*Namjoon's POV*

I'd spent a week in Oceania and I still hadn't found my mate. Our plane had just landed and we were on our way to the pack-house. I sighed looking out the window.
"Are you alright?" Hoseok asked; he was sitting in the seat next to me.
"Yeah, I guess," I responded quietly.
"Is it about not meeting your mate yet?"
"Yeah, it's just that: my dad's gonna give up the position of Alpha to me soon and I really wanted to have a luna before I took over"
"It's alright. When we get home we'll book a trip to Africa - we'll be out there for a month or two, but that means we're guaranteed to meet your mate". I looked out the window again, thinking a bit before I replied.
"What if I don't have a mate?" I asked eventually. Hoseok paused.
"Of course you have a mate"
"I'm starting to doubt it" I confessed, "90% of mates live on the same continent and I've searched six and still haven't found mine"
"I met mine in Europe, it's almost certain that you'll meet her in Africa". I didn't respond any further, but the same thought ran through my mind. What if she wasn't in Africa?

We arrived at the house a short time later, my father was standing at the top of the grand staircase with open arms. The boys and I all pilled out of the car, but when he saw no lady was accompanying me, his face fell.
"No luck in Oceania then?" he asked. I shook my head. "Well, Jin called in advance to tell me; I've got you a little present". Jin and Hoseok went off to their rooms to meet their mates and the rest of the boys and I followed my dad. He walked us to the end of the main corridor and unlocked a room which we'd never been allowed in before. The only thing inside was a concrete staircase which began as soon as the door ended. There wasn't even a fraction of light but my father guided us down never-the-less.

When we reached the bottom of the stairs he finally turned the light on. Only an eerie light bulb hung in the center of the corridor and we continued to walk down it. I'd never been to a prison before but this sure looked like one. Six cells lined each side and all of them looked bare. He stopped in front of the first one on the right and his face scowled.
"Where is she?" he bellowed. My dad shouted a lot, but this was the scariest sound which had ever come out of his mouth. He stormed back up the stairs and we all followed him like lost sheep. Jin's dad, better known as the Beta was quick to meet us at the top of the stairs.
"Where is she? Where is the girl?" he shouted again.
"I took her up to Namjoon's room, you said that she was a present for her". A large humf slipped out of my dad's mouth before he walked over to the central staircase.

As we began ascending it, a whiff of scent entered my nose. The smell of cake and coffee lingering in my nostrils, but it wasn't coming from food.
"Mate!" my wold screamed. I did my best to control myself - this couldn't be. I'd been all around the world and my mate was here the whole time!
"Has any knew wolves joined the pack?" I asked my father, knowing that my mate wasn't here before I'd left.
"No," he responded bluntly, but I knew she was there; my mate was just seconds away from me.
