Chapter 1

It was 2 pm in Los Angeles and the sun was shining brightly all over the city.

At one of the best coffee shops in Los Angeles, there was a group of friends who came out to enjoy the beautiful view and taste of the coffee found at that coffee shop.

Meet Patricia, a 19th-year-old young lady with black fat eyes, brown curly hair, and with an average height of 6.3. And the owner of Patricia's fashion house.

Sonia is a 19th-year-old young lady with blue eyes like that of the ocean flow, black straight hair, and with an average height of 6.6. Owner of Cakes and Pastries by Sonia

And the last friend Camile, just like her name, is a very pretty lady with unique eye color and she is the youngest and the richest among the friends. She will be turning 18th soon, with Green eyes like that of the tropical rainforest, and with an average height of 6.5. And who will soon be working in her family company.

The most common thing about these three friends is that they both have good body shape which every guy goes gaga over just to have a long of it and lucky enough they are not in the entertainment industry because if they were in the entertainment industry they would have made other actresses feel uncomfortable with their body shape.

Camile next week, you will be turning 18th and a few days later there will be a party for us to find our mates. You know I am so happy about this year's mating party because I have a fate that I will find my mate this year Sonia said.

I will be praying for you to be successful in finding your mate this year sweetheart and he should be as lovely and caring as my mate Collins. Patricia said. Patricia, Camile, and Sonia have been childhood friends even though they are not of the same age, Patricia and Sonia both turned 18th last year and during the mating party, Patricia was successful in finding her mate while Sonia wasn't successful.

Girls, there was this handsome guy I met on my way out of the supermarket last week and truth be told that guy is smoothly handsome, and from the look of things he is wealthy too. Do you girls know that ever since I met that guy last week I have been having dreams about him being on my bed and that is making me pray for the gods to give him to me as my mate, so my dream will come true in the end. Camille said.

You and you're naughty though! Patricia said.

What can I do? If I can't do it in real life at least let me do it in my dreams. Camile said

Don't worry, there are just a few more days left and you will find your mate and naughty dreams of yours will come to the best. Patrica add

I pray my mate should be the same guy I met at the shop and truth be told if indeed my mate turns out to be him I will be very happy and I won't let him live no matter the reason. Because he will be mine alone and I won't share him with anyone.

You are already planning about not sharing him. What if he turns out not to be your mate?

That is why I said, I wish he will be my mate.

I am 19th already and if I don't find any mate this year then I will need to wait again for the next mating party according to my parents if I turn 20 without a mate I will end up single because no one will accept me again. If I were you Camile I would be very happy if I found my mate. No matter if he is the guy I met in the supermarket or not. Unlike me who could not find her mate at her 18th mating party.

Sonia said trying to change the topic because she knows if she doesn't change the topic Camile won't let it go.

You worry too much Sonia, I have told you to believe in yourself because I know this mating ball this time around is for you. Do you remember this song they taught us in school it goes like this;

"Many are called but few are chosen"

Yes, I do.

Then just have it in mind that you are among the few ladies who will be blessed with a mate this mating ball.

I hope and pray for that to be true and I can't wait for that day to come fast. Thank you girls so much I don't know what I would have done without you girls. Sonia said

You would have been in the desert. Camile jokes

You know there is no need for you to thank us because there is no THANK YOU in FRIENDSHIP. Patricia said

My mom and dad are planning to organize a party and according to them, I might be able to find my mate on that day itself so there will be no need for me to attend the mating party.

Wow, that is a great move and I must say your parents are very smart. Sonia said

So are we invited? Patricia asked

Of course, you both are invited and you both know you are always invited even without an invitation card.

Alright, girl, and don't worry we are going to rock and make sure the party goes smoothly we will also be praying for your parents' wish for you to find a mate to come to pass and one more thing don't forget to introduce him to us when you finally find him.

Thanks, girls.

No troubles. What are friends for?

It seems like we will need to sign a contract on the fact that if anyone among us says Thank you again the person must buy us something. What do you girls think? Patricia asked

I think that is a good idea but not now let's just say we are going to give a warning duration and if after that there is another thank you then we go for the agreement. Camile said

And I support Camille's idea with my full chest.

Okay, then and our duration will be after 5 times the mistake.

Good decision.

Patricia, how is the business going so far?

The business is going perfectly okay and yes before I forget please I need a storekeeper who can take care of my shop when I am not around because my mate just asked me to join him at his office.

Wow, it seems like Collins does not want you to be out of his side even for a moment. Sonia said

No, it is not like he wants us to grow our business together so our future children won't suffer in the future just like he did.

That is a good idea but I must say you are one lucky girl Patricia and I wish and hope you both stay together forever. Sonia said

Amen ooh and you know what that has been my prayer for a long time and now that you mention it I know it will come to pass.

