Once all of the living arrangements were figured out, Wyatt offered us jobs within the pack, and at this architecture company. Justin threw a fit of excitement since he was an architect major, and when he found out exactly who the Alpha was, he was practically groveling at his feet. Apparently, Wyatt was some big shot architect company CEO.
“Does anyone have any questions?” Wyatt asked us.
“Yeah, I do,”
“Go ahead, Justin,”
“Can you explain in detail what a mate is?” he asked, and all of our ears peaked in interest.
“Sure,” Wyatt replied with a smile. “A mate for a werewolf is a destined individual that is chosen for us since before we’re even born, and they’re chosen by the mother of all werewolves, the moon goddess. I would say that 95% of the time, mates that find each other fall in love instantly, and they build their life together. But, that other 5% is filled with those who decide to reject their mate for various reasons. Some that are rejected or do the rejecting may get lucky enough to find a second chance, but that doesn’t always happen. Take me for example. Megan is my mate, but she’s not my destined mate. I chose her to replace my destined mate,”
“Why?” I asked.
“It’s a long story, and it’s a sad one. Unfortunately, some s**t happened with dark magic, and it led to my mate leaving me. During that dark time, I met Megan, and we produced a son together. Even though she’s not my destined mate, I made the choice to make her my mate for the sake of our son,” “So, we can choose mate?” one of the guys named Alex asked.
“Not necessarily. Choosing a mate has a lot of consequences, the biggest one being if your actual mate comes along and you’re already taken. That can cause a lot of unwanted drama. It’s best to wait for your mate, and go from here,”
“If any of you do find your destined mate, don’t take rejection lightly,” Melody said to us. “It is very painful for both parties, and in some cases, many of those who have been rejected have been known to commit suicide,” all of our mouths dropped in shock. “There are in some cases where a rejected mate will find a second chance, as my brother said, but it’s typically those who were rejected that are lucky enough to get a second chance. Those that do the rejection typically are punished by either being alone forever or having to take a chosen mate,”
“Alpha, is that what happened to you?” Lisa asked him.
“As I said, my situation is very different and complex, and it was triggered by dark magic. I care about Megan, and I do love her, but no one can ever replace my destined mate,”
“That’s kind of messed up to say in front of her,” Natalie sneers at him.
“It’s okay, Natalie,” Megan says. “I came into this knowing that he had a mate before me and that she was his destined mate. I too have grown to love Wyatt, and like him, I was also rejected by my first mate, but my situation was more normal in a sense. I don’t hold anything against him, and we have no secrets from each other,” all of us were really impressed with her.
“So, as werewolves, you’re saying that all of us will eventually find a destined mate?” I asked.
“Yes,” Wyatt replied. “Even Victor may find one now that he lives in a world amongst our kind,”
“But he’s human,” Justin said.
“He is, but there are in many cases where a wolf’s mate is of a different species, and in many cases, their mate can be human,”
“When you say other species…” Rolland, or as he wants to be called Rollie, started to say,
“Poor humans, they have no idea,” Milan said shaking her head. “Everything that you grew up thinking was fiction, throw all of that out of the window,”
“WHAT!?” we all shouted.
“Oh yeah, there aren’t just werewolves in the world, you have witches, demons, warlocks, vampires, fairies, dragons, bears, panthers, tigers, and other wild were-animals,” Milan explained, and all of our jaws were hanging open like fly traps.
“There is a lot of information of the supernatural world that you guys will come to learn over time,” Wyatt said and we all just nodded. We all looked at each other in complete shock at how much all of our lives have completely changed. “If there are no additional questions, our kitchen staff is currently making a feast for your welcome. This weekend, I will hold an actual ceremony to welcome all of you properly into the pack, and then you will all be able to mind-link with the pack and each other,” “What about Victor?” I asked. “Is he going to stay human?”
“That’s up to him,” the Alpha replied. “Unfortunately, the rest of you weren’t given a choice, and that sadly led to the death of many of your comrades; however, Victor is a different story. He has the choice to do whatever he wants, and if he wants to stay human, he can, or if he wants to turn, I can always turn him, or if he ends up with a supernatural mate, it would be best if he became one of them,”
“Wait, are you saying that I can have a mate out there, that isn’t a werewolf?” Victor asked.
