                The Feral Mate        
    

                      RIVER

“Come on River, ditch this shitty pack and come to my pack, it’s stronger and a lot more fun” Pasha said, winking at me and putting his hand on my hip, pulling me closer, Pasha left the my pack, The Long Claw, a little over three years ago with his twin sister Petra, they are both insane, they are older than I was, they wanted to take me with them when they left, they were 19 when they left, I was only 15, my parents died when I was five, so I live with my Nan.

“Sorry but I can’t, my Nan needs me” “that old hag needs no one, crazy old lady” “that’s rich coming from you” “do you not remember when she hit me over the head with a frying pan, it hurt you know” “and why did she do that Pasha?” “I don’t remember” he said looking away, he knew, “could it have been when you told her you was going to mate with me when I was only 10” “yeah and it was a joke that she couldn’t take” “but then you kept going on about it, you told her every time you saw her” “Petra was worse than I was, she used to tell her that she was going to be mated to you and have lots of beautiful pups, she liked Petra more than she liked me” Pasha said pouted.

“That’s because Nan knew it wouldn’t happen with Petra” I said hugging him, I really missed him and his sister, “ok, just remember what I said about joining our pack” “I will think about it” “oh and when you come to the pack, I will mate with you” he said kissing my cheek, “what? So I can join your harem? Thanks, but no thanks, you have enough mates” “I only have two” “that’s one to many” I laughed “there’s plenty of me to go around” I gave him a quick peck on the lips and said “I'm going now, have a safe trip home, tell Petra I miss her” “will do”.

Walking back to the Long Claw pack house, I started thinking about moving packs, I would like to move but I know my Nan will never move with me, she always says ‘she was born in this pack and she will die in this pack’.

I had been thinking a little before Pasha asked about moving packs, the Long Claw pack is dying, I'm the youngest in the pack at 18, the next one that’s closes in age is 42, it was brought up in one of the meetings that I should mate with the True Alpha, but my Nan shot that idea down, Alpha Leo wasn’t too happy with the suggestion, he was well into his 60s, Alpha Leo knows the pack is dying, what life would I have?

We would be just mating for pups, then what? We will still be in the same position but with pups that cannot carry on the pack as they will be just pups and would still have to leave as they couldn’t find a mate in the pack.

“Hi Nan, I'm home” I shouted as I closed the door behind me, “I'm in the kitchen” no surprise there, Nan loves cooking, baking, trying out new recipes, “how are the twins?” “I only met with Pasha; Petra was busy” “is he still crazy?” “Nan, his not crazy” “so he didn’t jump off the roof thinking he was a Pterolycus, a flying wolf, yeah, sain is that one” “you need to forgive him some day, the twins have left the pack for three years now” “we will see” she said rolling her eyes.

“Nan, I need to talk to you about something, but I don’t know to talk about it without hurting your feelings” “is it about my cooking?” She jokingly looked shocked, “we all know that your cooking is the best around” “so, what is it? Spill” “it’s something Pasha asked me” “I will never let you mate with him” “no, it’s not that, he's asked me if I wanted to join his pack but I don’t want to leave you here alone” “don’t be silly child, you are young and have to live your own life and make your own choices, don’t worry about little old me, I've lived my life, now it’s time to live yours”.

“Will Alpha Leo be mad at me for wanting to leave the pack?” “I know he will sad but we were talking a few days ago about you” “me?” “He asked me to talk to you about looking for a new pack, I'm more than happy for you to go to Pasha’s pack, as long as you don’t mate with him, nor Petra” “I won’t, I promise” “I will call Alpha Leo, he will authorize it” “now? Tonight? That’s a bit fast” “the sooner the better, call Pasha to come and collect you” “wait, wait, wait, this is moving too fast, what if the new pack don’t want me to join?” “You are a very beautiful 18-year-old female Omega, of course they will take you, if they took the crazy Russian twins, they will take you, now, go and call Pasha then go pack some things to take with you”.

And before I knew it, I was sat in the living room, with Pasha sat next to me, luckily, he wasn’t very far away, his new pack was a five-hour run in Lycan form, Nan was in the kitchen, cooking Alpha Leo’s favourite dinner, waiting for him to come to give me my consent to leave the pack, I was nervous, this pack is all I have known, like Nan, I was born in this pack.
