It had been two days and 56 minutes since we found her. In exactly 18 minutes, we were leaving for the airport. I hadn't packed much, but enough for about a week. If I had to stay longer than that, I'd just buy new stuff or have someone do the laundry for me.I probably could do it by myself but I never learned how to and we always had someone do them for us so I never had to worry about itI don't know if Colton can do them either but I believe Joseph can. Who knows.I walked towards the front door, seeing my mother standing there with a smile."Hey, love." "Hi, mom. What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I'm just here to say goodbye and good luck" she said, still smiling."And to apologise about Brittney. I should have never dona what I did. I should've believed in your ability to find your mate" she said, the smile dropping."It's okay, mom. I understand. I didnät really belive I'd find her either but thank god, we did" I said with a smile, remembering how she looked like."I'm
I got to the restaurant about fifteen minutes earlier than usually. I finally got an interview to a better job. It had been months since I started looking but I only landed one today.The interview was in a week.When I was done changing my clothes, I went out to the restaurant.It was a Saturday which means we were going to be extra busy today. It was also going to be a long day for me because I had offered to cover for a co-worker's shift so I was staying lated today. She said her mom was sick or something and I needed any extra money I could get so it didn't take a lot of convincing for me to take the shift."What's happening?" I whispered to Ethan, seeing that the restaurant was empty and we were all standing in a line."You didn't check your email? We have a VVIP coming today so the restaurant is closed to the public. Boss didn't mention who it was but apparently he is a very respected business man, and an alpha" he lowered his voice on the last part.I nodded. "Do you know wher
"Why are you taking so fucking long?" I asked Colton. He had been in the bathroom for quite some time and it was getting on my nerves."Chill out, Nick. I want to look good when meeting our Luna for the first time in a while," he said, making me growl at him."Get the fuck out here, Colton" I said, getting more annoyed by the passing seconds."A man's gotta look good and looking good takes time" he continued."That's fucking it. I'm leaving" I said, loud enough for him to hear. I stood up from the bed and walked towards the door.As I was opening the door, the bathroom door was finally opened. I continued walking, not stopping even when I heard Colton's whining.I got to the car, getting in the backseat. Now that Samuel was here with us, he'd be driving."Alpha Nicholas" he greeted.I nodded. "Wait a second, Colton's supposed to be here in a bit" I wasn't actually going to leave Colton. I don't know if bringing him is a good idea but I don't think I can go meet her alone.Either I'd be
Soon he left to get our drinks."Colton, say something about me going to the bathroom or something. I need to go see her" me nor my wolf could resist the urge. I just had to see her.He nodded. "Of course, go" he said.I nodded, getting up. I followed her scent but also the place she went earlier.The scent was getting stronger as I kept walking. I took a deep breath before opening the door, seeing the mutt hugging my mate.All I wanted to do was rip his head off and feed it to the rogues.She looked up at me through her tear-stained eyes."Oh darling" I whispered as I went closer. She stood up and took a step back in fear.I felt hurt. My own mate was afraid of me but I also understood why."Athena" I tried again, her name rolling off my tongue so satisfifactorily. I loved her name, I loved her."D- Don't come closer" she stuttered, hiding behind the guy.I growled at him. "Get the fuck out of my way" I said, giving him the time to move."No. I know who you are to her. She's told me
I rolled my eyes at his rather bold statement. It was ridiculous that he thought he could just watlz into my life, acting like he's been a saint all his life when he tormented me for years with no mercy or regret.The only reason he even was here was because I was his mate. If I wasn't, he would've never been here."That's rich coming from you" I stated, helping Ethan on one of the benches.He sighed. "Can we talk? Please?" he pleaded.I looked at him shocked because according to all of the rumors in the pack when I was still here, he never said the word 'please'.I shook my head, no matter how much I wanted to say yes. "No.""I... I want to make things right between us. I know you won't forgive me easily but I'm willing to work for your forgiveness. Please, just 5 minutes, that's all I ask for.""No, I need to get back to work" I said. Ethan stood up and walked out of the room, making sure I was following him.I looked at Nicholas one last time before following Ethan out of the room
Athena's father was one of the most trusted warriors when he was still alive which was one of the only reasons she got to stay in the Silver Blood Pack.The pack has decided for her future with the pack for her. She will be banished when she turns 16. The pack honored their loyal warrior but having a human in their pack was not a good image to the outside.Nicholas watched as Athena disappeared into the bathroom. He, Colton (the future beta) and Joseph (The future gamma) followed Nicholas into the bathroom.When they got inside the bathroom, Athena was standing agaisnt the sink. Her clothes were soaked from the rain outside since she didn't have an umbrella.Nicholas didn't feel bad for her, not one bit. He hoped Athena would suffer even more and end her life when the suffering got to her."Look at what we've got here" Colton said, walking over to her. Athena stayed quiet, not daring to mutter a word. 'She was in fear. Good.' Nicholas loved seeing her in pain or fear.Colton grabbed h
