The preparations seem to be going in order. My friends have not let me live this down.
Oh here comes the Prince. Let all the fair maidens of the land present themselves to him.
I wrangle Ian's head into a hold but he breaks out of it and continues.
Oh fair prince would you be kind as to take my favour? I have been mooning over you all my life. He bats his lashes and pouts his lips.
Laughter erupts, even I hold my belly as I laugh.
Ian have you considered switching professions? I say in between laughs.
Why my prince, I will do anything for you. Even if it means becoming a cat. Meow, he forms a cat paw as he meows.
Hilarious dude.
You guys are the worst.
Finally, he is taking a Luna. We thought you would remain a bachelor for life.
Easy for you to say, you have been with your mate since you were 18 Zack, so shut it.
He grimaces.
I am sorry if I sounded insensitive, I of all people shouldn't have said that to you. I hope you can find her before time runs out. Placing a big hand on my shoulder as he offers his apology.
Honestly, I don't even know why you bother with finding your mate. This love thing is overrated anyway. Glad I am not Alpha, I can stay unattached for the rest of my life. My brother Cain says as he stretches himself on the couch.
What do you know, you are like what 5?
I am very nearly 18. He replies hotly. His face red.
Whatever.
My brother Cain is the surprise baby. I was well into adulthood when my Mom discovered she was pregnant with him. And ever since then he has been a pain in the ass.
I ruffle his hair
Hey!
What?
I am not a kid, stop treating me like one.
Okay if you say so.
So, my prince.
I look up to see Ian smiling wolfishly
I have seen that look before and it is not good. Whatever you are planning Ian. The answer is No.
Hey, you have heard me out.
I know you, I know how you think so NO
Come on, dude. In a few days from now, this place will be swarming with bevies of beauty. You only need to pick one. The rest will be devastated, that is where I come in. I will help console them while...
No! And that is final. During their stay here. They will not interact with males except those who are involved in the organisation of the tournament.
Do I make myself clear or do I have to see you off to your park?
Loud and clear. Gee
Zack sits next to Ian and he pokes him slightly in the ribs.
Are you sure she will come?. Zack begins gravely.
She has to. She just has to.
With my back to them, I look out the window as I watch my pack members move around in hurry because of the preparations.
I sent my invitations to all packs within the country. The old seer before she died 10 years ago, told me my mate is from this country. And how I have searched for her these past 10 years. You will think that as she had helped narrowed my search, I would have found her by now.
Clenching my fists.
She will come, I am sure of it.
