Perfect Soulmates

Chapter 4

It was 3 am, and everyone in the packhouse was asleep, when the metallic sound of a car hitting something woke them up.

The Alpha and his family, as well as Kat and other members of the pack, went down to the street to see what was going on.

A car was smoking from having slammed into the packhouse's thick walls, and inside, with his head buried in the airbag, was Micky, covered in blood and with glass embedded in his skin. Alex ran to the car door, and with his inhuman strength, manages to rip the door off and free his friend. He takes him out of the car, and runs to the pack hospital, followed by everyone.

As soon as he enters, he is greeted by the doctor and some nurses, who take the inanimate beta into the treatment room.

Everyone waits for news. Kat sits down next to Alex. With the skirt of her nightshirt, she wipes off Alex's bloodied hands, who is visibly agitated.

- Micky is strong, he'll be fine. - Alex's father says, trying to lighten the mood.

- Where did he come from, and in such a hurry, to crash his car like that? - Alex's mother asks.

- He must have come from the pub. He smells like wolfsbane. He must have been drinking spiked alcohol. He was too drunk to drive. The i***t could have called someone to fetch him. - Alex says.

- He hadn't been drinking this much for so long. What would have happened to him, that made him drink like that?

No one else responded, but Alex had a feeling it was his fault. His friend seemed very taken by Kat, and it wasn't the first time in werewolf history that a werewolf had more than one mate. Would Kat have two mates? Would Micky be Kat's mate too?

Alex loved his friend, but like any alpha, he was very possessive. Even if Micky was Kat's mate, he would have to get over it and find a chosen mate, as he would never share his mate.

The doctor comes back and Alex slowly walks towards him.

- Alpha, the beta is fine. We have removed all the glass and all the wounds are slowly healing. He has a very high amount of wolfsbane in his blood, probably drink mixed with alcohol. He's terribly drunk. I don't know how he managed to drive home without having an accident along the way. He was very lucky, and very unlucky, to end up having an accident when he got home. He's going to stay here, to cure the drunkenness, and tomorrow, when he wakes up, apart from a headache, he won't have any traces of an accident.

- Thank you doctor. Please tell Micky to look for me as soon as he wakes up. I'm going to kill him for nearly scaring us to death.

The doctor smiles and nods.

Everyone went back to bed, because with all that, the night had become too short.

Kat goes to her room, but before closing the door, she asks:

- Why are you so worried? The doctor said Micky was going to be fine.

- You like Micky a lot, don't you?

She thinks and after some seconds, she answers:

- I hardly know him, but I liked him as soon as I saw him in the apple trees. When he looked at me, I thought it was my mate, but then you came along and I realized that you were my real mate.

Alex nods, and goes to his room.

“What are you thinking?” – Fury, his big gray wolf with dark blue eyes like the sky on stormy days asks him.

“I think Micky and Kat are mates.”

“What the f**k are you talking about? Kat is our mate. You should be marking her instead of thinking nonsense.” - Fury tells him in his alpha voice.

“I know Kat is my mate. Don't take me for an i***t. But I think they are also mates.”

“Then you have to kill him” – Fury says suddenly.

“Don't be an i***t. Micky is my best friend. Kat doesn't feel the matebond whit Micky. Micky is going to have to fight his feelings and keep his distance from Kat.”

"I think he had better do it, or I'll rip his neck off."

Alex, lie down, but he can't sleep.

When morning comes, he gets up, does his morning rituals and goes down to the dining room to have breakfast.

Many were already present eating, including Kat, who was going to the human city with Alex's mother, to buy all the clothes she needed.

Before sitting down, he gives his mother his black card and says:

- Don't look at spending. Buy her simple everyday clothes, but also buy her party and outing clothes. I want my luna to be the envy wherever she goes. Don't forget to buy all those things you women like to wear and shoes.

- Son, for the love of the Goddess, I know what to do. She needs a whole wardrobe. In fact, she needs everything. Be prepared for the card to be uncovered.

Alex laughs. Of course, the mother knew how to spend money. When she went out shopping, she was like a glutton, gobbling up everything she saw along the way.

He sits down next to Kat and gives her a kiss on the cheek, causing her to blush and some of the shewolves present to let out little giggles.

He had barely started eating when Micky came into the room, looking embarrassed and scratching his head.

- Is the hangover over? - Alex asks with a disapproving look.

- Yes, I'm fine now. Sorry I destroyed the flowers.

He sits on the other side of Alex, as usual, but Alex stops him.

- Go take a shower first. You just smell like alcohol and s*x.

Micky steals a toast from Alex's plate, puts scrambled eggs on it, and goes to the bedroom to shower.

- He will never change. - Alex says to himself, smiling.

Kat glares at him. Alex really cares about his friend. That makes her happy.
