We all sat down under the full moon while Dad was still performing some rituals left to perform. Truth be told, I wasn't actually paying attention at all. I kept looking at everyone there. The males dressed particularly well for the occasion and it made me giddy with excitement that one of them could be my potential mate when the moon hits it's peak.
“Zoe concentrate" Phoebe said and pulled me back from my excitement zone. Left with no choice, I closed my eyes able to concentrate on Dad's last words before the moon could finally hit it's peak.
“And lastly, let they be bonded with the right person who will help them grow and feel loved"
“Now go forth and find your other halves. Let the moon goddess guide you to the right person"
That was the last mum said that the moon hit it's peak. Everyone had already started howling which indicated the fact that they have already their own mate.
But shocking, thirty minutes laterI still hadn't found my mate. I was already feeling frustrated and getting tired of waiting. Unconsciously, I had already walked out of the main hall and was about leaving the pack house till I heard a growl in my head.
Shocked... Yes.
Why.... I didn't know.
My wolf had benn inactive for a few months so it was surprising that it growled. I started looking around till I saw him.
Clad in a black attire and a red cloak that matched the color of his eyes that were staring at me as if they were staring into my soul.
My legs took me to himand I stood within an arm length with him.
“Mine" I murmured as I stood in front of him
“Yes, you are mine" he said with his deep voice.
That was enough for me to go weak in my knees.
And I did......
So much so that he had to wrap his arms around my waist for support. That spot were his hands spread electrical tingles throughout my entire body.
“You fit so perfectly in my arms. In my embrace" he said again with his red eyes staring at me.
At this moment, I knew I would fall head over heels for this man.
Xander's POV:
Her looks were nothing to be compared to. She was second to none. Dressed in that silver ball gown with her waist length wavy red hair and her bluish grey that lit up with realization. I stood there as I watched her closer to me and stood in front of him. She stood at an arms length and it kind of made me grumpy that she didn't come nearer. A sweet yet seductive scent of jasmine and strawberry seemed to emit from her.
Only the goddess knew the thoughts that were swimming in my head at that moment.
“Mine" I heard her say. All my resolve broke at the moment I heard her voice. The thoughts of torturing her for making me wait all this while flew out of my head.
Truly, she was a gift worth waiting for. My gift. Mine alone. So.....
“Yes, you are mine" I saw a tiny of red color her cheeks. It made smile. It seems my little one apparently hasn't been close to other males and I was happy.
I noticed she staggered a bit, so I caught her in my arms to prevent her falling. She was so soft.
“You fit so perfectly in my arms" I saw her smile and I knew at that moment that I, Alexander Miles Anderson, was ready to kill, burn and slaughter for that smile to remain on her face.
