Chapter 2 Not Mia

He flinched. "Ehmmm... I was with Leland." He lied, choking on every word.

He could see the figure move toward him slowly. He stood there frozen, expecting what was going to happen next.

The figure was only a few feet away from him, when he suddenly brought out a very bright touch light shining it into Adam's eye.

"I got you." Mathew the next beta of the pack and Adam childhood friend let out a loud laughter.

"Shuu" Adam responded quickly, covering Mathew's lips with his finger "alpha mustn't see me like this." He said as he reached to switch on the bulb.

"Yeah, your father will definitely kill you," Leland said, moving to the couch at the other side of the room.

"Where are you coming from?" Leland gaze travels from Adam's head down to his toe. "And you smell a lot like sex," He said with a playful smirk on his face. "That was why you couldn't pick my scent." He chucked.

"What are you doing here?" Adam asked.

"You forgot.... We were supposed to take care of that douchebag that making us move?!" Leland sounds like he just heard something unbelievable.

"Calm down, you don't have to be loud," Adam said, cold but calm.

"You know? Since you are the responsible alpha son, who is suppose to carry out all the important assignments." Leland shrugged, doing the quote sign with his fingers.

"Can we move?" Leland asked

"A minute." Adam replied, moving into the bathroom.

In less than 5 minutes, Adam came out putting on a black T-shirt paired with dark ripped jeans.

"Let's move." Adam announced, in an icy alpha tone while loading his pistol, pulling up his strict emotionless face.

Leland jumped up without hesitation. They walked down the hall with Leland behind Adam like a right hand man.

Their cold aura could be felt across the room. "alpha." Everybody they came across greeted, bowing down at a 90 degree position.

As they walked out the gigantic wooden door, "Son." Joe, the present alpha, Adam's father called.

He walked out up to his father. "Father," he said, bowing, "we are on our way to take care of the media guy," he said, pulling up the most cold professional face.

"I didn't call you to talk about that," he told Adam, searching his face for only God knows what. "Have you found your Mate?" He asked, grinning.

"No dad," he replied, his head falling. "Why?!" His father snorted, "You need to find your mate as soon as possible," he said disappointed, "I plan to retire after we move. And we can't have an alpha without a mate, you need a luna son, as soon as possible before your wolf fades." Joe said in a very firm voice.

"Yes father." Adam said slowly, before leaving his father to meet Mathew.

"Is the car ready?" he barked at the two 17 year old boys cleaning the black tinted jeep. "Ye..ss yes.. alpha" one of the boys replied, frozen in position, horror was written all over their faces.

He got into the car, with Leland driving. They drove deep into the thick forest.

"Could she be the one?" Adam thought. "No," he shook his head. "She is mortal. A mortal cannot be my mate or a luna" his face was laced with worry, "but I felt something" he was still thinking.

"alpha!" Leland called out, tapping Adam, "Jezz, what's wrong with you today?" he asked, looking at Adam with worry.

Adam quickly wiped his face with his palm. "Let's get this over with." Adam replied, jumping down from the car.

"alpha." Some set of hefty men already waiting to welcome them greeted bowing.

"Where is he?" Adam asked, "The torture room," one of the men replied with a very strong voice, the smell of alcohol lingering on his breath.

Adam moved toward the massive house, it was their pack house at Oxland. The villa nested deep in the forest is a massive five-story building in a large place, built to fit up to hundred people at a time with plenty of rooms and space.

The symbol of the Moonnight pack was carved on the huge white front gate.

Adam followed by Leland and the other men moved to the last room on the first floor.

A bald man in his late 30's was on his knee, his hands were tied to the back. Blood dripped from every hole on his body.

"I'm sorry, please."The man said, coughing, unable to lift his head.

Adam lips curved into a wicked smile. "How long?" he asked, playing with his pistol.

"I'm sorry" the man repeatedly struggled to speak. "How long have you been spying?" Adam asked again, growling in annoyance.

"3 months." The man said sobbing "I promise, it won't happen again, i will leave this town and disappear forever" the man added very fast shaking, fear written all over his body.

Adam chuckles, but his laugh didn't reach his eyes; he looked like the devil.

"It won't happen again?" Adam asked squatting in front of the man, he used one of his fingers to lift the injured man's face staring into his eyeballs.

"I told you never to return once, do you remember?"Adam asked

"But what did you do?" He stood up and chucked. "You went to tell the fvcking media, do you have any idea what you caused? You little shit" He snarled loudly, hitting the man's face.

Growls filled the concrete room and reverberated into the man's chest, his heart pounded furiously.

"He will make good meat for the training wolves," Leland said, smiling. "Too bad we don't eat mortals Adam" he added

Loud gunshot was heard. The man fell to the ground, blood gushing out from his heart.

"Pack him for the training wolves." Adam said walking out the room.

******

Leland drove Adam back to the mansion in town, Adam was staring outside the window thinking throughout the journey.

Pictures of the previous night flashing through his head. He was angry he didn't get Raina's number. " I need to find her, I'm missing something" he thought.

As they drove into the mansion, "MATE!" Adam inner wolf said in his head, taking him by surprise.

Immediately he got down from the car, he was hit with the sweetest smell of vanilla he has ever smelt.

"Mate! Mate! Mate!" His inner wolf called struggling to surface. "My mate is near." Adam said struggling to control himself "Raina?" He thought.

He held onto his chest and made his way into the large living room where his mum was sitting with her best friend, another member of the pack.

"Is everything okay Adam?" Adam's mum, The present luna, asked. Before Adam could reply, Mia the luna's best friend's daughter came out from the kitchen with a glass of water and her other hand holding her chest.

Immediately Adam laid his eyes on Mia, he felt the spark of electricity rushing through his body. "Mate." Mia growled and smiled.

His eyes shot open instantly. "No, no," Adam said repeatedly. "Never, not Mia," he said. "Mate" his wolf repeated "Shut up, that can't be our mate, the moon goddess must be mistaken" he barked at his wolf storming out of the living room.

"Adam, we are not allowed to reject our mate" his mother shouted at the top of her voice.

"No, not Mia. Not the pack whore." He thought as he left the mansion in a hurry.
