All Chapters of True Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

AustinToday is my 26th birthday and I will now start dating with the thought of finding a love match. I was not lucky enough to have a second chance mate so now I will try to find someone on my own and mark them as mine. It is not as strong as a mated bond but I will love them with all my heart. I am the Beta of my pack and I need to show that the hand I have been given does not have to mean I can't lead our warriors well. I want a family and a love so much and I am ready for this. I did have a mate but that was a blight on my life. I was about to turn 18 and take over as Beta. On our 18th birthdays Betas and Alphas are given a mate by the Moon Goddess. Other pack members have mates but they can come a little later as mates are within a few years of age of each other. Our mates are specifically picked by the Goddess for us based on our strengths and weaknesses and are usually within a certain physical proximity to each other, hence why most families do not move around much once they

AustinHe looks so much like Xavier that I can't stop staring. He also looks very young. To young to have already have lost a mate. He is very small. Smaller then any adult male pack member I have ever seen. He is beautiful, just like Xavier was. Now that my wolf has recognized him his scent is overwhelming me and he smells delicious. Like apples and cinnamon. Why didn't I smell him before?He looks almost scared and my heart starts beating fast. I don't think I can survive another rejection. This cannot happen again. I reached out for him and he flinched at first but let me touch his cheek gently. I could see that his wolf was right at the surface trying to take over. He must have been looking for me. I find myself wondering how long ago he lost his mate and why I don't seem to know him. "What is your name?""An..Andrew Beta Austin." He tilted his head down in a sign of respect and submission, his brown hair falling into his face. "How long has it been since you lost your mate?" H

AustinMy wolf has been antsy since we left Andrew last night; worrying that he might harm himself or reject us, I imagine. I have been trying to concentrate on the border shuffle updates on my desk but I don't think I have made any headway. Elijah enters my small office just off of his to see what I am up to and he immediately notices that I look tired and withdrawn."What is wrong, Austin?""Well I didn't want to say anything because I want to give him time but I found my second chance mate last night." I note that Elijah does not look shocked at all, which seems odd."Oh, and who is he, you did say 'him', correct?""Why don't you look surprised at all? What aren't you telling me, Elijah?""Okay, so I am going to assume that your mate is Andrew Phillips, correct? I suspected it might be him years ago and have had a guard protecting him for me, and you, in hopes that it was him. Remember that theory we found about the Moon Goddess assigning a relative in error as a mate and you dismi

AndrewI was so nervous when Anastasia placed her fingers on our temples but holding Beta Austin's hands seemed to calm me down. The tingling from her test, or whatever it is called, was uncomfortable but not terrible. When I heard her gasp I was expecting the worst. I was confused for a second by what I was seeing and as she spoke I started to understand that our bond was unique and special not just because it was bright without the mark but because it was white. I have no idea what that means but she seemed very excited about it. Alpha Elijah immediately called my parents to join us in his office. I was so nervous because I had no idea what to expect. I didn't even tell them I had a mate. They knew nothing of what they were walking into. I asked Alpha Elijah if we could start with just him and I talking to my parents and Beta Austin looked hurt but they both nodded and Beta Austin said he understood. He left with Anastasia to wait in his office attached to the Alpha's office. When

AndrewJudith arrived first thing in the morning with all of my things. I don't think she forgot a single thing. She even took the food from the kitchen that my parents had bought for me because I liked it. She had two helpers with her so everything was brought up quickly. She laughed when she saw what I was wearing and directed me to shower and change while she started putting my things away in my room so I picked out one of my favourite outfits and did as I was told. I really wanted to talk to her about what Austin told me last night because it confused me. When I was done I came out to find just a few boxes sitting at the foot of the bed for me to go through and all of my clothes were tucked away. Today was Saturday so we had some time to chat. "I need to ask you some things about Austin because I clearly do not know as much about him as I thought." She raised an eyebrow at me and nodded for me to continue. "Uhhh... he mentioned something that made me a bit nervous. I don't know
