CHAPTER 6

This discussion is over, you are going and that is final." she bites, trying to show her dominance over me. My wolf howled at her disrespect, mother or not, he did not like her tone. I gripped my hands tightly, trying to calm down as my wolf wanted to take over to bite back at her, controlling my wolf I inhaled and exhaled, trying to contain my wolf from surfacing, he was very impatient, we were both impatient. "Mother I don't think-" I said, but I was immediately cut off as my mother spoke once again. "Archer Bane Donovan, do not try and argue with me. You may be the new Alpha, but you are my son and you will do as I say. No excuses." she growled, as I could hear the chair scrape on the floor and the door slamming shut, leaving a very awkward silence in her wake. Obviously, I got my short-temper and stubbornness from my mother, but I couldn't be bothered dealing with her right now, my wolf was very agitated and wanted nothing more than to show my mother who was boss around here. Irubbed my temples, trying to calm my wolf down as my siblings talked in hushed whispers, even though I could hear them they tried to be silent anyway. "Father. Go to your mother, she's obviously distressed." I ordered him. I could hear him sigh in defeat, and slowly walk out of the hall, only for him to stop and say, "You mother is worried about your son, please listen to her and go, as she said you may be the Alpha, but you are still our son and we still want respect from you." and without another word, he opened the door and left, my siblings going out with him, leaving me alone in the dining hall with my thoughts and the tense silence. I can't believe I was doing this, I could feel my mother smiling at me from the as I headed into to limo with my gamma by my side. "Good luck honey!" my mother called out, and I could hear my brothers and sister laughing at me, even though they were almost at an age to find a mate. Scoffing, I dived into the front seat, whilst my gamma took the driver seat, it was ten, we were late to the party and it would take another hour or so to get to the West Pack borders, all my unmated males and females had already left and it was just me and Gamma Gregory all ready to go for the long night of partying. Yay. The drive was long and quiet, the only interaction that I had with James was when he asked if we should stop for gas, but after that, we were both silent as I kept on mind-linking my beta to make sure everything was secure every five minutes or so.I trusted my beta to keep everything under control, but the nagging feeling my wolf gave me told me that I should keep checking up, rogues were around, so it was possible for an unseen attack. I rubbed my temples in utter frustration, these stupid gatherings for the unmated were the reason why my pack would lose a couple of wolves because of their mates, especially our females. As we neared the border, I couldn't help but feel unsettled, as if something was telling me something was going to happen tonight, I just knew it. I tried to sniff the air for something out of the ordinary, but nothing was coming up. And bloody hell, if someone asked if I could see anything, I'll pound them. My blindness was something I couldn't control, but luckily I gathered a sixth sense. I could feel when someone was staring at me, whether it be a male or female, I could physically feel it. I could sense where objects were as I walked, letting the vibrations of my footsteps be my guide and like how dolphins use echolocation, I could sense where I am stepping because the vibrations come right back at me, telling me how close the object was or how far it was. Hopefully, if Ifound my mate, she'll accept me and learn to love me so I could gain my sight and see everything that I have ever wanted. What did the sky look like? Was it as blue as they say it was? What about the sunset? Did it dance with colours or was it a boring tone? It was a never-ending cycle of questions, and obviously, I wanted my sight, then maybe I could find peace within myself. "We're here," Gregory said, he stopped and rolled down his window so the patrolling guard could recognise us and would let us in. I could feel the guard's eyes on me as he gave me a once-over, and I could almost sense his nod and he seemingly let us through without any argument. He made a whistle as we entered the pack lands, obviously entranced by the land's beauty, I couldn't see it, but I could feel how filled it was as I tried to sense the objects around us. "Alpha, it's pretty impressive, not as impressive as our pack of course, but impressive," Gregory commented as we stopped to a halt. I could hear the melodic music and sense other bodies surrounding us, it was a cheerful area. It smelled amazing, however overpowering at the same time. The arousals were heavy in the air, my wolf begging to be let out and take the women who were aroused, it was a delicious scent for all wolves. It was a calling of our nature, but I restrained my wolf. I was saving myself for my mate, that was all. I mentally told my wolf to shut up as we left the car, Gregory making sure the car was locked as I heard multiple beeps as I took long strides away from the car. Sensing Gregory's presence, I allowed him to guide me to the hall, which by the sound of people, was filled with unmated and mated wolves.
