Savage Hunt

Chapter Thirty His Mate  

Jason 

“I’ll see you in a minute.” I said, ending my phone call with my beta as I pulled into the parking lot of Savage. I found a parking spot and pulled my SUV in, letting out a long breath. I wasn’t ready for the conversation that I knew I was going to have with my beta, but I knew that I needed to warn him. 

This afternoon I had almost hurt someone. I was too close to the edge, that dark place where I could hurt someone. That was the last thing that I wanted. I couldn’t risk hurting my pack and if it came down to it. I knew Travis would do what needed to be done. 

I wished that I was stronger. I didn’t want to put this on him. But I knew that I couldn’t ask Ryan to do it. It would have to be my beta. 

Running my fingers through my hair, I let out another long sigh. I knew what I needed to do, what I needed Travis to do when the time came. I just didn’t want to. He would take over for me and I knew that he could handle it. 

Leaning over, I looked up at the moon. Swallowing hard as my throat tightened, Fuck, I wasn’t the praying type but this seemed like as good a time as any to do just that. 

“If she’s out there, please let me find her soon.” I prayed to the moon goddess. I was desperate and willing to do just about anything at this point. Once a shifter went feral, there was no turning back and today had shown me how close I was to it. I had spent the afternoon with Kelly, hoping that good sex would ease the irritation I had been feeling. The sex had been great, but if anything, it had made my wolf push closer to the edge. 

It wasn’t her and logically, I knew that but I had felt the need to hurt her afterwards. To punish her for not being my mate. I knew it had hurt her feelings when I had stormed out of her apartment, but she wouldn’t understand how | was feeling. Her beast was weaker than mine so she had plenty of time to find a mate. 

I didn’t want her to be the first in the pack to know what was happening. She wouldn’t 

have been able to put me down if it happened with her. She wouldn’t have been able to stop me. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Sitting up, I tucked my phone into my jacket pocket. I pulled the keys from the ignition and opened the door, stepping out into the chilly night air. It felt like the weather was reflecting my mood. Closing the door, I pressed the button on my key fob before tucking my keys away. 

It was best to stop trying to put this off. I looked up at the moon one last time, willing her to be near. I could take anything as long as I knew that I was close to finding my mate. 

Tucking my hands into my pockets, I moved out of the parking lot. I could feel the vibrations of the music and given the number of cars in the parking lot, I was willing to bet that Travis would be thrilled with tonight’s business. I hoped that I hadn’t missed Ryan, Aaron, and Drew playing. If I had, I knew that they would understand but it was always good to show pack members my support in their interests. It helped that I enjoyed the music that they made. 

They were no Cannibal Moon, but they were still really good, 

I stopped at the heavy steel doors of the club. It felt like the walk to the entrance was too quick, but I knew that it was my nerves. I hadn’t been this on edge in forever, but I was going to talk to Travis and let him know what was up. Towed him that much with what I was going to ask him to do. 

Pushing the door open, I stepped inside and a sweet, candy like scent hit my senses and I felt my wolf perk up in excitement. It reminded me of the cherry candies that my father used to keep in his office to sneak to me and my friends when I was a child. I could almost taste that sweetness in the back of my throat, feel it on my tongue. 

My teeth lengthened to sharp points and I closed my eyes, breathing in that scent. It was faint, but still clinging to the air and coming closer. 

Excitement pulsed through me and I knew it was coming from my wolf. He wanted to go out there to find out who the scent was coming from. It grew stronger and I let my mouth fall open. . His Mate 

“Hey, Alpha.” Travis said, pulling me out of my thoughts. “I’ve got some big news.’ 

I opened my eyes, looking at my friend. His normally neatly combed dark hair was a ragged mess. There was a gleam in his eyes and I could tell that he had been fucking and it had to have been good. I didn’t want to think about the way he smelled and who he could have been with. 

“Oh yeah?” I said, my hands clenching up into fists by my sides as I prayed that he wasn’t about to tell me he had fucked the one who smelled like heaven and all the good things that I associated with my childhood. 

‘I’ve met my mate.” He said and it felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. 

His mate… He smelled like his mate.
