THE MATE AGENCY

“Enough of the bickering!” my aunt yelled you could literally see the anger on her face, I wonder why she was so serious I mean we're just talking, I completely ignored her while Elias adjusted in his sit “Elias is the new Alpha of the silverline pack, he’s taking over from his father’s position so I asked that we see me in person” aunt Carissa continued, she’s kidding right she knew just how to torture me why did she have to mention the name of the pack my mom was going to before she died that was when I lost it

“Do you hate me that much?” I asked her “I can’t hate you if I wanted to, your my niece” she told me with a smile

“Then why did you bring him here? you could have met him anywhere like at a cafe or something but you brought him here, you knew it was his pack mum was going to when she died” I yelled at her my voice was starting to crack but I didn’t allow her to butt in I turned to Elias

“And you how do I know your pack didn’t kill my mum, apart from my family, the underworld council and your pack no one knew she was coming there so how was she ambushed?” I directed my words at him

“How could you even ask me that? Look I may seem cold and distant but my pack members are innocent I personally conducted an investigation after Aunt Karen’s death and I didn’t find anything that linked them to her death” he told me as he looked straight into my eyes I could feel it he was being honest but why was he calling mum Aunt ,I basically accused him how do I apologize to him I thought “wait why did you call my mum aunt” I asked Elias

“Oh , our parents were really close though I wasn’t usually around that’s probably why we never met” oh hat explains it “Look I’m sorry I didn’t mean to lash out on you like that” I told him quietly I couldn’t meet his eyes I was scared to “It’s okay I know your still hurting” .

“So that was a beautiful exchange” Aunt Carissa said

“Yeah it sure was”I nearly rolled my eyes at Aunt Carissa ,” Anyways Elias this is my best friend Ava” I told him there was a small exchange between them and then soon after Elias stood up to go and then Ava left too so I went upstairs to take a shower and then I laid on my bed waiting for the sleep to take me but just before I slept my wolf sky kept was calling out to Elias and I almost cautioned her why were we suddenly thinking of him, usually us werewolves can talk to her wolves they are a part of us they don’t always talk just when they find it necessary and eventually I fell asleep.

Today was one of those days where I felt waking up was a mistake, my mood was off, I felt alone and my head just keeps rotating around all the things that have happened this few months I guess I was healing but sometimes I feel like I’m back to square one like I’m stuck in this page in a book and I can’t move to the next chapter, I decided to visit the orphanage so that it will better my mood, I usually visited there with mum we would buy toys, snacks, novels for the kids we would spend the day with the kids sometimes we would go on picnics I needed to go there I think going there would make me feel closer to my mum. I took a quick shower, I straightened my dark hair as I studied my face in the mirror I looked like my mum I had her brown eyes even her hair I missed her so much, I opened my closet I took out a black knitted sweater and paired with a blue high waisted jeans then I wore my black vans that I got from nike.

I got into my car I stopped at the store and got some snacks, games, food, that I could take there I even got some clothes for the kids. When we find stray kids like this we usually take them to the orphanage so they don’t end up becoming either rouge wolves or lone wolves and also they can be taken care of, at least they can be trained and prepared when their wolf comes out they usually get their wolf at the age of sixteen and with time that can be transferred into pack houses. Lone wolves are wolves without families they live on their own their scent is usually different from pack wolves and they can be dangerous because they’ve lived alone most of their lives and then rouge wolves are wolves that ran away from their pack and the form their own pack they usually have this forest and swamp smell because that Is where they stake out, you can say rouge wolves are our enemies whenever there’s an opportunity they use it to attack us, I didn’t realize when I reached the gate of the orphanage , I collected my gate pass from the security outside as another security directed me where to pack my car the car that was parked beside mine looked like Elias’s car the one that was parked outside my house yesterday maybe it was just a similar car just when I thought it wasn’t his sky decided to speak “He’s here” she said “So what” I told my wolf and she growled back at me

“ I like him”

“Yeah right”

I gazed up at the old orphanage, a mix of nostalgia and melancholy washing over me. This place held memories of my mother and brought a sense of connection to my mum, I entered the building, the sound of laughter and playful shrieks quickly brightened my mood, a small figure ran to me

“Aunt Sage” one of the kids Petra called my name excitedly “Hey princess” I hugged her back and I turned to their Matron justina “Hello , Sage its been a while”

“Yeah, I see your doing well”

“Yes, I’m sorry about Aunt Karen’s death she was a great person”

“It’s okay she’s here with us”

“Would you like to have some coffee we actually have another guest” justina told me

“Really… Who could it be?” I asked her

“Are you stalking me princess?” a familiar voice boomed through the corridors and my heart started beating really fast why was I nervous I mean it’s just Elias. I took a look at his appearance he was looking handsome and breathtaking as always, he was dressed in a faded black leather jacket which added and edgy touch to his simple white tank top and worn jeans.

“You wish, I used to visit this place with my mum I came because I wanted to feel closer to her”

“I can understand that” his eyes were almost like he was pitying me , I hate those eyes someone gives you like your broken but I didn’t say anything “That reminds me I’m sorry for your loss” this times his eyes looked truthful “it’s okay , I’m getting better thank you” I told him

“So why don’t we have some fun with the kids”

“Yeah sure”