I walked to school with my head down. I didn't dare look up once. School was something I despised. It wasn't the school itself but more the people of the school.I've been bullied for most of my life thanks to the all mighty alpha Nicholas. He was the reason people even bully me in the first place.I hate him. I hope he will never find his mate so she won't hve to suffer although I think he'd treat her really fucking well."Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" the voice I despised the most said from behind me.Fear was the only thing I was feeling right now. I hated it.I didn't turn around, not wanting to see his face. But that didn't last long. He and his two friends had walked in front of me.Suddenly the bell rang, saving me from the monster. I sighed in relief as I watched them walk away. Thank god.◲◱School was fine for the rest of the day. I avoided Nicholas and his little gang like my life depended on it -it probably did- so I didn't see him today.I put on my uniform and w
I've been searching for my mate since I turned 16, which was 8 months ago.On the first of each month, I visit different packs to hopefully find my mate. So far, I've had no luck.I don't know but I always have a weird feeling that my mate's close but then the feeling disappears for s little while and then comes back. I don't get it.I got into the car and waited for Daniel to start the car. "Where to today, Alpha" he asked. Daniel was a man in his early 50s. He's been with out family for a very long time, even before I was born so he was one of the most trusted members. Whenever I visit these different packs, he always drives."The Darkhide Hounds. They actually called me and asked me to visit them so that's where we'll go today" I told him.He nodded and started the car.We arrived to the Darkhide Hounds at around midday so it was about a three hour drive."Hello, Alpha Nicholas. It's great to see you" the alpha of the pack said. He was young but a bit older than me."Of course, Al

8 months later Luck didn't seem to be on my side lately, and I had constantly gotten shitty news with no good news following. But finally, after what seemed like forever, Joseph said he had found a security footage of her in a grocery store. "Here," he said, playing the video and stopping when she was on footage. She seemed to be buying groceries. A lot of them. Which was good because it mostly likely meant she was living there. "I went through the list of citizens in the town but didn't find her name. But as expected, she had family there. An aunt, uncle, and two cousins. I looked up their last names and found Aria, Phineas, Eleanor, Duncan, and Valentina Sinclair." "I went through their files. Valentina Sinclair is our Luna, " he confirmed. I looked through the papers he had printed out. I smiled. I was finally getting my mate back. After months and months of searching. "Good job, Joseph. You will be rewarded for this, " I said, getting up from the chair. "Thank you, Alpha,"
"Okay guys, ready to go?" Duncan asked.I looked at the suitcase and nodded. I had left a few outfits in my room here but most of it was coming with me to my new apartment.I looked at El to see is she was ready. "Yup" she said."Alright then, let's go" he said, taking the suitcase from me."Thanks" I said, walking behind him to the car.Today was the day we'd finally be seeing my new apartment.It was probably pretty empty since there was really no furniture yet and it hadn't even been decorated. I haven't been to the place yet because I really wanted to get the first look with Eleanor and Duncan.Duncan drove to the apartment. It wa about a 10 minute drive from teir house to my apartment."Here we are" he said, getting out first. He always insist on opening my door for some reason. I think it was to annoy El since he did not open the door for her. It always causes a little bickerig between them but I think Dunc is enjoying annoying her.He opened my door again. "You know, you should
I had gotten a job at a nearby restaurant. It was temporary until I'd be able to get a job in my field.The diner had two TVs and they played the news all the time and since Nicholas was also pretty known in the normal world, his face was almost constantly on the TV.This town was mostly just full of mundane people. Aunt Aria had told me all about this town and who were werewolves, like us.The town was lovely. Almost everyone knew everyone.Seeing Nicholas on the TV brought me joy but also sadness. My wolf is refusing to talk to me since I left him almost immediately when I found out. I've tried to explain to her countless of times but she just doesn't listen. I don't blame her but it wasn't really my fault either.I still went by the name Athena but in official papers my name was Valentina Sinclair. Valentina was my wolf's name and Sinclair was uncle Finn's last name. Aunt Aria took it atfer their marriage so I took it too.They were more than happy that I officially had the same la
"Alpha, I have bad news" Mason said."What is it?" I asked."W-We couldn't find her in any of the hotels. We had a few names that could've been her but I dug a little deeper and they weren't her" he explained, showing me some names and pictures on his computer."Fuck's sake" I muttered. "I need a moment" I said before leaving. I went to my office and processed what Mason had just told me. I was so fucking sure we'd finally have her.I pushed everything off my table in frustration. I couldn't really concentarte, after reading the letter she had written.I was determined to find her and make everything up to her, even if it takes years.With that thought in mind, I went back to office where the team was working. "Attention!" I said, gaining the attention of everyone in the room."Mason, you will gather a team together to go to London. You'll knock on every single door of an apartment, a hotel, a house, doesn't matter. I want you to gather a team big enough so you can do this in seven
