Canis Lupus

Chapter 6

We made it to the ball and the chauffeur came to us and opened the door. We all piled out and made our way to the ballroom doors. There were so many faces, we had two or three different packs visiting with us this evening to give almost everyone a chance to meet their mate. All the young people are such a different sight for me, we have a big school and a lot of people but it was nothing compared to this. We all walked in, this looked like a prom. They had the whole place decorated in stars and had every pop song in existence playing. I didn’t mind it though, everyone seemed to be having fun. Looking around, you could see there were people finding their mates left and right. Who knew half of our pack would find their mates in different packs, that meant the females would go with the males to become part of their pack. It can sound kind of depressing, but it's all worth it in the end, but deep down I’ll always hope that I won’t have to leave my family. “Cor, look how perfect everything looks. Do you think you’ll find your mate tonight?” Christina asked. “I don’t know Chris, I hope so but I doubt I’ll get lucky enough” I said with a sigh. I didn’t want to be a party pooper, but you honestly never know. “I just need to mingle and see if I feel anything.” I said. “Just remember babe, we just turned eighteen, you don’t have to find him tonight” Christina said, kissing my cheek. I decided to let them have tonight together, they just made their relationship official so they deserved tonight with each other.

I made my way around the room, snacking here and there and talking to all the new faces. The more I saw the other couples finding each other the more it bummed me out. I just wanted my mate. As I was talking to a group of girls from one of our visiting packs, the smell of cinnamon and apples hit me. It wasn’t overbearing but it definitely caught my attention. Zarya started dancing in my head “He’s here, our mate is here. He smells so good, find him! Find him now!” she yelled at me, I turned around and caught some eyes on me, they were all too familiar but it couldn’t be him right? Those icy blue eyes couldn’t be looking at me. He couldn’t be where that amazing smell was coming from. My eyes locked with his and he started making his way towards me, I froze. The only thing I could do was turn away from him so I could breathe. Zarya started yelling at me again “What the hell are you doing?! Turn your ass around! He is coming for us!” There was something animalistic in his eyes and I couldn’t quite understand the feelings rushing through my body. “Do you see how he’s looking at us, how can I turn around? What if he doesn’t want me?!” I said to her in my head, she replied “You will just have to see when he makes it to us.” I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, the sparks were unreal, it felt like pure extacy. How can someone’s touch make every hair on my body stand up, it felt like pure electricity. Before I could attempt to react he slid his hand down my arm and spun me around. There he was, I couldn’t believe it. Sameul was right in front of me, he was intently staring at me and finally said “I knew it was you, I’ve waited weeks for you.” he said stroking my face with his fingers. “You’re mine, how are you mine. I’m a nobody, you’re my alpha how is it...” he interrupts me with a deep passionate kiss. As he pulled away said “You are far from a nobody, you are mine!” he said kissing me again, this time pushing my mouth open with his tongue. I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair, he pulled back and looked me directly in my eyes “I’m so glad I found you, I’ve waited four years for you. You are so beautiful, you’re everything.” he said with a smile on his face making me smile and making Zarya purr. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think Sameul Alexander would be my mate, I always just assumed they were always mated with other wolves in power. Don’t get me wrong I have alpha blood in me, but me and my family are just regular pack members. I looked up at him and then around to the rest of the ball and everyone had their eyes on us. I am not a shy type of person but I have never had this amount of attention on me. There were hundreds of people here, and we were the topic of conversation. “Come with me” he demanded “There is nothing to see everyone, go back to your party” he boomed to the crowd as he pulled me away.

He pulled me into the hallway and wrapped his arms around my waist. I couldn’t believe how big this man was. He towered over me. I was average height for a girl but he was a massive man. He was built like a god, you can only see the top of his tattoos over the collar of his suit but he was covered. His hair was faded on the sides into a long beautiful blonde mane full of curls. Chiseled cheekbones, strong jaw line. How is he mine? Why did our mother goddess see me worthy of him, I’ll never know I guess, but I know I will never complain. This man was all mine, getting used to this was going to be crazy. “He is ours! Him and Draco are ours! Talk to them, we have to know them!” Zarya pleaded with me. I knew I was spacing out when I felt a hand caress my face “what’s going on in there?” he said pointing at my head smiling down at me. I looked at him, locking eyes with him, his icy blue eyes locking with mine. “Is this real? Today I got my wolf, and my mate. She is dancing in my head screaming about Draco. How do I get to have you two as mine forever?” I said to him. Zarya snapped at me “He is ours, they are our perfect match, our other half. Stop doubting this, Draco is embracing us, I am embracing him, you embrace them!” Sameul grabbed my face with both hands and planted a kiss on my lips “This is more real than anything I’ve ever known, you are mine and I am yours. Draco has been on my ass since you arrived, he knew you were here before I could even sense you. Happy birthday my love, I will give you everything in life, this is just the beginning.” I couldn’t believe I was so lucky, not only is this god like body mine, but he’s the sweetest man I’ve ever met in my entire life. “Can you stay with me tonight?” he asked, looking at me with a hint of desperation in his eyes. “I um.. I’m a um..” why couldn’t I form a thought, I’m not a child anymore and I can’t even form a thought. “You’re what my love?” he asked, looking at my eyes. I dropped my face “I’m a virgin.” I said in a low voice. He kinda chuckled as he pulled my chin up making my eyes meet his “My love, I’m not asking you for s*x, I’m asking you to stay with me tonight. When you are ready for us to take that step we will, but I just found you, I want to get to know you, I need to know everything about you” he said gently. My heart skipped a beat, I have never experienced this feeling. “I want to know you too, I’ll stay” I said and leaned up and kissed him. I could most definitely get used to that.

