"Dad hurry I was supposed to be there 30 minutes ago to help set up," I yellerd as I rushed to put on my gold strappy sandals.Today was my gradu day and I was once again gonno be late. I hated being late but when I woke up 20 minutes late I knew I would be. I tried rushing but I still wanted to look decent enough, after all, I was valedictorian and had to give a big speech."Relax we'll be there in 5 minutes." My father Mel said as he stopped in the car and pulled on his seat beat he started the car. I quickly put on my seat belt before pulling down the mirror to see if my makeuo was uo to par.Once that I saw that everything was in place I checked my phone to see multiple texts from my friends asking me where I was. I quickly responded to them that I would be there soon."Dad, I can't believe I'm late for my own graduation," I whined. Today was the most important day of my life and I was gonna be late. If it wasn't for all my friends insisting on going out on the town one last time before high school was over I would have never woken up late."Honey relax." He speed down the street. We were 5 blocks from my school and if they hurried they would make it just in time for the graduate entrance. Shit!" He cursed when the light turned red forcing him to slow down."Dad!" I huffed. He ignored me and continued focusing on the road.He could have made it. I thought now I was going to be at least 5 minutes late, and probably end up interacting ceremony.Soon as the light turned green he hit the gas making me jerk forward. I was about to yell for him to slow down for someone got hurt when I saw a truck headed towards us, seconds later we were hit from the driver's side. Glass shattering everywhere."Dad?" I called out just as the airbags burst."Dad?" He still hadn't responded.I looked over at him and I knew right then and there that he was gone. I let out a sob, I blamed my self if I wasn't rushing him none of this would have happened."Ma'am are you okay?" I was too shocked to respond to the stranger. All I could do was cry, the only family I had was gone. And it was all my fault.======Alpha Ryan"Shit," I said as I walked out of the new Elite pack house.This had been the third packhouses I'd been to in the last month in search of my mate. I was starting to belie I would never find my mate. This had been my fourt year as Alpha of the Red Bloods pack and I wanted nothing more than to finally have my mate beside me where she belonged. Once I made it back safely to my territory I stopped at the local bar which for the last fee week had been my usual hanf out spot after a rough day."What can I get you?" The blonde bartender to give her attention.Moments latee she handed him a glass that was filled with scoth. Its that all?" She winked."Yes, that will be all." I turned around so that I was facing in the opposite direction of her. Clearly making it known that I was not interested."You su-?""I though you'll be here." The bartender was cut off by the sound of my cousin Ellie's voice. Ellie was taller than the average girl and had the same pale blue eyes as my late uncle. She wore a plain t-shirt with black tights and light cardigan sweater over it and black Ugg boots."Thank God," I mumbled as she made her way over to me. She was the daughter of my dad's only brother. She was just a month older than me and since we haf grown up lives we quite close."Well, you guessed right," I smiled and order another scotch from the bartender. She scoffed, obviously hurt that I wasn't playing attention to her."Ryan you really need to slow down. I don't und why you're so stress over all of this, it not like you'll never find your mate." She sat down next to me and order an apple martini from the pissed off bartender."I should have found my mate years ago. Aren't you even the least bit worried?" I asked.Wolfs typically found their mate around the age of 16 or 17. I had surpassed that age by years and yet I still hadn't found my mate."No. I don't want a mate." She shrugged as if that was the most normal thing in the world ."What's wrong with you? How could you not want the person who you're destined to be with you?"Besides Ellie never had I met somene who didn't want to find there mate. "I don't like feeling... vulnerable. I don't like the fact that a person can have that much power over me. I'm my own person and it time I start acting like it." She looked down in shame."Ellie you're not your mom." I place my handa on her shoulder, comforting her."I know, and I will never be." She quietly promised herself."You can still have a mate and not do what she did. You choose your destiny."I wanting Ellie to find her mate was for a selfless reason. I knew that people that never found their mate will always feel incomplete and I didn't want that for her. Not to mention that her mate will always protect her and knowing how impulsive Ellie could be I knee that she would eventually need protection."And I am.""But why not with a mate.""My mom killed herself over her mate, right in front of mex she didn't even think twice about me. She abandoned me. All because of her mate."What she did was wrong and I get that. But