Chapter 21

Anthony's P.O.V.

"Mate!" I heard my wolf Franky said. Her scent was driving me crazy! She smelled of nutmeg and cinnamon. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Taylor was taller than Luna Lilith, she was about 5'7, light skin, a few freckles across her beautiful face. Long curly brown hair, skinny and curvy. She was Alpha Miguel's little sister. Taylor noticed I was staring at her so I looked away. I didn't know what to say to her, this was all too new for me.

In my father's pack, there was no such of thing as finding your mate. The only one who was allowed to keep his mate was the alpha. I didn't love my father; he was abusive to my mother in every single way. I even watched him kill my new born sisters, three to be exact.

After walking through the portal, following the group. I listened to Luna Lilith explain the plans for today before she walked away with the girls. Alpha Miguel walked over to me and put his arm around my shoulder. He was 6'9, I was 6'3. I was still too short so I had to look up to him.

"Have you found your mate yet?" Alpha Miguel asked me as we walked down the street. I don't think we had a destination in mind, just walking until we found a place.

"Honestly, I think I did today." I said trying to hide my face as I turned to look away from him.

"Who is the lucky girl?" Alpha Miguel asked smiling.

"I think her name is Taylor." I said looking down at the concrete sidewalk. Alpha Miguel stopped in his tracks before he let out a loud howl. He grabbed me and embraced me in his muscular arms.

"Welcome to the family!" Alpha Miguel said loudly. Then Beta Jason and Gamma Gary walked over to give me a hug. This was all so strange and new to me. The men in our pack were not like this, they were the complete opposite.

"Welcome!" Both Gary and Jason said in unison.

"You are not mad?" I asked Alpha Miguel.

"NO! My sister has been waiting for her mate for a while kind of like me but I knew who my mate was for years. Lilith is hard-headed and stubborn but I fucking love her. I gave her the freedom she needed. Eventually we were going to be together. It's nice to see that you and my sister are mated. I guess we both have mates that are so much older than us." Alpha Miguel said smiling as we continued to walk.

"How old is your sister? I know Luna Lilith is older than the oldest alpha." I said to him. My mother told me that the oldest alpha in the world was 700 years old but when a person see him, he looks no older than fifty years old. Alpha Valien lived alone in a secluded area in Africa. His pack was taken and sold off into slavery after he was killed by the grandfather of the Triple Kings. Apparently his enemies took advantage of his mate dying and attacked.

"Taylor just turned 30 years old in May. I know she looks like she is your age but silver wolves stop aging after we turn 21 years old. If you need help wooing her, I can help you." Alpha Miguel said. We followed Jason and Gary to a boutique they picked out for us to find some clothes.

Taylor's P.O.V.

A lost beautiful alpha is my mate. Beautiful light brown eyes, short curly black hair, full sexy lips and with well tone muscles. His scent caught me off guard as I watched him lead the seven boys with him through the portal. The smell of morning grass in the forest mixed with oak tree. I didn't think a man could smell so fucking good.

"Our mate is here!" Sacha, my wolf said jumping around.

"He is a baby!" I said to her.

"He is fucking gorgeous and hot!" Sacha said before howling. I turned to look away but I could feel his eyes burning into me. When I looked at him, our eyes met for a second before he turned away. I wanted to run into his arms, kiss those sexy lips and let him take me up to my room in the packhouse.

I was always a bit jealous of the other female wolves as my classmates found their mates among our pack. Shit! Even Cake found Gary! Jason was mated to Hera but I was alone.

"You will find your mate." Miguel said to me. But it was so easy for him to say that when he met his mate at seven years old! Plus his mate was the Queen of the Witches, he had all of eternality to wait for her. I was sad, I had given up and was thinking about going into the human world with Gloria. My sister was getting older since she had just turned forty years old a week before I turned thirty. Unlike Miguel and I, Gloria was showing her true age. Our mother was human, and Miguel's father fell in love with her even though my mother was a single mother of an eight-year-old girl.

From what Miguel told me, our father paid a witch to make a potion in order to get my mother to give him a child. Since my mother wasn't his chosen mate, she could not get pregnant from our father. He thought that he would get another son. Apparently, he was going to train his son to kill Miguel because he didn't like the changes that Miguel made to the pack when he became Alpha. And since he had went against the will of the Moon Goddess, my mother gave birth to me but she died giving birth to me.

When my father saw I was a girl, he literally abandoned me at the pack's hospital and Miguel took both Gloria and I in. My brother and the elders of the pack raised us.

"There is nothing wrong with you Taylor. Our father is just a piece of crap! But I love you for who you are and so does the pack. Don't ever let his choice affect you and stop you from being happy." Miguel said to me when I was thirteen. That was the first time that I saw our father. Our father has been around every few years but he ignores me.

"Fuck that old fart! We deserve to be happy!" Sacha said happily. She broke me out of my memories. She was right, our father was a piece of shit.
