Unexpected

Eric

I might be a different person with my mom but to others, I was a hot-headed and short temper alpha. I don't have many friends aside from my beta and my gamma who is always causing trouble somewhere in the park house.

As soon as I got to the pack , I was greeted by Philip by the door.

"Where the fuck have you been I have been trying to reach you all morning" he asked obviously fuming. Philip hated being ignored when he calls you.

"I was with my mom having breakfast and listening to her blabbing about me getting a mate" I told him angrily " I just need her to back off okay"

"Maybe meeting your mate might be good for you" Philip always believe in love, he always says everyone deserves a soulmate.

"I don't need a mate"

"Everyone does need a mate, in this life everyone needs to taste what love feels like" Philip is like me, he is mateless but very much optimistic.

Even when we turned eighteen years old and did not find our mates Philip still believes that at the right time and right place we are mates and it's going to be magical.

"I don't want a mate no scratch that I don't need a mate, I don't believe in the concept of love and love is never enough"

"Love is enough, you just need to meet your person to fall in love with and grow old together"

" That means I can go out there pick a random to fall is love with"

"No I didn't say that" Philip said angry that I am twisting his words.

"You did though, you said I just need love that means I don't need the mate bond bullshit"

"You do need the mate bond because ones you meet your mate everything feels right and you experience love in a large magnitude. You will love your mate so much that she will always come first, the first person you will think of every morning and the last person you will think of every night before you go to bed, she will fill your void and make you feel complete" listening to Philip is always confusing.

For me love is a transaction, a business deal more like trade by batter. It's an exchange of what the next person has to offer. You give and you expect something in return. People getting married because of money I understand, joining of two companies and even for sex.

Phillip will always say my theory is not correct because he believes when you love someone you don't expect anything from the person apart from love.

"Why were you looking for me"I asked him changing the subject, knowing Phil if we don't stop now we will go on about this all day.

"You know today is going to be our run"

"Yeah I know" I answered him wondering where this topic is going.

"Well, Stan the head of security and I went to check the border if it is safe to go the run this evening and we noticed some hunters camping outside the pack land border"

"Let's go check it out then" I said mind linking Sam to meet us outside. I need to blow off some steam.
