Alpha Niall And His Lost Mate

"You’re to  be a good girl now Zoey. And please come and visit sometime"

I nodded frantically as I hugged my sister for the millionth time. She has been taking my departure the hardest, and I knew this would've happened. She's been quite edgy for the past three days after Niall suggested taking me back to his pack with him.

They already knew this, but I guess the confirmation was too much for her. And I understand.

It was hard for me to part from them too. They have been my family all my life, and now I'm going to a strange land with new people. It was tearing me apart that I would be six hours away from them.

I also felt bad that I was the only female in the house that hadn't shed a tear since. My heart ached greatly and I wanted to cry, but I was never the emotional type.

My heart had a contradicting war going on. No way was I gonna stay away from my mate, but I also didn't want to leave my home.

"We can visit sometime," Naill had said once, and I knew he was right. But since I was six years old this was where I had been.

I've never slept anywhere else apart from Emerald Pack in England. But it's just how things have to be.

"I love you Vic." I mumbled. "Thank you for everything"

"I love you too baby sister. Call me as soon as you're there" She told me before placing a kiss on my cheek.

I then met eyes with Luka and for the first time ever, they looked sad. I stood awkwardly, not knowing if I should hug him or do our normal fist bump thing, but I was shocked when he pulled me into a hug.

I could feel all the love radiating from him as he held me, and I knew I couldn't have been any more blessed to have them.

Luka had always looked out for me and my mom, and I knew it wasn't just because we were his wife's family. He did it because he genuinely cared for us. And the same can be said about everyone else in the house. They loved me.

And I will forever love them too.

I was never good at goodbyes. But then again, who is? Saying bye to these ten people, including Emily, was really hard. But I did it.

With one last look and wave, Niall and I exited the house and headed to his car. I let out a breath, as I constantly reminded myself that they were just a call away, and I can visit anytime I wanted. This is my home after all.

His cousin, Valero, had to leave the day after my birthday since he had a pack to run. Niall on the other hand, didn't want to leave without me. So he gave me as much time I needed to pack and say goodbye.

It only took me three days, though some might say that was a short span of time to do everything. But I was a simple person.

Our relationship has been steady. We were just getting to know each other, nothing more. It surprised me how he hasn't attempted or brought up the topic of marking yet.

I guess he's a slow and steady kind of wolf. Weird for an Alpha, but understandable.

"You alright?" Niall asked after placing my bags in the back and joining me in his car.

"Yea. I'll just miss them you know?"

"I get it, but don't worry. We can always come back when you get home sick" He offered soothingly.

He placed a reassuring hand on my knee as he drove out of the driveway. I dared not to look back, because the tears might not have flowed then, but it might flow now.

"What's your pack like?" I asked in an attempt to get my mind off the distance that was being put between me and the people I love. I trusted Niall, but I had no idea about what his pack was like.
