Chapter 1
Luke's pov
"Mom can I go out to play, please? "
A little boy asked his mother who was busy preparing dinner.
"Sure honey make sure you stay close," his mom answered.
"Ok mum."
The little boy went outside and saw a pretty butterfly,he started chasing it not paying attention to his surroundings and he wandered into the forest . He realised it was getting late and he didn't know the way back home so he fell down on the forest floor and started crying for his mom .
As if by magic he mom appeared and started scolding him for wondering off, but the little boy's attention was focused on the suspicious sounds coming from some bushes a few metres away from where they were standing he wanted to warn his mother unfortunately it was too late.
Suddenly a group of five rouges were surrounding them . He frightened eyes met his mothers' . She told him to run as the rouges started advancing towards them, yet he didn't, he was stuck frozen in his spot as his mother fought bravely . She fought hard but one female werewolf was no match for five vicious rouges attacking at once.
Soon they had tied her up and forced her innocent son to watch them rape his mother. Stripping her of her dignity, self worth and pride before finally ripping out her heart.
They started advancing towards the little boy but were tackled by several wolves from the boys pack who had suddenly arrived from nowhere.
It took them seconds to kill the rouges because they were viciously protecting their luna and future alpha .
They quickly ripped the rouges to shreds. Then and only then did the alpha hold his dead mate in his arms. Breaking down in front of his pack, mourning his soulmate as the rest of the pack started howling in pain feeling the loss of their Luna .
No questions were asked everyone just looked at the little boy with hatred and disgust as her father kept repeating the words: "it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault..."
I woke up from another nightmare, only this was more of a memory than a nightmare but that just made the pain worse . So many times I wanted to end it all but my wolf ,he still had faith that there was a mate out there for me.
I on the other hand I had given up knowing nobody would want me . I signed knowing today was the day our neighbours the strongest pack in the world , the Moonlight Warriors pack would be coming to renew our treaty.
We were a pretty strong pack but compared to them we were nothing, the funniest thing was that their future alpha was a female. Casey Bates, her name alone sent shivers down everyone's spin.When she was born a lot of people were dissapionted because they wanted a strong male alpha to run their pack, but as she grew up she proved all those people wrong .
I heard she is more vicious in battle than most males .Of course coming from a long line of alphas gave her an additional advantage over most.
I quickly got up and started my day by taking a cold shower with the freezing water which I had become used to over the years .It's just another privilege l lost after the incident . I stepped out of the shower then I put on one of my few presentable outfits: a plaid shirt with some very faded out jeans .
I quickly scrambled to the pack house to do my chores which included cooking and cleaning after the whole pack and washing the car of every teen . I had just finished with my chores when the beta shouted for everyone to assemble at the pack house.Our visitors had arrived. Well here goes nothing ...
Casey's pov
I got up early in the morning because we had to travel to a neighbouring pack to renew a treaty .Honestly I didn't want to go but as future alpha it was my responsibility and besides, it way to check for my mate. I signed at the word mate, that one special person who is supposed to love you unconditionally.
I can't wait to find mine ,I saved my first everything for him I've never even kissed a guy but all will be worth it when I see the look of pride and love on his face when he realizes that I kept myself for him.
I was too focused on my thoughts to notice a barely dressed girl leaving Josh's room . I swear really it seems like everyday he sleeps with a new girl .
We all know him for his playerish ways and frankly I think just like everyone else he's pining for his mate but is too stubborn to admit it .
He deals with his loneliness by sleeping with girls, weird I know,sometimes I also feel lonely but I don't sleep around instead I bury myself in pack work and training.
I seriously feel jealous anytime I see mates walking around . I want to find that special someone who would love me unconditionally. And treat me like I was the most precious thing to him,I don't care which rank he is I just want him to love me for me.
I realised I had reached the kitchen I quickly grabbed some pancakes before the rest of my pack could finish it. Yes the pancakes were that good . As soon as I finished eating my dad came to announce that we were going.
We were almost in the car ready to leave when Josh came running out having obviously overslept due to his ... activities the previous day . The whole car ride he grumbled about his hunger and I had to finally command him to shut up up.
Boys...

When we arrived we were greeted by the alpha and his annoying son Lance , I seriously hate that guy he's such a man w***e who lacks leadership skills .Alpha Wilde gave as a smile but you could see it was empty .I pity him,poor guy .Living without your mate is like living with half of your soul .
Not only did he lose his mate he lost his son, the rightful future alpha, too i can just imagine the pain he must be going through daily . It's even a wonder how he is still able to function and ran a pack he must have a lot of self control and strength .
Most werewolves commit suicide after the death of their mates . But he has survived for years.
After exchanging pleasantries we were led inside to meet the pack . We entered a huge room . It was painted cream with a beautiful polished wooden floor and big glass windows that let the sun pour in, brightening the room.In simple words the room was gorgeous.
I was too busy admiring the room to pay attention to a strong scent coming from one person in the room , it smells like the forest after the rain ,one of my favourite smells. My wolf had desperately been shouting a word I've wanted to hear since I was little :
mate...
