**THIS ONE SHOT IS BY MY GOOD FRIEND. madreadsss **
Augustine's POV
"Augustine! Wake the hell up, boy!" I heard my Uncle Bryan say, while barging into my bedroom.
"What? What now Uncle Bry?" I croaked. I was exhausted from training earlier today; Adelaide kicked my ass.
"C'mon, get yer' ass up! It's not everyday a boy turns sixteen, and since yer' my only nephew, it's my job to take you out!" he cheered, as he ripped my blankets off of me forcing the chilled air from my air conditioner to hit my skin.
"Moon Goddess, it's not a big deal. Don't even worry about it," I insisted. I was perfectly fine with staying home to relax. Hell, I knew Mama Blackwood would have a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting ready to go by dinner and I bet I could con the guys into playing COD with me; that's all I needed.
"Hell no. I'm takin' you out, now get yer' ass up before I get an ice cold pitcher of water. Wanna sleep on the floor tonight? Wear something nice!" he chuckled before leaving my room.
Ugh. I couldn't begin to imagine what he had in mind for us to do tonight. I just knew that it wouldn't involve Alpha Wes, Kai, or Wyatt because they couldn't stand being in the same room as Bryan for more than five minutes at a time. I wasn't one-hundred percent why but I have caught the impression that he's a bit of a douchebag around the pack; I just thought he was that way because he was my uncle and only a few years older than me.
He was popular with the ladies around the pack but he never kept one around for too long. They would come and go, and it wasn't uncommon for wolves to fuck in the pack house, but Moon Goddess, his room is right next to mine and that was just something I didn't want to hear. I'm kind of surprised that Alpha Wes hadn't kicked him out yet, but I'm honestly glad he hasn't. I mean, he is my family after all.
I rolled myself out of bed before he had the chance to come back and dump a gallon of water on me, because it wouldn't have been the first time, and moseyed over to my bathroom. I was at least lucky enough to have a bathroom to myself, and it was connected to my bedroom for that matter.
I stripped my sweaty, musty cutoff shirt and basketball shorts off and threw them in the hamper. I probably smelled like a wet dog. Hell, I sure did look rough, but I've been nervous this whole week. Sixteen was the age you had to turn before you could find your mate, and here I am. I don't know who she is, and Asher hasn't even felt the Moon Goddess's pull yet.
Kai was twenty-eight when he found his mate, Adelaide, and Uncle Bryan was already twenty and hadn't found his mate yet. I knew it would happen 'at the right time' or 'when it's supposed to happen' but I couldn't feel it. Girls would hang around me a lot; pestering me about who has the prettiest eyes or who can run the fastest, but I never felt anything towards them.
"Ah, fuck," I hissed once I stepped in the shower and jerked backwards at the realization I needed to adjust the temperature of the water. It was freezing cold, and with my luck, someone would've taken their sweetass time in the shower and used up all of the hot water. It took it a couple of minutes to heat up, but after doing so, I grabbed my wash cloth and poured my cedarwood scented body wash onto it.
I scrubbed everything I thought needed scrubbed, and my pits didn't stink anymore so I was good to go. I had to wash my hair, but I didn't have too much to wash because Uncle Bryan buzzed my head a few months ago after I pissed him off somehow. I preferred my hair longer, and so did everyone else it seemed like; they loved my 'floppy hair' but he just had to be jealous when the slightest bit of attention wasn't on him. Why am I going out with him tonight?