Sameul’s POV

I was running a few minutes late, pack business always had to come first, I was up in one of my group offices finishing up my last contract for the day. I was right above the ballroom so I heard all the music and people, smelled all the smells and I was ready to make my way down. I have been waiting for today for almost three weeks. I had to see Cordelia again, I didn’t know for sure but I was almost positive she had to be my mate. I know she more than likely couldn’t feel it, but as soon as I shook her hand at the job fair I came to, I felt the electricity everyone talks about. I got so lost in her from the moment I met her. She was the only thing on my mind, and the time has finally come to hopefully see her again. I was signing the last bit of my paperwork and I felt Draco perk up. But then it wasn’t just him perking up, it felt like he was running circles in my head. Then the yelling came “Get your ass up! She’s here, I can feel her.” he yelled, “Draco I have literally one page left of this paperwork, one signature. We’re going, I know the first girl I’m looking for. I promise, just let me sign one more signature. “ I replied. “No! You get your ass up now and take me to my mate. You’ve thought about her millions of times but your paperwork is more important right now?!” Draco snapped at me. “This pack has to remain functioning and I’ve put this off long enough. One signature jackass and we will make our way to her” I said back to him. One of us had to keep a level head, I knew he wouldn’t be so hopefully I can. I finished up my paperwork and put the rest of my suit on around 8pm, I knew I was late but I also knew she was still here. “Are you ready, pretty boy?” Draco snarked at me, all I could do was laugh and say yes. “Then get your ass out of the damn door before I lose it!” Draco says. We were walking down to the elevator to get to the first floor to the ballroom and all I could smell was the most delicious smelling homemade cookies. It was enough to make my mouth water, the only thing in my head at this point was going to get her. I made it down to the first floor and practically ran to the ballroom. I started looking around and her scent just got stronger and stronger. After what felt like forever Draco yelled “Turn around” and I saw a beautiful body draped with a blue gown, the lace sleeves wrapped perfectly on her arms. God, she was beautiful. Then she turns, and we lock eyes. Draco pushed forward and we were walking straight for her. About ten feet from her and she drops her face and turns around. Did she not want to see me? I didn’t know what she was doing but Draco said we had to push forward. I made my way up to her and put my hand on her shoulder, god if I thought the sparks were strong before but they were nothing compared to now. I felt pure extacy, euphoria. Her skin gave me the best boost of my life, she gave me butterflies and made my heart stop on a dime. I slid my hand down her arm and firmly grabbed her hand and spun her around before she had any chance of pulling away. I pulled her close to me and said “I knew it was you, I’ve waited weeks for you.” Pushing her hair out of her face and grazing my fingertips on her cheek, I could see her nervousness. She was in shock, and I understood, she was freshly eighteen, she just gained her wolf some time in the last three weeks after we met last. She finally spoke “You’re mine, how are you mine. I’m a nobody, you’re my alpha how is it...” which I interrupted with a deep kiss to her lips. She will not think of herself as anything other than a queen. She was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life and I would make sure she knew in every aspect how perfect she was. “You are far from nobody, you are mine!” I said sternly to her kissing her once again, this time deepening the kiss. I parted her lips with my tongue and let our tongues dance. I’ve never tasted something as good as she tastes. “I’m so glad I found you” I said to her as I pulled away. I saw her smile, one of the brightest smiles I’ve seen, but the smile quickly disappeared when she noticed the crowd of people around us. I had to get her out of here so I could talk to her. My girl will not be uncomfortable if I can help it. “Come with me” I said to her “There is nothing to see everyone, go back to your party” I let the party know as I pulled my mate towards the hallway. I looked back at her to steal a peek of her, she was absolutely the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
