Alpha Arnold McLean
Seeing my fated mate in the human realm was never what I dreamt of, but I guess that was the goddess of the moon trying to comfort me.
Besides, the moon goddess did a great job by joining me with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my lifetime.
.................
After Ted's explanation that day, I couldn't concentrate or do anything properly, because I felt like I wasn't good enough. I felt used and betrayed by everyone including the moon goddess.
The next thought that came to my mind was quitting my Alpha position, but, how will I tell my father and his fathers that I threw away the reason they worked hard over the centuries and millenniums because of a woman?
Besides, Alpha Colin Gates will laugh at me and take my position without hesitation.
I isolated myself for days without eating, sleeping or bathing, thinking what I should do to heal my heart.
After about three days of maltreating myself, I heard a knock on my door.
"Who?" I growled angrily.
"Ted." Came his voice from outside. "I know you don't want anyone to disturb you, but you can't continue like this Alpha."
"You already know I don't want to be disturbed. Please leave." I said the last words quietly.
"Alpha..."
I'm fine, you may leave now." I said, without giving him a chance to say anything.
"You're not Alpha.. instead of locking yourself up and allowing your rivals win, why don't you take a break, like give yourself a vacation. I'm sure when you return, you will be better." He suggested.
"Thanks Ted. I'll think about it."
With that I started preparing for a trip to Canada the place I love most in this world.
'I'm about leaving for the trip you suggested Ted. See me immediately.' I ordered through the mind link.
Barely thirty seconds after calling him, Ted was at the door knocking, like he was still hanging around, waiting for my call and I opened the door for him.
"I'm going to Canada to take a one week break as you suggested." I started, as soon as he entered. "Only you are permitted to know about this." I warned him and he nodded.
"Yes Alpha." He replied.
"Take care of everything, and mind link me if anything comes up. Don't call me no matter what happens."
"Yes Alpha."
"Thanks Ted, I shall reward you handsomely when I return." I promised him.
"Take care of yourself Alpha." He replied and left.
I left the pack at dusk, without taking any clothes or car, so no one would suspect I had such plans in mind.
I intended making my trip as secretive as possible, so instead of going directly to the airport, I went to the train station and boarded a flight from another city.
I booked a suite at one of the most exquisite hotels in the capital city on my way to the airport.
I got to the hotel I previously booked before coming down here at night and went straight to my room, completely exhausted from stress.
I tried to catch sleep, but it wasn't forthcoming and I tossed and turned on the bed till dusk.
I decided to take a stroll around the beautiful streets of Ottawa that morning.
While I was outside, the beautiful smell of citrus and peaches ran through my nostrils and before I could get hold of it, it was already gone.
"Mate..." Black howled.
I looked around, but saw no one around, except occasional cars or power bikes, passing by and I felt frustrated.
I walked around for several hours without perceiving anything anymore and went back inside, feeling frustrated.
I don't need any woman in my life, at least not now. I really need to get my sh!ts together first.
'We need our mate, everyone needs their mate.' Black argued.
I was in no mood for arguing with Black or anyone, so I ignored him and went to the bathroom. After bathing, I decided to stroll out to look for something to eat.
I took a cab, as soon as I left the hotel room to a restaurant I saw online.
There was a gym house close to the restaurant, I decided to do a little work out before eating, even though the sun was still up.
As soon as I entered the gym house, the same fragrance I perceived a while ago filled the air and Black started jumping for joy in my head.
'Let's find our mate.' He howled.
I wanted to ignore him, but I guess the mate magnet was stronger than me as I saw myself walking towards where the smell was coming from till I got to where the most beautiful woman I've seen in my life stood fixed, probably waiting for me.
She has light brown flowing hair, gray eyes, round full face, tainted nose and a wonderful figure eight shape. Her full lips were calling me to eat them up.
She looked damn hot on her lemon green polo shirt with a pair of black jean trouser she was putting on.
I guess she was shy after seeing me, because she ran away.
I couldn't get my eyes off her, as she ran.
Thank the heavens I didn't marry Tanya Gates. How would I have met such a wonderful significant other?
I followed her smell till she got to a small rickety apartment in a ghetto-like area I never thought existed in this part of the world.
She didn't notice I was following her, so it confirmed that she's a human.
While she entered her house, I stayed close to monitor her movement to know if there was any man in her life.
After a while her phone started ringing and she called a name 'Aya ', she asked the Aya to cover up for her and soon she was out of the house again.
