The Lost Werewolf Princess

A Start

He wanted me to go with him? I don’t even know him but I can’t help this pull I have towards him. It feels like everything in me wants to just be encased in his arms hidden away from the world. Safe and sound protected from whatever life throws at me. Honestly with his build I’m sure he quite literally can protect me from whatever life throws. Yet still I know I cannot go anywhere with him. I haven’t even learned his name. With that I finally focused and looked up at this man standing before me. “I can’t go with you. I don’t even know you. Besides that I must get these groceries home for my mother.”

He just looked down at me, his expression hard to read. He looked conflicted over something. Looking as if he had a lot to say but remained silent instead. We stared at each other for a while before I finally broke the silence. “Look I don’t know what any of this truly means and right now I feel like I’m losing my mind. You say you can fill me in but from what I already somewhat know, it’s a lot to grasp in what was supposed to be a quick grocery run for dinner. I really must get going.” My head was spinning and I couldn’t understand how I somehow had a wolf in my head and never knew it until this day. With that I started to walk away having grabbed all I needed for a quick pasta dinner. He started to follow before speaking.

“I can only imagine what must be running through your head right now. It must be a lot. Please don’t leave, I know this is all new to you but I’ve been looking for you for years. I never expected to find my mate in a small human town grocery store. But here we are and now that I’ve found you I don’t want to lose you.”

I stopped dead in my tracks. He doesn’t even know me and doesn’t want to lose me? I know I feel drawn to him so I guess he must feel the same. Is there something more to this mate thing that I’m just not fully grasping yet? Turning to him I decided hell with it I’ll hear him out some more before heading home. Mom can wait a little longer before starting dinner. “You don’t even know my name yet so how about we start with that. I’m Klara”

A smile came across his face, his eyes lighting up with the hope of me giving him the time to start explaining

“Mason” he replied shortly but with a slight chuckle at end. Damn that smile, laugh, and voice of his I could definitely get used to hearing. Smiling shaking my head “alright Mason, I guess follow me and we can talk more outside.” He followed close behind me to check out never once taking his off me beside for the moment he stared down the kid behind the counter that was trying to have a friendly conversation with me. He even emitted a low growl when the kid touched my hand handing back my change. Luckily I don’t think the kid heard it but I still shot Mason a questioning glance when he did it.

He grabbed the bags for me then followed out to my jeep. “So this whole mate thing, please explain? I really don’t know anything besides what my wolf told me which is basically that we’re soul mates partnered together by the goddess. How was I supposed to know we were mates?”

He smiled as if he was so excited to fill me in on how we were mates “yes we’re soul mates essentially, destined for one another decided by the goddess. Basically we are made for each other. As far as knowing it’s usually a feeling that makes you drawn to the other, you all of a sudden will smell something so delightful you can’t help but be drawn to it. Your wolf usually will make a comment saying that’s our mate. When we touch like we did and there was the sparks and warmth, that’s how you know.”

Thinking back on everything he said it makes sense. I smiled at the thought of having someone specifically made for me, meant to be with me. “Ohhh okay I can see how I overlooked those but my wolf didn’t say anything until you asked if she said anything. Do you have any idea why we had to stay hidden?” Looking at him with pleading eyes. Hoping he’d have an answer to why we had to be hidden. There has to be an answer to why, my entire life couldn’t have been a lie without a good reason.

Sadness within his eyes gives me an answer before he can even say it “ I really don’t know why you’d have to be hidden, that doesn’t mean we can’t find out. I’m guessing it would have to be a good reason for you to be so isolated your wolf could barely surface and that you didn’t even know any of our realm existed.”

I didn’t know what to say but my heart told me to trust him. Trust that he’d help me figure all this out. He took my hands in his and the spark immediately started lighting there way up my hands. His touch and presence instantly calmed my overthinking.

“Klara I know this is a lot, but I’ll do whatever I can to figure out why you’ve been hidden.”

I could see he meant it. Truly meant it. Damn is this what it’s like to be mates to someone. I guess the wolves have it a little bit easier finding someone that loves them seemingly automatically.

Looking up at him his reassuring eyes making this a lot harder for reasons I still have yet to grasp “I really must get going but give me your number” with that I handed over my phone allowing him to put his number in

“I’ll shoot you a text when I get home” climbing into my jeep he shut the door for me and stood back watching me as I pulled out of the spot. He stood there watching until my view of him disappeared into the distance. Now I’m just left with trying to figure out all that happened and why I can’t get his touch and the feel of his presence out of my head. The more distance I put between us made me regret ever leaving.
