The King's mate

Third person's  POV       "I can feel her! She has shifted again, and I can feel her!!!" Ethan Mitchell looks up from the papers on the desk with a frown. He wishes his mother would stop with this nonsense. Ever since about 18 years ago, his mother started talking about the special she-wolf that has been born, the one that will stop the ever-continuing wars between the packs and that will lead him and his pack to even better greatness because she will be his mate. Mate!!!!! HA!!!! Even if he ever gets a mate, he will reject her. He has no place for weakness. "Did you heard what I said, Ethan?" his mom asks with a bit of irritation in her voice? "Yes, mother, but I do wish you will stop with that nonsense", he answers her. He is also getting irritated now, and he does not want to talk about a so-called special mate. He was strong, stronger than the average Alpha, he was the King of Alphas, and even Alphas have to listen when he talks and obey his command. "Well, you will regret not to want to listen to me about her when you try to get her to submit to you, she has a will of her own, and nobody can command her, not even you!" Ethan starts to laugh. He knows that there is no wolf, special or not, that will not obey him. He is the King of Alphas and the strongest of them all; how can a she-wolf even think of not obeying him.       Ethan's POV       I call my beta Chris and my third in charge, Blake. We have work to do, and we need to start with the training of the new young wolves that just shifted a few days ago. We are a big pack, the biggest pack in the world, and everyone feared and envied us. No one will take us on as we are strong, but there is one that wants to take control of my pack, and I go blind with rage as I think of him. "Slow down, Alpha. You are a little too hard on the new one. He is but a pup still." I hear my Beta trying to get me off the young omega I was training with. "I am sorry I zoomed out again. Is he okay?" I asked, feeling a bit ashamed as I looked at the poor omega covered in blood. "You really need to control your feelings, Boss, or someday you will kill one of the poor omegas," Chris said in a calm voice. He is the only one that will dare to talk to me like that since we were friends since we were babies. His father was my father’s Beta, but he retired the day my father died. I still feel the guilt and pain thinking about my father's death. “Maybe that mate your mother is going on about is not a bad idea at all," he says jokingly. I only growl at him and start walking away. "You are just as full of it as my mother!!" I snatched at him. "I have no mate, and I will never accept a mate. I will rather kill her than be weakened by a mate" Chris shake his head and called the other omegas to take the poor wounded omega to the pack hospital. Well, at least he is a wolf and will heal fast. "Ethan Mitchell, what have you done?!!" I hear my mother yell. "Hahaha'" I hear Chris laugh next to me. "Now you are in trouble," he said, still laughing. "And you, Christopher Brook! What do you find so funny?" I hear his mother’s voice. It is my turn to grin at him. I looked at my mother and said, "It was just a little accident, mum, the omega will be okay" "You need your mate. She will calm you and teach you to control yourself," I sigh. I wish my mother will stop with this mate thing. It is really starting to get on my nerves. "I am going to take a shower, and I will meet up with you in my study in about an hour," I told Chris as I walked away. I get undressed and walk into the hot shower. The water feels good on my skin. As I got out, I see Selena standing there watching me. "Don't you even knock?" I ask her. "Aaahhh, come on, baby, it is not like it will be the first time I saw you naked", she purred. She irritates me, but I am a male, and I have needs. So I use her for my pleasure, and in no way do I think of her as my lover or even someone I cared for. If she should get in trouble, I would not even care. She is just a w***e I use. She is also not the only one. As I walk to her to get what I want, my wolf refuses. He is not in the mood to fool around with a w***e right now. "No!" he growls. I try pushing him back, but he refuses. "You make me sick", Hunter, my wolf, says with a deep growl. "Your mate will be here soon, and you mess around with whores", he growls again. "Don't you start as well with this mate thing Hunter?" I said, trying to push him back again, but he is stubborn today. He takes Selena by her arm and throws her out of my room. "Get lost w***e", he growls at her. "What the hell, Hunter? Stop being such a grump today and stop spoiling my fun" I was fighting my wolf, but he stepped back, and I could feel him grin. I get dressed and walk to my office. No sign of Selena and I am glad. I was afraid Hunter would kill her. I walk into my office, where my beta and third in command was waiting for me.       