Jesse
It had been more than a week since my mum died. During those first few days following her death, I went on auto pilot, not thinking about anything in particular.
Throughout the next three days, Alpha Drake would not leave me alone about how awesome it is to find your mate, spewing reason after reason.
It all went in one ear and out the other, because I didn't want to hear what anybody else had to say on the matter. I had built a wall of defense when I promised myself to never accept my mate. After I refused to speak anymore about the sore subject, Alpha Drake finally gave up.
So there I was, at this lame party with some of my buddies. Sure there was alcohol to drink, and hot girls walking around everywhere, but I would've rather been at the gym or running through the forest.
Since all my buddies were dancing with girls, I sat on the couch and drank my beer. My thoughts drifted off to the battle techniques I would be teaching the warriors during the next few training sessions.
Out of nowhere a random girl sat on my lap and started grinding against me. Right away, I took a small whiff of her scent to see if she was a she-wolf. Since she was and her grinding felt fantastic, I decided to grab the back of her neck and pull her face to me for a kiss.
I had never had any interest in spending time with anybody outside my little group of friends, so I guess you could say that was my first kiss. I was without a doubt feeling the effects of the beer, and this she-wolf knew exactly what to do to turn a guy on.
After a few more minutes of making out, she grabbed my hand and pulled me off the couch. I followed her up the stairs and to one of the empty rooms, where she immediately slipped out of her dress, while I started pulling off my own clothing.
Before I knew it, we were both completely naked, and I was sitting on a love seat with the sexy she-wolf straddling my lap again. A second later, I felt her fingers circle around my throbbing erection, before she guided me into her wet core.
As her walls tightened around my shaft, I felt like I was in pure bliss. The next thing I knew, she was kissing me again, while also licking and nibbling on my bottom lip.
Within a few minutes, I had my first orgasm, but it wasn't the only one of the night. That she-wolf rocked my world for two hours straight. It was mind-blowing how great I felt when I left that party.
The entire time we were together, there weren't hardly any words exchanged between us. She never asked for my name, and I saw no point in asking about hers. It was obvious she only wanted one thing, and that was perfectly fine with me.
It was a fantastic few hours, and I planned to keep enjoying that aspect of life. I just couldn't let myself develop feelings for anybody, especially my mate if she did ever show up.
The next morning, I woke up excited to teach our warriors the newest battle techniques. I was quick to get ready for the day, then I ran to the kitchen and ate some breakfast.
It was still early so there weren't many pack members awake yet. However, it didn't take any time for me to spot Luna Kayla drinking a cup of coffee.
She looked at me with a stunned expression appearing on her pretty face when I walked in and started pouring myself some coffee. After a minute of silence, she politely greeted, "Jesse, it is really nice to see up and looking cheerful this morning."
I respectfully bowed to my Luna before responding, "Luna Kayla, I am feeling much better today. My head feels more clear than it has in a while, and I am super excited about showing the warriors some new battle techniques."
"That is wonderful to hear," she remarked while giving my shoulder a little squeeze, then she walked out of the kitchen.
I had always respected Luna Kayla. She had been like a second mum to me, even before either of my parents died. Her son Rex was my best friend and had been since we were toddlers.
When I saw Luna Kayla and Alpha Drake, sometimes it made me wonder... if I did accept my mate, would we be as happy as they are? However, every time that thought popped in my head, I hastily brushed it aside, remembering my mum's pain.
I grabbed a bagel off the counter after I finished my coffee, before I went outside to do a perimeter check before the training session. I shifted into my chocolate wolf and enjoyed the wind blowing through my fur. Since, I was by myself, I made it a point to stay an acceptable distance away from the border.
As I ran through the forest, I couldn't help but to recall the amazing night I had with that sexy she-wolf. If I had known how fabulous it was to have an orgasm, I most definitely would have allowed it to happen sooner. I concluded my run with the thought that I would enjoy the company of she-wolves anytime I got the chance.
The rest of the day went by smooth, and the warriors learned the new battle techniques with ease. We had a lot of extremely strong and loyal warriors, who I fully trusted with my life.
At the end of the training I hollered out in my Beta voice, "Excellent job today, guys! I am impressed with how well you are picking up these new techniques. We will be practicing these the rest of week. Now go have some fun and enjoy the rest of your day!"
They all cheered with delight before scattering in different directions, and there was no stopping the smile that stretched across my face. They were an awesome group of warriors, and I was beyond proud of them.
After that, my days all started running together, keeping to the same routine day in and day out. Daytime consisted of training and helping Alpha Drake handle the pack business. Nighttime consisted of extra work outs at the gym, drinking, and random one night stands.
I had everything I needed. A pack to help protect, and a lot of wonderful, loyal, reliable friends.
Occasionally I would have a sleepless night and start thinking about my parents. Too often, when that happened, I would think about how much my mum suffered from the loss of her mate.
That's when I would pray to the Moon Goddess, begging her to not give me a mate. I would also pray for her to give my fated mate a new mate, since I didn't want her. Those nights were the worst, but I would eventually fall asleep and forget those troubling thoughts by morning.
