4. His mate

Gavin's POV :

Gavin's mind was going crazy since he found that Kaylynn was his destined mate.

Kaylynn!!

His only crush from childhood. She was a rare beauty with brains and strength. He always found her with Kade, whom he knows as her best friend. Gavin had dated many girls in their pack and other packs too, but it was all nothing. Every girl was after him, except Kaylynn. It was like she didn't have the eye to see his charm... And Gavin wasn't a person who will go after any girl, girls follow him.

Gavin knows that she is a tough cookie, unlike the other girls who could be pleased with expensive gifts. As she is the Beta's daughter, she was off-limits too. She never looked at my side and her only dream was to become the beta of the pack. 

As I went for my higher studies and training, I thought I will get over her. But often her face crossed my mind. It wasn't like I was in love with her. But there was something I felt with her. We are the strongest pack in Europe after the King's army. And our territory was larger than any normal pack. It consists of thousands of warriors and yep, we are strong. But attacks were happening so frequently as somebody wanted to bring our pack down to hell. 

Gavin knows that they need to strengthen the pack, and the best and easiest way is to get the favour of the Lycan King himself. The Royal Lycans are the people of extreme power. Nobody will dare to go against them. So being on their side will boost the pack's power and safety.

That was when Gavin came across Amelia. He knows Amelia was attracted to him and she was popular in college as she was King's sister. The Palace was responsible for designing and advertising for the whole werewolf community. So if they could be in favour of the palace, it will help the pack's clothing business too. And Gavin was never a fan of being with one woman in their whole life. And he didn't like the destined mate thing. That's why Gavin accepted Amelia as his girlfriend. Amelia is a selfish coquettish girl, other than that she is a beauty with immense family support. 

Three years later Gavin was coming back to his home. As he stepped out of the airport, his nostrils were filled with the scent of fresh roses, which led him to Kaylynn. But, after seeing Kay at the airport and finding her as his mate, his heart skipped a beat. But soon he becomes a practical person with the presence of Amelia. He had planned everything for the future of him and the wellness of his pack. So nothing changes, he thought. But, Kaylynn...

She makes everything difficult for him. He thought after declaring Amelia as his future Luna, Kay would be broken or even keep away from him.

But she was like, it didn't affect her at all. And she was performing her duties well too. And that hurt him, maybe only his ego. The girls would go crazy about him, but Kaylynn even after knowing that he was her mate, was like she didn't care. Like, he was not important.

That night, Gavin couldn't sleep as he didn't see Kay even at the time of dinner. He had this urge to see her. He wanted to talk with her about the mate thing. That he is never going to accept her, but his wolf Jazz was infuriated whenever he came across this thought. He enjoyed Amelia's company as well as Gavin until they met Kay. It was as if he became a Saint after seeing their mate. He was not cooperating well especially when Gavin was with Amelia. And Amelia didn't like Kaylynn. That's for sure. Maybe because she is more beautiful than her. But it's not going to bring any good to Kaylynn. Amelia can be venomous when she hates somebody. After accepting her as the girlfriend, she didn't allow any girl to get close to Gavin. So Kaylynn needed to stay away from her. Stay away from me too.

When Gavin saw the interaction between Kade and Kay, his wolf was driving him crazy with possessiveness. Especially when he heard Kay saying 'love you' to Kade. That's it, it wasn't his wolf alone, now Gavin was also annoyed. 

'How dare she talk to another man like this in the presence of her mate!!' Gavin screamed in his mind.

'That's because you never dared to claim her as ours, idiot...' Jazz retorted back.

Gavin called out Kade... you are so dead today, Gavin screamed in his head.

Even though Gavin knows they are only good friends, he couldn't get over the words she said. That's why he sent Kade away from the pack to their company even after knowing there was a meeting. He couldn't bear to see any man near to her for now. Otherwise, he will go crazy.

Gavin enjoyed that Kay was in search of Kade and when he said the truth, she got irritated. And that made him happy.  Hm... she must have figured it out that I punished him like this. That's good, she should know. Gavin wanted to talk more with Kay, that's when Amelia entered. She was supposed to be in her room enjoying the spa, what's she doing here.

Then Gavin got alerted that she must have suspected something that's why she followed him. It would be dangerous for Kay, or even him and the pack. We can't go against the King's family. We won't survive after that. So Gavin put up with her and even gave a show in front of Kay, just to please Amelia. But she wasn't ready to leave. She wanted to participate in the meeting.

