Chapter 1 Don't Want A Mate

• Alpha Eric's POV
• ''Stop this, father, I've had enough. I told you my mate would come when the time is right, and right now I love my girlfriend, and I am happy with her.'' I angrily stood to my feet and was about to leaving, but dad's voice stopped me.
• “Stop right there young man, you may be a powerful alpha, but I'm still your father.'' Dad's voice echoed in the house.
• Dad was a jovial fellow, but whenever he gets angry, I see a different person in him and I really wanted to avoid such a scene.
• Tiredly, I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, and sat back on the couch while he stared at me with an irritated look before speaking up.
• “You have to find your mate, he or she is your second half, and you can't be a powerful Alpha without your mate.''
• ''I don't want a mate dad, I'm fine with Sophie, she has all I need in a woman.'' I blurted out with annoyance.
• “Sophie is a gorgeous lady, no doubt, but she is not your mate, and that's a fact.'' dad spoke in an intense tone,
• ''And what if I don't have a mate?''The thought of that made me optimistic. At least I could be with Sophie.
• “That's not possible. The moon goddess gives every wolf a mate, and I'm sure you have one. You just don't want to find him or her.''
• Again, another lecture from dad about finding my mate. This has been a regular topic between dad and I for the past seven years.
• He has been tormenting me about finding my mate, even when he knew I loved Sophie and was happy with her.
• ''Are you even listening?'' Dad's voice brought me back from my thoughts.
• Grunting softly, I stood on my feet and put on my jacket.
• “I have a conference in the next one hour.'' I lied so l could escape dad's blabbering and lecturing.
• “When will you visit again? .''dad asked,
• “Whenever you want me to.'' I said those words and hurriedly left the mansion.
• My driver spotted me walking towards the car and quickly opened the door for me to get in.
• I might be a different person to my dad, but to others, I was seen as a cold-blooded alpha. I don't have many friends, and I was really okay with it.
• I picked up my phone and dialed Sophie's line. It rang a few times before she picked up.
• ''Hello dear.'' she spoke with a sweet, alluring voice which made my dick shift in anticipation.
• “Where are you?'' I asked.
• “Home.''
• “Wait right there. I'm on my way.''
• ''I will be waiting''. She replied, and I ended the call with a smile on my face.
• “Take me to Sophie's apartment.''
• “Yes sir.''
• We were close to Sophie's apartment when I noticed dad was calling, which made me wonder why he was calling.
• Sighing heavily, I picked up the call and placed it on my ear.
• “What now, Dad?''
• The line was silent, but I could hear voices in the background.
• “Hello, Dad.'' I called out again, but got no response from him.
• “Dad.'' I grumbled. Still no response from him.
• Grunting heavily, I was about to end the call when a voice spoke up.
• “Hello, anyone there.'',
• The moment I heard her voice, I froze instantly.
• “Hello.'' she yelled repeatedly,
• “Yes, I'm here.'' I quickly snapped out of my thought.
• “Listen, your father just had a heart attack right in a grocery shop, but not to worry, we're taking him to a nearby hospital. Can you come over?''
• I felt my palm become sweaty all of a sudden, and my heartbeat increased,
• “Hello, are you there?'' she called out again.
• “Yes, I'm on my way.''
• “Please hurry up.''she said those words and quickly ended the call.
• “Turn around.''
• Throughout the drive, I couldn't get my thoughts over who she was, and why I reacted that way by just the mere sound of her voice.
• Within a few minutes, I got to the hospital, and was taken to dad's room.
• I got in and saw him busy pressing his phone like nothing really happened.
• “Jesus Christ, dad, you scared me.''
• He raised his eyebrows at me , but did not say a word.
• I sighed in relief and walked over to him.
• “How are you?'' I asked while glancing around, checking if I could see any machine plugged on him, and gladly there was none.
• “Stop looking around and sit.'' dad's voice came out strong,
• “Your voice is strong for one who just had a heart attack.'', I whispered to myself, but he heard me.
• “It wasn't serious, the young lady who saw me was just over reacting.'' Dad replied nonchalantly.
• The moment I heard dad say those words, my thoughts went to her, and strangely, I felt eager to meet her.
• “Where is she?'' I asked.
• “Who.'' dad asked, confused.
• “The young lady who brought you here.'',
• ''Oh, she left.'' dad replied with his gaze fixed on his phone.
• For some strange reason, I felt sad and disappointed.
• ''Is everything okay.'' dad asked, settling his gaze on me.
• ''You are lying in a hospital bed, how can everything be okay.''I grumbled, which made dad gave me a hard look before going back to his phone.
• “Where is the doctor?'' I asked,
• ''Probably in his office.''
• “I'll be right back.'' I said those words and was about leaving the room for the doctor's office when, suddenly, the door of the room opened widely, and a human figure rushed into the room.
• The person didn't know I was about to open the door, rushed in and accidentally hit my chest. The sound that came out from the person's mouth indicated it was a lady.
• “Ooh”.She exclaims in pain,
• I watched her massage her forehead with her eyes closed in pain for a moment, before she slowly opened her eyes and locked eyes with me.
• The moment we met eyes with each other, my wolf growled loudly and wispered to me,
• ''Mate.''
