Chapter 4

Nathan

I felt something soft and comfy beneath me, the soft sheets, I felt so relaxed; I then recalled what happened last night and bolted upright and took in my surroundings. I was in a decent looking hotel room, with a nice balcony and then it hit me like a ten ton truck coming down the freeway at high speed, the most intoxicating smell nose and I took a deep breath of the scent, it was a delightful mix of cinnamon and lilies, I let my sense of smell lead me to the person who had this scent, I found myself being lifted off the bed and my feet taking me to the source, I opened my eyes; I saw the most beautiful woman sleeping on the couch, her black hair was tied up and a few stray strands caressed her face, she was fair skinned and that was rare in the such a hot city like Mexico, but why did I not get this scent last night? I should have picked up her scent last night when she helped bring me and my boys here, I heard my wolf questioning if this was our mate, the only way for us to know was when she would open her eyes, there is an ancient saying “The eyes are the window to the soul” , and being werewolf, you kind of have two souls living in one body, one a human form and one of a beast. As humans we don’t recognise our soulmates until much later in life, but as a werewolf we often find our mates in our early teen years, I was one of the unfortunate ones; but something was drawing me to this beauty laying on the couch so soundly asleep, he soft pink lips and slightly chubby cheeks made her look adorable; I could tell she had a great height and we would look great together.

I shook my head, what was I thinking… I did not even know if she was my mate and I had questions to ask her, starting with “Who changed my clothes?” her eyes opened and big brown beautiful eyes stared up into my dark brown ones, they widened and I stepped back,

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to get in your personal space”

I spoke and she looked flustered and scared at the same time, she pulled the duvet higher up and looked deep into my eyes, the scent that was intoxicating me was gone; she was masking her scent… again.

“Stop masking your scent!” I ordered her and she stood up and walked towards me; her gaze not leaving mine we stared at each other for what felt like hours; neither one of us batting an eyelid. I could sense the powerful aura around her; was she an Alpha?

“Don’t give me orders” she spat out and I could smell the anger radiating off her “You’re not my Alpha” she finished off and turned away from me.

She was cute and her height was just at my chest, even when she looked up at me with her deadliest glare; I just wanted to squish her cheeks and kiss her, with her masking her scent; I could still look into her soul and she was something special, but it made it difficult to know if she was my mate…

“who changed my clothes?”

The more I looked at her the more I felt like I was looking at a younger version of Luna Athena. Her attitude was that of Luna Athena and her features as well. I was pulled out my observation, when She bluntly replied,

“Me”

I replied

“Huh?”

I had completely lost track of what I had asked her, I was mesmerised by her beauty and the powerful aura she carried around. She replied once again,

“I changed your clothes.”

I covered my body feeling somewhat violated, she turned her head slightly and smiled mischievously,

“Don’t act like you’re a virgin, we both know you’re not and by the way… nice junk”

My jaw dropped to the floor as I watched her walk out the room door and giggle.

I met up with the guys a little while later and they explained what happened, the tree falling on me that strange girl that helped; she was definitely werewolf, but why she masked her scent was a mystery to us all; we sat there in the room I had spent the night in trying to figure it out and this old woman whom had  helped them when they brought me here had  no idea who this woman was and how did she just disappear into thin air. I could feel my wolf being restless in the back of my mind, he had been calling “mate” since the night she brought us here, but for some reason it did not click in her head or there was a bigger piece of the puzzle that I do not have. She is my mystery woman, and I love a good mystery.

Aaron, my best friend was having a blast poking me about not getting some action this morning, I was the guy who always got action; a girl’s number, maybe something a little more exciting like a blow or a quick hook-up in the club private bathroom that the Blood Moon pack owned. They were going to milk this till the damn cows come home!

“So, dude… No action at all?”

“No Aaron, I was more in shock of the beautiful woman that was in my room”

Then Dylan started,

“Dude, you were dumbstruck by a beautiful woman; no wonder it was storming last night!”

I groaned in annoyance and the rest of my buds were roaring with laughter; none of them were understanding that this was something more, my mood was off and something within me was changing; I was feeling a strong pull towards this mystery woman and she just vanished. We left the hotel and town later that afternoon, I tried getting contact information on her, but I came to a dead end every time. I was so dumbstruck by her goddess like beauty; I did not even get her name or car registration number! I decided to treat this as a beautiful dream. We were now heading to Mexico City and for some reason I had a feeling everything was going to change.

