Greenwood pack

Astrid's pov

" Prince, your father wants to see you in his chamber",a maid said with a bow.

"Tell him I will see him later",I ordered. "No, he wants to see you now",the maid protested and I groaned. My dad is fond of using his powers in a manner that annoys me. My name is Astrid greenwood, I am the future Alpha of greenwood pack. I'm twenty years old, my mate died when she was ten years in a car accident. I got to know she was my mate from the findings the healer of our pack made.

I don't know what to do and I don't think there is hope for me. My chance of being the future Alpha of this pack is twenty percent. "Good morning , Dad", I said with a bow. " Morning Astrid. Did you sleep well?" he asked. " Yes, I did",I replied. "Good morning mom",I said to my mom." Good morning love. How are you?" My mom greeted me with a warm smile." I'm fine mom",I smiled back and waited impatiently for what my dad has to say. "You will be going on a journey to the city",he started. "But dad? Why?",I queried. " I remain Alpha Jax to you when I give you orders, Astrid",my dad said in a Stern voice and I bowed slightly.

"I'm sorry, Alpha",I apologised. "Good. You will be going to the city to find a mate", he continued. " A mate? My mate died years ago, where am I supposed to find a new one?"I asked. " Don't question me!!! Just listen to me", my dad said angrily. I bowed my head in nervousness. "Jax please calm down",my mom, Luna Vera touched my dad's arm and his eyes softened. "You will go to the city to find a mate like I said earlier. Not just an ordinary mate, you will find Lucas's mate", he explained. " Lucas's mate? Who is Lucas and how are we related?" I raised a curious brow. "Lucas is Alpha Jasper's son. Alpha Jasper the alpha of blackwood pack",he continued.

" Blackwood pack? they are our nemesis. Why do you want me to go after Lucas's mate?" I asked. " Because of the prophecy given to me. Lucas is this close to marking his mate and that is dangerous for us and our pack at large. With his mate, he will be stronger and bigger", dad said with a frown on his face. " Okay, so what is the plan?" I asked curiously. "According to what I heard Alpha Jasper told everyone that his son is in coma but that's not the case. Lucas is in the city searching for his mate so that he will return to the pack with her. I want you to also go to the city and find his mate. When you find her, you will bring her here and mark her as yours. The girl is a powerful being, anyone who mates with her will become stronger and untouchable", my dad explained. " That is nice. I promise to make you proud father",I said in determination.

" I expect you to make me proud, son. I didn't raise a loser. If you don't find that girl and bring her here within two months. I will have your head", he threatened. " Jax?! How can you say such thing?" Mom yelled. " I will say what I please, Vera. The future of our pack is in his hands and if he fails to perform the only task I give him. I will kill him with my bare hands. Do you understand?",he asked me, my body shook in fear. " Calm down, you are scaring him", mom frowned. " I need to scare him. He should be afraid because the future of greenwood pack lies in his hands",dad countered.

" I promise to bring her to you father but how will I know her when I see her",I questioned. " Spy on Lucas and try to be friends with every female you see him with. With your sense and sight, you should be able to know who his mate is",dad advised. " Okay, I will", I said. " Good, I wish you all the best. The head guard will be with you throughout your stay in the city and you have learnt how to control you wolf so maintain it",he warned.

" Thank you Dad",I smiled. " Stay safe, Astrid. Be a good boy",mom said as she gave me a hug. I hugged her back and went to my room. I packed my bags and prepared to leave the place I call home to a foreign land I don't know. "I don't like what we are doing",my wolf, Lin whispered in my head. " I don't like it either but nobody disobeys Alpha Jax. I don't want to get killed",I replied back and it sighed. My dad is a bully, this mission is dangerous I know but the future of this pack depends on my actions.

"Prince, we have to go before we miss our flight",The head guard, Kelly said with a bow. We left the pack to the airport in a car. How do I even know this mysterious girl my father was talking about? Is she a wolf? Human or an angel? "We will do this together, Prince. You don't have to worry",Kelly assured me and I gave him a tight lipped smile. We boarded a plane and landed in the city. It is my first time here and I was marvelled at the beauty of this place.

"Alpha bought a house here for house already but we will be heading to the school first",Kelly said and I nodded. " Wow, this place is huge",I was in awe when we arrived at the school. It was unlike the school in the pack which was small and everyone knows everyone."Are you Astrid and Kelly greenwood. The twins?" a woman in her late fifties asked us as we wandered lost in the big school. Twins? Kelly and I? Is this a joke or something?

"Yes ma'am, we are your new students. Nice to meet you",Kelly said with a smile and gave her a handshake. " Nice to meet you two. Welcome to our school, follow me",she smiled and walked away. " Are you for real? Twins?"I whispered to Kelly. " Your father decided that",he shrugged and dragged me along with him. On our way, I bumped into a guy and he stared at me with his eyes wide open. "Astrid? What the heck are you doing here?" He half yelled.
