Chapter Three

Chapter three

Being the Alpha of several packs was never my plan. I wanted a degree in substance abuse counseling and therapy, aiming for a normal life without leading a pack. This changed when rogues attacked our packs, destroying my family. Now, I'm the Alpha of three merged packs due to close territories. Fortunately, with the help of the beta families, I could still attend college and manage pack duties from my office. At twenty-six, I haven't found my mate yet. Elders urge me to choose one, but I refuse. I believe my mate is out there, whether she’s a rogue, omega, or upper class, I'll love her regardless.

Spending the day at the office has been refreshing. I’ve been away with the pack on some alpha duties so being back here finally feels like some normalcy. When my secretary informed me that I have a new client today I was expecting it to be just a normal day. For some reason my wolf Axe has been on edge and very uneasy. I’ve tried questioning him why he is all out of sorts but only get grunts and whimpers in response. I decide to leave it alone and quickly get this paperwork done so I can take my next client before closing down the office for the day.

As much as I dislike it, I still have a pack to run and pack responsibilities to take care of and currently right now we’ve had more than enough rogue sightings that I’m comfortable with. As I finish the last paper and get everything filed accordingly, I let the secretary know she can send the new client up. I’m standing staring out the window when I hear the faint squeak of my office door open. I can sense she is a wolf, but she has no scent. My wolf Axel is going ballistic at the point and I’m starting to wonder if he can sense something that I cant.

I proceed to introduce myself while still looking out the window “Hello I’m Dr. Colton Fenley. May I know your name? What may I help you with?” After a few minutes and I don’t hear a response, I finally decide to turn around and face her. That’s when I freeze noticing she is still frozen at the doorway staring blankly in my direction. That’s when time froze and the words, I’ve been waiting to hear the words I’ve been waiting to say come out of our mouths simultaneously. MATE. She’s, our mate. I now understand why Axel has been so on edge, why I could get a response from him, but why can’t I smell her I know she is a wolf, but where is her scent?

She’s beautiful with her fair skin color, long black hair and beautiful diamond blue eyes, but you can tell she has been dealt a shit hand in life. She’s far too skinny for an average she-wolf her height and you can tell she has a substance abuse issue with the track marks in her arms. Before I could approach her, I notice her shaking her head no while still staring at me and then the words I’ve dreaded to hear slip through the mounds of her perfectly plump lips. Then before I could stop her, she bolts. I try to follow her but she’s fast like extremely fast and without a scent I couldn’t follow her. Defeated, I walk back to my office building, once entering I decided to stop my secretary at her desk.

“Joanna that patient that just ran out do you have her paperwork she filled out” “I sure do boss, but it’s the strangest thing I’m sorry I didn’t catch it sooner, but the patient only listed a first name no last name” Joanna tells me as she’s handing me the recent paperwork she was just about to file. “that’s okay Joanna a first name is better than nothing”. I tell her with a soft smile. I take the paperwork skimming through it while I walk towards my office door. I look down on the front page and right above where it says name I see it in her perfect cursive handing writing; Kieara I’m in aw such a perfect name for such a beautiful mate I think to myself.

“I wonder what her wolf’s voice will sound like” My stupidly arrogant ass wolf finally speaks.

“Where the hell have you been at asshole” I communicate through our link and again all I get it silence.

When I don’t here back from him after a few minutes I decide to close the link and open another to my Beta. “Lenox are you busy right now” I ask him? “Not in particular! Why? What’s up?” he responds back. “I need you to find someone for me her name is Kieara she is one of my new patients but also my mate she ran before I could have a conversation with her” I tell him. “Your mate! Hold the fuck up your mate is an addict” he asks me. “Yes, Lenox she is” I tell him. “Wait how drugs and alcohol don’t have that kind of effect on wolfs” Lenox says. “I’m not entirely sure, but she also had no scent, so my suspicion is she is with a witch” I tell him. “Man, Colton can your life be any more chaotic” he tells me. “You’re telling me man here’s a metal image of her please find whatever you can on her” I tell him with an exasperated sigh. “You got it man” he tells me and then cuts the link. Now all we can do is sit and wait and pray to the moon goddess she is found.
