My Widowed Mate

Trevor

Trevor's POV

Alpha Avery of the Oak Wood Pack had sent me out to search the area for a missing she wolf who goes by the name Brittney. She apparently decided to go Rouge and leave the pack after her mate rejected her. I couldn't say I blamed her. Losing a mate is painful. But it was too dangerous out her for her to be alone, and it broke Alpha Averys heart when she left. He just wanted his people safe and happy in his pack.

He wanted me to seek her out and bring her back. Make an offer for hee to stay in the pack house till she healed or found a new mate. I've been out here for a few days now, and there's no sign of her. We weren't sure how far she would run, but this is where Green Forrest Pack resided. The pack where her mother came from.

I decided to check out the mall to see if I could spot her. Wolves were social creatures and enjoyed being near other wolves. Yet they will stick near humans if they have to for the social interaction.

I roamed the mall, keeping my ears open. Many women stared at me as I walked by. Some confident woman eyes would linger and bite their bottom lip at me, taking me in. My wolf Duke would scoff and roll his eyes in my mind. He had no interest in other women, just wanted his mate. I had a different point of view, and I enjoyed having some fun while I waited to find my mate.

I was checking out this blonde woman who was watching me. Her curvy body was tempting me to take her back to my hotel. Her eyes trailed me up and down while she gave me a sexy smile. I could sense she was turned on already. I was ready to go over and introduce myself to her when Duke began stirring in my head. Suddenly, the woman in front of me didn't seem as attractive anymore.

I watched her smile falter as my emotions changed. Then the smell of mint leaves and honey hit my nose. Duke became excited as he knew what that smell meant. My eyes traced the room, trying to figure out where it was coming from. The smell was coming from above but was getting closer. My head turned to the staircase as a woman began to come down.

Duke pushed himself forward to get a good look at her as well. She was about 5'5" with pitch black hair that made her light skin pop. She had a beauty mark on her red plump lips that made her lips look sexy. She was curvy in all the right places with what I could tell a nice ass to. I felt myself harden thinking about bending her over on the banister.

I waited patiently for her to scent me out as well. Ready to take her out to the car and mark her once she noticed me. Her big blue eyes scanned the room once she reached the bottom of the steps. She looked right past me as if she didn't know I was there. I inhaled again and realized she was human. My mate was a human.

She was going to be a challenge now, but I enjoyed a nice challenge. As I watched her walk away confirming her ass was amazing, Duke brought my attention to her left hand. Two rings sat on her ring finger, something humans do to claim each other. A growl escaped my lips at the thought of someone else claiming my mate. She slowed down for a second when she heard the growl but shook her head and kept walking.

Abandoning my mission of finding the missing she-wolf, I began following my mate. I watched her climb into her car and memorized her plate number. I was able to run off into the tree line and shift to keep up with her. Nice thing about Pennsylvania was it was full of trees. Just had to be careful since humans tend to walk through the woods a lot out here. Couldn't risk being spotted.

I managed to track her to a local grocery store and watched her. I watch her in the store looking for something. She looked like she was having a hard time finding it. Duke kept trying to convince me to go up and talk to her. To help her out with what she can't find.Yet I managed to keep him down while she shopped.

She must've sensed someone watching her as she became on edge and started looking around her. I pretended to look at an item and didn't want to spook her. Once it was safe, the girl picked up a simple microwave meal. Duke and I agreed it was weird for a married woman to pick that for dinner.

"Maybe her husband works night's, or is away on business." I told Duk, who didn't like the idea of their mate being left alone at night. He wanted to protect her. She was too beautiful to sleep alone at night. We noticed other human men watch her as she walked by. I had to hold back another growl as a man leaned back as she walked past to check out her ass.

We managed to go unnoticed all the way out the parking lot. Duke couldn't wait anymore and pushed himself forward, making me run up to her. I couldn't manage to say anything else other than "hey"

She was startled and dropped her keys. Duke felt embarrassed, and as did I once, she turned eyes on us. Her cheeks turned into a beautiful shade of pink. She was attracted to u, and I sensed how quickly she was turned on. I couldn't help but smile as did Duke. But that smile quickly faded as her stare turned into a glare. As if she was angry at me for talking to her. The last thing we wanted was to upset her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. " I said sincerely, hoping to make her more comfortable as she picked up her keys and told us it wasn't our fault. When she stood back up straight, we couldn't help but take her in fully. She was amazing to look at, and she was so close to us.

She became embarrassed again, looking away before asking, "What did you need?"

Duke began making a list of things he wanted us to do to her. He was so loud I couldn't think of a question to ask. I ran my hand through my hair, slightly panicking. I felt myself become hard in her presence as if I was younger with no control of myself. I couldn't do this and took off away from my mate at full speed.

Left her standing there, confused about multiple things. Duke began cursing at me in my head for running that fast in front of a human.

"You wouldn't shut the hell up and let me think for a moment, I got nervous." I scolded at him. He rolled his eyes in my head.

This was going to be a lot harder than we thought, I needed to get in control of myself. I gave myself a few moments before tracking her scent again to her home. I needed to know who she was, and the man who placed a claim on her was.
