When I turned 16, the age when girls were supposedly meant to find their mates, all I thought about was him. The one that was made for me and only me. The one who would make me feel loved, since I wasn't getting any of that from my pack. The one who would treat me right and love me for who I am.
.
I even had out an image in my head for the first time I would meet him. I would run up to him and tackle him unto the ground. He would wrap his hands securely around my waist and hold me tight. His scent would overpower me. I would look into his eyes and see them filled with lust, love and want. He would slowly move in, closer and closer until I could practically taste his breath. His eyes would travel to my lips and then back to my eyes.
He would finally come closer until there was no more space left between us. He would place a kiss on the side of my lips. Teasing me until I couldn't take it anymore. I would be the one to close the distance.
The kiss would be passionate. Slow and passionate. Like you see in those movies. We would stay there for some time. Just staring at each other.
.
But here I was. Glued to my spot. I couldn't move. I couldn't breath. I just stood there.
The man that was standing in front of me was impossibly beautiful. From the top of his head to the soles of his feet looked like they had been sculpted by god himself. From his beautifully tanned skin that seemed to sparkle in the light of the day to his tousled dark brown hair. His eyes a deep brown colour were fixated on mine. He was dresses in a black v neck and a pair of sweatpants. Even in such clothing, he was gorgeous.
.
You could see the defined lines of his muscles that were hidden under his shirt. His sweatpants hung loosely on his hips revealing a pair of what I assumed was very expensive underwear. I wonder what was under those boxers....... No Ara, stop thinking those nasty perverted stuff.
I just couldn't help it. He was my mate.
My mate.
I never thought I would ever be able to say those words.
I was brought out of my thoughts by a cough. I also noticed that the Bete had let go of my hand and was now standing at the door.
.
" Thank you Ian. You may leave now" Alpha Caden said.
I couldn't help but shiver at the sound of his voice. It was low and husky and it seemed to turn me on.
The Bete whose name I assumed was Ian quietly left the room. Not before making eye contact with me, sending daggers in my directions.
What was his deal....
.
I turned towards my mate and just stared at him. He stared at me for sometime before he looked down to his feet in deep concentration.
Almost immediately, all the bad things that could happen came rushing into my mind.
What if he doesn't like me? What if he thinks I'm ugly? I'm not exactly looking my best right now.
Then the worst thought came to my mind. What if he rejects me?
I wouldn't be suprised. I'm just a plain old she wolf. I'm nothing special. He's probably just thinking of a way to reject me without being harsh.
.
I didn't know I was crying until I tasted the salty taste in my mouth. His head immediately sprung up and looked at me. His eyes filled with concern.
.
" Why are you crying" he said with pain covering his face until he quickly masked it.
" You don't want me. Do you?" I questioned.
After those words left my mouth, he took a step closer. Hesitantly, like he was afraid I would run away. I didn't. He took another step. Then another and another until he was standing right in front of me. He lifted his hand and cupped my cheek. The sparks instantly flew. It made me weak in my knees and it made butterflies erupt in my stomach.
.
" Why would you say that?" He questioned. He actually looked angry. " I would never leave you. You are my mate and even though I don't know the first thing about you, I can already tell that I love you and I will love you until the time of my death. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you......" He stopped at the end. Not knowing my name.
I couldn't help but laugh at the situation. He was just confessing his love for me and he doesn't know my name.
As I laugh, the laugh that left his mouth didn't go unnoticed by me. At least he found the situation as funny as I did.
.
" Ara. My name is Ara" I answered him.
" Well Ara. You are my mate and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you"
As those words left his lips, I couldn't help but smile. He was my mate. And he's not going to reject me. If my parents were here, they would be so happy for me.
.
I didn't even know how close we were until I felt his breath on my face. I couldn't help but blush at the closeness.
He leaned in until his lips were just inches away from mine. Just like my imagination, I leaned in and closed the space between us.
.
I smiled into the kiss.
This was not exactly like my imagination, but I wouldn't have like to meet him any other way.
*******
Thanks for having patience with me.
I would also love to hear your feedback and see if you like it.
Let us just take some time to absorb the gorgeousness of Francisco Lachowski. He plays Alpha Caden ;-)
I also know the first couple of chapter are incredibly short and probably took you guys 2 minutes to read, but if I find out you guys like this book, I'll continue to make then like 10x longer
Thanks again
