                    Arthur's POV
"The installation of the security cameras are now 80 percent complete, Sir." The guy responsible for the project, said.
I nodded.
"Good, good." I spoke. "When do you think your guys can get it done?"
He looked around and hummed.
"Well since we have everything mostly in place, I think we will have it 100 percent complete by tomorrow noon." He said.
"Alright, sounds good to me." I told him.
He smiled gratefully.
"Is there anything else I can do for you Mr. Trevino?" He asked before he leaves.
I looked at the workers putting their equipments away before I turned to him.
"I think we're good for the day. You and your guys did a great job for almost completing it today." I complimented.
I smiled towards me once again.
"We just did our job, Sir." Was all he said in which I nodded.
"And you did one hell of a job indeed."
He chuckled. "Thank you, Sir. We appreciate it."
After the guy and I talked about the project, it was time for him and his team to leave.
I sighed before I walked back to the pack house. I was kind of exhausted trying to help out with the installation. I didn't just want to watch them put the cameras on but also, I wanted to get involved just for the reason that if things needs fixing, I can do it myself. But then I remembered there were tons of these cameras all throughout the pack so I figured I'll just hire a maintenance guy instead.
"How did it go" Nate asked once he saw me after I entered the pack house.
"It was okay. Most of it was done and they'll just come back tomorrow to complete it." I said in which Nate nodded.
"That's good." He said. "But I just can't believe you spent that much money on these security cameras."
I shrugged.
"It's going to be worth it Nate. It will help us a lot on keeping the pack safe from any kinds of harm. And like I said previously, I don't mind spending a ton if it meant for my pack to be safe and peaceful." I told him.
"Well I know that. It's just, a hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. But I'm not saying having these cameras aren't a good thing because they are. It's just a huge amount of money to me." He stated back which was understandable.
"If you're worried about the pack's financial state, don't be. The pack is very secure when it comes to that matter. In fact, I would say the pack has more than enough for the next generations."
He nodded understandingly.
"Alright. I guess I was just being pessimistic today." He admitted.
I chuckled before I gave his shoulder a pat.
"You're fine, brother. We all have those days."
He chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess."
"And just for you to feel better, I didn't use the pack's money for this project." I said which gained his attention once again.
"What?" He asked with raised brows towards me.
"I didn't use the pack's money." I repeated.
"But why?"
I shrugged. "I figured I have more than enough money in the bank from working at Dad's company so I decided to just use it instead."
"But why would you do that? A hundred thousand bucks? Are you serious?" He asked incredulously.
I shook my head at him. "Like I said, I don't mind. If it's for the pack then I'm more than happy. And besides, I don't have anything to spend it to. So might as well use it for something more useful for everyone's benefit."
"God damn, you're rich." He breathes out dramatically.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well that's what happen when a businessman is single and has no mate to spoil." I joked.
"That's true." He said. "Well if you're looking for someone to spoil, you can go for my daughter." He suggested.
I chuckled.
"She's already spoiled with only you and Jenny, what more if I stepped in?" I joked?
"Well if I'm being honest, she's being very high maintenance lately." He admitted.
I laughed.
"You only have Jenny and yourself to blame for that." I told him.
He scratched the back of his neck and laughed guiltily.
"Not going to deny, we kinda did spoiled her way above the limit." He said.
I shrugged. "But at least she's nothing like the girls her age that are spoiled brats. She's very well mannered and I can see the two of you did a great job in raising her."
He smiled.
"Yeah, that's one of the things I'm thankful for." He admitted. "It's tough being a Dad in my early 20s, but now that I've grown accustomed to having my little girl around, I feel like my whole world now revolves around her and my wife."
And with what he said, I felt a little pang of jealousy.
I may have everything from power, money, friends, and family, but the one thing I only needed in my entire life is also the only thing I don't have, my mate.
That's why I envy Nathan. He had everything he needed to live his life to the fullest.
"What does it feel like?" I asked all of a sudden.
"The what?" He asked back partnered with a frown.
"The feeling of having the people that makes you complete?"
And with that question, his facial expression changed from having a frown to a soft look.
"It's the best feeling ever. It's like winning the lottery but so much more. Having them makes me the happiest person to ever walk this earth and I won't ask for anything better."
What he said, hit me directly in the heart. I could feel it from each word he spoke. The aura that he radiated as he was telling me how over the moon he was at the fact that he have his little family.
If I have what he have then I wouldn't ask for anything else. All I need is my mate.
But I guess that's way too much to ask.
I smiled at him as I gave his shoulder a pat.
"You're one lucky guy, Nathan." I said in which he smiled back but with a sad look in his eyes.
"Thanks, brother. And I'm sure, in your destined time, you will finally have your mate." He said.
"I know, Nate. I know." I replied with a nod.
And with that, I decided to go to my office to attend some of my paperwork stacked up in my desk.
This is going to be excruciating.
After a couple of hours busying myself in the office, I decided to head downstairs for some fresh air. I feel like I'm going to suffocate myself if I kept my face buried with all those annoying papers for another hour.
Once I made it in the kitchen, I went to the fridge and took out a can of beer.
"You look really tired Alpha." The omega who had a name Ari spoke all of a sudden, making me turn my attention to her.
"Yeah. Doing office work is utterly draining." I stated as I rubbed my neck.
Ari nodded her head. "I see. Well then do you have a specific dish in mind that you like, so it would at least help you relax Alpha?"
I shook my head. "It's fine Ari. What ever dish you guys are cooking is fine with me."
She nodded. "If you say so Alpha."
And with that, she was back to work.
After giving all of them a praise for doing such a good job, I walked out of the kitchen and made my way to the living room. But once I entered, I saw a swarm of kids playing everywhere. Some are play fighting, some are playing tag or board game, and some are playing video games.
I groaned.
No, I don't want to be in a room where I'll be surrounded by kids.
I had enough of all these critters for one day.
Backing out of the living room, I decided to go out and have a relaxing rest with nature outside.
Once I made it out, I took a seat at the yard and took in a huge amount of breathe as the cool breeze engulfed my body.
It's relaxing out here since most pack members are inside or in their houses during this time of the night. It's a clear night tonight and I was able see the stars shimmering proudly up above me. The hot balls of fire millions of miles away showing all of its magnificent beauty.
I always love spending time with myself and do this kind of stuff. Be with nature and admire it's amazing sight. Mostly I would come out here to do the same thing and do star gazing.
It was a breathtaking view to see. And at the same time very relaxing and soothing.
I was admiring the stars' beauty when someone poked my arm. I turned to look who it was, and it was Mom who was watching me with her motherly eyes.
"Mind if I sit beside you?" Mom asked softly.
I smiled. "Not at all." I said and scooted over so I can give Mom some space to sit on.
After she sat, she turned her head towards me with a curious look.
"So tell me, how are you holding up so far?" She asked direct to the point.
I winced internally.
Is she going to talk about the mate thing again? If yes, then I'm surely doomed. The least I want to talk at the moment is about my mate. I don't want to think about it because I know what's going to go down after that, the same thought will be stuck in my brain for a good amount of time, and I didn't want that. I'm too tired of being not myself. I'm too tired of feeling depressed because of something I can't control.
I sighed.
"I'm doing just fine Mom." I stated without giving her a glance.
She hummed.
"Okay. But why is that, for some reason, I don't believe those words come out of your mouth?"
I know she's going to ask that eventually.
I sighed. "I'm fine Mom. I promise, I am." I assured but looks like she wasn't buying it.
"You know you can open up to me, right?" She asked as she stared at me with a gentle spark on her eyes.
I nodded. "I know Mom."
She pursed her lips together.
"Then why aren't you?" She asked which left my brain to not process any words as my reply.
I pondered myself on her question. Why am I not opening up to her when out of all people, I know I can always trust her. She's my mother. The person who gave birth to me into this world. Who raised me to become the person that I am right now.
So why am I not opening up to her?
Well, I guess there's only one answer that can sum it all up. Fear.
Fear of being seen as weak. Fear of being thought of unworthy of this title that I have in my name. And fear that they think I'm not strong enough to face and deal my own issues.
But then again, if I kept all this emotions in, all those fears that was running in my brain would be a reality.
So maybe it's time to let myself free for once.
Just let myself breathe.
"Arthur? Are you okay?" Mom asked as she placed a hand on my lap, effectively snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I'm fine, but I'm not okay." I murmured lowly feeling as if I was back to being a toddler as my mom sat beside me teaching me lessons of how to win at life.
