjoyed each other's presence in the silence. After about two hours, we finally met a forest."We're almost there", that was enough to make me feel nervous and excited to see what a pack would look like.A few minutes later, we met bulky men and women surrounding an area with weapons in hand.They walked up to us and Lexus came out of the car and they instantly bowed and somehow bent their neck in some weird wa
