Chapter 19

After the shit show that went down between Sophie and that prick and all that business with meeting my mate, I struggled to get myself back into any kind of party mood which made things a nightmare. Add in the wanna–be future Luna’s that I had to talk to and I think it’s safe to say that the night was a complete right–off. I ended up being introduced to 23 She–Wolves open to chosen mates and not one of them did a thing for me. I don’t want my own mate so why the fuck would I want a fake one? 

“You do want your mate, you’re just being a stubborn prick about it!” Storm has been an absolute nightmare and I get it, I do but he’s getting too much. “Not gonna stop!” I go to give him a shitty comment back but it’s pointless, he’s not going to quit. 

Although I will give it to the wolf, he was great at putting off the She–Wolves that we were talking to. We may not see eye to eye on the situation with our mate but we’re definitely on the same page when it comes to not wanting any of them. He managed to scare off 21 

‘y shit is of the wolves instantly. One of the women was more resistant but eventually, Storm got rid of her too so that just lef 

that girl a nightmare. 

She’s only 21 and hasn’t even met her mate yet, she’s more than happy to give up that chance to become an instant Luna. She was incredibly forward and honestly made my skin itch. Her look showed me that she loved herself and her body language screamed money chaser. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for women having confidence but what I can’t stand is someone who thinks she is better than everyone else. No matter how pretty someone is, an attitude like that instantly makes them ugly. 

I growl feeling frustrated as I drag my tired ass into bed. The moment the ball appeared to be somewhat over I got my ass out of there and to my floor for a shower and bed. I was going to head to Sophie’s to check on her but Shane said he would and I was honestly too tired to argue it. I wanted to come back to unwind but my mate’s face was all I could see the entire time that I was showing and now as I lay in bed I can’t help but wonder how Alpha Stone will react to how Storm and I treated all of those see–wolves. Yes, Storm was the one to treat them badly but I didn’t try to stop him either. 

“Alpha, are you there?” A loud voice booms through my head making it rattle. It’s 1 am and someone is mind–linking me… this isn’t going to be good. Great, just what I need. 

“I’m here.” I sit back up knowing I’m going to be called to my duties any second. “Alpha, it’s Maverick. I’m on guard duty on the north side. Lewis and I have just come across two women in the forest. They said that they were here for the ball but decided to head out to the 

forest before bed. 

“Ok, so what’s the problem?” Wolves often go for a walk or run during and after a ball to wind down. He’s seen more here or he wouldn’t be linking me. “Alpha, they are wearing leggings, tee–shirts, baseball caps covering half their faces and they both have backpacks 

with them.” Great! 

“Bring them to my office.” He lets me know he’s on his way while I drag my ass out of bed and throw on some gray joggers and a white tee shirt. I chuck on a pair of socks and then link my brothers to meet me in my office. Shane doesn’t answer so I decide to wait and see if I need him first before calling him. He’s with Sophie and she could still be upset and need him more than me right now.
