TOMAS’S POV
“Tomas gets in here” I heard my father shout my name as I was walking past his office the following day. I had been avoiding him again after I kept him waiting for me and Cindy the whole day.
“Yes dad,” I said as I walked into his office, he had a frown on his face but as soon as he looked up at me it disappeared
“What is going on with you?” he asked
“Dad if you called me here just to tell me how you told me so I am not in the mood,” I said as I sunk into the chair lazily
“Sit up straight. I see you finally saw Cindy for who she is but that is not the reason why I called you here. Your brother has returned from his business trip but I asked him not to come here, I want him to help you search for your mate” he said and I sunk into the chair even deeper if that was even possible
“Dad wh
MIRANDA’S POV “Dear I will need you to go to the bakery earlier than usual tomorrow,” Ms. Caroline said after we had dinner and as I was washing the dishes. “No problem,” I said, I enjoyed working at the bakery because it was a way for me to keep busy and not think about anything else. The job was more of a hobby than a job for me because I enjoyed it too much. Working for humans was better than working for wolves, they treated me better than my own kind ever did and made me feel like my efforts were being recognized and appreciated. I had asked Ms. Caroline not to pay me for the work I did at her bakery, but she insisted on paying me because she said that if she didn’t pay me she would feel like she was taking advantage of me and using me and that wasn’t the way she was brought up and taught. “It will be Rebecca’s birthday tomorrow an
MIRANDA’S POV“Good morning, can I take your order?” I asked the very handsome man that I was seeing for the first time in the bakery. We didn’t get new people very often so it was very interesting to see a new face and I enjoyed the fact that the face was not only friendly but also very handsome.He looked so handsome, he had blue-green eyes and a sharp check bone, his blonde hair was cut short and neat and he was all muscled up and even though he was sitting down I could see he was a little taller than me, and a total hunk. After what I had been through with a man I couldn’t believe that I was allowing myself to even lust after one.“I am new here, please suggest something for me, maybe something that you like,” he said with the brightest smile revealing his sharp white canines and making me un
TOMAS’S POVThe following days leading up to me and my trackers going to get my mate back were excruciatingly slow and I couldn’t take it. It was like riding to war on a chameleon’s back and it was unbearable. I felt like every moment I spent sitting at home was a moment of victory for my brother and I couldn't stand it. But If I wanted to win with Miranda I had to wait and take it slow I couldn’t jump the gun and ruin everything for myself. I knew that if I rushed anything I would end up losing everything that I was working so hard to achieve and I didn't want to lose.When the day to go and try to speak to her had finally arrived, I was feeling a wave of mixed emotions. I was both excited and nervous of what her reaction to me would be. I woke up that morning and got ready to go and try to win Miranda’s heart with hopes that she would have me. The worst thing that could happen to me was if she rejected me the same was I rejected her, that would be an i
TOMAS’S POVWhen we got to the small town that Miranda was now staying in, we went to look for her in the bakery she was said to be working in first but she wasn’t there. We never went in but when we asked the people that were hanging around the bakery they told us that Ms. Caroline who was the owner of the bakery had told them that she had given Miranda the day off because she wasn’t feeling well.Of course, I wondered if Miranda wasn’t really feeling well for real or if she had just sued that as an excuse because she knew I was going to be coming for her. We had been apart for a while but surely the mate bond was still at work because I had never broken the mate bond.When we discovered that she wasn’t at the bakery and that she was at home instead we headed there straight away. The house was small and a little secluded but it looked cozy, that was the thing about humans they were simple creatures and that was the reason we considered them to be lower than Omegas with their weak and
MIRANDA’s POV“You will kill Ms. Caroline and everybody else if I don’t go back with you?” I asked him as I slowly walked back toward him“Yes I will kill them all and you know I can do that,” he said and I shook my head in disbelief“Is that supposed to make see that you have had a miraculous change of heart and you really want me back? “ I asked him“It’s supposed to show you I will do anything to have you come back home with me," he said and I laughed sarcastically“And as you drove here it never crossed your mind that I don’t want to come back with you, it never even once crossed your mind that the hurt you caused me was way too deep for me to forgive and forget? Tomas, you can’t control and manipulate me anymore and your threats mean nothing to me, I am not going back with you” I said“Then I will kill them all,” he said and I laughed“No you won’t,” I said challenging him, I suddenly felt very confident and I was glad that I could talk back at him and stand up to him, I had had
MIRANDA’S POV“Miranda honey where have you been, I was beginning to get worried about you,” Ms. Caroline asked as I entered through the back door“Oh I am sorry, I was out swimming in the lake the water was so nice. I also sat and watched the sunset it was so beautiful I must have lost track of time” I said“Oh I see but you must be careful the water tends to get a little too cold in the evenings and I don’t want you catching a cold,” she said and I nodded, I was touched by her concern. She reminded me a lot of my mother.“What’s for dinner?” I asked changing the subject and looking over at the pots she was busy with“I made some beef stew, I thought it would be nice to have with some rice,” she said“That’s a simple but perfect meal,” I said sitting down as she started dishing “I hope everything was ok at the shop today,” I said it was a perfect meal for me because I was feeling a little cold.“Oh everything was perfect, I even had some help from a helpful young man but I do hope yo
MIRANDA’S POVI woke up the next day feeling a little refreshed, even after I had spent half the night thinking about the suggestion that Ms. Caroline had made the previous night. I wondered if I was at all capable of befriending William and if I would be capable of trusting him after what happened with Tomas. But that was just it, I had to remember that William wasn’t Tomas, and thankfully so.But I had to be careful with the kind of ideas that I entertained especially with Tomas thinking that he had some kind of claim over me after the way he treated me. The last thing I needed and the last thing that this little community of humans needed was two wolves turning their town into a battleground and fighting over me. Not to mention they would expose me and how I have deceived Ms. Caroline by making her think I was one of them.Despite the negative thoughts that I had concerning giving William a chance for friendship and seeing where that friendship could lead us, I decided to give him
MIRANDA’S POV“Let go of me or I will scream,” I said as soon as we were inside and I reached for the lights to switch them on. After I switched the lights on my captor immediately let go of me and I took the opportunity to turn around and give him a very big piece of my mind“William?” I was shocked “what are you doing here so early in the morning, I haven’t even opened yet,” I asked as I backed away from him“Ms. Caroline asked me to come and keep an eye on you, she said you had been very jumpy lately because you felt like you were being followed,” he said and I felt like he was lying“and she decided to ask a stranger who came around here at the same time I felt like I was being followed, I mean for all we know you could be the one following me, especially after the way you just grabbed me from behind,” I said“I think you should be grateful that I was here, I mean I noticed that you were being followed and that is why I reacted the way I did,” he said and shifted uncomfortably“I
