Jenson’s Point of View
"Look Ian, I don't think she's going to be here. I might as well give up. The Moon Goddess hasn't given me a mate. If she did, then she’s probably dead. It honestly wouldn't surprise me." I said as I mumbled the last part.
"Dude, you've got to calm down. She's out there. Hopefully she's here. Don't get your hopes up." said my beta. He's my best friend, but I'll never understand why he is so hellbent on me finding my mate. I've already come to terms with the fact that I probably don't have one. I'm to the point that I am about ready to just choose a mate instead of waiting for my destined mate. Who knows, I may just choose an alpha's daughter from one of the packs. Maybe then I'll have an even better alliance than this pack.
"I'm done with this conversation, Ian. Just drop it for both of our sakes!" I swear I can never get just a few minutes to morne and let myself think. As we pull up to the Black Moon Pack Kyro, my wolf, begins to stir. "What is it Kyro?" I asked. "Mate! Our mate is here!" He begins to pace around in circles with his nose in the air, and his ears perked up. "Do you really think so?" All of a sudden a faint smell hits me. It's the sweetest smell. It smells like black cherries with a slight hint of vanilla. It smells like home. Like something so fresh, but sweet. It makes my stomach do somersaults.
I mindlink Ian as calmly as I can, considering I don't want to boost his ego anymore. "She's here!" I say threw the link. "Who's here! Is it who I think you're about to say?" he says. "It's my mate!"
Ian looks at me with the biggest, cockiest smile written on his face. I try to hide my excitement as best as I can before we meet with Alpha Derek.
As we are escorted into the Alpha's office we see a guard coming out of the what looks to be a door to a basement. Before he closed the door I got a slight sent of bodily fluids, the copper smell of blood and a slight sent of silver. Ian and I look at each other with confusion and wonder. As the guard walks past us I smell the scent of my mate on him. It was faint, but it was still there. Kyro begins to stir in my mind, his jealousy starting to come to the surface. When the guard sees us, he stops and says "Alpha Jenson, Beta Ian." We nod our heads and the guard continues to where ever he was headed. As we continue to walk to Alpha Derek' office I get hit with the scent again. Again, it's faint, but it's there.
"Alpha Jenson it is a pleasure to have you here. Please sit!" I sit down on the chair in front of his desk. "So what brings you here to the Black Moon Pack if I may ask."
I slightly shrug my shoulders, and tell him, "I am traveling to every pack in the continental US to see if I can find my mate." I see the twinkling in his eyes when I said this.
"Well Jenson, son, I hope you find her here!" He says with joy. Reading his body language, he is hoping it is someone in this pack, higher rank most likely. If my guess is right, I'm saying he hopes it is his daughter.
"I have found her scent. It's here faintly. I've been smelling it since we got out of the vehicle all the way to your office. It was slightly more when we came past, what I assume is a basement, door." At this comment his eyes begin to widen. "Sir the only people who are allowed in my office are my mate, my daughter and two of the maids. Do you want us to bring them all in one at a time?"
"Yes that would be great." I say as I force a smile on my face. I'm dreading the idea that his daughter could be my mate. Goddess please don't let it be her.
~~~~~
Derek's daughter, Violet, was not my mate. She"s a pretty girl, don't get me wrong, but her voice sounded like claws being dragged against a chalk board, and don't even get me started on her laugh. They can't seem to find one of the maids so I'm assuming she is somewhere cleaning. They bring the other maid in, and as soon as the door opens I get hit with the mouthwatering smell of black cheery and vanilla. As soon as she walks in I see her, and my heart skips a beat.
"MATE!" Kyro howls in my head. I try to remain calm and keep my heart from beating out of my chest. "I wonder how old she is?" I say to Kyro. "She doesn't seem to be jumping for joy so I have to say she's probably 17 or younger, duh." I roll my eyes inwardly, praying that's the case.
Derek hollers at the young lady, and it takes every ounce of strength I have to keep myself, and Kyro, from going over to him and braking his neck. "How dare he holler at our mate. "Kill him now before I take control, and do it for you." Kyro says. "No Kyro, we will start a war. We have no backup besides Ian and a few guards." He grunts and lays down in the back of my mind while still growling and shaking with rage.
"Yes, take Alpha Jenson to the guess roon. Organize his things, and be sure to help him with anything he needs. You will be his personal maid while he is here. Am I understood Samantha?" He hollers causing spit to fly out of his mouth. If it wasn't for tears about to fall out of her eyes, I would have grabbed him by his neck, picked him up, and snapped his neck right then and there. She apologized for seeming to zone out. I will have to talk to her about this eventually, but for right now I just want to follow my mate and watch her as she leads me to the guest room.
As we walk to the guest room I can't help but to look at her. She's so perfect, from her long black hair, to her luscious legs, to her cute little feet.When we finally get to the room, and Samantha went to unpack my stuff, I grabbed her wrist telling her that she didn't need to do that; that I am a big boy and can handle unpacking my own stuff. She replied with her head hung low, "No sir Alpha Jenson, I must put your clothes and belongings away or Alpha Derek will surely punish me." That caused a low growl to erupt from my chest, causing her to flinch. I get my anger in check when I see how bad I startled her. "I don't care what his orders are. If he does't know then it won't hurt him. So Samantha, tell me about yourself." I ask as I get chills from just saying her name.
Her eyes widen to the size of saucers. She begins to profusely shake her head side to side telling me that she does't want to reveal anything about herself. She then replies that she isn't allowed to answer any questions about herself unless Alpha Derek gives her permission to. My blood begins to boil at this point. I then ask "Well if I ask a question can you nod your head yes or no?" She tells me yes so I begin to ask her if she has her wolf yet. She shakes her head no. I then proceed to ask her if she is 17. She nods her head yes.
My jaw dropped. That explains why she can't feel the mate bond yet.
"If that is all you need, sir, I will leave and go start cooking supper." She whispered.
"Yes Samantha that is all I need. Thank you. See you shortly little wolf." I say tp her which causes her to blush. Goddess help me, this girl is going to be the death of me.
