After being trapped for about a half hour the ice melted as much as I could finally break it. It was so cold... But not as cold as the rejection of my mate...

I walked back to the packs house and grabbed fresh clothes. Just a white shirt, a blue slipover and a dark chino trousers.

Now I'm sitting in my Alpha's office and can not concentrate on a thing he is saying...

?Will, do you even listen?! You seem really distracted today. Did something happen? Another pregnant wolf??, he tries to get me a smile, but I wasn't in the mood for that.

?Worse... my... my mate...?, I try to explain him, but I couldn't... it was too painful to talk about it.

?Oh, that again... Well... I feel sorry for you... I know it is hard without a mate, but you can build a family even without her...?, he tries to encourage me. ?Him...?, is the only thing I could whisper at that moment.

?Yeah, I know them... I mean... Wait... What...?! HIM?! What do you mean with that?!?, he seems to be a bit confused.

?My Mate is a boy...?, I finally let the cat out of the bag. ?I've met him a few hours ago...?, I explain him further.

?You... You did what?! Why you didn't tell me. Is it that upsetting you. Sitting here instead at your mates? GO! Go to him! By the moongoddes. You finally met your mate. I'm so happy for you!?, he rushes down his monologue.

?He doesn't want me... I think...?, I let out a sigh. It's hurting so much...

?He rejected you??, Jake asks me. ?Em... not directly... but he attacked me... I think...?, I try to explain this weird situation in the woods.

?Not directly? YOU THINK??, my best friend is shouting. ?Speak up, what happened.?

So I sigh, but start to explain to him everything.

How I met him, but don't know who he exactly is, how he fled from me, and what happened at the clearing in the forest. As I started to mention the strange situation on the clearing, he suddenly listens up.

?Wait, wait, wait... Did you just say...

he had somehow frozen you to a tree??, his eyes are widening up, and he is staring at me.

?I have no other explanation for that what happened there... I think he got some... I don't know... Magical powers or something like that.?, I stumble around this topic, 'cause I really don't have a clue what exactly happened.

?William... I think I know who your mate is...?, Jake says slowly. My heart skips a beat, and I'm looking sternly at him.

?Three weeks ago an omega, named Yuki moved here.

..?, he starts to explain to me. ?Yeah, you mentioned him.

.. but are you sure it could be him??, I ask him, 'cause the boy could be anybody else too.

?I'm quite certain, 'cause he is the only wolfshifter I know, who have powers like that.

Sorry I never mentioned that, but I had to promise it to him.

He said he had to flee from people who wanted to use his powers, so he didn't want anybody to know. ?, he states clearly.

With that information, I jump up and want to leave.

?Wait, where you are going??, Jake's asking.

?Where could I want to go, huh? To him, of course!

You said the newbie moved to the building near the forest, correct.

Berrington Street, right??, I want to make sure.

My Alpha nods, and I leave the office immediately.
