The Female Alpha's Mate

Goodbyes

Valeria

I know it will be hard for me alone but I am strong and independent. I can do anything I want and what I want now is just some alone time before I settle down with a stranger. On the drive to the airport, we stayed silent and had no words between us. Only the music makes some noise from his radio. When we arrive he takes out my luggage from the trunk when a familiar song is playing.

"Wiz Khalifa-See you again

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

Damn, who knew?

All the planes we flew, good things we been through

That I'd be standing right here talking to you

'Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laugh

But something told me that it wouldn't last

Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture

Those were the days, hard work forever pays

Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)

Uh

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?

Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side

And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll see you again)

We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way)

From where we began (you know we started)

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll tell you)

When I see you again

First, you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strong

And what's small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond

And that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lost

(The love will never get lost)

And when brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossed

Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn

And that line is what we reached, so remember me when I'm gone"

****end of lyrics****

I always love that song but I never paid attention to the lyrics before but now it's like someone stabs into my heart. Troy puts his hands in his pockets and the awkward silence is here again. This song is like we tell us what is in it. He looks at his shoes and does not dare to look at me.

"I will call home from time to time so all of you will know how I am doing. I want to say thank you for everything. I will be back soon. I will miss you, Troy."-I look at him and he finally looks at me.

"Ok. No problem. Anytime if you need me. Please be safe and not make any stupid things. I will worry for you the whole time until you are far away. Please call me if you need some to share your thoughts and you can't tell your parents. I will miss you, Val. I want to say something to you."-He tells me and I can see a little discomfort in his eyes. He is scared to share something with me and I wonder what it is.

"I will use this opportunity for sure. What do you want to say to me? What it is about?"-I ask him because I am curious what is in his handsome head.

"Well, I want to ask you after you come back. So after if we can skip the suitors part and you choose me as your mate. We work together great and after as a couple, we can even work better. We don't have to hide anymore from our parents and be together. What do you think?"-He proposes and I hold back my breath. Is he serious or is this just a joke? I don't know how I feel about him. I love him but not as someone in romance novels. He just has a good body, is an amazing friend, our wolves are good together, he is always there for me and so many more things. But I never thought about him more than just sleeping together. I don't want to hurt him and lose him. I need to think about it and decide when I come back. Until I have many more times to think about what I want and what is good for my pack.

"I appreciate your proposal and it is so sudden. My brain is not even functioning normally because of the small sleep I had last night. I know that we can be the best together but I need time to think. When I come back we will talk about this topic again. Until then please take care of my family and do whatever you want to do. If you need me I just call away."-I explain to him that I can't decide now. It is a hard decision and I can't decide after I think for just a minute. No, because this is about my future and my future pack also. I know that he will be a good Alpha and will take care of me but I want to know if someone else out there can be a good mate for me.

"The boarding to Los Angeles has just begun. Please hurry to check-in and not be late for your flight."-The woman's voice is heard from the sound speaker. That is mine and I need to hurry.

"That is my clue to let you go. I know it is so sudden but please think about it. I will wait for you here at home and take care of your family. Enjoy your journey and tell me everything that happens with you."-He suddenly wraps his arms around me and pulls me against his warm body. I will miss his touch and his scent. He hove a kiss to my forehead and after kissing my lips with love in it. It feels different than ever before. Maybe because of the farewell or just the small sleep I had. He asks for my tongue and I give him what he asks. If I don't give him now I will regret it and I don't want that. I feel my tears gather in the corner of my eyes again. Of course, they all escape my eyes. Troy wipes them and kisses the tip of my nose. He sniffs a deep, because I am sure he will miss my scent too.

"I will miss you, Troy. Take care."-I say after we pull away because no air is left in our lungs. I need to hurry before I'm late. I grab the telescoping handle to my luggages and slowly start to pull behind me. I walk to the counter to give my ticket and my luggages to send to the plane. The nice lady tells me that everything is good and set. I just need to go through security and I can get on the plane in time. I pull after myself my carry-on baggage with my most important things in it. I last time looked at the place where Troy's car is parked. He is still there but now he is inside his car and looking at me. I wink at him and sign with my finger an okay that everything is alright.

"Goodbye, Val."-He mind-link me last time.

"Goodbye, T."-I answer him while I go through the metal detector door. He steps on the gas and he is gone. We will see each other soon. When everything is good I finally can step on the board. I am so excited about this trip. I find my seat near the window because I want to see the clouds close. Thirty minutes later I sat on my seat. We are finally in the air. I take out my music player and enjoy the music on it. Soon sleep takes over my exhausted body and I dream about my journey. The food was good on the plane and it surprised me. I thought it does not even have taste for the food but after the first bite. I just moan because of the taste of the food. We flew for a couple of hours when the captain said we arrived in Los Angeles and get ready to land on the ground. I love to fly but even on the ground is better.

" Agree. That is too high in the sky and if we fall we are sure not to survive. Even with my fast healing ability. Finally ground again."-She protests but I know she likes to be in the air. This way she feels closer to the Moon Goddess.

I get out of the plane with my carry-on luggage and go on a hunt to search for my other luggages. The screen is shown to all of us: Welcome to Los Angeles. Here I am now. I can see the world for as long as possible. There are so many people in the airport.
