CHAPTER 1

Please take note, single quotation marks during the story are their wolves speaking.

Ray's POV

"I have the paperwork on the new recruits Sir,do you want me to leave them on your desk?"

I crack my knuckles and nod.

Shortly after my secretary leaves, I hear a knock on the door. My wolf growls, giving me a headache.

"Hey son." My dad says as he looks around his old office.

"You're really keeping this place in good shape son."he grabs a seat.

I smile at his comment and put the paper aside." So anything I can help you with?" I ask standing up.

"Your mom's worried about you son."

"Me...why?"I furrow my eyebrows together.

"She needs grand children." Father gets up and places his hand on my shoulder." And you need a Luna..."he continues.

"Father, we've talked about this...I don't need a mate to run our pack." I turn,my back facing him.

'Fool' my wolf growls.

"Even your wolf doesn't agree with you." Father says sternly.

"He never does whenever it comes to the mating topic!" I point out blankly.

"The council has decided."he States.

"Decided what?" I turn looking him in the eye.

"That you either find a mate or you step down as alpha."

"What! They can't do that-that's trash talk!" I know they can do it cause they are the wolf council and they have the power, but still that's messed up.

"I'm sorry son...you need a Luna,there's no way that you can give the pack the motherly love they'll need. It's time you made up your mind." With that he leaves the office.

I seat at my desk and look at all the paperwork I have to fill.

My wolf paces up and down still annoyed at the fact that I don't want a mate.

I'm rudely awoken from my thoughts,when my beta rushes in with one of our trackers.

"I'm sorry for rudely coming in Ray,but there's something really important for you to settle right now."he looks serious.

"And what could that be?"I'm still facing my work when he nudges the tracker to speak.

"I was on a patrol this morning when I got an unfamiliar scent on our land..." that gets my attention and I look up.

"I traced it and it led me to an abandoned warehouse, I didn't go any further, then when I came home,I told beta."he stops.

"Thanks for the info Devon,you may leave." I tell him.

"So .. what're you going to do?"my beta asks me.

"Pay the warehouse a little visit."I respond rubbing my temples.

' And bite their heads off!' my wolf pitches in, making me grin at the thought.

"Desmond, you and I are going to find out what those wolves are doing on our pack land...and make them pay."I smirk, rubbing my hands together.

"But first...I have a meeting with alpha James of the Remington pack." I get up and look out my window.

"Gather six of our pack warriors and two trackers,we leave today."

"What time?"he asks.

I glance at my watch

"3:30".

"Ok."he leaves the office.

'Maybe we'll find mate there!'

Do you think of anything other than mating?

'I think of my hatred for squirrels.'

Shut up!

***

Violet's POV.

"Violet! Violet!"dad calls stopping me dead in my tracks.

"Yes daddy?" I use that little sweet voice so dad won't be suspicious. I was trying to run away.

Not run away actually, but to get away from all this wolf nonsense.

I've hated being a wolf ever since wolves attacked my best friend when we were kids. She was just a pup! But no... Wolves never understood anything!

"Come to my office,we have something we need to discuss." Daddy says and I bow my head as I wonder what it could be this time.

I walk in and look around before taking a seat." So daddy, what do we have to talk about?"

"It's time you rethink your wolf renounciation, wolves are your blood." He pauses.

"I can't have my own daughter saying she hates wolves,it would tarnish my whole image as alpha before the pack."

"Is that all?" I roll my eyes as I block out every single thing he's telling me.

"That...and you need a mate."he stands up.

"I am not getting a mate dad, it's stupid, dumb and how the hell does having a mate affect me?!" I practically scream at my dad! The alpha!

"You're 21!"he growls and I know that his wolf is angry." If you don't find your mate soon,you'll have to leave our pack and go find him on your own!"

I can't even take it anymore. I storm out of the office. Every single time dad does this. I have to find a way to get out of here! Fast!

"Violet, come on we're gonna be late!" My bestie Vikki says as she drags my hand and rushes out of the house.

"No...we won't." I slow her down.

"The movie starts by 2pm and this is 1:50"she points at her watch.

Why did I ever let her talk me into this,next time I am totally gonna be in charge.

"Fine." I raise my hand as I surrender...she couldn't even influence a guinea pig...but sometimes I just like letting her feel like she's got to me. I mean,who wouldn't want to be like me!

Ray's POV.

"We're ready alpha."my beta tells me over the link.

"Good."I reply.

"Cadeon, you're going to drive,Josh and Cody, I want you two to go ahead of us...we have to get there before it's dark... understood." I say, my voice firm.

"Yes alpha!" They respond.

***

After spending  two hours on the road,my butt starts aching.

I'm bored!

And I'm tired!

I want mate! If mate was here, I wouldn't be bored.

Well... boohoo...no mate!

My wolf is really driving me nuts with all this mating drama.

"Ray, we're here." Desmond my beta says, snapping me out of my little chat with my wolf.

We get out of the car as alpha James comes to welcome us.

"Welcome Ray,we have your room prepared,just follow me."he says shaking my hands.

"What of Luna?" I ask rubbing the back of my neck nervously. Don't get me wrong,Luna Emily is sweet and all but she sometimes 'creeps' me out.

"She's in the kitchen,kept on worrying about how hungry you guys would be."

Typical Emily!

I get settled in, and when I'm done, I go down for dinner.

I sit besides Desmond.

"I hear that the Alpha's daughter has a bitchy attitude."he says over the mind link.

"That can't be right! She's an Alpha's daughter." I respond back over the link.

"I also heard that she's human," Cody chimes in.

I'm about to respond when alpha James clears his throat.

"Emily, where's Violet? She should be back by now!" He asks Luna who wonders the same thing.

Just then,I hear the  sound of three girls giggling.

"And then Glory was like..."she stops talking when our eyes meet.

Well that's all for this chapter,what do you think!?
