Chapter Four

Logan

Max was waiting on the bench when I returned from my run. Aspen grabbed my clothes and we head to the tree line to change. I came back out and sat with him on the bench.

"How's was it?" Max asked.

"Good, though outer buildings need to be maintained. Can you contact the home owners and get the maintenance crew on it?" I asked. He nodded. Talking out his little notebook and added it in.

"Its almost one, wanna go get pizza while we talk about the rest of your run and I give you reports?" Max suggested, as my stomach growled.

"Yeah. Pizza sounds good."

We headed to the pack house garage to grab our motorcycles. Threw our helmets on and raced each other to town. I was the first to reach to Little Italy, our regular pizza place. It was already a little crowded due to the lunch rush. Max ordered the pizza while I went to the bathroom.

I had just washed my hands when I stepped back out, hoping Max found a table, when something caught my attention. What was that? I felt Aspen perk up, as I asked myself that question. Lavender and honeysuckle with a hint of vanilla. I walked over to the snack bar were Max was waiting for our seats. Still look over my shoulder, searching. Max shoved my arm.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He asked me, with a strange look.

"Do smell lavander, honeysuckle, and vanilla?" I ask him egarly.

"Maybe...," He shrugs. "Mostly I smell pizza." Our pizza had arrived and he picked up a slice and took a huge bite."You're 21, maybe you sense your mate." He pointed out with a mouth full of food. I looked at him. For the first time ever since I've known him, what he said had just clicked made sense.

"Do you think she was here?" I sounded shocked.

"Or still is." He pointed out and looked around the room. Shrugged and went back to his pizza.

I turn way from the bar to keep looking around the room. When out of now where, some kid pushes through a bunch of people and knock someone over. Without thinking I quickly reach out to catch them. Than the scent hits my nose even stronger than before, I look down.

She was small and petite, 5'2 maybe? Her hair, a dark auburn with curls that frame her face. Wrinkling her small button nose, aand her breath held in rosey cheeks which both were splattered with freckles. She had naturally ruby lips and her body was tense and stiff. Bracing for the fall that should've happened.

She finally opened her eyes and locked them with mine. Mate! I felt my body pull her into me more than before, I wanted to kiss her. Mark her, make her mine.

Her forest emerald green eyes kept staring at me. If she felt this, she would've kissed me by now. She have the need for it, like me. But as I focused more on her, I could see the bewilderment covering her face.

"Are you okay, miss?"

I watched her swallow before she nodded. She was holding on to my left bicep, as I straightened her up and made sure she had full balance before I reluctantly let her go.

"IZZY, OH MY GOD!" I heard a young women screech across the restaurant. She was already out of the booth and was walking over here. Pulling her long blonde hair back into a messy bun, pulling back her fist. Max caught her arm before she had a chance for it to connect to my face.

"I wouldn't do that, if I were you." He said through his smirk.

"Well tell horn dog here, to get his fucking hands of my sister." She had reached for my mate and pulled her around behind this blonde's back. I couldn't help myself but chuckling.

"And what is so funny?" She snapped, ripping her arm free from Max's grip.

"You." I snorted. I watch the blonde's eyes turn a crimson red. Showing she was losing her temper and her wolf was wanting to emerge. I watched as my mate started rubbing her arm as she spoke softly. "Calm down, Mae. He was only trying to help."

"Yeah, well you the hell do you think you are anyways?!" Mae yelled. Max started smiling mischievously as I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm Alpha Logan from the Moonlight," I said in demanding voice. "And who are you?

Mae had shrunk back into my mate, who was kinda smiling at the fact her sister messed up. It was cute watching her stumble back.

"Excuse me, Alpha. Mae Cathedral from the Moonfall pack. Daughter of gamma, Damien Cathedral." She bowed her head in respect.

"And you?" I looked past Mae, towards my mate. She looked down at the ground, still stay behind Mae. She spoke softly, not making eye contact.

"Isabelle Fall, from Moonfall pack. Daughter of Alpha David Fall."
