James
I am sitting in my room relaxing at the Pack house, when there is a tap at my door. “Come in.”
A warrior opens the door, she informs me. Alpha Adam would like to see me in his office. As I stand up and walk past her, I say a quick thank you, then head down to his office.
Before my hand can even touch the door I pick up, “Come in James” As I enter the office, Alpha Adam continues speaking “I have good news, I hope. They sent me this. It’s a video of a young woman who presents to be my granddaughter, Elizabeth.” He says, pointing to the flat screen on the wall.
As I study the video, I see she is the most striking girl I have ever laid eyes on. Blake stirs at the sight of her.
“Where was the video taken, Sir?”
“Georgia, a small town called Madison. When can you head out?”
“I can head out right now.” He attached the video file and the email. Sending both to me. I head up to my room grabbing a bag I have ready to go. making my way out to the garage. Grabbing the keys to Marcus’s black four-door Jeep Rubicon. That should piss him off. Marcus is my rival, you could say, or at least he thinks so. In reality, he could not hold a candle to me. Not that he is a weak wolf, he just thinks he is stronger than he is.
With that, I pull out of the garage and pass Marcus on my way down the driveway. I wave goodbye to him with a grin. He just stands there with a scowl on his face.
It takes 2 days on the road to reach Madison. I nap in the car, at any rest area or back road available. When I arrive in Georgia, I turn onto Interstate 20 and head into town. I locate the park in the video, using my GPS to see if I can track her. When I arrived at the park’s location, I picked up the faint scent of two She-Wolfs. It’s just strong enough to track.
I locate them with relative ease. One is a young She-wolf. She is stunning in the way the sunlight hits her silver hair. Next to her is an older she-wolf, who seems to catch my scent for a second. By the way, she straightens her body, but after a couple of seconds, she relaxes.
The moment the young she-wolves scent hits my nose, my wolf circles. “Our mate! It’s her, our mate!” The urge to run to her is overwhelming, but I stop and decide to stay back to observe them for a while. Keeping a close watch I follow them home, a short distance from the park. A bittersweet moment.
I found a hotel close to the park. When I get in my room, I call the Alpha and ask how he wants me to proceed. I also inform him she has a similar scent to his. But leave out that she is my mate. If she turns out to be Elizabeth, she can’t mate with me.
As I get into bed, trying to float off to sleep, there is a hammer at my door. It’s an old hippie she-wolf. I soon realized it’s the older she-wolf from this afternoon. When I open the door, she pushes past me and shuts it behind her. She questions me.
“Who are you? What do you want, and why were you following us earlier today.?” she states with a small growl.
I give her my name and over the next 2 very long hours; I explain why I am here. I also explain that I need to meet with the young wolf. After that, she agrees for me to meet with Elizabeth in the morning. With that, she leaves.
After she leaves, I take a little time to fall asleep. When I wake in the morning, I jump in the shower. Then head out. Once I arrived at the house. I get out of the truck, heading for the front door. Just as I am about to tap on the door, I hear my wolf say.
“It’s her. Our mate is in there. We must get her”. I pushed this to the side and fell on the door.
