Chapter2

I sit back at my desk with a tonne of paper work to get through. Esme’s short visit managed to lift my spirits enough to get me through it all I haven’t stopped thinking about her in between each file. Maybe a weekend away just the two of us would be my chance to confess my undying love to her and tell her I want to take her as my chosen mate and Luna. We could go out to all the beach parties and clubs under the pretence of finding our fated mates Ive lost hope in us both finding them since we’ve both travelled to all the packs been to two annual mating balls every year since we were 16 together. we have been on our mate quest together since Esme wanted to find her fated mate we she became of age. but I just wanted to spend that time travelling and having esme to myself along the way I felt obligated and forced as the alpha to find my mate I only ever had eyes for one that’s my Esme . although if I found my mate I would have rejected her and kept going on the mate quest with esme that was always OUR time and our thing I guess.

I exhale after the last signature on the paperwork I call my assistant over the intercom and tell her to copy, fax and scan all documents online to be digitally filed. My stomach grumbles so I let her know I’m going to get some lunch and go for a walk around the pack grounds for some air and asked if she would like anything bought back for lunch. I’m well off money wise and could have the omegas make and serve my lunch but I’ve always gone out into the pack to get my lunch to interact personally with my pack it keeps us stronger and united although it’s something small and humbling my pack respects me a little more for it. I walk into our town located in the centre of the pack and make my way to the bakery their chicken salad rolls are to die for always with a vanilla slice for my sweet tooth afterwards.

The bell rings as I walk in and a few customers are inside already they all greet me and bow to me. “Hey alpha Sampson just the usual today doll.”

“Yes please Betty can you make an extra roll today no cheese please.”

“Sure are you taking esme her lunch today could you also give these to her for me” she hands me a bunch of sunflowers. “she’s been eyeing them off for a while now tell her they’re a thanks for helping Jess out in training when she was struggling. “

“Yeah sure I can do that.”

Betty rings up the total on the cash register and I pay. “Thanks Betty you’re a legend” I nod “Ed” as I pass him on the way out his Betty’s mate and Jess’s father his never too far from Betty I wonder if I would ever have that with Esme.
