Xavier's POV
"Dad, you can't force me to do anything!" Its aggravating, the way he wants to control my life as if its his. He knows that your mate is the one that makes you whole. He knows this, but he wants me to mark and mate someone who isn't her. No. I refuse to ever let that happen.

My name is Xavier King, and I'm the soon to be Alpha to my pack, the Palm Beach Pack, also known as the "Power Pack" for how much land we own. For how much power we have.

Now, my pack needs two leaders. An Alpha, and a Luna. 50% down, I just need the other half. Who is also... well, my other half. Ironic, huh?

The Alpha of the moment, (my father), Xander King, is going to force me to marry if I don't find my mate in the next five months. It has been a year since I have come to the age that my mate will appear. Since that year was completed, my dad has told me that he is giving me another year to find, mark, and mate with her, and if I don't find her, I will have to mate with another she-wolf. One that is not my mate. One that I will never love as long as I know that my mate is possibly alive.

Its been seven months, yet, no progress. I have felt absolutely nothing every day before today. But, I'm not sure about today. Something in my gut tells me its going to be quite eventful. Something else is telling me I will get no sleep, either. Which, might be a good thing.

This morning, I woke up and argued with my dad during breakfast. He doesn't get it! I want my mate and I won't settle for anybody else! Ugh! Breathe, Xaiver, breathe.

Before anything else could happen, I got up and left. Yelling a good bye to my mother over my shoulder, I got in my Dodge Charger and drove to school. Heh. I know what you're thinking right now, "Huh? Wouldn't the Alpha's son be driving something a little more, well, flashy?" and honestly, I could. I could drive a Bugatti, but I'm not because I have enough attention as it is, and I'm not one to be flashy. No. I don't want the attention of the ladies either, they're all over me, but no way. I am saving myself in every way I can for my mate. Why? Because I know that nothing will ever compare to the kiss and touch of my soulmate. Of my other half.

I just hope, I just keep hoping, that today, today will be the day I find her.
