“Well, what do you do for fun?” She didn’t look so happy now, like I had deflated her somehow.
“I read mostly. I never know when I will be called back into work. That’s the life of a warrior. You’re always on call.”
“Boring. Don’t you like to go out? Go to concerts? Have fun?”
“Not really. I prefer to read, listen to or play music, or watch a movie quietly at home.”
“You don’t sound fun at all. Your brother is a lot more exciting than you are.”
“Sorry, but that is just the way that I am. I am not a very outgoing person. I prefer peace and quiet.”
“That’s so blah. How can you be so uptight.” That wasn’t the first time that I had heard that I was uptight. “Ugh.” She was upset now, venting her frustrations as she put a bite of her food into her mouth.
“When dinner is over I can drop you off at your place.” I offered.
“No thanks. I will walk or get a ride.”
“Whatever you prefer.” I had had this happen to me more times than I would like to admit.
After the meal was finished I paid for the bill and we walked out of the restaurant. She stormed off to the opposite end of the parking lot. This, too, had happened to me several times. I was used to it.
I was in my car, driving to my apartment alone where I would spend the rest of my night alone. I lived alone, spent all my spare time alone, and that was fine with me. I enjoyed the calm and quiet of my own company.
I had just gotten home, shutting the door behind me, when my phone rang. I knew who it would be and didn’t even bother to check the caller ID.
“Hello Shane.” I sighed into the phone.
“What the hell, Shawn?” He demanded of me as he yelled into my ear. “How could you strike out with her? She’s a guarantee, man. She likes everyone, dude.”
“That’s not what I want.”
“What the hell do you want, Shawn. What is it that you want from a girl?”
“I don’t know, Shane. I just know I haven’t found it yet.”
“Bro, you need to meet more women or you’re never going to meet your mate.”
“I don’t care. Why do I have to focus so much on finding a girl right now?”
“It’s what we do, Shawn. It’s the way wolves do things.”
“Maybe I’m just not meant to follow in that path. Nothing ever works out for me.”
“You’re so fucking pessimistic, you know that. You need to think positively.”
“Fine, I’m positive that I don’t fucking care about finding a mate right now.”
“You’re hopeless.”
“Thank you. Now, can I go to bed?”
“Yeah, go pull one off in frustration before you fall asleep.”
“Ugh, you’re so disgusting.”
“And you’re a prude.” He laughed at me as he ended the call.
When I woke the next morning I was thinking about what my brother said. Was he right? Was I doomed to be a lonely prude for the rest of my life. Should I get out there more? Should I try to meet more women?
It didn’t matter what it all meant or what I should do. Today was going to be busy. We have the leader of the vampires coming today and all of the Luna’s guards were supposed to be there to protect her.

Was f眉r eine 眉berraschung! Oh what a surprise it was when I had that video call with the Alpha Joaquin Gray. I had known the Gray family for generations. Ever since their ancestors had still lived in the old country as they would say. Back when the boy’s great great great grandfather Ir茅l Liath had run his pack in the Irish countryside.
Over the last few hundred years my relationship with that family had remained strong and flourished. Around the start of the twentieth century we each started a new business venture. I worked with them to bring their company to Europe and they in turn helped to lead my company into the Americas. We had both profited quite a bit from our mutual cooperation.
And as all that time passed I had watched as the head of their family changed from son to son. From Ir茅l Liath to Finian Liath to Caelan Gray (this was when they changed from the Irish word for gray to the English word) to Brennan Gray, to Collin Gray and now to Joaquin Gray.
The family had had a strong run of Alphas in their blood, and I had remained loyal to them all. I just know that something special will come to this family soon enough.
