My name is Athan Buffay.
As the eldest son of the Alpha of the Full Moon Pack, I have known my destiny since I was a child. My people are everything to me, and I need to protect them and lead them. My father was a great leader and he told me when I was very young that I was born with all the necessary abilities to be an Alpha.
I had my wolf when I was 11, and at 15 I was able to beat the adult Deltas in the Pack on my own in wolf form. But powerful abilities don't just bring advantages. Since my wolf awakened, I have often endured violent and bloodthirsty urges that others can't imagine. I know, that's the pure werewolf blood in me.
To prevent myself from becoming a beast that only knows how to kill, I do willpower training every day. Whenever I was in a state of extreme violence, I would lock myself up and fight the wolf in my body alone.
When I was 27 years old, my father died of illness and I inherited his place by hereditary. But technically, I wasn't an alpha yet. Although the alpha's status is generally hereditary, by the alpha's son becoming the new alpha after his adulthood and mate, I have never met my mate.
Years of self-suppression made me unbearable for a marriage bound by a mate bond. Why are the werewolf's life pursuit is to find their own mate? Why for werewolves, mate bond must surpass love? I do not accept such fate. Since I can suppress my wolf by willpower, I can also find true love by myself.
Therefore, I have never tried to find my mate, and I am determined not to marry anyone at will just for the sake of reproduction. Sometimes I think, maybe I was born without my own mate,which was not a bad thing. I’d rather be single and lonely forever than marrying someone who only attract me because of the stupid bond between us.
Until that night, when I met her.
The day I was given a powerful hallucinogenic drug, the woman who had given me tried to use it to get me out of control and mate with her. I felt hot and irritable, and the energy in my body seemed to have nowhere to release. But the moment the woman touched my body, I felt a physical nausea. I pushed her away and rushed out of the room.
I ran without direction, shuttling through the trees. The night breeze didn't make me feel any better, and I felt dizzy and just about to be swallowed up by a strange desire.
Suddenly, I smelled a sweet like candy. The smell was looming, and I greedily inhaled, just wanting more. There was a small noise in the lavender flower field not far away, it was the smell of that person! In a trance, I heard my wolf's hoarse growl: "Athan, find her!"
My eyes have long been blurred, and my body is dominated by desire. That smell, I want more, I want all! I ran in my fastest speed, and within a few minutes, I locked her figure! Almost without hesitation, I grabbed the man into my arms. Her body was so thin and soft that I could crush her almost instantly. The moment I got close to her, I thought of the forbidden fruit that Eve stole, and the irresistible temptation nearly made me lose consciousness.
I put her in my arms, her lips were sweeter than her scent, I couldn't wait to touch her body, I wanted to have all of her!
"Athan, do you feel it? She is your mate, you were born to belong to each other..."
I murmured unconsciously: "My mate...my luna..."
"No...I'm not..." Her voice sounded so broken, I finally sobered up a little. I try to suppress my desire, no, I can't do this to a woman. I tried to stay awake, but my body wouldn't obey. I approached her unconsciously and kissed her. I realized desperately that I couldn't resist this bond from the depths of my soul.
The night breeze blows, and under the gentle moonlight, we were united together. I hugged her contentedly, and at that moment, our soul blended together, and I was no longer alone...
And since that night, the woman has disappeared. She seems to be just a dream I had. In the past five years, I have returned to that place again and again to find her, but every time I have returned disappointed. Sometimes I laugh at myself, maybe it's all just the effect of drugs, she's not my mate at all, maybe I've seen her long ago, but I didn't recognize her.
So when I smelled that familiar scent again, I almost lost control. The woman's body was weak and did not look like a werewolf. She trembled slightly when she faced me, as if she was about to faint in fear. But her eyes looked so firm, they were the same as that night.
I recognized her almost instantly, my mate.
And that was the moment I truly understand, my life can only be complete with her company. I looked at her beautiful eyes, and I realized that she was all I have been waiting for.
So if there is fate, then she is my fate.
