Runaway Mate (Part I)

[ In Golden Moon Pack's Mansion ]

~~~ Alcyd's POV ~~~

I wrap my head around the paper works piled in front of me. My Beta and Gamma, Garrett and Oliver, are in front of me busy strategizing and talking about Pack business. I really do not care right now what they are spouting.

No matter how much I try to focus and concentrate on my obligations which I have to accomplish at the moment, I cannot stop thinking about my mate. I cannot stop thinking about her condition. Especially how stubborn and reckless she has been.

I take a deep sigh and rested my back on this couch of mine. I am so deep in my thoughts that even my adviser, the Minister that was assigned by my father, has kept rambling things about pack stuff, business, and royal court obligations while my other executive officers are busy strategizing and brainstorming about a lot of pack stuff but here I am being drowned in the thought about my mate.

Initially, I thought that having a mate is only a step or a necessity that I have to do for my long-term goals and plans.

Never in my dreams that I would feel this way towards her. I have underestimated the pull of a Mate. This kind of feeling is a new territory for me. The feeling of spark and butterflies in the pit of my stomach are feelings that I cannot explain.

'Well! I can explain it to you boy! It is because she is someone destined for you. Someone that our divine creator has made as your better half that will complete you. She is someone that we both deserve.' Kratos interjected while I was contemplating about my mate and my principles.

Looks like my thoughts were too loud for him not to notice.

'What the hell are you talking about? She is not someone who will complete us. She is just a necessity for my plans and goals! I know I may have no choice for the matter in terms of determining who should be my mate is but at least I can set my own path and utilize things that I have.'

'Yeah! Try convincing yourself about that boy. But let me tell you now, You cannot stop something which is destined for you. Destiny is something you cannot play with or predict. It is something that operates beyond our imagination and control.'

'Well! Watch me control my own destiny. I will not let her ruin my plans I have laid for my future. SHE WILL BE MY INSTRUMENT, THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE in the chessboard for my plans and goals.'

'hahaha! I cannot wait to see you fail in trying to think that way and see how you will swallow all your words. Just remember this, If you do not want to suffer in the future, treasure our mate and do not treat her crap, or else I am warning you. I will not support any of your foolishness when it comes to our mate. Our mate is perfect! And we are lucky that we are blessed with a mate like her.

Have you not seen how breath-taking her beauty is? Even if she is angry or sleeping, her beauty won't stop radiating and flowing. You can see all the glow around her. I thank our divine creator for this blessing! So you better show your gratitude and offer some prayer to our divine creator ! . . . .' Kratos will not stop admiring our mate.

My spirit wolf, Kratos, has become love-struck and won't stop mumbling about how excited he is for both of us. He is clearly so overjoyed and jumping all over my mind. I push him aside because he is not helping at all in my current situation.

I need to get back to my paper works and discussion with my Executive Officers.

Caleb is with Athena and Jane in the Hospital guarding my mate while Theo, my Delta, is pre-occupied with checking our weapons in the Armory. Jackson seems to be out on Patrol with some other warriors who are assigned to patrol. So, right now I am stuck with my Beta, Gamma, and my assigned adviser.

"Prince Alcyd? Are you even listening? I know you are the son of our Alpha king but you need to put your mind on track." my adviser asked as if he is unconvinced with the attention I portray.

"Yes, I am! So stop hampering me about it." my Beta and Gamma seems to be unconvinced because they know exactly what is going on inside my head right now. We never told my assigned adviser about me finding my mate.

Only my executive officers and my most trusted medical staff know that I have found my mate and I put them on a tight leash about keeping this between us only before we formally complete the process of Mating.

The process of becoming COMPLETE MATES goes through first with Marking. Finally when both of us are ready, then we have to consummate our mate-ship. I know for a fact that I am ready for it and definitely Kratos is even more excited than me but looks like I will be having a difficult time earning my mate's trust if she is so stubborn like this. I need to make her realize how important we complete the process of becoming mates.

We have to complete the process of mating then I can start introducing her as my mate and as the future Luna of the Golden Moon Pack.

This is the pack where my mother grew up and belonged before becoming the Queen of the Kingdom.

My father made me take over this pack because there is no other better Alpha that will lead this pack beside the son of a former Alpha of this pack.

My mother was the very first female Alpha that led and won over a war against the Rogue Werewolves during the Dark era of the werewolves.

No wonder my father fell in love with her and offered her marriage.

So it is only right to say that I will be the one who continues the legacy of my Queen mother.

My phone starts to ring and it is Caleb. I wonder why Jane is not connecting with me through our mind-link and Caleb has to call me instead. I know for a fact that Caleb may not have the ability to connect with me through mind-link when the distance is too far.

Though, I assigned Jane there, the mate of Jackson who has keen tracking abilities as well, because from all the members of the Executive Officers she has the farthest range of ability in connecting with me through mind-link since she has keen abilities for her senses.

I wonder why Caleb has to call me instead and not make Jane reach me through the mind-link.

The moment I answered the call, the words that came next made me rage and made me crush the phone that I was holding.

"HOW IN THE WORLD THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL ESCAPES AGAINST YOU ALL !!!!"

I was not able to contain my anger and threw the phone against the wall. One thing I am not proud of is my temper of course. My adviser, Beta, and Gamma are quite startled with my sudden outburst.

If my mate was able to escape and fend off against Caleb and Athena then she might be really strong. I want to be proud of her prowess but now is not the time to think about her strength and other qualities.

I need to figure out where will my mate go and how to locate her.

'Ask the trouble makers! Ask those two Rogue Brothers!' Kratos, my wolf suggested something that was totally right.

My adviser wants to stop me from barging out from the office but he knows best when not to interfere with what I want to do and when not to annoy me especially my face shows so much anger.

Only my best friend, my Beta, can have the courage to ask or even deal with me during my bad mood. "Where the hell are you going now? What made you so angry and you had to crush that poor phone?"

"Someone escaped and I am going to interrogate the Rogue Brothers on where will be 'OUR INJURED FRIEND' headed to right now." My Beta understood immediately who I was referring to. I was trying to be vague since my adviser is not aware that I found my mate and I want to keep it under the wraps as possible.

Garrett seems to be worried about his mate. I can see his look trying to mind-link with his mate.

"Garrett! Oliver! We will be going to the dungeons. I have to speak with the Rogue Brothers."

Those Rogue Brothers better answer me or else, not even the Moon Goddess can protect them from my wrath.

Just wait, my mate!

I will find you soon and you will regret your actions for running away from me.

Oh, my beautiful mate! you better be safe.

Where ever you are, you will not be able to hide nor run away from me, I will find you.

This, I swear to you!