Mom scooted closer to me as she wrapped her arms around me comfortingly.
"Oh honey." She cooed as she gave my temple a gentle kiss.
"I'm sorry Mom. I thought I was doing great in keeping myself together but whenever the thought of my mate invades my mind, everything crumbles down to the ground. All the time. When it comes to the thought of my mate, I have no power over my own brain. It happens all the f*cking time that it made me feel so weak." I stated as my eyes started building up moisture.
"It's okay son. Everything's going to be okay." She whispered as she rubbed soothing circles on my back.
"I want my mate, Mom. I just longed for my mate for so long that it hurts so bad." I whispered as the first batch of tears started falling freely from my eyes.
"Your mate will come, my son. I'm sure they will. You just have to put faith that they will and destiny will set it's own course leading to the both of you finding each other at the right place, right time, and at the best moment. Just have faith, okay?" She said soothingly as she dried my tears away. But stubbornly, my tears kept falling like they were raindrops.
I nodded as I let her words register in my brain.
"Okay." I whispered.
"Now tell me, and I want to hear it from you as loud as you can." She instructed and I once again nodded my head.
"I have faith." I spoke loud and clear.
She shook her head in disapproval.
"I need louder than that."
I sighed. "I have faith." I yelled, probably loud enough to disturb those who are close to us.
"Come on now son. I know you can do better than that." She pushed and I shook my head with a small smile on my face.
"I have faith." I shouted loud enough to disturb everyone in the pack as well as the animals that resides in the forest in front of us.
"Let me tell you something Arthur. Your father can do way better than what you did just now whenever him and I are getting wild in bed." She stated making me scrunch my face up.
Mom always knows how to cheer me up and that's why I love her so f*cking much. There's just nothing like her. She really is one of a kind and I wouldn't have it any other way.
With a little shake of my head, I let out a chuckle.
"God, I didn't want to know about that Mom."
"Exactly. Now louder."
I groaned. "I have a f*cking faith."
"Better. Try again." She commented.
"Are you serious Mom? You do realize it's evening and everyone in this pack is resting, right?" I asked just in case she suddenly forgotten.
"Oh I am very much aware of that. Now louder." She replied.
I shook my head. "I'm not gonna yell louder than what I just did. Hell no."
"Then we're both gonna stay here all night until you do. Your choice."
I sighed loudly.
I clearly don't know what my mother is trying to get through here. But I'm just gonna play along.
"Fine." I mumbled.
"I'm waiting." She said as she stood in front of me.
I took a deep breath. Held it in as I prepared myself to shout the words out as loud as I possibly can.
And in one breath, I yelled.
"I HAVE A MOTHER F*CKING FAITH. HEAR THAT MOON GODDESS, HEAR THAT."
And I sucked in a huge amount of air as I leaned into the bench's back rest.
Mom nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, do you feel much better?" She asked.
"Surprisingly, yes." I admitted.
She smiled. "That's because you decided to let all those bottled up emotions out."
I nodded my head as I breathed in and out.
"But why do I have to scream that word over and over though?" I questioned.
She smiled again as she went back to sitting next to me.
"Well, that's the way to give assurance to everyone in this pack that you believe in destiny. Not just to this pack, but to the whole world that you're not giving up. That you're never letting this beautiful gift go just that easily. But most importantly, that's the way to assure yourself."
Well damn. Mothers always give the best advices, that's for sure.
I smiled. Not just a regular smile, but a genuine one.
"Thank you Mom." I whispered as I gave her a hug.
She was taken aback at my sudden gesture but immediately hugged me back as she wrapped her arms around me.
"Anything for you my son. It's the least I can do." She mumbled into my shirt.
"And I'm sorry." I said as I buried my face into her neck.
"What for?"
"For pushing you and Dad away."
With that, she melted into the hug and started rubbing soothing circles on my back again.
"It's okay Arthur. Your Dad and I know that you were struggling so don't be too hard on yourself because we completely understand." She responded.
I nodded into her neck.
"Thank you Mom. Thank you so much." I whispered as new batch of tears fell from my eyes and into my Mom's shirt.
"That's what family is for son. We help each other."
After that emotional talk I had with Mom, she decided to change the subject to something lighter.
"So tell me, what are you going to do once you find your mate?" She asked curiously.
I paused as I thought of my response.
Honestly, there are tons of things I want to do once I find my mate. On top of that long list is to engulf then into a hug and kiss their lips like there's no tomorrow.
However, as I thought deeper about it, I realized that I will just make myself completely creepy if all of a sudden I engulf them into a hug and out of nowhere, kiss them on the lips.
So maybe, I should think of something else to better approach my mate.
Probably it's better if I go to the formal side.
"Approach them and introduce myself, shake their hands and go on from there." I answered.
She nodded with a small smile on her lips.
"That's a good way to start things out with your mate." She commented. "But can you really do that though?" She asked.
I frowned.
"Of course I can. What made you think I can't?"
She chuckled lightly.
"Arthur, you're adorable." She stated. "But believe me, once your mate is right there standing in front of you, it's going to be a different story." She said with a smile.
I looked at her questioningly.
She laughed before she pinched my cheek like I was still a little boy.
"When it comes to our mate, all the rational thoughts will all fly out the window." She said. "Even though you have everything planned out for when you and your mate face each other, all those will be useless. Once your instincts kicks in, you even remember having a plan in the first place."
I smiled.
That makes sense.
"You think so?"
She nodded her head again.
"Of course. I've been there with your Dad." She paused. "It was nothing like I expected." She added sparking my own curiosity.
"What did he do?" I asked
She chuckled remembering a very special memory her and Dad shared.
"Well, I'm just gonna put it in one word."
I furrowed my brows.
"And what is it?"
She chuckled once again.
"Aggressive." She answered making me look at her in confusion.
"Aggressive? How?"
"Let's just say right after he found out I was his mate, he kissed me on the lips with a huge boner hiding in his pants. And right then and there, he asked me if he can mark me and then mate." She said causing for my jaw to drop onto the ground.
Damn, my Dad and I have the same way of thinking.
"And what happened after?" I asked.
"Ehhh, I would say that was the day you were created."
And I was now beyond shocked.
Just wow. Didn't know my Dad was that thirsty?
"Damn." Is all I was able to say.
"I know. I was no longer able to control myself as my wolf took over as well. It was just pure instincts and the pull." Mom said with a grin on her face. "So I'm telling you now, you will be surprised with yourself once you find your mate. Who knows you'd do the same as what your father did." She joked.
"Damn." I commented again.
"But let's hope it won't be the same scenario because if your mate happens to be human then it will be traumatizing on their part." She added.
I nodded with a small chuckle. "Yeah, I bet."
"But I can't believe Dad did that though." I spoke as I looked at Mom.
She nodded her head as she looked at me with a "Yep-that's-what-happened" look.
"I was 20 and he was 21 that time." And just like that, my eyes went crazy wide.
"Are you serious Mom?"
She chuckled. "Yup. I'm serious."
I sat there staring at her with me sporting a gaping mouth.
"He also didn't find me when he turned 18. He did the same thing as you did when he went all over the world searching for me. Not knowing I'm residing at the same country as he is. Just a different state."
What the freaking Wow.
"Why didn't he tell me about this?" I asked as I looked at her with disbelief.
"I respect your Dad's decision and I think so myself that he's right." She stated before she paused. "Because we both think that if this happened for a reason then destiny is surely at work. And your Dad and I didn't want to interfere. But now seeing as you still haven't found your other half, I think it was best that I tell you.
"This is crazy." I breathed out.
She agreed.
"Life is crazy. Nothing in this world is normal so expect everything to be that way. But then again, if life isn't as crazy as it is, then life won't be as exciting, don't you think?" Mom spoke and I highly think that what she said was nothing but the truth.
"You're right. Normal is boring." I stated.
Mom laughed as she shook her head.
"Normal is nice, but crazy is a lot more nicer." She said with a chuckle.
And she hit the bullseye again.
Why is my Mom so f*cking wise? And why didn't I inherit that from her?
Cause we're adopted. My wolf, Zion, suddenly chirped in inside my mind.
Shut the f*ck up. We're not adopted. I growled at him which he only laughed at.
Geez, calm down lover boy. I was just kidding.
Definitely not a good joke. I told him.
Yeah. I just realized that to be honest.
That's because you're a dork. I teased.
Well, we all know who's more of a fairy between the two of us so that's 3 points for me. He teased back and I rolled my eyes.
