Chapter 2 Reid

Reid's POV

I groan as I roll over and turn my alarm clock off. I run my hands down my face and remember what today is. Well, At least I don't have training today, I think as I roll out of bed. I walk into the bathroom half asleep with my eyes barely open.

As I start to pee I feel my piss splashing everywhere, and all over me. 

"What the fuck!" I yell as my eyes finally open and focus as I desperately try to figure out what the hell is going on.

To my horror I see my toilet has been Saran wrapped, and I can't stop peeing, so it's going everywhere and all over me! 

"Maddox!" I roared.

"I'm going to kill that fucking kid!" I said angrily.

I finally stopped peeing and raced out of the bathroom. I throw my bedroom door open and hear my brother running down the stairs laughing.

"Get back here, you asshole!" I yelled as I raced down the stairs after him.

"Happy birthday!" He yells as he reaches the bottom.

As I get downstairs I find the little shit cowering behind our father.

"Father, he's going to kill me!" Maddox said, laughing.

My father raised an eyebrow at me as he eyed me up and down.

"Do I even want to know what happened to you?" My father asked.

"Saran wrap!" Was all I said, looking down at myself... I have piss all over my boxers and legs.

I hear my father laugh and I look up, glaring at him. 

"Really!... You too?"

"You smell like piss, you should go shower." My sister said as she walked past me.

"Oh, and Happy Birthday!" She said before disappearing into the kitchen.

"Fucking great!" I mumbled as I held my hands in the air, out to my sides.  

I groan as I turn around and storm back up the stairs.

"I feel so loved!... So very flipping loved!" I hollered as I stomped up the stairs.

"I love you, son!" My father hollers.

"Yeah right!" I yell back.

Not how I thought I'd start my birthday! I thought as I stepped into the shower. He's cleaning up that fucking mess, not me!

"So, do you think you'll find your mate today?" My aunt asked, and I raised my head and looked across the table at Abigail while shaking my head.

"Probably not," I said after swallowing my food. 

"Not with the luck everyone around here seems to have!"

"I think you'll find your mate today. There's going to be so many people here for your party." My sister said.

"Yeah, there's going to be several different packs here today. One of them has to be your mate." My brother said.

"I hope all your friends aren't coming?" I said before taking another bite.

My brother's friends are okay, all except one specific person who I can't stand at all!

Alex… He's a fucking hybrid. A werewolf, vampire hybrid. I hate hybrids with a passion. Ever since one killed my best friend, Anthony, 4 years ago, I hate them with a passion.

Anthony was visiting another pack when he was attacked and killed by a hybrid. I wasn't able to save him since I wasn't there. I always hated myself for not going with him that day. He was only 16! We grew up together from diapers. He was a tiny omega that wouldn't hurt a fly. He was one of the sweetest people I knew. 

I spent 3 months straight searching for the hybrid that did this to him until my father came and dragged me home. I was devastated after that. I hated myself for not going with him.

I still can't believe he's gone. He didn't deserve to die like that. The hybrid drained him just enough to keep him alive, then tore him apart. He died a slow painful death, and for that, I will forever hate hybrids. The whole thing was caught on a surveillance video, I have the bastard's face etched in my memory. 

Alex knows I hate him, yet he still fucks with me and flirts with me. I feel my skin crawl just thinking of it. Even if I wasn't saving myself for my mate, I can't believe that fucking hybrid thinks he would possibly stand a chance with me.

"Dad said I could invite my friends, so yes they are coming," Maddox says with a mouthful. Giving me a look, letting me know the person I don't like will be there. 

I groan and shove another bite into my mouth. Just fucking great!

"I'm very proud of you son." I hear my father say and I raise my head and look in his direction.

"You've worked really hard the past few years to become the next Alpha. Even though it wasn't easy, you never once complained. I know I pushed you hard but look at you now. You've grown up into a fine young man." He said, smiling at me. "You're going to be a great Alpha."

"Thank you, Father... I had a great trainer!" I said, smiling and he chuckled before taking another bite. 

"I'm so glad we're finally going to be able to relax now." My dad said, looking at my father lovingly.

"I can't wait to show you the world, my love." My father said, looking at my dad with so much love in his eyes as he reached up and caressed his cheek. My dad's smile grew as he leaned into my father's hand.

I know my dad's excited. They plan on traveling. My father wants to show my dad the world, literally. He wants to show him all the places he's never seen, which is a lot since my dad had a very rough life before he met my father. 

I don't know all the details, but I know my Dad was practically a prisoner until he was 21 years old and he finally escaped. I know they hurt him and starved him, and he was almost dead when my father found him floating down the river.

I've never seen two people more in love than they are. You can see it in the way they look at each other. You can almost feel the love they have for each other rolling off of them. I've never seen them fight. Sure, they've had little arguments here and there, but I've never seen them fight.

I want what they have. I hope one day soon I find my mate, and we love each other just as strongly as my parents love each other.

I think about my mate a lot lately. I often wonder what my mate will look like. Will my mate be a male or female? What will their voice sound like? Will they be an Omega like my dad? I'm not going to lie, but I hope my mate is an Omega. I've never seen an Omega's nest before, I think it would be so amazing to experience. 

But it doesn't matter what they are, I will love my mate no matter what they are. A mate is a gift from the Moon Goddess, the other half of your soul. Whatever they are, they'll be perfect. I just hope I find my mate sooner than later.

I'm brought out of my thoughts as my cousin comes sliding to a stop and plants himself in the chair next to me.

"Hurry up and finish eating!" This idiot said as he reached into my plate and snatched a piece of bacon. I glared at him as he chewed on my piece of bacon with a smile on his face. 

"Why? We don't have training today." I said, then tried to stab his hand with my fork as he tried to grab a piece of sausage. This little shit laughs at me and nudges my shoulder. 

"Because I need to find a new outfit for tonight, and so do you! So hurry up so we can run into town." He said, then asked me to pass him a napkin. And without thinking I turned my head to grab it and this little shit reached into my plate and grabbed a piece of sausage. My head snaps in his direction and he flashes a smile at me as he chews on my sausage.

"What? You're taking too long, so I thought I'd help you out!" I growled at him as I pulled my plate further away from the food thief. 

"If you want to use your legs to walk there, I suggest keeping your hands out of my plate!" I said, and my father chuckled.
