The Alpha's Famous Mate |Rewritten

Chapter 7

Alec's POV

I am so behind on my Alpha duties and responsibilities that it is actually quite a big concern. Which is why I haven't had the chance to go to school since it started on Wednesday. Yet, it always feels like my attempts to catch up on my duties are futile. As soon as I finish everything on the list there is an influx of new responsibilities coming in, it's starting to become a little bit too much for me to handle on my own. I'm man enough to admit that I need help, and lots of it. I pace my office trying to come up with a suitable solution. The easiest solution would be to find my mate. Having my Luna around to lessen the burden and responsibilities of ruling a pack would ease everything up. My pack members may even settle completely. They have been a little tense since I came into power. I stare through the window behind my mahogany desk, looking out onto the pack grounds. I see a few pups playing together, tackling each other to the ground before they burst out laughing.

The influx of work has been so great that I have been forced to ask my twin, Ava, for help on the odd occasion. Which isn't always as ideal as it could be. Ava means well, but she gets on my nerves with her need to fill the silence with conversation or silly questions. Which leads to none of the work I've given her being done correctly because she doesn't actually pay attention to it. Which ends up being double work for me. But like I said she means well, I know it's not intentional.

I sigh, dragging a hand over my face. Deciding that a distraction might be a good idea I push myself off of my office chair and walk out of the office only stopping in my bedroom to grab my car keys. Which only causes me to sigh again because of the current state of my room, it's disastrous. For some reason, probably due to Ava's insistent babbling, I know that the renowned 'Aubrey Elizabeth' has a concert rehearsal open to the public today. I can't say much about her or her music because I haven't really gotten any time recently to listen to anything, but against my better judgment I decided to check out the rehearsal. For some odd reason after making that decision I can feel nerves brewing in the pit of my stomach. In my mind's eye I watch Kayden pace back and forth anxiously, which is odd for an Alpha wolf.

I simply shake my head as I get into the driver's seat of my car, shoving any negative thoughts and my body's odd behavior aside. My only hope is that 'Aubrey Elizabeth' is as great as everyone makes her out to be. I'd hate to spend the only break I've taken in days to be wasted on a mediocre singer. Ava is always raving about her music, which may or may not be one of the reasons I've been hesitant to listen to any of her music. Because as far as twins go, Ava and I are generally polar opposites on most occasions at least.

Placing the car on, I drive off away from our beautiful pack house in what I affectionately call the love of my life, my white BMW i8.

My thoughts are cut off by my very obnoxious wolf who rolls his eyes at me and mutters, "How on earth did I get stuck with this idiotic and overbearing human?

In return I roll my eyes right back at him. Now I'm idiotic and overbearing but he's none of those things when he chases random animals around in the forest playing a stupid game of catch whatever moves.

Choosing to annoy my wolf further I answer with, " I wonder how someone like me got stuck with such a simple wolf who can't even appreciate the beauty of my magnificent car."

Kayden growls out in return, "Your car means nothing no matter how 'magnificent' it is if we don't find our mate."

Knowing that a greater argument is afoot, I block Kayden out. He is right no doubt, but his argument will turn towards blaming me for not trying harder to find her. A task that is a little bit difficult when I am responsible for an entire pack and cannot leave said pack alone while I take a couple of weeks to go searching for my mate. No matter how much I really want to, it would be irresponsible of me to do so. Yet, knowing all of those things doesn't change the fact that I know without a doubt that I will be nothing without my mate. I shake my head attempting to clear it of all the negative thoughts I've had today. Instead I focus on parking my car and after that simple task I walk into the rehearsal venue.
