The Alpha King's Mate

CHAPTER 2

Alexander's POV

As I hear the door closing, I return to my chair and sat back down. Putting my hands on my forehead, a headache that's slowly taking place. I let out a deep breath of tiredness and longing.

Longing for my mate to be here with me.

"We would find her soon" assured my wolf to me. "For now, let's face this matter about the rogues so that nothing will get our way in finding our mate."

"Yeah, you're right."

Tired of thinking too much, I turn my visions around my office.

This was once been my father's office. He insists to take another room for my office anywhere here in the castle and designing and arranging it the way I like it to be. Teasing me that his office is too old for me and that as the new Alpha King, I should have my new and own office that suits my personality.

But I declined his offer to set up my office anywhere in the castle. Because I like this old room that is full of memories.

This room has also been the personal office of the past Alpha Kings. For me, it's an honor to also used this room as my office. Though some of the furniture here had been replaced and renovated and repaired. I can still feel and smell the old wooden walls. The smell of old books on the bookshelf.

My father used to read me those books in this room when I was little. Books about wars, tactics, and training. Teaching me the wisdom I need, to be the next Alpha King.

Across the bookshelf is a fireplace. Beside it is a small couch that two persons can fit. On the floor lay a big round fluffy rug.

My mother would sit on the couch and just silently watch and listen to us with my father exchanging views and ideas.

I always caught her staring at my father with so much love and adoration. For my father is a great man and had been a great Alpha King in this kingdom. He ruled the werewolf society with great power and wisdom. It's my pride and honor to follow and continue his legacy.

Seeing both of them have so much love for each other. I often asked them about having a mate.

Is it truly the greatest gift of the Moon Goddess?

My mother would always tell me to be patient and sensitive when talking about mates.

I remember my father telling me:
"Son, one day the Moon Goddess will gift you a love that you would cherish for eternity. And that is your Mate."

Turned his eyes to my mom and smile.

"When your wolf found her you'll feel the undeniable and uncontrollable bond to her. Always understand each other, especially your wolf. It will be hard to control him whenever your mate is around. And its instinct is to always be with your mate and protect her above all else. After all, a mate is your other half, she would be the mind and heart of your wolf. Your mate will be the only one who can calm and understand that beast inside you."

They said that the Mate pull is more stronger for us, for we are a Royal Wolf.

My loving mom always keeps telling me that when the time comes to meet my mate, give the love she deserves and tell me that she will give me more love in return. Having her by my side will make us both more stronger. That I should fight for her no matter what.

At that time, I still don't understand the mate thing. All I know is that my parents are very much in love with each other. That until now their love is growing more and more stronger.

After my father passed down the throne to me as the new Alpha King of werewolves, my parents chose to leave the castle and retire from royal duties and responsibilities and chose to live peacefully in a quiet place far away from here.
