As I put her in my sister's bed I look at her sleeping face. Burning the image of every curve in her face. If I could I would study her for ages, she would be the most beautiful muse. I've just met her but I could never imagine my life without her, I bent down and kissed the top of her head.
As I'm kissing her head I take a deep breath smelling her scent of strawberries and honey. I could sit here for hours just looking at her but I stood up. I have things to do and I need to figure out who she is and what pack she belongs to. Even though she was following our mate's scent there is no reason why she should be left alone with everything going on. Just thinking about it is making me frustrated.
I reluctantly leave the room, I know when she wakes up she's going to be dazed and confused in a new place I don't want to freak her out to much.
I mind link my Beta as I walk to my office ,' I know I'm putting a lot on you right now so break up this work to some other people,I need you to send a couple of people to the surrounding packs to see if they're missing a member of their pack. Then also have someone fetch the pack Dr. Someone needs to check up on her to make sure she's okay.'
......
The rest of the day goes by in a blur, I'm trying to finish as much work as possible so that way when she wakes up I'll be able to spend all of my time with her. It usually takes a while for our body to wake up after our first shift, our body is exhausted so about 8-12 hours after we wake up. It's about 7:30 at night and I haven't left my office since I laid her down in her bed.
I still haven't heard anything from my beta or the rest of the pack about where she is from or even what her name is.
I mind link my beta again, 'Have you heard anything yet? ' 'No alpha, I'm sorry none of them have reported back to me yet over it, but the Dr left a couple of hours ago She said that she's in tip top shape. ' I cut off the mink link and put my elbows on my desk and my head in my hands.
My head feels so heavy for some reason, maybe the exhaustion is finally catching up to me but I know I won't be able to sleep until she wakes up. The logic in that, she's sleeping soundly and yet I won't be able to get a wink.
I lean back into my chair and put my arm over my eyes, I'm getting restless and I want to go on a run but I don't want to leave her, I'm a walking contradiction right now.
BANG!
The door to my office flies open with a mad man standing on the other side as I brace myself staring him down.
Tim Fudging Weaver... I inwardly sigh as I take a breath. I can see how mad he is as the shade of color of his skin is almost purple in rage.
"Good afternoon to you too Tim." I say with an awkward chuckle making sure he understands how rude he just was.
"YOU! There is no way you found your MATE! A Day before you were going to pick my DAUGHTER TO BE THE LUNA! Are you Crazy?!" Tim is pointing his finger at me acting like a mad man.
I just sit in my chair and let him finish, he's panting now in rage. I bet he practiced this speech on his way over here. I glance behind him and I see his daughter, her face is crumpled up in envy and rage.
Ugly. I think to myself.
I can feel my lip quivering trying to not laugh. This is amazing, with this I have enough to dump him from the council in the next meeting.
"Well Tim thank you for the congratulations on finding my mate, the moon goddess works in mysterious ways. Hopefully your daughter gets the mate she deserves." I see his face getting more and more red. I wonder if he has to take blood pressure medicine.
"Also even if I was to take a temporary Luna it would be someone with credibility in the pack. I would have to trust them." I say in disgust.
"URGH!" I hear a foot stomp and she angerly stomps out of the room. The entire time I kept my eyes contact with Tim not really caring either way.
Tim's demeanor softens ,"Alpha I will tell you one thing. You have more enemies than friends, I think it would be best to remember who you should make friends with." All of his spite and hatred for me uzing out of him. He leaves my office quietly probably to go find his daughter before she takes out her anger on a pack member.
'I can't believe the insolence.' My wolf says to me, I startle as he doesn't really talk to me much. ' You're right. I will admit he got to me, he's not an easy opponent.' I need to clear my head, I get up from my desk to go meet her. My wolf gets excited but I'm nervous, she should be up by now. I really hope she doesn't reject us, I still have zero idea about why she ran.
I finally get to her door and freeze.
.
.
My mind is going crazy with thoughts,
.
.
what if she doesn't like me,
.
.
what if she's from a different pack and doesn't want to leave,
.
.
what if she has a boyfriend....
.
.
I'm driving myself mad with all of these intrusive thoughts. I shake my head and validate my resolve.
.
.
I grab the cold door handle with my hands that are a little bit clammy.
.
.
I slowly open the door and freeze in shock.
