I Scored Myself A Mate

"The wind is annoying. The smeeo of the sea is annoying. My hair keeps getting into my eyes and I'm tired. I want to go home. Turn the ship around!" Daniel shouted. "Take me back to London!" He pushed frantically the stray strands of hair that flew everywhere because of the strong wind. His hands in the air as he tried to pushe them behind his ears. He kept running his eyes and hairs got into his mouth. 

"Oh please dear Daniel stop whining. We've been in this ship for only a week and everyday I keep hearing the same things all over again and again. We are definitely not turning the ship around just because the air is ruining your hairstyle." Markus said and pushed his glasses back. He turned to his side and faced the annoyed wolf with a bright smile that seemed to annoy Daniel even more.

"Keep going, I like it. You look cute when you whine." Adam said, looking at Daniel on the eyes. His mate scoffed, his small nose wrinkled as he heard Adam speak and tried to walk away. The Alpha's son though grabbed his arm stopping him.

"If you don't let me go to my room I will jump on the sea. Don't test me." He threatened him and Adam chuckled.

"During this whole trip you have been locked in there. Why don't you enjoy the scenery with me?" Adam asked him and looked at the endless ocean with his cloudy eyes. Daniel mimicked him staring at the endless blue, wild and scary his heart was scared about what he would find at the other side of the ocean. He looked away focusing on Adam's face. His clear eyes, such a cold color and his half open lips. His dark hair fring his handsome features. He matched the scenery too well, too beautiful for Daniel to be able to focus on the sea. It was him, dressed with his day clothes, his hat and everything about him screamed elegance. How could he look somehwere else? 

"Oh god Daniel you're drooling." Markus made fun of him and the young man flinched, slapping him on the shoulder. 

"Bloody idiot." He mumbled and looked away from Adam flustered. 

"I'm going to eat. Lovebirds have fun" Markus said as he rubbed his smacked shoulder. Daniel and Adam were left alone, the sun slowly falling only a few sailors walking around. It was getting more chilly as the night approached.

"I am going to my room." Daniel said.

"Stay with me a bit longer. Please, don't be mad." He begged him and Daniel scowled. Ready for a fight.

"Well I wonder why am I mad? Could it possibly be because you lifted me up like a sack of potatoes, passed me over your shoulder and dragged me into the ship?" Daniel shouted remembering the embarrassing scene.

"Oh come on. If you wanted to leave you could. Don't fool yourself." Adam said.

"Well I am leaving!" Daniel shouted and jumped over the railing. He fell right into the sea, swallowed by the nasty waves as Adam stood stunned looking at him terrified. 

"Daniel!" He called out and his mate appeared, drenched and panting.

"I don't know how to swim!" He shouted water getting into his lungs. "Why didn't you stop me!" He screamed and Adam's sighed. He took off his coat and jumped off, grabbing him and skillfully bringin the both up. He grew Daniel over the railing, him landing on the ship's deck slightly violently and he coughed letting out bunch of water.

"Have you gone utterly mad? What was that? Do you hate me that much to put your life in danger? Is that it?" Adam asked him filled with anger. Daniel was sitting on the floor, panting. It was the first time he was seeing him so flustered. His eyes were wide, hands in fists and his chest moved frantically as he breathed in strongly. "I...I hoped that you...what the hell Daniel. If you hate me that much I'll leave you alone but don't scare me like this. Bloody idiot." He screed at him and walked away, his heavy footsteps vibrating the iron floor.

What did he do just now? Daniel wondered. Why did he jump? He shook his head confused. Did he really want Adam to jump in with him, some kind of romantic moment that would remain in time? His eyes widened shocked. You fool. He mumbled as he stood up, his body heavy. You wanted to get his attention but he just walked away furious. He thought disappointed. What kind of childish act was that? Now I will have to go and apologize. He talked particularly to no one. He felt the cold twice stronger now, his wet clothes sticking disgustingly to his body. He headed towards Adam's room, his arms wrapped around himself and knocked on the iron door. There was no answer though. He opened it peeking inside rudely but his mate was nowhere to be seen. He turned around and wondered off. Searching for Adam not really caring about the looks he was getting from the staff and the passengers. 

The more he walked the deeper into the enormous ship he found himself until he reached the lower class travelers. Bunk beds stacked everywhere, with little to no heating. People cramped sitting on their beds, babies crying. 

He would be there too, if Adam hadn't found him. These people from factory workers were heading straight into being miners. A work even more horrible and tiring than the previous one. He had to help Adam. He had to find a way and help them, educate tj give them rights. They were all wolves like him but there was such a big difference between them. Daniel was despicable too, he had taken Richard's filthy money. He had grabbed the chance of leaving the dirt and the mud without arguing. He was preaching and scolding but he too had become greedy, money thirsty and once heade his own money, held them in his hands, once he became known for his job and respected he forgot everything about them. About the dreams he had made. Adam hadn't forgotten though. He wasn't Sawyer that easily and he waited. He waited for a chance to give them everything, a better life. He waited for a chance to come and get him even though he was half mad he kept going. He held on. The darkness in his heart was rooted there, it would never leave but he fought with everything he got. Daniel knew that this man, his mate, he was truly incredible. He thought and turned around, the need to see him, to tell him, overtaking him. 

He walked outside, trying to find his way back through the dark corridors, walking slowly as the light seemed to be dim. He had perfect hearing, he could notice someone from really far away so it wasn't hard for him to hear the footsteps. Five people following him, as he does up they did too. His breathing became unstable. He took a sudden turn, bidding at a corner, covering his mouth so his ratchet breathing would not be heard. Why were they following him? Who were they? He wondered. After a while he stopped hearing their footsteps. He sneaked out of the corner he was hiding taking another turn hoping that soon he would be out of this maze like corridors. He was at the bottom of the ship and suddenly he missed incredibly the blowing wind and the stench of the sea because down here it was suffocating and dark. He was flustered and confused. He didn't know how he got there in the first place and he looked around trying to find the right turn but it was hopeless. He began running, his eyes closed since he was afraid. Adam. He needed to find Adam.

"Adam. Where are you?" He shouted feeling his eyes water. His voice echoed and he heard it again and again. His empty question. He was alone. He couldn't find a way out.

"Well, well, well. This is Adam's little bitch." He heard someone say and he turned around. His eyes widened as he faced five young men. Five men he knew, five men that used to hurt him. They were the ones that followed him. For some reason they were after him again. Daniel took a step back, seing them approach. He felt the wall, cold and unfriendly on his back. A dead end. He was stuck.

"What do you want?" He asked them. He wanted to sound strong, unflinching but the cracking in his voice betrayed him easily.

"We were wondering where you were. After you met the Alpha's son we couldn't play with you. Then you disappeared while we still died at the factory and now you return living at the top floors while we rot in here? That's not fair mate, we are all from the same old slums. Or did you forget that?" He asked him with a vicious grin. 

Daniel didn't know what to say. He could never believe they would be this vindictive. He already knew what was coming at him. No reason to doubt. 

"I think it's time we remind you." He said and his friends began laughing. It was quite the bothering scene and to Daniel it was a nightmare comming true.

They were going to kill him.