Shut up.
And thankfully, he did.
"You okay son?" Mom asked taking my mind back to Earth.
I turned to her and gave her a smile.
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just giving Zion a little lecture is all."
She laughed. "Of course."
"He's just being such a dork."
She laughed again.
"Aren't you though?" Mom teased and I can't help but laugh along.
"Not as worse as him."
And with that, we both laughed.
"But kidding aside. Maybe we should head back inside since it's getting a lot chillier." Mom suggested and I gladly obliged.
We stood up from the bench we were sitting at and walked our way back inside the pack house.
Once we made it into the huge living room, I saw my Dad plopped down into the giant sofa with a remote in his hand.
Mom immediately went to her husband. And as my father's eyes landed on her, it instantly lit up as all different kinds of emotions swirled inside his orbs. He pulled Mom into his lap and my mother slowly gave Dad a sweet kiss.
And seeing as they were sharing a moment, I decided to look away and give them their privacy.
Thankfully the living room was empty with kids or for sure it will be hella awkward for them.
Sighing, I thought that maybe it would be better if I go up to my apartment and do some work, so I quietly made my way toward the elevator.
But I was instantly stopped by my father's voice before I did.
"Where are you going Son? Dinner is almost ready." He asked with Mom sitting on his lap who was now busy watching the T.V .
"I'm going to my apartment. I was thinking to have a shower before dinner." I told Dad casually.
He nodded his head and went back to watching a show on the T.V. with Mom still sitting on his lap.
"I'll just mind link you when the food is done, sounds good?" He asked as he glanced at me.
I nodded my head with a small smile.
"Sure Dad." Is all I said before I walked towards the elevator and pressed the button of my floor.
Once the elevator opened, I stepped inside and waited for the elevator to close and take me to my desired floor where my apartment was located. A few seconds later, the elevator door opened and I quickly stepped out. I went to my apartment and pressed my thumb on the finger print scanner. The door clicked open and with that, I stepped inside my dimly lit apartment. I went straight to my office and checked if there's a lot of files I had to attend to. But after seeing only a couple resting on top of my table, I decided to skip it for now. Then made my way to my bedroom. I watched my empty bed as I thought of how comfy it is. I was a little tempted to lay on it and just close my eyes for a bit. I'm exhausted and If I laid my tired body on that comfy bed, I'm sure I'll be out like a light with out doing what I intended to do, and that is to shower.
I sat on the edge of my bed and rested my elbows on my knees. I rubbed my face using my hands in pure exhaustion. I'm so beat and I haven't even started on the f**king paperwork yet.
Ugh, just the mere thought of those annoying paperwork make my head pound like it's going to blow up.
I groaned and ran both of my hands on my hair while looking at the floor. I sighed heavily and I plopped down on my bed. I rubbed my hands on my face again then I stared at the ceiling like it's the most interesting thing to see.
Then without realizing it, my mind flew back to my mate, and I know where it will take me again.
This will take me to those heartbreaking and depressing thoughts that I don't want to think about, but I can't stop myself from thinking it. I sat up on my bed and brushed the thought of my mate out of my mind for the time being. For now, I have to shower and clean myself.
Then an idea popped into my head that I may or may not like.
If I go out to a club tonight, will my mate get mad at me?
Well obviously, the answer would be a big yes.
Even with the thought of him being touched by someone else enrage me to the point that my canines wanted to make it's appearance as I mid-shift.
So no, not going clubbing. That thought of going out to the club tonight is thrown into the trash, and that's final. It was stupid of me to even think about anyway
Why the hell did I even consider clubbing anyway? Out of all times, it had to be now.
I neglected clubbing a long time ago for a very good reason. Well not really neglected it completely, I still go to clubs sometimes but not in a reason to get laid. Just to let loose and let myself breathe.
I stood up from my bed and walked into my bathroom to have a warm and relaxing shower. I stripped off my clothes and threw them into the hamper. I turned the shower on and waited for it to warm up. When it was good enough to my liking, I stepped in and stood under the spray head as I let the water cascade down my naked body and soak every part of me. Then I grabbed the wash cloth and put some of my body wash to it, and then I started scrubbing the dirt and dried sweat of earlier's activities off of my body. When I was done, I let the water wash the suds and it went down straight to the drain. Next, I grabbed my shampoo and put some good amount on my hand before I started scrubbing my hair. Once I was done with the shampoo, I did the same process with the conditioner.
After I showered myself clean, I stepped out and grabbed the towel before I wrapped it on my waist. I went in front of the mirror above the sink and wiped the steam out of it. I silently examined my naked reflection. Staring at my own face on the mirror, I can say that I don't look bad but at the same time I don't look good. Just in the middle.
Then I stepped out of the bathroom and went to my walk in closet. I had my clothes and things placed neatly on the right side. But even with all my things in there, it hardly occupied the space that much. While the left side was empty, I decided to save it for when my mate gets here.
I shook the thought out of my head and grabbed a gray boxers from the bottom drawer. After putting it on, I took out a white V-neck shirt and a fitted shorts. Next, I grabbed my deodorant and put some on my armpits. After that, I went back to my bedroom and took the comb from my desk and combed my hair a little until I was satisfied. When I was done, a knock suddenly sounded on the door. I placed the comb back on top of my desk and went to check who it was.
I opened it and was greeted with Jonas, a pack member. He told me that dinner was ready and that my parents are waiting for me. I thanked him with a nod and told him I'll be down in a minute. He bowed his head in respect before he walked off.
I thought Dad will mind link me once the dinner is ready?
Shrugging, I went to my office desk and grabbed my watch before I head out of my apartment and down to the kitchen to have my much needed dinner.
The dinner was done with a little conversation being shared here and there.
After I was finished, I excused myself. Dad asked why I'm in such a hurry in which I replied him that I was tired after today's activities and that I still have some paperwork to do. Thankfully he didn't question me further which I was grateful.
They let me be and I was excused even if I can just walk off; they are still my parents so giving respect is a must.
I was heading back to my apartment when Bryson, Brandon's younger brother who is also a close friend of mine, walked out the elevator.
"Hey man, how's it going?" He asked casually after he saw me. I stopped in front of him and examined his outfit. He was nicely dressed and I'm guessing, he's going to the club like what he usually do.
"Been busy as always, you know, with pack duties and all that sh*t." I stated blandly as I told him about those boring stuff Alpha has to take care of. "By the way, where are you heading? Let me guess, the usual?" I asked with a slight smirk on my face.
He nodded his head while fetching his car keys out of his back pockets.
"Yeah man, just chilling out and having some drink." He said with a shrug.
I raised an eyebrow at him. "And getting laid?" I asked still with a teasing smirk.
"Nah, I'm a changed man. I'm not going to hook up with those hungry sl*ts again since my eyes are glued to my mate." He said making me look at him in shock.
Well damn, why does people keep finding their mates lately? Is this fate's way of making fun of me?
F**k it because it's not funny.
"You found your mate?" I asked shocked and feeling a little envy.
"Yeah I did, but he's human so he doesn't know yet, and I don't know how to approach him honestly." He said and I was even more shocked. 'Him'? Meaning Bry's mate is a guy?
"Wait, him?" I asked voicing my thoughts.
He nodded at me. "Yeah him. My mate is a guy, but not even once I complained though. He's beautiful and I can never ever say no or reject him, not even the thought of rejecting him came to mind. He's very beautiful with brown hair and hazel green eyes, with a short figure. Something in between 5'4 to 5'7 which made him even more beautiful and just the right match for me. Although I'm not gay, but for him I am completely gay, and only him." He said those words with love and sincerity in his voice. I am happy for him because he finally met his other half but it will be hard for him to get his mate, since he's human and Bryson's a werewolf and a pack warrior at that. So I know it will take him a little while to have his mate, but I'm happy nonetheless.
"I'm glad you found your mate, Bry. It's been a while that you've been searching for him, right?" I told him then I pat him on his shoulder showing my happiness for him. He beamed at me and smiled widely.
"Thanks Alpha and yes, almost two years. Anyways, I'm heading out now but if you're not that busy, you can join me if you want." He asked and I considered his offer. Yeah maybe just a one night clubbing won't harm anyone, right?
I'm just gonna be there for a drink and nothing more.
"Yeah sure. You go ahead first. I'll have some things to finish then I'll catch up. The usual place right?" I asked while pressing '4' on the button for the elevator.
"Yeah the usual place as always." He said with a chuckle and I nodded my head.
