Chapter 3: Finding His True Mate

( Jack's POV )

It was an early morning and I had a lot of duties to fulfill. Being the Alpha Prince of all werewolves and the soon-to-be Alpha werewolf King of the

( Salt Rock ) pack. I had to travel a lot for my father, to learn to take over all the duties from my father one day. My Father had been preparing me for the day that I would be the Alpha king so that my father could step down from the throne and retire.

All the wolf packs had a lot of respect for my father because he helped them a lot over the years. I only wish is, that I would also be a great king like my father one day. Our pack already had a lot of respect for me, even though I was still very young in human age, but in werewolf age, 26 is considered to be very old. All male werewolves usually find their true mate at a young age. At around 15 and 22, but not me. I have searched for my true mate for many years now. I went to all the wolf pack villages and never found her. I have always thought that she most probably hasn't come of age and turned into her wolf form yet, for that is the reason why I haven't found her yet. Over the years I have had many She-Wolves women who accompanied me to bed, for whom I just used to satisfy my needs. But never something more. I never felt love towards any of them. That spark I craved like the other werewolves was never there.

I was at my home next to the lake one night, because I didn't feel like spending the night at my parent's big Mansion in the Pack City. The werewolves had their city away from the humans where they could be themselves, and run freely in their wolf form and not be discovered by the humans.

On this particular night, I felt restless and had the urge to be by the lake house. It was strange. I had no idea why I felt this way tonight, but I thought that I might get some peace of mind after I was here.

I'm pacing up and down in the house, unable the shake this restless feeling inside of me. My wolf is on edge. I decided to go run in my wolf form. Maybe that will shake this feeling I have of restlessness inside me. I stripped down naked and leaped into the air, and as I leaped, I shifted into my wolf form. My wolf form was huge. Bigger than the rest of the male wolves, because I was an alpha and a prince.

My wolf form has dark brown fur like my own human hair, but it also had a tint of black fur between the brown fur, making it look more vicious.

I started running at unimaginable speed. It would be impossible for a human eye to see me. I ran past the lake, and deeper into the woods until I was almost close to the road. I came to a stop when I smelled something that aroused my wolf's senses. It's an unfamiliar smell. I've never smelled it before. It has a sweet soft flower smell. But it is not a flower. I lift my nose into the air to get a better smell. I got the scent and I started following the scent to the main road where a car was parked beside the road. I slowly moved forward until I was behind a bush near the road. Trying not to make a sound. I notice a young girl standing outside the car, and staring off into the horizon. I move a bit behind the bush to get a better look at the girl with the most desirable scent I have ever smelled. Her scent makes it feel like there is static around my entire body. I Accidentally step on a branch with my big paws ' Fuck '

She turned around and our eyes met for the first time " Mate ! ", It's our Mate " My inner wolf shouted. She is the one we have been waiting for. Finally, after all this year of searching for her. I want to jump out from behind the bush and Mark her right there, but I can smell that she is human. I rather stay behind the bush. I don't want to scare her, I can already see in her eyes that she is shocked and scared. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, and that is when I decided to run off before she could see what I truly was.

When she got back in the car and drove off, I followed her to make sure where she went, because I didn't want to lose her before I even got i chance to meet her. She turned off onto a dirt road I know very well and she went to a farmer's house. The Farmer's name is Buck and we have been doing business with him for years. It looks like she knows Buck because she kissed him on the cheek. How come I had never seen her before? I stay hidden in the forest. observing from a distance. Luckily I have x-ray vision and I could see that they unpacked her car and it looked like she was staying for a while at Bucks.

Back at the lake house, my restlessness is gone and I know why I felt that way. It was because of her, my Mate. She was close by. But now I'm struggling to figure out how a human can be my true Mate. It was never heard of before. The moon goddess must be playing a joke on me, or was this the reason I never found her? She was never a werewolf, she was a human. I looked in all the wrong places. I try to wrap my mind around all of this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I went to bed with peace in my soul, knowing that my Mate was nearby. I will go to my parent's mansion first thing tomorrow and tell them the good news.

The Next day I arrived early at the mansion to speak with my parents. They are both sitting in the garden next to the dam, having their morning Coffee and breakfast. I sat down at the table and poured myself a cup of coffee, and one of the servants brought me a plate of food.

" So son, What is on your mind this morning that you have decided to join us for breakfast " Father asked.

" Is everything okay with the pack?" Mother asked with a concerned expression on her face.

" Yes, everything is fine with the pack. There is no trouble. It's just that last night when I went running, I found my true Mate " Mom jumped up from her chair and ran to hug me" That is wonderful my dear. I'm so glad that you have finally found her " Turning around to sit in her chair again.

" I am so glad for you my son, but why the long face, aren't you happy about finding your her?"

" It's not that. I'm over the moon. The only problem is, I discovered that she is a Human and I don't know how a human can be a true Mate for a werewolf"

My parent's eyes widened from what I just told them. They also never heard of a human being a werewolf's true Mate.

" Maybe the Moon Goddess has a special plan for you dear," Mom says, trying to comfort me.

" You should bring her so that we can meet our future daughter inlaw" Dad gives me a wink.

" Dad, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. She is human and doesn't know our customs. I would have to let her get to know me and go dating like the humans do before I can tell her about What I really am. For now, I will get to know her from a distance and observe her"

One afternoon I was busy having a meeting with the pack about the patrolling routine. I want to change the routine because we have been having intruders from outcast wolves entering our territory without permission. I was still busy with the meeting when all of a sudden I caught a sniff of a familiar scent. ' Mate! ' My wolf growled. I cut the meeting short, and I took off. One of my Omegas, Matt comes with me because his my right-hand man.

Just as I got near the lake, I asked Matt to stay behind and keep watch. I went closer to where the girl was. I hid behind a big old tree and watched her from a distance. She was swimming in the crystal clear water of the lake. It is the same lake where I built my house. I saw her clothes hanging from a branch. I sneaked closer to where her clothes were hanging and snatched her shirt from the branch and stuffed it in my pocket. I sneaked back to my previous hiding place.

After a while, she came out of the lake. She was wearing a black bathing suit that went very low down her back and I could see her spine all the way just above her round arse. In the front, it showed just enough cleavage to make me crazy. My wolf howls. He wants to mark his mate. I must fight every urge in my body to keep him at bay. I noticed that she was looking for her shirt, and I instantly regretted taking it. She gave up looking for her shirt after a while and went to lie down in the sun. I was so mesmerized by the shape of her body, her full breasts and her long dark hair. She had the face of an innocent baby doll and full round lips.

Standing there behind the tree, I was fighting the urge to just go and kiss her on those full plump lips and pull her body tight against mine, so that I could feel her full breasts up against me. My inner wolf is howling for her. Screw this, I have been staying away for too long. I left my hiding spot and went to the horse that was tied up to a tree. As I went closer, the horse got startled. I grabbed the horse's, stroking its face so that it could calm down. The girl must have heard the horse getting startled and jumped up. She Asked if she could help me. I turned around to look into her eyes. As I turned around, I knew that she must have felt something for me too, because she looked lost in thought. I'm fighting the urge to not just grab her and tell her that she is my mate., but I don't. I didn't want to scare her away.

We exchanged a few words, and then I jumped up the horse and reached for her hand to pull her up the horse. As our hands touched, sparks went through my body and I knew then and there that I would do anything in my power to protect her. She was mine, and no one else's.

Saying goodbye to her at her uncle's house was the most painful thing I've ever had to do.
