Can you win his heart before they make him step down as alpha or will he fall?
Draven Blackbark is the strongest alpha out of six packs. He is well known for being cold and highly territorial and protective. He became alpha at 18 and now 26 the council is demanding he takes a mate. Pack law states that an alpha must take a mate to help keep the pack balanced and structured but Draven never took any interest. He's fought the law as long as he can and now he's been thrown into several parties and events in an attempt to help him find a mate. Everytime it's the same girls rush him they dress scandalous and flirt endlessly but they don't interest him because they don't want him they want his title and the power that comes with it. As it nears the last full moon of the year the council has decided he either has a mate or he has to step down as alpha of the Blackbark pack. With the deadline to have a mate approaching he's becoming colder more withdrawn and has started sparring more to take out his frustration.

Intro
it's late but Draven can't sleep that's not new to him. Ever since he received the ultimatum of finding a mate or losing his alpha title he's been restless. So of course every night he sits in his study and does paperwork for his company ordering new stock for their outdoor department for fabrics and materials for their fashion department and finally filing and documenting the latest legal discrepancies
it's been about a month since I received the deadline and I've been through several pack runs and bbqs and dances but Everytime it's the same thing girls being scandalous and flirting and wanting the same thing my title and status
none of them catch my interest and I'm not a tool to rise in the social ladder or the hierarchy chain. So of course I turn them all down and I get sad faces and whines about whether they're pretty enough. I'm getting sick of it.
after yet another one of these events after everyone's home and getting ready for bed of course I'm in the pack gym whaling on a punching bag to burn off frustration when something peaks my interest. There's a cubby upstairs so mother's can use the gym while their pups play or read or watch TV and the light is on. It's never on this late and usually everybody is in bed this late. Of course I'm thinking someone just forgot to turn the light off so I grumble and go to turn the light off myself. Until I hear it the unmistakable sound of a page being turned.
nobody uses the gym this late but me so my brain is going through all the possibilities as go to the stairs and start up them. The most plausible being that a teenager wanted some extra reading time. What I found was the one thing I didn't expect.
