Xander’s POV
I lay in wait in the bushes, watching as the little redhead walks around the bend. She’s a cute little package,can’t be more than 5’2” with long fiery red hair and the most vibrant green eyes I’ve ever seen. Though he appearance is stunning, it’s not the thing that caught my attention. My wolf Murdoch is fighting to keep her within our sight,whimpering as she goes around the bend.The smell of vanilla and coconut is strong in the air. My wolf wants nothing more than to rub against her legs like a useless house cat and let out a content rumble.
Giving into the urge to keep an eye on my mate, I quickly slink back into the woods to an old hollowed out tree where Ive left my clothes. Once there I let the shift take over, it’s quick and painless.Standing naked before the tree, I stoop down and collect my clothes putting them on quickly before turning and going back the way I came. Reaching the gravel road I start walking in the direction my mate went,following the addictive scent of coconut and vanilla. I’m determined to see where she was going at such an early hour. I must learn as much about her as possible.
As I walk I think about what will happen when Zane, my twin brother and co alpha of the Blood Moon pack,will do when he hears I found our mate. Being twins we’ve always known that we would share at mate. Zane’s wolf Zaylen is just as big as Murdoch and just as intimidating with his solid black coat and ice blue eyes.
Zane and I took over the Blood Moon pack when we were 16, our parents were killed during a rouge attack. Now that we’ve reached the age of 30, having not met our mate was a rare thing. Most wolves find their mates by their 18 birthday when they hit maturity. Many she wolves showed interest in us hoping that we would make them of chosen Luna but we chose to wait for of destined mate. Now that we’ve found her we won’t let anything come between us.