"Great, I'll be there." I told him and then the elevator door opened.
"Sure thing Alpha." He said and walked towards the door.
"Oh wait." I called out. Stopping him on his feet. "What's your mate's name?"
He smiled genuinely. "His name is Leland."
I nodded my head. "Well I wish you all the best Bryson. Hope to see him here in the pack very soon."
"Thank you again Alpha. And will do."
And with that he walked off as he stepped out of the door. And as for me, I sighed as I stepped inside the elevator. Once I made it to the right floor, I went straight to my office and sat on my comfy desk chair. Might as well start on some paperwork so it won't pile up that much.
15 minutes later, I was able to finish 4 files. Thinking about it, 4 files wasn't that bad considering I only did it in just a span of 15 minutes. Satisfied with my work, I stood up and went to my bedroom to change my shorts to pants and get my shoes. Once I was done changing, I quickly grabbed my leather jacket and put it on.
Very, very Cliché, yes I know.
After that, I went outside to my car. I mind linked Brandon to take care of the pack for the night. He agreed and didn't even bothered asking where I'm going. I stepped inside my car and pushed the button to start the ignition. My car roared to life and with that, I reversed out of the pack house's driveway and out to the club. I just remembered that I still haven't talked to Brandon about him being mates with my sister Bethany. I'll probably schedule that for another day. But for now, I have to let loose, even just for tonight. No funny businesses, just plain drinking and enjoying without the need of sexual intercourse with some random club goers.
A few minutes later, I arrived at the club and I was immediately greeted with loud music blasting inside making the walls of the building shake from the vibration. I went towards the front and nodded my head to the Bouncer who was a buffed guy. He knows me already as I was a regular here before, so he easily let me inside. I scan the place in the dim lighting as my wolf's heightened sight allowed me to see clearer. I made my way to the bar and ordered some drinks that doesn't even have any effects on us werewolves. It does makes us feel good but drunk? nope. We can drink how many bottles of alcoholics we want but just get a little tipsy as an after effect and that's it. There's only one drink that can affect us severly and that is wolf's bane.
I was enjoying my drink when a familiar blonde guy not taller than 5'11 approached me.
"Hey, it's you again. I haven't seen you like forever." He said through the loud music but thankfully I was able to hear him quite clearly. With my enhanced hearing capability, thanks to my wolf by the way, I was able to block the unnecessary noise and focus on the sound I want to focus.
Let's take the talking blondie for example, he might be talking over the loud music but I was still able to hear him very clearly. That's because the music on the background was blocked in my ears and focused on his talking.
Cool right? I know, I just love this abilities and it's nice to have them. They come in handy.
"And you are?" I asked not remembering him at all, but he looked kinda familiar though.
"You forgot about me already Arty?" He said with a pout.
"I'm sorry but I don't really remember you." I said. He wrapped his arms on my neck and stood in between my legs since I'm sitting on a bar stool.
"It's Alister, but everyone calls me Ally." He said with a smirk.
I took his arm away from me and gave him a small smile.
"Oh okay then, I'm Arthur." I said while averting my gaze from him towards the crowd of aroused drunk humans dancing around without a care in the world. I'm pretty sure this Ally guy is human because he doesn't smell like he's one of our kind.
"I know Arty. So you wanna dance?" He asked seductively and I thought about it for a sec. There's no harm if I dance with this blondie right? I mean, I know he's seducing me but I'm sure I can handle myself.
"Sure, lead the way Ally." I told him and he practically beamed at me.
He pulled me towards the dance floor, and after we got there he started dancing to the music. At first, we started out as normally dancing around along with the other people surrounding us. But when the music changed to something seductive, he started grinding his ass on my crotch. Shrugging it out, I continued to dance along with my hands placed on his hips.
As the music goes on, Ally grinded a little bit harder on my crotch and my friend down south slowly awakened.
Oh f**k no.
I didn't think about it that much because I thought I was doing great at keeping my sexual desires at bay. But when the music neared to it's climax, Ally pushed his back into my chest with his ass continually grinding on my crotch. He turned his head towards me and saw him wearing a smug smirk on his lips. He then snaked his hands into my neck as we kept dancing to the music.
"I see I awakened something down there. And it's big." He commented still grinding hard into me.
He turned around so we're now both facing each other. He kept his arms firmly wrapped around my neck as he now grinds his own hard on into mine.
"I'm not here to get laid, Ally." I told him in which he replied with a giggle.
He grinded hard into me as he nipped my jawline.
"Oh really? Maybe I can change that." He whispered as he licked my ear teasingly causing for me to groan.
F**k, this is starting to get out of hand.
When I realized that dancing with Ally was a bad idea, I tried to pull away from him and walk out of the dance floor. But looks like Ally had other plans. He jumped into me which caught me off guard. He wrapped his legs around my waist and grinded his hardening member into mine in a seductive and provocative way, making my restraints started to crumble.
This is not what I intend to do when I decided to come here.
Ally then started nipping on my neck making me groan and he chuckled in response. The smell of his arousal was assaulting my nose, making my sexual desire to spike up tenfold.
"You need a serious release, Arty. Maybe I can help you with that?" He asked seductively. "If...... you let me." He added in a whisper.
Then Ally unwrapped himself from me and knelt down. Now he's facing my hardening member with a smirk on his face. Then he leaned into it and gave me a teasing nip which in return earned him a groan from me. Ally decided to tease me even more as he started to palm my now hardening shaft. And by each stroke he does, my restraints slowly crumbled to tiny pieces.
I don't want this. I know in myself that I don't want this.
But why is it for some reason, my body says something otherwise? That I wanted this. That I wanted release like badly.
With my mind and body on autopilot, I pulled Ally up and stared at him with lust flooding my eyes. He then smirked knowingly as he wrapped his arms around my neck again while leaning closer to my face.
"I guess we needed a room now seeing as Arty is letting his beastly self out. So what do you say? You wanna come with me?" He asked as his breath fanned my lips. He reeked of alcohol and I wasn't surprised since obviously, we're in a bar.
No sh*t there sherlock.
"Oh wait, I meant....cum. You wanna cum with me? I know you want it Arty so let me pleasure you." Ally said then kissed me heatedly. I kissed him back just as heatedly and I instantly dominated him. He opened his warm cavern for me and his tongue danced with mine.
"I'll take that as a yes then." He said after he pulled away from the kiss making me groan in the process. He then took me to a room that was also dimly lit and we continued sucking each others face off.
After my desires for lust dominated my body completely, my brain was functioning in overdrive. I won't have control with my own body as the thought of sex floods my mind. Just sex and nothing else.
As I continued to dominated him, I figured he was wearing too much clothes that's why one by one, I stripped it off of him. And when I felt like I needed more warmth and friction, I stripped his underwear next as I threw it on the side, being disregarded. When finally he was out of clothing, flesh started to clash in a heated way against flesh. Moans erupted out of his mouth as well as groans from my own. He thrashed around on the bed as I continued my hungry ministrations on his body. Once again, moans erupted from both of our mouths in nothing but pure euphoria.
Kissing, growling, licking, nipping, sucking, and thrusting are the only things that the both of us had been doing, but I wanted more. My body is hungry for more. I still wanted more.
Ally's sweaty body arched asking for friction, and I gladly gave him what he asked for. His loud cries of pleasure vibrated inside the dimly lit room as skin smashes against skin. His fingers gripped the bed sheets tightly as I continued.
With my submissive little guy feeling a bit more needy, he asked for a much harder thrust in which I lustfully gave. I know we both need this so might as well give him what he wants.
Unending cries of pain can be made out from the noises as Ally continued to ask for more. Ally wanted to feel the pleasure from the pain as if he's a masochist so gave him more. I growled my dominance and power as I felt my release starting to build up.
I thrusted harder. Faster. And a lot more needier than ever as I prepared for my much needed climax.
And with just one swift move, a chorus of loud moans of sexual high erupted from Ally's mouth as he shoot out his warm juice. And not long after, I released my own.
Once both of us are all drained out, I slumped into Ally's back feeling exhausted.
And just like that, I had the release that I wanted.
But then, suddenly, a nagging feeling made it's way into my head. A feeling which I know belongs to Zion, my wolf.
What have we done, Arthur? He spoke in shock and regret.
And in that very moment, earlier's event finally sinked in inside my mind.
Then realization came crashing down to me like a huge tidal wave that I wasn't able to escape.
I messed up big time.
Like, Big, big time.
