Lost in this World

Chapter 3

Cedes

I’m still starring at this man as he looks at me and said, “ I’ve been searching for you.”

“I’m sorry sir, but I think you are mistaking me for someone else.”

“No, my dear, you are the one I have been searching for and I have finally found you.” He states to me. I’m nervous because why would someone so gorgeous be looking for me? As quickly as I was lost to those blue eyes, reality snapped back when he said, “ I heard y’all have the best coffee around and make amazing cakes.” Oh, so that’s why he was searching for me, silly of me to think differently.

“I’m sorry sir but let me help you with your order. I’m Mercedes, Cedes for short. If you want to place an order I’ll be glad to assist you!”

Eli’s POV

“Just how smooth was that, Eli?” My wolf Max yells at me. “Max, don’t start I still smell the rain and pine, and you won’t stop pacing in my head.” He finally simmers down, but is still whining back in my head. I can’t get over how much she looks like the Queen, but she’s so different. Our Queen has long brown hair with piercing blue eyes, a small button nose and has the correct curves for someone of her statue. Now, Cedes she said too call her is perfection. Mid-back strawberry blonde hair with amazing green eyes. She stands about 5’7 and is absolutely gorgeous. She doesn’t seem to wear make-up, and that’s 100% perfect. So not like other were-shes. She’s natural and she’s just.. she’s perfect for me.

“Let me introduce myself, Cedes, correct?” I ask her, she lowers her head just a bit and tells me correct. “ Cedes, I am Eli, I’m from a town nearby and am visiting an uncle who lives in town and he told me I would just have to try some of your cakes while I’m here.” She looked up at me, oh those beautiful green eyes, and says, “ we have an assortment of cakes, we can make you a sample platter and package it up for you if you would like?” Of course, Max perks up again and is excited for cake. Silly wolf. “ Yes, Cedes that would be amazing.” She tells me my total, and as I proceed to pay her, our hands touch just slightly.. the sparks! Omg the sparks! She’s my mate. Max is screaming now, “MATE MATE MATE.”
