John

I woke up early , repeatedly knocking on the door of my room. I hopped out of my bed; I didn't sleep all night. I came back home so late.

 I was so intoxicated— Oh, I was so drunk that I could barely move on my own feet. I've been drinking all night with my friends; I've been suffering from an intense headache because of alcohol and hammering my head like drums. I was struggling to reach the door and barely standing on my own two feet.

Yes sure, what a bad boy like me should do in his life? Nothing else. I was not that smart ass wolf. So I kept myself for girls and sex and hanging out with my badass friends.

At least I was having fun, not like the rest of my family.

 They work and earn more money and power for enlarging our pack.

 'But to be honest, I was not a one-night stand wolf who the fuck around and kicked their backs later going to another girl.'

I was more a human being than a wolf who stays and keeps himself for the love of his life.

Yes, I have not met my mate yet, but I was hoping to find her soon, especially since I turned 19.

 I was not kind of a virgin, but sort of— I was not in love, but I was sure I would find her soon.

Okay, let's skip hope now because someone coughed and barged into my room.

I was shocked when I opened the door to see my father, "Father? What?" I tried to straighten my back to the checkerboard of the bed, but It was hard, and my back was painful, killing me from last night.

I couldn't remember what had happened exactly.

Did I sleep with any? Or I fought with anyone?! Or did I stumble to the floor on my back?! Seriously, that pain was killing me.

My father frowned and stepped further with a displeased face," Why? What? Yours stinks! Are you drunk?"My father leaned his nose to sniff my mouth; he furrowed his eyebrows at me.

 I leaned back from him, rolling my eyes and Clearing my throat "F_father, It's just."I stammered. I couldn't say anything. I was busted in the sin. Okay, he was an alcoholic and Alpha, and he could smell me from ten meters or maybe more.

 I blamed myself silently and stared away from my father's gaze that definitely could burn me like a Satan in hell with no mercy.

'That was too harsh. He was not that cruel Alpha. But he was eventually not kind. At least he was more tender than my elder brother.' I choked with my lump at my father's question.

"Don't say anything! Just answer me! Are you drunk?"My father groaned.

I sighed and nodded, embarrassed"Okay, I guess so," he rubbed his chin frowning.

Could anyone in this family help me?

I stumbled back while crawling away from my father, trying to get out of the bed. He won't kick my ass, though. But he might do more.

He could send me to another pack or another college, for example, because he threatened me before and warned me that if I broke his rules, he would send me away from my friends.

 And I can't live without them. They were technically the only good thing In my life. Because of that house I didn't have any.

"Okay, then done, you are not a pup anymore, you are a freshman at your college and 19 years old, you have to take some responsibilities over your shoulder. You need a Luna, so that's it," My father narrowed his eyebrows, walking away to the window of my room, and he opened the curtains all of a sudden, making the sun strike my eyes.

'Luna?! What the hell he just said?! Seriously— I think. I have got a problem in my ears or some wax or something. He would never say that for sure. Or maybe I was still in the bed and dreaming.' I mumbled in my mind when I decided to pinch my lap to figure out whether I was sleeping or awake because that conversation shouldn't be real.

I screamed shocked when I figured out that I was not asleep and yes, my father was in front of me, giving me an assuring nod that made my heart skip some beats.

 "What? Father! I didn't get any of what you just said!"I huffed, covering my eyes from the light of the sun.

"My words— Were so clear! Are you deaf or dumb?! You are getting mated soon from Tamara."My father said firmly, explaining to me while turning his body. I shook my head and stared back with a confused look.

'He gotta be kidding me for sure. This can't be happening— Is this first April fool for fuck's sake?!' I hated those kinds of jokes, and I was not in a good mood as well as her foolishness.

I gasped."Who is Tamara?! I didn't sleep with any girl called Tamara. I know that I was drunk, but I didn't make any she-wolf pregnant!"I dropped my jaw, rubbing my forehead, trying to remember.

"What are you talking about? Tamara is the daughter of Alpha. Clark."My father raised an eyebrow.

"What? Your partner?! I didn't meet her before."I mumbled.

 Now, admittedly, he was not messing up with me. And I wondered if that kind of him is punishing me for being lazy and coming up late every night drunk.

"So what? Even so! You are getting mated to her after one week, once you and she come back from the vacation. Both of you have just one week to spend it together alone to know each other well. And after returning, we will prepare for the wedding. Is that clear? Because I have no more time. My schedule is filled with meetings and our pack issues." My father explained to me boldly with a cold tone.

He had always been busy with work. Yes, I knew and how about me? And we have billions for God's sakes, but they want more and more.

By them, I mean my brother Next-in line Alpha Xander, who was the monster in the body shape of a wolf-human being.

Xander was worse than my father, and he loved money more than himself. I wondered why my father didn't ask Xander to get mated to Tamara? Yeah, sure he was afraid of ruining this business partnership. Xander was not the kind of person that anyone could mess with.

"Okay, I'm not a toy or a pup! I disagree."I frowned, shaking my head in disbelief.

That was my life, and I was not going to let anyone destroy it, even that one was my father.

"Who are you to agree or disagree?! If you refused then, I would have to kick you out of the pack and cut off all your credit cards and leave you homeless in the streets!"My father shrieked with a stern tone.

I rolled my eyes— 'Okay. I think. I should calm down until the storm passes.' I whispered, in my mind, was holding some air between my lungs.

I should think of a plan to get out of that trap.
