Her Mate Is A Deadman

Chapter 11: Ryder

\Chapter 11: Ryder

That night played over and over in my head, for two nights. I don't like it, but it has to be done.

She belongs with Dimitri.

I reside in a cabin, in a different state, but not far from the border. Just in case I need to get back to the pack quickly. In the few days I've been here, I've went into town, got some food and just holed up in the cabin, watching Television. Anything to get my mind off of Malia.

Today, there was nothing good on. So, with an irritated sigh, I shut it off and walk out. Going into town seemed like a good idea.

--

Walking down the quiet sidewalk, I had used the time to think about Malia. Every single moment we shared together.

I remember the first day we met. We were children and I was just coming into the pack, because my parents were recruited. We met the alpha, and he welcomed us with open arms. Then, he introduced us to his family. His cheerful wife, and his two children; twins, Malia and Mason. I remember thinking oh my gosh, she is a pretty girl, act cool!

I didn't act cool. I was the dumbest little boy to ever walk the earth, with a cute little crush on a little girl.

I remember when we first actually started talking. I was 12, she was 11. We were playing in the sandbox at a park, on opposite corners and one day, she was trying to build a sand castle, but it wouldn't stay. I was watching her, and when she puckered her lips into a pout like she was about to cry, I took my bucket and ran to my house, filling it with water. When I came back, I made a big puddle of water on the sand and smiled at the blonde haired little girl before me, telling her that she could now build a stable castle, and she'd be the princess. That was the day I found out her name, as well. I remember thinking that was a pretty name for the prettiest girl.

So, you see; I've actually been in love with her since I first met her. Nothing has ever showed me other wise; not even a true mate showed up.

During my reminiscing, I almost bumped into a woman. She gasps and freezes, but almost falls over; I didn't even hit her yet. Nevertheless, I reached out quickly and held onto her shoulders, keeping her steady. Then, something unexpected happened. A sharp, wonderful feeling shot up and out of my body when I touched this woman, and the wolf in my howled, like he was saying finally!

The woman wasn't bad looking. Actually... She was damn beautiful. She had blonde, almost white hair and her eyes were a crystal blue. Her lips were full and her body was curvy. Her eyes widened, and her mouth fell agape. We both knew what just happened.

I found my mate.

--

Her name is Anita. We spent the rest of the day, talking to one another. To be honest, she was pretty cool. It was... Wow. I mean, who would have guessed this beautiful girl would have so quickly caught my heart?

Her laugh was amazing, too. I had almost forgotten about Malia.

"So, you have a pack?" She asked, her eyes lighting up. I smiled and nodded.

"Yup." Did I mention she was a rogue?

"Must be nice, having others to be around..." she said, a sad tone lacing her voice. I frowned.

"Why don't you come back with me when I go?" I asked. The wolf inside me liked that idea.

Anita bit her lip, thinking. "I don't know..."

"Oh, come on," I urged, scooting closer to her. Currently, we were back at my cabin, and on the couch. "Everyone would love you. My son would probably love you too," I said. I had told Anita before hand that I had a son, but his mother had regained contact with her true mate, so... Yeah.

Anita have me a shy smile. "You really think so?"

"I know so!" I said and she giggled. I smiled kindly at her and put a finger under her chin, lifting her head up so she could meet my eyes.

"Damn," I muttered and her smile softened.

"What?"

I studied her face for a while, took in the curves and crooks and points. She was perfect. As a response to her, I leaned down and captured her lips with mine. She scooted closer to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, kissing me back. The feeling this gave me was... Amazing. Even Malia didn't give me this kind of rush. Is this how she felt when she kissed Dimitri? Oh gosh, it's fucking perfect.

I laid Anita down on the couch, caressing her sides lightly, my fingertips dragging across her body. Her leg wrapped itself around my waist and in that moment, I knew I was about to be one with my true mate. Oh please, let it be.

As if forces were working against me, my phone started to ring. I growled in the back of my throat and got up. I muttered a sorry to the blonde beauty on my couch and dug my phone out of my pocket. When I saw the caller id, it was Malia. Curiously, I answered and put the phone to my ear. "Hello?"

"Ryder!" Malia sounded hysterical. I straightened up and held my breath.

"What's wrong?" I asked, on alert.

"S-s-someone.. Someone... S-s--"

"Malia, breathe." I said calmly, getting off the couch and pacing around the cabin. I could hear her failed attempts to calm down, and she spoke again.

"Someone took Aiden!"

Right then and there, my world fell apart. I talked to Malia for a while longer, asking when it happened, what she saw and if she looked in the places Aiden loved to go. Then, when everything came back as I feared, I told her I'd be there as soon as I can.

I hung up the phone and put it in my pocket again, looking at Anita, who studied me with concern. I clenched my jaw.

"I think you might be seeing the pack sooner than I planned."

Anita nodded and got up silently, walking over to me and putting her hands on my chest. She tilted her head up and placed a comforting type of kiss on my lips.

Funny thing; the comfort was there.

But Aiden was missing and I was gonna rip apart whoever did it.
