His Wanted Mate

Part 1:"12 years later.."

"Lana brekafeast is ready, please come downstairs!" Aunt Danielle shouted. "I'm coming, just a second!" Lana answered. Lana was getting ready for school she was in her 3rd year of high school near the village of Highseen where her aunt and she settled after a horrible tragedy that happened to their pack. Lana tied her hair in a high ponytail, wore bright high-waisted jeans, a black crop top and white sneakers.

Their village was mostly inhabited by young women with their families. These were women who had escaped from their packs, or small families who were actually human, aware that werewolves existed. That village was located not far from a kingdom ruled by the infamous and brutal Alpha King named Dareen. He ruled for a full 50 years, but now is the time for his only son Nicholas to take over the throne. Alpha Dareen was bloodthirsty and ruthless, after his mate was killed as they traveled and controlled the packs surrounding their kingdom. She left behind a son, of whom he was very proud and loved him very much. But he was a strict father, and he wanted his son to be the strongest wolf that ever existed, even stronger than himself.

Dareen invented the Mating Ritual 12 years ago. When his mate died. It was a Ritual in which Alpha's, Beta's and Gama's from all the packs in his kingdom went hunting one night each year. In the hunt for their mates. They would travel to the Highseen village, where exactly at midnight young girls up to the age of 17-20 would gather dressed as nicely as they could. It was like some kind of celebration, the girls would eat and drink, have fun until midnight then they would be sent into the woods, to be hunted by wolves. Their possible mates.

Some girls were terrified these events and some of them was happy about it, because in that village there were girls who were human and girls who were wolves. The catch is that for girls who are wolves, the first shift only happens when they meet their mate. If that night they find a mate they can shift into wolves.

Their mate would help them in the process. You can guess which girls were looking forward to the ritual and which were not. Human girls were terrified, they didn't want it, because those who was taken never came back, nor could they communicate with their families. Unfortunately this was the rule of King Dareen.

Either that or he and his warriors, who were the best in the world, would probably kill the entire village. it was their agreement, no one knew what was going on with these girls and how they would end up, but somehow they were comforted by the very fact that when you find your soulmate, your mate, you love her like nothing until then, and you just want to protect her and have her by your side. The thing is that only she-wolf girls could feel that connection, but human girls could not.

While Aunt Danielle was preparing breakfast, eggs with a bacon, Lana's favorite, she remembered Lana's 17th birthday is in a little less than a month, but a ritual as well. She was struck by the memory of the tragedy that happened almost 12 years ago, and the very fact that she would probably be left without the only member of her family in the Ritual coming their way.

Aunt Danielle's POV
《FLASHBACK》

After my sister told me to run as far and as fast as I could, I didn't think twice. My niece on my back, eyes full of tears, as she cried out for her mother, as if she knew she would never see her again. My heart broke to 1000 pieces. I ran through the woods as much as my paws carried me, trying to comfort our bumblebee, knowing that no child should experience something like this, let alone grow up without parents. I will never forget the cries and screams of my dear friends and family. As I ran down the tears welled up in my eyes. And to this day I have nightmares from that night.
The love of my life died that night, my mate. I still mourn him, I miss him. Thank God I knew a friend Manuell who lived in the village of Highseen with his wife and two daughters Laura and Sabrina. He helped us to hide for a couple of months and let no one know about us until the situation calmed down a bit. I knew they were looking for her, I knew the massacre was because of her, because of the girl with the silver hair and the green eyes..

I heard footsteps on the stairs, Lana was coming down, at that moment the reality hit me, I have to talk to my niece as soon as possible. "Are you ready for school? "
"Of course, Laura and Sabrina will pick me up." She replied.
"Bee we need to talk about something." I told her gently. "Of course Aunt Dani, is everything okay?" She looked at me worried."Yes yes everything is fine, we just have to discuss some things, you know my love."

"I know Dani, the Ritual is close and I tell you he won't catch me so easily." She laughed boldly. Lana already shifted to her wolf when she was 15, which is a miracle for a girl since girls shifts only when they meet their mate. Lana was a strong and big wolf. I was surprised when she first shifted. We have been training since then. I was a warrior in our pack, and a good warrior at that, so thats probably why my sister chose me to take care of her daughter. I teach her everything from attack, self-defense, avoiding obstacles, hiding, concealing your scent so that other wolves can't smell you, etc ..

Lana was becoming a strong wolf.
I gave her a worried smile, I saw her read my concern all over my face. "Aunt Dani, everything will be fine, don't worry, you know that when you're sad, Im sad." She told me kindly.My eyes filled with tears, I could barely contain myself from crying. I loved that girl so much, I didn't want to lose her, and I knew I had no choice. "My sunshine, you know I love you the most?"
" I know Dani and I love you." Beep Beep. The car was honking, which means Sabrina and Laura had arrived to pick up my bumblebee. "Take care, darling, we'll talk in the evening. Be good at school." I told her trying not to show my concern. "I will Dani, see ya." She said all happy. I heard how all 3 girls are laughing and in a good mood, and they are not even aware of what awaits them in a month ..