Elliex you can't keep living in the past. I'm sure your mom is looking down and she's proud of you of everything that's you've accomplished."Which is nothing. I haven't done anything with my life besides graduate high school." She finished off her drink and then fiinished off the rest mine. "Her dream was to become a painter ya' know." She said referring to her mother. "When she met my father she dropped her dreams like a bad habit an did whatever it was that would please him. She wasn't even readynto have kids she was just 19, but he did so." She shugged."You making it seem like he was a bad person, he loved your mother," I was getting upset at the fact that she was potraying him this way.My uncle was a good guy and a very traditional one a that. He made it now secret that he wanted a stay at home mate but if that wasn't what Ellie's mother wanted I'm sure they would have comen to some sort of compromise."I never said he didn't. He did, he loved her. But she lost herself when she met him that's what happens when you meet your mate."So you think going on this year long vacation will help?"I was referring to the traveling thaf she wanted to do all over the world by herself. It was quiet common for wolves to travel a lot but only when they've been mated. That is why I was hesitant to actualy agree to let her do this. But I trust Ellie and I know that she can take care of herself.She shook her head. "No, Ryan this isn't about me, it's about you. You need stop drinking your problems away." I began laughing, " What's funny?" She asked."I drink my problems away and you run from yours, we're really fucked up, you know. " She laughed."Yeah we are and since we're her." She waved the bartender over and ordered s bottle of 1987 cognac. She helf her glass up, "To sending a big fuck you to our problems."<><>Two hours and many drinks later I called my Beta Tyler and my Gamma Daniel to come pick us up since we had been drinking."Now. Who idea was this?" Tyler asked as he Daniel helped us out the bar."Not mine." Ellie giggles pointing towards me. She was clearly drunk, me on the other hand, was tipsy. Most off, I just didn't trust myself to drive."So I take it you didn't find your mate," Daniel asked."What do you think pup?" I growled making him laugh."Let's get you, crazy kids, home" Tyler muttered as he helps me into the car.LUNA ALEXThe last thing I thought I would be doing today was burying my father. The only real family I had left, and the person who I admired and looked up to the most. Most importantly I didn't think my father's death would be all my fault.I wish I had woken up on time. I wish that I wouldn't have rushed him to drive faster if I hadn't done that he would have seen the car speeding our way. I wish that George Pullman didn't drive drunk. Above all, I wish my father was still alive.But he's not and nothing in this world could change thatHis funeral only consists of a few people considering my dad had almost no living relatives. The attendance list included myself, of course, my Aunt Elizabeth also known as Liz Liz's three children also came and m dad's chef Jack and his daughter Melissa who also worked at the restaurant and a few of my friends from high school also came to show their respects.My father's death had put me in a dark and lonely place. I wasn't interesting of going to P
LUNA ALEXThe next day when I had arrived at the restaurant there was a man in a suit sitting on top of his car. I didn't know much about cars but I knew his was expensive leaving me to believe that he was well off, and when people like him came to your door it wasn't always pleasant."Alex Anderson." I hesitantly nodded. "My name is Willie and I work at The Red Café. I was wondering if I could have a few moments of your time.""What do you want?" I asked uninterestedly as I unlocked the doors to the restaurant."I have an amazing opportunity for you. My boss is looking for a place to extend his-."This wouldn't be the first time that someone has tried to buy the restaurant and I know it wouldn't be the last. I had heard and seen it all. They would throw a big number at you, only to slowly decrease it as time went on. I really didn't need the headache or the drama."Sorry to cut you off but I'm quite busy and I'm not looking into doing any type of business with your boss. Thanks for th
ALPHA RYANIt had been a week and I still hadn't found my mate. I wasn't looking as the witch instructed me to do but there was still no sign of my mate. I decided to wait it out a little while before I continued the search of my mate, till then I would put all my energy and time into improving the restaurant and franchising it and of course the pack."Willie," I called him into my office. We had just opened a couple of hours ago and I was in my office filling out some paperwork and paying the bills."Yes." He came and sat in a chair in front of me. "What can I do for you?""Have you heard from that owner across town yet?""No, not yet. I left her a message and I'm waiting for her to get back to me."I smirked. "The human girls has you scared." It was a question but it came out as a statement."I'm not even sure that she is human, not with an attitude like that."I shook my head. "Send me the address I going to go have a little chat with her.""Okay Alpha, but she's going to be hard to
