The day has come for Fay, the day that she was supposed to meet her soul mate and true love. Werewolves held a mating ceremony each year for young werewolves that have come of age to find their fated mates. Each werewolf could find their mates from the age of twenty as was Fay's age.
Their five Lycan leaders or The Five as they were called attend the ceremony each year to celebrate with fellow werewolf citizens. They ruled their werewolf lands with iron fists and maintained the peace. They were Alpha Nathan, Alpha Sloan, Alpha Wyatt, Alpha Mason and Alpha Clause. Alpha Clause was known to be very fierce and strict that no one dared to cross him.
Fay was walking down the stairs of her parent's two story building with her best friend, Amy to attend the mating ceremony.
"I can't believe that we are finally going to find our mates! And we're going to see The Five upclose too!" Amy squealed as they landed on the ground, making Fay laugh at her happiness.
Her excitement was contagious and Day was also excited to finally find her mate. She wanted to meet her other half and have pups of her own. "Yeah, but it's happening and we're going to enjoy it."
"Running off without saying bye?" Fay's dad, Thomas said with a grin on his face as he came out of the kitchen which was beside the stair case.
Fay grinned back at him as she knew he was joking while Amy let out a small laugh. "Of course not dad, we were just about to look for you."
"That's my girl!" He exclaimed and enveloped her in a hug then released her to ruffle Amy's hair in a playful gesture. "You're my girl too."
"Thanks, Mr. Thomas." Amy replied with a grin as Fay moved to enter the kitchen, but the doors opened and her mom, Selene walked out wearing an apron.
"Fay, is it time already?" Selene asked as she came to stand in front of her.
"Yes, mom. We're about to go to the town square for the ceremony." Fay answered as she smiled at her mom.
Selene wrapped her arms around her too and sighed, "I hope you find your mate there."
She released her from the hug and hugged Amy too, adding, "Both of you."
"We hope so too." Fay replied and Amy nodded with a large smile.
Fay looked at her dad and mom as she said, "We have to go now so that we won't be late. See you when we come back with our mates!"
"Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas!" Amy added.
Thomas and Selene replied to them both,"Bye, see you then!"
Fay nodded as she and Amy turned around and rushed to the door. They closed it after coming out of the house. Amy hooked her arm in hers and pulled her to walk faster to the town square which was only a block away from Fay's house. They passed houses on the streets that looked like Fay's house and some shops that were bustling with people.
"I wonder who my mate would be, would he be like I imagined? Handsome, tall and toned?" Amy said as she almost skipped in her steps out of excitement.
Fay let out a laugh, "Or he could be ugly, short with a pot belly or skin and bones."
Amy laughed too at Fay's joke as they rounded the corner to the street that lead to the town square. As she looked around at the people going in the direction they were going, Fay said, "Looks aren't everything, sure we want a gorgeous mate, but we also want one with a kind heart and good personality."
"Yes, yes, I know, but if he has a good personality and doesn't have a gorgeous appearance, I doubt I can love him." Amy replied with a frown as they watched people gather in the town square.
"He's your soul mate and fated love, you have to love him no matter what." Fay let out a chuckle as they reached the town square where the people talked amongst themselves. A stage was set up at the front with five chairs there.
"Yeah, you're right, but I hope we get all the package. Looks, personality and status."
"Me too." Fay replied just as five limos pulled over and the doors opened at the same time.
Both of the girls' attention went to The Five that each came out of their own limo. The five Lycan Alphas were all so good looking and toned that all the girls had their eyes on them. They moved through the crowd with grace and powerful auras as everyone there cheered for them.
They climbed up the stage using the steps on the side and made their way to the front of the stage to address the werewolves. Alpha Mason stood on the left, then beside him stood, Alpha Nathan. Alpha Clause was in the middle with Alpha Wyatt beside him and Alpha Sloan on the far right.
Alpha Mason was known to be the oldest and was the one that usually spoke in these ceremonies. He raised his hands in a welcoming gesture with a friendly smile on his face, "Welcome, young wolves. We are elated to be here with you on the day you are to find your mates and be complete. May the mating ceremony begin!"
Everyone cheered again as Alpha Mason brought out a red stone from the inside of his jacket and turned to the other Alphas as the held it out to them. The crowd quieted down to watch in awe as the other four Alphas placed their hands on the red stone. The stone started glowing and the four took their hands off, leaving it in Mason's hands. It was still glowing in the night as he placed it on the podium on the stage.
The red light from the red stone suddenly glowed to the sky, hitting the moon. The sky became orange mixed with the dark blue of the night sky and all the werewolves started humming a tone as they started looking for their mates among the crowd.