“Yes,” he replied. “What I’ve come to learn about the human species is that they only tend to survive the bite from a supernatural if they’re meant to be that species. Which is why many of your friends died. They weren’t meant to be werewolves. They were either meant to stay human for the rest of their lives, or they were meant to be turned by another supernatural,” all of us just nodded. “If that is all, then how about we head over to the commons dining room so we can all eat together,” we all nodded and stood up to go. We all headed out of the conference room and back down the corridor to go to the commons dining room when a sudden sweet smell caught my attention. I stopped and gasped because I felt my wolf starting to go insane. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. “Yo, what’s with Kelsey, Nat, and Lisa?” I heard Justin ask. It felt like I was caught in a trance, and then out of nowhere, I found myself being lifted off the ground and pinned against the wall. My daze was broken, and in front of me was the hottest guy I had ever seen. I felt his chest rumble, and with a loud and feral growl, he said one word that made me horny in half a second,
“MATE!”

P.O.V.***
“What do you think the Alpha is going to do when he brings all of those newborns?” Maddox asked as we were on our lunch break in the castle.
“I don’t know man, but I’m sure he’s just going to give them a place to live, for now. I doubt the Alpha is going to put them to work right away,” Hugo responded.
“What about the new Luna, do you think she’s okay with bringing all these new wolves so early into her new position?” Maddox asked. Hugo gave his response though I didn’t actually hear him. I was too busy thinking about the new Luna and knowing that she was actually the prior Luna in disguise. When the Alpha had told me what really had happened, I was floored and completely shocked.
Though I wasn’t a huge fan of hers when she was her old self, I’ve come to learn why Layla was the way she was. There was just no way not to like the Luna and that bothered Layla. Regardless of who the Luna is right now, her personality is the same, and I’ve come to the realization that Layla was flat out jealous and didn’t know how to cope with that. Even with all of her flaws, I was willing to love Layla because she was beautiful, but after finding out everything she had done, I just couldn’t look past how far gone she was. While we were walking back towards the main entrance to get back our duties, something caught my attention, and I froze in my spot. The sweetest scent I had ever smelled was taking over my senses, and my wolf Flynn was going insane. This couldn’t be. The last time something sweet caught my attention was when I found out my Layla was my mate. How could this be? But this wasn’t Layla, this scent was even sweeter.
I had totally forgotten I was with Hugo and Maddox and just followed the scent. I found myself walking towards the corridor that led to the conference room, and there before me, was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. Layla couldn’t even compare to this girl. She was a little on the skinny side, but that didn’t take away from the fact that she a rocking nice body. She had black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and grey eyes.
Could this be? Was the moon goddess giving me a second chance? Flynn was hounding me to go to her, but I was too shocked to move. Flynn then took over, and he went straight to her. He picked her up and pinned against the wall. I felt the rumble in my chest as he growled the word that I never thought we would ever say again,
“MATE!” she looked at us and was in complete shock.
“Darius! Put her down!” I heard someone but I couldn’t recognize who it was. I was lost in a trance in my mate’s beautiful grey eyes.
“Hi,” she said softly. So softly in fact that had I not been a wolf, I would have missed it.
“DARIUS!” someone shouted and pulled my shoulder. Flynn growled at the person and then we saw it was Gamma Jason. I immediately bowed my head in submission without ever putting down my mate. “Darius, put her down, you’re scaring her,” the Gamma said. I looked back at my mate and could see that she seemed a bit frightened. I put her down, and slowly backed away.
“Hugo!”
“Maddox!” I turned and saw the Beta and the Alpha trying to pry the others off of two other females. It hit me that they had found their mates too. I turned back to mine and she looked confused.
“Okay, it looks like we have something else to discuss,” the Alpha said. “Hugo, Maddox, and Darius go into the conference room and wait for me,” none of moved. Instead of we each turned to look at our mates and I immediately got lost in her eyes again. “THAT’S AN ORDER!” his Alpha tone broke my trance and I bowed. Hugo, Maddox, and I went into the conference room without incident.