I waited for her till it was almost midnight for her to close from her second job and she wanted to avoid me, but thanks to her friend and her friend's boyfriend, I was able to take her out.
My mate is in the human realm and not just that... She's working herself to death? I won't allow it.
After her friends left, she started looking for every means to run from me, but her smell always sold her off.
The last time she tried to run after lying she wanted to use the toilet, I caught her outside and sealed our meeting with a passionate kiss.
She was already feeling tipsy and so was I. I carried her to my car and drove off to the hotel.
I never intended to do anything with her just yet, or without her consent, so I placed her on the bed with the intention of making a demarcation with pillows, but it didn't work as she pulled me to her and grabbed my lips with hers.
"Why can't I reject you stranger?" She moaned inside my mouth.
She started unbuttoning my shirt gradually, while I peeled off her pale blue top.
I unstrapped her bra and cupped her breast with my hands. It felt warm and cozy.
'This is home.' Black grumbled in my head.
She tore my white singlet without stress and I wondered how she got the strength. She took her time to romance my chest, feeling my body.
I couldn't wait to explore her.
Her hands moved straight to my jean zipper and I pulled off her skirt.
While she was still struggling with my jean zipper, when her phone started ringing.
'Who the hell is that?' I almost grumbled out.
She pushed me off her and scurried to her bag.
After what seem like forever, she brought out her phone, but it already stopped ringing.
"Who is it?" I asked possessively.
She was about to say something when it started ringing again and she picked up.
"Jake!" She exclaimed. "What are you calling me at this time of the night for? Is something wrong with Aya?"
She looked agitated and I enhanced my hearing ability.
"Did you get home safely?" Came a male voice from the other side of the phone.
She wanted to reply, but he kept talking.
"Are you still there with that man? It's risky out there, you have to be careful. Don't let that man deceive you, evil people are everywhere, wolves in sheep clothing."
Black grumbled angrily at that stupid statement.
How dare he? How dare that incapable man compare me and my kind with mere sheep?
If he was here, I would have detached his head from his body.
"Look, Jake, stop caring about me, I'm your girlfriend's best friend, and nothing can work between us." She warned sternly and I smiled.
Wait... What? Jake is lusting after my mate? His girlfriend's best friend?
'Humans!' I grumbled in my head.
'I'm very sure Andrew and Tanya are humans.' Black retorted sarcastically.
Whatever! I'm going to feed Jake's groins to the dogs.
"I want to go home." Was the next thing I heard.
I raised my head to see my mate standing in front of me all dressed.
"What?!!"
I will skin Jake alive! I swear!
MildredI lost myself in the arms of a stranger, kissing and removing his clothes thoughtlessly like an idiot.I was only distracted by Jake's call.In as much as I was mad at Jade, for calling me at that time of the night in spite of all my warnings, I was grateful to him for distracting me from the strange man.After reminding him who he is and will ever be, I ended the call and threw my clothes on."I want to go." I said to the stranger who called himself Arnold McLean.He jerked in surprise. I guessed he was lost in thoughts for a moment, but what do I care?"It's late." He finally voiced out.I know, but I have to go, besides who is he to tell me what to do? He's a freaking stranger."I can't allow you leave here at this time of the night." He said possessively."Why?" I furrowed my brows."Just because...""Just because? Just because of what?" I fumed."Because you are my mate!" He grumbled and I scoffed."Your what?" I laughed hard.How could he say we are mates? What does he e
Mildred's POVI tossed and turned sleepily on the bed, trying to touch the person I spent the night with, but the bed was empty.I became agitated when I looked around and didn't see his clothes on the ground they were lying last night. I quickly rushed to the bathroom, but he wasn't there.I thought as much, Mildred, you're just a fool.I sat down and placed my two hands on my face, allowing tears to flow freely down my face.Where could he be, where has he gone to? What came over me last night, why did I give in to a total stranger?So many questions were running through my mind, and a call on my phone brought me back.I rushed to get the phone, hoping he was the one calling to say he was sorry for leaving.I picked up my phone to see that it was already past eight-forty and it was my boss from the magazine company that was calling.Oh my God!First of all, I met and slept with a total stranger, the same day I met him. Secondly, I drank to stupor for the first time in my life. Third
Mildred's POVI walked out on him, hoping and praying that he'd follow me, but to my disappointment he stayed back watching me leave. I could feel how hurting my words were to him.I tried to forget about it and move on, but I kept seeing his pleading face. I went home, prepared and was on my way to my job at the gym when I saw someone standing at the front of my door.Mr. Martin!"Go.. goo.. good morning sir." I stuttered, trying my best not to show fear for the person standing in front of me.It was my boss from the newspaper company. He looked like he came for war and was ready to detach my head from my body."I.." I swallowed hard. "I woke up sick, and decided to go and get drugs. I didn't go with my phone, I was so weak that I forgot it, but I think I'm better now." I explained, but he was looking at me all the while like he lost his hearing abilities.The truth is, Mr. Martin had been making advances at me, doing everything within his reach to get me in his bed, but I kept turni
