Scented.

Envy is so fucking cool. Like don’t get me wrong, she’s a total hard ass to train with and she’s gotten every single one of my muscles aching but as a person? She’s awesome. The only people that really try to be my friend here are all fake. They want to be associated with my status or really, my brothers. All they care about is how they look, what they wear and if they could get a shot at being the next Luna. Envy though I’ve learnt doesn’t care about any of yhat. She’s an orphan, a warrior trained from birth and she wants to eventually be a pack doctor so she can help people. She also has no friends so when I mentioned that we should just be best friends right off the bat, she jumped and squealed like it was the best thing in the world. We exchanged numbers and agreed we should hang out on the weekends as well when we’re not training.

“I should really get going, I’ve got a dinner shift to get to.” She says checking her watch.

“You don’t have omegas to do that?”

“We do, I just enjoy cooking, plus it puts a few extra dollars in my bank account.”

“I couldn’t cook a meal to save my life. You’ll have to teach me that as well some day. Im sure Tommy would like that. Anyways, yeah I should probably go and get ready, we’re hosting dinner with other packs every few days to try and find out next Luna.”

Haiden

I see, Tiffany or Stephanie, maybe it was Julie, fucked if I know, out the front door after a long and much needed romp fest. I never sleep with the same girl twice, I don’t want them getting attached and thinking that I’ll choose them to be my mate or anything. Not like Noah and Levi with those two bimbos that think they’ve already sealed the deal after a year or so of being with them. I waited a few years after we turned eighteen for my mate but honestly, I’m an Alpha male, I have needs and I know I should have kept waiting but I just didn’t. Once the girl is in the car and her toxic perfume she was smothered in clears a bit I get a faint waft of the most intoxicating scent. Vanilla and blueberries... My mate. That has to be my mate! I try to follow it, up and around the house, over the yard, but it gets lost the second that a string of cars pull into the driveway carrying a load of she wolf’s from another pack. Fuck! Xavier’s bike pulls in after them and while my mother and father greet the guests I pull him aside.

Xavier.

I was out by the border, sorting out a shift change that needed my attention when I caught the scent. Vanilla and blueberries, the sweetest fucking thing in the world had me tripping over my own feet to try and follow it. I followed the flow of the wind that carried it from the front gates, and from there I had jumped on my bike, helmet off and nose in the air. It was faint through the streets and I zigzagged this way and that until the line of cars from the visiting pack arrived and I decided to follow them back.

“Did you smell that, brother!?” Haiden shakes my arm.

“You caught it too!?”

“Yes! Our mate, she was here! I scented it right fucking here but then it was gone.”

“I caught it near the border and all through town.”

“Fuck, she’s here, she’s finally here! We need to go look for her! Link Noal and Levi, they can help.”

“Who’s here, boys?” Our mother comes up behind us.

“Her, Mum, our mate, we both scented her. She’s here! We need to go look for her!”

“Did either of you two stop to think maybe she’s here from the Crescent Pack?” Mum gestures to the guest that are being led inside.

“You should come and greet the guests, as Future Alpha’s it is a responsibility anyway. Where are the other two?” She frowns. “Call them and inform them I want them here, and NOT to bring those she wolves.”

Noah

Levi and I are settled in at a booth of the town’s diner with the girls. It’s not exactly where we want to be, usually we just fuck them and go about our day but little shit like this every now and then keeps them from wining so much so tonight we obliged and took them out. Levi and I get a shared mind link from Xavier.

“She’s here.”

“Who’s here?”

“Mate!?” Levi asks excitedly and Haiden chimes in too.

“Both Xavier and I scented her here in town. We haven’t tracked her yet. We lost the scent.”

“We’re coming.” I tell them and Levi nods at me from across the table as we both get up.

“HEY! Where are you two going!? You said this was our night to choose something to do!” Lucy’s squeaky voice berates me but I don’t pay her any mind as I walk away. If my mates here, I’ll find her.

Levi

I can’t believe after seven years of waiting that our mate was finally here. Not only was she here but apparently she was gone too. I was mentally kicking myself, I’m sure Noah was too because we were out with the girls we had missed the opportunity to pick up her scent. A scent that Xavier and Haiden tell us was the most eluting and delicious thing in the world.

“FUCK!” I kick the sofa in our private wing. “How did she just slip through our fingers like that!? What if we’ve lost her for good!?”

“We’ll find here. She had to have been here for a reason.” Xavier, forever the peace maker states but even I can detect the uncertainty in his voice.

Haiden comes back into the room with a stack of paperwork.

“What’s that?”

“Patrol shifts. Maybe we can ask whoever was on duty who came and went today.”

“That might be an issue.” Xavier runs a hand through his hair. “The warriors on gate shift today were left unconscious after a group of rogues attacked.”

“And we had deliveries, guests, and multiple packs came and went from our hospital.” Noah adds.

Being one of the largest packs with the best resources means that we allow other packs assistance regularly. Our mate could literally be anyone, from anywhere and have come here for any reason and there’s no way for us to track her.

“FUCK!”