                
            
        "The installation of the security cameras are now 80 percent complete, Sir." The guy responsible for the project, said.
I nodded.
"Good, good." I spoke. "When do you think your guys can get it done?"
He looked around and hummed.
"Well since we have everything mostly in place, I think we will have it 100 percent complete by tomorrow noon." He said.
"Alright, sounds good to me." I told him.
He smiled gratefully.
"Is there anything else I can do for you Mr. Trevino?" He asked before he leaves.
I looked at the workers putting their equipments away before I turned to him.
"I think we're good for the day. You and your guys did a great job for almost completing it today." I complimented.
I smiled towards me once again.
"We just did our job, Sir." Was all he said in which I nodded.
"And you did one hell of a job indeed."
He chuckled. "Thank you, Sir. We appreciate it."
After the guy and I talked about the project, it was time for him and his team to leave.
I sighed before I walked back to the pack house. I was kind of exhausted trying to help out with the installation. I didn't just want to watch them put the cameras on but also, I wanted to get involved just for the reason that if things needs fixing, I can do it myself. But then I remembered there were tons of these cameras all throughout the pack so I figured I'll just hire a maintenance guy instead.
"How did it go" Nate asked once he saw me after I entered the pack house.
"It was okay. Most of it was done and they'll just come back tomorrow to complete it." I said in which Nate nodded.
"That's good." He said. "But I just can't believe you spent that much money on these security cameras."
I shrugged.
"It's going to be worth it Nate. It will help us a lot on keeping the pack safe from any kinds of harm. And like I said previously, I don't mind spending a ton if it meant for my pack to be safe and peaceful." I told him.
"Well I know that. It's just, a hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. But I'm not saying having these cameras aren't a good thing because they are. It's just a huge amount of money to me." He stated back which was understandable.
"If you're worried about the pack's financial state, don't be. The pack is very secure when it comes to that matter. In fact, I would say the pack has more than enough for the next generations."
He nodded understandingly.
"Alright. I guess I was just being pessimistic today." He admitted.
I chuckled before I gave his shoulder a pat.
"You're fine, brother. We all have those days."
He chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess."
"And just for you to feel better, I didn't use the pack's money for this project." I said which gained his attention once again.
"What?" He asked with raised brows towards me.
"I didn't use the pack's money." I repeated.
"But why?"
I shrugged. "I figured I have more than enough money in the bank from working at Dad's company so I decided to just use it instead."
"But why would you do that? A hundred thousand bucks? Are you serious?" He asked incredulously.
I shook my head at him. "Like I said, I don't mind. If it's for the pack then I'm more than happy. And besides, I don't have anything to spend it to. So might as well use it for something more useful for everyone's benefit."
"God damn, you're rich." He breathes out dramatically.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well that's what happen when a businessman is single and has no mate to spoil." I joked.
"That's true." He said. "Well if you're looking for someone to spoil, you can go for my daughter." He suggested.
I chuckled.
"She's already spoiled with only you and Jenny, what more if I stepped in?" I joked?
"Well if I'm being honest, she's being very high maintenance lately." He admitted.
I laughed.
"You only have Jenny and yourself to blame for that." I told him.
He scratched the back of his neck and laughed guiltily.
"Not going to deny, we kinda did spoiled her way above the limit." He said.
I shrugged. "But at least she's nothing like the girls her age that are spoiled brats. She's very well mannered and I can see the two of you did a great job in raising her."
He smiled.
"Yeah, that's one of the things I'm thankful for." He admitted. "It's tough being a Dad in my early 20s, but now that I've grown accustomed to having my little girl around, I feel like my whole world now revolves around her and my wife."
And with what he said, I felt a little pang of jealousy.
I may have everything from power, money, friends, and family, but the one thing I only needed in my entire life is also the only thing I don't have, my mate.
That's why I envy Nathan. He had everything he needed to live his life to the fullest.
"What does it feel like?" I asked all of a sudden.
"The what?" He asked back partnered with a frown.
"The feeling of having the people that makes you complete?"
And with that question, his facial expression changed from having a frown to a soft look.
"It's the best feeling ever. It's like winning the lottery but so much more. Having them makes me the happiest person to ever walk this earth and I won't ask for anything better."
What he said, hit me directly in the heart. I could feel it from each word he spoke. The aura that he radiated as he was telling me how over the moon he was at the fact that he have his little family.
If I have what he have then I wouldn't ask for anything else. All I need is my mate.
But I guess that's way too much to ask.
I smiled at him as I gave his shoulder a pat.
"You're one lucky guy, Nathan." I said in which he smiled back but with a sad look in his eyes.
"Thanks, brother. And I'm sure, in your destined time, you will finally have your mate." He said.
"I know, Nate. I know." I replied with a nod.
And with that, I decided to go to my office to attend some of my paperwork stacked up in my desk.
This is going to be excruciating.
After a couple of hours busying myself in the office, I decided to head downstairs for some fresh air. I feel like I'm going to suffocate myself if I kept my face buried with all those annoying papers for another hour.
Once I made it in the kitchen, I went to the fridge and took out a can of beer.
"You look really tired Alpha." The omega who had a name Ari spoke all of a sudden, making me turn my attention to her.
"Yeah. Doing office work is utterly draining." I stated as I rubbed my neck.
Ari nodded her head. "I see. Well then do you have a specific dish in mind that you like, so it would at least help you relax Alpha?"
I shook my head. "It's fine Ari. What ever dish you guys are cooking is fine with me."
She nodded. "If you say so Alpha."
And with that, she was back to work.
After giving all of them a praise for doing such a good job, I walked out of the kitchen and made my way to the living room. But once I entered, I saw a swarm of kids playing everywhere. Some are play fighting, some are playing tag or board game, and some are playing video games.
I groaned.
No, I don't want to be in a room where I'll be surrounded by kids.
I had enough of all these critters for one day.
Backing out of the living room, I decided to go out and have a relaxing rest with nature outside.
Once I made it out, I took a seat at the yard and took in a huge amount of breathe as the cool breeze engulfed my body.
It's relaxing out here since most pack members are inside or in their houses during this time of the night. It's a clear night tonight and I was able see the stars shimmering proudly up above me. The hot balls of fire millions of miles away showing all of its magnificent beauty.
I always love spending time with myself and do this kind of stuff. Be with nature and admire it's amazing sight. Mostly I would come out here to do the same thing and do star gazing.
It was a breathtaking view to see. And at the same time very relaxing and soothing.
I was admiring the stars' beauty when someone poked my arm. I turned to look who it was, and it was Mom who was watching me with her motherly eyes.
"Mind if I sit beside you?" Mom asked softly.
I smiled. "Not at all." I said and scooted over so I can give Mom some space to sit on.
After she sat, she turned her head towards me with a curious look.
"So tell me, how are you holding up so far?" She asked direct to the point.
I winced internally.
Is she going to talk about the mate thing again? If yes, then I'm surely doomed. The least I want to talk at the moment is about my mate. I don't want to think about it because I know what's going to go down after that, the same thought will be stuck in my brain for a good amount of time, and I didn't want that. I'm too tired of being not myself. I'm too tired of feeling depressed because of something I can't control.
I sighed.
"I'm doing just fine Mom." I stated without giving her a glance.
She hummed.
"Okay. But why is that, for some reason, I don't believe those words come out of your mouth?"
I know she's going to ask that eventually.
I sighed. "I'm fine Mom. I promise, I am." I assured but looks like she wasn't buying it.
"You know you can open up to me, right?" She asked as she stared at me with a gentle spark on her eyes.
I nodded. "I know Mom."
She pursed her lips together.
"Then why aren't you?" She asked which left my brain to not process any words as my reply.
I pondered myself on her question. Why am I not opening up to her when out of all people, I know I can always trust her. She's my mother. The person who gave birth to me into this world. Who raised me to become the person that I am right now.
So why am I not opening up to her?
Well, I guess there's only one answer that can sum it all up. Fear.
Fear of being seen as weak. Fear of being thought of unworthy of this title that I have in my name. And fear that they think I'm not strong enough to face and deal my own issues.
But then again, if I kept all this emotions in, all those fears that was running in my brain would be a reality.
So maybe it's time to let myself free for once.
Just let myself breathe.
"Arthur? Are you okay?" Mom asked as she placed a hand on my lap, effectively snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I'm fine, but I'm not okay." I murmured lowly feeling as if I was back to being a toddler as my mom sat beside me teaching me lessons of how to win at life.
