Chapter 4

Allistar POV

It's been a few months since my 18th birthday and I still haven't been able to find my mate so at this point I'm thinking she isn't in my pack. Even if she wasn't 18 yet I would still be able to sense her even if she wouldn't be able to and I have made sure to come in contact with all the females of my pack. I have decided to just wait for her, the Moon Goddess made us for eachother so I am bound to meet her when the time is right. Right now I am walking to the Alpha's office after being called in for him to discuss some ideas pertaining training and a possible alliance with another pack that may need our help with training of their own.

Once I get to the door of his office I knock twice and wait for him to give me permission to enter. I hear a quiet 'come in' from the other side so I walk in a lightly close the door behind me.

"Alpha, you called."

"Yes, thank you for coming in Allistar. We recently signed an alliance with the Rising Ash pack and they have requested help in training their warriors. They have been having consistent rogue attacks these last couple months and have lost their Top Warrior along with some of their best warriors and due to this loss they are starting to really struggle keeping up with the rogues. I think it would be a good idea to send you and Dimitri to that pack to help get them back into their training and appoint a new Top Warrior." As the Alpha is telling me this plan all I can think about is that I might find my mate in that pack and that maybe this is what fate has set for me to meet her.

"Of course Alpha. When would we leave and how long will we be staying there?" I say barely keeping the excitement out of my voice. I almost feel giddy that I might meet my mate soon.

"You will both be leaving tomorrow at 8am. It's a 5 hour drive so it gives you time to set up your rooms and get some rest before starting training the next day. You will be staying anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks depending on how much help they need." He says barely even looking at me. This is pretty normal considering we are the strongest pack in the country so we often get requests to send warriors over to train others.

"Thank you, Alpha. If there's nothing else I'll be ehading to my room to start packing for the trip." I say while slightly bowing showing my neck in respect.

"There's nothing else I need of you right now. I'll see you tomorrow before you depart."

I turn to leave and right as I open the door to leave his office he says something that makes me stop for a second.

"I hope you find your mate, you deserve one." he says with a small smile resting on his lips.

I give a quick nod and walk to my room to start packing. The Alpha has been almost like a second father to me due to my friendship with his son and becasue he knows how my parents are towards me so he always tries to be there for me when it's needed. So him saying he hopes I find my mate makes me feel like a kid that's just been handed a lollipop and I can't even think about wiping the huge grin off my face.

Next day*********

Walking up to the front of the packhouse with my bags all packed, I tossed them in the back of the jeep we are taking to the Rising Ash pack. I'm a few minutes early so I'm just leaning against the jeep waiting patiently for Dimitri to say goodbye to his mate. Watching them kiss and hug makes me feel a ting of jealousy, but I know I will find my mate and we will be just as gross with eachother. I want to be so in love that our love makes others uncomfortable. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice Dimitri walking over to the Jeep so when he spoke it startled me a bit.

"What's with the huge smile on your face? You look ridiculous" Dimitri says with a slight chuckle making me give him an annoyed look for making me jump.

"Whatever. I'm just excited hoping I find my mate when we get to this pack. I've been waiting my whole life for her and I'm not sure how much longer I can wait to meet her." by the time I finished speaking the huge smile was back on my face.

"I feel you man, I can't imagine life without Crystal. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can't wait til you find your mate so I won't be the only one all sappy." he finished saying with a slight chuckle. I can see the love and adoration in his eyes when he speaks of Crystal and it makes me so happy for him.

"Alright enough about the mate thing, lets hop in and head to the pack. It's a long drive and I want to get it over with. Being stuck in a car with you for 5 hours is bad enough, lets not make it worse." I said teasing him to lighten the mood. I can tell he's sad to leave his mate for a few weeks.

Once we were both piled into the Jeep we headed off to the pack that we would be staying at for the next few weeks. I am just hoping this Alpha works with us on the training instead of fighting us on everything we have planned out. I've heard rumors that this Alpha is a selfish prick and refuses suggestions from others because he thinks it questions his authority, I hope the rumors are wrong or this is gonna be a long mission.
