The Lonely Girl

Chapter 7 - Santi

After dropping Sahara off I contacted Alana immediately, I needed as much information as possible about my mate. Tonight was the best night of my life, by the end of the night we were talking like we’d known each other forever. Although I still didn’t know much about her, she seemed very unwilling to discuss her personal life. Alana was back at her apartment so I drove straight there. My second in charge or Beta Lailani and my third in charge or Gamma Trent we’re on the way as well. Everyone greeted me with excitement, clapping me on the back, genuinely happy that I’d found my mate. We all sat down in the lounge area to discuss Sahara. “So Alana, I need to know whatever you know about her, she seems so closed off”. “Honestly Santi, the fact that you know where she lives means you know more than me. We’ve worked together for about 6 months, she rarely even speaks to other people. She’s really great at her job, she’s incredibly patient with the most difficult of people and with her skills, she’d be given more opportunities if she worked in a hospital. The first time we’ve seen each other outside of work was this week, guess I finally wore her down. I’ve been pestering her for months to get coffee. She’s such a great girl and I really wanted a friend in the city”. I sighed frustrated, I was going to have to do this the hard way. “Lailani and Trent can you see if you can dig up any background information on her”. “ Right away” they replied. I would have to delay my return to our pack, I planned on leaving tomorrow but I wasn’t going anywhere without her. “Well she said she’d call me when she has a day off so I guess I’ll wait for her call so I don’t seem too pushy”. Alana spoke up “she won’t call you, she just said that so she didn’t seem rude rejecting you to your face. I’m sure she only came out for coffee with me became she forgot about it and accidentally saw me on the way out of work “. I groaned out loud “looks like I’ll have to make the first move”. “ She’d had a bit to drink, I could call in tomorrow to check on her” I said. Alana spoke with a grin “Bring her breakfast”.

We’ll it didn’t go as bad as I thought, she actually let me in her apartment, I think she was too shocked to refuse. Her apartment was quite run down but she’d decorated it nicely. It was very inviting, I could see she had a cat, it didn’t get too close, it probably knows what I am. I’m disappointed that she doesn’t want a relationship but at least she hasn’t outright rejected me. Maybe she feels the bond a little bit. It always takes longer for humans. She seemed a bit confused that I’d want to go grocery shopping with her. I’m hoping by doing these everyday things with her she’ll see that I’m a decent guy and start to trust me.
