On your 16th birthday, it's traditional for you to be able to find your mate. You'd pick up each other's scents and meet each other halfway.

"Happy Birthday Emmy my sweet boy!" His mother had hugged him, so tight that he couldn't breathe. When she released him, she handed him her bracelet.
"Did you pick up her scent yet? I hope she's a blonde and loves to shop!" Emmanuel shook his head and looked down. "You'll meet her boy". His father wrapped his arm around his shoulder, "I was late too. She lived in Maine and I lived in Washington".
This gave the heartbroken 16 year old some hope. He went outside and looked at the sky. Imagining how his mate looked, he didn't care if she was a 1 (ugly) on the looks scale, as long as she was his.

In the middle of the night, Emmanuel and his team was alerted of a rogue on the property. "There's only one, so you deal with this Emmy boy". His friends slapped his back and walked past him laughing.

Emmanuel saw a small bony white wolf laying against a tree. It was struggling to breathe with a spear going through its chest, "shift". The small wolf saw Emmanuel and ignored him, closing it's eyes. "I said shift" Emmanuel picked it up by the neck.
In seconds, a small naked boy was hanging my his neck. The spear poked Emmanuel slightly in the thigh. "Please. Don't kill me". This caused Emmanuel to smirk, "why shouldn't I just snap your neck and burn your body?" He boy coughed up blood, "cause nobody. Wants to die".

The boy woke up laying on a metal table, his chest was bandaged and a blanket lay on his body. He tried to get up, but fell on the floor and cried out in pain.
Emmanuel was leaning over a table across the room eating a box of cookies. "What's your name?" "I-ian".
His vision focused and he sat up, "you're the fool wolf boy?" Emmanuel shrugged, "thats what some people call me. My name's Emmanuel though". "Nice to meet you Mannie".
He struggled to his feet, "why didn't you just let me die?" "You had a pretty good defense there. Couldn't kill you without reason".
Emmanuel sat outside in the rain muttering about his mate. "Hey you. Can I borrow some food and some clothes?- Your seeking your mate? You're 16?"
"Yes.... I haven't gotten up my grades, found my mate, and I haven't shown leadership. How can I become Alpha".
