''Alpha, will you be joining us for breakfast?'' Desmond asked aloud trying to get the attention of his best friend who seems to be in a hurry to leave.
"I need to be alone." Brian the Alpha of moon park replied to his beta with a frown.
"So early? dude, you are always lonely and withdrawn." Desmond mused.
He was already tired of having this conversation with his friend but this stubborn Alpha wouldn't budge.
"Am not ready to have this conversation with you. "Brian said as he reached out for the food flask containing his breakfast, he didn't enjoy sharing breakfast with his family, he preferred to be alone.
"You need to go and find her I will...I mean we'll help." Desmond mused with concern laced in his tone.
Brian needed to urgently find his mate, he was changing for the worst, he is suffering from paranoia and constantly transferring aggression to everyone around him but the most annoying part of everything was that he didn't want to find her, he didn't want his mate and he was determined to live without a mate.
" I don't need your help to find my mate I don't want one and if she finds me, believe me, I will reject her."Brian scowl.
" You will cross paths very soon." loveth chipped in.
She was Desmond's mate and wife, she had been sitting quietly watching the scene that has played out times without number; a scene of her husband trying to convince his best friend to search for his mate, she had the gift of vision, her mother is the seer of moon park and she would one day replace her.
Loveth had a vision of Brian meeting his mate on his visit to blue moon park, his beautiful mate. The gods blessed her with such a gift that whatever she for told came to pass except for that one time she got it wrong, what Brian still uses to call her a flash seer.
"Oh, really the fake seer has spoken yet another lie. "Brian said, looking intensely at loveth whose eyes were filled with tears now.
"Brian if you keep speaking to my mate without respect I will forget we are friends Alpha." Desmond stared at him with narrowed eyes. His mate was a very emotional wolf and it broke his heart whenever she cried, if Brian didn't value the mating traditions he did and he valued his mate.
"Loveth am sorry I...I... didn't know what came over me. " Brian explained feeling guilty for his actions, he stretched his hand to reach her but stopped halfway when he looked into Desmond's threatening eyes.
Lately, he had been attacking her because she always said he would meet his mate soon but he knew there was a limit.
"You should leave Brian I thought you wanted to be alone," Desmond said in between his teeth he knew challenging Brian wasn't a good idea but he couldn't help it whenever Brian disrespects his mate.
Brian walked away from the dining area of their large mansion, the park house he needed to get his nerve under control to avoid more fights with his beta.
Moon park house was considered to have one of the largest park houses, it was built by all the available park members even before Brian was born it had more than eighteen rooms excluding the dining area and the two living rooms, the mansion was huge and wasn't empty brian's uncle used to leave there before he and his wife went to Paris for vacation.
His wife was half-human so she didn't have a problem leaving the park unlike her more traditional husband but he wanted to please his wife so he agreed to the vacation thing.
Brian's cousins lived with him and his beta's family as well he was never alone but always felt lonely.
Brian's father was the Alpha of moon park he loved his mate so much that he could not live without her, she was his everything and the reason why Brian doesn't want to find his mate, he didn't want to end up as his parents did...
-FLASHBACK-
Many years ago when Brian was only twelve a war broke out unlike the usual wars between parks, this one was a different kind of war, between moon park Wolves and a herd of minotaurs; minotaurs are half human half bull-like creatures of the enchanted mountains.
They claimed moon park had something that belonged to their mountain god and it was on the moon Park soil and they wanted it back, Ben was the Alpha of moon park then, he was open for negotiations so he permitted one of the minotaurs to search the park soil, he knew minotaurs were temperamental creatures and they could emit smoke from their nostrils that was as hot as the heat from a volcano and it even had the same toxic effect.
Ben needed to avoid war at any cost he couldn't afford to lose his park members to war because for something that could easily be avoided, thankfully his mate Dora went to visit her maternal grandmother who was from another park.
His beta and brother Alan supported him even if a few hothead park members said it was a show of weakness on their part Ben stood his ground. The minotaur searches every inch and corner of the park but didn't find what he was looking for but he was sure it was there but has been moved, and this means war.
Ben informed his mate not to come back because of the war, the minitads were powerful and had toxic smoke and their horns.
Ben had a very limited amount of omegas in his park so it was easy to hide them away in a secret underground safe house along with his son Brian, though the little one said he was ready for battle Ben could only chuckle sadly he's boy was going to be a great Alpha someday.
Ben wished he could see his mate one more time but he knew she was safer where she was.
He proceeded to the outskirts of the park territory with his best men, Alan consulted with a witch that gave them a potion that temporarily suppressed their sense of smell so the battle would be some worth fair.
They assembled all the warriors of moon park shifted to their wolf form cause they needed the instinct.
To their surprise members of black moon park shifted and joined them Ben had asked their Alpha for help but he didn't want to lose his warriors to minotaurs so he declined but now his people are here fighting alongside them.
The minotaur's commander ordered them to charge at the park of Wolves but first, they filled the air with their black toxic smoke to finish them off quickly cause they were not aware that the werewolves hindered their sense of smell even the members of black moon park did same the minotaur's sight was hindered by their smoke so the wolves took advantage and attacked them.
Clawing out their hearts since their vulnerable parts were their human part they attacked with such precision like an elite park of werewolves that they were.
The minotaur's commander figured out their strategy and commanded his army to stop releasing the smoke and attack.
He was up high so he got a good view of the battlefield the minotaurs kept on increasing as the numbers of wolves slowly decrease, this was because of the wolves speed they were very swift but the minotaurs had the numbers slowly the battle became more bloody as it was now three minotaurs to one wolf, Ben and Alan fought bravely but they knew sooner than later they will fall.
Ben just said a few words in his heart to his mate even though she couldn't hear him" I love you very much Dora hunt and am sorry."
Through their mind link, Ben could hear many of his men send messages to their mates this was surely the end for them...
BUT suddenly Ben heard a voice he knew too well scream out loud.
"Stopppp!I have what you seek. " Dora said with tears in her eyes she came there as fast as she could.
After the seer of her grandmother's park saw her park fall because of the jewel on her neck, yes the park gifted her with a jewel they found recently for her goodness to her people, a purple diamond-shaped jewel was going to be the end of her pack, she couldn't just sit back and watch she asked her a wizard friend of hers to amplifier her voice so she could save her husband and people from destruction.
She screamed to get the attention of everyone but as soon as the minotaur saw what she had they rushed towards her.
Ben hurried to his mate but to his surprise, Dora placed the jewel on a flat Rock a had another rock in her hands. " I don't know the worth of this jewel but any step closer and I smash it!"Dora threatens as she motioned to smash the jewel.
The minitad's commander came forward and made her an offered she couldn't refuse, a peace treaty that would be forever between minotaurs and werewolves but she had sacrificed her life to appease their mountain god, she agreed to follow them, afterward Ben, and the commander made a blood pact. Unknown to Ben she was a sacrificial lamb.
