The Lost Queen of Wolves

Damien

Before we’d even actually met, her scent was all over Jazlyn’s hotel room when I walked in, it took over my senses and lingered in my nostrils. I wanted to know who she was. Who else has been in here? I asked Jaz inhaling deeply. Uh, the whole band. Why? She asked giving me a DUH look.  Mate! Was all that was able to escape my lips.

What??!! Who? They all asked in unison.  I don’t know! I growled. That’s what I’m asking you. Has there been any other females in here? I asked trying to keep calm.  Just Reign. She scrunched her face.  

OH SHIT, are you saying that Reign is your mate?  As in Reign… Reign, Reign? Jyden asked with surprise.  Our lead singer?  Reign? No way, she’s HUMAN!  He said with surprise.  HEY! I’m HUMAN! Ryott scolded.  I’m sorry babe, I didn’t mean… he started.  SHUT UP JYDEN! Ryott scoffed and turned her nose up at her mate making him groan at his stupidity.

Strawberries and roses, it’s all over the room.  I said closing my eyes taking in her lingering scent.  She was here this morning having breakfast. Koltyn said munching on a muffin.  Where is she?!  I roared making everyone flinch.  

First, you are going to have to calm down otherwise you’re going to scare her away. Second, she’s human! Remember?!  My dad said raising his voice. Third, she’s here in the hotel, so pull yourself together. He finished with a raised brow.

The phone rang… Hey Reign, yeah, they all just got here. Sure, we will meet you at the elevators.  Ryott grinned, hanging up the phone. Okay, here’s your chance lover boy. We need to meet her at the elevators. We are having lunch with her downstairs. She said leaning on my brother, Ryott is his mate and Koltyn is Jazlyn’s mate.

We all walked out to the elevator, I couldn’t believe how antsy I was, I was finally going to meet my long-awaited mate. I could already smell her; her scent was intoxicating. I heard her laughing, it was beautiful. When we turned the corner, Jyden nudged me and lifted his chin in Reign’s direction, there she is, my beautiful mate. She has jet-black long hair with purple and pink highlights, she has the most gorgeous grey eyes I have ever seen. She was a tiny little thing, but she looked like she worked out and stayed fit, she had curves in all the right places.

Jazlyn called out to her, she turned and smiled wide, my heart skipped a beat or two. She is my angel, my love, my mate. We made it to the elevator as the doors were opening, I couldn’t help myself, I grabbed Reign’s arm gently and pinned her to the elevator wall before anyone could react the doors closed. It was just the two of us, I gazed into her eyes, she looked at me with wide eyes. I leaned into her ear, inhaled her sweet scent, and whispered, MINE! And placed a light kiss in the crook of her neck, I felt her shiver and release a small whimper.

There were sparks shooting through my body before I could do or say anything else, she whispered, Please don’t hurt me.  I could see fear flash in her eyes.  Dammitt, I cause her to fear me? I said myself.  Yes, you did you asshat! You scared little mate. Ayres growled at me.  I felt a hand on my shoulder, Son, let her go, it was my dad. When I looked down into her eyes, I saw fear in them. I released my grip and she quickly darted into Jazlyn’s arms.

I walked out of the elevator, I-I’m so sorry, I never meant to hurt you, and I will never hurt you. I said as I tried to caress her cheek, but she recoiled her arm from me.  Please don’t touch me. She softly sobbed. Hearing her say those words cut through my heart. What do I do, she’s my mate, I can’t live without her.  I couldn’t let her go, I finally found her, she’s my long-awaited mate and I have no intention of letting her out of my sight.

C’mon on ya big dummy, lets grab a table and talk. Jyden said dragging me to the hotel restaurant with Koltyn right behind us. You need to give Reign a little space, this is a lot for her, especially since she doesn’t know about us.  I looked at him shaking my head. What! You’ve never told her about you, any of you?! I grumbled. What have I done? I asked him.

I wish I had some words of wisdom, but I don’t. All I know is that you are going to have to take it slow with her, she’s human and she’s fifteen. Jyden said. You know you could always… he started to say but trailed off.  I could do what?  I knew where he was going with this.  Rej…. He started but I interrupted.  NO!! I would never do that to her! She’s the one I want! I whisper-yelled.  Okay, calm down, it was just a thought. He said raising his hands in surrender.

Get that thought out of your head! It’s never going to happen!  She’s my mate and my Luna. I said slamming my hand on the table. Dad glared at me, and I slouched down in my seat.  Then don’t go around scaring her and acting like an animal, let her see you, the real you, let her get to know the real you. Jyden started.

Shit, they are staring at us and laughing. I looked at Jyden and Koltyn with a little fear in my voice. As much as I wanted to wrap her in my arms, I was going to have to wait, Jyden said she’s fifteen. She won’t come to know that she’s my mate until she turns eighteen, she’s human and she won’t feel the pull to me until she’s closer to turning eighteen. She’s human but they still feel a pull to us, that is only if they are our true mate.  If she was a wolf then she would have already started to feel something for me, and I would be able to tell her that she’s mine and only mine and I’m hers and only hers. I will have to keep my distance from her until she turns eighteen. It’s the only way I will be able to keep from losing control in front of her. The next three years are going to drive me crazy.
