Awaited Mate

Growing up was pretty easy for me. I mean I have everything in life, well almost. I don't have a mate. You must have guessed by now what I am. Yes, I'm a werewolf. I was born like this and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being a werewolf. I mean who wouldn't, I have super speed, sense of smell, enhanced hearing, and eyesight. Super everything. When I was growing up I always wondered what it would be like to meet my mate, I don't want to sound like a girl but I can't wait to meet her and shower her with love. Most werewolves shift at the age of 16, and Alphas shift at 14 or 13 but I shifted at 11. My parents say I'm a powerful wolf and my wolf Keaton couldn't wait to be let out and show his power. Many kids get intimidated at the sight of me but I am not a scary dude. In fact, I am a very friendly person, or that is what I would want to call myself. If you want the truth then I suggest you talk to Amar, he's my best friend and my beta. He will make a good beta, he's always protecting me, or that's what he says all the time, but in all honesty, I feel like I'm the one who's always protecting him. I've been doing so since we were kids. When he turned 15 he shifted, early right? It wasn't surprising though because he spent too much time around me and my wolf recognized him as his beta right away and his wolf was forced to come out and meet its alpha. We were happy in such a manner that we went on a vacation. We visited so many places and that was when Amar met his mate and she rejected him. He was so heartbroken, I had to console him and put him back to who he was before all that happened. After that, I was also having doubts about meeting mine. I mean who wouldn't? It's been almost two years now since that incident happened and I'm still worried but I decided to ignore the doubts and fill my head with confidence. I can't back out now after 6 years of waiting. I have to be strong. I am the future Alpha after all. I can't be weak. I can't help but wonder how beautiful she is, the colour of her eyes, her hair. I hope her hair is black, brown, or blonde. I'm also a redhead myself but I hope she's not a redhead. Just imagine two stubborn and temperamental people having to spend the rest of their lives together. I love being a redhead but I don't want a redhead as a mate. We'll fight every day because I'll want to be the Alpha male that I am and she will want to challenge my authority all the time. Not that I want someone who will just agree to everything that I say but redheads tend to get angry very easily and they also hate to be told what to do. My eighteenth birthday is in three months and I just hope in all the girls that always come to celebrate my birthdays with me that my mate is with them. I would be very happy. I'm just tired of waiting. Sometimes I wonder if the Moon Goddess forgot about pairing me with any female. I mean it's been a long time that I usually find myself checking all the possible scenarios. Maybe I should celebrate my birthday somewhere else. I can travel the world again and visit the places I haven't visited, especially those in the United States. I've been to too many places in the UK. I know my mate isn't here so I have to check other countries. I can visit most of the towns or cities there, who knows maybe I'll bump into her. The thought makes me want to book the flight to the United States already but that can take a lot of time. I still have to go to school here and the Alpha training and me being away from home isn't going to do me any good. If I don't find my mate before I finish school then I'll have no choice but to do the around the world tour next year. I wonder if my mate is also eager to meet me like I want to meet her. Is she a Werewolf? A Witch? A Dragon? or a Vampire? Please Moon Goddess let her not be a vampire. I am having a silent prayer. I will love her nonetheless but my pack will have a hard time accepting her. What if she's not a shifter? Will she be able to adapt to the changes in her life? What if she doesn't want to accept me when I tell her about me being a werewolf and her mate. All these questions keep on playing in my head every time I think about my mate. "You know thinking so much is not good for your mental health." I heard my brother Connor say sitting next to me. "In case you've forgotten little brother, I am a werewolf. I don't have to worry about anything health-related." "Mental health has nothing to do with your wolf genes you know. That is beside the point though. You know you think too much. You'll find your mate soon." "That's what you keep telli- wait a minute, who said I was thinking about my mate?" I asked him, surprised. "It seems you're not paying attention to your own life. Aiden, every time you want to think about your mate you always come here. It was pretty easy finding you. I knew I'll find you here. You're so easy to read. All the time when I find you here you always say you were thinking about ways to find her. All the time." "Well, I didn't notice. Anyway, what are you doing here? This is supposed to be a place for me to be at peace." "Don't worry big brother. I just came to call you. Mom said dinner is ready and as far as I know you, you wouldn't miss even a single meal prepared by her." "Damn well you're right. I'll be with you guys shortly. Let me go and get Amar, he's been training for hours now. I'm sure he's hungry like a lion." Message to Readers Hi guys.
