I heard the alarm clock blaring as I rolled over and slapped it off. Before opening my eyes, I took a deep breath and realized someone was with me in bed. I threw off my covers and sat up, rubbing my face. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw a lump in the covers that was last night's conquest. As I remembered the evening's activities, a small smile crossed my lips. I nodded to myself, proud of the she-wolf. I was finally able to get into my bed. Too bad for her, it ends here. Game over. Onto the next conquest.

After I got ready, I told her coldly that it was over and that she needed to move on. She gave me an angry growl as she dressed and left the room, slamming the door.

'Stop it! My wolf ordered.

'What?' I asked Thorn, my wolf.

'You should be waiting for our mate!' He spat through the link.

'Yeah, but we're done with her.'

'You are disgusting! Using them like that! We should be looking for our mate. We are meant for only one, and you are ruining it!'

'Shut up, you stupid wolf,' Thorn grumbled, shutting the link. I smirked and left my room.

I walked down the long hallway and the four flights of stairs to the kitchen. Clara flips around the stove, cooking eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage, and homemade grits. She's been taking care of me since I was in diapers. I loved this woman as if she were my mother.

"I am quite well today. You?" I reached around her, stole a sausage link, and plopped it in my mouth.

"Hey man, where have you been?" I grunted without looking at my beta, Jax, and continued eating. "Thought you were coming to training this morning?" He sat beside me as Clara slid a plate towards him. He nodded in thanks and began eating.

"Busy," I answered, swallowing some pancakes and drinking juice.

"Yeah, I bet. Blonde, brunette, or redhead?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

I shook my head and took another bite of my eggs as Clara smirked and side-glanced at me.

"No way, you got the redhead!?!" he asked, turning to me. I shoved him away and finished my plate.

"Mind your own business," I answered, getting up and putting the plate in the sink.

"Lucky, but I wouldn't want to be your mate. Hell is coming for you!" I furrowed my brow and stared at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"What happens when you meet your mate, and