Mom scooted closer to me as she wrapped her arms around me comfortingly.
"Oh honey." She cooed as she gave my temple a gentle kiss.
"I'm sorry Mom. I thought I was doing great in keeping myself together but whenever the thought of my mate invades my mind, everything crumbles down to the ground. All the time. When it comes to the thought of my mate, I have no power over my own brain. It happens all the f*cking time that it made me feel so weak." I stated as my eyes started building up moisture.
"It's okay son. Everything's going to be okay." She whispered as she rubbed soothing circles on my back.
"I want my mate, Mom. I just longed for my mate for so long that it hurts so bad." I whispered as the first batch of tears started falling freely from my eyes.
"Your mate will come, my son. I'm sure they will. You just have to put faith that they will and destiny will set it's own course leading to the both of you finding each other at the right place, right time, and at the best moment. Just have faith, okay?" She said soothingly as she dried my tears away. But stubbornly, my tears kept falling like they were raindrops.
I nodded as I let her words register in my brain.
"Okay." I whispered.
"Now tell me, and I want to hear it from you as loud as you can." She instructed and I once again nodded my head.
"I have faith." I spoke loud and clear.
She shook her head in disapproval.
"I need louder than that."
I sighed. "I have faith." I yelled, probably loud enough to disturb those who are close to us.
"Come on now son. I know you can do better than that." She pushed and I shook my head with a small smile on my face.
"I have faith." I shouted loud enough to disturb everyone in the pack as well as the animals that resides in the forest in front of us.
"Let me tell you something Arthur. Your father can do way better than what you did just now whenever him and I are getting wild in bed." She stated making me scrunch my face up.
Mom always knows how to cheer me up and that's why I love her so f*cking much. There's just nothing like her. She really is one of a kind and I wouldn't have it any other way.
With a little shake of my head, I let out a chuckle.
"God, I didn't want to know about that Mom."
"Exactly. Now louder."
I groaned. "I have a f*cking faith."
"Better. Try again." She commented.
"Are you serious Mom? You do realize it's evening and everyone in this pack is resting, right?" I asked just in case she suddenly forgotten.
"Oh I am very much aware of that. Now louder." She replied.
I shook my head. "I'm not gonna yell louder than what I just did. Hell no."
"Then we're both gonna stay here all night until you do. Your choice."
I sighed loudly.
I clearly don't know what my mother is trying to get through here. But I'm just gonna play along.
"Fine." I mumbled.
"I'm waiting." She said as she stood in front of me.
I took a deep breath. Held it in as I prepared myself to shout the words out as loud as I possibly can.
And in one breath, I yelled.
"I HAVE A MOTHER F*CKING FAITH. HEAR THAT MOON GODDESS, HEAR THAT."
And I sucked in a huge amount of air as I leaned into the bench's back rest.
Mom nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, do you feel much better?" She asked.
"Surprisingly, yes." I admitted.
She smiled. "That's because you decided to let all those bottled up emotions out."
I nodded my head as I breathed in and out.
"But why do I have to scream that word over and over though?" I questioned.
She smiled again as she went back to sitting next to me.
"Well, that's the way to give assurance to everyone in this pack that you believe in destiny. Not just to this pack, but to the whole world that you're not giving up. That you're never letting this beautiful gift go just that easily. But most importantly, that's the way to assure yourself."
Well damn. Mothers always give the best advices, that's for sure.
I smiled. Not just a regular smile, but a genuine one.
"Thank you Mom." I whispered as I gave her a hug.
She was taken aback at my sudden gesture but immediately hugged me back as she wrapped her arms around me.
"Anything for you my son. It's the least I can do." She mumbled into my shirt.
"And I'm sorry." I said as I buried my face into her neck.
"What for?"
"For pushing you and Dad away."
With that, she melted into the hug and started rubbing soothing circles on my back again.
"It's okay Arthur. Your Dad and I know that you were struggling so don't be too hard on yourself because we completely understand." She responded.
I nodded into her neck.
"Thank you Mom. Thank you so much." I whispered as new batch of tears fell from my eyes and into my Mom's shirt.
"That's what family is for son. We help each other."
After that emotional talk I had with Mom, she decided to change the subject to something lighter.
"So tell me, what are you going to do once you find your mate?" She asked curiously.
I paused as I thought of my response.
Honestly, there are tons of things I want to do once I find my mate. On top of that long list is to engulf then into a hug and kiss their lips like there's no tomorrow.
However, as I thought deeper about it, I realized that I will just make myself completely creepy if all of a sudden I engulf them into a hug and out of nowhere, kiss them on the lips.
So maybe, I should think of something else to better approach my mate.
Probably it's better if I go to the formal side.
"Approach them and introduce myself, shake their hands and go on from there." I answered.
She nodded with a small smile on her lips.
"That's a good way to start things out with your mate." She commented. "But can you really do that though?" She asked.
I frowned.
"Of course I can. What made you think I can't?"
She chuckled lightly.
"Arthur, you're adorable." She stated. "But believe me, once your mate is right there standing in front of you, it's going to be a different story." She said with a smile.
I looked at her questioningly.
She laughed before she pinched my cheek like I was still a little boy.
"When it comes to our mate, all the rational thoughts will all fly out the window." She said. "Even though you have everything planned out for when you and your mate face each other, all those will be useless. Once your instincts kicks in, you even remember having a plan in the first place."
I smiled.
That makes sense.
"You think so?"
She nodded her head again.
"Of course. I've been there with your Dad." She paused. "It was nothing like I expected." She added sparking my own curiosity.
"What did he do?" I asked
She chuckled remembering a very special memory her and Dad shared.
"Well, I'm just gonna put it in one word."
I furrowed my brows.
"And what is it?"
She chuckled once again.
"Aggressive." She answered making me look at her in confusion.
"Aggressive? How?"
"Let's just say right after he found out I was his mate, he kissed me on the lips with a huge boner hiding in his pants. And right then and there, he asked me if he can mark me and then mate." She said causing for my jaw to drop onto the ground.
Damn, my Dad and I have the same way of thinking.
"And what happened after?" I asked.
"Ehhh, I would say that was the day you were created."
And I was now beyond shocked.
Just wow. Didn't know my Dad was that thirsty?
"Damn." Is all I was able to say.
"I know. I was no longer able to control myself as my wolf took over as well. It was just pure instincts and the pull." Mom said with a grin on her face. "So I'm telling you now, you will be surprised with yourself once you find your mate. Who knows you'd do the same as what your father did." She joked.
"Damn." I commented again.
"But let's hope it won't be the same scenario because if your mate happens to be human then it will be traumatizing on their part." She added.
I nodded with a small chuckle. "Yeah, I bet."
"But I can't believe Dad did that though." I spoke as I looked at Mom.
She nodded her head as she looked at me with a "Yep-that's-what-happened" look.
"I was 20 and he was 21 that time." And just like that, my eyes went crazy wide.
"Are you serious Mom?"
She chuckled. "Yup. I'm serious."
I sat there staring at her with me sporting a gaping mouth.
"He also didn't find me when he turned 18. He did the same thing as you did when he went all over the world searching for me. Not knowing I'm residing at the same country as he is. Just a different state."
What the freaking Wow.
"Why didn't he tell me about this?" I asked as I looked at her with disbelief.
"I respect your Dad's decision and I think so myself that he's right." She stated before she paused. "Because we both think that if this happened for a reason then destiny is surely at work. And your Dad and I didn't want to interfere. But now seeing as you still haven't found your other half, I think it was best that I tell you.
"This is crazy." I breathed out.
She agreed.
"Life is crazy. Nothing in this world is normal so expect everything to be that way. But then again, if life isn't as crazy as it is, then life won't be as exciting, don't you think?" Mom spoke and I highly think that what she said was nothing but the truth.
"You're right. Normal is boring." I stated.
Mom laughed as she shook her head.
"Normal is nice, but crazy is a lot more nicer." She said with a chuckle.
And she hit the bullseye again.
Why is my Mom so f*cking wise? And why didn't I inherit that from her?
Cause we're adopted. My wolf, Zion, suddenly chirped in inside my mind.
Shut the f*ck up. We're not adopted. I growled at him which he only laughed at.
Geez, calm down lover boy. I was just kidding.
Definitely not a good joke. I told him.
Yeah. I just realized that to be honest.
That's because you're a dork. I teased.
Well, we all know who's more of a fairy between the two of us so that's 3 points for me. He teased back and I rolled my eyes.
