The Black Wolf [ON HOLD]

Chapter 2

Xavier POV

"Xavier, this is your last chance to find your mate before we go overseas, you know this right?" My Beta and best friend, Brian asks me.

"I know. And I don't want to go." I groan as I check the time to see that it's 12:00 pm.

"Let's just go in there and get it over with." I say as we get out the Cadillac. My beta gets out the car along with James, my Gamma.

"Is it bad that I actually want to go overseas?" James asks.

I glare at him and he says "Sorry for asking."

I've been all over the United States looking for my mate. I know you're wondering why it's so important for me to find my mate. I'm not just an Alpha but an Alpha Prince. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at the future Alpha King. That is if I find my mate. I'm here at the last pack on the eastern shore in Pennsylvania, the Silver Creek Pack. I'm just hoping my mate is here.

"Welcome, Prince Xavier." Alpha Matthew and Luna Rain greet me and bow.

"We are honored for you to be here. All the girls are already waiting inside and your rooms have already been set up." Luna Rain says.

"Thank you, Alpha Matthew and Luna Rain." I speak.

They bow once more and lead me inside.

All the girls are standing in rows, youngest in front and the oldest in the back. And, unfortunately for me, I can tell that she is not here. Downfall of being a royal wolf is that my senses are even more heightened than the average werewolf.

But, I'm not gonna lie. One of the older girls caught my eye. She winks at me and I can clearly tell, that no offense, she is what you would call the pack slut.

Looks like I found what I'll be hitting tonight, I think to myself.

"But, what about mate?" My wolf, King whines.

"Oh, shut it." I tell him and put him in the back of my mind.

I turn towards the Alpha and Luna and shake my head. They both sigh and tell the girls to leave. A lot of them moan and groan, upset that they aren't my mate.

I walk towards the Alpha and Luna and say "Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to accommodate us. We won't be here long."

"The pleasure is all ours, my Prince. Dinner will be served at 7 pm. We will have someone bring the food up to you and your men." Luna Rain responds.

"Thank you." I respond and they bow before walking away and I realize I'm standing in the living room by myself.

"Now, what to do until seven?" I mumble underneath my breath.

I heard someone clear their throat and turn around to find the girl that I saw just a few minutes ago, looking fine as hell.

"My room isn't that far." She says with a smirk on her face.

A smile spreads across my face.

Shit, I ain't doing nothing else.

A few hours later....

I close the door as I leave Chasity's room. I ended up finding out her name and that she is just your average wolf, a member of the pack. I'm not gonna lie though. She is pretty damn good in bed.

I make my way to my room and take a nice, hot shower. I get out and get dressed; putting on a black tee and joggers, along with some black Vans.

I realize that it's only 5.

"Let's go for a run." King pipes up.

"Not a bad idea." I tell him.

I walk down the stairs and out the back door. I take cover behind a tree, tie my clothes around my ankle, and shift.

King feels satisfied that he is out. He lets out a howl and I let him take over, running who knows where.

An hour later....

I feel King slow down and just take in his surroundings. He looks up at the moon and howls. I then realized how late it is and that we should be heading back. I was just about to when I hear someone laughing. I decide to investigate.

"Bruh, where the fuck you at?" Brian's voice rings in my head.

"You and Jason have to get here now." I tell them.

"Yes, my Prince." They reply, in unison and I cut the link.

I take cover behind a tree and shift putting on the clothes from earlier. I walk for what seems like 5 minutes and then I see it: A cabin.

Well, it looks more like a shack.

Anyway, I walked right up to it and go to the first window that I see and it looks into the kitchen. The kitchen looks old and I sniff the air to realize that it's a bunch of rogues. Until the front door opens.

I peak around the corner and see a man grabbing a female by the hair. And with the light of the moon, I can tell that she has been tortured. I can see the lashes on her back along with the dry blood.

I feel my fangs elongate along with my claws. I want to taste this man's blood. And the scent of vanilla and lavender fill my nose and King says the word that I have been waiting to hear for the twenty-two years of life that I have been living.

"Mate!" King screams in my head.

"Protect Mate!" He roars in my head.

I find myself running towards the man and tackle him to the ground with a ferocious growl.

I give him a few good blows to the face when I'm pushed off. I jump up and see about thirty men, growling at me. One of them is holding my mate.

A loud growl erupts from me and then I hear several more. The look of shock on their faces tell me that Brian and James have arrived with some of our men.

"Do you all see that female? She is your Queen so I suggest you fight like hell." I tell them through the link.

"Yes, my Prince." They say in unison.

They growl loudly, outraged that someone dared touch their Queen.

One of the men speaks, saying "Brody, get her outta here."

The woman begins to fight as the man picks her up and runs.

I growl, viciously and the man laughs.

"I'll get her, my Prince. You focus on the bastard." James says, angrily.

"You want her? Come and get her."

And on that note, we charge.
