I'm gonna try to update at least two to three times a week! But bear with me <3 Daniel is up above!

Daniel's POV

I woke up expecting her next to me, expecting to feel the pull of our bond. "Good morning Mate" I called and opened my eyes to my empty beside and instantly knew she wasn't here. The bed was cold even with the sun outside warming up my room.

Sitting up, I threw off my blankets in anger. Her scent was hours old and my favorite shirt was gone from my pile of clean laundry. Damn it.

James, I need you in here now. I called to my beta who just happened to be my cousin and closest friend. He knows just about everything that happens in the pack, and if he doesn't his girlfriend does.

About ten minutes later James showed up to my room looking confused and startled. "What's wrong?"

I growled and paced my bedroom in circles before answering him. "I found my mate last night, and we mated. Yet she's gone this morning and her scent is old in my bed."

"What are you saying, Danny?" James was starting to take the defense and I knew he wouldn't back down.

I growled louder this time, daring him to challenge me. "I need to know who she is, where she went and if she's nearby." 

James bowed his head, "Her name is Holly. She's Lorel's best friend and I didn't know she was your mate. By now she's long gone. Took a Greyhound bus to California and some obscure city, she wouldn't tell us."

A digital clock went sailing by his head. I missed. "Why in the hell would she leave?"

"She was afraid that you weren't her mate, she was so drunk she couldn't feel the bond and I gave her the herb..." James dodged the next thing that went flying by his head, this time it was a glass cup filled with water.

I was furious. "She's having my pups?!" This warranted another object to be thrown at him. At this rate, I'd have no other things to throw.

Half an hour later I was sitting in my dad's study with him, my mother, my sister, James, and Lorel. I made James explain what happened to Holly all over again. He missed no detail and I could feel my mother's heartbreak when she heard about my Mate being pregnant and now alone. 

I wasn't about to let my mate be alone in a world like this where single-werewolf moms were ridiculed, especially teen ones. 

"Let's find her, Danny" My sister, Claire, reached across the table and grabbed my hand. She knew me better than anyone here. When we were just kids she used to teach me all the lore of the werewolves and what we could or couldn't do. She taught me everything while my parents were off on diplomacy trips with other packs. 

I smiled at her. "Yeah, let's go get my mate."

OOOOH look at me go! Three updates in two days? Three days? I'm actually not sure. While writing I've been watching True Blood (again) and crying about finals but WHATEVER

The next chapter is gonna be a bit of a time jump (a year or less). I really want the lil nugget to be born (or nuggets), and idk how I'm gonna work out the reunion. Sorry that it's a short chapter, I think Danny's will be.
