Chasing My Dreams

Chapter 4 (Declan)

What on earth possesd me to do this? I got on an airplane to Tampa with my Beta Nathan to find the one made for me by the moon godess, my mate. Nate couldn't understand how I knew. I kept telling him I could sense her, and feel her and hear her... but mostly I could smell her. It started almost a week ago, when my mate must have started her transition into becoming a wolf. To becoming my mate.

Its interesting to say the least, let me be frank - a Wolf is awesome, it is beautiful, pure and strong. Its delicate in its approach, loyal in its devotion but mostly its prideful. The one thing we werewolves are meant to do is be mated with 1 forever. Thats it, there is 1 other being made for us. Or at least thats what the forklore tells us. I've never heard of exceptions to this rule, but I again have never heard of anyone being drawn to their mate as i have either.

A couple nights ago I felt her in the woods with us when we were along the lake. I could smell her. She smelled of lillys and lavendar. I couldn't see her face at the time, but I knew she was everything I ever wanted. I needed her, my pack needed her. Every pack needs a luna, its what comepletes the pack - gives the pack a stronger effect.

My pack is named the little river. We were created when my father and mother devloped after the near extictionsion of the previous 2 packs located here in Michigan almost 30 years ago: The 3 rivers Pack and the Sleeping Bear Pack. They were eliminated (nearly) when the alphas and lunas were executed by worlocks when the worlocks were trying to gain the upper hand in the world. However, it didn't last - the fates have it in for bodys of unnatural elements trying to eliminate other unnatural beings. Not that any of that makes sense. Basically, the gods were pissed so they eliminated a hanful of worlocks that were the ones who caused harm to those packs. The issue being that the luna/Alphas of those packs were elminated so there wasn't a true Alpha in the midst to be able to take rein of the remaining members. My father stepped up and had a worlock Knight him in the ways of an alpha and he swore his life to protect his pack and the people around the area.

Humans still believe we don't exists and if our secret ever got out, then it would be trouble for the unnatureal world all together. So, we keep an extremly low profile. My father died 2 years ago when I was 18. He traveled somewhere to find the existing alpha blood from Michigan - apparently they were still alive. My father, was returned via medical examiner - they claimed he was attacked by a bear or something - I never asked too many questions because I was being sworn into the Alpha position and had to take over the pack. My mother helped guide me along the way - but, she was beyond broken. Torn, losing your mate is a death wish for many. Watching my mother grieve - I told my mother i didn't want a mate. She explained to me why I had to find her, why if I didn't it would be the death of this pack. The luna holds the pack together. The luna guides the alpha in all decisions.

My parents were beyond in love with one another, the love I saw the two of them in - was exactly what I wanted. I wanted a family with my own pups. I wanted a mate to hold and protect. I am building a legacy here, and I need her by my side. My mother told me that we may have to travel far to find my mate...because, not many couples survived the destruction of the 2 packs here in Michigan. My friend Nate was my Beta, a Gamma would be chosen when a luna was sworn in - because the Gamma would protect the luna at all costs, just as the beta does to his alpha.

Nate doesn't believe in mates. Besides, he thinks he's destined for failure as his parents divorced - which is HIGHLY uncommon for mates. But, Nates mom is a healer so, her mate bond was never very strong and her husband was a human. It was different. Nate though, he is strong as nails - his dad is actually a pro wrestler but they don't speak often. Nates dad doesn't know what he and his mother are - she hid it with her healing power - but, it drove a wedge in that relationship and well... here we are.

When I was drawn to her house, Nate couldn't figure out how I tracked her. It's not normal, I couldn't even explain it - I love spider man and I kept referring to it as my spidey sense. When I noticed her window open and eventually got in there to try and help calm her wolf down. My wolf met hers. My wolves name is Jarren her wolf though she has not met her herself is Kali. I am a man of musical tendancies - I play the paino and I sing to comfort those around me just as my mom did to me growing up, I played football and baseball I was a jock but I always felt the need to sing to comfort those around me. So, when I saw her body in pain - and I saw her copy of Tyler Hiltons album on the floor - I decided to sing a song from him. I love music, all of it. Her body calmed by my voice. Seeing her lay there peacfully as her body was doing its upmost to transform in front of me, made me infatuated with her already. She was perfect.

I looked at her for a minute, she had this hazelnut colored hair that was long and wavy. She was curvy in all the right places, soft perfect lips, long beautiful eye lashes - she was pale currently but I believed she would be tan - she was in the fever and her heat would start soon. I cant believe I found her, I cant believe she is what the moon goddess made for me. Or maybe I was made for her? I looked at her one more time leaned down, wiped the tears from her closed eyes and whispered in here ear, "I will find you, I'll be seeing you."

As much as I wanted to be there for her transformation, she doesn't know me. I can't. I don't even know how I got here in the first place.

As I crept out the window and jumped down from the second story, Nate is not alone. I let out a growl. A cloaked man is standing near Nate - he looked between the both of us, "Come with me, I will explain - this is complicated."
