I came out of my love induced coma and backed away from him already missing his warmth.

He let out a low growl showing that he did not appreciate the distance I put between us. He got back up and came towards me.

I didn't know whether he was happy that he found his mate or not.
Nevertheless, I was terrified right now. Each step he took towards me I took one back.

"Shift."

I was stunned for a while.

He can mind-link me!?

Well, duh. He's our mate of course he could mind-link us.

I stared at him not moving. I ain't gonna shift and stand there in all my naked glory for him to see. He may be my mate but we're not there yet.

What I didn't expect was for him to shift back. My eyes nearly bulged out of my socket and I quickly averted my eyes looking anywhere but his lower body part.

I looked at his face and lost my breath. The one standing in front of me was an Adonis. His piercing black eyes, his sharp nose, his strong, chiseled jaw, high cheekbones and lips that would make you melt just by looking at them. He had black hair that was disheveled by the rampage that he went on but it still looked good on him. He had killer 8 packs and a V-line and I didn't dare look further down.

I looked back to his face and he was smirking. How I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face. But it quickly disappeared.

"I said shift." His tone had a hint of anger.

I looked at him pleading with my eyes that I didn't want to shift back naked.

"Don't test my patience, Angel. Shift." Then he looked to my eyes and his features soften as realization hit him. He sighed.

"No wonder." He bent down to get his clothes tied around his ankle. He wore his shorts and gave me his shirt.

"Here, you can wear this."
I took his shirt in my mouth and went behind a tree to shift and wore his shirt, well more like dress cause it reached just above my knees.

I'm not short. He's just that tall, about 6'8 compared to my 5'6 height. I consider myself pretty tall. And now that I'm dressed I'm scared to face him.

I was thinking of running back to the pack house. I would have just enough time to reach the pack house by the time he realizes that I'm gone and comes chasing after me so that's what I did.

I ran. It was kinda awkward running without my undergarments but I'll take what I can get.

I only ran like half a minute before I felt two arms going around my waist. So much for getting a headstart.

And before I knew it we were falling and he switched positions so I fell on top of him. He took the impact of my fall twice today.

He then switched positions again and he was on top of me with both his forearms next to my head so that he's not crushing me with his enormous physique.

"Where did you think you were going?" His voice husky. His minty breath was so fresh and his lips were inches away from mine.

"I..uh..I was..uhh.." I was wrecking my brain to come up with an excuse but had no such luck.

"Well, I think you were trying to run away from me." His lips were grazing my neck now and let me tell you it was the best feeling ever.

Then the fact that he was Alpha Zander came crashing into my mind. I recovered from the mate pull and tried shoving him off of me.
