"Look at you, all grown up and mature, son, opps sorry Alexander. Now, I'm your mother and I'll call whatever the hell I want and you my dear son, will not question it. And what did you say about patience? You are not patient, Alexander, let's start from here. Don't tempt me to inform Zane about this behavior of yours'." Mom states while eyeing my up and down. Herr words were like a trigger for me and eventually the last straw of my control snapped as I gave in the burning rage. "Tell him whatever the fuck you want, Mother. If you want to loose your mate in a one on one duel, I don't see a problem because I'm not gonna loose mine in any fucking condition. Now," ****** It is said that 'Patience is the key' but at times the wait is too long, long enough that we stop waiting or maybe that's what the fate wants. Future is a mystery that would only unravel when we live it but what if that mystery destroys lives, lives that matter the most to you. Is it worth unraveling such mystery, such future? But then again can you stop time, stop the events that are bound to happen? The answer is NO but will that stop us from trying?

Alexander POV
I watched the 18-year-old boy step on the makeshift stage and stand beside his father who wore a bright smile on his face. Both the males wore white tuxedos with one blue rose on their front pockets as a tradition.
The older man fixed his mic before starting his last speech as an Alpha. "Firstly, I would like to thank Alpha Alexander King for accepting our invitation and coming to my son's Alpha's ceremony. Today, we all have gathered here for Liam's official Alpha ceremony and introducing Christy Lynn as your Luna."
As the old man continues his speech I am taken back to the day of my own Alpha ceremony.
I stood beside my dad in a white tuxedo with a blue rose tucked in my chest pocket as a tradition while the evening sunrays streamed down the pack grounds forming a golden hue. We both resembled a pair of twins with the same deep honey brown eyes, thick raven hair, plump lips, straight nose, high cheekbones, and a 6'1 tall frame with a slightly muscular build. The only difference was the grey ends in his hair and slight wrinkling of the skin.
My mom stood on the other side of my dad wearing a white knee-length dress with a blue ribbon around her waist. I then focus on my pack members while my dad begins his last speech as an Alpha. "I am honored to serve my people for so long however now it's time for a new Alpha. My son Alexander King turned 18-years-old a month ago and today I would like to officially announce him, the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack."
Every pack member roared in unison and the ceremony began minutes later. Dad sliced his palm with a dagger and I repeated the same process after him. We both joined our palms as dad started reciting the oath. "I, Zane King, the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack announce Alexander King as the new Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. Do you Alexander King pledge to protect your people?"
I look at my dad straight in the eyes before saying the words that would change my life forever. "Yes, I, Alexander King, pledge to protect my people at any cost. I accept the title of Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack."
As the words escaped from my mouth the pack members howled in acceptance while I felt a surge of power run through my blood as my palm began to heal.
I snap out of my memory when I hear the wolves howling in acceptance. I look at the makeshift stage to see the former Alpha smiling proudly at his son.
"You were remembering your own Ceremony, weren't you?" I turn to the voice by my side, towards my Beta slash best friend Lucas, and simply nod while we both smile fondly at the memory.
"Yeah, these ceremonies always remind me of my own but the only difference is all of them already have their mates while I didn't have mine," I whisper the last part while looking at the new alpha couple kissing on the stage in happiness.
"You will find her Alex. You just have to wait for the right time." Lucas mutters while looking at the pack members who are now enjoying the feast which is set in a buffet system around the pack grounds.
"BUT WHEN LUCAS? It's already been 8 years and I haven't found her," I angrily impart while looking at the happy couples who are busy kissing or staring at each other while enjoying their food.
Lucas finally faces me at the question while his ocean blue eyes are narrowed on me. His pink thin lips pull up in a snarl while he snorts from his slightly crooked nose. He stands up in his 6 feet tall and continues his words all the while walking towards the Alpha couple. "You should feel lucky that you just haven't found her Alex. There are so many, who found their mates and already lost them."
