Lucas's pov :-
I was literally feeling bad for David right now , he waited for her mate long enough . Maybe she's already marked or something . Maybe she's a rogue and it will be nearly impossible to find her and further I don't know what dad will do to her if she's a rogue. The way things are going my father is definitely gonna get him a mate soon.
"Let's here the suggestions Kate, since it's David , considering his rank and blood line I want a strong she-wolf for him , who can at least bear him one or two pups so we don't have to struggle to find a future beta " my dad said casually.
Sir Benjamin's face fell down for a minute but he quickly recovered.
Ah can't he take people's feelings into account for a second but that's my father we are talking about so .
" If Mia was older and she had a mate who was capable enough I definitely would've considered making him a beta but we have David now and I don't think he's replaceable . Now Kate continue " my father continued again.
" My first suggestion would be Roxanna , she is a warrior and a good one . She isn't that smart but she is a good fighter and she turned 19 , it was7 months ago when she was made a warrior and she's still mateless and I am 90% sure she will agree if I ask her or David asks her himself . But if you don't like her that's fine there's no pressure what so ever" miss Kate said hurriedly.
Roxanna for David , I don't like it but miss Kate is right in that she'll agree to be David's mate and she's a good fighter .
" I'll think about it Miss Kate thank you for your help " David said stoically.
" If you have someone in mind do tell us maybe we can convince her if you can't , don't mind asking for help" miss Kate said genuinely.
" She's right David ,I trust your choice if there is someone in your mind I will talk to her and her family " my father offered.
We discussed some pack matters , a joint operation to attack a rogue territory with the help of Blue Mountain pack .
" Since I am gonna Visit blue Mountain pack soon , why don't you join me David .Some of our pack members got their mates from Blue Mountain pack and their pack members got mates from our pack too. I got my mate from Blue Mountain maybe you should give it a try too " my father's voice held sadness at the mention of my mother.
" Yes Alpha" David nodded.
Our meeting was brought to a halt when heard a loud shriek from outside . We all got to our feet and ran outside .
Audrey's Pov:-
We all had fun in the woods and now we were heading back . James and Mia were now walking in front with me and Anna a bit behind .
" So how long have you and Mia been friends , are you guys childhood friends like James and her" Anna asked.
" Nah we aren't childhood friends but damn I wish we were because my childhood would have been more awesome . Me and Mia became friends almost 6 months ago at the training fields and the rest is history " I smiled.
" Wanna tell me the whole story I am sure it's interesting . " Anna said and I chuckled
" It is , it sure is and I will tell you once I become the pack's warrior . I will invite you and you can hang out with me and Mia and we'll tell you the whole story and how I beat the warrior Roxanna and.... " I stopped because Anna had stopped walking .
" Why did you stop Anna ?" But she was just staring at me with an expression mixed with confusion and happiness? I guess I couldn't quite make sense of it . I snapped my fingers in front of her and she finally came out of her trance .
" Earth to Anna" I said
" I am sorry I _i just didn't know it was you " she said
This girl isn't making any sense man. Then she took my hand in hers and shaked warmly ,
" It's a pleasure to finally meet you , I have heard about you a lot " she continued
What is going on here Artemis made an appearance.
Beats me I minlinked back.
" So who was the other girl with you that my brother took on those morning runs . I am so sorry he put you through a lot " Anna said excitedly
I just didn't know why she was excited but I answered her question," it was Mia , the other girl "
" Omg it was you two you poor souls . Why couldn't I make it out earlier . Actually he never told me the names he just talks about you two a lot . But when you said you beat Roxanna that's when it hit me because brother told me about that and ..." Anna was blurting things out without taking a breath
What beta told her about me and Mia. Omg he would've told her how we disrespected him I cried inwardly . Now she will hate me too.
I don't think she hates you she looks so happy to meet you. I wonder what he told his sister about us Artemis intervened.
Before I could ask Anna something we heard a loud shriek . It was Mia's.
