Primo
His father was starting to get annoyed with him. He was into his twenties and he still had not chosen a mate for himself.
Leonardo had been looking for a mate but none had piqued his interest enough to want to fight for them, he wasn't even sure if he was looking for a male mate or a female mate.
His younger brother was also above the age for selecting a mate yet their father didn't bug him about it. His brother's only opinion on the matter was that he thought he was hanging around the wrong places to look for a Beta.
Leo's favourite places to go were the library, the lakes and the forests, which were also the places he looked for a mate, he wanted someone that he had a lot in common with, he didn't want a mate that the only thing that attracted them to each other was looks and sex.
Then, one day when he was at the library, looking for a new book to read, his eye caught someone, a male Beta, dressed in purple clothes, a sash across his chest and covering his crotch were two pieces of purple fabric hanging down from his hips, sat at a table looking through several books at once.
That turtle being the only one at that table, Leo took a seat opposite him and the other froze. He could sense that Leo was an Alpha and that made Leo laugh inwardly, but he wasn't confident enough to make a move or even speak to the turtle and it wasn't long before the turtle left, taking the books with him.
Leo decided that he would come back here tomorrow and actually speak to the turtle.
