"Mom. What’s a mate?" Alexia asked as she helped her mom arrange dinner.
"Where did you hear that word baby?" the elder asked surprised.
"Nizzy said her elder sister found a mate. She said that she got a very cool older brother who takes her to parks and buys ice-cream. I want one too" She said puffing her cheeks.
"Mates are not older brothers, little one. Mates are soul mates. The one moon goddess destines you to be together. Your other half." The mother said laughing at her daughters’ meaning of soul mates.
"Like Boyfriend?" she asked as her mother sigh.
"Kind of like that Sweetheart. Only they are chosen for you by Moon Goddess. They will love you and protect you. They will make you their priority and encourage you. Be there for you in all your difficulties" she said as the girl nodded.
"So Owen is my mate," she said excitedly as her mother sigh.
"No sweetheart. He is not your mate. You will only find your mate when your 18." she said as tears filled the younger's eyes.
"B-but he is my boyfriend," she said as she started to cry.
"Yes yes, he is your boyfriend. I made a mistake. Now stop crying before your father comes and scold me" her mother said and sighed to keep her child from crying.
"Now, come on. Time for dinner," she said as she led the little one to the table.
"Where is papa?" Alexia asked looking around with a frown.
"Papa is busy. And it's way past your bed time. Go to sleep. I will wake you up when he comes" her mother said as she nodded.
She ate her food, brushed her teeth, and went to bed excited that tomorrow is Saturday.
Since Alexia and Owen go to different schools, they always spend the whole week holidays hanging out with each other.

"Whoa, what do you think you’re doing?!" Alexia fumed as she glared at Owen and a brunette who was clinging onto him.
"Alexia!" he said his eyes widen in surprise.
"Surprised you see me here?" she asked tapping her feet irritated.
"Of course! You rarely come to my school!" he said as he removed the clinging girl and walked to his girlfriend with a smile.
"Hey girlfriend," he said as he kissed her cheek like always.
"No!" she angrily pushed him away. "You can’t go around girls all clinging and then come to me like that" she huffed.
"Wait, wh-..." he started to say something but she stopped him.
"I don’t want to hear anything," she said as tears filled her eyes.
He started to panic as he saw the love of his life cry.
"Don’t cry, Alexia. I never cheat on you. She is just my cousin." he said as she looked at him surprised and confused.
"What?" she sniffed wiping her tears away.
"She is my cousin and she wanted me to take her to the fair which is ending this week. But I was telling her that I promised I take you" he said putting his hand on her cheek, giving a toothy smile that never fails to make her heart beat fast.
"Ok," she said before turning to the brunette.
"He is mine. Touch him again like that and I will destroy you" she growled making the girl jump in fear while the boy sighs.
"Come on. Time to go, Alexia" he said dragging his hissing girlfriend.

"Ow!" Owen shouted as his girlfriend hissed.
"I told you not to get into unnecessary fights!" Alexia hissed as she wiped his wounded forehead with a disinfectant.
"You saw the way he was staring at you! And then trying to make a move on you while I am sitting right there?! No way am I going to allow that!" he said angrily as she sighed.
She bandaged his head and stood up from his lap as he whined.
"Girlfriend, my head is paining. Kiss it away" he pouted as she rolled her eyes but nevertheless kissed his bandaged forehead.
He smirked at her and wrapped his hands around her waist, colliding his lips to hers. She moaned into his kiss never once feeling tired of his rough lips.
"We should stop. We are in front of the dispensary" Alexia said as she separated from him breathing heavily.
"As if I care," he groaned before once again crashing his lips to her.

"Alexia. Where were you?!" Alpha Damien, her father's voice boomed through the hall as she stopped in her track.
"s**t" she cursed. She was almost successful in sneaking past her parents.
"Hai dad" she turned to her father with a smile. She kissed his cheek and grinned as the latter sighed.
"Where were you, princess?" he asked this time softer.
"I was out with Owen," she said as another growl filled the air.
"I told you to stop hanging around with that human but you never listen! He is bad influence on you! In a year you are going to find your mate!" her mother growled angrily, her eyes bright green indicating that her wolf is out and angry.
"No. He is my mate!" she argued as her mother growled again.
"No, he is not. You are the next Alpha and you very well know that you will be only mated to a stronger wolf and not some weak human!" her mother said making her growl.
"He is not weak! He is my mate and I will never ever leave him" she growled as she took an attack position.
"Both of you calm down!" the father finally shouted angrily.
“Emilia gives her time. Once she finds her mate, she will forget her feelings for him" he said to his wife.
"Yea. In your dreams" his daughter muttered rolling her eyes.
"And Alexia. She is your mother. Are you trying to attack her" he said turning to his daughter raising one eyebrow.
She glared at him as he stood in the same position.
Minutes pass by and she sighed in defeat.
"Fine! Sorry mom" she said as his father smiled in victory.
"That’s my princess. Now go get some sleep. Remember you have training in the morning" he said as she nodded before walking to her room.
'I really hope he is our mate, Sabria' she mind linked her wolf.
'I hope so too' Sabria replied sending a wave of encouragement through our link.