I don't know what took over me I instantly ran in the direction of Mia's scream . I tried to min-dlink her but she wasn't responding .Anna was far behind me she was having trouble keeping up . I reached and saw Mia squirming on the floor while James was beside her .
" What happened " I yelled
" She's going through her first shift . She's resisting it due to pain that's why it's hurting more" James said worried .
" Call her mom ,James " I said sitting beside her and taking her hand in mine.
" A-u-drey ," she said squirming in pain.
" Don't worry Mia it's gonna be fine just focus on shifting" I said to her remembering what mom said to me during mine .
" Pl-ease g-et my d-ress o-ff , it's -a gi-ft fr-om mom a-nd dad " she screamed again .
Oh oh I get it she doesn't want her dress to tear apart that's why she's resisting it . I saw sir Benjamin and Alpha Rob running in our direction.
" Everything is fine she's going through her first shift " I said and when I saw Miss Bethany I explained the situation to her and she mindlinked her mate and the guys left.
We took Mia's clothes off and then she relaxed after that cracking of bones could be heard and there was standing a big beautiful wolf with light brown fur same color as Mia's hair in front of us .
She was looking down at herself and wiggling her tail.
I mindlinked her ," are you fine now , how do you feel"?
" Great Audrey , I really want to go on a run right now " Mia mindlinked back
I guess we should call James then I said to her .
Miss Bethany patted her wolf Saber and after a while everyone was gathered around her and she was standing proud . James and Mia went on a run while I left with mom after bidding everyone good bye. I hope Mia had a great time.
Mia's pov:-
After taking a long run with James we returned to my home . I mindlinked mom and she brought us some clothes.
" I kept my promise are you happy now James " I said smiling.
" I am " he said giving me a toothed smile.
When the Millers bid me goodbye and left I saw Lucas alone in corner on his phone while Alpha , father and mother were discussing something. So I walked towards him as today was the day I was finally gonna ask him the reason of cold glares,
" Lucas " I said slowly,He looked at me up and down.
" I just wanted to ask if I have done something wrong or hurt to in any possible way because I don't know why you ... W-hhy you gl- I mean look at me like that . Do you h-ate me?" I said looking down waiting for an answer . I half expected him to leave or get busy on his phone with out answering me .
Lucas' pov:-
Shit ! She noticed . No matter how much I tried I couldn't hide it . But if I truly think about it putting things aside she did nothing wrong to me . When we were kids , both my mother and father used to like her a lot I guess that's when it all started , I really don't want to say it but I was probably jealous of her then . Our families were close so she used to visit
a lot .
I don't know when this all turned to jealousy and then worse . When someone told me she is cordial I told myself she's presumptuous , when someone praised her I told myself she's an attention seeker and a comment whor* but then my life came crashing down when mom down and I forgot everything.
But then that day when she won and my father praised her I hated her although I knew she didn't do anything wrong . I hated I hated her until I couldn't hate her anymore because the more I got closer the more I realized how wrong I was and then I hated myself. She's just a nice person that's it .
I know my father still likes her at least enough to acknowledge her .
I just stared at her for a bit , hurt and confusion evident on her face . She deserved an answer and so I did , " I don't hate you Mia and I am sorry if I made you feel that way " .
She sighed like she had been holding her breath, " Thanks Lucas , I thought I did something wrong and I really wanted to correct if I did hurt you in any way but I am so relieved now thank you so much. Well leave it I know it wasn't much but did you enjoy the party! " she said smiling.
I couldn't help but smile she was already moving on man . I really did like it here . I was never a people person but everyone here was really nice . I honestly enjoyed talking to Mia and Audrey as there was never a boring moment in it , " I enjoyed it "
We talked for a long time and for the first time after so many years I was laughing like crazy.
" And that too remember when you fell face first in cow's dung " I said laughing.
" Come on stop it I thought you had already forgotten. It was so embarrassing honestly " Mia said .
Father told me we were leaving so after saying goodbye bye to everyone we left.
And trust me after that day things between me and Mia didn't remain the same.
