"She's actually going out with a Kayley and her friends right now, do not fret my child, she will be okay," my mother said on the phone, her voice soothing me from my worries of Kayley planning something. I inhaled deeply, brushing my hair back as I leant against the wall with the phone pressed to my ear. I was glad Kayley was trying, happy even.
"Thank you mother, I'm glad Kayley is trying, how are you going?" I asked her, remembering my manners as a few people had passed me, eyeing me down as I spoke into the phone. I lowly growled at them.
"Your father and I are doing quite fine, how is therapy going?" she replied, keeping the conversation light and free flowing. I smiled, knowing how well it seemed. I was doing quite well, my anger issues were diminishing and I was having almost full control over my wolf. Things were finally brightening up for me and it meant that Irene and I could sort out our issues better, I was really happy.
"Perfect, just a couple more weeks mother then Irene and I go on our holiday, then back to the pack. I can't wait," I beamed, a smile painting my face at the thought of seeing Irene again, it made my insides melt and my skin on fire. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I missed her. I missed her scent. I missed how she smiles. I missed her laugh. I missed her body. I miss everything about her.
"I know, I can't wait to see you. Irene has been missing you too, I can smell it on her," my mother replies, making my heart clench and my wolf howl in pure happiness. I felt a smile grow on my face, it reached my eyes as I thought of how she missed me. I couldn't be any happier than I was, knowing that she missed me has made my day. She's changed me.
"That's good, Goddess, I miss you all," I pouted slightly, knowing that it has been a few days since I've last held my family together.
"We all miss you, family therapy gets us too much sometimes, the pack therapy, however, has brought us all closer, I made some new friends!" my mother beamed out, making me smile for her. She's always had trouble making new friends, at least the pack is happier and better. I hope that when I arrive, they welcome me back with open arms and praise me for doing this for them. I am doing therapy for my mate and pack, this is for them.
"I'm happy for you, I'm glad the pack is coming together. Will you be having a packed dinner or party?" I asked her, trying to picture the whole pack coming together after two years of nothing but small dinners and lunch.
"Oh course! I am so excited, we'll be having it by the end of next week. Friday. The whole pack is excited to have this, the pups are buzzing and the whole family is preparing," she yelled into the phone, causing me to put the phone a little far away from my ear. I chuckled and pressed the phone against my ear when I heard that she had calmed down.
"I'm glad, the pack deserves something like this. However, I won't be there to join you guys, hope you have a great time," I said, feeling a little down as I knew I won't be able to make it to the party. My trainers have gotten tougher on me and they knew about my little escapade with my mate, I got a good beating for that.
"I wish you were here, you're trainers have complimented on how well you're progressing, even making a friend there. What's his name? Max, is it?" she questioned.
I had made a friend during my time here, his name is not Max, but Matthew. He's a good wolf, used to be a beta back in his old pack until his wolf became unstable that he came here. He's dealt with a lot, rejected by his mate and left with his pup and then had an outbreak, hence why his wolf is unstable. They both love their mate and pup, only having to speak with them every Saturday for an hour. His pup's name is Violet and his mate's name was Naomi. They're both very beautiful ladies, Matthew's a lucky guy, but I'm luckier.
"It's Matthew and he's just like me, he's a great guy," I said, knowing how well he was around me. He wasn't afraid of the other people, he may be younger than me, but he acted very maturely.
"That's very good, you should invite him to join us for dinner when you have the time," she mused, I could feel her smiling on the phone and giggling like a school girl.
"I should, anyway, I got to go, training starts in ten minutes and I don't want to be late," I said to her.
"Alright, goodbye, have a good time Archer, be a good boy!" my mother screamed into the phone, making me chuckle loudly. I could feel a rush of embarrassment flow through me as I heard my brother chuckle in the background.
"Be a good boy!" he laughed boisterously as I growled into the phone.
"Shut up!" I screamed playfully before ending the call and laughing out loud in an empty hallway. My family was embarrassing.
The next afternoon I got up ready for a new day, today was going to a lunch for those who were receiving therapy. There were over forty people in this building, I think 25 were male and the rest female. They were an alright bunch, they had their own friends and family and usually kept to themselves, unless someone started someone which was rarely.
I dressed in a white tee and black pants, I didn't want to wear something too fancy considering the majority of these people didn't dress like that. I also did not want to attract any female attention, from what Matthew has told me, many of the she-wolves here were unmated and some of their heats were coming soon. I didn't want any of those she-wolves to take a liking to me because I am an Alpha, many she-wolves are attracted to a wolf's status.
Sighing heavily, I took several steps inside the hall and smelt different wolves who were inside. Tables and chairs were placed around the building and a whole line of tables was littered with food and drinks, the black outlines of them indicated where they were. Music was playing in the background as people conversed with each other, I saw Matthew's aura hiding in the corner, eyeing the whole group as he sipped on his drink. I walked over to him and smiled.
"Hey blind man," Matthew beamed brightly,
"Hey, Matt. Any she-wolves stirring trouble," I chuckled as I eyed the aura of the females who were talking with each other.
"Nah, they seem to be all good. How's Irene doing?" he questioned, sighing slowly as he leant on the wall.
"Fine, I miss her," I admitted, brushing my hair back as one of the trainers handed me a drink and I thanked him.
"You'll miss your mate, you're lucky you have her," he sighed, a sad tone in his voice as he looked away from the crowd.
"She'll come around Matt, you seem to be doing well with her," I commented, patting his back slightly as reassurance. His aura brightened a little.
"Hey Archer," a voice purred out, it was a female's voice. It was slightly high pitched and was a little too loud for my liking. My wolf stirred uncomfortably as a she-wolf appeared, a pinkish red colouring blossoming in the centre of her, indicating lust from the slight scent of arousal she had on her.
"Hello Fae," Matt said, boredom evident in his tone as I heard him take a sip of his drink.
"Matt, a pleasure to see you," Fae replied, her tone replaced with slight irritation, the heat of her stare still on me.
"So Archer, care for a dance?" she asked me, taking a step closer to me and her smell practically gripped around me, suffocating me in an uncomfortable manner as my wolf growled, Venus did not like how close she was getting to me.
"I'm good to thank you," I declined politely, hoping to not start something with her.
"Aw, why not? Don't you want to have fun?" she said, a hint of playfulness in her voice as she took another bold step towards me.
"I'm fine right here," I said again, a little firmer this time, hoping she'd leave me alone.
"Come on Archer," she persisted again, taking another bold step that her breasts were only skimming my chest. The feeling repulsed me, making me step back.
"I have a mate Fae," I told her, but seemingly that did not work as I saw her shiver from calling her name. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"She's not here is she? Besides, she'd want you to have fun?" she beamed, but I snorted and looked away from this pathetic she-wolf.
"Of course she would, but I don't think she appreciates me dancing with someone who doesn't have any respect for the high ranked," I said, a growl threatening to come through my throat because of this she-wolf. However, Fae only grew more persistent and place one of her slimy hands on my chest.
"Hands off Fae," I growled, taking her hand off mine, hoping she got the hint. She only huffed in reply, but thankfully she got the hint and walked away.
"Dude, you handled her well. Loyal, a good trait in a mate," Matthew beamed and slapped me on the back.
I chuckled in response and only smiled.
"If only my mate was here, she's slap that she-wolf and starts a war," I muttered as the gap in my chest increased, Goddess, how I missed her.
