I Scored Myself A Mate

"If we really want to get technical here you were the first one to betray her, you know bringing the human boy you simp for here and hiding him while she was your girlfriend." Mikael said while they were running towards the infirmary.

He had an amused look plastered on his handsome face as he watched Luke roll his eyes at him in disapprove. He didn't want to be mean or anything but he totally adored the look on Lily's face when his best friend called her a traitor. Her eyes were ready to pop off her scalp and bounce on the green grass from the shock. He hated that idea of the power couple and he especially hated her for many years since she had played a big role to his sadness. Luke though was his best friend and no matter what objections he had he would never try to intervene with his happiness so as long as she was there he just nodded and smiled but now that she was officially gone he felt like he had won an Oscar for keeping up his mask for fifty years.

"You never liked her anyways" Luke told him and Mikael laughed.

Far behind them was a panting Mark trying to keep up with their ridiculous speed. His long inhales and exhales were audible from the side halls too as he hoped that his lungs would not explode in the next few seconds.

"I just wanted to play soccer and win the cup this year. What is this?" he cried out and when Mikael heard him he stopped and turned around.

"Why are you still so far back? Don't you want to see Alex?" he asked him playfully and at that exact moment, Mark for the first time felt the need to kill someone. He desperately wanted to annihilate Mikael from this dreadful earth so he could stop harassing him with his jokes all the time. He dragged his tired feet as fast as he could and heard his stomach complain loudly.

"Yeah, that's the last thing I needed right now" he mumbled as he felt the unwanted feeling of hunger twist his stomach. "After this you owe me a royal meal" Mark said as he finally managed to catch up to them.

"Don't worry we have a really good cook here" Mikael told him

"Let's go. We are here." Luke said and turned left. There was a huge door and nothing else in the corridor.

Mark had managed to realize that their compound was very complicated. With many halls and doors everywhere and different sections for different uses. He wanted to memorize his way out just in case something bad happened and he needed to escape with Alex but it was nearly impossible after so many twists and turns to memorize even the slightest helpful detail since every part up until now looked the same.

"I think it's better for you to stay outside." Luke told him and Mark looked at him confused.

"Why?"

"You see sweetie, inside this room is Luke's dad, the Alpha and it would be really dangerous if you came along. Also we will talk about somethings that's it's best a human doesn't know. It will just put you in more danger."

"Yes but what about Alex? I need to know that he is okay."

"Alex will be okay. I will protect him and you need to help me with that by staying outside and not causing any extra problems."

"You will tell me everything that concern's Alex afterwards right?" he asked looking at Mikael.

"Of course, also he will tell you himself too. Don't worry. We won't be long."

"What if someone comes here?" Mark asked and fidgeted from one leg to the other. He didn't want to encounter some angry wolf of its way to the infirmary and get locked up in a weird cell again.

"No one will come. They tend to stay away from the Alpha."

"I see. Be quick" he said and let them enter the room.

Luke was relieved that they managed to get rid of Mark. He wanted to filter everything he would hear. He knew his father would not let Alex know anything before he was aware of the whole story himself so the boy was probably on another room. Luke was planning on knowing everything first and then informing the others. He would not let anyone take Alex away from him, even if Alex himself wanted to leave he would not give up his mate for anyone.

He was partly wright about his father not wanting Alex to know about the details. He wasn't in another room though. He was right there unconscious and turned on his belly in one of the medical beds. A familiar figure was bend above him and was examining a part of his bare back. He ran to where they were with Mikael following close behind. He recognized the figure as Markus. Their pack's occult specialist. He was very old but was looking like he was still in his early forties. He had been counseling his father, grandfather and great grandfather in all of their supernatural matters considering the other species.

He had his hair falling in messy blond curls on his shoulders and his chestnut colored eyes were focus on his mate. He had a huge scar from someone's claws on the side of his right cheek but he never told anyone how it happened.

The first one to notice them was his father. He looked at them in disapproval asked them how they got there.

"I broke your office window." He said and showed him his hand. Most of the marks had healed. Only small scratches had left to evident the rage filled event.

"Of course you did. So are you here to know about your little human who is actually not a human?"

"Yes" Luke simply replied and waited for his father to kick them out angrily or even object but he did none of the above. He seemed to be more concerned with Alex's case at the moment that he didn't care if his son was going to hear about it.

"So?" Samantha asked filled with curiosity. She had been standing quietly to the side, observing everything that was happening.

"I am afraid that your thoughts are right. He isn't a human." Markus said stealing one last glance of the elegant design before turning to look at all of them.

"So is he a witch? Or even maybe a wolf that his curse was not triggered from an extinct bloodline?" Mikael asked. He had started to feel anxious too for some reason even though he wasn't really interested in this whole guess the supernatural creature game. The atmosphere that flowed around though was too overwhelming and he had been affected by it.

"He is none. Unfortunately, he is something even more complicated." Markus said and placed his hand on his jaw while thinking.

"What is he then?" Adam asked.

"First of all since he isn't a witch or a werewolf, obviously not a vampire because vampires get turned and all of the pureblood cursed vampires are documented and still alive he is either a demon, an angel, an elf, a gorgon, something of the thousand supernatural creatures that have no bonds with the human species." He explained.

"So what you are saying is that Alex is a suppressed soul." Mikael said and Luke felt his heart clench. Anything but that. He couldn't stand it if Alex was a suppressed soul.
