Second Mate (completed)

My second mate

Kaden's POV

I am Kaden @ 20 the Beta of Silverstone Pack. I am quite handsom with 6-3 height, broad shoulders, golden hair and deep blue eyes. They say I resemble my father Dominic the Alpha but I think he is far handsome than me. At the age of 38 he is an epitome of perfection. He has the looks of a greek God with his Golden tresses, dimpled cheeks, smoky grey eyes, perfect nose, full lips, tanned skin and tonned muscles. I believe I have never seen a man more handsome than him in my whole life.

I am literally living in his shadow. Yet for all my weaknesses he loves me dearly and most; more than his beloved Luna, his second mate.

We run one of the most powerful packs in werewolf history. Our pack is respected and feared all across the Globe.

Like humans the were wolf world is also indulged in vices like Drugs, prostitution and human trafficking. The council of 7 alphas keeps these viles in check. Unfortunately some crimes are still legal in our system. One of these is that Powerful Wolves whose age is 20 or more who haven't found their mate or their mate is dead can purchase a human girl. At the night of 14th moon in the seven month of the lunar calendar a mate festival is arranged. It is the time when such deals are made. Human girls from all over the world are sold as second mates to the alphas and betas.

I am 20 and I am still mateless or so the world thinks. She abandoned me for power. Yet she is all I have. I still desire her.

My father knows nothing of her. 

I didn't know that he had plans for me. Its true you never know your parents, they are unpredictable always trying to match you up with someone.

It all started one day before the "mate festival" when I was sitting with my father in his study. George knocked twice to enter the room. Through my mind link I gave him permission. He was the gamma of our pack. His head bowed in respect for my father and then he addressed me

"Beta the human prisoners are here for the mate festival. They hail from all seven continents"

My father looked at me and said.

"Son although I don't like the idea of human sale but I think you need a second mate as you couldn't find one."

"Who needs a mate".

The luna Isabel entered the library. She was 25 but looked mature of her age. No woman rivalled her in beauty. She had emerald eyes, naturally red lips, small nose and heart shaped face. Her long red hair trailed down her back.

My father kissed her affectionately and replied

"This year I will purchase a second mate for my son"

She seemed genuinely surprised

"But weren't you against human trafficking?"

"That I still am but my son is 20 and he hasn't found a mate".

He replied. She looked at him for a moment and then said

"Perhaps it will take a few more years for him to find his mate"

My father seemed unsatisfied and said

" I don't think so. It is unhealthy to be alone bearing all the responsibilities he has. I think he needs a partner to clear his mind".

The luna ferociously said

"But what if he later on found his true mate"

My father replied

"I seriously doubt that. He is working as my beta since he was 16. In the past 4 years I have taken him to all 7 packs. He has attended their balls. He has even been to the prime ball where the eligible maidens from the whole werewolf community are invited. Yet he hasn't found his mate. I don't want to sound pessimistic but either his mate is dead or she is human".

The luna and I both were shocked to hear his justification but under the circumstances his conclusion was wise

He continued

"Whatever the case may be he needs a second mate. He has ALpha blood in his veins. I don't want him to lose control just for some primal instincts. I want him to be happy"

My father really loves me I thought. Guilt was killing me. All these years I thought he was happy with his own life. I didn't know that he was taking desperate measures to help me find my mate. He send me to every corner of the world, to every were wolf community, in order for me to find my mate. And here I thought I was performing his duties while he was enjoying life with his luna.

Luna seemed very furious. She tried again

" Alpha it is not right to buy happiness. Happiness comes in its own way. You cannot impose a mate on him"

"Yes I can, and I will even if you both disagree."

It was the first time my father went against Isabel. She was angry she pointed at me and said

"Speak, It is your chance. You can stop him from this injustice to you and the other girl"

My father growled and then raised his right hand

''That's enough. I don't want to listen any more. My decision is final".

At the Alpha's command I sighed and bowed my head.
