Episode 2
Sitting in his office was my father and the Alpha of the Crimson Claw Pack.
I had a feeling that whatever he was about to say would only make me more upset.
Gerald
Listen Grey, I know you don’t want me throwing this mating party. But, I’m doing this for you. You’ll be stronger when your whole and have a mate beside you. And even if you don’t find your true mate at the party, I have arranged three potentials for you!
Grey
Are you saying there are three girls interested in mating with me Dad?
Gerald
Well.....their fathers owe me a favor so I’ve cashed it in. In a week, you will have the entire wolf coalition here and every single female wolf wanting to mate with you.
Grey
No one wants to mate with me dad! Can’t you see that? I mean come on, you even have to use the favor other Alphas owe you to arrange my marriage.
Gerald
Don’t worry son. A lot of female wolves your age never wants to mate at first! At the party, just be yourself and you will find someone.
I stormed out of my dad’s office furiously! I know I’m not acting like the next Alpha of the Crimson Claw Pack, but I can’t help it. I don’t want next week to come!
As I headed towards my room, I ran into the arms of the one woman that always understands me.
Helen
There there my boy! Everything will be okay. Grey, just give it a chance. You might be surprised and actually enjoy yourself at the party.
Grey
Sure Mom, whatever you say.
I ran to my room and shut the door behind me.
The view from my room is amazing! I love living on top of a mountain. I get to have the best of both worlds: being close to nature and still having a great view of the city.
Alex
Hey Grey, the guys and I are heading out tonight. We’re going to go party at the reef! You coming?
Grey
No. Go on ahead without me.
Zac
You sure? It’ll be fun!
Ty
Come out with us. It’ll take your mind off the mating party!
Grey
No, I’m good right here.
Mason
You guys go. I’ll stay here with Grey.
Grey
Go with them Mason. I want to to be alone tonight.
Mason
You know one of us must stay close to you at all times.
Grey
Mason go with them, that’s an order!
Alex
Oh yeah! Let’s party!!!!!!
They finally left me alone in my room. I would have went, but I knew I would ruin the mood.
I remember sneaking out with them to go party at the reef a year ago.
Alex
Grey, your going to love it man! The parties here are lit.
Zac
Relax. There’s nothing to be nervous about.
Mason
Would y’all hurry up?!
Random Girl
OMG!!!!! Look at his face!
Random Guy
Damn he startled me! Yo, his face looks terrible!!!!!!!
Random Girl
Do you think it’s contagious?
Random Guy
Hahahaha, I doubt it!
Random Guy
You can’t be for certain though!
Random Girl
He’s ugly! But his friends are hot!
Partiers
What’s up with his face?
Partiers
I hope he don’t come near me!
Partiers
That’s just sick dude!
Because of my wolf’s senses, I can hear everyone at the party talking about me.
Random Guy
GO HOME LOSER!!!!!!!
Partiers
Yeah! Get out of here!!!!!!!
I wanted to rip that guy’s throat out, but Mason stopped me.
Because of my short temper and the rude people at party, we ended up leaving just as soon as we arrived.
I didn’t want what happened a year ago to happen now. Which is why I told the guys to leave without me.
Besides, I didn’t feel like partying or being around a lot of people tonight.
But even as I tried not to think about it, my mind went from the reef party last year to my mating party that’s happening next week!
Grey
Huh....... is it truly possible that I will find my mate next week?
Shadow
<Yes, I think we will find her!>
Grey
<But Shadow, what if she rejects me at first sight? How embarrassing and heartbreaking that would be!? And if it happens in front of the entire wolf coalition, I’ll be an even bigger laughing stock than I am now!>
Shadow
<That’s true. But we must put ourselves out there first in order to catch our soulmate!>
Grey
<That’s easier said than done Shadow!>
