Gareth's POV
I let out a frustrated huff as I see all of the documents stacked on my office table.
I was gone for an hour and there's already a mountain fucking load of papers on my supposed to be clean desk.
I walk to my swivel chair and unceremoniously flop down while deciding what stack to start from when a ring interrupts me from picking up a pen.
Who the fuck is this now. I pick up the phone.
"Gareth Dax Richard!" I hear my mother shriek before I even hold the phone to my ear.
I'm in deep trouble right now aren't I. I close my eyes and hope for the best.
You are. My lycan Alaric grumbles out in my head.
"How can you forget the annual ball is today! You have to be there my little boy!" I sigh while irritably running a hand through stubble.
"Mom I have a lot of work to do today, so I don't think I'll be able to go." I hear her let out a groan before speaking.
"How will you find your mate if you keep working all the damn time!"
"I want a girl to spoil my dear son and I want you to be happy, don't go locking yourself up just because you still haven't found her yet." She says tenderly and I smile at her words. I know if I find my mate my mother would spoil her rotten, not that I'm incapable of doing it myself.
"Okay mom you got me, I'll be there on time I promise." I say in a light hearted tone, knowing my mom wouldn't take no for an answer, and considering the fact that I'm desperate to find my mate.
I zone out brooding about the effects of having been mate-less for 7 years.
A huff brings back my attention to the call. "You better be. Go get ready right now okay! Or I'll make Bently drag you out from there." She practically squeals from excitement. I almost laugh at the thought of my beta being ordered to do just that. He wouldn't dare. Alaric says his tone mirthful.
I want to find her too mom. I thought to myself before getting up and walking to the door.
I want mate too. Alaric growls in my head as I exit and close the door to my office.
*****
I stare at the mirror and start fixing my dress shirt buttoning up my cuff links. I wore a black tuxedo without the tie. If I do find her today I want to be at my best, because my mate deserves nothing but the best even myself.
Being a lycan at at the ripe age of 27 I still haven't found my mate, also the fact that I'm a prince with no mate, they can't hand the throne down because I need to have my queen.
Many girls and even boys have tried to approach me to offer their company but me and my lycan have a strong sense of loyalty to our other half. Therefore I don't want another else touching me in an intimate way other than my mate.
I scoff at the thought. Why would you want an intimate relationship with a person other than your mate when they're a gift of the Moon Goddess herself.
I know for a fact that my mate is alive and I just have to wait for the right moment to meet her. She'll make a damn grand entrance into our life. Alaric playfully says.
However despite my strong belief of fidelity others assume that I don't have a destined mate and still try to force themselves at me.
I suddenly feel infuriated at one of my encounters.
Flashback
I was walking through the castle when suddenly someone is hurled right in-front of my chest, or rather she throws herself at me and starts unbuttoning my shirt while kissing my shirt covered torso.
It was a maid who has obviously tampered with her uniform making it seem more provocative.
My eyes widen in shock as I abruptly take a step back.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing." I said my voice coming out rather menacingly, as I can feel my lycan becoming infuriated at me for letting someone touch me like that.
Straightaway thoughts of my mate flood into my rage filled mind.
"Get the fuck out of my sight! I'll have you punished for laying your hands on me like that!"
Two guards come rushing into the halls, both taking hold of her arms as she thrashes about trying to escape.
"Throw her in the dungeon." I gruffly tell the guards as I walk out trembling from anger.
I look at myself once again in the mirror trying to look as presentable as possible, letting out a sigh I start walking to the door hoping I find her soon.
