The Lycan's Soul Mate

Chapter 2 Luca

The night was young and the scent of pinecones from the nearby forest filled the air. The full moon was

only a week away and Luca could feel it’s power already. All of his senses heightened, his strength,

agility his precision. Everything was perfect since his first shift two months ago during the full moon. He

was to start college at Attica community college to keep up appearances as his mother was human a

half breed with alpha blood and appearances had to be maintained to safeguard the family wealth

passed down to him after his mother’s death 8 years ago.

His father had returned to the pack, and he was left with his caregiver Nancy who was his mother’s

best friend after he had mastered his shifts. He was to be Alpha of his pack after his father passes but

he wasn’t worried about that kind of responsibility as his father was well revered for his strength and

feared by all who’d crossed his path.

Since his shift in spite of being the son of a half breed, he was the son of an Alpha, a Lycan. His father

could bring forth his fangs, claws, and make use of all the wolf’s strengths and senses without fully

transforming and apparently so could he something that he chose to keep from his father to be

permitted to come study here at Attica. Had his father known how special Luca was, he never would

have permitted this, appearances or not. To have an heir who was just like him to have inherited the

Lycan trait is an honor above all others.

That was a secret that he would have to keep from his father to follow his heart; better yet the vision

that he had during his first shift of a beautiful white wolf with blue and green eyes. This wolf seemed to

connect with the wolf inside him. It was as if it was a part of him. Just the thought of her made the wolf

inside him jump for joy. What was wrong with him.

Luca was permitted to attend a human community college on the condition that upon completion that

he would return to his pack to choose a mate. All the she wolves of the pack were crazy about him.

They would literally throw themselves at him it was ridiculous. He could have anyone of his choosing

but he really loved a challenge. He wanted to experience the thrill of the chase; something that did not

come easy, something that he could not have; so naturally when he saw this wolf in his vision, he knew

that it was highly unlikely that he would find her, but he felt the urge to try.

Luca looked up at the sky and took a deep breath while asking the moon goddess to bless him. It is

said that the Lycans were direct descendants of the goddess and still shared a connection with her.

Luca was yet to understand this but all he cared about right now was finding the white wolf that

consumed his being ever since his first shift.

“Luca, Dinner is ready!” Nancy called from downstairs. Luca took a deep breath and smiled to himself

as he instantly presented himself to the dinner table. “Show off!” muttered Soccorah, Nancy’s half

breed daughter. Soccorah was half wolf like Nancy and half Fay. An abomination as some would call

her. But to those who knew her she was the sweetest young lady ever and she had the looks to go

along with it. She was not as magical as her Fay father as she grew up in the human world with her

mother. She growled at him as her eyes changed to its pink color. She could not shift but she inherited

her mother’s strength and ability to speak with her inner wolf.

“You’re gonna have to not use your abilities while you’re here. Allow yourself to be human in order to fit

in and not rouse suspicion Luca as difficult as this may sound.” Nancy advised. She was very worried

about Luca’s presence as she knew how special he was. “Nance, you worry too much. I know why I’m

here and believe me I’m going to make the best of it and won’t risk exposing our kind. This is great!

What is this? Chicken?”

Nancy smiled and addressed the matter at hand. “You’ve turned 17 and have had your first shift. It is

time to choose a mate. Your hormones must be raging right now as the wolf inside you grows

impatient. I worry about you here in the human world. The human girls are frail and won’t be able to

handle you. I beg you to reconsider this college thing.” Luca laughed and said “If the human girls can’t

handle me then Soccorah will keep them at bay. She will accompany me tomorrow, right?” “Wasn’t that

the arrangement?” Luca asked. “What arrangement? Am I missing something here?” Soccorah asked.

“Well Lucas’ father and I agreed that given the fact that he is an alpha that it would be best if u attach

yourself to him to keep the humans at a safe distance given the fact that they won’t be able to resist

him.”

Nancy explained. “I don’t have a problem with that but what don’t you think that this is a bit extreme?

Luca should be able to take care of himself being the next alfa of his pack and all, shouldn’t he be able

to handle a few horny girls?” she laughed. Maybe he can just run away from them she laughed while

punching him on the shoulder. “Very funny” he groaned. “Hope you don’t get too jealous when I start

getting all the attention.”

“OK you two; Enough! Finish up your supper and off to bed, tomorrow is a big day.” Nancy demanded.

That night as Luca lay down to sleep, he stared out at the night sky and the thought of the beautiful

white wolf consumed him and he fell into dreamland where his dreams were only of her.

Luca didn’t quite understand what the rush was about getting a mate. He knew that it would take some

time before that actually happened. He knew of some werewolves and Lycans who went through their All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

whole lives without finding their mates and lived normal lives like humans did. That deep connection

that he’d heard so much about had not been experienced by them. If he didn’t find a mate it wouldn’t be

so bad. He had she wolves bending over backwards for him. All the young and available she wolves of

his pack were at his feet. All he had to do was ask and they would present themselves to him. It did

help that he was going to be the next Alpha when his father stepped down and that he was filthy rich.

Everyone wanted to be his mate, but a mate was something else. It was not like simply feeling

attracted to someone and wanting to be with them it was so much more than that. It was a gift or curse

bestowed onto werewolves by the goddess herself. Finding one’s mate is the most important

milestones in a wolf’s life.

One wolf found his mate by looking into her eyes; Another was found after they bumped into each other

accidentally. Some go through their whole lives not finding their mates as one’s mate is not always

found within one’s pack. That is one of the reasons that his father started the annual mixer with the

nearby packs. A week-long activity where the full moon pack hosts young men and women who

become of age within that year.

The mixer has proved to be a great help and several of the pack members had found mates in this way

however it is more difficult for those whose mates belong to other species like humans or witches or

fairies, vampires or sworn enemies.

The chances of him finding a mate this year was highly unlikely and he chose not to worry himself too

much about that even though he had promised his dad he would choose a mate at the end of the

school year. He had enough girls to keep him distracted and satisfied. It was a bit more difficult as he

was a Lycan and so much stronger than a typical ware wolf making it difficult to have intercourse with

humans. It was dangerous as he could seriously hurt them. It would be a task.
