Lycan William's POV
Lycan Williams had decided to stay away from the pack house for a while. After the death of his late father, Lycan Williams 1, the elders informed him that he had to find a mate and assure the pack of an heir. That was the rule laid down by his very own Father and it was just so ridiculous.
"I wished that I could tear them apart with my bare hands", he said but knowing that it was going to cause a revolt in the pack and other surrounding packs under him, he decided otherwise.
"But to make things even worse for me, I am yet to find my mate", he said and took a deep breath.
And because of this tension that was going on in the pack, he decided to leave for a bar. Maybe it was going to help him chill off and at least cool down his nerves.
When he got to the bar, he was so drunk he had a one-night stand with this strange lady.
He got up slowly from the bed that he had laid with a slight yawn that escaped from his mouth.
He hated the fact that he had to return to the pack house now. He got down from his bed and began to dress up but then, he began to perceive a really strange scent that made him pause for a while.
The scent was so strong and pleasant that he could not help but continue to sniff.
Then something really strange that changed the course of his life happened. "Mate! Mate!" His wolf yelled out inside of him.
He could not believe it. The mate that he had always searched for all this while turned out to be the Lady he had sex with.
He could feel his heart beating so fast that it felt as though it was going to burst out.
He stared at the bed, he could see the nightgown she had worn from where the place was scattered, it seemed as though she had run away from the place in a hurry.
He drew over to the garment and he sniffed it tightly. His heartbeat seems to go even ten times faster than usual.
Lycan Williams had not felt anything like this all his life. But then, a thought that made him shiver hard crossed his mind.
It was cool that after such a very long time, he had finally found his mate but the big question now was, How he was going to find her because she was gone and he could not even remember what exactly she looked like.
He took a deep breath.
"What am I going to do now?" He thought to himself.
"But one thing was sure, I could never give up on finding my mate and I am going to go to any length to make sure that wherever it was that she had gone to, I was going to find her."
He started searching for her but nobody seemed to know who she was and where she came from.
"So you are trying to tell me that you don't know where that lady came from?" He yelled at the bartender with so much frustration and exhaustion in his voice.
"I don't know, Lycan Williams, I think that this is the first time that she is coming to the bar." She replied and he threw her off the floor almost immediately.
She had nothing useful to tell him. Lycan Williams turned over to the Beta of the pack immediately and he bowed slightly before him.
"Lycan Williams?" The words shot out of his mouth.
"I don't think that there is any need to talk to this lady here but I want you to do something really important. I want you to search the whole pack for any information about her and I want you to come up with something positive before midnight." He shot out the words from his mouth and he bowed.
"Okay, Alpha Williams." He returned and noticed that he turned over to the pack guards with an over-serious look hanging on his face.
"Come with me." He ordered and they began to walk away silently from Lycan Williams.
He turned around slowly from the place, and returned to the pack house to rest after a long day.
He could not wait to be reunited with his mate and feel the warmth of her skin after such a long time. It was going to be the most pleasant experience that he would have all his life.
"And one thing is sure, I am going to love her and take her as mine." He thought to himself
But then, a thought crossed his mind. "I had always been known to be a ruthless Alpha, so I did not know if she was going to see me in that vein and reject me as her mate."
But he pushed the thoughts away from his head almost immediately. It was just too impossible.
"I was the Lycan king of the pack and no one would even dare to Reject me," he muttered.
He drew a really deep breath again and soon, he was in the pack house.
While he continued to walk over to his room in the pack house, he heard someone calling to him behind.
"Lycan Williams, Lycan Williams!" The voice kept on ringing in his head and he had to turn around to see who it was. He noticed that it was one of the servants in the pack house and his face twisted into a frown almost immediately.
"What would a common servant want from me?" The thoughts kept on ringing in his head as he stared right into his eyes.
"What is it?" The words shot out of his mouth.
"I am sorry to bother you Lycan Williams but the council of elders has been waiting for you for over an hour now and they want to see you urgently." They mumbled and his lips broke into a thick sneer.
"Those bunch of old fools again. I was beginning to wonder what it was that they wanted from me again this time.
Tell me that my reign is over or what?" He muttered.
"And what did they say that they wanted from me again?" He shot with so much hate and disgust written all over his face.
"They didn't say anything, Lycan Williams, they only noted that they needed to see you urgently." He reaffirmed.
He knew now that there was absolutely nothing that he could do. He drew out from his route and walked gradually to the meeting ground to hear whatever it was that they wanted from him again this time.
When he got there, he noticed that they were already standing waiting for him.
"Lycan Williams." They greeted him but he didn't even bother to return the courtesy this time.
"And what is it again that you want?" He Inquired.
"Lycan Williams, we are running out of time and you need to present your mate so that you will be crowned the Lycan king. A lot is.." The chief of the council wanted to continue but he stopped him from saying anything further.
"And why are you acting as though you care? I am tired of having this chit-chat with you guys. This pack was passed on to me by my father and you know what, I don't care what contract he signed but I am going to continue from where he stopped." He fired.
"But Lycan Williams, you know better than what you are about to do." He noted.
"Then try to stop me and wait for me to tear you apart into shreds." Lycan Williams threatened and stomped away from the place.
While he continued to walk to the room, he noticed that someone was standing by the door and he was pacing up and down.
"And who could that be again?" He thought in his head already getting tired of all the drama.
When he got there, he noticed that it was his Beta.
"Lycan Williams." He greeted, immediately their eyes crossed.
"Any news about my mate?" He inquired while he continued to stare right into his eyes, watching his expression closely.
"I was able to locate her but it seemed as though she was a slave for one of your Gammas from the information reaching me." He explained and Lycan Williams clutched his hands with so much anger.
He could not believe it. The one that was supposed to be his mate was the slave of one of his lowly servants.
"Spit out the name and I am going to make sure that I slice his throat in half," he growled.
