My Pack Rank System & A New Pack

The loud rap on your door pulls you from sleep. Groggy, you swing the door open, only to be met by the wide, startled eyes of your sister's best friend, Allie. She stares, blushing, at your bare chest.
"Allie. What is it?" you ask, stifling a yawn.
"Uh.. Heath.. hi! I was sent to get you. An emergency meeting," she stammers, finally looking up. An emergency meeting? Your mind immediately goes to pack security, but the slight tremor in her voice suggests something else.
You sigh, nodding. "Okay, I'll be right there."
You close the door, the weight of your future Alpha responsibilities settling onto your shoulders. Another meeting, another delay in finding her. The search for your mate feels endless, a constant ache that needs fulfilling before you can fully embrace your destiny.