From my Dad's nature, I know he wasn't that impressed with Amelia. He even supported Kay immensely in front of Amelia, even after knowing she was a Lycan and belonged to the King's family. Kay was truly brilliant. She wanted to strengthen the pack instead of asking for help from others... I was impressed too...

Perhaps I should have thought this way, then I wouldn't be tangled in a relationship with Amelia.

When Dad mentioned the mating ceremony, my eyes went towards Kay unintentionally. Even though she looked so strong, I could hear her unsteady heartbeat, which tells me that the news was affecting her. She excused from there to make a call. And within a few seconds, I followed as Amelia was called by my mom for a bit of chat. I saw her cutting the call, most probably Kade.

As the elevator was opened, I pushed her inside and closed its door and paused it. I don't know what I was doing at that time. Her scent was driving me crazy and as I caught her hand for not allowing her to turn on the switch, I felt fireworks erupting inside me... Jazz was going crazy with the pleasure of being near his mate. He wanted me to claim her right away. I know I can't do that... and this mate bond was making everything more and more difficult. 

Gavin knows he would go crazy if he didn't clear the matter. That's why he said about meeting her personally. But she was like she had no clue about what he was talking about. But her body betrayed her... Her skin was flushed with his closeness. And those rosy lips...!!

Gavin knows he can't control anymore, that's why he left immediately after that. His birthday is in ten days. And Dad was planning to invite the royals to the pack a week before. Hm... everything has gone beyond his control. And if he stepped back now, it would destroy his pack. He can't do that... It's just the attraction of the mate bond and nothing else. and once it is gone, everything will be fine. He didn't go back to the meeting, instead, he went and took a cold shower as her closeness had physically affected him. And also he can't risk the chance of Amelia finding Kay's scent on him.

After freshening up he went back to Amelia who seemed to be pissed that he left her there. He took her shopping, which was the best way to please her. After all, he knows the best ways to please a girl. After a hectic shopping, they come back to the pack. As they were coming to their territory, he noticed a new black Audi. And saw in the distance Kay giving instructions to the patrolling group. Gavin was impressed with her leadership abilities. She was born to lead as she was strong, brilliant and compassionate. She is going to be a strong beta... Hmm... if fate wasn't different, she was going to be the Luna of the pack...!!

He passed them and went inside their territory. There were several houses here and there. Their mansion was at the heart of the territory. And in ten minutes, they reached the mansion. Dad and Mom were having coffee and they invited us to join. 

"Gavin, as from last meeting's opinion, the new rule is applied for strengthening the border security and training of the females. Kay is leading it. But you need to assure her safety too as you know how selfless she could be. Either you or Kade should be with her whenever she goes out at night patrolling. And on other days, when she is busy you and Kade should manage it as well." Dad instructed me and I agreed to it. I could feel Amelia didn't like it at all.

Then Dad turned to Amelia and said, 

"Amelia, From tomorrow onwards here, girls from the age of ten will start their training. Kay would be their instructor. If you are interested in training them, then Amelia you can take the opportunity-..." he suggested.

"Oh no, thanks. That's meant for the warriors right. I never had to fight my whole life as I was raised as a royal. I think Kaylynn would be the best choice." 

"But Amelia, as Luna, you should know to fight better. Maybe in situations, we have to protect the pack in front. So you should train well." Mom told her with concern.

"Luna, I am sorry. I don't have any interest in this. As I said, whatever support you need in the form of strength, army, or money, my family can provide it for me. So please don't pressure me... I am a bit tired, I will see you all later..." Amelia said and left with a smile.

Mom and Dad were displeased with her reaction. I was also a bit disappointed that she didn't even want to try it.

"Hm... Gavin, you better watch your back. Because we will be strong with our strength only, all the other support couldn't be forever. Tell this to your mate. She is going to be the luna of this pack, so she must know all these. Royal or Lycan, she should accept the rule of this pack when she is here. You better talk about this with her. And from tomorrow onwards, male and female warriors will train together. You should watch them over to avoid injuries. As the strength of the pack is high, it should be done as in different sections. Kay has promised me that she would find the best trainers for each team and she will train the teenagers as well..." Dad said with relief.

"Okay Dad, I saw her at the border. Did she go on a night patrol today??" I asked, masking my concern.

"Yes, as Kade is tired from the hectic job you have given, he is taking a rest. If you are free, go and check on the borders okay..."

Gavin was somehow delighted with this request and agreed immediately. He took a quick shower and went to check on Amelia. After the hectic shopping and having junk food, Amelia dozed off. That's a relief, he thought and ran towards the borders to see his mate.
