The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter seventeen

Izzy’s POV

It’s been a crazy day at work, and Shay has been acting up all day to the point that I had to completely block her out.

Usually, she’s so easygoing . I have to wonder what the heck is wrong with her.

I drive up to the house, and you can still see everyone in the backyard.

The party looks like it’s in full swing. I get out of the car and sneak into the house. Going to my room to take a shower.

I strip out of my scrubs and turn on the shower and take a nice hot shower.

After I’m done, I grab a towel and wrap it around my body.

Going to my closet, I pull out a flower summer dress and some white sandals, putting them on.

I then pull my hair up into a messy bun and apply some lip gloss.

I look at myself one last time in the mirror and walk out of my room.

Walking down the hall, as I get closer to the living room,

I smell the most delicious smell I have ever smelled before—it’s like musk in the forest.

It’s incredible. I walk further down the hall, then I see him.

He’s a Greek god. He’s in a pair of jeans and a blue pullover T-shirt. His muscles are bulging. I just want to grab them and feel them.

Shay is going crazy, singing mate mate mate.

When Devin sees me, he has a smile on his face and says, “About time you’re here, Iz.”

At that very moment, he turns around, and I am looking into his deep blue eyes.

Every sound around me stops, and then we both say, “MATE,” the words I have dreamt about ever since I knew what a mate was.

Taylor’s POV

I just stood there. I was at a loss for words. I have traveled all over the world. I’ve been to so many packs that I had lost count looking for my mate.

Only to find out she has been twenty minutes away from me this whole time.

My pack members have been telling me for over a year to come meet the Gomez’s, and I was always too busy.

She has to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her long black hair tied up in a messy bun. Her emerald eyes. I could get lost in them.

She was short, maybe five foot five, but oh did she have a body.

One I will never forget. She has a beauty about her that I have never seen before in a woman.

Her legs I just wanted to wrap them around me and do things I have only dreamed of.

I can’t believe I finally found her. She has been so close to me this whole time. Will she even want me?

She was made for us. I never moved. I was so hypnotized by her beauty.

But it wasn’t just on the outside. You could see the kindness in her eyes. It was like I was drowning in them.

I couldn’t breathe. Hey, stupid, wake up. Or mates getting away, shouts Ry.

Izzy’s POV

My mate, I finally found my mate. He hasn’t even said a word besides mate.

He’s gorgeous, but I don’t think he wants me. He’s just staring at me, not saying anything.

I look like a Devin with tears running down my face. I turn around and run to my room, slamming the door behind me.

My mate doesn’t want us, Shay. Calm down, Izzy. He never said that. He never said anything. That’s my point, Shay. He never said anything.

Taylor’s POV

I can’t believe I just hurt my mate. She thinks I don’t want her. I do. I’ve always wanted her.

Even when I was younger and I could feel all the pain she was in.

She’s my Luna. Why wouldn’t I want her? Because you stood there like a stupid and you didn’t say anything, remarks Ry.

You have one job, human, that was to get our mate, you blew that. Shut up!!! blocking him out.

Devin, I want her. I have always wanted her ever since I was sixteen.

I could feel all the things she went through. I’ve waited for her.

Izzy is all I have ever wanted.

Wait, what do you mean you have felt her since you were sixteen? Says Devin.

I felt everything, every punch, slap, kick, every time she cried when she’s sad, happy, no matter what it was.

She has felt you too through the years. At first, she thought she was going crazy, but then after a while, she said it gave her comfort that she was not alone.

She dreamed of meeting you since she was young. Probably when you got your wolf was when she started feeling you.

GO TO MATE!! MATE IS CRYING!!”

Okay, Ry, I’m going.” I walk down the hall and I can hear her crying.

It saddens me to think I caused this. Not because I don’t want her. But she is just so beautiful.

I knock on the door, she doesn’t answer. I grab the knob and turn it, opening the door, she’s sitting on the bed with her hands over her face, crying.”

I can’t believe you made mate cry. You’re an i***t, scuffs Ry. Yes, I’m an i***t. I get it, Ry, blocking him out.”

I walk up to the bed and kneel in front of her, I slowly reach up and grab her hands.”

I can feel the warmth and electricity that runs through my body, making every part of me come alive. This feeling is amazing.”

I look at her, then reach over and wipe away the tears from her eyes.”

Izzy, I say softly. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

Did you come to reject me since I’m a rogue, who would want a rogue?”

I didn’t come to reject you. I have wanted you since I was sixteen.

I have searched the world looking for you. To find out that you have been twenty minutes away from me this whole entire time.”