Alpha Arnold McLeanI stood fixed watching my mate walk out on me and I couldn't do anything about it. I wanted to follow her, but I had to respect her wish and stay back.I felt hurt, and regretted what I said about being an alpha and different from humans.I went to the bathroom to take a shower before going to get something to eat at a restaurant close to the hotel, as the hotel didn't have what I wanted.I decided to call my mate, because I was already missing her, but her phone rang once and ended itself, after which it stopped ringing.I didn't know why, but I was feeling uneasy, so I quickly rushed to her house, but she wasn't there and the atmosphere felt tensed, even though I met no one there, I was still feeling uneasy.I went to her place of work, but she wasn't there either, and I heard her boss complaining that her number wasn't going through, that it was unusual of her not to be there at that moment.I was about to leave there when two police officers came and I felt my
Alpha ArnoldAt first, I felt like I had lost all my bearing. Usually, I would be composed, I hardly lost my composure ever and in the past hundred years that I have lived, I had never lost my composure, at least not this terribly.But now, I had lost my composure too many times in recent times. The first being when I was told that if I didn't find a mate quickly enough, I would become a wild wolf. Then finding Andrew messing with my supposed mate, my own beta, and now. Now! So many things had happened much recently and to think that I would find the mate of my dreams and she would be this way. I couldn't bear her words. What did she mean by that? She was not going to come just to see how I would fare without her? Just to deliberately break my heart? How? Couldn't she feel the bond between us as mates? Then why was she doing this? Her heart was breaking, but her face looked firm like she had definitely made a decision that she was not going to go back on."Besides, I have to look aft
MildredI wanted to go with him, I was drawn inexplicably to the idea, but I was bent on fighting whatever it was that made me want to go with him regardless.Was I supposed to up and leave with him? Wasting the twenty two years that I had built on my own and with my own strength, I wasn't so stupid, I decided.It didn't seems like he was lying, heck, he didn't seem like he was a person who would bring himself down to the degrading act of lying, he looked too dignified to do it.There was a sense of stiffness around him, a commanding sense about him, though he never used whatever persuasion techniques or command to compel me to do his wishes, I could tell that he could but was only choosing not to.A wayward part of me wished that he had tried everything he could to take me with him, it would be hard to resist him then, even now as I walked away from the hotel I had just gotten out from, I knew that if I wasn't decisive about where I was going right now, I would return to him.So, I h
Arnold I heard Mildred whisper, "I hope you come back soon". I mean, I am a werewolf my hearing is very sharp. I made myself walk away from her without another word, but I felt like going back to gather her into my arms. My wolf was trying to claw himself out of my body, but I succeeded in silencing him. I had to leave and go back to the pack, I cannot leave the pack for long. I decided to set up some security measures for my Mildred. I do not want to leave her defenseless against Jake and Aya. I woke up early the next day and checked out of the hotel. I decided to go to Mildred's house just to see her one more time before leaving. I called a cab and was on my way to her place in a few minutes. When I got there, I asked the cab driver to wait for me since I would not be staying long. I went up to her front door and immediately smelled Jake's scent, I saw red immediately. I was concerned about Mildred so I knocked on her door with an air of urgency. "What do you want?", Mildred de
MildredWaking up early this morning, I instinctively felt different. I felt kind of weird and I started to wonder why. I soon realized it was because of Arnold's absence, gosh! When did I meet him that he already means so much to me?I sighed deeply and I rolled out of bed deciding to get on with my day. I went into the bedroom and took my time with my bath, I loved the feeling of the warm water on my skin. Usually, I get a quick bath and called it a day, but whenever I had some time, I pampered myself."Ah, that was a relaxing bath. I should do that more often".I stood at the door of my wardrobe trying to choose my outfit for the day, I finally settled on a nice pair of jeans and a pink top with a flower pattern. I settled on a pair of pink sandals and satisfied with my look, I went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Normally, I just eat fruit or granola for breakfast because of my jobs, but today I woke up so early that I still had an hour to spare. I fried up some bacon and eggs ad
