I Scored Myself A Mate

1810

"Father I do think our pack needs to move. We have lived for too long in London, it's getting dangerous. I think we should be moving to America." Adam purposed. 

They were having an annual meeting. His father, his mother, his wife Eve and the family of the Beta together with the other few families were sitting at his father's office at home conversing about to the course of the pack. After the industrial revolution his father one of the few people who thought about inventing in machines had made an enormous amount of money becoming even richer than he was. The problem was that they had already been for a century at this place, people would start to suspect sooner or later, especially with them handling such huge amounts of money and managing a big part of industrial London. 

"And what do you suggest we do there?" his father asked him. After he got married to Eve their relationship had been improved significantly. Adam had let go of his dreams about equality in his pack and was working towards his father's direction. Make as much money you can, live a comfortable life. Even if the guild ate him during the night, made him unable to sleep. Even if the memories still haunted him almost a century after he had learned to live with it. His father had guaranteed that he wouldn't go mad, he was lying because Adam could feel it. The way his soul was being corrupted. How every time he looked in the mirror he saw a distorted face, an ugly smile and Daniel's tears still vividly, like a beautiful painting hanged at the halls of his mind. 

"There is gold. In America. We can begin mining. We have working hands. We can blow up the factory, fake our deaths and sail a ship with new names to the new land." He told them and everyone seemed to be surprised by his plan. Adam had excellent leadership abilities. He was innovative and smart, always able to think a few steps ahead. On the outside he looked perfect, with a perfect wife and a perfect life. It was the inside that had a problem. "You can think on it gentlemen and vote on it. Excuse me for a second" he said and rushed outside, hopping up the stairs in a hurry to get to the bathroom. 

There he threw up, letting out everything he had eaten until there was nothing left. He made sure to wash everything away with water and headed towards the sink, washing his face. He pushed back his hair. There it was, that smile on his reflection. He couldn't stand it. Then the sound of Daniel's tears would echo in his mind. 

"Shut up" he mumbled and hit the sink. "Shut it." He said again and punched the mirror, glass shards landing everywhere. 

"Adam? Are you alright?" He heard his wife's voice and turned around. She was standing at the doorframe, her long dress wiping the wet floor while she wrapped her shawl around herself. Her eyes were worried. The young wolf sighed and splashed himself with some water. He turned to her and smiled.

"Perfectly fine. Just felt a bit hot." He said. 

"But is January." She answered innocently. 

"Eve, please not now. What did they vote down stairs?" he asked her. 

"As it seems we will be leaving for the New Land. Good job Adam. Your plan was perfect. Everyone was excited about it."

"Of course they were, it's about money after all." He told her, his voice bitter as he remembered his old beliefs. The things he wanted to change. Everything had been stored away, dusty at a corner of his weak mind. "I will go to lie down a bit. I do not feel that well." He said and walked through her. The woman though stopped him. She called out his name, having something to say.

"I know where he is." She said and Adam stopped in his track, immediately turning around. 

"What are you talking about?"

"You were calling out a name in your sleep. Daniel. Every single night for years. Your condition has been getting worse no matter how hard you try to hide it. So I cornered Markus and forced him to tell me who was that man. I did some research to find that Daniel of your he…" Eve tried to speak but Adam placed his palm on her mouth, stopping her. He looked around frantically, even walking at the top of the stairs to look down and make sure no one was there, listening. He grabbed Eve's arm and led her inside their bedroom. He had to make sure no one was listening. 

"Why would you do something like that? I don't want to know! Do you have any idea how I…how hard it was for me to let it go? I…"

"He is a teacher. He went to school and even went to university. He is the headmaster at a boys' boarding school. The parents are very pleased with him and everyone is calling him a prodigy in teaching. They say he is exquisite." Eve revealed and Adam without realizing it he smiled. Of course he would become a teacher, he thought. He loved teaching children, he wanted to give them the light of knowledge. Because everyone should have the right to education. "That's the first time I've seen you smile truthfully." The woman said with a sad tone.

"I am sorry Eve. I…"

"Don't be sorry. Just go find him. The pack has expanded so much your father won't know about it. He for sure would have gotten even a bit older. Bring him to the New Land with us. You need him." She proposed and her husband looked at her with wide eyes. His grey irises stuck on her as she spoke. She couldn't believe that he was hearing right, right now. Maybe his insanity had gotten much worse. 

"What…are you serious?"

"Yes, go find him and bring him with you. Because if this keeps up you will just go mad and die. You are already lost. So just go." She said.