Camile and I will help you find the storekeeper. Sonia said

As for me, my parents said I will work at our family Company after my birthday party and even if I find my mate I will still be working there.

That's good news Camile but don't you think you should start up something for yourself? Sonia asked

Well, I would have loved to but my parents told me not to start any business and rather work in the family business.

You are indeed lucky Camile as for me I need to take care of my family since my stepdad doesn't do anything to assist the family, and I am happy my baking business is doing perfectly well this time. Since I keep getting orders for Cakes and other pastries like meat pies. And the income is what I use to take care of my family.

You don't need to worry yourself because that business of yours is going to be a big shot soon. Patricia said

Thank God you brought up the topic of your business. I almost forgot the main reason why I asked us to come to this coffee shop.

Since it is my birthday, my mommy asks me to choose anyone who I want to bake me a birthday Cake and I told her about you and she asked to see you tomorrow so we can discuss the design of the cake and the amount of money to be paid for it.

Wow! That's good news, I promise to be at your place tomorrow morning with my cake design so you can choose from there.

Alright. We will be waiting for you.

Outside a large company which is popularly known as Oman Company was a luxurious vehicle which was owned by the CEO of Oman group of company a young man of about 23 years who was known as the G.O.A.T of the company. He is a handsome young man with gray eyes, black hair, and an average height of 6.8. Being a young guy he is already the owner of a large Company. Apart from being the owner of a big company, there is no other information about him such as his family, and marital status and that keeps many people and media platforms wondering who he is and which clan he is from. And it makes many ladies in Los Angeles go crazy over him but his cool and unfriendly appearance keeps them away from him.

His bodyguard stepped out of the car and opened the door for him to step out of the car. After he step out, he walked to the entrance of the company and the security guard helped him open the company door he walk inside the company and that alone brought a lot of eyes on him both from the female employees and the male employees but he didn't care as he continues walking to his private elevator and it was open he walks inside and pressed the third floor.

Getting to his office he was greeted by his secretary and he told her to call Michael to his office and he walked inside his office.

The moment he steps inside his office the secretary makes a call to Michael telling him his presence is needed at the boss's office.

The moment the call came to an end, Michael stopped everything he was doing and rushed to his boss's office.

How did the meeting with the foreign investors go? Michael asked the moment he step inside his boss's office

If not that you are my best friend I would have fired you at this moment. Haven't I been telling you to always knock on my office door and until you come in before you come in rather than just coming inside my office without knocking?

Sorry dude! I forgot. So tell me, how did the meeting go?

We got the contract.

I know we got the contract because no one doesn't want to work with the Oman company. And before I forget your Mom called me yesterday and today too. Michael said

And what did she say?

She and your siblings miss you so much and she would love it if you can visit them. Michael said

When she calls next time, just tell her I am busy at the moment and I will get back to her later.

Dude, why don't you try speaking to your mother or your siblings? It's been years and they all love and miss you.

It seems like you are tired of working in this Company you know I always have to fire letters with me anytime so I can just give you yours right now.

There is no need for that. I was just trying to help. And if you sack me right now my dad will just kill me by telling me I am a very foolish Beta for you and might send my younger brother.

Michael has been friends with his boss ever since they were children and unlike his friend, he found his mate when he turned 20 and he marked and slept with his mate when he was 21 years old and he had to live with his mate and follow his friend since he was also his Beta at their pack and he needs to keep his Alpha protected.

I just feel sorry for the girl that will be his mate because he has a heart of steel. How are we going to know the girl when he never attends the mating party? Michael said to himself and just nodded his head in pity for his friend.

Apart from that, any other news or information?

Yes, in about 3 weeks they will be organizing another mating party and this time around all the Alphas are invited because there will be a meeting concerning their various packs. Michael said

Why did they put the meeting on the same day as the mating party and the same venue too?

For that, I don't know, I even asked my dad but he didn't say anything and just said it was agreed by all the other Alphas for the meeting to be held at that venue and on the same date. Michael answered

Is that all?

I just received an email before you called me from A.J Wine Company inviting you to their daughter's 18th birthday party which is in 2 weeks.

Any more information?

No, that's all for now.

We will attend the birthday party because that will be a great opportunity for me to discuss with Mr. AJ my investment in his Wine Business.

Don't tell me you want to venture into wine companies too. Michael asked

Of course that will be more money inside my bank account.

You and money. "One of you will die, live ei friend". Michael said and nodded his head.

You can now go back to your work and should in case of any updates let me know.

Michael got up from his seat and walked to the door and he was about to open the door when he was stopped by his friend.

And before I forget I want to make you know when it comes to me and Money na money go die live me.

After hearing what his friend just told him he just nodded his head and walked out of his office.
