Filed to story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
There were three warlocks that came and introduced themselves after Trevor. I always hated how Warlocks had no scent for us so they threw me off. I wonder if a warlock mated with a wolf or other shifter, would they have a scent then? That would be interesting to find out.
I was absentmindedly lost in thought, thinking about my little brain teaser when the next envoy was supposed to be walking up. I didn’t even pay attention to who was supposed to be next and so I was thrown through a loop when I noticed my wolf howling inside my head.
‘Mate. Mate. Mate. Mate. Mate. Mate.’ He was panting and kept repeating the same word over and over again.
I snapped my head in her direction and gasped at the beauty I saw before me. She had long, wavy, dark brown hair. Her eyes looked like they were the color of the sun itself. And her body, so beautiful and so sexy with that narrow waist, firm arms, and that tanned, sun kissed looked. She was perfect.
I couldn’t help it then. I stood up and looked at her with my mouth hanging open. She was perfect. And oh that scent. She smelled like a sweet bubbling brook in the mountains that was surrounded by wild berries. Sweet, tart, and frest all at the same time.
“Joaquin?” I barely registered Riviana’s voice as I stared at the woman who had just captured my heart.
“It looks like another of your guards has found a mate. This is very good for the pack.” Joaquin’s words barely registered as well, all I wanted was to stare at this woman forever.
“Falena, it looks like this wedding has been very advantageous for you as well as me. I think this is cause for celebration, don’t you?” There were cheers and applause ringing through the whole party after Joaquin spoke again. “Come Lena, let me introduce you.” That was when I saw Joaquin and Riviana start walking over to where the woman was still standing, motionless.
Slowly, as if still in disbelief, the woman walked closer at the same time that I walked closer to my Alpha and Luna. With every step she took, the shock slowly disappeared from her face bringing back her radiant smile. By the time she stood right next to Joaquin and Riviana, she was beaming at me and I couldn’t have been happier.
“Shane, let me introduce you to your mate. This is Falena Areli, a lynx shifter from the Rocky Mountains Pride. Lena, meet Shane Asher, one of my mate’s guards and an excellent fighter.” I had heard him say her name twice before this but it hadn’t registered until right now. All I could do now though was stare into her eyes now that we were standing there face to face.
“Lena.” I breathed her name with a sigh and a smile.
“Shane.” She smiled right back at me.
“Let’s get you two seated together so that you can get to know each other. Lena, come by to see me later tonight or tomorrow.” Joaquin motioned for someone with a wave of his hand and whispered to them. “Please put another place setting at this table for our guest.”
I stopped paying attention after that, but I was vaguely aware that there was another mating right after mine. I didn’t care though, all I could see was the beauty sitting with me. Falena and I spent the rest of the night talking and getting to know each other. She was twenty-four with a birthday next month in April, I was going to be twenty-seven in August. We both loved nature, had similar tastes in music, and we both had important positions in our packs. I couldn’t get enough of her and wanted to see her more. She even lived close by so I could see her quite easily.
We made plans to go on our first date in three nights, it was going to be perfect. I could show her how much of a gentleman I really was and there was nothing keeping us from jumping into this mating with no reservations. We were shifters, and we were mates, that’s the majority of the info that we would need to make all of this work out.

Well, that was a more exciting wedding than I had expected it to be. Yeah sure, there was the ceremony, there was the reception, there was me finding a mate and then another person finding a mate, and finally the Sentinelle showing up to announce that the Red Springs pack had the newest incarnation of the Moon Goddess. Nothing big right?
Fuck that! It was massive as all fucking hell. I can’t believe I found my mate at that wedding. And to think that I didn’t even want to go. I would have kicked my own ass if I hadn’t gone and met him. Not to mention Shane was hot as well. I loved the look of his body too, I couldn’t wait to lick all over him with my tongue.
What? I am an animal you know. I’m allowed to act like it every now and then.
Right now I was on my way back to the pack house. I needed to tell Landon what had happened. I just knew he was going to have a field day with this knowledge.
When I knocked on the door to his office he grumbled his answer to me.
“Just get your ass in here Lena, why do you bother to knock?”
“Maybe because I don’t know what you’re doing and don’t want my retina scarred.” I laughed as I opened the door and walked in.
“Hardy har har. That was so funny I think I forgot to laugh.” He rolled his eyes as he set his pen down and glared at me. That was quite the feat, to roll his eyes and glare at me. I don’t know how he managed it, but that’s what he did. Multi-talented prick.
“Boy, you seem to be in such a great mood.” There was an excessive amount of sarcasm dripping from those words.
“Oh, you could tell?” His sarcasm matched my own. “I just love it when the man who is supposed to help me run this fucking company ups and leaves town without telling me. That’s the best thing in the world you know.”
“So, Greg went on that vacation he was talking about even though I told him not to?”
“Yeah, that asshat.” I watched as Landon ran his hand through his hair and sighed with exhaustion. “This is why I don’t ask for help, no one is reliable.”
“Hey, I resent that.” I laughed at him as I flopped in the chair across from him, just as exhausted from yesterday.
“Yeah, you’re the only person I seem to be able to rely on.” He laughed as he looked at me. “I’m thinking of making you my Beta you know, since I still don’t have one.”
“Seriously?” I could tell I was giving him the most shocked face I could manage.
“Yeah, what do you think?”
“I think that I am honored, seriously. Are you sure you want me?”
“I couldn’t imagine anyone else.”
“Then thank you.”
We were both smiling at each other now, happy with the outcome that the conversation had taken. I honestly couldn’t believe that he had asked me to be his Beta, that was huge. Almost as big as the news I had for him.
