RAPHAEL EMERSON

RAPH'S POV

“Dinner? Why Father? You know I hate this father?, why in goddess mother's name am I traveling around to have dinner? '' I said standing up from the visitor's seat in front of my father's office desk, rubbing my hand on my hair with frustration which is making it look messy, which I hate ... He looked at me with so much disgust and shook his head from where he sits opposite me.... And I know where this conversation is going already... 

“You just took over my seat boy! And you have the right to question me? You are now an Alpha of a pack you have to be responsible... ” He yelled standing up from his seat... 

“How does the dinner need to do with me being responsible, father? Why must I do this?” I questioned and he did not give me a reply, instead he threw a book on the table towards me and I picked it up to check what was there.. 

“What the fuck?? ” I said out loud before realizing it really came out of my mouth in front of my father who hates languages... He gave me a very cold stare... 

“I sent them all a notice and they will have you... But the last on the list is where you will be visiting first... ”

I checked the list on my hand and the last number which is the number 10 is FULL MOON pack ruled by Peter Hudson.. 

“Why the last number? ” I asked, why do I need to jump from number 1 to the last number? 

"They approved our visitation invite first..Enough of the questioning, leave my office now and start packing... " 

“Packing?? I thought I just had to eat dinner and come back to this pack house but no?”

“Yes, you aren't coming back until you complete all the dinners... And you can leave now... ” He said and he gestured his hand to the door... Really? Who the heck talks to his son without looking at him in the face? Is he a robot??? Am I a robot? I find every reason to miss my mother that passed away 10 years ago when I was 12... But 10 years still seems like yesterday and the wounds are still open.... I left his office and I went straight to my room.. 

I slammed my door and I walked back and forth in my room.. My room is so enormous that I can do that for a whole day... I threw the journal in my hand on the and I dug my two hands into my medium cut blonde hair... 

I kept on thinking for a couple of minutes, when I heard a knock on my door.. 

Who is there?" I called out from my bed and the door opened and it was Blake.. He entered with a greenish smile.. I already knew the entire pack would have heard about it… 

"Hey Buddy! As your beta and your best friend I have been ordered to follow you…" He announced as he entered jumping for joy… Really? Why is he dancing? 

I shook my head and I buried my face in my hands... I'm so frustrated right now... I can't even live the life that I want for myself.. I just have to live for a pack and make sure to maintain the reputation of the great pack... I wished I could be born as an omega who has nothing to worry about but to wolf out and see his mate.... 

But, I have to do this for my mother, she is the reason I'm still here because I promised her to be a good Alpha.... I looked up to her portrait in my room and it was then I noticed that Blake is still inside the room sitting on the couch silently because he knows best what is going through my mind.... 

“Hey idiot!!! Won't you pack clothes for your Alpha?” And that's how I just accepted my fate and moved on with it... I've learned all my life that no matter what comes your way you either have to take it in or try your possible best to take it out but not dodging it... I can't take this out, I just need to absorb it and move on... 

“Oh! Alpha of the great pack! Pardon my language sir! With all due respect, f**k you! ” He said jokingly and I stood up to go to the closet laughing at the stupid thing he just said... I threw a book from the table at him and he caught it immediately... 

“I knew you would do that... What type of an Alpha hurt his pack members? ”

“Well I do... Alpha Raph does... ” I said grinning and I brought out my suitcase to pack my clothes but where am I going to be staying? Since I will be gone for ten days.... 

“Did Father tell you where we will be staying? ” I asked Blake, who is happy about going on a trip... 

He said we would be staying over wherever we had dinner and then we would leave for another place the following day... And we will continue that for ten days... 

Not only are we going there to waste their resources but also to inconvenience them? Will my father ever be considerate of others?? Such a selfish person.... My father and my mother are opposite but I hate talking about it... 

I finished packing and I looked at Blake who was on his phone all through doing only what goddess knows what.... 

It's time, what are you doing on your phone? I walked towards him to check his phone and he took it away but before he could take it away I saw what he was looking at... It was his mate...

Blake found his mate immediately; he wolfed out because he was lucky enough to meet her in the pack house.... And since then the almighty Blake had become a fool for love but I don't blame him, wolf bond can turn you to a different person.... I haven't met my mate yet and I didn't make any effort to look for my mate because I don't want to put anybody through this stress but it isn't within my control... I just hope the person I find is strong enough to take the role of Luna and I will make sure to protect her till the end... I will make what my Father couldn't do my priority and so it for too... I hope I don't become a fool doing all that.... 

“To earth to the Alpha... ” he called out, snapping me out of my thoughts and I just smiled and smacked his head... 

“Well, you see I didn't mean to make you jealous but it is for you to tighten your search for your mate, and I hope these ten days don't go in vain... ” He said and I also hope so too and that way my father will believe that I can be responsible for myself and my mate and also my Pack....