LUNA ALEXSpending time with Liz and the kids turned out not to be so bad. I was beginning to see some improvement in Liz, but I still remained cautious. This was not the first time that she had made it seem like she was changing, before resorting back to her old ways. We got to see the bears, tigers and the many different types of birds. Afterwards, we took the kids to the restaurant to get some dinner."Okay birthday girl, what will it be?" I asked looking down at her. "This." She smiled before pointing at the picture of the hamburger and fries."Okay." I wrote down her order along with Tom, Jerry and Liz's. I handed the order to Melissa."By the way, a man came by looking for you." She told me after handing her father the order."Who was he?" I grabbed cups and filled them up with lemonade.She shrugged. "Don't know he just says he wanted to talk to you."I groaned. "Please don't tell me it was that guy that was trying to get me to sell this place.""What? You're selling the restau
LUNA ALEXAfter a few minutes of Heather begging me I finally had agreed to talk to her. I unlocked the restaurant doors and we both sat across from each other at a booth."I loved your father." Hearing her say those words made me want to gag. She didn't love him, she couldn't have. How can you love him when you left him and broke his heart? "One day I met this man and I fell in love with him. I was given a choice-."Blah. Blah. Blah. "And you chose him, over me and dad." I finished for her."I did, but I never expected that you would be ripped away from me. Your father did everything in his power to keep you away from me.""Dad wouldn't do something like that," I said getting angry that she would accuse the man that raise me of doing that. "And even if he did, it was probably for a good reason. You're clearly an unfit mother." I knew those words were gonna hurt her, but I didn't care. After everything she put me and my dad, though, she deserves it.She was shocked by what I had said
I had been in a bad mood ever since my encounter with Heather. I decided to skip the breakfast rush and have Jack and Melissa open up for me. I was still really upset that she tried to accuse my dad of keeping her away from me, even if he did she could have fought for me, she could have taken him to court and got visitation, but she didn't and that speaks for itself.I spent my morning cleaning up the house while listening to classic old R&B records. The house hadn't been properly clean since my father's death, everything that he had left lying around was still where he left them. One thing about my dad is, he was a very messy person, so in a weird way having his mess around comforted me, it made me feel as though he was still living here and that he was just on vacation but the day has come and it was time to clean up.Even though I wanted the house to be cleaned I stayed clear of my dad's room because I wasn't ready to go through his things. I wanted some things to stay just as he l
I had just turned eighteen and after two years of still not finding my mate, I decided that I would embark on a worldwide trip to different packs in search of my mate. During this time my father took over the pack. I went to every pack in the United States and to most of the packs overseas besides one, Greenfield Pack. Greenfield Pack was located in England and had been overseas allies for us for a while. The only person accompanying me was Tyler and my guard James. I arrived at their pack house, where there was a party for unmated wolves going on. Lots of packs had these parties and invited other unmated wolves from the different pack to come to see if their mate was present. A lot of times this helped form treaties with other packs, especially for high ranking wolves. James stayed in his room considering he was already mated while Tyler and I mingled in the party. The lights had been dim and there had been dozens of wolves scattered around the room, some talking, other's dancing,
I ended up staying in the parking lot of Mel's Diner for two and a half hours, watching her through the glass window. She was so fucking beautiful, and all mine. My wolf was overly excited about finally meeting his mate, and so was I. It didn't matter that she was human, and a human Luna was something that's never been heard of. If anyone had anything to say about it I wouldn't hesitate to snap their necks.I left the restaurant when I notice that the restaurant was beginning to become empty, afraid of begin caught spying on her. When I had arrived at the pack house it was dark, and many other the wolves were heading to bed."Meet me in my office, now." I mind linked Willie."Yes, Alpha." He responded, and within five minutes he was standing outside of my office."Come in." He walked in, wearing his red and black plaid pajamas."Is everything okay?" He asked nervously. Usually, when I called people to my office this late they were either in trouble, or something bad had happened."What
