Pack ranch

***Luke***

I woke up quite early this morning, went into shower, got dressed and ready to go in minutes. Felt quite eager to start my day and get to work. Went downstairs to have some breakfast, my mum was sitting at the dinning table already with some of my pack members. "Good morning, everyone"

"Good morning, Alpha" a bunch of voices replied.

"We have a busy day today" said my beta Ryan. "Not busier than usual" I replied.

"Well not exactly" he said. "We have our basic chores to do and interview the new admin, bunch of paperwork to sort in the office. We had a girl call yesterday noon and we're meeting her this morning."

"We have Mila for that, she can do the interviews, you know that" I told my beta.

"Well I thought you might want to do it yourself, seeing as that person will be helping to run the business for us. But sure I'll let Mila know that she could get the interview done this morning by herself." said Ryan.

"I will meet the person eventually, just let Mila handle it. I trust her judgement" I got up to get some food and was out the door in a flash to start my day. I needed to go around a ranch, make sure everyone is doing OK, nothing is missing and we have all of our orders for supplies and products in place.

Our beautiful ranch was nested in a valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers around. It was rich, nurtured land and our ranch was blooming.

I went around the stables making sure we have enough food for all our animals. We are raising kettle and horses, which require a lot of food and even more hands on deck. Everyone was in a full swing at their jobs and as I passed everyone were saying their hellos and bowing their heads in acknowledgement of their Alpha.

I jumped into my SUV and went to the living quarters, to check on my pack. We had a huge house in the middle of the ranch on the bank of the river, were everyone resided. My family and my closest pack members were living in a separate house, which had a kitchen and dinning room big enough to fit my whole pack. And that's were everyone mostly ate and spend their time or we would meet all after days work.

I always wanted for my pack to be this close knitted and share everything.

"Good morning, Luke" I hear behind me.

"Hello, Soirse. How you feeling today?" I smile at my pregnant betas wife.

"Oh, you know, morning sickness, but I'm coping" she shruggs.

I was happy to have my pack members find their mates and start families of their own. And I was very overprotective for pregnant females in our pack. I want that for myself one day, I thought.

"Well, mom mentioned ginger might help. I can get someone to get it for you if you need Soirse."

" That's very kind of you Alpha, but unfortunately we have already tried that. I will be fine I promise, just couple more weeks to endure this nausea and I should be alright."

"Let us know if you or any other pregnant ladies need anything and I'll make sure to get it sorted right away. We need to take care of our future pups." I smiled.

"I will" she smiled.

My relationship with my pack, even though I'm their Alpha is like a family. We work together, we take care of each other and sort our problems that arise together as well. That's why they respect me more than anything and there's almost never a need to use my authority. We've build a happy home for our pack and future pups. All that's missing is my other half, I still haven't found her. "My mate, I am still looking for you." My wolf was getting restless as time went on and there was still no sign of our mate. I could sense him and hear his thoughts. I was already 28, which was considered about time for a family and mate in the werewolf world and the pack needed their Luna.

With my rounds done and everything checked it was time for lunch already. Went home to get something to eat and I will have to head up to the office, which was also located in our ranch, just a bit further away from the living quarters and closer to the stables.

Finished my food and went out the door. Time to get into not so pleasant part of our business, accounts, bill and pile of paperwork. Great, I thought to myself. Nonetheless it has to be done.

I stopped in front of our office building, which was partly glass, so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery while at work.

I got out of the car and sniffed the air it smelt sweet like vanilla with cinnamon and my wolf perked up. It was hypnotising and I closed my eyes to inhale it. The sweet smell lead me to a small red car, but there was no one in it. So I turned on my heel and went inside.

"She has to be somewhere inside" I said.

Same delicious smell lingered inside our office building and I went towards it. That's when I saw her. She was a goddess, her dark brown curls were falling to her waist, perfect button nose and plump lips. She raised her emerald eyes and looked up at me "Mate" has slipped my mouth. We've found her.
