My Mate

Chapter 3

I walk out of the exam hall, glad that I am finally writing my last paper for the semester today. 

It's been a heck of a week with all the exams s**t going on and my father assigned me to deal with some issues regarding the pack and I still couldn't get anything done out of the million packs that the gave me. 

Now that the semester is finally over, I can sit down and finally sort through them with in the week and I'll have the rest of the month to chill with my guys. 

We are planning on going to the Cape Breton island. 

I'm not much of a historical person but I sure want to get out of this town and let some of my steam off.

I walk over to my car and hop in. 

Instead of igniting the engine and driving off like I should, I pick up my phone and start scrolling through my contacts. 

I want to make a call but I don't even know who to call. 

At last, my hand dialled Roman's phone number. 

After ringing for like two times, he finally picks up.

"Hey, what's up bro, heared you finished your papers today" He says.

"Yeah, I'm finally off the hook" I answer.

"Congrats man, now we can finally go on our proper vacation, I was really looking forward to it you know, I always wanted to show Stacy the world and now we can bring her along" he says excitedly.

"Yeah, fine" I answer.

Out of all our peer and Alpha's group, I am still the only one who hasn't got his mate yet. 

So it's going to be a little awkward. 

Last year, I and Mark were both Mate less and we hanged out together but now, he has also found his mate, over a month ago I guess.

"I was wondering, Stacy said that she would bring her girls as well, maybe you can hang out with one of them and hopefully, you might find your mate in one of them" he says and I can feel the hint of teasing in his voice.

He knows too well that I hate hanging around girls in high school and still don't get why they did it back then. 

But maybe he's right, maybe I should try and open up a bit and then maybe, just maybe, I could find her.

"Yeah, sure whatever" I answer grumpily.

"You gotta open up man, I assure you she is much more closer than you think she is, you just gotta look closer to finally see her" he says.

Now he is talking like the big bro I never had and never want to have. 

Why did I even call him in the first place?. 

Oh yeah, I remember.

"Are you at home please?" I ask.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" he asks.

"Uhmm, I was thinking of coming over and hanging out there, I just don't want to go back home right now or else I'll be shoved into my office with a bunch of files" I say.

"Oh, sound like school isn't over for someone" he tease.

"You know what, why can't you just tell that Dada of yours that he should lay off and let you finish college first before he moulds you into the Alpha that he wants you to be" he says.

He sounds a bit pissed off as well. 

He and my Dad don't actually see eye to eye you see.

"I know right, but he is all that I have left" I say and that's the truth.

You are all wondering where the heck my mom is right?. Well, first of all, she's dead and the reason of death, she died while giving birth to my younger sibling who also died soon after her and she also has cancer at the time of which I had no idea till the end and that's when my father started being strict with everyone, me included. 

I know he misses her a lot, I do too but we both express it in a different way.

"You know, my father and I agreed that I will take the role of the Alpha as soon as I graduate, why can't he just do that for you?" he asks.

Well, that answer I don't know too.

"Anyways, I'm coming over now" I say, trying to change the subject.

"OK, I'll be waiting for you then" he answers.

He didn't try to push the topic too and that's why I like him, he doesn't try to pry on others personal matters.

I end the call and turn on my car and drive off to his house. I just hope my father would not reprimand me for that too.
