Chapter 13: Mate?... Oh Hell No!
[TAMIKO]
"Should we wake him up? He's so lame for sleeping at a party," Judd said when he spotted Tamiko at the corner sleeping. He hadn't expected that Tamiko would even show up and now that he had, he was itching to cause him some trouble.
"No, let's wait for our mates. It's already midnight and the moon is at its peak. Let him be, besides, we can do with him whatever we want tomorrow," Zakhar said to his friends, like he was reminding them to focus on what had brought them here.
"Fine, you're no fun. Let's go mingle and wait for our mates," Gabe said dismissively as he and his friends went back to the crowd, ignoring the freak who was having a really peaceful nap amidst the loud music.
Tamiko was strange, but wasn't he also a strange darling?
Soon enough, there were whispers all over, with the unmated claiming their mates. It was a beautiful sight really, one that made the pack happy. Judd and Zahar had gotten their mates, and Danny too, had gotten his mate.
Gabe on the other hand, hadn't gotten a mate and was still waiting. He didn't have any worries because as the alpha's son, he would definitely find a mate tonight so he could take over the pack, and he was excited for it.
As the night progressed, the wolves who had found their mates, disappeared into the night with their partners, silently and excitedly leaving the party to get to know their mates better.
One by one, the ceremonial hall was growing emptier, and even then, Gabe hadn't found a mate, despite his friend finding their mates and leaving the ceremony as was expected. The wolves that remained were either unmated or had been mated earlier and still wanted to have some fun.
