Chereads / Misty's Splintered Heart / Chapter 4 - Almost Eighteen

Chapter 4 - Almost Eighteen

Tomorrow school starts. I am Toby. I will be eighteen this coming weekend. My hair is blonde and I have bright blue eyes. I am six foot one. My body is very toned, and I am on the football team. Currently, I am the next Alpha of my pack. That is why my birthday is so important. I hope to find my Luna. I know for a fact that my Beta's Jake and Jasper have not found their mates either. My parents told me to invite the entire school to a party so I hopefully will find my mate. The school that I go to has wolves, vampires, and humans. It is not very difficult to know who is who. You can just smell them. We have a rule at school that states there is to be no harm done to any human. I went to bed early. I want this week to fly by so that I can find my mate. As I laid in my bed, thinking how much everything would change when I find her.

I wonder what color are we going to paint our walls, what color bedding are we going to have? Does she want to start having pups right away, or does she want to wait? What names are we going to name our pups? How many pups does she want? I know I want at least two. I feel asleep hoping that I will find my mate this Saturday. I was having a wonderful dream. I dreamt that my mate and I found each other and we had one pup. We loved each other. Then my alarm went off.

I do not want to get up; I want to finish my dream. However, the sooner I start my day, the sooner the weekend will come. After I turned off my alarm and got up, I went to the bathroom. It sucked because I had morning wood. After I was done in the bathroom, I got dressed for school. Then I grabbed the invites for the party and put them in my bag and went out of my room. I live with my parents at the pack house. My parents try to be understanding about everything. I can talk to them about anything. My dad and I are very close. It is easier to talk to him than my mom.

That's just because my dad knows what I am going through, because we are both guys. I went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. My mom and some of the pack women made bacon and eggs with toast; I grabbed a plate and filled it. I ate my breakfast fast. When I was done, I washed the dish and kissed my mom bye. Then I headed to school. I am not a "player". My father always told me that if my mate was at school or in our pack and saw me with other women, then that could get me into trouble. Don't get me wrong, I think about sex…. a lot. But I see what it could do to a mate. It makes them feel unspecial. I want my mate to feel special. So I took my dad's advice and I am waiting for my mate.

It is very difficult when women throw themselves at you and when a non-mated she-wolf goes into heat. Even the humans go through a heat, which I did not think they did. After a human goes through their heat, they wear a lot of perfume, which I do not understand. I pulled into the school's parking lot and waited for Jake and Jasper to come. I know they are having a hard time since their mom died. I tried to help them, but like I told them, I never had to deal with a loss, so I do not know what they are going through. Knowing Kane tried to keep going for his sons, but even he had a hard time.

I do not know how I would feel if I lost my mate. Jasper and Jake's dad Kane are my dad's Beta. So, by default, Jake and Jasper are mine. I go to their house often, though. They have said they like living apart from the pack. I understand that. The pack house is crowded. But I get to play with all the pups. I love kids. Like I said, I want two, but if my mate will bless me with more, that would make me happy. I saw Jasper pull up next to me. I got out and waited for them to get out. They both looked upset.

When they got out and came to me, I asked what was wrong. They shrugged, but did not tell me. I am guessing it's about their mom's death. So I dropped the subject. I asked them if they were ready for practice today after school. They just said yeah. I am not understanding why they are so down when three weeks ago they were getting better. It may be because it's our last school year and their mom can't celebrate it with them. I asked if they could help me hand out invites. They said sure and asked who's all invited. I told them the entire school was. Great, here comes Leia. She is always trying to get me to have sex with her. It's hard to say no sometimes. I know she has slept around, so I know she knows what she is doing. But I have to keep myself for my mate. But hot damn, she is not wearing a bra. She has a tank top on, and I can see her nipples. She has a short skirt on. She is hoping that she is my Luna. I don't. Yea, I want to bang her, but I do not want her to be my forever. She came up and called me love. I told her to stop calling me that. I handed her an invitation. Leia said I should get used to it because she is going to be my Luna, anyway. I told her to stop saying that because she might not be.

I walked to the school. Jake, Jasper, and I handed out the invites. The school day dragged on. I ran into Jake and Jasper. I asked if they gave everyone an invite; they said they did. All the ones I had I handed out. Leia won't leave me alone. The amount of times I tell her I do not want her unless she is my mate is getting old. She offered to suck my dick. I almost caved. In the end, I told her to get away from me. I'm trying to do the right thing. It is getting harder though. Finally, school ended for the day. I said bye to Jake and Jasper. Then I went home. I saw the pups playing in the yard. I turned off the car and ran to the pups. For a while, I played with the pups. We were called in for dinner. After dinner was over, I sat down on a chair so I could talk with my dad. We talked about the next step I have to do when I find my mate. I said goodnight to my dad, then went to my mom and said goodnight to her as well. I then retreated to my bedroom to do some homework. I am not the best when it comes to school. I am a C student; I do the best that I can.

I took a shower, then got my pajamas on, then I went to my bed and turned on my alarm. I hope that the next four days go by super quick. At practice, I asked if the guys can help to keep Leia away from me. They all said they would try. If my mate is in the same school as me, I do not want her to think about anything. Leia kept saying that she is my Luna. My wolf Scar growled at her. He hates her. Scar told me that if she is our mate, he would reject her. He said he wants a mate, not a whore. I understand what he is saying. There are only three guys that have not slept with her. They are me, Jake and Jasper. She tried, but Jasper almost killed her when she touched him. Jake screamed he does not want fleas, then ran away from her. I fell asleep, remembering the look on her face. I should be more like Jasper when it comes to her. Leia wants to be Luna so bad, but she is not my Luna. I cannot explain it, I can just feel it. I think she wants power, so I am behind Scar on rejecting her if she was to be our mate. Tomorrow is another day. Another day that I am wishing would go fast.
