Chapter 2: Mate

Hunter

“Hey, what time are we leaving to head to the Alpha’s daughter’s party?” Lucas, my Beta, asks.

“Do you mean what time are we heading over to Alpha Carter’s party? Or do you mean what time are we heading over to Alpha Amelia’s party?” I ask my Beta, my tone sharp. “They have names. You should know them and use them.”

It’s an uncalled for response and I know it, but I hate these parties. How any Alpha can find his mate and then share their first encounter with everyone in the room is beyond me. If anyone were to see my mate like that, I’d kill them. I don’t care if that meant I had to decimate every pack in this world. I don’t share. Never have, never will.

“Come on, Alpha. You know I didn’t mean it like that. It’s the way it is,” Lucas says.

“Maybe it shouldn’t be the way it is. We consider ourselves an advanced species from the humans and yet they ended this ridiculous practice centuries ago.”
