Chapter eight

Mia’s pov

I giggled my way into my room for some well-deserved sleep, the looks of shock and horror on everyone’s faces making the prank all worth it, and they ask me why I love Trevor so much.

Shutting the door behind me, I went to finish off my homework because who wants to do homework on Sunday? Tomorrow is going to be way too busy to look at school work and I will be nursing a hangover on Sunday.

It took me two more hours to finish everything off, I was so tired, I literally dragged myself to bed. Getting under the covers, I let my eyes wander outside, looking out the window as a cool breeze blew through the open window. I sighed, feeling a little ache in my heart.

Even though Trevor had reassured me that he would always be there for me, I knew it wouldn’t be the same. He would find his mate and will be all wrapped up in her and forget all about me, not that it was a bad thing but losing him and Britney would just be too painful.

I would be left alone, “you’re never alone, I’m here and will never leave you, and you know this” Violet said wagging her tail, making me smile at her comforting words, “and when we find our mate, we’ll be all wrapped up in him” I said, making her yip in happiness.

Sleep finally consumed me, feeling slightly better after my small interaction with my wolf.

I got woken up by someone jumping on my bed and screaming, “goooooood morning sunshine”, making me groaned and pull the covers over my head, “get out of my room!” I groaned, cursing the big oaf on my bed.

“Oh no you don’t” Trevor said yanking the blanket right off of me, “it’s my birthday, now get up, you are going to help me search every corner of our pack grounds until we find her” he said poking at my sides.

“You do realise that every girl in the pack is going to be in the pack house, trying to see if they’re the next Luna or not, right?” I asked, opening my eyes to glare at him, only to find a goofy smile on his face, urg, goddess, take me now.

“Where’s the fun in that” he said getting up and pulling the entire blanket off of my body, I want to kill him.

“Come on, go shower so we can eat and take a little walk, no training today” he said going to sit at my table, “a little privacy would be nice” I said sitting up, “the bathroom has a door, so much privacy” he said with a satisfied sigh.

“And what about when I have to get dressed?” I asked with a raised eye brow, I didn’t have a walk in closet like he did.

He got up without saying a word and walked up to my closet, pulling it open, he rummaged through my clothes until he finally pulled out a white tank top, black skinny jeans and a denim jacket.

“Want me to pick your under wear too?” he asked with a smirk and I glared at him, “sit back down!” I said getting out of bed.

I took the clothes from him and opened my drawer and picked a blue lace thong with a matching bra before marching to my bathroom.

“Make my bed!” I groaned before closing the door to take a shower.

Trevor’s pov

I made Mia’s bed while she showered and I couldn’t help but notice her scent, it was still the same just a bit sweeter, in a subtle kind of way, guess people’s scents change as your wolf matures.

I caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar car rolling up to the pack house, must be one of the girls from a neighbouring pack. I groaned, moving away from the window, why are they here so early?

It was shortly after I finished making Mia’s bed that I got linked by my mom to come greet our guests who’d be joining us for breakfast. I told her I’d be down in a minute, I was waiting for Mia to finish her shower and she cut off the link after that.

“You might want to hurry and finish up, the first of our guests have arrived” I called to her as I heard the shower turn off. “Already? Damn they don’t waste time” she laughed from the bathroom and it sounded different, I liked it.

She came out of the bathroom fully dressed and we made our way to the dining hall, time to meet a potential mate.

I truly thought it would excite me but it didn’t, my wolf wasn’t even paying attention.

“Good morning family” Mia said with a goofy smile, to which her dad frowned, rolling his eyes. “Oh, come on dad, you can’t still be mad at me about yesterday’s prank” she said with a laugh, “yeah, come on Mika, it was a joke, twisted as it was” mom said glaring at me.

Holding back at laugh, I smiled at her and went to kiss her cheek, to which she smiled and ruffled my hair.

“Look at how grown you are, just yesterday you were play fighting Taylor’s siren in our pool” she said with a teary smile.

“Now he’s about to find his mate and take over the pack” aunt Taylor said coming forward, “happy birthday Alpha” she said giving me a hug, handing me six plane tickets to New Haven, making my eyes bulge.

“you’re welcome to come spend summer with me and my pod, your friends too, I know Mia will love to train with sirens” aunt Taylor said and before I could hug her, Mia launched herself at her, “thank you, thank you, thank you!” she screamed while hugging aunt Taylor.

“You’re welcome sweetheart” she said laughing into the hug, I hugged her too, thanking her after peeling Mia off of her. “You’re the best aunt Taylor” I said kissing her cheek.

After a few more birthday wishes, we finally made it to the dining hall for breakfast.

I immediately noticed the unfamiliar faces, especially the blond girl that was looking at me with a bright smile, which fell almost immediately after we locked eyes. Not my mate.

I sighed and went to take my seat on the table as mom introduced us. I wasn’t really interested because she wasn’t my mate but I had to be nice, they were allies and I was future Alpha.

“It is a shame that this alliance won’t be bound by marriage but our children are not mates and it’s not like they can just take each other as chosen mates. But you are the goddess's chosen, maybe you could make an exception” her father, Alpha Henson, I believe, said in a suggestive tone.

I hadn’t really been paying attention to the conversation so I can’t say how we got to choosing mates but it was not going to happen, I wanted my true mate.

“As beautiful as your daughter is and I’m sure she would make a great Luna, I want my true mate and Luna by my side Alpha” I said. Making eye contact with the Alpha, I needed to make sure I got my message across.

“I agree” Madison, the Alpha’s daughter said, surprising me a bit, “I also want my true mate, to feel the bond with no boundaries, to be with my intended” she said, a small but genuine smile on her face and a dreamy, faraway look in her eyes.

Her father huffed but let it go and we continued eating.

Wade made his way into the dining hall, sitting beside Mia, which irked me for some reason and I couldn’t even brush it off, Drew was extra attentive.

As everyone at the table engaged in conversation, I couldn’t help but notice the whispering between Wade and Mia, what were they even talking about?

Mia giggled at whatever Wade had said and I wanted nothing more than to rip him apart, I wanted to know what he said to make her laugh like that, he can’t make her laugh, she’s mine!

It was at this moment that everything in me froze, what the hell? Did I just say Mia was mine? Where were these thoughts even coming from?

I don’t think I’m the smartest person alive but I also know for a fact that I’m not slow. It came as a shock when I didn’t realise it sooner, her scent, how sweeter her voice sounded, how possessive I suddenly was.

Mia is my mate! Mia is my mate! Mia is my fucking mate!

I don’t believe it, how? And why can I sense it now? She isn’t eighteen yet so I shouldn’t be able to tell or feel the slightest anything towards her.

Could it be because I’m an Alpha? Most probably because I'm a descendant of the goddess but what do I do now? Do I tell her?

Goddess help me, Mia is my mate.
