All the things I didn’t know.

Fools rush in (Cohens POV)

‘Hunter, calm down man. I know that Alpha summit took way longer than usual and you’re anxious to get back to our pack, but could you chill out? You’re giving me a headache. We’ve been on a plane all night and it’s way too early for your s**t’

‘We have to get to mate’ he demanded. Ha. Yeah right. Mate. He knows we don’t have a mate. We’re the only Future Alpha to be over 21 with no mate. Not that I haven’t been looking, I must be being punished by the Moon Goddess for something, because I really don’t think she’s out there. I’ve met every girl in our pack and most of the neighbouring packs. She’s not there.

We finally pull into the driveway of the packhouse and Hunter is running laps in my mind. I’ve never had him do this before. As soon as I walk through the front door I am hit with the most wonderful scent. It’s honey and cinnamon with a bit of cream. Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Instinct takes over and I have to follow the smell. Only it’s going in two directions, one way dragging me out the back door, the other way, up to the 3rd floor.

I take the stairs 3 at a time until I follow it to my suite. I open the door and the scent engulfs me. I could live in this smell happily for the rest of my days. It’s all over but strongest in the guest room. I opened the door and noticed the bed had been slept in. I can’t help myself. I lay face first onto the bed. I take a deep breath and feel my c**k start to swell. I don’t know who this girl is or why she was in my room, but I know one thing. She’s my mate.

I lay there for a bit just enjoying the smell and the tingling sensation it gives me all over, then figured I had better go shower and try to figure out who my mystery girl is. I strip off my clothes and toss them into the hamper as I step into the shower. As the hot water runs down my body, I am painfully aware of how heavy and engorged my d**k feels. Being well endowed as it is it’s difficult to ignore. My thoughts drift to my mystery girl and my hand travels to my shaft. I mindlessly start to stroke myself while allowing myself to fantasize about what she might look like. I bet she’s tall, with soft blonde hair and blue, no! green eyes. I bet she’s gorgeous. My hand starts to grip my c**k tighter, as I work myself. It doesn’t take long before I’m spilling ropes of c*m onto the shower floor. I finish up my shower and step out.

Her scent, it’s intensified by a thousand. She’s here. I quickly towel dry my hair and throw on a pair of grey basketball shorts. I follow the scent until it becomes strongest. It’s then that my world stops. All of a sudden, the centre of my universe shifts. It’s her.

She's beautiful. No scratch that, she’s unbelievably gorgeous. She bent over looking for something in the fridge. Her long toned legs are on full display leading up to her luscious a*s being gently cradled by a pair of black boy short pantries . Her body is like an hour glass, her waist is smaller but her t**s are perfect. Not too big, not too small. Her n*****s are hard from leaning into the fridge and my mind is taken over with the thought of putting one of her hard pink n*****s in my mouth. What is wrong with me? I have never even met this girl. Or have I? She turns around startled and her eyes catch mine.

She’s back. It’s Charlie. One green eye and one blue. She still has the freckles across her nose, her perfect beautiful nose above her full soft pillow-like lips that it’s taking everything in me not to run to her and claim those lips.

Three things dawned on me. Firstly, she doesn’t recognize me or doesn’t remember me. This one hurts a bit.

Secondly, she’s human. Well, part of her is. She’s definitely part wolf but also part human. This could prove difficult.

Thirdly, she was my mate. The one other soul in this world that my heart was irrevocably tethered to. The one that the moon goddess created strictly for me and no one else.

“I think you might be lost”, Smooth Cohen, the first thing you say to your future Luna and that’s what you pick?!

Her face immediately flushed a crimson red and she screamed "What are you doing in here?" even though she was screeching at me it was still the most beautiful voice I had ever heard.

Feeling the need to smooth things over, I continued, "I could ask you the same thing." I couldn't help it when a smile crept across my face.

"Not that I mind having a fuking stunning woman in my kitchen, but who are you?" I knew who she was, but I couldn't let her know that and think that I was some kind of creepy stalker. This was not exactly what I had envisioned when I imagined meeting my mate after all these years.

"Your kitchen?! Isnt this my dad's place?" I saw her eyes darting around then, the pink hue became even stronger across her cheeks. "Charlie, I'm Charlie" she frantically spat out. '

Charlie, mate' Hunter sighed in my head, he then made a noise I have never once heard him make, he began to purr.

"I'm so sorry, I thought this was his house and I got here last night and it was dark and oh my goddess I am so sorry!" she put her face in her hands and hid.

"Hey, Charlie, don't worry about it, it was an honest mistake and, believe me, I'm not sorry at all. I'm Cohen, you don't remember me do you? We used to be friends when you lived here before."

Her eyes widened and she gasped "Cohen?! Like, little 9 year old Cohen who used to make mud pies and run through the woods with me?!"

I couldn't help but let a little chuckle escape my lips, "one in the same. Hey Chuck" I added the last part with a wink. I know I shouldn't be outwardly flirting with the half human, half wolf girl who got caught red-handed in my house, but it was impossible not to.

Everything in my body wanted to close the distance between us and hold her in my arms and never let her go. What if she doesn't feel this way for me? She isn't a full wolf after all and she's not 18 yet so she probably doesn't even realize she has a wolf yet. I'm not so sure about that last part, however, Hunter was jumping around in my head like a rowdy puppy, he must be feeling some kind of connection to her wolf.

"Ugh, Chuck? You too? Its bad enough my dad calls me that. No, I remember you". She looked up at me through her impossibly thick lashes.

"You have just changed, A LOT". I could feel her eyes raking their way up and down my body.

I'm used to having she-wolves from our pack and others look at me like I was their next meal, but I had never really paid them any mind. Sure, I'm a man with needs, so from time to time I would take one of them to bed to fuk but that was it. Just s*x, nothing more, a means to an end.

When Charlie's eyes lingered on my shirtless body, I felt like my body was set a blaze. I took a step forward hesitantly and opened my arms slightly, inviting her in. She began to step forward but stopped abruptly.

"Cohen, would you excuse me a moment. I should probably get some pants" she allowed a small giggle to escape her lips as she turned to walk away back in the direction of my guest bedroom. I could listen to that sound forever.

I have no shame, I watched her body move across the floor of my house and it felt like she was home. It felt like the part of me that had been left feeling empty for so many years was compete again.

I hate to see her go but man, do I love to watch her leave.

Fuk, I'm screwed, I haven't even touched this girl and already I feel like I would jump off a cliff if she asked me. I watched her hips sway and the gentle movements of her a*s every second until she disappeared into the guest room.
