Episode 2

"Wake up! Come on, Roman, we have a lot of work to do today" I wake up to the yells of Theo, my secretary and childhood friend, invading my room as he does every morning.

"Good morning to you too, Theo. If you were patrolling the borders last night, you wouldn't be in such a good mood at this hour."

"You're always in a bad mood, Roman! If you had a mate you'd wake up happier, if you know what I mean" And there was the sly smile on Theo's face, he's a real libertine.

"It's not my fault if the Moon Goddess forgot to give me that gift, so go complain to her."

"Your mate will show up, the Moon Goddess doesn't forget anyone, besides we're still young."

"Young, Theo? I'm 32 years old and you're 28, in what world are we young? All the wolves in our pack at our age are already mated to their fated ones, usually by the age of 25 at the latest for a wolf to find his mate."

"Look on the bright side, humanly it seems like we're at most 25 years old, and it's not just the two of us, did you forget about Antony?" he says, looking at himself in the mirror and fixing his hair.

"Theo, you know that if I reach 35 without a mate to give me an heir I lose my Alpha position, many of the neighboring packs already judge me as weak for that, I'm the only Alpha who doesn't have a mate, you know how much a mated wolf is stronger than an unmated wolf and when it comes to an Alpha the power is even greater."

"I know Roman, but I don't have a mate either, even though I don't have the weight of an Alpha on my back, I also miss having one, but that doesn't stop me from having fun" He gave that smile of someone who's always ready to go.

"I don't know the last time I was with a woman, you know that as Alpha I can't be with just any woman, she-wolves also prefer to mate only with their destined mates" The werewolves take pride in being their woman's first man, although it is not a rule, most she-wolves save themselves for their destined mate, this makes the bond stronger making both more powerful as well.

"It's not quite like that, they have to get married virgins, it doesn't mean they can't have fun, besides there are the human women you've always enjoyed having fun with."

"You know we have to be careful not to get a human pregnant." We live mixed in the world with humans but they don't know about our existence and that's how we intend to keep it, centuries ago there was a human hunt for werewolves, a war that lasted for years but the Moon Goddess saved us.

"I know, but condoms exist for a reason."

"Theo, you're hopeless but you're right I need to have some fun, let's go to the club on Saturday night. Now let's have coffee, I have a family and a pack to put in order, are my brothers up yet?"

"Mia was in the kitchen and Antony must still be sleeping."

It's me and my two siblings, just like my father was the Alpha after his death I inherited the position I was raised to be, my brother Antony is my Beta and my sister Mia is our little girl. Our mother died in childbirth giving birth to Mia, so our little girl was raised by me and Antony, as our father died shortly after our mother's death.

"Good morning, princess!" I go to Mia and kiss her head which displays a mane of light brown hair just like our mother's that goes down to her waist she smiles at me with her beautiful bright green eyes.

"Good morning, brother! I was anxiously waiting for you to have coffee." By Mia's mischievous smile I already know she's going to ask for something.

"Why so anxious?"

"Lucca asked me to go to the prom with him, you'll let me, right brother?"

"No, we won't let you!" Antony replies angrily walking into the kitchen, if I'm protective of Mia, Antony is three times worse.

"Antony, I wasn't asking you, I was asking Roman, he's the oldest."

"Roman won't let you either, you're a child, you can't go around with those human boys" I wouldn't let her either, I don't like my sister being such good friends with a human.

"I'm 16 years old, Antony, I'm not a child anymore, in a year I'll meet my wolf and I can mate" We all meet our wolf at 18, it happens that there are some who transform a little earlier or a little later as the weaker wolves, after the first transformation it is possible to identify your destined mate if you find him.

"Roman are you hearing this? Are you hearing our little princess talking about mating? May the Moon Goddess help me because I can't handle this."

"Trying to play the prude now Antony? You're the one who's always got she-wolves all over you. I'm not blind and I know it's not a prayer to the Moon Goddess that you're living it up doing with Karen." Says a furious Mia, I'm wondering when she grew up that I didn't see.

"Still involved with Karen, Antony? You know that girl is worthless" Says Theo, he can't stand Karen, and keeps saying that Antony is going to get into trouble because of the girl, we know she's really not the best person in the pack.

"It's no big deal, I'm still waiting for my destined mate while she doesn't show up..." He doesn't complete the sentence and he doesn't need to because we understand perfectly well what he meant.

"You should behave, Antony, you know you're my Beta and we have to set an example, you're not a kid anymore, you're a 30-year-old man and you know your obligations very well. As for you Mia, you're not going to the prom alone with the human, if any of the pack wolves go to the prom with you, I'll let you, take it or leave it."

I ended the discussion and went to the office as I had a lot to sort out.
