A Thousand Years

Chapter Two; Running In Slow Motion

April 9th, 2016 

"Gwen how long have you been searching for your mate now? What almost 170 years?" Solomon shook his head, he was getting older. "I don't want to leave this world before you meet him, I have to know him. I have to approve of him." 

Annie smiled at him, "She will find him, you just have to be patient." 

Annie and Solomon met in 1992, on September 10th. Portland. At a Nirvana concert, I remember turning to say something to Solomon, and him just staring at her, locked eyes. I knew I had lost my best friend that night. Now they have three kids, and are aging. I know I still have time with them for at least 40 more years, but it still is not fair to lose them.

"He is right, when will I meet this man I am supposed to love? Should I just give up, like Maline did?" Annie looked horrified, "Why would you want to condemn yourself like that? You would lose all control over when you change, it would drive you mad. Your wolf wouldn't talk to you, and Goddess would punish you."

"I know, but what if you two leave before I find him? And I have to wait till he is also 18, that is the only time we will know. I wish mother could be here." Little Rein came running around the corner, squealing as Yvonne chased him. Running into my arms, "Save me. The monster is gonna get me!"

"I am NOT a monster, twerp. He stole my shoes and hid them! Mom you have to get them back for me!! I am supposed to go out with my friends tonight." Yvonne is the middle, running at 16 years old Rein is only 7, and then there is Rowland 17 years old. We have been waiting for him to turn 18 to see if he will find his mate. I hope so, because I wouldn't wish this personal hell on any other pure blood.

"Rein, you need to give your sister her shoes back." Solomon scooped up Rein to go get Yvonnes shoes off the fridge where they had earlier hid them. When Rowland walked down the stairs.

"I turn 18 in two weeks. I hope I get to meet my mate." He had been having dreams of meeting her, just like his father did before he met Annie.

"I'm going for a run." I turned and stepped out of the door, this is the only place I felt okay with anymore. I shifted behind a tree into my chestnut brown wolf, and stretched before starting my run. I ran into a few patrols and nodded as I passed them. I have ruled since my parents passed in 1912, my younger brother passed already, he was lucky to meet his mate on his birthday. He never went without her. I've considered even that Rowland may be my mate, which would be very weird. I am basically his aunt. I have considered that my mate chose a human , because they didn't want to wait for me. So I have to wait for them to be reborn again, till they choose the right path. 

Till they choose me.
