The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter 4

Being an Alpha means that I must do things on occasion that I do not want to do, the Mabon Ball is one
of those things. I hate being surrounded by people, all of them trying to kiss up to the Alpha. I have a
strong dislike for fake people. I would much rather be running through the woods, patrolling my
borders, or training with my warriors. Unfortunately, politics demand that I attend this function.

I have been the Alpha of my pack since I was fourteen years old. My father and mother the previous
Alpha and Luna were murdered by rogues. I was one of the youngest Alphas and because of that I
pushed myself to be the best. I can say with pride that my pack is one of the largest packs in the north
west. We are also one of the strongest packs. I train my warriors without mercy. I also take pride in the
fact that we are one of the wealthiest packs. I push every pack member to excel in knowledge as well
as strength. Out of this many of my members are thriving business owners.

The Silver Moon pack is much smaller than mine, but they were chosen by the council to host this
years Mabon Ball. I really considered declining to attend, but my Beta reminded me that I am twenty
years old and have yet to meet my mate. This is a growing concern for my pack because an unmated
Alpha can become extremely dangerous.

Being a werewolf means that you have a destined mate, once you turn eighteen you produce a certain
hormone that can be smelled by your mate. This is how destined pairs find each other. Someone that
not only brings you peace in your human form but brings peace to your wolf. This is vitally important to
Alphas. The longer an Alpha goes without finding their mate the more aggressive their wolf becomes. If
unmated for too long the wolf will dominate the shape shifter, and rational thought will cease to exist.
Lately my pack has noticed that my patience has been thin. I am snapping at the slightest of nuisances
and it has everyone worried. It is now my mission to find my mate and restore balance to myself and
my pack.

“I don’t think they anticipated us arriving so soon Alpha.”



My Beta Theo remarks, and I am snapped out of my thoughts. Looking around at the Silver Moon pack
house I believe his thoughts are right. I see several pack members scurrying back and forth as if they
were unaware that we were coming.

This is a complete waste of time; I highly doubt my mate is in this place. They are unorganized, and
completely unprepared. I use my mind link to speak with my Beta. Werewolves have excellent hearing
and I prefer not to say my words aloud.

They are a small pack, perhaps they did not know that we would be arriving early. Let’s try to give them
the benefit of a doubt and make a good impression. Theo mind links back to me. He is right
unfortunately. Although they are a smaller pack, the Silver Moon pack are one of our closest neighbors
and allies. Which means I need to be on my best behavior.

As we arrive at the pack house, Theo steps forward and announces us. Theo has always been my
Beta. Unfortunately, the night my parents died, his died as well. We have trained together ever since,
and he is the closest thing to family that I have. Our grief bonded us together and he has always been
a shoulder I lean on when needed.

“Alpha Caleb, may I present Alpha Jason and Luna Amanda.” These words are spoken by what I
assume is the Beta of this pack.

“Alpha Caleb we were not expecting you so soon” Alpha Jason says.

Theo can tell that I am already irritable, so he speaks for me.

“We arrived early to see if you needed any help with the preparations.” I can always count on Theo to
act diplomatically. He has made it to where it seems like I arrived to help.

“Yes, it is very great to finally meet you Alpha Jason in person. Please forgive our early arrival.” I am
finally able to speak gently.



“It is no problem at all, truly we are delighted at your arrival.” As she is speaking the Luna places he
hand on my arm and instantly my wolf is growling. I hate to be touched.

“Well please come in and we will get you settled.” The Beta’s voice stops me from snapping. The Luna
removed her hand, and my wolf settled down instantly.

I followed them into the pack house, and I was pleasantly surprised. For a smaller pack, their pack
house was a decent size, and it was delightfully clean. I loved the wooden tones, and the coordinating
colors. Who ever decorated the pack house knew what they were doing. The Luna was offering to give
a tour of the house, I was searching for a polite way to decline when once again Theo saved me.

“We appreciate everything you are doing for us Lune; however, we have had a long journey and would
appreciate if someone could show us to our rooms.”

“Of course I will take you there myself.” I was surprised by the Luna’s words. Usually escorting guests
to their rooms would be the role of the Omega. I was just relieved to be away from so many people. I
hate large groups, small talks, and pretty much anything I deem to be a waste of my time.

The Luna led me to a wonderfully decorated green room. I noticed immediately that it was pointed to
the south which was great because it meant that I could look towards my home. I immediately opened
the French doors and the windows so that the breeze could infiltrate my room. There was a unique
smell in the room it was very faint but even my wolf took notice. This was a scent that stirred something
with in us. Soft subtle pine musk, with hints of rosemary and gladiolas is the best way that I could
describe this scent. It was a mesmerizing scent, that made my wolf purr.

Could this be the scent of my mate?