While he is walking away I just look at his attire for the day. He is wearing khaki pants and a beach white shirt with white sneakers today. As always the top two buttons of his shirt are undone and half of the shirt is tucked in from the front side while a pair of black shades is hanging loosely on the shirt, securely tucked on the third button. I shake my head at his choice of clothing and look down at my three-piece grey suit and shiny black shoes. He will never wear professional attires like a suit even on professional occasions. I notice he hasn't stopped for me yet and snort at his stubbornness.
I stand up too and increase my pace to fall with him, "Lucas, I didn't mean it in that way and you know it. I just... feel lost at times. I have been the Alpha for 6 years now and at times I feel the need to have someone to share it with," I carry on, sadness coating my words while my feet stop on their own accord.
Lucas faintly smiles at me while running his fingers through his already messy blond hair before speaking, "I know, Alex, and I understand. You don't have to clarify everything. I'm your Beta and it's expected of me to understand your every unspoken word. As for finding her, you will, after all, 24 is not old age. "
I smile at the reminder and resume my way towards the Alpha couple to congratulate them.
"Alpha Liam Scott, Luna Christy Lynn, congratulations to you both, and Liam, welcome to the bad boys Alpha group," I mention while adding the last part in a playful tone.
Liam chuckles on the welcome before remarking "There is no match to you Alpha Alexander. If we are bad boys then you are the King of us," Lucas laughs loudly at Liam's words while I just grin.
"Oh! You don't know Liam." I snicker at Lucas's comment and acknowledge Liam's previous words.
"I sure am the King, Liam. Anyway, we would like to leave now. I have an important pack business to attend to." Saying that I shake hands with Christy and Liam, who nod their heads understanding my reason, and bid us farewell.
Lucas follows me towards our car while people bow down to us when we pass by them to show their submission and respect. I stop in front of our black Lamborghini, which is bathed in the evening golden hue, and throw the keys towards Lucas who catches them without blinking.
"You are driving us back. I'm so done with driving for the day," I announce in a tired voice and put back my shades to avoid the setting sun.
Lucas looks at me dumbfounded before his sarcasm-filled words reach me, "OH REALLY! I thought you threw the keys at me because you want to play catch- catch. You just broke my heart, Goddess!" He then dramatically puts on his shades and waves his hand while opening the car door.
I look at him with a bored expression and snarl. "It's not funny, you idiot. With the amount of brain you have... Wait, NO, with you having no brain at all, I have to be clear or else you won't know." I start laughing as I utter the last words while Lucas gives me his murderous look and just like that we both end up throwing insults at each other throughout our way back home, unaware of the dreadful news awaiting us.

Chapter 82Sara POVI walked into the silent packhouse and noticed most of the wolves have gone for training while the rest were busy in cooking. Since I had been wearing scent suppressors for the whole trip, nobody took a notice of my presence.Not wanting to alert everyone about my presence, I made my way to the top floor to meet Alex and his mate. I was just about to knock on his door when I heard my twin’s voice echoing in the silent hallway.“He’s in the infirmary with Zoey.”I turned around and nodded before walking to Lucas and giving him a hug like our usual greeting before asking him, “How have you been?”He pulled away from me and grinned. “I’m better now that Alex has found his mate.”I nodded at him and spoke, “I’ll check up on him and then see you later.”Lucas smiled and stepped aside for me while I walked to the elevator to reach the infirmar
Chapter 81Alexander POVI tightened my hold on Zoey firmly and pulled her in my embrace before asking, “What’s wrong baby?”Zoey just shook her head and continued to revel in my embrace but didn’t answer my question. I knew it won’t be easy to get her to open up to me about the matter since she was not even uttering a Yes or No. I rubbed my hand on her back and felt her relax in my arms before patting her head in a loving gesture and whispered, “IF you won’t tell me then I won’t know baby. Tell me what’s bothering you?”Zoey didn’t move a muscle at my question and I sighed knowing she doesn’t want to answer. I decided to drop the matter when her almost inaudible voice reached my ears. “I feel like a slut for jumping on you the first moment I got.”Her words were like a reality check to me and I closed my eyes for a second before saying, “You are no slut