Shut up.
And thankfully, he did.
"You okay son?" Mom asked taking my mind back to Earth.
I turned to her and gave her a smile.
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just giving Zion a little lecture is all."
She laughed. "Of course."
"He's just being such a dork."
She laughed again.
"Aren't you though?" Mom teased and I can't help but laugh along.
"Not as worse as him."
And with that, we both laughed.
"But kidding aside. Maybe we should head back inside since it's getting a lot chillier." Mom suggested and I gladly obliged.
We stood up from the bench we were sitting at and walked our way back inside the pack house.
Once we made it into the huge living room, I saw my Dad plopped down into the giant sofa with a remote in his hand.
Mom immediately went to her husband. And as my father's eyes landed on her, it instantly lit up as all different kinds of emotions swirled inside his orbs. He pulled Mom into his lap and my mother slowly gave Dad a sweet kiss.
And seeing as they were sharing a moment, I decided to look away and give them their privacy.
Thankfully the living room was empty with kids or for sure it will be hella awkward for them.
Sighing, I thought that maybe it would be better if I go up to my apartment and do some work, so I quietly made my way toward the elevator.
But I was instantly stopped by my father's voice before I did.
"Where are you going Son? Dinner is almost ready." He asked with Mom sitting on his lap who was now busy watching the T.V .
"I'm going to my apartment. I was thinking to have a shower before dinner." I told Dad casually.
He nodded his head and went back to watching a show on the T.V. with Mom still sitting on his lap.
"I'll just mind link you when the food is done, sounds good?" He asked as he glanced at me.
I nodded my head with a small smile.
"Sure Dad." Is all I said before I walked towards the elevator and pressed the button of my floor.
Once the elevator opened, I stepped inside and waited for the elevator to close and take me to my desired floor where my apartment was located. A few seconds later, the elevator door opened and I quickly stepped out. I went to my apartment and pressed my thumb on the finger print scanner. The door clicked open and with that, I stepped inside my dimly lit apartment. I went straight to my office and checked if there's a lot of files I had to attend to. But after seeing only a couple resting on top of my table, I decided to skip it for now. Then made my way to my bedroom. I watched my empty bed as I thought of how comfy it is. I was a little tempted to lay on it and just close my eyes for a bit. I'm exhausted and If I laid my tired body on that comfy bed, I'm sure I'll be out like a light with out doing what I intended to do, and that is to shower.
I sat on the edge of my bed and rested my elbows on my knees. I rubbed my face using my hands in pure exhaustion. I'm so beat and I haven't even started on the f**king paperwork yet.
Ugh, just the mere thought of those annoying paperwork make my head pound like it's going to blow up.
I groaned and ran both of my hands on my hair while looking at the floor. I sighed heavily and I plopped down on my bed. I rubbed my hands on my face again then I stared at the ceiling like it's the most interesting thing to see.
Then without realizing it, my mind flew back to my mate, and I know where it will take me again.
This will take me to those heartbreaking and depressing thoughts that I don't want to think about, but I can't stop myself from thinking it. I sat up on my bed and brushed the thought of my mate out of my mind for the time being. For now, I have to shower and clean myself.
Then an idea popped into my head that I may or may not like.
If I go out to a club tonight, will my mate get mad at me?
Well obviously, the answer would be a big yes.
Even with the thought of him being touched by someone else enrage me to the point that my canines wanted to make it's appearance as I mid-shift.
So no, not going clubbing. That thought of going out to the club tonight is thrown into the trash, and that's final. It was stupid of me to even think about anyway
Why the hell did I even consider clubbing anyway? Out of all times, it had to be now.
I neglected clubbing a long time ago for a very good reason. Well not really neglected it completely, I still go to clubs sometimes but not in a reason to get laid. Just to let loose and let myself breathe.
I stood up from my bed and walked into my bathroom to have a warm and relaxing shower. I stripped off my clothes and threw them into the hamper. I turned the shower on and waited for it to warm up. When it was good enough to my liking, I stepped in and stood under the spray head as I let the water cascade down my naked body and soak every part of me. Then I grabbed the wash cloth and put some of my body wash to it, and then I started scrubbing the dirt and dried sweat of earlier's activities off of my body. When I was done, I let the water wash the suds and it went down straight to the drain. Next, I grabbed my shampoo and put some good amount on my hand before I started scrubbing my hair. Once I was done with the shampoo, I did the same process with the conditioner.
After I showered myself clean, I stepped out and grabbed the towel before I wrapped it on my waist. I went in front of the mirror above the sink and wiped the steam out of it. I silently examined my naked reflection. Staring at my own face on the mirror, I can say that I don't look bad but at the same time I don't look good. Just in the middle.
Then I stepped out of the bathroom and went to my walk in closet. I had my clothes and things placed neatly on the right side. But even with all my things in there, it hardly occupied the space that much. While the left side was empty, I decided to save it for when my mate gets here.
I shook the thought out of my head and grabbed a gray boxers from the bottom drawer. After putting it on, I took out a white V-neck shirt and a fitted shorts. Next, I grabbed my deodorant and put some on my armpits. After that, I went back to my bedroom and took the comb from my desk and combed my hair a little until I was satisfied. When I was done, a knock suddenly sounded on the door. I placed the comb back on top of my desk and went to check who it was.
I opened it and was greeted with Jonas, a pack member. He told me that dinner was ready and that my parents are waiting for me. I thanked him with a nod and told him I'll be down in a minute. He bowed his head in respect before he walked off.
I thought Dad will mind link me once the dinner is ready?
Shrugging, I went to my office desk and grabbed my watch before I head out of my apartment and down to the kitchen to have my much needed dinner.
The dinner was done with a little conversation being shared here and there.
After I was finished, I excused myself. Dad asked why I'm in such a hurry in which I replied him that I was tired after today's activities and that I still have some paperwork to do. Thankfully he didn't question me further which I was grateful.
They let me be and I was excused even if I can just walk off; they are still my parents so giving respect is a must.
I was heading back to my apartment when Bryson, Brandon's younger brother who is also a close friend of mine, walked out the elevator.
"Hey man, how's it going?" He asked casually after he saw me. I stopped in front of him and examined his outfit. He was nicely dressed and I'm guessing, he's going to the club like what he usually do.
"Been busy as always, you know, with pack duties and all that sh*t." I stated blandly as I told him about those boring stuff Alpha has to take care of. "By the way, where are you heading? Let me guess, the usual?" I asked with a slight smirk on my face.
He nodded his head while fetching his car keys out of his back pockets.
"Yeah man, just chilling out and having some drink." He said with a shrug.
I raised an eyebrow at him. "And getting laid?" I asked still with a teasing smirk.
"Nah, I'm a changed man. I'm not going to hook up with those hungry sl*ts again since my eyes are glued to my mate." He said making me look at him in shock.
Well damn, why does people keep finding their mates lately? Is this fate's way of making fun of me?
F**k it because it's not funny.
"You found your mate?" I asked shocked and feeling a little envy.
"Yeah I did, but he's human so he doesn't know yet, and I don't know how to approach him honestly." He said and I was even more shocked. 'Him'? Meaning Bry's mate is a guy?
"Wait, him?" I asked voicing my thoughts.
He nodded at me. "Yeah him. My mate is a guy, but not even once I complained though. He's beautiful and I can never ever say no or reject him, not even the thought of rejecting him came to mind. He's very beautiful with brown hair and hazel green eyes, with a short figure. Something in between 5'4 to 5'7 which made him even more beautiful and just the right match for me. Although I'm not gay, but for him I am completely gay, and only him." He said those words with love and sincerity in his voice. I am happy for him because he finally met his other half but it will be hard for him to get his mate, since he's human and Bryson's a werewolf and a pack warrior at that. So I know it will take him a little while to have his mate, but I'm happy nonetheless.
"I'm glad you found your mate, Bry. It's been a while that you've been searching for him, right?" I told him then I pat him on his shoulder showing my happiness for him. He beamed at me and smiled widely.
"Thanks Alpha and yes, almost two years. Anyways, I'm heading out now but if you're not that busy, you can join me if you want." He asked and I considered his offer. Yeah maybe just a one night clubbing won't harm anyone, right?
I'm just gonna be there for a drink and nothing more.
"Yeah sure. You go ahead first. I'll have some things to finish then I'll catch up. The usual place right?" I asked while pressing '4' on the button for the elevator.
"Yeah the usual place as always." He said with a chuckle and I nodded my head.