What the Alphas did with the red stone was what made werewolves find their mates. So as soon as the red light hit the moon, every werewolf there started feeling a pull towards their mates. The need to find her mate increased inside Fay as her eyes turned red like the stone and every werewolf's eyes there.She didn't know where Amy had gone because she was too busy trying to find her mate as the red moon guided her. She heard other werewolves murmur 'mate' to each other as they found their mates.As her eyes moved through the crowd, she felt them suddenly snap to Alpha Clause on the stage like someone had turned her head to look at him. He was already looking at her and their gaze locked. She couldn't pull away from his gaze as she felt so drawn to him, she wanted to run to him and mark him then and the
"Hi." Aster greeted Fay."Nice to meet you, Aster.""Nice to meet you too.""We also have to go, it was a pleasure to know you both." Alpha Clause said to Amy and Aster."It was our pleasure, Alpha. Take good care of our Fay." Amy said as she glimpsed at Fay then at him."I will." Alpha Clause said as he glanced at Fay, meeting her eyes. She blushed at the intensity of his stare and looked at Amy."Bye Amy, I will call you." Fay said to her."Bye, you're going to make a great Luna." Amy said and
Alpha Clause and Fay stood up from the couch as Selene and Thomas came to stand in front of them."Hello Alpha Clause, we are delighted to have you as our Fay's mate." Thomas said with a grin on his face as he looked from Fay to Alpha Clause. He stretched out his hand to Alpha Clause. The Alpha let go of Fay's hand to shake her dad's hand."Hello, it is my utmost pleasure to be Fay's mate." He replied with a small smile."Do you plan on taking her with you tonight?" Thomas asked since it was in their tradition for the male to take his mate back to his home at the time they meet."Yes, we will be going right after greeting you." He answered as his gaze went to Fay who was watching their interaction along with S
The car stopped, pulling her from her thoughts and she took her gaze away from the window to catch Alpha Clause staring at her with a look she couldn't identify in his eyes. He let a small smile touch his lips as he continued staring into her eyes. She felt her eyes go to his lips as she noticed how pink and plump they looked. She looked back into his eyes, seeing that he saw her staring at his lips. Fay averted her gaze, licking her own lips as she felt hot from only his stare and smile. His eyes followed the movement of her tongue across her lips as they darkened with heat. As he looked back into her eyes, she realized that they were suddenly only an inch apart. She pulled back and quickly opened the door then climbed out to escape the tension. It must have been the mate bond, pulling them to each other. She wanted to be wi
The door opened to a very beautiful dining room, a long mahogany dining table with chairs and a chandelier hung from the ceiling. Fruits and bottles of drinks were arranged on the dining table. They walked towards the dining table as she looked around the room. He let go of her hand as they reached the table and pulled out the chair beside the head for her to sit. She sat down, saying, "Thanks." He nodded and pulled out his own chair at the head. He sat down and placed his arms on the table as she laced hers on her lap under the table. Fay looked up at him to see him staring at her. She felt herself blush at his penetrating stare and averted her gaze. "So why aren't you the leader of The Five?" "Pardon?" He
"You are very loyal and caring, that makes you a very great Alpha. We all look up to you even though we don't see you every day like the pack members that live here." She said as she pulled the liver and kidney sauce to her front and scooped some up in her spoon. "You are going to be seeing me every day from now on, Fay." He replied as he scooped more food on his spoon as she swallowed her mouthful. "And I love that." "So do I, and I love that I will always have you by my side. You have no idea how long I have waited to find you, my one." He said, still holding his spoonful as her gaze went to him as she gripped her empty spoon. Even as they were eating, she felt the strong pull of the mat
"I do too, but how are we going to survive through today? You seem to be losing control." She said as she gestured to his amber colored eyes."Oh baby, I am still very much in control." He said as he flashed her a lopsided smile that made her shiver delightfully."Then why are your eyes amber, your wolf's eye color?""I am a Lycan, I can be both wolf and man at the same time. The change in my eye color shows how close my wolf is to the surface. He can't wait to mark you, Fay."She let out a breath as she tried to calm herself and her own wolf. But the way he kept talking and the way he kept saying her name kept making her hot all over and wanting to mate with him. "I can also feel my wolf pushing me closer to you."
Fay turned to the two towel racks with towels on them. She moved the towel aside on one then placed the dress and underwear on it so that the dress will cover the inners. Turning to face the jacuzzi and the shower, she wanted to try the jacuzzi, but knew that they had no time. Shower it was then. She thought as she approached it.After Fay had showered, Alpha Clause led her downstairs as he held her hand. They climbed down the winding staircase and finally reached the ground floor. She saw that no one was in the living room section and Alpha Clause noticed it too as he said, "There is no one in the living room, which means that everyone is already at the dining table waiting for breakfast.""Oh no, I hope I didn't keep them waiting too long." Fay said looking worried, but Alpha Clause gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
