Chasing our Dreams

2

"Why are we ordered to visit the royal people?", asked Kate. I wonder why, too. The palace is a very scary place to visit. Not that anyone really wants to visit that place, it's terrifying.

"Did you do something, Ricardo?", Kate asked him.

Ricardo scoffed and I can't help but to laugh alongside Finny and Patrick. "Want to say bye bye to your sweet daddy?", Patrick mused while putting his right arm on Ricardo's neck.

"I hate all of you."

We laughed. After visiting five packs, we our down to our sixth and the last one to visit which is the Crimson pack or what we known as Ricardo's pack.

Ever since we entered this pack, everything is cherry, ruby, blush, carmine, scarlet and crimson colored. All shades of red surrounded this pack. It's quite amusing for my taste to see a pack dedicated to one color. But it's amazing how it compliments everything. Bottomline, this pack is beautiful.

Ricardo's father known as Gamma Leonardo was very hospitable to us. The whole pack was actually hospitable.

Of all the packs here in Eastland, this pack has been the only one with an Alpha that caters to the demands and needs of their medical department. Their infirmary was equipped with modern equipments. They have two trained pack doctors and three nurses which shocked everyone on my team except Ricardo, obviously he already knows that.

Perhaps, because this is a large pack too. I'm still happy though.

"So what souvenirs can we buy from your pack aside from any clothing that is the shade of red?", Kate asked Ricardo with a mocking voice yet excited state. Among us, she loves to collect certain things she could bring home back to Citadel.

Ricardo shrugged, "No matter what you do, everything's red here. You can only buy red things."

Kate rolled her eyes before smacking his shoulders. Then they're back to arguing as usual.

"Let's grab a drink, yes? I think we deserve that before we visit the royal people. I'm honestly nervous about that.", Patrick grabbed mine and Finny's shoulder while speaking.

We definitely deserve that.

"I think my mate is at Southland.", Kate grumbled. She's upset that she still haven't met her mate.

"How'd you know that your mate is in Southland? He could be in North or Westland.", Patrick asked.

Kate sighed, "I don't know. But I'm already twenty four! Never even had a boyfriend before. I need some love!"

Ricardo laughed at her miserable state while Patrick and Finny had their jaws dropped.

"You're right, and I'm twenty three already. No mate.", Patrick is now having his own breakdown.

"Me too. Maybe, I should go back to Southland after this expedition.", Finny said with almost tears in his eyes.

I laughed causing all of them to glare at me. "Woah-...", I held my hands up in surrender. "Okay, I'm sorry.", I bowed my head at them.

"Have you met your mate already, Em?", Ricardo asked earning a slap at the back of his head by Kate.

"Of course not. You think she would be here if he already met him?", she exclaimed.

Finny and Patrick nodded their heads in agreement. She's right.

But, "I already did."

"What?!", they all shouted at the same time with their eyes widened and face leaning on me.
