Episode 2

Chapter 2

Oliver.

I am looking at the large courtyard of the main house, which houses the kindergarten on one side. My sister Rocio is running around the courtyard with the puppies from the pack who are on recess. She is a beautiful woman, tall, with long black hair. She is an Educator at the kindergarten, responsible for the 3-year-old children. She is the best for that job because she is sweet with each of those children. Lately, I am worried about her, I see her a little sad and downcast.

I go out to the courtyard to keep her company for a while, before she resumes her work and I have to go to the meeting with the council of elders.

"...Are you going to tell me what's going on in that little head? What are you thinking about so much?" I whispered when I reached her side.

She turns towards me, searching for my gaze, thinks for a few seconds, and responds.

"I still haven't figured it out, brother. I think it's been too long without finding my mate; I think it's time to leave the pack to search for him," she says with a sad tone, but I can sense determination in her gaze.

"Hey, calm down," I say, taking her cheeks and looking at her tenderly. "I'm sure he will appear soon, I can sense it."

She smiles at me, takes a long sigh, and is silent for a few moments, then turns and asks.

"And you? How are you? Have you stopped feeling pain?" she says, clearly wanting to change the subject. "I hope that our Goddess guides you to a good Luna. Even if you don't want to admit it, you know you need one to keep going. I hope to have nieces and nephews," she says dreamily, and I hope with anticipation that our Goddess forgets to give me a partner. I want to be alone, or at least that's what I long for at the moment.

"Oh, by the way, my dear brother," she interrupts my thoughts. "My assistant will arrive tomorrow. I will take her to live with me at my house."

"I imagine that if she comes from the Metropolis, she must be a human," I respond. "I don't have a problem with receiving humans. They usually come looking for seasonal jobs, but it bothers me when they are women. They always try to get my attention or the attention of the boys."

"Yes, and I already told you that she comes recommended by my friend Fran. And for your own good, and the good of your balls, I hope you don't scare her away with your unpleasant sense of humor and your antics," she threatens.

"I'm not going to promise something that I probably won't be able to fulfill," I respond with a big wolfish smile.

"Don't even think about it," she says, pointing at me as a threat.

In the council meeting

I feel so tired, my mind is anywhere but at the meeting.

My Beta, Lucas, my dearest friend, my second in command, we grew up together with Manuel. The three of us used to torment the old ladies in town, according to them, we were unruly kids.

He nudges my ribs, trying to get my attention on what the elders are saying.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about so much?" he asks. "You seem absentminded."

"I'm just worried about Rocio, her eyes no longer sparkle like before. She thinks she will never find her mate," I comment in a low voice.

"Friend, I have a feeling that he will arrive soon," he says hopefully.

"I think the same, and I told her yesterday when we talked. She told me that she had made the decision to go out and look for him outside the pack. I don't want her to leave, I need her by my side to lead the pack. Without her... I won't be able to do it," I say sorrowfully.

"Relax, everything will turn out fine," he assures me.