Obviously, my mother was not the only one feeling this so-called mate of mine, Hunter, is feeling her, and I'm not too fond of the feeling. My heart says I feel her as well, and I know I do, the pull is strong, but I do not want to be dependent on a she-wolf. I never want to love anyone so much that I will die for her or put my family and pack in danger for her. I do not want to be weak or have a weak spot. I know my enemies would love for me to have a weak spot, but no way will happen. My heart tells me different, but my mind is not letting me accept the pull. "She is our mate, the only one that can complete us", Hunter growls, but I refuse to let him get in my head. I got things to take care of, and right now, the last thing I want to worry about is a mate and a wolf I have never even met before.       "So any more news about the rogue attacks on packs lately," I ask Chris, my beta, to get my mind of the she-wolf that is supposed to be my mate. Chris shakes his head. "No Boss, nothing about any other attacks, yet. The smaller and weaker packs are all almost destroyed, and the ones that escaped either joined larger packs or joined us here in the Kingdom."       What if her pack was destroyed and she is all alone? I can't help thinking. This damn she-wolf is going to be the end of me. I can not even control what I am thinking about anymore. I will reject and kill her! I will not let her distract me. If she can do it from a distance even before I met her, what will she do if I allow her into my life and heart? There is no way I will let her near me. I need women that I do not feel any attachment to, and I have Selena and the other few that gives me what I want without ever thinking about anything more. They know I am ruthless and will not accept them as a mate or anything more than a w***e that must pleasure me. Women are only good for having s*x with they are no good as a mate and a partner. I refuse to ever think about that she-wolf ever again. "She will be ours and sooner than you think",, Hunter laughs at me just like my mother. "Shut up, Mutt!!! I am getting sick of him. That night, I dream of a beautiful creature, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I did not take anyone to my bed as Hunter was still stubborn and would not let me. I woke up with sweat forming on my forehead. "Who is she, and why did I dream about her? Maybe I dreamed about the Moon Goddess herself? She was too beautiful to be real, but I could not get the image out of my head. "Mate", Hunter growled. I laughed at him and said, " There is no way a woman that beautiful walks this earth. We only dreamed about the Moon Goddess" Hunter was not convinced, or maybe he knew more than me. "Mate", he growled again. I let him be, and went back to sleep. I had a lot to do tomorrow and could not let a mere dream keep me from sleeping. I do not care if she looked like the woman in my dreams. I do not want a mate.           I smell her before she walks into the room. Her cheap perfume. "I am not in the mood Selena" "But I missed you, baby", she purred ", and you hurt my feelings when you called me a w***e earlier" I sighed since when am I her baby? She was becoming too clingy, and I will have to get rid of her. "I am tired and not in the mood, Serena! Go away!" I growled, not liking that she is calling me pet names. This woman has no shame. I feel her naked body getting into my bed, pressing against me. Her hands moving over my body. I grab her hands and push her off my bed. "To me, you are nothing but a w***e I used, I feel nothing for you, and I am tired of you anyway. Do not call me, baby. I am your king! Now leave my room. I have a busy day tomorrow." She was sitting on the ground sobbing; I had no time for weaklings. "Do you want to die, Selena?" I ask, slowly transforming into my wolf. She moves back a bit in shock, and I could see her face turn sober. "I thought you loved me as much as I loved you. I thought we were more than just s*x buddies. You said you loved me," She sobbed. "I sometimes say things I do not mean in the heat of the moment, Selena. You know I have many lovers and that you are nothing to me, just like they are nothing to me. I walk closer to her in my wolf form. Hunter is taking over now, and I do not want to stop him. "I have a mate as beautiful as the Moon Goddess, you stupid w***e", He growls at him. "Do you for one minute think I will choose a cheap little plaything like you over my Queen?"       "Shift", I hear him command her. I was content to sit back and let him control it. "Shift and defend yourself, or I will just rip you to shreds right here and now" She shivers and shifts. She was a medium-size wolf, not very strong. She knew she could not defend herself against Hunter, but she jumped at him and tried to bit at his neck. He loves this game. He loves killing his prey and taking them down with as much pain as possible. He shakes her off him and grabs her by the neck, shaking her like a rag-doll. "Do not make a mess",, I reminded Hunter. "We still need to sleep here tonight."  He growls as he breaks her neck upset that he had to end his little game quicker than he likes. I call out to the omega to remove her body, they say nothing as they knew me by now, and if you are weak, you die. As I said, I have no time for weaklings. Your pack is just as strong as your weakest link.       At last, I fall asleep, and the last picture in my head is of the beautiful Goddess I dreamed of.
