Is Melody his mate?

 Hunter walked back to his hotel room, depressed and frustrated. He needed to hit something or someone to reduce the pain in his chest. No, he needed his mate to reduce the pain in his chest.

 How could he carelessly lose his mate like that? He was so carried away with his conclusion that one of those ladies was his mate that he didn't notice when he lost the scent.

Stupid

 He was so stupid. Hunter bangs the hotel room door, making the door nearly fly off its hinges and his beta, who was in the room waiting for him, nearly flew out through the window.

 Oh God his alpha was not in a good mood!!

 Hunter ignored his beta and walked to the bed and dropped on it. If his beta wasn't there, he would have curled up to lick his wounds.

Stupid!

Stupid!

 " Are you okay, alpha? Michael asked cautiously.

 " I just got my mate's scent now”

 Michael's eyes widened in shock. They were going to have Luna very soon? But why was his alpha not happy? Has he not been looking for his mate for a very long time? 

    " Are you not happy at having found your mate, alpha?” Michael asked with a complex look.

  " I lost her”

 " There are two new guys in town, they are from the city. According to the mayor, they own a colossal company and want to build a recreation center here, so they came to check out the lands. I'm really excited because very soon there will be a lot of people coming here for vacation and the town will become open" the manager at the little café where Melody's does a part-time job told a customer.

 Melody, who was cleaning a table, stopped to listen. She heard this somewhere but dismissed it because it was rare for people to come to their outback town but hearing it from her manager again made her know that the rumors were true.

 Two new guys? Owner of a big company? 

 What If she finds these men and asks them for help? Will they be willing to help her? 

 Melody laughed at herself mockingly. Who will help her in this world? Men can't help a lady unless they will get something in return, and that's something she can't give. When her mother was alive, she told her enough things about men, especially the ones in the city, for her to be wary of them.

 " Melody move it, customers are here, you have been at that table for over thirty minutes now” the manager yelled when she saw Melody standing close to a table with a towel hanging in her hands.

 Melody broke out of her thoughts and realized that she had really been standing in one position for a long time. She turned around and saw that customers were already walking in threes and twos.

 She forced a smile and raised her head up a little before walking to the first group.

 " Welcome to Anna's café, what would you like to have today?”

**

 " This land has been in my family for hundreds of years.....” The mayor was saying as he showed Hunter and Micheal the lands he wanted to sell to them to build the recreation center.

 Michael was listening attentively, but Hunter's mind was somewhere else. He knew that this was a small town and everybody knows everybody, but he didn't know his mate's name, so how would he find her?

  " Mr Winthrop?” The mayor called when he saw that Hunter was no longer listening to him but had a far away look in his eyes, he seemed lost in thought.

 Hunter shook his head to clear his thoughts. He needs to focus on business now and look for his mate later, but could he really do it?

  " I'm listening to you” Hunter said

   

 The mayor nearly snorted. How can the man say he was listening when his name has been called more than three times yet he did not answer and when a question was thrown to him, he did not reply? The mayor chose to say nothing and continue to explain about the land to Micheal.

 After showing them the land, the mayor decided to take them to a café so that they could sit and talk.

 Immediately Hunter came down from his car in front of the café the mayor directed his beta, Micheal, to drive to, the scent he perceived yesterday hit his nose again. Apples. Hunter sniffed the air as he followed the mayor into the café but stopped when he noticed that the scent was faint

   

 His mate was in the café but left before he arrived.

 Why was fate playing a cruel joke on him? Dangling his mate in his front and snatching her before he could even see her face!!

 He wanted to run out and trace the scent, but he knew that, but now the scent will be mixed with the scent of others.

 Hunter picked up the coffee that was placed in his front and took a sip, his eyes widened as his taste buds opened, " who made this?” He looked up and asked the woman who brought the coffee.

  " You like it?” The woman was all smiles.

 " Yeah" Hunter nodded as he took a big gulp, not minding that it was hot

  " Melody made it” the woman said she makes the coffee here. She left some minutes ago but just came back now you are lucky. You can order more” the woman turned around and walked away

 " I told you Mr. Winthrop, that this café is the best in this town

 If he had someone like this in his company that makes coffee for him, he won't have to drink all that tasteless coffee!! Especially the one made by Micheal!!

 Hunter turns to glare at his beta, making him break out in a cold sweat. 

 Why have I done again?!!

 The scent of apples hit his nose again, making Hunter tense up.

'Melody made it, she makes the coffee here. She left some minutes ago but just came back now you are lucky' that's what the woman who served them coffee said. 

 She left before he entered and came back after he was seated?

 Is Melody his mate?.
