The Alpha's Slave Mate
Chapter 7

Caleb's Point of View

I take my time returning to my clothes. My mind keeps returning to the wolf girl I seen at the river. Iknow every wolf in my pack, including the pups. She did not belong to my pack, and she is not arogue so she must belong to the Silver Moon pack. I am smiling as I shift back into my human formand throw my sweatpants and shoes back on. I can not wait to speak to Theo.

Bounding back up to the second floor of the manor I am glad that me and Theo are roomed rightnext to each other. I do not even knock on his door; I just burst in and replace that he is in theadjoining shower. I am pacing back and forth in his room trying to be patient as he finishes. For amoment I considered mind linking him and telling him to hurry up. Even my wolf is anxious to sharethe encounter with the beautiful wolf girl in the woods.

Finally, I hear the shower turn off.

Theo steps into the room with a towel wrapped around his waist and he stops when he notices I amin his room.

“What's wrong?’ Theo asks me as he immediately takes a defensive stance. I love that my warriorsare ready to battle in an instant, but I can't help but smirk at him.

“I met someone.” I can visibly see him relax at my words, and he slowly smiles.

"Oh yeah, can I assume this someone is a girl?” I can tell that Theo is looking forward to teasing mea little. I feel light, lighter than I have felt in a long time as I shake my head yes at his question."Could this girl possibly be your mate?”

My excitement stalls at his question. Honestly, I do not know if she is my mate or not, she ran awaytoo quickly for me to even have caught her scent. “I don't know Theo; she ran away before I couldscent her.” I recant the story to Theo about my morning run and replaceing the wolf girl.

“I am sure that the woman will be at the ball tonight Caleb. After all this is her pack that is hostingso I assume that every member of the pack will be present. I just do not want you to obsess overthis one woman though Caleb. There will be two other packs in attendance as well, and it isimportant that you meet available women in order to replace your mate. You have been losing yourpatience lately, and no one wants to see you turn feral.” Theo's face is almost solemn as he says this,and I can feel the weight of his words. He is right, and I am thankful that once again my Beta hashelped keep me on track. I need to replace my mate; it is what is best for me and my pack.

Seeing me turn more serious Theo claps me on my back and says that he is sure that I will replace mymate tonight. For my pack, I hope his words are true.
