Arash's POV

While I could easily do without the six months of winter that follows, fall is my favorite season for many reasons, including: bonfires, hoodies, football, delicious comfort foods and the pretty landscapes that come when the leaves change colors. That crisp, clean air ushers in so many fun activities. My favorite "fall pastime" is probably the Pumpkin Parties my friends and I throw each year. Those Parties are legendary. Last year I was so drunk I almost slept with Lydia. I would have never forgiven myself. Nothing personal against Lydia, she is a very pretty girl, but as a general rule, I do not sleep with people I see daily. It's all fun and all till one's mate comes along. The thought of a mate makes me sad.

Mates are very important for Wolves than other Supernaturals. Witches, Vampires, Elves and all the rest can live their lives without a mate, but not wolves. A Wolf can never feel whole without their mate. I feel myself getting weaker as the years go by. Only my Father knows about me getting weaker without a mate. I am known as Arash the vicious future Wolves king, but now look at me. How can I take the throne, if my Father decides to step down? 

I'm turning 23 today and still no mate. That is one of the main reasons why my father is still the King instead of me. The Elders and my Father's advisors are always telling him to step down and hand the tittle to me. They all think I am old enough, but they are not aware of my situation. Father is afraid to tell anyone because he thinks someone might use it against me. Other Alphas might challenge me for the throne. That is just how things work in the wolves' world.

I just lay in bed, my mind racing. Why can't I find a mate? Someone I can just fall in love with and be loved in return. That is the one Question that has been going through my mind for so many years. As this runs through my mind, I begin to picture the perfect person for me.

 "A guy shorter than us, but not too short, handsome, but with great personality. Thin, but not weak and he must be faithful and caring. Long blond hair, pale skin, soft skin but hard muscles at the same time, plump lips to die for." my wolf, Zeuss dreamily said to me

"Easy there Pup. What do you think you are doing?"

"Describing the most perfect person for us!Ash don't call me Pup again, I'm the Alpha"

"What will you do if I call you Pup, big boy" I tease him

"Calling me Pup means you are a Pup yourself" Oh that was a comeback and he is right too. 

"Wait what? The description you just gave me is too detailed. Do you know something I don't? Is our mate in the near? Can you see him, can you feel the bond?" I can't help myself but ask all these questions at once.

"I have no idea. It's what I think about, when I imagine how our mate will look like" he said sadly.

"Ok Big boy don't go all sappy on me ok?" I tease him to lighten the mood. It's our Birthday today. We should be overjoyed not sad. 

"Did you just say a guy? You mean a girl right? We need an hier for the throne in the near future and you know that." He just groans and goes quiet.

There are gay wolves. That is nothing new. What I'm worried about is the fact that I have never been with a guy before. How am I supposed to please and pleasure my mate if it's a guy? I hear commotion outside and noises. They are probably working on my Birthday party. Maybe I should get out of bed and help them.

I get outside of the Mansion and see several people including my Father and his advisors standing around arguing about something. I perk my ears to hear what they are saying.
