Hunting for my mate

chapter two

Alice's POV

Today is Tuesday and since Saturday I can't help my wolf whimper more and more due to the fact that I am mate less and most likely will be for a long time. I am not really that fragile but i can't help the fact that me and my best friend Skylar are still mate less even though she doesn't let it show i can tell she is forcing her wolf to calm down and it has gotten worse for both of us since Derek has found Lisa or should I say Sky found Lisa and in way introduced them together. We don't talk about it much but I can tell she is hurting because she ended up finding her brother his mate and not hers; then again i don't even know if she wants a mate but I know she would never reject him if she found him.The sad thing I am dealing with is that unlike Skylar, I know I want my mate and no matter where I look he does't seem to be showing up.

Knowing I have to get up sooner then later I do an awkward strech while laying down then turn to see what time it is. 6:30. What! How could that be... Oh yeah, I should thank my wolf for that one. Who knew having a wolf remind you how lonely you are would be so annoying: Note sarcasm. I decided to get up and get a shower before going downstairs for breakfast. Grabbing my clothes, I headed towards the bathroom and got a nice warm shower.

After changing and throwing my hair in a messy bun, I walk downstairs surprised at what i see; Skylar in the kitchen making bacon and eggs. Pushing the door open loudly so she can hear me i walk beside her and place my hand on her shoulder.

"Wolf wont shut up either?" I asked sympathy laced in my tone. She nodded with her priceless pissed-off-at-her-wolf face. "I don't see why she can be so sad! Its like watching the freaking notebook in here." She motioned to her head. I let out an exasperated sigh. "Ditto. I really want to meat him and am already sad on my own, then comes my she wolf and makes me want to eat ice cream and mope around all day." I sigh again. She turns her head pity over her features, - not a annoying pity, just a caring friend one- she rubs my shoulder and gives it a light squeeze. Letting go of my arm she grabs two plates and glasses.placing and even amount of bacon and eggs on each and pouring some orange juice in both of the cups and hands me my meal.

"Come on," she motions with her head to follow her into the kitchen. Once she sits down on the biggest couch in the room she places her food on the coffee table ahead of her and pats the spot next to her for me to sit. Placing my food ahead of me I sit down and she pulls me into a hug while letting me expose my tears onto her shoulder rubbing my back in a friendly and soothing manor which is another reason of many that I love her for: She is a shoulder to cry on, she is a great cook, and she is comforting and supportive of my moods and decisions no matter what they are. I am truly thankful I have her.

Skylar's POV

I really felt bad for Alice. She has wanted a mate since before she remembers. When we were little we shared things that we hope our mate would have and I know not having one plus an over emotional wolf she has this is definitely not the first time she has cracked; luckily I have been there pretty much every time - considering our rooms are next to each other - I can hear her quiet sobs and immediately rush over to help her.

Listening to her cry breaks my heart. I am the only person she will allow herself to cry by, even if it means leaving the room without notice if someone says the wrong thing in any way.

When I say I have known her since birth it is because she is born the day after I am and since then we would have baby play dates until we were old enough to classify it as hanging out, then it would be sneaking out quietly and having our own meeting spots and hideaways for escaping our werewolf world.

Since when we turn 16 and hadn't found our mates we were both there for each others shift; which was another thing that made us closer.

Some people would wonder why I'm not stoping Alice from crying right know and the awnser is easy... She did the exact same thing for me when both my parents died. Stopping her now will only make her cry longer later, she needs to get this out of her system.

Once she stopped crying I pulled her back to look in her eyes.

"We'll just have to keep looking, okay? Now eat your breakfast before it gets cold." I said humor laced in my tone. She nodded smiling and giggling at me.

While we ate I turned on the TV and Big Bang Theory was on. Yes! I love this show!

We watched it for a little it until she broke the silence, "Sky, why were you up so early?" Slowly my body tensed. "Um... My wolf is really sad also about the mate thing two and wouldn't let me sleep any later than about 6:20..." I answered my voice a tad horse. She gave me an understanding nod.

"So... What are you planning on doing for Derek's party tomorrow? Apparently he is inviting the neighboring packs and some others too I heard him say." I told her. "Yeah I heard..." She left me hanging. "And...?" I asked. "...And I heard. I wasn't planning on going. Plus their are always a bunch of perverts there at those party's." She finished leaving me flabbergasted. "WHAT!" I yelled a tad too loud. Quickly quieting my voice I said... "Dude, you just told me that you want to find your mate and then when an amazing opportunity rises you choose to ignore it?! I can't promise but I bet your mate is going to be there considering my brother has invited about every pack i a 200 mile radius." I told her with full seriousness.

She sighed looking at her hands. "I'll go if you do too." She agreed a small smile creeping the corners of her mouth. I was so excited that my random outbursts took control of my body and gave her a big bear bone crushing hug. Did I say Bear? I meant Wolf, just kidding.

Suddenly she started giggling under my hold making me smile.

"Well you know what that means..." I sighed i do not like doing this but for Alice I would take a bullet for her so I hope this isn't worse. She gave me a questioning look which made me sigh. "Shopping." I replied blandly as the word fell off my tongue. She squealed pulling me into another hug, which coming from Alice, I had to accept wrapping my arms around her and taking in a good old best friend moment which made me smile again.
