5 Mates?

"There!" Keelyn who has just finished tending to my wound exclaims.

I look at her with wide eyes. That is the loudest I have heard her speak since she's been in here. She must've noticed my reaction as she blushes, but as quickly as the blush came it faded. She became serious again as she started putting her items back in her medical kit, "your wolf should be back sometime tomorrow. As for now..." she trails off and grabs a needle out of her kit and looks up at me sadness glistening her eyes. "Master ordered you to be sedated after I cleaned your wound."

'Of course, he did' I think to myself as I roll my eyes. "You mentioned wanting something in return for telling me what you did..." I trail off and notice I have her attention "what could I possibly give you that you want while I'm in this state?" I move my arms allowing the chains that bind them to make rattling sounds as the individual loops hit each other.

She thinks while biting her lip before continuing, " a mate. What's it like?"

I didn't expect her question, in all honestly it hit me hard. My mate. What I would give to see him again. A sigh escapes my lips when I open them to begin telling her, but I'm interrupted before I can even begin by an angry shouting voice who doesn't seem close.

"Healing mutt! How long does it take to stitch up a fucking wound! Am I keeping you alive for nothing are you seriously that useless!" it sounds like Jackal, my suspicions are correct when she replies in a scared tone telling him she was finished and was getting ready to sedate me.

She looked at me pleading and I shook my head, I understood. If she didn't inject me he would most likely kill her. Especially since she hasn't shifted yet. I wonder what he's going to do to her when she does finally shift. I close my eyes adjusting my body against the cold wall getting ready for Keelyn to inject whatever is in that syringe into my veins.

She carefully sticks the needle into my arm and whispers, "I'll be back tomorrow, you can tell me then." I hear her quickly gather her supply's and scurry off. I am once again alone in this freezing cold dungeon. I slowly drift off into sleep, halfway thankful for being sedated otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Dream

"Good morning sunshine." Cooed my mother, the packs Luna. I groaned as I sit up and throw a pillow at my mom, satisfied after I hear her dramatically say ow I snuggle back into bed and doze back off to sleep.

"Wakey Wakey Pumpkin Baby." This time it's my father, the Alpha. Groaning once again I throw my last pillow at him and snuggle back into my pillowless bed. Suddenly I hear a growl erupt from somewhere in my room, choosing to ignore it I try to go back to sleep. I silently think to myself 'why can't a girl just sleep in on her birthday?

"Okay, you lazy ass! Time to get up!" My father yells as he yanks the blankets off the bed. He quickly grabs me and tosses me over his left shoulder and begins to walk downstairs. "It's your eighteenth birthday and seeing as the mood goddess blessed both your mother and me along with the Beta family with both girls, so you Edeen, are going mate hunting." Grimacing I nod, in packs the Alpha and his mate, the Luna, are in the top of the pack. The Beta and his mate are second in command. If the Alpha doesn't have an heir it would go to the next strongest line being the Betas. However, in our pack the Beta is also a female and there lies our problem. The she-wolves normally leave their pack and join the male wolves. In rare cases, normally only with omegas, males join the females pack. So my dad is hoping me or our Betas daughter will be mated to a High rank so they can come and take the Alpha spot in my pack. If I'm mated to an Alpha, well that's his decision on what we do, if I leave my pack for good or if our packs join together as one.

"Fine," I grumble, my dad's idea of going mate hunting is dragging me from pack to pack we are allied with to hopefully meet my mate. That means meeting all the unmated males of four different packs. After my agreement, my father and mother left my room leaving me alone to get ready for my trip. I grab a gray hoodie throw on some jeans, I leave my honey blond hair down, and throw on some black eyeliner before slipping my black socked feet into a comfortable pair of furry boots.

'Get out there and find our mate Edeen.' My wolf hisses at me.

I mentally shrug her off, she's moody today and I can already tell it. Essentially pms-ing over finally being able to potentially find our mate today.

'I heard that! Don't forget we share the same Conscience, so help the goddess if you fuck this up for us I will go so far deep into your mind you won't be able to shift for a month.' She growls at me and mentally stomps her foot at me. She's right though, she's the reason I'm able to shift and if she goes on strike that'll be bad for me. I'd essentially be a human without her.

Four hours later and my father and I have only visited two packs. I met all the unmated wolves and didn't feel a thing. From what I'm told you just instantly know, and that didn't happen for me. Surprisingly I was slightly upset about not finding my mate, and slowly losing hope as we neared one of our closest allies The Moon Stalkers.

I let out a long breath as we arrive at our destination. Cecilie stirs in the back of my mind, "Mate is near." Hearing her say that gets me slightly nervous so I start playing with my hair, my father who's sitting beside me must have noticed as he raises an eyebrow at me. When I tell him what My wolf says he gets as giddy as a school girl and almost physically bounces out of his seat as we leave the car.

" Alpha Wyatt has been expecting you." We're welcomed by one of the members from the pack. He's a smaller build, has no facial hair and appears to be roughly 16. He motions for us to follow him and leads us deeper into the pack territory. Trees fill the entire area and slowly begin to dwindle out as we near the packs clearing. There's an outside area with training dummies and a small tan shack behind them. A few feet away is a huge pack house that looks as if it houses the entirety of its pack unlike ours that only houses the alphas, betas, and deltas everyone else lives in their own homes.

The young man leads us into his pack house and it's huge, there's a big open area as soon as you walk in. "Stein!" Howls a husky manly voice. I slightly twitch with irritation. Who is calling my father by his name instead of addressing him? When my eyes finally meet the owner of the voice I am left in awe. He has tan skin, dark brown hair and bright green eyes. A bright white smile that could leave you blinded, his gray shirt flows effortlessly around his toned body. I'd be lying if I didn't find him attractive.

"Wyatt, my boy. How are you?" My father greets the man he called Wyatt. My father looks at me as if he forgot I was there and quickly mentions me, "this is my daughter Edeen, Edeen this is Wyatt the alpha of this pack."

Wyatt's eyes meet mine and we both stared at each other as we simultaneously spoke at the same time, "Mate."