Chapter 80Third person POVAlexander kissed Zoey with all the passion he had while she responded just as fiercely, unknowingly craving his touch more than ever. She arched her back further while moaning out loud when Alexander nibbed on her lower lip and groaned when he felt her hard nipples rubbing on his chest through the thin hospital gown, she was wearing.At one point, Alexander felt the need to let her breathe because he could hear her heartbeat slowing down a bit. He let go of her swollen lips and moved to her jaw and neck. He didn’t stop to let her collect herself and soon she was moaning with a new passion as he sucked on her neck where his mark is supposed to be.He smiled smugly when he discovered her sweet spot and began scraping his canines on the area and felt her clutch his shirt tightly while trying to arch her back more. Once he was sure, he had given her enough time to fill her lungs, he again went to her lips and kissed her softl
Chapter 79Alexander POV“Xander, it’s not like I don’t want you. I do, it’s just that I don’t want to be heartbroken.” I heard Zoey’s words and found myself smiling at her but I couldn’t bring myself to say a word.So, I did what I had wanted to do ever since she woke up. I pulled her in my lap and felt her body on mine. There were tingles everywhere our skin came in contact and I could hear her heartbeat like mine as it sped synching with mine.I stared in her blue eyes and got lost in them without another thought while she did the same. My arms wrapped around her waist in a possessive hold and brought her closer to me while not blinking my eyes as I was scared to miss her reaction.She had been just staring at me without any protest and I knew it was now or never. I leaned down slowly, giving her the time to back out from the awaiting kiss but she closed her eyes and craned her neck in my direction
Chapter 78Zoey POVMy heartbeat raced as I laid beside Xander whose arms are still holding me tightly. He has asked me on a date some time ago and after that, we both have been laying silently in each other’s embrace. His embrace was like a protecting shield keeping me away from all the sadness and stress.I was busy reveling in his embrace when suddenly Emma’s face flashed in front of my eyes and I shot up from the bed with panic all over my face. Xander followed my lead and looked at my distressed state with concern. “Is everything alright?” He asked softly.I shook my head and turned to him, “No, Emily would be worried for me. She would have already gone nuts by now, I need to call her.” I told him and he had a confused expression on his face but nevertheless, he nodded.He then got off the bed and walked to the glass table and picked up his phone and came back. He handed me the phone and took h
Chapter 77Third-person POVAlexander and Zoey slept while holding on to each other for dear life and their faces gave away the peace they were experiencing in each other’s arms. Even the most oblivious person could see that they were craving each other like a fish for water.At some point, they both were hugging each other with their limbs tangled together and had small smiles on their faces which reflected the peace they were feeling. It was hours later when Zoey woke up tangled in Alexander’s arms and looked up to see that he was still sleeping.Her eyes took in his every single detail just like the last time but the difference this time was, she knew what happened before they slept this time and she also knew who was the man sleeping beside her. After almost staring at him for a good ten minutes, Zoey used her hand to trace an imaginary line on his cheek and lips while her heart raced as she felt those delicious tingles on the surface of h
Chapter 76Alexander POVEver since Zoey woke up, I had been the happiest man alive. The fact that she calls me Xander is a whole another level of happiness. I can’t believe she remembers me and the name she gave me. Then there is this broken look on her face every time she talks about my marriage and wife and it hurt me to watch her this sad.I wanted to tell her everything about my kind then and there so that she would know that she’s the only woman made for me, the one who would be the death of me. But I couldn’t tell her that just yet because she already had so much to take in and this added information would only burden her.When I had told her that I am not married, the happiness on her face was out of the world and I knew why she left without her telling me. But as soon as I told her I divorced my wife that happiness vanished away and guilt covered her face.I had to tell her that it wasn’t her fault and so much more,
Chapter 75Sara POVA big smile reached my lips when I received Lucas’s mind-link telling me that they found Zoey.
