"I am ashamed of my words" Olcan took back his words after his father's reminder
"look son, it has been long and might take longer but you can't give up on looking for her, you need your mate not only for yourself but also for the clan and the throne" he paused a bit
"you might have been appointed as the Sovereign Alpha but the ascension is not complete without a Luna. we need her now more than ever" He had a lot to say but Vuk couldn't bring himself to say it. he didn't want his son to make a rash decision so it was best to keep them to himself.
Even when his father didn't disclose anything, Olcan could tell there was tension in his voice "okay father I've heard"
"good good, take care of yourself and please reduce your numerous flings, aish I'm embarrassed for your mate, you should save her some face you know?"
'sure as long as he saves me the stress of running up and down looking for her'. Olcan murmured in his head. since he started looking for his mate, he had travelled up and down to many places and had turned to a party freak just because he keeps organizing parties every now and then to see if by any chance his mate would attend.
"mmm I'll try"
He bared his father's nagging for a little while longer then finally the call came to an end. The other guys immediately burst into laughing.
"Olcan I seriously don't envy your life" Rexitt the blonde-haired youth said jokingly.
"me neither" the rest chorused
Olcan snorted "My life would be just fine if father was not so pushy about finding my mate"
another guy called Marzen said "I could reckon with why reverend Alpha wouldn't drop the topic, you're the Sovereign Alpha, a Luna is more important to you than she is to any other Alpha"
"It's a matter of balance" said Ernouf the brunette
Olcan looked agitated, he down the glass of wine in his mouth "balance? isn't a mate being overrated now?"
playfully Marcus said "aish it's hard to explain, don't worry, when you find your mate you'll understand"
Olcan rolled his eyes at them, he knew they were only just rubbing the fact that they had mates in his face. Among the five of them Ernouf, Marzen and Marcus had found their mates leaving out Olcan and Rexitt. Rexitt case was different because the was bound to be mateless by the moon goddess as a punishment for his father who had killed someone else mate.
maybe because they both didn't have mates, this two were the potential Playboy's of not only their group but also their school.
"here comes the latest Gamma in town" Rexitt said and all of them turned to look at the door.
The door opened and a handsome gold-haired boy walked in, he had a small grin on his lips and an inexplicable sense of nonchalant oozed from his being.
"hehe Gamma Jacob how have you been?" asked Marcus
"well alive I guess" the boy called Jacob answered back.
"you look more than alive, you're practically glowing" Marzen; Marcus brother joked
Olcan asked next "How is life as a Gamma?"
Jacob kept quiet for a few seconds like he was contemplating what to answer. after thinking his lips parted and he said "Very bothersome"
Marcus shot him a reproachful look and clicked his tongue "Tsk Tsk, you're complaining when most people would jump to be in your shoes".
they didn't stop there but they all took turns teasing him. They have been friends since they were little, although they got separated by distance for a couple of years, the six of them still got along very well.
Marcus and Rexitt were the talkatives of their clique, like Rexitt and Olcan were the playboys. Marzen, Ernouf and Jacob were the cool guys. Apart from Marzen and Marcus that were twin brothers, none of them were blood related again.
"Jacob quick tell us, have you found your mate?" Rexitt asked.
Jacob could guess where he was going to yet he smiled and replied "Nope not yet"
"It seems we got one more member" Olcan joked and they all laughed to it, especially when he and Rexitt had stood up to give Jacob a welcome shake and hug to their singles group.
"ok so as a single, you got any girl you like? or should I say girls?"
"I_" he was going to respond but then his phone suddenly rang, they watched his expression turn gentle and a playful smile crept up his lips. There was only one scenario that would make a guy have that expression on his face and that was when he was in the presence of a girl and not just any girl but a girl he liked or respected.
"woah oh!" they cheered teasingly
