Hearing the annoting sound of my alarm clock, I slam my fist down on it probably breaking it completely. Snapping my eyes open as I realize what today is.

My eighteenth birthday. The day I would take over position as Alpha over my pack, Silent Moon Pack. Of course I'm a werewolf and a pretty handsome one at that. With my hazel eyes that all the girls in the pack drooled over. Chiseled jawline with high cheek bones to match and slightly curly brown hair. All while standing at a good 6'4.

Hopping in the shower, I wash up as well as washing my hair. Drying off, I go to the sink brushing my teeth and washing my face in a hurry as I wanted to meet my mate already. Putting on a blue button down with a simple pair of jeans. I jog to the kitchen seeing everyone in the pack standing there. Girls giddy as they hope their the one. But just smelling all the pack, I didn't pick up any trace of my mate.

my wolf, Eli, whined. Emitting a slight growl I walk outside and the wind starts blowing. Slight traces of mango and shea butter come to my nose and I follow it.

It led deep into the forest and I grew worried. "Why would they be in thw forest, rouges are out here they could be hurt." I think and just that thought I hasten the chase to follow the scent.

It leads to a cottage that a new pack member had requested for privacy reason. Shifting into my wolf,shaking out my dark brown fur. Sniffing at the corners of the house, the scent gets strongers.

"Alpha, what brings you to this side of the forest?" I hear making me perk up seeing the new pack member, Gene. He moved here with his wife and new born baby.

You might be asking, why let human move into your territory. But Gene was born into a werewolf family. His mother was werewolf and his father was human. Though he should of been a werewolf,

"Smell mate here." I mindlink him as I smell my mate on him making me growl lowly. "Your welcome to search." Gene offers opening the door for me. Walking inside, my nose is filled with the smell of my mate and I have to control myself from not running through it.

Following the smell all over the house, I finally come to a living room Gene's wife, May, I think was playing with a baby who was sitting in a walker. Walking to them I sniff the air once more and the source of the smell was the baby.

"You have clothes, to borrow Gene." I mindlink him and he looks confused as he goes to get some spare clothes. "Hello Alpha." May says as she continues feeding my mate. Nodding my head at her, Gene comes back with a pair of basketball shorts in hand. Taking them in my mouth, I go to another room shifting back to my humanoid form. Slipping on the shorts, I walk back to the living room sitting on the couch beside May.

"Can I hold him?" I ask softly looking at my angel of a mate. "Umm...yes just be careful." May says slowly as she picks up my mate handing him to me. Making sure to hold him correctly, I can't help but cradle him to my chest.

"What's his name?" I ask softly as my angel looks at me in wonder as he grabs my fingers.

"Yoshi Shiro." May says a smile in her voice. "Yoshi." I smile as it rolls off my tongue. My mate giggles as he holds my finger.

"Yoshi is your mate. Isn't he Alpha?" Gene asks softly as he catches my attention. "Yes. We can work out a schedule. Whatever works for you. He's really beautiful." I say as I look at Yoshi.

"Well Alpha, you can come over anytime to visit Yoshi. But for now Gene and I have to go out of town for a few days. We were going to get a baby sitter but do you want to watch him?" May offers and Gus is practically jumping in happiness.

"Thank you. This means alot to me. I'll take good care of him." I say nodding my head to both Gene and May. May smiled as Gene arched a eyebrow.

"Alpha can I speak with you outside?" Gene asked. "Umm...yeah sure." I say hesitantly as we stand. Handing my mate back to his mother, I follow Gene outside.

"You don't have to call me Alpha. It's just Augustus or Gus." I say antsy to get back to my mate.

"I'm not going to keep you from Yoshi because I know how important a mate is. But I swear to you Augustus you hurt my pup in any way, I'm going to hurt you. Understand." Gene said firmly and though my wolf was growling I kept him down.

"Understood and I probably will hurt him but I just hope he forgives me." I say. Gene nods before he gives me a smile. Walking back inside, I instantly hear crying making me wince.

Gus growls out. Walking back to May, I see her pacing the floor with a crying Yoshi in her arms. "I don't really know why he's crying. We fed, he's diaper is still clean." May fretted as Gene chuckled.

Reaching for my angel, May hands him to me as I cradle him. "What has my angel crying?" I coo to Yoshi, who starts giggling as I wipe his tears.

"Unbelievable. Let me show you where everything is." May laughs as she shows me the house.

The cottage was actually pretty spacious. Carpet floors in the bed room and the living room so Yoshi could crawl around.

Settling in the kitchen as May starts cooking, I sit at the dining table as does Gene.

"Okay now to settle a schedule." Gene says as Yoshi giggles as he holds my finger close to him.

"As said before you can come anytime. If not we'll let you know ahead of time. But we would like personal family time on Sunday. Thats the rules. We are not going to tell him about werewolves, we would appreciate you holding off to until he is 18. " Gene says as I nod looking down at my mate who smacked my chest.

"Understood. But what form should I take when I come visit? It'll be weird if I'm known as a uncle then he grows up thinking its incest." I say looking at Gene as May sets down homemade chicken noodle soup.

"You could be his dog, we'll say your just your some kind of dog." May suggests shrugging her shoulders as she sits Yoshi in his high chair.

"That's demeaning, May." Gene scoffs at May. "Actually that will work perfectly but tell him my name is Gus. I don't want my mate calling me Max or Bert." I say as May laughs lightly.

"Deal." Gene says shaking my hand like this was a business deal. Nodding, I thank May for the food as I eat.

"Augustus Hill, where are? You've been missing all day?!" My mom mindlinked me sounding frantic. "It's a long story but I tell you when I get back." I mindlink her. I groan lightly before my eyes settls on Yoshi as he makes a fuss not eating his baby food.

"Yoshi." I say and his head turn to me. "Mind your mom." it seemed that he was behaving as he suppose to.

"You know its amazing that he's responding to the mate bond and he's only a infant." Gene remarks looking at Yoshi. "It's because of primal instincts. All babies have them and Yoshi's is strong seeing as you come from a family of werewolves. So it makes sense he's responding." I explain as I finish my soup.

"I'm going to leave for now. When do I have to be here tomorrow?" I ask standing as Yoshi started making a fuss.

"Nine at best. Good night Alp-Gus." Gene says as he finishes eating. Going over to Yoshi, I lean down kissing his head.

"If he cries to much, you can call me at the pack house. Thank you for today." I say before I exit the cottage. Removing the borrowed basketball shorts. I shift before running back to the pack house.

Arriving I see my mom pacing in front of the pack house angrily. "Where have you been young man? Do you know how worried I've been?" My mom said clearly upset as she pinched my ear and twists it.

Shifting back I sigh as I but the shorts on. "Let me explain. But lets get inside." I say ushering mom inside seeing dad sipping a beer on the couch. Going to sit in the living room, I take a breath.

"So did you find your mate?" Dad asked as I nodd before explaining the situation to them. How my mate is only a baby, and everything of that sort.

"Wow. Well, we trust your judgement." Mom said calming down. Nodding, I sigh as I hear the phone going off.

Time to go be there for my angel of a mate.
