Damian POV
I had a quick breakfast, thanks to Tory, who made it before I came downstairs. My mate's smell lingered through the house, and I can tell that she was recently here. Ares was anxious to go out and see her, and I had to work hard to maintain control over my body. He is growling in my head, and my headache starts to grow. "Put yourself together, she isn't going anywhere. We will see her, but I need to eat first." He eventually stopped, so I can finish my meal. I was scared, what if she is as beautiful as her smell? Could I resist? Will I lose my wolf if I reject her? And how the f**k am I supposed to reject her, when she doesn't have a clue about us? Goddess, please help me.
I finally made myself to the training grounds. I don't care that I'm late, I was never more scared in my life than I am now. I follow her scent, and it's getting stronger. Ares is purring and pushing me to go faster. I can see her back, she is a petit, with long blonde hair put in a high ponytail. I can't see her features clearly, cause she is wearing a hoodie. "..Your trainer should be here soon.." "I am here, sorry I'm late." Everyone turned their gaze on me, but I waited for her to turn around. My heart is pounding in my chest, and I can't manage to control my breathing. She turned around and.. I am speechless. I locked my eyes with hers, and I just couldn't make my lungs work. Her eyes.. Ocean blue.. I feel like I'm drowning in them. Ares is over the moon, and I know my eyes are changing colors, from hazel to black. I clench my jaw and approach her and Paul. "Oh, Damian, good morning. I am glad that you made it right on time." "I'm sorry I'm late Paul. I didn't sleep very well last night." -"No problem at all my friend. Let me introduce you to your group." I feel her eyes on me. Goosebumps are all over my skin, and my breathing is short, my heart is in my throat. Ares is not helping me at all. " She is perfect man. Goddess, thank you for this diamond. Still, something is off about her." -"What? Is she dangerous? She is hiding something?" -"No, she is not dangerous. She is human, but something is locked in her. Something is calling me. Other wolves can not sense it, but I am an Alpha. She is an unordinary human." I furrowed my brows but pushed my thoughts back. I need to act normal. I heard Paul introduce me. "So, guys, this is your trainer Damian. Watching your scared faces, I don't think respect is going to be an issue." Paul said amused, and that snapped me out of some kind of trans. I looked around, and I see fear and admiration on their faces, lust on girls' faces, and then I dare to look at my mate. Her big blue eyes are looking right into my soul. There is admiration and curiosity, but I can also see lust? She quickly covered it, but it was there. She likes what she sees. I smile for myself, and Ares is giving me hard times with colorful pictures of me and my mate. "Hello everyone. My name is Damian Wilson. I will be your trainer this year. Please, there is no reason for you to feel fear, I won't bite you." I smile at them, and I can sense their relaxation. Their reactions are normal. Werewolf or not, my Aura hits every species equally. But my mate, she is resisting it very easily. I wonder how. "First of all, she is our mate, and therefore equal to us. Second, I think she is not a human. I can't figure it out yet, but I am sure that she is unaware of her potential abilities." Ares said in my head, and I furrowed my brows confused. I was deep in my thoughts and didn't realize that someone is standing right in front of me. She cleared her throat, snapping me from my daze. She stretched her hand "Hi, my name is Iris, this year's trainer for the girls. It is nice to finally meet you." Her voice is music for my ears. Ares is anxious to feel some sparks, but I hesitate. She furrowed her brows in confusion, so I quickly put myself together. "Oh sorry, I was deep in my thoughts. Hello, my name is Damian. The pleasure is all mine Iris." I shook her hand, and a jolt of electricity shot through my body. The feeling of it calmed me instantly but Ares was screaming in my head "MINE!" I clenched my jaw and pushed him to the back of my mind. The bond seems to affect her too, cause she flinched at my touch looking at our hands. "Oh, sorry for the electricity. It happens often, I am some sort of electricity magnet." She laughed, not realizing its the mate bond and not realizing that her laugh made me turn into a sick puppy. This is going to be so hard to endure.
