I went back to the pack house right after the camp and mom greeted me with a warm hug. "What took you so long?"
"School." I said and mom raised a brow.
"School? Or your mate?" She smirked and I chuckled.
"Both." I said.
Grandpa called me in his office and I knew what he was going to tell me. It would be about the alpha title. He was so eager to pass me the title because e was already old but I wasn't ready yet.
"Dean." Grandpa called when I showed up in his office and I walked towards his table where he was sitting comfortably on a swivel chair.
"Grandpa, you called for me." I said as I went inside and sat on the chair in front of his table.
"You know how I wanted to get down from this throne. I've been an alpha since I was eighteen also and I never enjoyed life that much because of the responsibilities but I am not giving you this title so you will be prisoned. I guess I was too serious as an alpha that forgot to live my life." He said.
Grandpa was always been strict on everything and dad once told me that grandpa was so happy when I was born. He already appointed me as the heir of the throne a few minutes after my birth and as I grew up, I felt so suffocated with their expectations on me and all the things they wanted me to do because I was the next alpha. It was the reason why I decided to go to a human school and escape those shits.
I guess I couldn't run away forever.
"I know you're still chasing your mate and I will give you time to do it." He said making me feel relieved.
"Thank you, grandpa."
"I will give you two weeks." He said and I was thinking if two weeks was enough.
Knowing Ned was stubborn like me but I could see little naïveté from him making me smile. I guess two weeks was enough.
"Two weeks it is."
"Whether you go back here with your mate or not, you will start your training and inherit the title." He said and I nodded. "Did you had interaction with your mate?" He suddenly asked.
"We slept together." I said.
"I guess you won't have a hard time with your mate."
I chuckled. "We didn't do anything like what you're thinking grandpa and he wasn't aware that we sleep together that time. He freaked out when he woke up and accused me as a weirdo and he wanted me to leave him alone."
He nodded his head while rubbing his jaw with his fingers. "Well, he will start dreaming about you and your wolf."
"Will he?"
"Yes. That usually happens when you have a human mate after you have close interaction. Your mate will feel the bond but of course, he's still clueless about it. I wish you good luck son." He smiled and I nodded before I stood up.
"Thank you." I said and turned around.
"I am always proud of you, Dean." He said. "I know you're fit and mature enough to be the next alpha and I always watch your games. You're pretty good at it."
I frowned because grandpa never watch my game. Not after that one game.
I turned around and faced him. "You never watch my game, not after the first and only game that you attended and we lost. After that, I never see you at the bleachers. Only mom and dad and other pack members."
I felt like a failure when we lost that match that grandpa decided to watch. I wanted to make him proud of me also but I guess I failed that time.
Grandpa smiled making me wonder. "I always have your mother or father film your games for me to watch." He said. "I'm so sorry if I couldn't watch all of your games like your parents."
I didn't know what to say. Knowing that grandpa watched my games even if it was just in a film made me so happy because it was one of my dreams before that I had given up because I thought it would never come true.
"Thank you, grandpa." I said and he smiled at me.
"Now go and start chasing your mate. You only have two weeks."

I followed Ned to his house and it was a coincidence that I met his mother there so I got to step inside their house and I was glad my mate had a beautiful family.
The next morning, I waited for Ned at the locker area while talking to my friends and then look around but I saw Hilda instead and she was walking towards us with a huge smile on her face.
I honestly forgot about her existence after camping because all I could think was only my mate and she kept on approaching me in the wrong moment and time.
She was getting cocky just because I paid so much attention to her compared of the rest of the girls that I've been intimate with which was way out of our relationship description.
"Hey." She greeted to us and my friend greeted her back except me.
"Hey, Dean." She grabbed my arm and wrapped her arms around it.
"Hey." I said and I saw Ned walking down to his locker making me pull my arms from Hilda's hold. "Stay." I said to her and I followed Ned to his locker.
"Good morning." I said behind him as he opened his locker and I chuckle when he jumped in surprise and he turned to glare at me.
"You again?"
Oh Goddess, he look so hot when he's pissed and annoyed. Valir was itching to take him right there and then.
"Me again." I said and I heard him groaned lowly as he turned around and hastily grabbed his things from the locker.
So f*****g cute!
"What do you really want?" He asked and I couldn't help but smile.
"I want to see you." I said and he frowned.
He turned to me. "You know you're weird and I don't want to get involved with weird people like you." He said and I watched him walked away while smiling.
So cute. Valir said.
"I know."
