Taylor’s POV
We all get out of the car and head towards the house while Jarred and I make our way to the backyard.
Taylor, Sara, and I are going to go find the restroom. Typical snorts, Jarred. Sara glares at Jarred. Fine, come find us when you’re done, says Taylor.
See you in a few moments, we won’t be long.
We noticed there was a bunch of our pack members here; they were bowing their heads as we passed by.
I mind-link them, telling them to stop. Tonight I’m just a guest like the rest of you.
Taylor, are you getting soft on me? I’ll give you soft-raising an eyebrow at him with a smirk.
I bet you would, you would just love that, wouldn’t you! Sure sounds fun to me, I chuckle.
Alpha Taylor, I assume, extending his hand for me to shake.
Taylor is just fine. I’m Devin Gomez, and these are my brothers Zack and Liam.
The Gomez brothers, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, shaking their hands. I’ve heard a lot about your family. Well, I hope it’s all good, replies Zack.
Actually, it was all good, says Jarred. Oh, sorry, this is my Beta Jarred.
His sister Sara and my sister Alicia are running around here somewhere. I will introduce you to them when we find them.
Alicia’s POV
This house is beautiful, Sara. I know it’s small, but it’s cozy. Izzy walks out of her room and runs smack into Alicia.
Oh, I’m so sorry, I should have watched where I was going. It’s fine, laughs Alicia.
I should have been paying more attention, but I couldn’t get over how beautiful this house is.
Thank you, my brothers and I have put a lot of work into it. Oh, I’m sorry, where are my manners!
I’m Izzy Gomez. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
I’m Alicia Diaz, and this is Sara Trent. Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are? That hourglass shape plus the a** to go with it! I’m mumbling to myself.
You could be a model, says Sara. My face turns bright red, but somehow I manage to say thank you.
Oh, and you’re polite and kind. Where have you been hiding, says Sara. Do you have a boyfriend, Izzy? Um, no, I’m waiting to find my mate if that ever happens, I sigh.
Well, that’s the same for us; otherwise, our brothers would kill us, says Alicia.
Oh, who are your brothers? My brother is Taylor, and hers is Jarred, says Alicia.
Sara says they are strict but loving. Alicia laughs, agreeing. However, don’t tell them that; it might damage their reputation as strict and cold. They all start laughing.
We were about to go outside; would you like to join us? I’m sorry; I was just about to leave.
I’m on my way to work. Wait, but isn’t this party for you and your brother? Asks Alicia.
Yes, it is, unfortunately, I got called into work, I forgot my keys and was just coming to grab them.
I’m sorry; I really gotta go. I will be back in a few hours . I’m gonna hold you to that, Izzy. says Alicia.
It was a pleasure to meet you both. Bye, I wave to them going out the front door.
Zack’s POV
I walk through the back door to grab a beer for Taylor and Jarred, I’m hit with the most amazing smell;
it’s like wildflowers in the spring. I look up and see the most beautiful and amazing woman I’ve ever seen.
MATE!! MATE!! Yells Chip. I know, I know; calm down before we scare her.
What’s your name, I ask, not being able to take my eyes off her.
M..my name is Alicia …Alicia Diaz, she says in a low but sweet calming voice. As she blushes.
Alicia, her name is Alicia, with her long brown wavy hair, her big blue doe eyes, and her body; wow, she’s got curves. She is just so beautiful.
I never imagined that my mate would be this beautiful.
I walk over to her, reach down, and grab her hand. I feel the electricity shoot up my arm. This is amazing.
I change my mind. I do want my mate! Told ya chip smirks, yeah, you don’t have to rub it in!
Thank you, moon goddess.
Her lips; I could kiss those all day.
Wait, did you say Diaz?
Yes. So your brother is Alpha Taylor?
Yes. Is that a problem? No, no, not at all.
He seems like a nice guy. I just met him a few minutes ago.
Alicia POV
Oh my lord, he’s gorgeous—his thick black hair, his gorgeous hazel eyes.
His chiseled face, his biceps—they’re so big I feel like I am drooling.
I can’t take my eyes off of him. I would love to run my fingers over every inch of his body.
He’s tall—at least six foot two.
He’s so handsome, everything I ever wanted. Oh, and his hazel eyes—they’re so dreamy.
He’s gorgeous.
Kara is wagging her tail with her tongue out, drooling. Making me laugh.
Hey Jarred, what do you want, Sara? I just thought you should know—Alicia just found her mate. What!!! Yep, you heard me. Sh** I’ll let Taylor know.
Taylor, your sister just found her mate. Sh** Where is she? Chuckling, I just said the same thing.
Shut it, Jarred!! Okay, okay, putting my hand up. She’s inside with Sara.
Devin, I need a few minutes—I need to go see my sister. She just found her mate.
Could it be Zack? mumbles Devin, if it is, this should be good from the man that says I don’t want a mate, so I don’t care if I ever find her.
Sure, let me show you inside. Devin opens the door, and all I can smell is vanilla and strawberries—it’s the most amazing and intoxicating smell I ever smelled in my entire life. MATE! I smell MATE, Ry says.
