Max’s POV

“Son, aren’t you excited?” Dad blurted out all of the sudden while we were having our breakfast.

My forehead wrinkled because of dad’s remark, “Excited of what?”

Mom chuckled at my question and answered with a smile plastered on her face. “We’re off to visit the neighbouring pack remember?”

Oh. I totally forgot about that, geez. Wait, what’s so exciting about that?

“How is that exciting, dad?” I asked while wearing a frown. Dad tsked and widen his eyes at me.

“Why is it not? You might meet your mate there!” he answered and mom immediately seconded.

“Your dad’s right, sweetheart.”

I heaved out a sigh. “Dad.. it’s been years, come on!” and released a groan afterwards.

Ever since I turned 21 and took over dad as the Alpha of our pack 5 years ago, they have been pestering me nonstop about finding my mate.

And until now,  I still see no sign of my mate.

I care less of it now. Though it’s not like I have lost hope of finding my mate. I just .. you know.. tsk!
Whatever.

“So what if it has been 5 years?” Dad asked with raised eyebrow.

“Mom!” I looked at mom, searching for help but instead of helping me, she just shrugged.

“I’m not getting any younger sweetheart, just like your dad, I want you to find your mate so that you can give me grandchildren!”

“Yeah, yeah!” Dad seconded while nodding his head. “And we want you to settle down already, son.” He added.

I looked at them with disbelief, “Seriously, Mom? Dad?”

They both nodded in unison and grinned at me, “Seriously!”

“Aren’t you supposed to tell me to enjoy my life?” I asked grumpily.

“Son, you can enjoy your life with your mate!” dad insisted. “I’m already mated with your mom and all but look at me! I’m still enjoying life as it is!”

“Your dad is right, sweetheart.” Mom said, totally agreeing with dad.

I closed my eyes for a moment and rubbed my temples at my parents’ stubbornness. For who knows who’s sake! “Mom, Dad..”

“Yes, sweetheart?”

“Yes, son?”

“Can you stop it, already?” I said with my eyes closed. This is giving me a headache!

“But---“ before dad could finish his sentence, I cut him off and spoke once again.

“My head is aching due to our never ending conversation.”

Mom immediately stood up from her chair and hastily approached my side.

“Oh my, are you okay sweetheart?” she asked with concern dancing in her emerald orbs.

I’m not mom, duh?

“I’ll be if we stop with this conversation.” I answered sternly.

“Go head to your room and rest for a bit sweetheart, we’ll wake you up when we’re leaving.” Mom said with a worried look.

“But we’re not done ye—“

Dad’s sentence was cut of when mom gave him a glare which made him gulp.

“—ah, you should head to your room and r-rest, son.” He continued, not really wanting to say the last part.

I nodded at them and stood from my seat. “Okay.”

I made my way towards my room but before I could exit it fully, I stopped at my tracks and gave dad a glance without mom noticing, mouthing him something.

‘You’re a pussy’

He sent me a glare and what dad did next made me almost roll on the ground, laughing hard.

Dad raised his middle finger at me.
Little did he know, mom saw this action of his which made him earn a good scolding and beating.

‘Take that dad!’

I’m really laughing hard inside my mind as of the moment. Geez, my parents are a pain in the ass but at the same time a good ‘entertainer’.

Shaking my thoughts off, without any further ado, I continued making my way towards my room.

The moment I opened my room, I immediately made a dash towards my bed. Reaching it, I slumped myself on it. Much better.

I rolled over and laid on my back. Staring at the ceiling, I started to recall the conversation I had earlier with my parents.

Finding my mate huh?

I wonder where she is? Like what I have mentioned earlier, it has been 5 years and the longest time a wolf—specifically an alpha, can find it’s mate is around 2-3 years. I’m an alpha yet again, it has been more than the longest time any alpha could have in finding their mate.

My next thought made me froze.

Could it be? Could it be that my mate is dead?

I shook my head.

No, that’s impossible. Yes, that’s not even near the possibility!

Or is it?

Damn it! Why am I even thinking negatively about this?! 

I took a deep breathe sharply and rolled over again but this time to my side.

Wherever my mate is, I hope she’s doing good.

Before I even know it, I was already in a deep slumber.