It was now late afternoon and I had taken over driving and there was a crazy traffic jam in the dessert just fifteen minutes from the entrance to Mexico City. I assume there was an accident up ahead and that is why the authorities were blocking the road, it was about an hour into the traffic jam when a black jeep with lightly tinted windows pulled up in the lane next to me; I felt weird, the hairs on my neck began to stand and my wolf was howling and creating such a show in my mind, I had to block him out, I looked out the window and took notice of the woman in the car next to me; she clearly felt something because her head snapped in my direction, her eyes widened with realization and mirrored my own expression; it was the mystery woman and my wolf nagged “mate, mate, mate”. I opened my window to ask her name, but she did not bother bringing her window down, she looked forward as if she were being trapped and she speed off down one of the dirt roads on the side and was gone, I could not give chase as a huge truck blocked me and the driver did not look like he wanted to be in a giving mood.

Zephyra

I had just narrowly escaped from that hotel before that weirdo figured out who I was, and which pack I am from. Meeting them was the last thing on my mind and finding my mate… during a fierce storm, breaking records here and running from my mate, I laughed in my head. I got to my jeep and started the engine, checked that everything was as it should be and then headed onto the highway, I knew the in’s and out’s through this town; I came here ever so often to clear my mind. Now it was time to go back and face the music; I had to ask the questions that needed to be asked and be ready for the answers that came with them.

I started up the Jeep and pulled out of the alley; heading onto the main road, I could not get the image of my mate out of my mind, there were feelings inside me that I could not even begin to explain; but I did not need a mate, not right now at least. He would only serve as a distraction from my actual mission of finding out what happened to my biological parents.

The temperature in the desert was brutal today, I had sweat dripping between my breasts; I had to switch of the Jeep ac because I was running low on gas. I let out a heavy sigh, just fucking great! The traffic had come to a grinding halt, I opened the window just a bit so I could feel a slight breeze, I decided to take of my white vest and keep my grey sports bra on; I dabbed the sweat off my body and made my bun lose. I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach and through my tinted windows I could feel a pair of eyes on me; I turned my head and there he was, my handsome mate; staring right back at me. I had to fight every nerve in my body that wanted to get out the car and hug him, kiss him, and let him do me on the hood of both our cars. Having his hands squeezing my cute ass and running his fingers up my legs as I wrap them around his waist feeling his dick hard against my wet pussy that he would be able to feel through my denim shorts… I was leaning back in my seat; biting my lip and suddenly, I was brough out of my sexual thoughts. Fuck! What was happening to me, I rolled a little further and his car still pulled up next to mine… I needed to find a way to get further away from him; I could not allow myself to be distracted! I saw a side road and turned down and sped off as if my life depended on it, ignoring all the blaring horns.

I reached the Night Terror pack house and those who were training on the lawn stopped and looked, while my Jeep passed them, I could feel pride from some and resistance from the others, something was wrong. I got out and I could sense the anger towards me from those who were resisting me, and I had no idea why; but I was going to find out. I got out of my Jeep and one of the pack warriors came towards me, he towered over me and his forest green eyes pierced into my dark brown eyes; it was a challenging look… I stood my ground, not flinching… not backing away…

“what do you have to say Josh?”

I asked and my voice held an authoritative tone, a tone I never knew I had in me; Josh crossed his arms over his broad chest and his muscles bulged, the sweat beads drops running down his perfectly carved ab’s, I would have usually found this highly attractive; but something in me changed and I had a slight gag reflex. He cocked an eyebrow at me and then spoke,

“You should have kept running princess, nobody wants you here anymore” his words were hard and rough.

“and since when did you take it upon yourself to decide who stays in the pack and who leaves?” my voice held conviction, I could feel my blood boil, how dare this son-of-a-bitch!

I grabbed Josh by his balls “You know I can kick your ass from here to the fucking moon and back if I want to”

I saw a glimmer of fear in his eyes, and I felt much stronger than before; the power radiating of me was like nothing I had ever experienced and let go of his balls, I took a deep breath and calmed myself down, I took a look around and noticed that the pack that had once whole-heartedly accepted me; had now turned their backs on me, the only person that stood by my side was Charles. He

Charles came forward to explain what was going on since I left twenty-four hours ago, but before he could get a word out, Atonella came racing towards me, her eyes were red from crying and she looked as if someone was going to kill her.

“Zeph, help us please, they are going to kill my parents” she spoke and her eyes with wide with fear and her voice was breaking; her whole body was shaking in fear as I held her upright

“Nelly, who’s going to kill your parents? And why”

“Olivia and her goons!”
