Lucas's POV-
Today was like any other day since I became Alpha of the Spirit Lake Pack 3 weeks ago on my 18th birthday. It was boring, full of paperwork, and no excitement. Not even one rouge attack! But right now I was in my office doing a shit-load of paperwork. It was so boring I thought my brain would melt. But it was my job as Alpha to get it done, and mine alone.
"How the hell did my dad do all of this?" I whisper yelled in frustration, while trying to concentrate on a very large electric bill, that was over 1,000 dollars. But having around 500 people in your pack influences it to great extent. Thank the Moon Goddess that my family is rich. After a few more minutes I checked the time on my phone. 5:30. I've been doing paperwork for 3 hours straight! There was still a hell of a lot to do. I sighed in frustration, knowing I'd have to do the same thing tomorrow. Work my ass off and get everything done.
My stomach decided to growl then, and that's when I realized just how starving I was. I rubbed my slightly sleepy eyes and made my way to the main kitchen. It took a minute, I mean the pack house is 5 stories, so it makes sense. As I was going to the main kitchen, whenever I would pass someone in the halls they would bow their heads and mutter "Alpha". The first few times I thought my dad was around, but I would look around and he wouldn't be there. All in all, I would finally realize that they were talking to me and I would make myself look like an idiot. Let's just say I'm still getting used to people calling me "Alpha". But whenever I did think of my dad, only a painful weight would sit on my chest. But let's not talk about that right now, shall we?
Once I finally got to the kitchen, I opened the fridge and looked for something good to eat. After a minute I seen leftover pork chops. I threw a couple on a plate and tossed them into the microwave. As I was waiting for my food to heat up, my Beta/best friend, and his mate Emma, walked in. Sam (the Beta), was my age, 6'2, a little less muscular than me, and he had short brown hair and vibrant green eyes. Emma however was 17, 5'8, with long blonde hair that went to her waist, and blue-gray eyes. They were of course, holding hands.
"Hey man, how's it been?" Sam asked, sitting at the huge island. Sam and I have been friends since middle school, and we have TONS of trust for each other. That was one of the reasons why I offered him to be my Beta. He could rely on me and I could rely on him. He also gave great advice and he was a very good second in command.
"Boring, you?" I responded. He chuckled and took Emma's hand in his.
"Nothing exciting", he answered. He then gave Emma a small kiss on the cheek, making her blush and giggle madly. I rolled my eyes in amusement. I then felt a small pang of jealousy towards them. I wish my mate was here, so that I could do the same thing to him/her. Did I forget to mention? I'm pansexual, so I don't care what gender my mate will be. Hell, I don't even care about their role, type of Supernatural, or if they're a human, I'll still love them with all my heart, body, and soul. I frowned at that. I had been looking for my mate for 3 years, ever since I turned 15. Hell, even my dad took me to other packs during celebrations while he was still Alpha. We did this in hopes of finding my mate. But we never had any luck. Most of the mate-less girls tried to act all flirty and slutty around me in case they were my mate. All that did was make me extremely uncomfortable though.
Just then the microwave beeped, snapping me out of my train of thought. Happy for the distraction, I carefully took the hot plate and sat down beside Sam. As if he had heard my previous thoughts, he opened his mouth-
"Any luck finding your mate?" Sam asked, curiosity written all over his face. I sighed as all of my previous thoughts came crashing back into my head. I pushed my plate away from me slightly. I didn't feel so hungry anymore. Sam started to pat my shoulder to try to comfort me.
"I'm sorry, I forgot", he said, guilt laced in his voice. "I should have kept my mouth shut." My wolf was growling a little bit from him making me sad, but I tuned him out. Getting angry over this was stupid and pointless.
"Its alright, don't worry about it", I said, a clear-as-day fake smile plastered on my face. He raised an eyebrow, and opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but he quickly shut his mouth and turned back to Emma. Thank the Moon Goddess he used his common sense and just shut up.
I was about to start eating again when this happened-
"Alpha! There's an intruder on our territory!" my cheif battle trainer, Cassandra said through the mind link. "We have him surrounded, we just need you here!"
"Who is it?" I replied.
"We don't know, but we do know one thing...", she trailed off.
"And that is?!" I asked, growing impatient.
"He's a mage", she replied. "And a powerful one by the looks of him." I started to worry a little.
"Where are you?" I asked, keeping my voice steady.
" A few minutes past the lake", Cassandra answered. "One of our scouts saw him walking towards it and alerted me and a few others at once."
"Stay there, I'll be there soon", I ordered.
"Yes Alpha!" she said, closing the link.
I quickly turned to Sam and Emma, explained everything to them, and ran out of the house with Sam right behind me. As soon as we got to the woods that surround the pack house, we both shifted into our wolves. Sam's wolf was slightly smaller than me, but not by much, his fur was a blend of many shades of browns with small golden tints here and there, but it looked good. His eyes stood out because they were green. My wolf however had pure midnight black fur, I had the largest wolf in the pack because I'm the Alpha, and my deep blue eyes stood out from my fur.
AN: thats the color of his eyes! A deep royal blue! Sooooo pretty!
We started running to the lake and we kept trying to pick up our people's scent as we went. We made it to the lake after a few minutes and we finally picked up the scent. It led us West.
"This way!" I said to Sam through the mind link. He gave a short nod and we continued running, following the scent. After a few minutes we made it to a small clearing in the woods. The sight was kind of scary to be quite honest.
Eight of my pack members, including Cassandra, were in their wolf forms and had formed a tight circle, each one with a ferocious look on their face. In the center of the circle was the mage. He looked no older than 17, 5'7, with short brunette hair and light blue eyes. He was holding his staff in what looked like a battle position, with it glowing with fire. I noticed an amulet around his neck that had the dragon symbol engraved in it. I also saw that he had a large duffel bag hanging on his left shoulder, which looked incredibly heavy, but it didn't seem to affect him. He had a fierce look his face, as if daring us to attack. I could feel his magic radiating off of him, like giant waves of energy just emitting from his body. It was making me slightly dizzy.
I took a deep breath, and shifted back to my human form, telling the others through the mind link to stay back. I took one step forward, and mine and the mage's eyes met. Almost immediately, the most spectacular smell filled my nostrils. It smelled like cinnamon and freshly baked sugar cookies. I closed my eyes taking in the scent. It was wonderful! I opened my eyes and met the mage's eyes again and soon realized... the smell was coming from him! I then felt a small tug in my chest, like a small invisible rope was pulling me towards him.
"MATE!" my wolf, Shade, howled with joy. I looked at him again and realized how beautiful he was, his short brunette locks sweeping over his eyes a little, the way his face (which was very handsome in my opinion) looked while he was determined was cute, and I could get lost in those blue eyes forever. Yeah, yeah its cheesy as shit, but what can you do? I quickly blocked out Shade and slowly started approaching the mage/my mate. I was maybe 5 feet away from him when he raised his staff, and I froze, not from his magic, but from shock, and I felt slightly hurt from his actions. He was giving me a look, as if he thought I was suspicious.
"Don't. Take. Another. Step", he warned, not just to me, but everyone, as he glared at all of us. "Or become nothing but ash in the wind!"