"Great, I'll be there." I told him and then the elevator door opened.
"Sure thing Alpha." He said and walked towards the door.
"Oh wait." I called out. Stopping him on his feet. "What's your mate's name?"
He smiled genuinely. "His name is Leland."
I nodded my head. "Well I wish you all the best Bryson. Hope to see him here in the pack very soon."
"Thank you again Alpha. And will do."
And with that he walked off as he stepped out of the door. And as for me, I sighed as I stepped inside the elevator. Once I made it to the right floor, I went straight to my office and sat on my comfy desk chair. Might as well start on some paperwork so it won't pile up that much.
15 minutes later, I was able to finish 4 files. Thinking about it, 4 files wasn't that bad considering I only did it in just a span of 15 minutes. Satisfied with my work, I stood up and went to my bedroom to change my shorts to pants and get my shoes. Once I was done changing, I quickly grabbed my leather jacket and put it on.
Very, very Cliché, yes I know.
After that, I went outside to my car. I mind linked Brandon to take care of the pack for the night. He agreed and didn't even bothered asking where I'm going. I stepped inside my car and pushed the button to start the ignition. My car roared to life and with that, I reversed out of the pack house's driveway and out to the club. I just remembered that I still haven't talked to Brandon about him being mates with my sister Bethany. I'll probably schedule that for another day. But for now, I have to let loose, even just for tonight. No funny businesses, just plain drinking and enjoying without the need of sexual intercourse with some random club goers.
A few minutes later, I arrived at the club and I was immediately greeted with loud music blasting inside making the walls of the building shake from the vibration. I went towards the front and nodded my head to the Bouncer who was a buffed guy. He knows me already as I was a regular here before, so he easily let me inside. I scan the place in the dim lighting as my wolf's heightened sight allowed me to see clearer. I made my way to the bar and ordered some drinks that doesn't even have any effects on us werewolves. It does makes us feel good but drunk? nope. We can drink how many bottles of alcoholics we want but just get a little tipsy as an after effect and that's it. There's only one drink that can affect us severly and that is wolf's bane.
I was enjoying my drink when a familiar blonde guy not taller than 5'11 approached me.
"Hey, it's you again. I haven't seen you like forever." He said through the loud music but thankfully I was able to hear him quite clearly. With my enhanced hearing capability, thanks to my wolf by the way, I was able to block the unnecessary noise and focus on the sound I want to focus.
Let's take the talking blondie for example, he might be talking over the loud music but I was still able to hear him very clearly. That's because the music on the background was blocked in my ears and focused on his talking.
Cool right? I know, I just love this abilities and it's nice to have them. They come in handy.
"And you are?" I asked not remembering him at all, but he looked kinda familiar though.
"You forgot about me already Arty?" He said with a pout.
"I'm sorry but I don't really remember you." I said. He wrapped his arms on my neck and stood in between my legs since I'm sitting on a bar stool.
"It's Alister, but everyone calls me Ally." He said with a smirk.
I took his arm away from me and gave him a small smile.
"Oh okay then, I'm Arthur." I said while averting my gaze from him towards the crowd of aroused drunk humans dancing around without a care in the world. I'm pretty sure this Ally guy is human because he doesn't smell like he's one of our kind.
"I know Arty. So you wanna dance?" He asked seductively and I thought about it for a sec. There's no harm if I dance with this blondie right? I mean, I know he's seducing me but I'm sure I can handle myself.
"Sure, lead the way Ally." I told him and he practically beamed at me.
He pulled me towards the dance floor, and after we got there he started dancing to the music. At first, we started out as normally dancing around along with the other people surrounding us. But when the music changed to something seductive, he started grinding his ass on my crotch. Shrugging it out, I continued to dance along with my hands placed on his hips.
As the music goes on, Ally grinded a little bit harder on my crotch and my friend down south slowly awakened.
Oh f**k no.
I didn't think about it that much because I thought I was doing great at keeping my sexual desires at bay. But when the music neared to it's climax, Ally pushed his back into my chest with his ass continually grinding on my crotch. He turned his head towards me and saw him wearing a smug smirk on his lips. He then snaked his hands into my neck as we kept dancing to the music.
"I see I awakened something down there. And it's big." He commented still grinding hard into me.
He turned around so we're now both facing each other. He kept his arms firmly wrapped around my neck as he now grinds his own hard on into mine.
"I'm not here to get laid, Ally." I told him in which he replied with a giggle.
He grinded hard into me as he nipped my jawline.
"Oh really? Maybe I can change that." He whispered as he licked my ear teasingly causing for me to groan.
F**k, this is starting to get out of hand.
When I realized that dancing with Ally was a bad idea, I tried to pull away from him and walk out of the dance floor. But looks like Ally had other plans. He jumped into me which caught me off guard. He wrapped his legs around my waist and grinded his hardening member into mine in a seductive and provocative way, making my restraints started to crumble.
This is not what I intend to do when I decided to come here.
Ally then started nipping on my neck making me groan and he chuckled in response. The smell of his arousal was assaulting my nose, making my sexual desire to spike up tenfold.
"You need a serious release, Arty. Maybe I can help you with that?" He asked seductively. "If...... you let me." He added in a whisper.
Then Ally unwrapped himself from me and knelt down. Now he's facing my hardening member with a smirk on his face. Then he leaned into it and gave me a teasing nip which in return earned him a groan from me. Ally decided to tease me even more as he started to palm my now hardening shaft. And by each stroke he does, my restraints slowly crumbled to tiny pieces.
I don't want this. I know in myself that I don't want this.
But why is it for some reason, my body says something otherwise? That I wanted this. That I wanted release like badly.
With my mind and body on autopilot, I pulled Ally up and stared at him with lust flooding my eyes. He then smirked knowingly as he wrapped his arms around my neck again while leaning closer to my face.
"I guess we needed a room now seeing as Arty is letting his beastly self out. So what do you say? You wanna come with me?" He asked as his breath fanned my lips. He reeked of alcohol and I wasn't surprised since obviously, we're in a bar.
No sh*t there sherlock.
"Oh wait, I meant....cum. You wanna cum with me? I know you want it Arty so let me pleasure you." Ally said then kissed me heatedly. I kissed him back just as heatedly and I instantly dominated him. He opened his warm cavern for me and his tongue danced with mine.
"I'll take that as a yes then." He said after he pulled away from the kiss making me groan in the process. He then took me to a room that was also dimly lit and we continued sucking each others face off.
After my desires for lust dominated my body completely, my brain was functioning in overdrive. I won't have control with my own body as the thought of sex floods my mind. Just sex and nothing else.
As I continued to dominated him, I figured he was wearing too much clothes that's why one by one, I stripped it off of him. And when I felt like I needed more warmth and friction, I stripped his underwear next as I threw it on the side, being disregarded. When finally he was out of clothing, flesh started to clash in a heated way against flesh. Moans erupted out of his mouth as well as groans from my own. He thrashed around on the bed as I continued my hungry ministrations on his body. Once again, moans erupted from both of our mouths in nothing but pure euphoria.
Kissing, growling, licking, nipping, sucking, and thrusting are the only things that the both of us had been doing, but I wanted more. My body is hungry for more. I still wanted more.
Ally's sweaty body arched asking for friction, and I gladly gave him what he asked for. His loud cries of pleasure vibrated inside the dimly lit room as skin smashes against skin. His fingers gripped the bed sheets tightly as I continued.
With my submissive little guy feeling a bit more needy, he asked for a much harder thrust in which I lustfully gave. I know we both need this so might as well give him what he wants.
Unending cries of pain can be made out from the noises as Ally continued to ask for more. Ally wanted to feel the pleasure from the pain as if he's a masochist so gave him more. I growled my dominance and power as I felt my release starting to build up.
I thrusted harder. Faster. And a lot more needier than ever as I prepared for my much needed climax.
And with just one swift move, a chorus of loud moans of sexual high erupted from Ally's mouth as he shoot out his warm juice. And not long after, I released my own.
Once both of us are all drained out, I slumped into Ally's back feeling exhausted.
And just like that, I had the release that I wanted.
But then, suddenly, a nagging feeling made it's way into my head. A feeling which I know belongs to Zion, my wolf.
What have we done, Arthur? He spoke in shock and regret.
And in that very moment, earlier's event finally sinked in inside my mind.
Then realization came crashing down to me like a huge tidal wave that I wasn't able to escape.
I messed up big time.
Like, Big, big time.
