Already Taken

Chapter Five

                      Chapter 5

   Draven walked up the steps to his father's office. He knocked on the door and waited for the Alpha's answer.

 

  "Come in son." He heard his dad say.

  "How'd you know it was me?" Draven asked as he opened the door.

  Daymen smiled. "I seen you pull in and then run off into the woods. I was hoping that you would come talk to me before you left." His smile faded, "what's wrong?"

   The younger wolf hesitated, and sat down, before answering, "I found my other half. But she's not a wolf."

  "That girl that we seen on the porch the day we went for orientation? The one that you all of a sudden made up your mind that you were moving as soon as you seen her?" Daymen stopped and looked at his son who was nodding his head. "I already knew what was going on and that she wasn't a femwolf. You would have known too if you were paying more attention."

   "What? How did you know?" Draven asked puzzled.

  "Son I've been mated for a long time, I recognise that look by now. And she smelled only of being human. I've already called around to find out how this will work."

  "Why didn't you tell me?!" Draven shouted.

  "Would it have mattered? Besides you needed to figure this out on your own. But I did learn some things, if you are interested in knowing them. "  He looked at his oldest boy pointedly. Draven nodded his head and sat back.

"As I said before this has happened before. It doesn't happen often though. You will have to be patient with her and court her like girls, especially their human side, like."

  "Did you just say court?" Draven interrupted.

  "I did. It means to date her and not skip steps, like we tend to do with femwolves." Draven explained.

  "Yes dad. I know what it means. But you're not seventy-five."

  "Do you want me to finish or do you want to continue being a smart ass?" Daymen asked.

  "Yes, please tell me, before you have to leave for a sock hop or something." Draven told him with a smile.

   His father chose to ignore his comment and continued. "Anyways, when you do win her heart over and she is ready to accept you and you go through the soul binding ritual hers will split, and you will be binded with half of her soul, and she yours. But I have to tell you, it's going to be very painful for her. When she accepts your soul she is in a sense accepting your wolf, and gaining one of her own to be his counter-partner. She will change. The only way a human can be turned is if they are accepting their true mate, and taking in a piece of them. Only a true mate can bind their soul with another, wolf or human."

  "But what happens to the other half of her soul? When two wolves bind their souls it's two halves making a whole in each body. She already has a complete soul, and you said that her's will split binding mine with hers. What happens to the other half?" Draven asked, his voice full of seriousness now.

  "That becomes her wolf. The few wolves that have been changed from human to wolf have been the purest, most honest, and wisest wolves that have ever lived.

  They have so much spirit and wisdom guiding them because their wolf is essentially born from their heart, and not grown inside their body. They stay level headed and don't get angry as easy. She will be a wonderful Luna for the Pack with her calm and caring ways. She will help you make rational decisions when your wolf tries to just jump right into things.

  She will also love you harder than any natural born wolf ever could, because she will love you with every piece of soul that is in her body. She will more than complete you." Daymen looked at his son, waiting for his reaction to everything that he just told him.

  Draven let out a breath that he didn't even know that he was holding. He thought for a moment, and then nodded his head. "Ok. I'm going to leave her alone."
