Moon picked mates

Chapter 9

Alisha POV

The two of us chatted the whole ride there, I gave her the run down on Alvan at least the few things I knew about him. He is here in Spain visiting friends and checking out the job situation here. There is no family back in Mexico and he is joining the pack in Barcelona if he decides to stay permanently. His visa is for a year like mine , he picked Spain because of his friends and the fact he knows the language.  He grew up bilingual, that's why his English is so good. 

I took four years of Spanish in high school but even then I still struggle with some words. My brain isn't wired right I guess when it comes to languages, but I manage pretty well. I promised him that we could be friends, but after what she told be about mates and bonds I don't want to get too attached . He's not in the same city as me after today and a two hour drive is going to help with keeping the distance. I don't plan on us getting together again, that was just a fun last weekend and now I have to get down to business.

 Paola told me all about that hot friend of his she hooked up with that night at the club. She couldn't get the grin off her face , she apparently had a "fun time" just like me, but parted without any issue in the morning. They aren't planning anything together, no ties just two people relieving their needs.  Like she said before, wolves have very high sexual drives  and not all wait for their mates. Each pack is like it's own culture of rules, some wait and others don't.  

Her pack doesn't but the one I'm going to be with in Calella have a whole difference set of rules. Old fashioned about women and men roles, men can do what ever they want and the women are restricted. Three months and I'm done , I just have to keep my mouth shut and do the job.I can follow the rules while I'm here for my internship, I can do it. 

"Remember that you can't go to clubs or out with males while your here." Her voice serious  as she gave me that last bit of advice.  " From now  you have to act like a virgin, untouched and unavailable to any but your mate."  Now she is laughing hard , all the seriousness out of her voice. 

"Yeah you just keep laughing it up there , maybe your mate is part of this pack and then what will you do?"  She ain't laughing now.

"Don't say that , not even as a joke. I wouldn't want a male from a pack like this one. I couldn't live my life under a man's thumb. "  Her face is all serious now  " I would have nothing but heartache  with a mate like that." She would never reject her true mate, it goes against everything she believes in. He was picked by the moon goddess for her specially and you don't throw away that gift. She would keep what ever she was given.  

But unlike her, I didn't grow up with that driven into my brain every second of the day. This whole moon goddess thing is new to me, my parents didn't tell me anything. In fact I used to go with them to a christian church every Sunday, no moon goddess was worshiped there so my beliefs are different. I have no problem going against what some goddess determined for me. I believe in free choice but if I ever meet my "moon picked mate"  I'll give him a chance  to wow me. But I'm not going to blindly accept someone like Paola will, he's going to have to be something special. 

"No, I think your going to get some hot  hunky guy with tons of money who is going to worship at your feet and let you do what ever the hell you want to do. He's going to be pussy whipped from the moment he meets you. No goddess would ever hook you with someone so totally different from you. "  I watch her relax as I speak, it would be really shitty for her to be mated to some ego manic male. Paola is a free spirit and it would break her to live like that. 

" I don't care about the money part but the rest sounds good. I wonder what kind of mate your going to have , he's going to have to be a strong person to handle your control needs. "
